I wake up to see a roof that is made of thatch and wood. I groggily get up while hearing a piercing whistle outside. I get up and realize that I've been carried outside the village and I see the...north gate, or was it the south one maybe east? I shake my head vigorously before walk I outside through the backdoor seeing a man swinging a katana..."WAIT IS THAT YOU RICHARD!" I shout in surprise realizing that the man swinging a katana is indeed Richard.
"Yo you're finally awake Mitchell. I thought you died when you fought that weird rabbit." He says quite cheerfully
"I never thought you were outside of the village. And in a house to say at the very least." I say
"Yeah when I woke up I was here. Guess everyone is also scattered." He says while shrugging
"Oh okay, wait did you get your class?" I ask Richard.
"Yeah actually, I got it when I swung this katana fifty times. I'm a novice samurai right now...at least I'll get that class right after I kill five more horned rabbits."
"Well that's great! I still haven't got mine yet so we can do it together. But I still need to do it and go back to the archer lady in the village." I say cheerfully.
"Oh okay I can help you with it since I need to do the same quest anyway. Wait a moment does it allow kill sharing?"
"I dunno I never tried."
After I said that sentence we heard footsteps coming from the front of the house. We both look at each other before we both start whispering.
"Do you have my knife?"
"Yeah, near the bed."
I nod at that before slowly opening the door and tip toeing towarss the bed I woke up on noting that the bed was the bottom bed of a bunk bed. I stealthily grab my knife before motioning to Richard to the door before sheathing my knife and opening the door.
When I opened it I saw a small party of three people. There were two girls and one guy, they were all holding weapons out for some reason pointing them at me. They all opened their mouths and demanded to know where Richard was. I proceeded to grab Richard by the shoulder and thrusting him in front of me.

"Here he is now go chit chat or whatever."
The party was visibly surprised but I couldn't hear anything because I shut the door quickly. After which I went to the beds and face planted and slept for a few hours. After a few hours I got up and went to the kitchen seeing Richard must sitting there.
"Yo you there? OI YOU THERE."
I walked over before shouting in his ear which he didn't respond too. I raised my hand and proceeded to slap the ever loving shit out of him. After around 10 slaps he started shouting in pain atwhich I stopped while waving my hand in the air.
"DUDE DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT HURT!"
"Yup it hurt my hand a lot. Sorry bout that, had to get you out of your torpor." I say nonchalantly while Richard is rubbing his face.
"So what did those people what from you?"
"Teaching."
"Teaching?"
"Teaching."
"Teaching what Richard?"
"I dunno, something bout samurai stuff."
I shake my head at the answer before asking why.
"Well this my 'father' was presumably a legendary samurai and the party wanted me to teach the dude swordsmanship."
I stare blankly at him before shaking my head and asking if we should go rabbit hunting.
He nods before getting up and grabbing the poor quality but well kept katana. We both walk outside to the horned rabbits ready to kill them. By the time we get there several people are fighting the rabbits while many more are getting their ass kicked. We both silently stare at the poor rabbits getting killed before rushing in to join the fight. We manage to nab a lone rabbit before another joins it. Richard charges in before slicing one down its flank.
