Jay opened another notification as he casually strolled to the adventurer association.

It was a pleasant, sunny morning outside so Jay was simply taking in the view as he began walking up the hill.

The coldness of winter had mostly gone, and it seemed like the forest was coming back to life again as it woke up from its winter slumber.

Not many days left to hunt those glade deer he thought as he gazed at the evergreens.

Well unless youre me anyway. he grinned.

The glade deers, which had infra-red vision, would not be able to see his skeletons coming since they didnt give off any body heat - in fact, most of the forest creatures never saw Jays skeletons coming, only realising they were there after a skeletal knife-hand was already implanted into their throats with precision; this rogue medical operation was a success nearly every time.

Most of the time, they couldnt even warn other animals as the only sounds they made were covered up by a gargling red froth.

Jays face turned sour as he soon came to a stop at the edge of the road, noticing the place where he slid down the side of the hill on that fateful day - and then remembering everything that went along with it.

Bastard little smirking prick he thought as he remembered when Matheson passed by in the carriage; Jay was still wanting revenge.

The anger had died down a little in Jays heart by now, so he couldnt be bothered to go out and actually seek revenge - but he would probably still take it if given the opportunity; unfortunately, the more he thought about it, the more he wanted it.

The thought of revenge was like a fire being kindled, it would only want more and more fuel as it blazed wildly - eventually consuming its maker.

Jay had a bitter expression as he continued walking, and for quite some time too; it was like the pleasant, sunny day around him no longer existed.

Thankfully it passed, and soon enough he snapped out of it.

At least I have started to enjoy dungeons they couldnt take that from me. he nodded with a small half-smile.

And Im basically the strongest novice adventurer in Losla, maybe I should be thanking the smug prick he chuckled.

Jay entered the floating mana-stone gate with a gentle smile, satisfied with how far he had come as he looked for Anya.

Of course, other adventurers immediately started chatting as soon as they saw the local celebrity.

Hey, its him. Looks like he slept in? one adventurer said off to the side.

Nah, he probably just got back from a dungeon. Most people his level start slaying before the sun even comes up...

Yikes I barely even get up before lunch time, heh he shrugged.

Jay ignored their chatter as he went past, heading towards the association - though he didnt walk too far before he noticed Anya, shooting targets at the archery range.

Jay had a sly smile as he tried to sneak up on her. Other adventurers eyes bulged as they saw this - who tries to sneak up on the guild masters daughter?

Many gave disapproving looks as they watched him, shaking their fingers and their heads - but none said anything.

Jay was getting closer and closer, taking a deep breath as he prepared to screech at her - similar to how the dihexapede squealed.

Closer closer Jay thought, his mischievous smile getting bigger and bigger.

Until finally he was ready to pounce

Hi, Jay. Anya said casually.

She didnt even turn around as she released another bolt, hitting a moving target like it was nothing.

Jay immediately stopped crouching, and scratched his head with a slight daze of wonder.

Hi. Ready to go?

Anya turned to Jay with a knowing smile, and was now reloading her crossbow.

Arent you gonna talk to Viladore? she put a bolt in before picking up her crossbow.

Oh yeah Uh, just give me a sec. He didnt say it was training so it will probably be quick. he shrugged.

Jay quickly headed into the association and greeted Margaret with a smile.

Good morning, he smiled.

Morning dear, how can I help? she returned his smile.

Viladore wanted to see me.

Sure, take a seat honey. She went into the room behind her with a wave.

Thanks.

It didnt take long till she came back out again.

He wont be lon- she looked down the hallway as she heard some steps, Oh, here he is now.

That was quick she glanced at Viladore as he arrived.

Oh. Yes. Viladore shrugged, Good morning Jay, come with me.

Sure, and good morning. Jay hopped up.

Viladore quickly led Jay to his office, opening the door for him with a smile as he quickly ushered him in. It seemed that he was in a hurry.

Please, take a seat, he pointed to an empty seat in front of his desk.

Jay nodded and sat down.

Viladore seems to really be in a rush today he thought, trying to hide his concern with a good-enough poker face.

Viladore darted around Jay and sat behind his desk, opening his drawer and staring at something for a moment before closing it again.

So, Jay I have some good news - great news even. An opportunity he grinned with the toothy smile of an old wizard.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

Oh? Jay tilted his head.

I have decided to take you under my wing as my star pupil. Isnt that great? Ive arranged a room for you here at the guild, and Ill be able to give you lessons whenever you would like them. he smiled, as he put his elbows on his desk and interlaced his fingers.

Oh Jay was still wearing his poker face, not showing any emotion at all.

Viladore lightly exhaled, wondering why Jay wasnt praising his name right now. Jay really didnt react how Viladore thought he would.

Well, I guess staying here wont be so bad. Is the room free? Jay questioned.

Viladore had to stop his eyes from bulging at Jay, why wasnt Jay jumping at the opportunity? Many would perhaps even kill for this.

Its 30 gold per night. Viladore said as his fingers seemed to tighten on his hands.

Ah, well, Jay leaned back in the chair, Its too bad he pursed his lips. Jay really was going to reject the offer - why would he stay there when he could sleep at home for free?

Viladore quickly added as a cold sweat came across him, B- but for you its free, obviously! he laughed - perhaps a little too loudly.

Hmm, well ok then but dont force me to have lessons, I have lots of things to do. Jay shrugged.

What the fuck... what the absolute fuck... Viladore thought, but continued to smile. Jay was the first adventurer to treat Viladore like a disposable object; he didnt know how to feel.

After a slight pause, Viladore was ready to speak again.

Sure, he said with a shit-eating grin, just speak to Margaret and shell bring you to your room.

Awesome. Thanks. Jay got up with a smile, Getting to dungeons near here will be way quicker now.

Youre not supposed to. Never mind. Viladore shook his head, Welcome. he nodded while pursing his lips, and politely gestured for Jay to leave.

Viladore was oddly clenching his jaw, but Jay didnt put too much thought into it as he left.

What the fuck I wonder if he was hit on the head as a child? Dammit now I have to pay for two rooms. Viladore wore a defeated smile across his face as he opened his drawer once more, staring at his growing black cube.
