"Hey, Let's try to work together in killing monsters. Right now, I'm way ahead you two in levels, but we can't continue like this forever, it's better if we work like a party."
"Okay, it's indeed better for us to practice, we can't always depend on you alone, although, at least for now, Kaiya can't do anything without us, because of her class."
"That's not really a problem, although she is a healer, I'm sure she'll get some offensive spells soon, anyway, what level are you guys?"
"11 here, the last boss really gave me lots of exp." - Nishi.
"I'm 15." - Kaiya.
"All right, our level gap is closing, that's good, you already know that I'll work as the main offensive, Nishi will be the shield, and Kaiya the medic. I'll first attack with long range spells, Nishi go in front and tank their attacks, Kaiya we'll keep healing us if needed, always behind us. If by any chance I say run, don't ask, just run, stay behind me, if the situation is pretty bad, just continue running, ok?
""Ok.""
We continued walking for about 2 minutes, and then saw level 10 minotaures, that despite their weak levels, had an imposing aura surrounding them. They would be pretty good to grind and train our strategy.
"All right, this will serve, I'll attack them first, then sis will go in front to tank them, hopefully I'll be able to reduce their numbers with longe range attacks, but be careful, since we don't know how many of them there are, and nothing about the boss."
Before I could start attacking, the monsters seemed to notice me and came after us, but we were pretty far from them, about 25 meters, and the narrow corridor didn't let them use their full potential as a group. I merciless launched my Fireballs, that were now bigger than a watermelon in diameter, they weren't able to resist the Fireball's strong push force, and had no choice but to use their allies as a shield to close the gap between us.
I managed to kill 9 before they could get in attack range, when they closed the gap, Nishi went to the front and started to use her shield and body (that was protected by an heavy armour, of course) to stop their attacks. When she blocked it, I would easily kill them with my sword, sliced like tofu by me.
Since Nishi was being attack by two monsters at a time, and wasn't really experienced at it, they managed to land some hits, but she was doing a pretty good job, all their attacks would go to her shield or armour, never on a vital spot, and although she was getting hurt because of the attack's impact, it wasn't much, and Kaiya wasn't letting her HP going down at all.
Like this, we killed about 30 minotaures before getting on the room where the spawn point was located. The boss was level 18 and twice as big as the common one, but, along with the 3 common minotaurs surrounding the boss, it wasn't anything we couldn't handle.
"Let's kill the weak ones first, and then concentrate to kill the bigger." - I said to the girls while shooting 2 Arcane Bolts on the closest minotaur, that was moving after me like a madman. I've to admit it, the sight of a half horse half man monster running after me with eyes that could kill was quite a scaring one.
Nishi dealt the final blow on him with her axe, at that moment, the boss started coming close to us with the other 2. I decided to move to intercept the boss while Nishi blocked the small ones. Despite his size, he was pretty fast, but his agility couldn't be compared to mine, which was over a hundred.
Since my battle here was pretty easy, I started to shoot Fireballs in an attempt to help Nishi kill the enemies. The minotaurs died after about 20 seconds, the boss was enraged, probably because I wasn't giving him enough attention, as the nice guy I'm, I decided to give him all my attention now, and jumped straight at him, piercing my sword right on his neck, ending his life.
"Nice job girls, did you guys level up?"
"Yes, I'm level 13 now."
"I'm 16."
"That's good, you divide among yourselves all the rewards, good luck collecting it, I'll be resting a little."
"You only say this because you're a lazy guy, what a bad brother that I have, don't you think so Kaiya?" - Nishi.
"N, no, not really, I like him, if it wasn't for him, I don't know what would be happening with me now."
"Hmmm, quite the player aren't you?" - Nishi.
"Hey, stop it sis, just go and get the loot, would you?"
"All right, all right, I'm going, suit yourself."
Nishi found a better axe for herself, then we decided to put all the money we had on one place, to see if we could buy anything useful.
"Right now kaiya only has one spell, heal, that's pretty bad for a mage, and neither of you have a class yet, I got my class through repeated actions and thinking about it, so just continue doing what you guys are already doing, and will soon have one. For now, I think we should buy Kaiya a spell book, I was thinking about a buff or detoxification, in case we come to be poisoned, since heal probably won't be able to cure that, what do you guys think? we have about 10k gold right now.
