That settled it for me. Old Kipler seemed like the guy to be around. I could slowly but surely rise up the ranks of the criminal underbelly of the city and make some good money. He then left. I used the dirty money to help pay for my motel room. I was now settled into Kapik City. I reached out to Aiden and The Bros. They were all around my age. I asked where they went to school. It turned out that there were 5 high schools in the city, but only 3 of them were a really big deal. One was a private school for the elite. I was not surprised that none of them went there. That one was called Exalted Gardener Academy. St. Shebrine was the name of the religious school. It was a place for the misfits and outcasts in society. It was all on the hush, but a good number of the student body were layers. Aiden was a junior. The third prominent school was simply named Kapik High. That was where all of the toughest delinquents seemed to be funneled to with the poorest residents if they could not get in anywhere else in the city. The Bros were sophomores in the school. I was a junior in the real world too.

It looked like I was going to have to enroll in Kapik High School. I was not religious enough for the school and I certainly was not part of the elite just yet. I only started up the game. I could enroll myself using my phone. The next day, I was out on the streets, ready to find the man. Like he said, I was going to have to find Chelsea at the gym. She apparently knew where to find the man. I wondered what their actual relationship truly was. I walked down to their gym and looked around the area for a bit. He would hopefully give me some good jobs with some better pay. It seemed that there were only some members of the staff. I was there early. Chelsea just looked at me and rolled her eyes in disgust. "What the hell do you want!?" she snapped at me. I did not care one bit. I turned to fully face her at the front desk. It was clear she was not a fan of me. I guessed she was going to be a thorn in my side. I smiled and said "Old Kipler said that I have to come to you if I want to know where he is." Scowling, she gave me directions to where he would be. I thanked her and began to leave the gym.

As I was reaching for the door, it swung open as five delinquents came in. They shoved me out of the way. "Watch it, pipsqueak!" one of them said. I looked at them and sighed. I was just beginning this game. There was not a chance in hell that I could take all five of them at once. I took a step to get around them, but one of the guys just stood in my way. He was a red head. "Where is our apology, loser!?" he said. "Yeah! We're fucking waiting. We want our sorry." one of the blonds added. I was not going to take shit from an NPC. No way. I looked them all over and said "This is a doorway. Why the fuck do I have to say sorry about using it?" They were all pissed off at me, but I was not changing my mind. Since we were still in the doorway glaring at each other, other people could not get in or out. Chelsea had to intervene. "If you're in, you're in. If you're out, get the fuck out the way already." she yelled at us from the front desk area. All five of the delinquents flinched. I was finally going to move, but the black haired guy grabbed me. "C'mon. We need a sparring partner." he said. I was stuck.
