"Okay, family. Now, I'm sure everyone wants to know what the good news is."
Rita was the first to speak. "Is it related to Sam? Did she propose to you?"
"What? No! Mom, please," which made Luna blush.
"Okay, tell us. What's the big news?"
"The producer became interested in my band. Yesterday we went to record at his studio, and he loved it. We'll be opening for Mick Swagger's next concert."
The family was silent for a moment, then they let out a scream of joy.
"I knew you could do it."
"Your chances of success were always 100 percent."
"I hope one of your songs is included in the next Guitar Hero."
"Okay. That's the good part."
"The good part? You mean there's a bad part?" asked Mr. Loud.
"You're right, you see. The recording studio is here in Royal Woods. So... I'll have to drop out of college."
"What!?" screamed Messrs. Loud, surprised at the news.
Even Lori, who, despite being depressed, was shocked, asked, "How do you drop out of college?"
"Of course you would do no such thing, miss."
"Mom, university was never for me. I was just going to gain some reputation. In fact, thanks to the influencer who studies there, this producer went to our party last night."
"Darling, tell her something." Rita asked her husband to make Luna see why.
"Listen, daughter. I know your dream is to be a rock star. But don't you think it would be better to get a college degree? Just in case you doubt it..."
"What? What do you mean by that? Do you think I'll fail?"
"Of course not. But we care about your future."
The atmosphere was tense. All the voices remained silent until Lincoln broke the silence and said, "I agree with Luna."
The family turned to see Lincoln.
"What do you mean, do you agree?" Lynn asked.
"But I agree with my mom and dad too. I give you this."
"Give Luna a year. Just one year. If she is successful in her career, she will move forward."
"But if she fails, she will resume her studies."
The Loud parents looked at each other, then looked at Luna. She smiled with a determined look.
"Very well. You will only have one year! That's all."
"Yes. Thanks!!!" Luna hugs her parents and then Lincoln. She gave the latter a kiss on the cheek. Stirring jealousy in Lynn and Lucy.
-the next day-
Lincoln was in his grandparents' backyard with his five younger sisters. In front of him were three stacked stones.
The boy focused as he prepared.
Suddenly, he raises his hand and does karate, smashing all three blocks.
The girls clapped.
"That was great, Lincoln."
"Yes. You look like Jin Kazama."
"Your physical abilities are truly amazing."
"Poor miserable soul who dares to challenge you."
"You can go to the dojo I go to. Maybe you can even beat Sensei."
Lola recorded the Lincoln demonstration and uploaded it to the Internet. But she wasn't the only one. Since a couple of albinos passed by and photographed it too,
But Lincoln only had one thing on his mind. Victory in the confrontation he was going to have that day.
The albino finished his training session with a little meditation, placing himself in the lotus position.
Suddenly, he was sitting on his volcanic throne, surrounded by a pack of wolves. Their backs were towards him, looking towards the forest.
The boy cast his gaze in the direction in which the wolves were looking. Several gray wolves emerged from the trees. The wolves ran at each other, causing Lincoln to wake up.
"What the hell? It must be nerves," Lincoln wonders as he walks into the house, heading to the kitchen.
After drinking some juice, he sat on the sofa and read one of his books to distract himself before his fight. The book was recommended by an old-school friend in Canada. The blush on Lincoln's cheeks said that this was not an appropriate read for all ages.
In the meantime, at Loud's house,
Lisa was reviewing some files on her computer when she received a video call from Venom.
"Good morning, Dr. Loud."
"Good morning, Professor. Why are you calling?"
"I have made great progress with the blood test."
"Awesome. What did you find out?"
"As we said before, empowerment is a selective substance. With the addition of the new genome, its healing properties are one hundred percent active."
"Does this mean what I think it means?"
"That's how it is. Now we can restore your brother's sight."
"Nice. When do you think we can get the blood transfusion?"
"Well. More than just a blood transfusion, it would be something similar to dialysis. And so on. We can do that tomorrow."
"Great. I will break the news to my family. Thank you very much, Professor."
The call ended, and Lisa jumped for joy.
"Finally, after years, I will be able to regain my brother's sight. Finally, I will be able to correct my mistake."
Already in the afternoon.
bid farewell to the sun and bid farewell to the horizon with its rays for the last time. Gray clouds covered the sky, bringing with them lightning, thunder, and rain.
In a nearby forest, a fight was taking place.
Lincoln's opponent was a muscular man in military clothing. He had a tattoo on his shoulder, indicating that he was part of the Army Special Forces. He was wearing camouflage military pants.
His employer says to him before the fight begins, "Be careful, Will. This kid is not normal. His fighting style is a mixture of judo and boxing. Despite the fact that he is blind, he is undefeated in eight fights. He even killed one of his opponents."
"Don't worry, sir. I'm not like those useless people."
Meanwhile, Lincoln had a talk with his employer.