"I'm fine with that, I think we should go for detoxification." - Nishi.
"Sorry for the trouble." - Said Kaiya, doing a small bow.
"Take it easy, you are part of our party after all, here, it was 8k gold, we still have 2k to spend, I'll be the provisions, let's eat, I'm dead hungry right now."
"Nice idea, I want the best food, go slave, buy it for me." - Nishi.
"Who is your slave? Dammit girl. Relax, I won't be stingy with food, it isn't expensive anyway, there are so many thing to buy in this shop, really incredible, isn't it?"
"Yeah, but, do you think we'll ever be able to live as we used to?" - Kaiya.
"I doubt, anyway, I will do my best to let you guys live out of danger, I promise."
"Hey, let's not get depressed please, leeet's eat, okay?" - Nishi.
"All right let's go, so, what do you want?" - I said as I smiled at them.
"Seafood please, you know that I love it." - Nishi.
"All right, all right, what about you Kaiya?"
"Hmm, anything is fine I guess, you can get to me seafood too."
"All right, so I'll just buy seafood, I'm hungry enough that I could eat a bull."
I opened the menu and selected the food, it appeared on a box, pretty separated, too bad, we had to buy plates, knives and forks, since it didn't came along, although it was pretty cheap, I decided to buy orange juice as well. I think the shop's food is based on our knowledge, as long we know the food exist, it will appear there for us to buy and consume it.
We started eating and chatting about our past experience, Nishi was the one leading the small talk, she was always really a good sociable person, different from her brother, however, I was not always antisocial. I think it was about 4 years ago, that I understood that people could really be rotten, though, one way or another, I always knew it.
I started to feel tired, as I remembered the events that happened with me and the person that I used to consider my best friend.
----------------------------------------
About 4 years ago
"Good morning Kosuke, why are you looking so beaten? Come on, cheer up, it's our first day on high school" - Said my childhood friend, Sachi, she had a really nice body, and a pretty face, that made angels feel envy, even in this big city, she was recognized by her beauty, I dream on marrying her, quite the mediocre dream, and pretty much a nightmare now days.
"Hello, Sachi, I don't see a motive to be on high spirits, I will really miss my vacation."
"Okay, okay, go ahead and continue to be lazy, I'm telling your sister, ok?"
"uuuh, plase, don't involve my sis, she is always looking for an excuse to tease me."
"All right, but you'll have to treat me with food on that new restaurant."
"Consider it a promise." - I said with a triumphant smile, seems like I got a date.
"Hey, Kosuke, did you know, we'll be attending the same school as that magnate's son, Natsuo Yamada, his parents are filthy rich."
"Really? Good for him, why would he be attending our school anyway? Not that I care."
"Well, I don't know, but don't you think this is a chance? Maybe we could get on his good side."
"Why? At most we would gain a job on his father's company."
"Hehehehe, you should care a little bit more about money you know? It's all right, if you don't want, just forget it."
"Whatever, just be careful, with your body, he may want something more than just get on your good side, you know how those rich guys can be."
"I know, if I can use may body to get rich and have a comfortable life, then so be it." - Whispered Sachi, so low that nobody was able to hear that.
"Sorry, did you say something?"
"Nops, only talking to myself." - She said smiling, soon I would discover how filthy and trickster this person that I used to consider a friend could be.
----------------------------------------
"Good Morning classroom, I'm your math teacher Akio Itou, I hope we can have a good teacher-student relationship, I'll do my best in teaching you all. Why don't you introduce yourselves as well? Starting from here." - Said my new muscular teacher that could be confused as a bodybuilder.
"Pleased to meet you all, my name Natsuo Yamada, I came from Rose middle school." - When he got up and introduced himself I could already hear some whispers, that's probably the guy Sachi talked about.
This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
"Hey, isn't that school supposed to be for rich people? What is he doing here?"
"Don't you know? He is the son from the owner of YAMADA's company, they're the richest group in this city, though I have no idea why he is in here."
