Chapter 20 - Precious times (2)

"The end of the fourth year is near, i can't wait for constant training" thought Andrej, who just woke up.

"Partner, partner?!" Andrej opened his eyes and through foggy vision saw Mateja who tried to wake him up.

"Oh, it's just you, let's go" Andrej said and quickly put his uniform on, before walking towards the classroom, but while he approached the classroom he could begin to see clearly that somebody was calling his name, then he woke up and realized that he was sleeping during class and that the professor was looking at him strangely.

"Oh, i'm sorry"

"Why did you fall asleep again?" asked Anya angrily.

"Yeah partner, you should listen to class" added Mateja.

"Really, did nobody ever slept in class here?" thought Andrej to himself.

"Now, let me finish the lesson, after all the battles, a new king was selected. The new king was Triglav, the strongest adventurer in history, who had ties with the royal family"

"This sounds like an interesting lesson, why did i sleep it off?"

"This class is dismissed" the professor said and left the classroom.

"Huh?"

"It's because you slept in class" said Anya.

"Yeah, that is not okay partner" added Mateja.

"Who asked you?" said Anya.

"I think you should stop being angry at everything" Mateja told her.

"Stop worrying about me! I mean it's okay to worry a little, but stop!" they continued Arguing until Ivan came.

"Hey" Ivan said calmly.

"Hey Ivan, did something happen?" asked Andrej.

"Uh Andrej, your father is here, and he is really angry" Ivan said.

"Huh, Why??"

"I don't know, but you must have done something really bad" answered Ivan.

Andrej quickly ran towards the school gates where Kiril stood solemnly.

"Father, i am sorry for sleeping during classes, and for being late"

"Huh, what are you talking about" said Kiril, and Andrej looked back, and saw Ivan on one of the windows smiling.

"Damn you Ivan" Andrej thought angrily.

"It's nothing father, but how are you, how is mother?"

"As you can see, i am alive and well, your mother is too, now let's go to that village downhill, Oleg and Katarina are waiting"

"Yes" Andrej said and together with his father went to the village, at the village entrance they saw Kataria and her father Oleg, who approached them.

"Oh Andrej!" Oleg said through his irritating laughs.

"Oh no, not the laugh again"

"Hello"

"I hear that school is going good for both of you, i also heard about some of your mischiefs, but i'm not a snitch" Oleg whispered that last part.

"Hey father, where will we go" asked Katarina.

"Let's go to that little tavern over there" answered Oleg, and all four of them went to the tavern and took their seats.

"Hello, what would you like to order?"

"Two beers please" said Oleg and Kiril at the same time.

"One gulash* and one kvass* for me" said Andrej.

"One kompot* for me" said Katarina and the waitress nodded and went to get their orders, before returning after some time and placing their foods and drinks on the table.

"Ah, that was some good beer" said Kiril loudly.

"I agree my friend, hey miss give us another round of beer!" shouted Oleg.

"Hey, did you like that beer which you drank last time?" whispered Oleg to Katarina.

"How does he know about that?" thought Katarina, and the waitress came back with Oleg and Kiril's beer, before Kiril shouted again.

"Get one beer for them too"

"Wait father!" said Andrej.

"What, you should drink, you are a man aren't you?"

"Okay, but only one"

"I guess that works too" said Kiril as he downed his beer in one gulp, and two more beers came to the table, Katarina also quickly drank her shot, while Andrej moderately drank, then Kiril, Oleg and Katarina ordered one more shot for each of them, which they gulped down at the same time, resulting in them getting drunk, then they slowly exited the tavern, knocking a few chairs in the process, a chariot was stationed in front of the tavern, which Kiril and Oleg recognised as their ride back home, and they quickly hopped into the cart on the back.

"Goodbye kids…." they said.

"Goodbye" said Andrej, and he together with Katarina, who was slumped over his shoulder, walked back to school, after about ten minutes of walking, they arrived at the school gate.

"Now then, how to get you to your room, without guards noticing that you are drunk"

"I am not drunk, i just drank a little more than usual"

"Sure, whatever you say" Andrej said and he started carrying her on his back and he ran up the stairs towards the dorms, then he passed his room door, from where he heard some chatter, he opened the door a little and he saw Mateja, Ivan and Anya playing cards together. All three of them looked as Andrej closed the door and entered the room.

"Oh, look who is drunk" said Ivan with a mischievous smile.

"I am not drunk! I just.. " said Katarina who suddenly fell asleep, then Andrej put her on the unoccupied bed.

"Partner! You could have invited me" said Mateja.

"Sorry, i forgot"

"I am graduating next year, let's all get drunk then" said Ivan.

"Maybe it's better for our graduation" said Andrej.

"Why?" asked Ivan.

"I don't know, just a feeling"

"Whatever, we are getting drunk either way" said Mateja. "Hey Andrej, do you want to join the game?"

"Of course" Andrej said and sat on the bed.

"This world is perfect! I have experienced everything which i haven't since i was fifteen, i am really grateful for getting reincarnated" Andrej thought as he played cards with his friends.
