Chapter 2—Kadic High
Class had started and the students were alert and eager to learn about seismology today. Jeremie noticed that things in Lyoko had been eerily quiet for months now and wondered if XANA had gone back to his grotto to recharge from the last battle they and their allies Tapwater had fought against him. It was a war on equal footing. Their foe had been formidable, but in the end, Tapwater had given them the upper hand. He wondered if they were well and how Angela and her buddies were faring. It had been a long time since he had heard from his American friends. Their French had since improved during their last communique. It was impressive to see how well they converse with them now. Bored in class (as was his purview), Jeremie sent an email to Angela, hoping she'd respond to it. He waited, pensively, hoping that his science teacher wouldn't find him out. He had never had any technological device confiscated from him before. Fortunately, this teacher was a bit of a ditz and absentminded, so he and his friends could get away with almost anything and not face any repercussions.
The class was, as an example, learning about the Mid-Atlantic earthquake that occurred in the year 2011, which was an unprecedented and unusual 5.8 magnitude earthquake on the East Coast of the United States. Fortunately, no extensive damage was reported in the quake.