"woow, that boy is so handsome, and rich too, what I wouldn't give to marry him."
'Oh well, he is going to be popular, as expected, better to keep my distance.'
"Hello, my name is Sachi Sasaki, pleased to meet you all, I came from Apple middle school." - Sachi got up and said with her usual beautiful smile, and as expected, people began to whisper as well.
"Wow, isn't that the god from this city? I'd never imagine I'd be on her class, luuuuck."
"Wow, angels exist."
"So beautiful."
'She is right behind him, she used to sit besides me, I feel betrayed, oh well, she just want a job =for her future, nothing weird will happen.' - That's what I thought, but Yamada looked at her with wolf eyes, I'm sure now, he wants her body, I should warn her to be careful.
And like this, the class continued, I was pretty tired, so I slept most of the morning, the teachers didn't seem to care, so little did I.
After the classroom I was going to talk to her, we are neighbors, so we usually go home together, but before I could, a tall and muscular guy came in front of me, blocking my way.
"Hello, pleased to meet you. I don't know anybody around here, if it wouldn't be a problem, would you mind hanging around with me a little, lady Sachi, if may call you that?" - It was Natsuo, of course, who else.
"Of course, pleased to meet you, Natsuo" - Sachi said, smiling at him.
'Ok, this is a real shit, I can't just sit and watch can I?'
"Hey, Sachi, are you going home now?"
"Kosuke..."
"Hello, is he a friend of yours?" - Said Natsuo, showing clear disdain.
"Well, kind of."
"Well, if it's about going home, how about I call my driver and take you home? We could go somewhere else and talk before, if you have free time." - Natsuo
"Of course, let's go, bye Kosuke." - She said as she left with her new friend.
'Serious? I feel dumped... That was... cruel.'
I decided to let it be, and went home, feeling depressed, what the fuck, she really dumped for a guy rich guy she just meet, I can't believe Sachi is this kind of girl.
When I got home, I was attack by a flying object of unknown origin, that pushed me to the floor.
'Ban Bow'
"Oi, brother, why are you so distracted today? You usually catches me pretty well, wake up dammit, that hurt hahahahahaha."
"Nishi, dammit, I already told you, stop doing that! Dammit, my head hurts like hell now." - The object was my sister, playing pranks on me once again.
"Sorry, sorry, just ask Sachi to give you a kiss, so it will heal hihihi, how about it?" - Said Nishi, I know it wasn't her intention, but that went right on my wound, opening it even more.
"Hm." - I ignored her and went to my bedroom, just gonna sleep, and try to forget this shit.
'Knock Knock Knock Knock'
"Hey, brother, sorry, I don't know why you are so upset, but sorry if a hurt you in anyway, you know I love you, don't you?" - Nishi said with a really depressed voice.
"Don't worry, sis, I love you too, I'm going to take a nap, see you later."
"Ok, sleep well brother."
I decided to take a bath before, it always helped me to calm down, when I went to bed I saw a text message from Sachi saying 'I'm sorry', I responding saying 'No problem' to her and went to sleep, oh well, my mood is a little bit better now, I think. I started to think on Sachi, as I fall to the dreamland.
When I woke up, it was already 5 pm, I decided to eat, since I ate almost nothing today, and play some computer games until 23 pm, time that I went to bed once again.
On the next morning, I saw Sachi leaving home, and she waved to me with her usual smile.
"Kosuke, sorry about yesterday, I hope you can forgive me, you know, I'm only doing that for a future ok?"
"Right, no problem, I can live with that, how was yesterday?" - I'm starting to believe that I'm a masochist, such an idiotic question.
"Oh, it was cool, he introduced me to his 2 friends, hey, Kosuke, do you think you could lend me you school cabinet? I need it just for today, I don't have space on mine anymore."
"What? Are you serious? School just got started, oh well, I'm not using mine for now anyway, go ahead, the password is 341096."
"Thanks Kosuke, you're a real life saver."
"No problem."
We continued to chat about meaningless on the way to school, my mood was getting pretty good, but it was soon ruined by mr. perfect, rich, handsome and muscular, that just got on our way.
