Chapter 106: Back To School
There hadn’t been any changes in the princess since Jason went to bed, and Jason just frowned at that before he reached out to Fenrir. Fenrir told Jason that the agent was still watching the house. The agent left sometime during the night and came back with food and drinks, so Jason was certain that she was going to be watching him for a while.
’It’s starting to get irritating.’
Jason frowned slightly as he considered his options. Jason couldn’t do anything about the agent watching him, but he didn’t like the fact that she was keeping tabs on him like this. Should he just confront her about this and ask her what she wants? No, that wouldn’t work. If he confronts her, then he’d only deal with the problem in the short term. Jason wanted to know who was behind the agent, and to do that he needed to be patient. Jason sighed and pushed off the wall. He couldn’t be impatient. He’d wait and allow the agent to make the first move.
During the celebrations last night, Jason spoke with his mother about whether or not he should drop out of school. Jason told his mother that he didn’t need to go to school anymore since he could make money by working as a superhuman now. But his mother was adamant that she wanted him to finish high school.
Jason could still remember the look on his mother’s face as she spoke to him in a hard tone.
"We had a deal, Jason. You told me you didn’t want to go to college, and I agreed because I know you’re mature enough to make your own choices. But you promised me that you would finish high school at least. I am not budging on my decision."
Mira was in the middle of dishing out Jason’s cake when the topic of high school came up. And Mira could immediately tell that Jason was thinking of dropping out. She knew that Jason could make money by being a superhuman, but that was not the reason why she wanted him to go to school. Mira wanted Jason to have an education, even if he wasn’t going to college. Why would he want to throw everything he had worked for away just because he made some money?
Jason sighed as he saw how angry his mother looked. It was obvious that this was a big deal to her even if he wasn’t really interested in it. If it had been anyone else who spoke to him about going back to school, then Jason wouldn’t have just ignored her. But this was his mother, and he had to take her opinion into consideration no matter what.
"Mum, I’m already making money –"
