The next day in the morning Michael sees that Myths online was now operative, his joy was great, and he went to school with a smile in his face.
The smile did not last long, because the rumors of him spread like fire.
"Hey, is not that guy who could last in one versus one with that miss army?" asked a guy.
"Yes, he is I am one of the few who were passing in his class and apparently he knows some type of martial art used by the army of another country" say another guy.
Little Michael knew that he was the only one that could block and counter some fists and kicks made by teacher Stuart.
"Great I am still standing out" grunted an exasperated Michael.
In the last hour of school a guy with glasses black hair and blue eyes started to talk with Michael.
"H-hey!, you M-michael, a-after school w-wanna go to the game center?" asked shyly.
"......Sure, why not?" said Michael with a friendly smile.
The guy become rigid for a moment and when he ended to process the answer of Michael he went out of the classroom while shouting "YEEEEEEEESSSSHHHH!", like a mad man.
"He is a crazy guy, but If I hang out with him I will be the most ordinary of the both" thought Michael.
In the entrance of school Michael meet the glasses guy and introduce himself.
"H-hello again my name is I-ian R-reeze n-nice to m-meet you" said the guy.
"Hello I am Michael Bridges nice to meet you too, we should going?" said Michael.
"Y-yes!" said Ian.
First they go out of school and go to the mall, then they go to a mall, this was one of the places Michael went frequently when his family was alive and some time to time when he lived with Steve.
"I know the place that want to go, it is really great, when I was young I went frequently at this place" said Michel with enthusiasm.
"Y-you too!?, w-what was your favorite game!?, mine is the one where you shot the enemy soldiers with different guns!" said Ian almost shouting out.
"Whoa, calm down, that was a good one but I liked more the one that you hit the rats with a hammer" said Michael.
"T-that is a g-good one too!" said Ian.
"You know I actually only wanted to go to that place because I had the goal to win the grand prize" said Michael.
"A-are you t-t-t-talking about the complete set of that old game with 20 games included!?, nobody could win them!" shouted Ian.
"Wanna try?~" said Michael with a grin in his face.
When they go to the game center what they saw almost broke the hearts of both Ian and Michael, this was the last day of the gaming center.
"I.....I want to cry, all those happy moments and now this place will..." Ian couldn't end his sentence.
"Ian" said Michel.
"Yes?"asked Ian.
"You wanna stay like these in the entrance or want to go and have a last chance to win the grand price? I will go what about you" said Michael with resolution.
"I-I will go!" said Ian.
In the desk of the game center a girl with blonde hair tied in a pony tail with green eyes and a sad face while reading a magazine was attending the lonely game center.
"Miss!" shouted Ian.
"I am a teenager!" shouted the girl.
"S-sorry!" cry Ian.
"I want all the tokens I can buy with this" said Michael while taking out of his wallet 5 thousands dollars.
"T-that will take time, but I will do it, you can do win it!" said the girl understanding what they planned to do and cheering them up.
"You wanted the grand prize to be gained?" asked Ian.
"Yeah, my family is the one that owned this place, but since no one entered since a year a go my family decided to sell this place, a big company will buy it to a very good price, I wanted to win the grand prize because all the games I wanted when I was little are there, but the rules say if I don't win it,I can't take, I will cheer for you.....and here we are, 3500 tokens they are all we have here right now, if you want I can go for the rest that are in my dads office" said the girl.
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
"Please!" pleaded Ian.
"Right away!" said the girl while running out to her fathers office.
"This is our turn" said Michael with an aura of life and death situation.
"Y-yeah" the same with Ian.
The hours go with lightning speed, after organize their places both Ian and Michael were both in the zone while gaining game tickets, Michael go with games that needed dexterity and strength and Ian go with the others that need precision and coordination, the girl came back when the both almost spend all their tokens and give them more opportunities to gain the grand prize.
"H-how much w-we need?" asked Ian.
"2 thousand tickets more" said the girl.
"2 THOUSAND!?, but we emptied all the machines after obtaining 998000!" shouted Ian.
"A million tickets?, if you thought about it, is really cheap compared to buying them by yourself" said Michael.
"S-still we e-emptied all the m-machines with the last one" said a dejected Ian.
"Not all of them, there is still one last with tickets in it" said the girl while pointing to the machine.
"W-we are r-ruined" said a dispirited Ian.
The game she pointed out was the dance game machine.
"Sadly for both of you, the game need you to have coordination and short time response, you think you can do it?" asked the girl.
"I don't" said the dejected Ian.
"I.....think I can" said a dubious Michael.
"Well at least one has the attitude, hey if you don't mind sharing, want me to help you?" said the girl.
"You will not take them to your home " said Michael with a serious face.
"Okay, but wherever and whenever you are going to install it, you will let me play it, is a deal?" said the girl.
After thiking about the condition the girl first made a pensive pose, then she take out her cellphone and texted someone, when she finally ended her testeing the girl face Michel.
"....Deal, oh I almost forgot to say something" said the girl.
"What is it now?" asked Michael.
"This place will be with a lot of people in short time" said the girl with a grin while showing her cellphone.
"....Call your father now, tell him that he need to count the tickets when we finish the game" said Michael.
"Eh?, why?" asked the girl.
"If someone sees you counting the tickets he will think that the game or the number was fixed" said Michel.
Seconds before Michael ended the word "fixed" the girl was already calling her father.
"Dad come here right now, the grand prize is almost won, you will count the tickets, I will be one of the person that will win it" was the only thing that the girl said.
The girl go and change of clothes to normal ones and In no less than 10 minutes a middle age guy with little brown hair and green eyes came with the same clothes the girl was wearing 10 minutes ago.
"Dear how many is needed?" asked the man to the girl.
"2 thousand" said the girl.
"SO LITTLE!...Hello, call the guys and tell them that the grand prize is almost won, the last machine is the dance game....yes...yes...yes...since the day I knew the day this place will close, yes you can......I DON'T CARE, JUST PUT YOUR FATTY ASS HERE RIGHT NOW!" said the man shouting the last words to his cellphone after ending the call.
"Guys please some people I know wanted to see the prize go out of this place and since this will be the last day you can have the rest too if you win, they will go to the trash if no one take it" said the guy.
"I will prefer that n-"tried to said Michael, but to his surprise the girl answer more fast than him.
"Yes!" said the girl with enthusiasm.
"Here we go again"thought Michael while resigning to wait for a crowd to form.
