February 12, 1808.
Four years had passed, and Xavier was now seven years old. Now in his fourth year of attending the Pennsylvania Royal Academy, he had formed numerous new friends.
On a Monday morning, early in the morning, Jonathan yelled at Xavier to wake up and prepare for school.
Xavier woke up abruptly and checked the time on his clock.
It read 07:50 AM on the clock.
With just ten minutes left to get to school, Xavier was going to be late, and his heart fell to his stomach when he saw the clock.
Xavier thought to himself, "Miss Seo-Yeon is going to kill me," with fear.
In less than five minutes, Xavier got out of bed, brushed his teeth, and took a shower. He rushed downstairs, where Jonathan was preparing breakfast for the two of them.
Jonathan rinsed the dishes and remarked, "Oh, Xavier, hurry up and come eat, so you can get going to school already."
"I'm sorry, but I don't have time to eat dinner, Dad. When I get to school, I'll eat there," Xavier answered.
With that, Xavier ran out of the house and said, "Bye, Dad. See you later."
Jonathan smiled back and said, "Bye, son, have a great day at school."
Then, out of nowhere, Xavier returned, grabbing the egg sandwich Jonathan had made him, and said, "Oh, I forgot; let me grab this sandwich to eat on my way to school."
Then again, Xavier departed the house, uttering "Cya Dad."
Jonathan burst out laughing and replied, "Cya, Xavier.".
With just three minutes to spare, Xavier dashed to school and took The Visors of Time off. Then his deep, crimson eyes started to turn back to their natural color—cosmic eyes.
Xavier then started teleporting short distances from himself using his vector powers so he could get to school quickly.
Xavier heard the first school bell ring as soon as he reached the school gate. As a result, Xavier, using his gifted ability, changed the acceleration vector acting on his body and directed it forward, increasing both his movement and speed. A rush of force accelerated him in an instant, making him move much faster.
Xavier reduced the resistance that was attempting to stop him by adjusting the inertia vector. As he hit amazing speeds, his surroundings started to blur, and he carefully adjusted the friction vector to almost eliminate all the air resistance to nearly zero.
When students saw someone rush by quickly, they realized it was Xavier right away. As he went past, they all weaved at him, and Xavier smiled and waved back.
"He consistently arrives late," remarked a senior to their friends.
With a giggle, their friend said, "Well, that's Xavier for you."
Xavier moved the directional vectors with each step, making it easy for him to swerve through the school hallway.
As the second bell rang, Xavier was already at the door of his class as his classmates entered.
Jupiter exclaimed, "Oh, you're finally here!" as soon as he saw Xavier.
Xavier answered, "Yeah, I am here," while perspiring.
Jupiter questioned, "Why are you always late, bro?"
"No, I just overslept this time," Xavier replied.
Jupiter then said, "Mate, you always have an explanation for everything."
And Xavier answered with a smug expression, "Yeah."
