Chapter 349 - Day MCCCLXXII

I was woken up by knocking on my door.

- FBI open up!

- Shut up Will!

He ignored my words and just walked inside.

- Come on, Peter! We are late...

I sighed and crawled out of my bed.

- I need to wash and eat first.

- I know, just go...

I left and went straight to the bathhouse, then to the cafeteria, where he rejoined me by the table. I was stuffing my face with come curry rice. 

- Why didn't Ki'rai woke me up? - I asked, as the thought was bugging me.

- She decided to go hunt in the easier places for now. She needs some class points, besides she wants the 'Shadow walker'.

I nodded, and restarted the shoving process, as we were pretty late already.

- By the way, did you know that Hatta is opening an academy? They will even have an archery branch.

- Cool.

- Remember the granny? It was her idea, and I have to tell you, she can be really annoying when she wants. She visited Hatta every day to make it happen, and she even got the position of instructor. Did you know that?

- I barely know when my room in the barracks is. Why are you even telling me this?

- Well... Hatta wants me to be in charge of the whole thing.

- But you are not even part of Wuxia.

- It's not for Wuxia. It's for everybody. New people need something, and we can't every time hold their hands and walk them through every single step.

- Yeah. I know. So you are taking the position? I'm not gonna lie, it would look good on your knight in shining armor resume.

- Yeah, I know.

- You need armor first, though.

- Yea, I know. I've been thinking about LEDs underneath to make it change color - he remained stone-cold while saying that.

I tried my best, even shook my head a few times, but I couldn't stop the smile.

- Got you.

- Ok, but seriously, you need armor.

- And a horse. I need a horse. Will you be my horse peter?

- Fuck no.

- Come on. I'll treat you well. I'll feed you grass and everything.

- How about I feed you TO fish? 

- There is no fish around.

- Then how about spiders?

- Uh... - he shivered with only a thought of spiders. - I hate spiders.

- Me too, but I had to fight them to get my crystals.

- What class did you get from the boss?

- What makes you think that I killed the boss?

- Seriously? There is no way you wouldn't, and that brings me to the question. What other classes did you unlock?

I sighed.

- Lately 'Paragon' from the giant boss, and previously 'Vermancer' from the spiders and 'Friend of the forest' from the overgrown forest. The rest you know about.

- What about the ogre cave? I know you've been going there.

- Oh, yes. That's 'Ice elementalist'.

- Hm... How hard was it to kill that giants' boss?

I couldn't help but smile again.

- Forget it, Will. He is going to smash you.

- How about little help then?

- It will take us a whole day to do it.

- So... Are you free tomorrow?

I snorted.

- You really want to do it?

- Yep. I'll be a paragon of humankind, in shining armor - he added after a second.

- Fine, but you will be my spawning minion for a week.

- How about a day?

- How about fuck you?

- Maybe later, Peter. Now we are talking business - he winked at me.

- Week is my final offer.

- Oh come one. I have a wife and kids.

- A kid, and they both are in a different world, so fuck you. A week or a month? Choose wisely.

He sighed.

- Fine...

- And don't think that I didn't see that subtle reminder. I'm working on it.

- Yeah. I know. Finish your food...

After those words, he left me. I finally ate in peace and joined my friends at the city center.

- You are late, Peter-san said Nobuo.

- I do realize that. A man oversleeps one day, and suddenly everybody is after his ass. Can you give me a break guys? I've barely slept for half a year now.

- Then maybe go to bed earlier? - asked Boris, raising his eyebrows.

- Thanks for the lecture, dad.

- When did we got married? - he asked Will looking at him surprised.

Will just wiggled his eyebrows at him suggestively.

- I think I'm gonna puke - Hailwic said to that.

- Ok, everybody! Enough jokes. It's time to work - said Martin, with his regular big smile.

- You should run for president - said Will.

- Or at least for toothpaste commercial - Nil joined him.

I just shadow walked them to the canyon, so they would stop this.

- I have an announcement guys! - said Will, as soon as we landed. - I'm gonna work some with Peter from tomorrow and onwards, but today I'm still all yours.

- There is no need to be so generous. We don't deserve it. You can go - said Hailwic in response.

- Oh come on Hailwic. Don't be like that. We all know you love me... A little.

She shook her head.

- A tiny, tiny bit? - Will showed his hand with thumb and index finger very close to each other.

- Ok. Maybe a tiny bit - she agreed.

I just shook my head and left them. I had some giants, and other monsters to kill. Although I couldn't spawn myself any bosses, I still could earn some points.

I cleared all four spots with few breaks to help my friends move between their spots, and stab the few bosses they would spawn for me. I also did a quick pitstop at the bear cave. I finished up late, although not as late as I usually did. I earned 47 356 000 points and 3 class ones.

I ended with a bath and a bowl of steaming stew, before finally coming to bed. I was excited to hunt again with Will, but also very tired, so the moment I closed my eyes, I also drifted away.

The day came to an end with 1 744 672 909 points remaining on my account, and 84 class points.
