After getting as much informations as possible without getting haruto suspicious, the group disperse after they ate their dinner.
Sizuin had a pleasent sleep and met up with the warrior group the next day. Today they would strengthen their bodies while practicing with weapons, Most of them still had their meek personality so it was mainly to sharpen their minds. They hadn't seen people being killed let alone killing other people.
This continued for a week. In the beginning, Sizuin's classmate stayed a distance away from him. Then during the middle part, they felt the pressure of being next to one of the people in the most popular group started to disappear. During the later part, many would talk and interact with sizuin; increasing his annoyance.
It wasn't because he didn't like being around people but because he was around ignorant and naive people, the people who hadn't experience true pain and suffured alone.
It felt like a common student being talked to by 10 spoiled rich teens at the same time, complaining things like 'my iphone X plus just broke but my dad bought me 5 new ones, i already told him to get samsung branded phones. Unbeliveable'
His room had also became a gathering spot for the special classed group, further decreasing his relaxing time and increasing his annoyance. Luckily, Nothing too bad happened like the princess visiting him.
...Spoke too soon...
During the next week, the princess had started to meet with him after his warrior training. She said that she was intrigued by his hair and eye colors since they were not normal for the chosen ones. Now, Sizuin had to act like a boy who was sprouting a love seed.
*sigh* 'my acting has truly become a part of me now'
Sizuin could see through the princess easily since he was originally a skilled actor and his Ranked B WIS. It helped him calculate what others would think faster so his acting got an improvement. Not that he needed an improved act anyway.
He could also hear and see better so getting informations was even easier now, he could hear someone whispering about a hundred meters away and see a person clearly several kilometers away.
Eventually the princess started to get closer with Sizuin's character and she got a chance to talk with the special classed group now. Sizuin had already guessed the reason early on.
Now the group were inside Sizuin's room eating dinner. The princess wasn't here this time.
"Ah geez, Sizuin-kun met Aurora-chan and talks lesser to us now."
"i talk lesser since you all just barge in my room when i wanted to sleep"
"Now now Sizuin-kun, we aren't barging in, it's called getting to know each other"
"Thats right Sora-kun! we are bonding with each other right now"
"What getting to know each other? you can get to know each other at your room! i need my beauty sleep too."
Riku and Airi laughed at the banter while Kanako and Sora smiled.
"Hey haruto you thinking about something?"
Haruto had a toughtful expression so Sizuin asked.
Haruto put his index finger on his mouth as a reply. He then looked around and sigh in relief. He then takes a paper and ink, he wrote.
"Somethings wrong with this whole summoned thing. The princess was a little weird but i ignored it the first time i noticed. After we interacted more, i relized that she's hiding something. There might be someone spying on us so i wrote this down, you guys talk nornally while we write things down ok?"
The group nodded and talked about random things while they wrote down questions, Haruto was known for his detective like skills so they trusted him over a newly known girl.
The questions were basic things like 'What did you noticed?' and 'what should we do?'.
They talked about things Sizuin had already figured out so he acted like he was thinking and contributed ideas from time to time. Eventually they came up with the idea to discuss these kinds of things between themselfs since the more people know, the more the Emperor and his men would too.
They decided to continue acting like they knew nothing much. They might not show it, especially Airi and Riku, but they were pretty good at keeping a poker face. Living in the 21st century had indirect benefits like knowing how to scam people on games for Riku and Sora, companies have good poker faces for Airi and Kanako, tips on how to find out more about people in just their body language for Haruto. Sora had also learn some things from being close to Haruto.
Theres no need to mention Sizuin, He's already the best actor.
After sharing all of his observation, Haruto and the rest went back to his room.
'It took him long enough, maybe the Empire was a little too advanced for Haruto right now. It would take him a few months to figure out the whole truth of the empire.'
Thats right, Sizuin had already figured out the Empire's in and out. He gathered information from asking basic questions to Arthur and collecting informations from his insiders that still didn't know their role.
Now he just needs a opportunity to fake his death and whatnot then escape to a kingdom near the Demons, his priority was to get insanely strong real quick so this farming place was ideal.
