Chereads / Kaen / Chapter 14 - Dungeon

Chapter 14 - Dungeon

The next two days of our finals were the same throughout, repetitively. We went to school, wrote our papers, did our magical practical's (although my sister had high grades in that, I didn't even have a chance to test…)

Finally finished all our work and went back home. (straight to sleep I go)

Our parent's didn't come back to us either.

They didn't say they were going leave to off to somewhere. It came to both of us shockingly so.

I didn't expect it in the slightest, never would I have thought they would up and go as they pleased. Plus, I haven't seen my father in quite a while prior to them leaving.

It could be possible that they have something urgent to be done and wasn't able to tell us in advance.

But my gut feeling tells me it's a completely different reason.

At least, I'm not worried about it at the moment. We have plenty of food that'd last both of us for at least a few more months. And even more if we have to ration it properly.

Now that our exams are finish, I don't need to worry about learning anymore. Maybe I should find some work to get some money just in case?

Bang! Door opened to my room violently!

"kaen! Kaen! You awake? Kaen?! Where is he?"

Scuffled my voice while under my covers and pillow

"I-I'm here, y-you scare me you know, why did you open the door like that!"

My heart jumped out of body for a second…

"scared? Pheww, skoff cough!"

She just laughed didn't she…

"anyway what do you want?"

"oh yeah kaen, they told us at the academy that we have to come to the dungeon tomorrow"

Huh?

"dungeon? Why? Didn't we finish already"

it makes no sense. Why didn't I hear about this?

"No apparently we finished all of our studies but we only finished about half of our magical tests. We did 2 magic practices and 1 magic studies test, but we still have to do on field practice."

Oh now I see, makes sense that'd we would require an "on field" test.

But why didn't nobody tell me about this? I've never heard of until now.

"ugh, so one more day of this?" I've never been more disappointed…

"yeah, they also said to bring your equipment and any items that can help you"

Hmm… really they said that!? I had no idea…

"ahh ok, I forgot about it, I'll get start getting ready for it now."

"I knew it, you really did forget, no wonder why you were so relaxed the whole time, start getting ready now, you'll need way more equipment than the rest of us so take a lot! Also ask me if you need anything."

Hahh…She thinks that'd I'll be in danger tomorrow, so she's asking me to protect myself indirectly. (I totally have a smug look right now)

"ok I will, you don't need to worry about me, if anything dangerous comes my way I'll just run, okay"

"stupid, who said I was worried about you, idiot!"

She leaves with a pouting face and with somewhat visible fumes of clouds coming out of her ears.

"sigh* she's so easy to figure out…"

I should get ready for tomorrow as well. she's got a point there. I don't want to get into a problem or run into something I'm unprepared for.

I should take the necessary precautions. I definitely want to live especially after finishing school at that hell hole.

After the dungeon tomorrow, I'll look for an errand job from one of our neighbours…maybe that shop keeper by sector 10, what was his name…something kay or day…

At the time, I didn't know what was going to happen the next day…

But that day, changed my life completely and forced me take this path…

The path I cannot escape…

Destined to change fate…
