The news of Mike's exploits had spread like wildfire. As he stepped off the bus, he was met with a chorus of praise.
"Wow, Mike! You actually survived the Abyss!"
"Not only that, he killed two level 100 demon creatures!"
"I heard he was picking fights with everyone at summer camp, and he hooked up with a bunch of chicks..."
"..."
Mike rolled his eyes. What a bunch of gossipmongers.
As far as Florida Magic High School was concerned, Mike and Cain, the dynamic duo of weakness, should have been booted from summer camp within a week. They hadn't even expected them to last that long.
Yet, they had vanished into the Abyss and somehow… not returned in body bags.
Due to confidentiality agreements, Florida Magic High School couldn't access Mike's actual summer camp ranking.
However, the Dean had his ways of getting intel.
For example: Mike had single-handedly slain two level 100 demon creatures!
"Make way! Make way!"
