September 15th at Forlong private school; entering the classroom, Chad saw David slumped over his desk tired, maybe a little depressed.
(Chad:)”Yo David, great work yesterday!” Chad being as happy go lucky as ever, greets David.
(David:)”How do you call THAT great work?” He seems annoyed by Chad’s simple thought process.
(Chad:)”We saved the day, that is all that matters, don’t worry about the nuclear meltdown.”
Chad being in his own world seems completely nonchalant about the horrors of yesterday.
(David:)”Immense infrastructure damage, loss of civilian life, we thought you died… yeah nothing worth mentioning.” He replies sarcastically.
(Chad:)”You brought as many people as you could back to life and i have died before, so you did good, celebrate!”
(David:)”I know of the positives, yet the negatives still remain.”
(Chad:)”That is called being a pessimist, be an optimist like me!”
(David:)”Don’t try to teach me anything, it hurts more than my pessimism.”
(Chad:)”Anyway, have you seen Myrgot anywhere? how is she doing?”
(David:)”She is fully healed… physically speaking. She still has some soul tears from her soul being torn apart.
I am gonna continue slowly healing her soul over the next few days, so no superhero action for her this week.”
(Chad:)”Did I not put her soul back together properly after her Hellsplosion?”
(David:)”I don’t know, not very knowledgeable on soul healing… or the hellsplosion as you put it. She was alive at least when you handed her over to me.”
(Chad:)”That is good, so she will not come to school either?.” (David:)”Yes.”
(Chad:)”I think her demons will be sad they don’t get to come out for awhile. Well does not matter for now. Did you finish your homework after the incident?”
(David:)”Yes… Do you wanna copy my homework?”
(Chad:)”Thanks bro, you know me so well. I was too busy with heroics to care about wether the school even existed tomorrow.”
(David:)”The incident was not even close to affecting the school, you lazy magic knight.”
Talking openly about their heroics in class yet not one even bats an eye.
Not because the classmates are used to the heroics that they do, but that no one hears what is really being said.
Their conversation is protected by Chad’s spell, making people hear them talk about a game they play instead.
A girl walks up, a friend of Chad and David named Charlotte.
(Charlotte:)”Even when all seems to go to hell you guys will still happily talk like any other day.”
(David:)”I’m not like him, I was actually upset too.”
(Chad:)”The world is fine, we have Brightman, Nightknight and maybe even Hellbitch, it will live” He smiles.
(Charlotte:)”I want to complain about how insensitive you are, but you do calm down everybody else in class with your nonchalant attitude.
Thanks for making even horrible times a little brighter.”
(Chad:)”You’re welcome, I will accept snacks and candy as gratitude.”
David and Charlotte look at the moron in silence, and so does many of the classmates including the teacher.
Evaluating his intelligence and also a little grateful for him making everything seem a little lighter.
(Charlotte:)”Yes, I will pay for your food today.” She smiles feeling calmer.
Chad makes a victory pose before being punched by David… class did not do much on this day.
This day was the normal depressed atmosphere after a world ending disaster, that needed superheroes.
On these days people work slowly trying to bury their worries.
