After finishing their talk, the whole class went to eat dinner together. It was delicious. Soon after that, Hiroki and his friends decided to go to their rooms and get some rest, as also the others have already started going to bed.
During their dinner, professor Pertina told them about their plans for tomorrow. They would do the same as today. Three groups go into a dungeon, while the others wait. But this time the time a party could stay inside a dungeon was increased to one hour. The two parties that were waiting in the meantime would do some combat training with professor Pertina. She also told them that they were only allowed to fight on the first floor, as they are still too inexperienced and need to gain some experience points. After leveling up, professor Pertina would judge personally if they were ready to go one floor deeper into the dungeon.
Obviously, Hiroki whispered to his friends, that they would break the rules once again and already start on the second floor tomorrow morning.
They got up from the table and walked upstairs. There they immediately searched for their room and entered it. As soon as they entered, Eichi rushed toward his bed and jumped straight at it.
He dropped into the bed as if he had no energy at all. He was already almost falling asleep. His brother Aiko had to wake him up with a flick to the back of his head because they had promised to have a little meeting before bedtime. They all sat on their beds and started talking. They discussed about today and also asked Hiroki about doubts they had when it came to combat and fighting against bigger monsters like the goblin. Hiroki tried his best to give them helpful answers, and if he didn't know how to explain something, he just used his powers and showed them visually.
But this serious talk soon turned into a fun and joking conversation between friends.
Shortly before they wanted to go to sleep, Aiko said.
"Oh, what a pity... our Mr. husband here must sleep for the next days without his dear Miss. Then there will be no conjugal bed sport for poor Hiroki for once.... what a pity...." Aiko took the opportunity to pay Hiroki back. After all, the latter had made a monkey out of Aiko when they were still in the dungeon. However, you could also feel a little bit of jealousy in Aiko's words. It longed him namely also for female company, just like his brother.
But Hiroki countered these words skillfully.
"Well, actually I wanted to make you and me, since we are alone today, a great gift. I was planning to summon your favorite anime waifus so that you can... you know... can have fun with them.
But if you're going to be that mean to me, I might as well let it go. Good night." Hiroki simulated going to sleep as he pulled the blanket over his body.
Hearing this, they deeply regretted what they had said before. They tried with all means to change their friend's mind, but unfortunately without success.
"Pleaseeeee! The before was only fun. We are happy for you that you have such a beautiful wife. So be a good colleague and do us this favor. Just this once." Eichi even went down on his knees. He had been dreaming of this moment for years and could not believe that it would not happen.
All their begging didn't help, unfortunately, because Hiroki stuck to his decision.
'Oh guys, don't be so sad. Soon you will find the ladies of your hearts.... trust me. And even more than one...' But Hiroki didn't speak these thoughts, otherwise, it felt like he was spoiling something important.
Defeated, Aiko and Eichi had to go to bed without being in the company of a woman. Hiroki also went to sleep. Soon the whole house was in their dreamland.
The whole house? Of course not!
Hiroki had awakened Gaia via telepathy. They both had created clones to sleep in their place in the house. They themselves teleported back to their own house and had fun.
It looked like this fun would not end until dawn.
The next morning, they were awakened by the sound of trumpets. When they went downstairs, everything was already set for breakfast and so they started eating.
Hiroki recommended they eat a lot because they needed a lot of energy for the upcoming dungeon. They took this advice to heart and ate as if they would not get any more food for the next month.
With a full belly, they set off towards the dungeons a little later.
Once there, the group immediately began to split up again. This time it was Hiroki's party that had to wait outside.
They spent the time chatting with Professor Pertina. They talked to her about all sorts of things. But above all, she wanted to know how much they had enjoyed the trip so far.
They all answered that they liked it very much.
"It is very nice and interesting. It's also much safer because otherwise to level up you would have to fight in dungeons that might not be as safe as this one. Especially with the bracelets we got from the academy." As Gaia shared her opinion, she pointed to the gold bracelet around her left arm.
Hiroki and the others also wore the same bracelet.
Professor Pertina had given each student one of these. These bracelets were made by the academy, especially for these dungeons.
They were something like life insurance. Because if someone would be mortally wounded in the dungeon, this bracelet would activate and teleport said student outside. In addition, it also has very strong healing powers, making it impossible to die, even with fatal injuries.
This was another point why leveling here was so luxurious, and why the trip is very important for all students.
If the students had to level the way Hiroki had to, then probably 50% of the students would already be dead or so badly injured that they would never be able to fight again.
Due to them talking the whole time, the hour flew by and the other parties started appearing from the dungeons' entrances. Some of them looked really bad, as they had bruises all over their bodies, but Hiroki's party didn't care at all. They were now focused on entering the dungeon and leveling up.
