Chapter 173 To Oaklum! Part-3.

??Hotel Arya, Dining Hall.

"So, what you are trying to say is, that the academy staff contacted you both to pick us all up because they mistakenly teleported us to the wrong portal?" (Link)

Hearing Link's voice, Zach nodded his head.

"Yep, they mistakenly connected the teleporting altar to that abandoned one... the basement you guys teleported to, was being used as a secret teleportation place by the academy a few decades ago..." (Zach)

"But it had already been sealed and closed off after the fifty-year orc war ended..." (Zach)

Listening to Zach's words, Link was more confused, he asked in a doubtful tone:

"How do you know so much about this..." (Link)

Zach just stretched out his hand and smiled:

"My grandpa is a retired officer from the army, he fought in the fifty-year orc war and retired at the end of the war..." (Zach)

Zach's grandpa who was sitting on the nearby chair across the large dining table smiled and said:

"Actually that old mansion used to be a guard post for the soldiers who used to guard the teleportation altar... it was later gifted to me by the government when I retired, but I declined their offer..." (Grandpa)

"Instead of keeping it for myself, after the war ended, I handed off that property to the academy, so that they can use it to send more scouts for children..." (Grandpa)

"This way more talented kids from 'Oaklum' were able to enter the academy over the years..." (Grandpa)

While the grandpa was telling his stories, Rio and others were all sitting on chairs and enjoying luxurious food.

This dining hall is a reserved one, no other guest was present in the whole place aside from them.

Zach's grandpa is a peak A-ranker, he has lived most of his years in war and has survived many terrifying moments during that long war.

Hearing about those stories made all of the party members feel like they were listening to an epic tale of a hero.

Eating food while listening to the past stories of a war veteran, is one of the best experiences you can hope for right?

...

"Indeed the academy staff also said, that those management staff members have received three-month suspension as their punishment... sigh~" (Zach)

"It's good that you guys are all strong otherwise, it would have been quite difficult to get you all out of that A-rank seal..." (Zach)

Hearing Zach, Liam shook his head and said:

"It's no big deal, I can unlock thousands of such seals easily..." (Liam)

After saying that Liam glanced at Link, pointed his finger at Link's face, and said:

"In fact the major issue now is, this guy has smashed through that seal with brute force! Now it will need to be repaired from scratch!" (Liam)

Indeed, if Link had stayed still, and hadn't destroyed the area by force, Liam could have easily opened the seal without harming it, and they could have resealed the place after getting out of the basement.

But now that it was already broken, it would need to be created from scratch again.

Hearing Liam's complaints, Link just shrugged his shoulders and said in a helpless tone:

"Well, I thought that we were being held captive at the time, and when I see such situations I just feel like breaking through them head-on..." (Link)

A smirk appeared on Link's face as he remembered how he smashed that seal in one attack.

"You may say that it was useless, but smashing that seal was indeed quite satisfying... hehe" (Link)

Hearing Link laugh at his own wrongdoings, Liam just shook his head in defeat, this was the first time he had seen such a muscle-brained person.

"hahaha... you young people are all so interesting! If You were in the army, you would have been easily able to break through the opponent's defenses, you have a strong physique..." (Grandpa)

The more Grandpa looked at Link's well-built muscles the more satisfied he became. Then he glanced at his own grandson who was short and didn't seem to have much muscle.

"Tch! Learn something from your junior, when will you start behaving more manly! You always go and wander around the streets like a kid! Sigh~" (Grandpa)

"Grandpa! Don't scold me in front of my juniors!" (Zach)

Zach was embarrassed when he got scolded right in front of everyone. From the side of his eyes, he stole glances at Riko, she seemed to be eating her food with her usual stern look.

'Sigh~ at least don't insult me in front of the girl I like...' (Zach)

Zach hurriedly got up and dragged his grandpa away.

"Okay guys! My grandpa is old now! He needs to rest! He has back pain and can't stay here too long!" (Zach)

Grandpa had a bewildered expression as he was being dragged away by Zach.

"Eh! No wait! Who said I have back pain!? You know I used to carry giant boulders on my back in my younger days!" (Grandpa)

"Yeah yeah I know, let's get you your medicines first Grandpa..." (Zach)

Hearing about medicines, Grandpa's face turned sour.

"F*cking throw away those sh*tty medicines! They can't even cure my knee pain! I am telling you, those healers are all scammers! They don't know sh*t about medicine!" (Grandpa)

"Back in my days! I used to make better medicines than them! They are all quacks who only know how to scam money off us innocent people!" (Grandpa)

While Grandpas was scolding those medicines, Zach didn't even bother listening to those complaints, it seemed this was a regular occurrence for him and he was already used to it.

…

After a while Zach returned back and the mood became a bit awkward.

"Uh, don't worry about my grandpa guys, he is old and as you know, war veterans have a stubborn personality most of the time… sigh~" (Zach)

Just when Zach was trying to reduce the awkwardness, Link the muscle-head ended up increasing the awkwardness again.

"Your grandpa looks quite tall and well built, he must have had a strong physique in his younger days… but how come you are so short and weak looking…" (Link)

"In fact, you look even weaker than Riya! Even she might throw you away in one punch!" (Link)

Hearing Link's question, several veins appeared on Zach's face and he looked like he was going to slap Link on the face.

"I have gotten this short height gene from my grandmother, she used to be short and frail, similarily my mother had a frail physique too, thus you could say I am more inclined towards my mother and grandmother's genes…" (Zach)

Then Zach narrowed his eyes and said:

"As for being able to swat me away in a punch, don't forget I am an A-rank archer, I can dig three hundred holes in the opponent's body before they can approach me…" (Zach)

Although Zach indeed looked a bit weak and frail, his strength was by no means weak.

What he lacked in physique, he made up for it with skill.

Hearing Zach, Riko nodded her head and said:

"Indeed, Zach is the top scorer of our batch, he has been at Rank 1 since his first year… I have sparred with him many times, but I have yet to score a single victory…" (Riko)

Hearing that unexpected praise from Riko, Zach felt like he was the happiest man in the world at that moment, he grinned from ear to ear and felt like all that insulting earlier was worth it now.

'Good! She complimented me! I have the chance!' (Zach)

"You praise me too much Riko, you are also strong I don't think any other third-year student can hold their ground in front of you either!" (Zach)

At Zach's compliment, Riko nodded her head and then continued to eat.

Seeing that she wasn't paying any more attention to him, Zach continued to talk with the others.

"By the way guys, as I am a local here, how about you all come with me tomorrow and visit the whole city when we still have time?" (Zach)

"The mission will start in two days anyway, in the meantime we all can wander around the city and enjoy our free time…" (Zach)

"After all, it is quite rare for us to get free time, once the mission starts we might not get enough time later…" (Zach)

While Zach looked quite generous and harmless on his face, he was already creating many conspiracies in his mind right now.

'Guys take the bait! I wanna go and have a date with Riko, I wanna impress her! This is my only chance! It's difficult to find girls with my short height!' (Zach)

Oblivious of his conspiracies, everyone nodded their head at Zach's offer.

"Well it's a rare occasion to visit the beach, we should enjoy it while we still can!" (Link)

'I wanna see Riya in the swimsuit!' (Link)

"Indeed, we should go to the beach…" (Rio)

'I wonder how Lia will look in a swimsuit… cough cough!' (Rio)

"Yeah it's been a while since I slept on the warm sand of the beach, let's go there…" (Liam)

'Should I ask Ellie to wear a swimsuit?' (Liam)

Unknowingly, all the boys were planning the same thing in their minds.

They all wanted to stare at the girls!
