ORIGIN OF GILLBOARD PART 2: HOW HE CAME TO HATE MATH

High school was a very difficult time for Gillboard. He's never good with numbers. Most of the subjects he had dealt with the devil's creation. He never found any good use for it. The only time he appreciated it was with his previous job where he'd use imaginary numbers as amounts his customers will save if they buy what he was selling.

His distaste for numbers started when he was still in the second grade. He was a top ten student during his first grade, but sort of bumbled during his second. He was too much into playing trading cards (those Marvel superhero ones). One day he came home with the results of his Math test and showed it to his mum.

12/50. That was his grade for the addition test. His mum got so furious that she burned all of his trading cards. The same cards that he won from all his neighbors and classmates. He had like "4 na dangkal" of those cards turned into ash. From that moment on he swore Math out of his life...

And so the dark times of his life begun...

To be continued...
