After an hour or so passed everything seemed calm, fool moon was high in the sky, Tenebris was gazing upon the night sky silently pondering to himself.
From the info we currently have we can't leave this school until we clear this dungeon, it has unknown number of bosses and monsters are spawning in random places around the school. So, first we need to establish some sort of a base right? After that we should get some more info on those bosses, their location and strength, damn it this is annoying, what should i do bro, got any ideas? He thought as his gaze pierced night darkness reaching the moon. Nothing huh?! Well i can't blame you, i can't think of anything myself either, let's just do it one step at the time, i'll talk with the janitor once he is rested, maybe he might know some good hideout. Status! Show sub-attributes!

"God this is a lot of math, why does it have to be math, can't it be something like art and crafts? Jeez anyway, it looks like casters have it simpler, except i don't have a clue what those runes are for, maybe they have something with universal laws. Ah whatever i'm a fighter anyway, i should just focus on my attributes and deal with the rest of it on the way." Tenebris mumbled to himself unaware that he wasn't alone anymore.

"Uh, i could tell you what those runes are for, i finished my meditation." Whispered shilly Diana.
"Oh you did already, that was quite fast, speak then, what do you know?"
"Well runes are some strange symbols that you use to make a magic circle, each time you meditate you increase your regeneration, gain bit of exp and have a slight chance to gain a rune."
"So did you get a rune? Can you cast spells now?" He asked curiously.
"Well i did, i got two runes in fact, i got one from meditation and another one from system notification."
"Oh, what system notification?"
"It said that i was in top hundred people to meditate and that i was awarded a bonus rune." She spoke while blushing slightly.
"So what kind of runes did you get?"
"My first rune was water rune and my second one was time rune..."
"So it seems runes are really connected with universal laws huh..." He mumbled quietly.
"Huh? What did you say?" Diana asked confused.
"Uh? Oh nothing, never mind, so can you cast a spell then?"
"I can't, i need minimum of three runes to merge them into a spell, and i first need to learn a proper combination to form a spell."
"How high is your wisdom?" He asked while thinking.
"22, is that good?" She mumbled shilly.
"Yes verry good, 8 more wisdom and you will be able to cast a spell, so that is like two more levels, nice, so besides two levels you need one more rune and a spell combination, this should be easy, good job, here take this as a reward!" He spoke excitedly as he tossed a protein bar to her.
"Thank you." She mumbled in response as she blushed even more, her whole face from neck and higher was almost pure red color.
"Well that's just how things will go from now on, i don't need useless people so whoever does something good gets to eat, those who don't, get punished!" As he finished his sentence a slight shiver ran through her as she watched him, river of thoughts forming in her mind, confused as for what did he actually mean as punishment.
"Okay guys pack up, only things you will need don't burden yourself too much we need mobility more than anything else." He spoke a bit louder so everyone could hear him.
"Oh, where are we going?" Asked Tanya while fastening a sword to her belt.
"To get some food and grind some exp for you guys, so did you read anything interesting from that guide i gave you?"
"Well yeah, it is indeed like a game, we should be able to form a party to share exp from monsters, so we can rely on you for a bit to level us up a bit." Answered Damian.
"Nope, you can't rely on me, if you do you will die faster, exp is not the only thing you get from monsters you know."
"Oh did you mean monster drops?" Asked confused Tanya.
"Nope, something even better!" He answered with a grin on his face.
"What is better than exp and equipment?" Asked Damian totally confused.
"Combat expirience! Yeah it might hurt a little, but no pain, no gain. So then, form a party guys and let's head out!" They all felt a shiver down their spines just from watching Tenebris grin, they didn't know why but his smiled looked especialy cold and ruthless.
"W-where are we going?" Asked Tanya slightly afraid.
"Skeleton farming!" Tenebris answered with even wider smile on his face.
