Chapter 299
Knocking to my door woke me up. I was feeling a lot better than yesterday.
- It's me, Will!
- Come in - I mumbled, and rolled out of the bed, to catch myself in the last moment, and land on my feet.
- Training acrobatics? - he asked as he entered with a smirk on his face. - You should open a circus.
In the dim light I noticed a piece of paper, and a piece of charcoal in his hands. I immediately knew that he wants to tell me something, but is afraid of Xuvi listening.
- I definitely will do that. You will be the main attraction.
- Why so offensive so early in the morning? Did you land on your left foot or something?
- No. I landed perfectly fine. What brings you here?
I finally stood up and straightened my clothes a bit.
- Not much. Just wanted to report that we came back. Everything went well.
He came to the windows and opened the shutters, so more light would come in, then went closer to the table and started writing something on the paper.
- That's good. I've been talking with Boris about the bear boss. Maybe I should take a stab at him, so we would know how strong that thing is.
- Oh, yeah. I also talked with him about that yesterday. It's a good idea - he said, for a moment looking over his shoulder at me.
Then he presented me with a piece of paper with some words written on it. "I talked with Hatta. When do you want us to meet with that thing?"
"It's Ki'rai, not a thing, and right now she is not in the city, but as soon as she comes back I think you all should meet", I replied with the void essence in the air.
He immediately went back to writing.
- I need to go there first to drop the anchor, but to tell you the truth, I'm too lazy to do that - I chuckled. - This skill made me really lazy. It is so convenient to just jump to the hunting grounds.
- Oh, I bet - he replied and showed me the paper.
"Fine, Ki'rai. When will she come back?"
"I don't know. Probably very soon. Maybe even today. I'll let you guys know."
He turned around to write me an answer. It had to be kinda annoying when I could use my skill and not do all the writing he was forced to.
"We were supposed to stay for a couple of days anyway. I hope it will happen soon though. By the way, why do you want us to meet?"
"I think she is on our side. She informed me that her masters are spying on me. I think they don't treat her well, and she would prefer to live among us", I replied.
He sighed and started writing again.
- You should get the skill for yourselves. It's really convenient.
"Then why don't she stay? It's not like they will be able to force her to return. Fuck them. They have The Great One on their ass, we don't."
"I'm not sure. Meaby they have something to make sure she won't betray them completely, or maybe she has some sense of duty. I don't know."
"Or maybe she is lying. Have you considered that?", he quickly wrote.
- I'm considering a different option. The summoning stuff you did. I want to get myself a horse. White horse.
I snorted.
"Yeah, I did. I believe she is genuine. I can't explain it, but I truly think she wants to live here, among us", I replied.
"Ok, but I'll check her for myself."
"Sure."
- You and a horse? Poor thing is going to run away as soon as it sees you.
- No. It's going to be a she, and she will fall in love with me, because I'm a gorgeous man, and I will feed her only yummy stuff.
- Ekhem, ekhem, like Vesa? - I coughed theatrically.
- Fuck you.
- You wish, you horny bastard.
- I'm going to the pub to have a beer. How about you join me, and we get some more people? I should be empty at this hour.
- Is this your plan to get me drunk, so you can then pull me to your bed?
- Yep. That's exactly it. Wow, how did you see it through?
- That's because I'm a very smart person, Will.

Together we left, bickering further and talking nonsense. We hovered around the city collecting our friends. We grabbed Nill and Boris, but Nobuo was too busy teaching his students. Hatta had his paperwork and Amit had to help him with it.
We caught Hailwic with Martin in her room. The sound coming from the insides prevented me from knocking, altho Will really wanted to just bust in. I had to choke him out of that idea.
Overall the day was really fun. We drunk and ate, talking about more nonsense, telling each other funny stories. Just simply enjoying ourselves. At some point both Hatta and Amit joined us, then Hailwic and Martin showed up, so it became an even more cheerful evening, as Will couldn't stop himself from joking about them.
At some point, Hailwic almost beat him up, but we stopped them from starting a brawl. Martin was just laughing, as he didn't take seriously any of Will's words.
We finished up late at night. As sober as we started this endeavor, alto way happier. We cracked some jokes to the very moment of going our separate ways.
Ki'rai didn't return, which was somewhat expected. Still, I was getting a bit worried. It's hard to explain why, as I didn't suspect Xuvi of having any information about what she told me. There was a chance, though, but I felt like she knew what she was doing.
I want to take a bath in the middle of the night, and after, finally, to sleep.
The day came to an end with 4 500 720 points remaining on my account, and thirty-one class points.