"Good morning Sachi." - Ignoring me now, isn't he.
"Good morning Natsuo, Naozumi and Noriko." - I noticed that there were 2 people besides Natsuo. They are from our classroom as well, didn't he said that he didn't know anybody around here?... They continued walking till classroom, chatting, completely ignoring me, okay, I can put up with that.
Sachi was still with her friends, I decided to go home on my own again, I think I won't have company to home in a while, I sighed and continued walking.
I played video game with my sister till night, then studied a little and went to sleep. When I woke up in the next morning, I didn't see Sachi, and went to school alone, when I got in classroom, I felt a heavy atmosphere, the teacher seemed to be really angry, giving a sermon to the classroom.
"Somebody stole our school's lucky ball, if the person who did it tell and give it back, I promise there won't be any problems, if anybody know anything, you better not hide it." - Our school is recognized by its soccer game, we even have an old and worn out ball that they carry with them on all games, who the fuck would steal that, for god sakes?
"Teacher, I was in school studying yesterday afternoon, and saw Kosuke carrying something that may be a ball, though I'm not sure." - Natsuo.
Serious? Mr. perfect is accusing me now? what the fuck, I wasn't even here in the afternoon.
"What the fuck, I left as soon as the classroom ended, what are you talking about, I doubt you even saw me here." - I was getting really angry, little shit liar.
"And do you know where he put that object? Kosuke, if you did something, you better tell us now." - Said the teacher.
"No way, I steal anything, why would I want the worn out and old ball?"
"I saw him putting it on his school cabinet." - Natsuo.
'Serious, this fucker.' I never stole a thing from anybody and people are already looking at me as if I'm a thief, they are completely believing in what that guy is saying!
"All right, take it easy, Kosuke, let's go there, open it for us to see."
"Ok."
We went there, the people was surrounding me, the teacher was already looking at me as if I was guilty, what a shit, when I opened it, there it was, the fucking ball, what the fuck?! This is such an obvious joke, I didn't steal it!
"Here, the ball, I'll call your parents."
"What, I didn't steal it, I swear!"
"We'll talk about it on the director's office"
The people were looking at me with disgust, really, I looked at Natsuo, that was obvious a trap, but how the fuck did him put the ball there without damaging the cabinet? That was when I noticed Sachi by his side, laughing, with her usual smile, looking at me, her usual smile, uh, I see, she was the one, those 2 friends of theirs probably know about it too, since they are looking at me and laughing a little, what a joke, bastards.
My parents were called, the director told us that he prefers not to involve the police, since it was a small case, and said if I admitted it and said sorry, I would be forgiven. In the end, I didn't do it, since I didn't steal that thrash ball, to begin with. My parents ended up asking to be forgiven in my place, and I was suspended for a week, I never talked the usual way with Sachi after that, I think she tried to talk to me 1 or 2 times, since I didn't give a reply, she just forgot about it, as she didn't care at all.
The worst part is, everybody looked at me with disgust, I was never able to make a friend on the school again, and since that ball was famous, everybody in the school knew about what happened.
That may seem just like a small prank, but to me, it wasn't, my school life was over, couldn't make any friends, the person that I considered my best friend turned out to be a bitch, beauty can really mask a demon. I'm pretty sure that Natsuo incited this prank, probably thought as Sachi as his possession, and didn't like me walking and talking with her. Bastards, rotten to the core.
When I told what happened to sister she was really furious, if I didn't stop her, the police would really be involved this time, but I managed to calm her down, and we buried it in our minds.
----------------------------------------
"Hey, brother. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY, broooooooooooooooother! Wake up, are you going to sleep there forever?" - Nishi was screaming on my ear, dammit, that hur.
"Sorry, my bad, let's get moving, did you collected all the loot?"
"Sure, let's go, my most beloved brother."
"Well, you only have ONE brother, don't you?"
"Hehehe."
We continued moving to the next place, that's the only thing we can do now, keeping moving and getting stronger, people are rotten, and can do some real shit, last time was just a small prank, next time may be my life on the line, I must never forget that.
