Zuri looked through and found one. They were Frank Drifener.
Steve looked closely at them and said “All good!”
The council nodded and said “Okay, you will have the monthly plan. They have you do PvP for 49 years”
“Got it”
Steve said “Great job Zuri!”
The council said “Okay, we’ll make an appointment in a month for her. Show up at noon.”
Zuri said “But, that’s Alex’s birthday!”
Steve said “Aww. Thanks for reminding me!”
“You’re welcome!”
The council said “Fine, in two weeks?”
Steve said “Nope! That’s Noor’s birthday”
“Three weeks?”
“Efe’s birthday”
“Next week?”
“My birthday”
“Four weeks?”
“That will work.”
Zuri said “Yeah!”
Steve said “Where will we go?”
“The council building”
“Got it.” and the council left.
Steve called Alex and said “Four weeks at noon we have to be at the council building to see if Zuri qualifies fir the PvP agent she wants.”
Alex said “What?! We don’t have the money to pay for that!”
Steve said “Oh. Well… when are you expected to be home?”
“Oh. A couple days”
“Good because I can’t take another day of caring for these kids myself!” and hung up.
Steve picked up the kids and brought them home. On the way home, Makenna said “Steve, I don’t want to do PvP class anymore! Class submissions are due tomorrow night.”
Steve sighed and said “Alex told me to let you not take PvP. I’ll listen to her about it. I want you to love me like you do with Alex.”
Sunny said “Steve, I have a matter of urgency I have to tell you in private.”
“I’ll discuss it with you at home.”
Then they arrived home.’
Sunny said “We’re here! Can I tell you now?”
“One minute. I just have to set up a show for everyone else to watch.”
Steve set up a show for the rest of the kids and went to his room with Sunny.
Sunny said “Steve, at school I have a huge problem with a bully. They beat me with an iron sword every day and whenever I tell on him, the teacher just says something like ‘try and be nice to him’ or ‘he’s just training to be a legend.’ Can you help me stop it?”
Steve nodded and said “I don’t see why you needed to tell me this in secret.”
“I am worried my siblings will laugh at me!”
“Oh. I’ll see what I can do. How about this? I go to school with you the day after Alex gets back and observe how he attacks you to see if it’s really legend training.”
“Thanks! Also, I really hate my PvP teacher. Look at the score she gave me on this quiz!” and handed Steve a paper.
Steve nodded and said “You actually got the score she gave you.”
“Oh”
