In the worst case scenario, a gamer would like maintenance. With nothing to do other then play, A second feels like an hour.
"Might as well go to school"
There was unusual joy, joy was every day. But something about today was different in them. It was like dawn of cultural festival but it's wasn't that time of year yet. I stopped a guy who walking in bit hurry, i know always this type of guys are stopped.
"Why everyone seems so happy today? Is there some kind of festival?"
"Dude are even from this generation?" He replied.
"Why can't i be?"
"Dude after maintenance, the next S class event will be dungeon raid." He said.
"No, this can't be joy for that"
"Okay, okay i will tell you, but this isn't complete information." He whispered to me.
"Rumor is that, schools are organizing prefectural competition for Tarum. But remember this is just rumor yet." He said that and left.
I slowly went towards my domain, i mean my desk. I sat and stared outside the room like a main character would do. Teachers came and went, and likely she founded me again.
Hey, Sugawara! She waved. What you upto?.
Planning murder, shoyo replied.
Whose? Kawasaki asked with serious face.
Well, lemme think.
She bursted in laughter HAHAHAHAHAH, you were really planning to kill someone.
I stared to her face speechless, like what? I was just replying you.
Out of nowhere, he came too.
"Hey! Kawasaki what you doing here"
I looked up, and he was non other then stupid leader of class. Dachi.
"No, just discussing about game" she replied.
Why are you panicking dumbass, like you were selling some LSD. These words were limited to shoyo's mind.
"Mind if i join then?" Daichi asked.
She took a quick glance at me and said "yeah sure." Not like i wanted him to join or anything.
He pulled chair from other desk and sat with us.
"So what were you guys discussing?" He asked.
"Well....." she was bit confused what to reply.
"In game legends" said shoyo.
"Yeah, that"
"Oh shall we continue then?" He asked.
"Why not" shoyo replied.
"There is twin sword of heaven" i started a story.
Power of those swords are unparallel to any other. In the hand of right wielder, they might be unstoppable. It's known that those sword were made by god itself.
"If the sword is made by god, it really must be strong" Daichi said.
He is definitely stupid, i just said that.
"Yeah, it will be" kawasaki said.
But there is another part of story, i continued.
Gods only made one sword. Strongest sword ever created. But when gods fought with demons, that sword was stolen. Demons were accused for stealing it. Gods created another replica of that sword to fight the weilder of other. That sword was given to strongest fighter of God's army. Cause when the battle between those sword will happen, only thing which can make difference will be wielder. If the fight ends in proper way, sword of losing warrior will break. But war between God's and demons ended, but they never found other sword. Sword which remained with gods was named Xcalibur, and other one is known as fallen Xcalibur or decended Xcalibur.
"Damn, it must be a cool sword" Daichi said.
"Is that sword still in game?" Kawasaki asked.
"May be" shoyo replied.
I also got an intresting story to tell, said Kawasaki.
Both me and Daichi looked at her and she continued.
"Around 8 months ago, i was grinded in Northern Empire, i went little too deep in plains and found myself at Hill of Heaven. That's was the first time i met Shindo, when i approached him, he said he was gaurding hill of heaven. I thought he was NPC for a second."
Yeah, i know he is good player who saves people from thugs there, said Daichi.
He is good player afterall, Kawasaki said.
Oh is he? Shoyo asked with straight face.
"Well let me continue" said Kawasaki and continued story, "But something strange happened that day, It started to rain."
What's strange in rain? Asked Daichi.
Nothing, but it's strange that, it was raining reset crystal, replied Kawasaki.
Huh!!!! Really??? Daichi said.
Yup, it did and i even manage to get one. Said Kawasaki.
You really told us quite intresting story, kawasaki. Shoyo said.
Yeah, i was amazed that day too.
You know the reason? Shoyo asked.
No, but i saw Shindo smirking and saying "this guy".
Ohh.. he might know.
I also have something to tell you guys, said Daichi.
Ohh really? Shoyo said mockingly.
Kawasaki glared at him.
I choose western empire as my starting country, i spent over month grinding there and i came across a story of nameless legend, who killed 100 player in one go, without breaking a sweat. I think he is one weilder of Xcalibur. What do you think guys?
Might be , said Kawasaki.
100 of them in single go. Hm in any case you know him? Asked Shoyo.
I said, no one knows him. Replied Daichi.
Damn it! i asked a stupid question.
*school bell rang*
Welp, i need to go. Class is going for karaoke, care to join us? He asked.
Kawasaki glanced at me and said "no i have other things to do."
Do you? He asked me.
No, i replied.
Okay i shall take my leave then, after saying that he joined his friend from class followed by friends from other classes as well.
She sat in front of me in silence looking outside the window, as she wanted to talk but she couldn't. After a moment she said, "is Xcalibur still in game?"
It was silence for a moment, then i replied
Yeah.
Might be a good weapon.
She spoke that, and again there was silence. She was smiling while staring outside. She might be thinking something. In that silence her smile felt comfortable.
