78 Adventure
Jason woke up to Boops alarm. He sat up groggily muttering under his breathe how much he hated mornings. He looked around his surroundings while giving off a huge yawn. He got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to take a shower, Jason was humming a tune and just enjoying his shower for a few minutes. A scream came from the bathroom a few moments later
"AWW SHOOT, I HAD SCHOOL TODAY DIDN'T I?"
Jason sprinted out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. His hair was still wet and his entire body was still dripping wet. He grabbed his school uniform from the drawer and hurried to put it on. He had the pants on when he heard in his head Boops attempting to muffle his laughter. He stopped and was about to get annoyed at Boops for not telling him to get ready when it hit him. He didn't have School.
Jason wasn't even annoyed at Boops anymore he gave a large grin and pumped his arm in a celebratory movement. Jason's grin only got larger when he realized that he probably wouldn't have to go to school for a long time, maybe even never.
Jason wanted to hug somebody as hard as he could right now. Sadly Boops was intangible so he had to make do with a fluffy pillow on his bed. Boops stopped laughing at Jason's antics and instead a grin covered his face. Jason never saw Boops' face but he could now easily tell what emotion he was feeling from the tone of voice he had. And now Boops was smiling over Jason who was hugging the heck out of a pillow out of sheer joy. Jason's joy really was infectious, he hadn't gone to school in ages yet he felt like he was right next to him smiling with the joy of getting out of school. He laughed again and asked Jason in a commentators voice
'Okay, Jason please tell us, how does it feel to play videogames for a living.'
Jason popped out of his hug and answered Boops with a laugh
"I really never thought of it that way, dang I really am gaming for a living"
"how do you feel right now Jason?"
"ecstatic"
'all right now go in there and do some awesome stuff Jason'
Jason quickly checked on the twins who were snoring their heads off. After that Jason walked to the capsule with a bounce in his step and walked in an energetic way. The capsule opened when he placed his hands on it and lifted up with white mist leaving the capsule. He entered the capsule and closed the lid behind him. He found a good position and closed his eyes.

[welcome Arch]
Jason opened his closed eyes he was currently in the barracks. The blue barracks were orderly everything was labeled. The barracks interior was smooth white walls and square tiles on the floor. Jason walked outside, it was a sunny morning and Jason was ready to do some stuff. Currently, the only thing he had to do was meet Ardem for training, but that was much later in the afternoon. So what should he do, well the obvious answer was to train. But which attribute?
Well, the agility/ wisdom course was always a good idea plus he was going to the strength training center in the afternoon anyway. So having decided, he started walking to the forests. After going through the path into the forest. He arrived at the dark part of the forest that was light up with mana stones and to the ladder that was hidden behind the tree.
Jason climbed up the ladder up the platform. The difference of the dark undergrowth to the platform that was shinning under the right sun and the open sky always made Jason a bit happy when emerging on the platform. Again like before there was a large line of people and many mage students were also lined up thought they were much smaller than the line of trainees.
Jason got in line and waited patiently. The line was long about 30 other trainees from all different barracks were waiting for their turn. Jason stood there quietly but a tug on his sleeve made him turn around. The person who had just tugged his sleeve was the magician girl from Jason's first trial. The girl was shorter then Jason had expected, her head was around Jason's elbow. She was forced to look up at Jason straining her head up just to have eye contact with Jason. Jason could finally see her face since all of the times Jason saw her, her head and face were covered in an oversized magician hood.
"u-um excuse me,"
Jason looked at her, she had brown eyes and blue hair, her brown eyes were quivering like a small animal and she held her wand in the middle of her body like it was a precious item.
"I just wanted to apologize for before"
Jason wondered what she was talking about,
"Ah, are you talking about the giant monster gorilla?"
"y-yes I'm sorry that I made you lose the course"
Jason got a bit confused
"you.. don't need to apologize I beat the course"
The girl's eyes widened in surprise.
"huh? r-really?"
Jason continued with a newfound conviction
"in fact, you should never apologize for beating somebody fair and square, they were weak and you were strong. That's just how life works."
The girl looked at Jason
"b-but people hate me for beating them"
Jason had to think a bit, this girl faced something much more difficult then he had thought. He said to the girl.
"Okay I would tell you to not care about what they say, but I would just be a hypocrite for saying that. So what I do want to say is that you are training your skills to help fight the bad guys right?"
The girl nodded in confirmation
"mhm yes I came here to fight the bad guys"
"Okay then if your stronger then the bad guys, you can beat them right?"
"yes"
"so you shouldn't be scared of your strength since you can beat the bad guys right?"
"hmm, I guess mister is right, if I want to beat the bad guys I need to be strong!"
"Yup, so go out there and become stronger"
The girl smiled and nodded she called out to Jason as she was about to leave
"thank you, mister!"
"don't call me mister, but you're welcome kid"
Jason watched as the girl walked off he thought to himself
'man, since when could I counsel kids like that'
Boops who was quiet the entire time decided to talk
'Jason, I too want to give advice to the younger generation'
"You mean to me?"
'Yup to you, now listen closely I will give you a mantra repeated by millions'
Jason's interest started to grow as Boops continued describing the mantra
'its been passed down from generation to generation. It helped countless people and now I will pass it to you.'
Boops took a deep breath and somehow amplified his voice
'LOLI NO TOUCH'
In the middle of the line, a teenager gave off a yelp and jumped up a few feet in the air. That teenager was Jason and he was trying to hold off the ringing in his head that threatened to make him scream in annoyance. He manage to shake of the headache he got but somewhere in the corner of his head he could still hear a voice softly repeating the words
'loli no touch'
'loli no touch'
Wait, nevermind that was Boops. Jason grit his teeth and promised himself that the moment Boops had a tangible body he would give him a good socking.
The line started moving really fast, suddenly Jason got propelled to the middle of the line. He really didn't care as Boops was still repeating the "mantra" and wouldn't stop. The line the went back to Jason slowly going down the line. Eventually, he reached the platform and he was ready. He looked at the mage who was going to chase after him. Wait where was the mage? Jason watched as the person approached the platform and in his head, he started swearing so much that even Boops stopped chanting.
The girl from before stood on the platform and looked at Jason. She gave a friendly nod and started chanting. Jason looked back at the line, they all avoided eye contact. So that was why he passed the line so quickly. He looked at the magic circle that was being created. Boops yelped out of amazement and started recording the magic circle.
The magic circle started to lower and 4 shadows emerged. Jason thought for a second that it was just four regular monkeys so he sighed in relief and started thinking about what he should do. But hearing the line behind him starting to talk loudly he turned around again.
An old friend stood there with 3 monkey minions and once again Jason's little swearing tangent continued.
