Chapter 26 - Chapter 26 RC

"So, any thoughts on the license? Your learner's permit phase is gonna end soon. Are you excited to get a license?"Phil asked as he began pulling into the home's driveway.

"I would love to get it" Liam said with a sudden boost of energy.

"Alright then," Phil said with a chuckle.

"Oh, and hey, as long as you didn't start that fight yesterday, good job on winning it," Phil said as he fist bumped Liam with a grin.

Heading inside, Liam headed upstairs.

He was tired, but the missions needed to be completed no matter what, or else he would be losing out on free strength.

He would feel less physically exhausted as well.

Heading upstairs he began his workouts steadily approaching 30 stat points all around.

By the end of October, he would be stronger than a peak level human being. Liam couldn't help but feel excited thinking about it.

Thursday came around with the Community night happening, it was a fun event to be at but it ended rather quickly.

(Loki don't wanna keep dragging this event, enough plots have occurred cause of this, it has served its usefulness)

The weekends soon came around and on Saturday.

Phil entered Liam's room.

"Liam today is the day!" Phil said, his voice loud and filled with excitement.

Liam glanced at Phil, he wanted to turn this down so badly, he needed to study, but he couldn't say no to his excited father.

Along with that being a reason, his own body seemed to want to go, so cornered from two sides, Liam had to agree.

And that's how Liam ended up with a plane accidently flying straight onto his face.

This knocked him clean out.

He woke up two hours later with Grandpa Jay by his side and Phil taking a quick power nap on the couch.

"Oh, son, you're awake!" Jay said excitedly.

"What happened?" Liam asked feeling very groggy, his memories seemingly cut off.

The last thing he remembers was seeing an RC Plane controlled by Jay lose steering due to heavy winds.

He squinted as he tried to remember more.

But the best he could come up with was that he remembered the plane's nozzle being pointed towards him.

Shouts before he faded into darkness.

Did I end up getting hit with the RC?... Liam had the possibility Dawn on him

"I am so sorry for what happened," Jay said, sitting on the chair beside Liam's bed.

"The winds went wild out of nowhere and.. and the plane was not responding...and.. uhh--"

"Grandpa, it's fine, accidents happen," Liam said, stopping Jay from continuing to try to make this situation better.

Liam thought that it was Phil who was gonna take the hit so he tried to prevent it.

But.

I guess this time... luck was simply not on my side, Liam thought as he felt a dull pain on his nose.

Liam's vision blurring as he reaches up, fingertips brushing the stiff white plaster.

His eyes glanced over at Jay, who looked away with guilt.

"Grandpa... can I get five hundred bucks and mom never finds out about this?" Liam asked causing Jay to glance at him.

"Claire never finds out? You sure?" He said glancing at the sleeping Phil.

"He won't say anything" Liam reassured.

"Deal" Jay responded straight away as he pulled out his wallet on the spot and handed the money over to Liam who happily took it.

He tried to smile, but too much movement of his facial muscles caused his nose to hurt, so he had to take it with an almost straight face.

As long as he completed his daily mission, Liam had a feeling that he would be just fine.

Gripping the five hundred that would be worth a few billions within a decade and a half, He shoved it in his pocket.

His heart pumped with force, and his body filled with adrenaline.

I have just made the easiest billions of my life, Liam thought as he glanced up at the roof.

"Oh Liam you are awake" Phil said as he sat up.

"Hey dad" Liam replied.

"Oh! I should tell you what happened." Phil suddenly remembered, but Liam interrupted.

"It's fine, Dad, I remember it perfectly," Liam said with his thumbs up.

"Oh, okay, well, Jay, we should be heading home," Phil said as he got up off the couch.

"Yeah, alright, make sure Liam takes those medicines, he has a big test coming up after all. Oh, and Luke is in the outdoors range playing with Manny using some smaller... and less dangerous RC planes," Jay said. Phil simply nodded and headed out.

From his perspective, he should give some time for Liam to get through this with Jay.

Give them a moment to talk about what happened.

Resolve their relationship a little.

Phil was admiring one of the RC planes on display when he heard a door open and saw the two of them walk out.

To his surprise, Jay and Liam walked out with smiles in under 2 minutes

He was confused but didn't ask too many questions.

He accepted that Liam must have made amends with Jay and even felt proud of Liam for his strength to forgive so quickly.

"I have raised him right" Phil murmured to himself as he smiled a little, looking at the Jay and Liam talking like nothing happened.

Phil, gathering Luke and Liam, they soon left the hangar.

On the car ride home, Liam requested that everybody not mention how he actually got the injury.

It was relatively easy to convince them once he said that if Claire knew about this, she wouldn't allow them to come to the hangar and fly RC planes again, so they quickly folded.

Making his way back to his room after arriving home and letting Phil deal with Claire.

Liam hurried to his room

He wanted to test his theory out.

Will he have a full body recovery if he does those missions?

He started off by doing pushups and at the end of them, his body, like magic, started repairing itself.

That included his nose.

Feeling up his nose through the cast, He did not feel even the slightest pain from it.

So he began to remove the cast carefully.

It took a minute but he had gotten it off mostly intact.

His nose was perfectly fine, with no pain or remnants of that injury.

"If used right, this is like giving me three extra lives every day," Liam said with a smile, planning on completely abusing this system's ability to heal the entire body.
