Three days after William and Est cleared the trial, their group finally left the Holy Temple.
Although William was feeling down that he suddenly got nerfed, he decided to not think too much about it. The group was currently taking a short break by the river, before continuing their journey downstream.
'It's only five years,' William thought as he swam on the river. "Once those five years are over, I'll charge down the road in order to become the OP Protagonist!"
Perhaps it was due to his frustrations, but he said the last sentence out loud.
Ian who was cooling his feet by the riverside wasn't able to resist the urge to bring him down a peg.
"OP Protagonist? Do you think you're some kind of Hero in a fairy tale?" Ian said in disdain.
William angrily glared at his mortal enemy and swam in his direction.
"Hey, are you really a boy?" William asked. As he stood a few meters away from Ian. "How come you're acting like you're always having a period?"
