I’m narrating this chapter because a certain individual told me that Mat seemed “too perfect” when what I’m narrating was supposed to introduce all of this. Oh, well.

“Huh?”
Eliah, I gave him a disapproving look.

First, when he was fourteen, Mathias caused a couple to break up because he said the following when he saw them kissing behind the school (I don’t even know what he was doing there; his mind is sometimes a mystery).
“Oh? Liz and... Oscar? Uh, but... weren’t you dating Alex?”
“No, no, Mathias, I broke up with him a long time ago.”
“But I saw you together just yesterday... How strange.” He said this without malice.
“Seriously, Liz!?” Oscar seemed angry, but he just left.
“Mat! You’re such a... Ugh!” Liz tried to slap him but didn’t and walked away.

Another incident occurred when he was helping some teachers with various tasks. However, he took on too much work trying to help everyone, and in his hurry to carry a box full of lab containers, he tripped on the stairs. Because he was moving too fast and wasn’t used to it, he didn’t use his PSI Creations, and all the containers broke. In the end, he had to return everything...
...
Another such event that shows he wasn’t always responsible was when he stayed up late watching TV. This was because, in addition, his mother wasn’t home due to work, and his uncle wasn’t there either. The programming was entertaining, at least to him, and... the next day, when he had classes, he woke up at 11 in the morning. He felt guilty for not having gone to class, but...
Do you know what’s worse? It happened several more times when his mother and uncle weren’t around, and he no longer felt guilty or anything. Although, during these times, he would visit the Crowell couple. When they returned, they scolded him.
...
Once, there was going to be an exam. Because of this, Mathias, James, and Erin decided to study together. The exam was in four days, and still, they studied a lot at Mat’s house.
They literally worked themselves to exhaustion studying, as there were many topics and they had to memorize several things. They stayed up late into the night.
And then, they took the exam. Erin seemed a bit worried, as she always struggled with these exams, and her parents would always scold her.
But...
“Oh?” she said. “Look!”
They had just received their grades. Mathias and James, who were sitting near her, moved closer.
“Wow, congratulations,” James said, surprised.
“Well, yeah... It’s incredible! You should be proud of yourself,” Mat said.
She got an A.
“Hehe, yes,” Erin said. “I was really surprised myself. But anyway, how did you two do?”
“I also got an A,” James replied.
“And you, Mat?”
“Well... Good, good, yes,” he answered. “But that doesn’t matter; what matters is that you got an excellent grade, Erin!”
“Oh, well... I suppose, haha,” Erin replied. She was happy.
And about Mat... He got an F and a tremendous scolding and punishment.

“Uh... what was that?” Eliah asked me.
“Isn’t that what you wanted to hear? That Donovan did stupid things sometimes,” I replied.
“...No, not at all.”
The End.