He decided to change his identity and looks after his fake death and join the adventurous guild since their rules were quite loose. This would help with his credibility since having someone show up all of a sudden is very supicious.
Now, he sleeps.
_/_/_/_/
A few days later, the whole class had gathered. They are about to battle against a Dungeon, it was basicly the dungeons in games. Arthur had told them that a dungeon functions like a ant colonie, the dungeon core controls every monsters that is inside the dungeon.
The dungeon cores could spawn monsters in depending on its grade, they would be fighting a low leveled dungeon this time so the monsters would only have a max level of 75. It's grade would also be at [Rare] at most.
The monster grades are;
- [Common] 10 stat points per lvl
- [Rare] 15 SP per lvl
- [Epic] 20 SP per lvl
- [King] 25 SP per lvl
- [Emperor] 30 SP per lvl
The demon king is a [Emperor] grade monster since basicly every race veiwed them as monsters.
When they reach the dungeon, Arthur who was the group leader said
"Remember that we are only going to clear monsters until the 10th floor okay? This is for your training so try not to go in to deep"
The dungeon was a total of 30 floor deep so the monsters on the 10th floor were relatively weak, they could still kill everyone in the class though.
Arthur and Zeek was taking care of the class so their death possibility was very low. Arthur made sure to oversee everyone and rescue anyone who were about to get heavily injured while zeek had instructed the magicians to practice healing and spells.
It was quite hectic at first but under Arthur and Zeek leadership, the class got together and acted like rookies instead of just radomly swinging their swords, firing arrows and magic spells. They continued untill the 8th floor where they rested and cleaned their clothes of blood, many people had grim faces while some felt ill.
They had just killed living beings, they saw the once alive and moving bodies dropping to the ground and grow stiff and cold. They saw intestines and organs being crushed and escaping their bodies out into the open. They smelt the putrid smell of the raw and rotting flesh. If it wasn't for Zeek's calming magic, 90% of the class would have fainted. They relized that this was real life, the bodies of monsters wouldn't dissipate, they wouldn't respawn, they lose everything once they died.
After this, they would surely become soilders. Zeek had already experienced a much more brutal death which he caused but seeing different kinds of death in one place disturbed him a little.
Something in him however, enjoyed killing the monsters. It enjoyed the sensation of cutting flesh, tendoms and organs. It made his blood boil. He would have to get used to this change and lessen it abit.
'Am i becoming a battle maniac?'
Sizuin hoped that he wouldn't act like an idiotic battle maniac that let his enemy get stronger like a certain Z fighter.
The class walked silently as no one was in the mood to talk. Arthur kept on trying to raise their spirits by saying things like 'if we didn't kill them then they would have killed us' and it worked abit as the class looked less pale.
Soon they reached the entrance of the 10th floor, they continued to kill the level 23 monsters until they reached a giant double sided door like the Emperor's throne room entrance. This entrance was darker and emited an evil aura though.
"This is the mini boss room, every 10 floors has a mini boss and this one is a level 25 mini boss. This will be the last monster we face until we can go back to the palace, alright? i don't know about you guys but i'm craving for some steak right now so lets hurry up!"
After bringing up the groups's morale, Arthur went inside with zeek and the class following.
Inside was a 5 meters tall minotaur with a giant wooden club. The wood however, was tougher than some metals
"This is a level 25 Red minotar, it's grade is [Rare] and it's rank is F so be carefull. Me and Zeek with help you out if theres danger"
*ROOAARR*
And so, the fight between an average level of 18 class Vs a level 25 mini boss started
Next chapter is about how Sizuin is gonna escape so stay tune for it,
*hint*
A WILD POKEMON APPEARED! ITS A ....
-
I just read back the chapter and when i wrote the part
"something inside him enjoyed the sensation of killing" something like that,
i unintentionally hinted at his bloodline... i wanted to write about his ruthless personality but made his bloodline the focus point... i like it so im gonna stick with it.
Be like me, getting something good passively.
