HARD TRAINING (1)
"Where are you?" Syton asked Stalane after he contacted her using telepathy. Syton heard Stalane groaned in annoyance. He hold himself not to laugh.
"Can you message me first before you call?!"
"I'll keep that in mind but no promises" Syton said as he imagine Stalane's annoyed face.
Stalane clicked her tongue before she answered Syton's question. "Tsk. I'm inside the guild house. Aero is currently leading me where Kian is staying at"
"So, the guild do have something with Gerin?"
"Yes. Aero said that Gerin is their guild master"
"Guild master? How is that even possible?" Syton confusingly asked.
"I don't know. I'm confused myself. I'll call you later, we are already here. Bye!" Stalane said as she end the call.
"Ahh, wait---" Syton scratched his head when he wasn't able to tell Stalane what happened to Gerin.
He sighed as he put his hands on his waist. "What am I supposed to do with him?"
Syton can't decide if he should call Stalane or message her about it. But after hearing Stalane's annoyed voice, Syton was more convinced to call her instead.
Syton was about to call Stalane again when he hesitated. He sighed as he carried Gerin on his back.
"Wow, old man. You're so heavy" Syton complained, half joking and half serious.
"So? Where's your guild house?" Syton asked the unconscious old man.
Syton smiled as he sarcastically laugh, "Where do I suppose to bring you when you're almost dead?"
He walked around the town to look for the guild house that is full of adventurers, but he found out that he can't do that without using notitia. Since he's not a weapon class it's not that easy to use notitia carelessly.
He asked around but it seems not everyone know what guild he was talking about.
Syton was forced to use notitia which depletes almost all of his mana for a small amount of time.
Fortunately, Syton knows when he should or should not use notitia. When he noticed that someone seems to be an adventurer, he'll use notitia to confirm it. After that, when the person is really an adventurer he'll ask the person about the guild.
After an hour of looking, he finally found the guild house.
He looked at the person behind his back as he helplessly smiled. "Give me some compensation for bringing you back to your guild later, will you?"
Syton followed the person who directed them to the place. Apparently, this person is also a member of the all adventurer guild.
When they entered the guild house, all the members were surprised at what they saw behind his back.
"Do you guys have a healer? This old man is almost at the bridge towards heaven" Syton asked with a tinge of his nonsensical joke.
A man approached Syton and said, "I am"
Syton smiled as he let the healer take care of Gerin.
"Finally, my back hurts because of the old man" Syton sighed in relief.
Stalane went over where Syton is after seeing him go inside the guild house with Gerin. She was confused at how the guild master of the proud adventurer became in that poor state of condition.
"What happened?" Stalane asked.
Syton held up his hand in front of Stalane as if telling her to wait. He went towards a chair then sat on it.
"Hey, can you give me some water? That old man is really heavy!" Syton waved towards one of the member of the guild.
Stalane watched how the adventurer obliged to do what Syton said. She shook her head helplessly as she asked Syton what happened again.
"Sit down. I don't think the guild will charge you if you sit on the chair, so you don't have to worry about Gou" Syton joked.
Stalane gave a heavy glare at Syton and he just laugh this out. Clearly, he was not scared by the threat that Stalane was giving him with her glare.
"Well, I was about to ask for your help earlier to bring this old man but you hang up on me!" Syton complained.
"Huh?" Stalane confusingly asked.
Syton pointed at the old man that was currently being healed by an adventurer. "That old man tried to pick a fight with me, saying that it was all a test. I told him if we could just talk it out but he said it was whoever 'The Lord's' order. After that, he just became like that! I didn't know that I was that too strong! Hah! As expected of the great Syton! Hahaha!"
Syton once again bragged about himself.
"So? You defeated him?" Stalane tried to verify because she have her doubts.
But Syton proved himself by proudly saying, "Yup!"
Stalane sighed.
"Huh? Why?" Syton asked when she heard her sigh.
"Are you sure? He's rank 5G, how could you defeat him?" Stalane asked.
Syton was surprised not because of Stalane's doubt but because of her remark telling that he was a rank 5G.
"You know his rank? How?"
Stalane tilted her head and looked at Syton as if he was asking for something obvious. But after a while she realized something. "What level is your notitia?"
Syton innocently looked at Stalane as he blinked for 3 seconds before he asked, "What level?"
Stalane now understood. Well, that was given since she only knew how to level up her notitia through the heavy training with Kaleigh.
"Mine is already level 3, which allows me to see someone's name, class, rank and their status without the need of adding them as a friend. When you're notitia became level 2, you could see someone's name, class, and rank. But when you're still level 1 just like yourself, you could only get to see their name and class" Stalane explained.
Syton nods as he smiled. She told that information without charging him some Gou. That was the perfect time to scam someone. He can't help but to sigh in his head. Stalane is still too young and naïve.
"I see. So that means, I'm just really strong enough to become a 5G rank braver already. That actually reassures me for the upcoming Brave Challenger Games."
Stalane opened her mouth as if realizing something. "Ah! That's right, there's something like that" she whispered.
Syton looked at Stalane, "Speaking of, I think you're supposed to be already in rank F or 5E. But, why are you still at rank 5H?"
When Stalane heard the question she looked away, "I had no time"
Syton chuckled, "No time? Or you didn't know?"
Stalane clicked her tongue. "Kaleigh, and the Adventurer or Bravers, that was at the forest kept me busy! Plus, how are you so sure that I might be already rank F?" She tried to change the topic.
"Because you're strong." Syton simply answered.
