Zhinko Village

All five of them got up to Eisen and Blizz and thanked them so much for teaching them how to beat ice-elemental monsters all on their own. "How are you so strong, mister?" One of them asked Eisen.

Eisen knelt down and smiled. "Because I worked hard for my strength. Do not think of strength as something that is only used for beating monsters down and stuff. Real strength is knowing what's the difference between right and wrong." Eisen said as he bid them farewell.

The sun was starting to set. "Nighttime is upon us, Eisen. The monsters will be more ferocious, but I am sure we will be able to handle them. So, where are we going?" Blizz said as he asked his other Gemini half.

Eisen exhaled with focus. "To Sagittarius." He said. Sagittarius was one of the strongest of the Twelve Zodiacs, she has been governing over a small town which was about forty minutes away from where Eisen was.

The two of them walked under the moonlight as they occasionally stopped by to catch their breaths. "Damn, when I was still using the RAH to log into Zodiac Ascension, I never had to worry about my stamina…now that it is connected to my real actual body, I just realized how tiresome it really is." Eisen uttered out as he was gasping for air.

When they finally reached Zhinko Village, it was late at night and the two of them were already hungry. A couple of foot soldiers were patrolling the wooden gates. "Halt! Who goes there!" They asked.

"Err, can you just tell Astrid that Eisen's here." The Gemini said as he put his hands up in the air. "Oh, tell her Blizz is here as well!" Blizz added.

The NPCs who were obviously non-players in real life had gone on to inform the Sagittarius of their arrival. "You know, it is pretty weird for Astrid to spend all her time and efforts in managing a whole town, wouldn't you say so?" Blizz asked Eisen.

"She has always been like that. She always tried to see the good in people, she even helped me back when I was still a newbie player, that is why I tend to be helpful to others as well." Eisen replied.

After a few moments, the foot soldiers went out with another soldier, it looked like he was their Captain or some sort. "What business do you have with our leader?" He asked in a scruffy voice. He was an old man in his mid-sixties. Eisen squinted as he was familiar with who it was.

"Professor Mendez, is that you?" He asked the foot soldier Captain. "E-Eisen Evans?!" The professor recognized him as well. He was no longer in a teaching profession now, however, as he is a non-player who is relegated to being a guard.

Blizz whispered to Eisen. "Hey, you know this old geezer?" He asked. Eisen nodded. "Yeah. I always told him that Randy and the others were bullying me constantly. But he just told me to 'man up' as he tried to ignore my complaints. He is a real piece of trash." Eisen retorted back with fiery rage in his eyes.

"G-Get lost! Zhinko has no need for someone like you! You are a good for nothing weakling who cannot even stand up for himself!" the then professor shouted out.

Eisen was trying to hold back his anger but it had consumed him far too much. "Flame Half: Annihilation." He said as he placed his right hand on top of the professor's head. "You were always a good for nothing teacher."

"H-Hey! He is attacking the Captain!" The other foot soldier screamed out as the hooves a horse was heard in the distance. "Have you forgotten that death in this world results in a real life death as well, Eisen?" It was her. The Sagittarius herself. "Put your hand down or I will be forced to step in and will be your enemy in the process."
