Chapter 150: Ch-150 Lighthearted Fun
Present time.
William smiled remembering the night he had made the hard decision to reveal his identity to the cleansers.
He still laughed sometimes thinking about how much he had over overthinked before revealing and the reaction he ultimately got.
Well it was all in the past now and didn't really matter.
Today Jasmine was supposed to come back to Markwhelter after getting her mother treated.
Mark and Raya were already waiting for her at the place they had chosen to reunite.
They had even missed his promotion exam for it saying how they already knew he was gonna easily pass.
And they were right, he had rushed the exam and promotion as fast as possible for this reunion.
He didn't know why yet but he had come to enjoy the company of Jasmine and even missed her a little in her absence.
Without the ever enthusiastic and naive young girl the team just seemed incomplete.
Over the past 2 months a bunch of people had tried to join their team, thanks to the increasing popularity and fame of their party.
And even more of William or rather Edge Lord himself.
William had always expected his Edge Lord persona to gain some attention , due to his refusal to hide his strength.
But, he could have never predicted the sheer scale of this fame.
As by this point Edge Lord was a name that was known by pretty much any half competent adventurer outside Markwhelter.
And he was sure this fame was only going to increase even more in the future, due to him becoming a S rank adventurer.
While that in itself wasn't that special as there were thousands of S rank adventurers in the whole human continent, the speed at which he had achieved this feat definitely was.
After all he had just broken Rex's seemingly unbeatable record and not just break but crush it by halving it.
But, all of this was irrelevant after all William had finally arrived at the location they had decided to reunite in.
A giant billboard was revealed outside the establishment.
And it read [Brothers Tavern]
The tavern had the classic wooden exterior that one might expect in the taverns like this and had a sort of welcoming aura around it.
Once William entered he was greeted by a strong but welcoming aroma of alchohol.
'Ah I really missed this'
Thanks to how tough his last life was he had developed a deep love and appreciation for alchohol.
It was by no means an addiction and he could go without it for months and years if he wanted.
But, when he wanted to drink he wanted the highest quality possible.
He hadn't gotten the chance to drink any alchohol so far in his second life due to his young age.
But,not anymore, today was the day he finally ended his liquor virginity.
The tavern was mostly empty today aside for 3 people, a bar tender and few staff members.
This was obviously because William had booked the whole place for himself and his friends.
Usually such a place would be very hard but apparently being a famous and talked about adventurer had a lot of unusual advantages such as this one.
Normally, a tavern like this would be filled to the brim with people and especially adventurers.
But, that would ruin his experience so he just booked the whole bar,since money wasn't exactly a problem for him.

Upon, entering William was greeted by a staff member who took him to where his friends were seated.
"Well, well if it isn't Mr big shot S rank" Mark jokingly teased as he saw William enter.
"Funny coming from the guy called 'Boulder armed Mark' " William retorted playfully.
That's right over the past few months William wasn't the only one to have made a name for himself as both Mark and Raya had become A-rank adventurers and gotten relatively popular.
In fact, they had apparently gotten popular enough to earn nicknames and William really enjoyed teasing Mark with his childhish nickname.
"Ugh, always the same comeback" Mark grumbled in embarrassment as he admitted defeat.
"Why would I come back with a new comeback when the old one always gets the job done" William joked.
Now that his little banter with Mark was done, he moved his attention to the girl of the hour.
The one for whom they had all gathered here today.
"Hi Jasmine" William greeted in a soft voice.
Jasmine had been smiling seeing William and Mark's little exchange, and finally greeted him at being addressed.
"Hi John"
William had already instructed everyone to not use his real name when addressing him in public so, they just chose to call him John like before.
He finally took a seat besides Mark and made himself comfortable.
After sitting down he made sure to also greet Raya and even teased her a bit for 'Dead Eye' nickname.
Over the past few months Raya's behavior towards him had changed quite a bit and she was way less awkward with him, which he really appreciated.
'Revealing my identity was a good decision after all'
Once again he was reaffirmed of what he what he already knew.
William was determined to have as much fun as possible today, after all he was probably not going to get another chance for a while.
All this time he had been preparing for the single opportunity to learn Michael's teachings and now that he was a S rank, there was no more need to wait.
But, that could wait for later, today he just wanted to have some fun with his friends.
