Chapter 8 - Chapter 8:Finally time to relax

Ren woke up a few hours after his berserker moment against joben. He got up and frantically looked around after his 'talk' with Sen. "Sen!" He looked around realizing that he was awake as he hopped off the bed he was on and started walking around looking for everyone else. Joben was slowly walking around since he was close to recovery from his fight with Ren which had left him with near fatal damage to his body. The two of them eventually bumped into each other and stared bullets at each other. Joben held onto his stomach before breaking the silence between the two shadow casters. "One of these days we're gonna have our rematch and I'm gonna kick your ass." Ren smirked before coughing as that shadow form he entered drained a lot of energy out of him. "Yeah I'd like to see you try." Joben patted Rens head in a condescending way. "Just make sure that next time I kick your ass you dont bust out a new bullshit transformation like yesterday." Ren opened his mouth to say something but he couldn't think of a good comeback since Joben was telling the truth. As Joben was about to say something else Leo and the rest of the group showed up with Leo face palming at the sight of Joben and Ren arguing.

Aiko piped in thinking it was funny. "What's wrong boys trouble in paradise?" Ren and Joben went quiet for a few seconds before both yelling in unison. "Shut up Aiko!!!" Aiko laughed a bit before putting a lollipop in her mouth. Leo sighed before speaking. "Well now that the two of you have finished your argument I've come to a decision. Since Joben is still recovering from him and Rens fight yesterday and can't exactly train you all can relax today. Meanwhile I'll be planning our next mission for tomorrow, it'll be sure to make us all stronger." Joben grew a little annoyed by a Leo saying that he couldn't train. "Woah Leo I can still train look." He punched the air before reeling it back and having a face of anguish. "The pain! The excruciating pain!" Leo shaked his head in disappointment. "That was what I meant, now all of you are left to your own devices. Just lay low and if you go out you run into that guy from 3 days ago report back here immediately. You guys got that?" Everyone nodded yes as Leo left to his personal quarters to plan tomorrow's mission. Joben stared daggers a Ren once more before walking over to Dai and Akame since they were his two closest companions that he's known since he became a part of the group. Ren walked over to Persephone and began talking to her.

"So Joben really hates me huh?" Persephone shook her head comedically since she's seen something like this happen before. "Don't worry about Joben, Ren he does that all the time when someone kicks his ass. He'll get his ass beat her all mopey act like they took something more valuable than his own life from him. Then after a few days he'll become best buds with the person. It's basically a ritual at this point." Persephone chuckled lightly before playfully punching Ren's arm. "So don't sweat it you have nothing to worry about." Ren smiled slightly since he thought that with the information that Persephone gave him everything will he okay. He began thinking to himself before hearing Joben scream. "Yo look Dai got drunk and is trying to sing." Dai began singing after checking the mic. "Drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and fight! We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and fight! And if I see a pretty girl I'll sleep with her tonight. We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and drink and fi....ght." Dais last few words were slurred as he passed out from the alcohol. Ren looked at Dai on the floor before shaking his head in disappointment. Meanwhile inside of Leo's personal quarters he decided what they would do tomorrow. "I've got it! This plan will make everyone stronger, maybe even strong enough to beat that asshole. But for now I must work." Leo went back to planning tomorrow's events with a smirk on his face. "
