"Class dismissed." Max says.
Everyone starts to walk out of the room, talking with each other leaving Matrix with a list of questions to ask.
"Dr. Peterson?" Matrix asks
"It's Mr. Max, if you wish to be formal. Although, Max is enough." Max smiles
"I can't seem to get use to it." Matrix looks down nervously
Max pulls a chair near by her, sitting beside her "You really listened, did you, rookie?" He asks
"R-Rookie?" Matrix glances at him
Max shrugs "You'd be a good intern, Trix. Contact me if you want to be a doctor."
"I am flexible, doc." Matrix plays with her pencil.
"May I?" Max says, asking to borrow her pencil. Matrix nervously gives her pencil to him "I know. It seems like Brown and Hernandez are not the only geniuses." Says Max
"Their smarts are a gift. Mine was just luck." Says Matrix
Max chuckles "There is no luck in pure skills, Ms. Williams. Your smarts are a blessing."
Matrix nervously looks down in embarrassment "...T-Thank you." She says as she's flattered.
Max smiles, standing up as he gently put her pencil down on her table "I will see you soon, Matrix." He says, standing up and leaving the room.
Without Matrix realizing, her list of questions were answered, written in pencil.
A few hours later, Matrix walks inside Nathan's office "Pack your things up, we're-- doctor!?" Matrix's eyes went wide as she sees Max, sitting on Nathan's desk while Nathan is sitting on his own chair
"I told you, it's Max." Max smiles
"Why are you not--"
"Now that you know my gem, I can not just leave you all alone in the 'mission' that Mr. Brown told me." Says Max, cutting Matrix's words
"You know that Peterson guy is so boring. Ugh, I wish I could just do my make up instead of listening to a babbling doctor." Says Eli loudly as she walks around the corridor alongside with Carlos, Karima and Val.
"I find his subject interesting, I must admit." Says Karima
"What!? No fucking way, who the hell talks about brains these days!?" Says Carlos
"Yeah, and what makes them think I wanna learn about that shit!?" Says Val.
The group enters the office, only to see three glaring gem holders.
"Ms. Watson, Ms. Miller. Minus 20 for your next week's test." Max glares at them "And as for you, Mr. Hernandez, I will immidiately score your test as 0 out of 150." Max added.
"WHAT!?" Carlos yells
Max crosses his arms "Do not dare to change my mind."
"B-But! My perfect score streaks!" Carlos nearly begged
"Ms. Smith, I suppose I could add another 10 points for you." Max glances at her
"It is a honor." Karima smiles "Peace be with you."
"...Yeah. Thanks." Says Max awkwardly
"There must be something I can do! Please Dr. Peterson, I beg you!" Carlos begs, literally hugging Max's leg
"Get off me!" Max glares at him
"I can help you with that actually, Carl." Nathan stands up from his chair "Me and Dr. Maximus can talk this over and let's see what I can do." Nathan says, pulling Max's arm as he drags him outside the office.
"...Don't you think they're kinda a cute couple?" Val asks
"OMG, I thought I was the only one who thought that!" Eli squeals
"Mr. Max and Mr. Brown? How old are they anyways?" Carlos asks
"Mr. Max said his father died on the age of 34. Which made him 22 at that time. He must be in his thirties. If both his father and my mother died at the same age, then I would be 10. It took me 10 years to reach this University. Which means, he's probably 32." Matrix says
"...Where the hell did you got this calculation? Is that even correct..?" Carlos raises an eyebrow.
"He was born in 1987. You owe me a vanilla ice cream if I'm correct." Matrix crosses her arms
"Deal." Carlos grins
"How about Mr. B?" Val asks
"I'm not sure. But I think he's in his twenties." Matrix guesses
"What's that? New math?" Carlos chuckles
"No." Says Matrix
"---Oh."
Nathan then drags Max in "Good news, Carlos, you'll have your 100 streaks!" Nathan smiles
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Carlos rushes and hugs Nathan tightly
Nathan chuckles "Yeah, yeah."
"But you will no longer be at the 1st rank." Says Max, crossing his arms
"WHAT!?" Carlos panics
"One of your friend here will be stealing the 1st rank of the class. And you should know who." Max glances at Matrix
Carlos stares at disbelief before Matrix starts
"...1987." Says Matrix
"Excuse me?" Max raises an eyebrow
"1987. Those numbers. Do they sound familiar to you?"
"I was born in 1987. Yes, those sound familiar."
"You owe me your rank and vanilla ice cream." Says Matrix
"...." Carlos literally cries against Nathan's chest
"There, there..." Nathan smiles awkwardly.
Matrix creates a portal "We have to go. Now."
"Where to?" Max asks, taking his doctor coat which he kept inside Nathan's locker
"World of mysteries and crime." Says Matrix
"Like Holmes?" Asks Carlos
"Almost." Matrix replies "We are the rip off."
"Ooh!! I can't wait to be Holmes!!" Carlos smiles before jumping inside the portal.
Matrix then shuts the portal close
".. Matrix, what are--"
"He can't keep his mouth shut. That portal has a very very slippery slide. It will took at least two hours and forty minutes to land. And I can bet you, he is screaming right now."
Carlos shrieks hideously
"...Well, lead the safer way." Says Val.
Matrix opens another portal "Come." She says.
Val and Karima walk inside the portal as Karima hums a song of peace
"Is she always like that?" Max asks whoever around him as he walks inside the portal
"Trust me. First day of class, she said 'Peace be with you' or something closer to that." Nathan answers, walking after Max
"There goes my vanilla fucking latte, ugh! You're so disgusting Matrix, you should have sent us to Starbucks or something." Eli glares at Matrix
Matrix didn't answer as Eli frowns a little
"Look, sorry for your family, okay? And sorry for acting like a bitch to you." Says Eli, holding Matrix's hand "....Do we still have a chance to... See the real you."
Matrix blinks, squeezing Eli's hand back "I lost those emotions, Eli. I can replace it with a vanilla latte."
Eli chuckles "Whatever suits you. C'mon. We need a dimension whisperer." Eli then walks inside the portal
Matrix then walks inside as she closes the portal behind.
