Chapter 43 Dreams...

Standing outside Lia's room, Mel (Lia's maid) is currently looking at her watch. After a while she nodded her head and then knocked on the door.

But no answer came back. She waited for a few seconds then knocked again but a bit louder this time. Still there was no effect.

This time she didn't wait and directly opened the door. Walking towards Lia's bed, she ignored the photos on the wall of a certain Black haired boy.

She looked at the sleeping girl, who seems to be having a very happy dream and spoke:

"Milady, it's time to wake up." (Mel)

Lia's dream:

Lia was praying in a temple when suddenly, a god, who looked like an old man heared her heart-felt prayers:

"Say child, what do you want?" (Old man)

"Old man! Give me a weapon to defeat that evil demon, Rio! He has been doing all type of perverted things to innocent young maidens, i must punish him!" (Lia)

"Y-yeah, take this divine hunter then, it will give you unparalleled strength, every demon will be defeated by it's power instantly" (old man)

After giving that hunter to Lia, the old man disappeared in a hurry, as if he was running away or maybe he really was running away.

Lia looked at the divine artifact and felt it's incredible power, her happiness knew no bounds at this moment.

"Just you wait! You vile demon i will make you beg for forgiveness! I will take ten times the revenge for all the crimes you have committed! Hahahaha..." (Lia)

Suddenly Lia saw Mel coming in the prayer hall, she is currently wearing the clothes of a high ranked priestess.

"What happened, Mel?" (Lia)

"Milady, the demons are kidnapping young maidens from the church again." (Mel)

"Heh, so those vile demons are here already, let's go, i will beat them into pulp today." (Lia)

"Milady, they have already left, though" (Mel)

"Eh, but you just said..." (Lia)

"Their leader, the demon king Rio seems to have found the holy pants of milady, thus they retreated." (Mel)

Lia suddenly woke up from the sheer shock:

"Wha-what! Who stole my pants!?" (Lia)

Mel replied without any emotions:

"Nobody, Milady" (Mel)

Lia looked around and finally came to the realisation that she has suddenly screamed something embarrassing, her face instantly became red like a tomato.

"F-forget wh-what you heard..." (Lia )

Mel fixed her glasses and replied:

"Yes, Milady. I will definitely alert the gaurds to keep eye and not let anyone steal your pants" (Mel)

"I said forget it! Why would they gaurd my pants! Now go out already!" (Lia)

Lia hurriedly pushed Mel out of her room and closed the door, her face became redder than before.

She looked at the photo on the wall and a word left her mouth unconsciously:

"Pervert Rio...." (Lia)

Fade's Pov

Fade is currently in his dorm room, playing games in his mobile. Today he had suffered from bad luck. He wasn't able to get anything from that dungeon. Thus his mood is very bad today, he parted with Kira earlier than usual. And came back to the dorm in order to releive the anger by playing games.

Without him noticing he spent his whole night playing and didn't even sleep.

Looking at the time now it's already morning:

'tsk, i didn't even notice it. And it's already morning. I wonder when I will become strong enough to make the sun set and rise according to my will.' (Fade)

Shaking his head, Fade decided to sleep now. Anyway it's holiday there's no need to worry about being late for academy.

Fade got up from the sofa and laid down on his bed to sleep. He drifted off to the dream world the very moment he laid down. His sleeping talent is no joke.

He wouldn't have been punished for sleeping in the class on the very first day, if not for this ability of his. Fade can literally sleep anytime as long as he wants to.

The only unfortunate thing is that luck doesn't applies to what kind of dream you will have. (I don't know the reason behind it. Consider it a plot hole.) (•∆•)

Fade's dream:

Fade found he was sitting at a seat inside a cafe or something. He didn't confirmed it. But since other people are also eating while sitting he decided to do the same.

He picked up the cold drink and poured it in a glass. Just as he was about to lift it up to drink, he heared a voice that shook him to the core.

"One glass for me too." (Rio)

"Wh-when did you ca-" (Fade)

"Oh, i just arrived." (Rio)

"O-okay" (Fade)

Fade poured cold-drink in another glass too with his shaking hands, though.

'why am I feeling this emotion!? even though I had promised myself to not fear anything after defeating those bullies!' (Fade)

" Hey, I heard you were eyeing Lia. Do you believe I will not gauge out those eyes of yours?" (Rio)

Fade felt his heart palpitating, he clearly felt his heart stop beating for a second.

"I-i-...." (Fade)

[Ding! It so detected that the host is suffering from trauma]

[Proceeding to wake host from the trauma!]

Fade instantly got up and started to pant heavily. He started to use his mana in order to calm down his body. Eventually the shaking of his hands also stopped.

"Damn it! It was that same nightmare again!" (Fade)

Fade got up from his bed and walked towards toward the sofa. Sitting at the sofa he breathed a sigh of relief.

'Ever since that day when I met that guy Rio, I have been having these nightmares, even though I have long stopped looking at Lia, sigh~' (Fade)

Rex mansion, Link's private training hall.

Link looked at the practice dummies and waved his fist casually. With a single casual fist, cracks appeared on the dummies.

This is when he didn't directly hit the dummies, the air pressure created by his fist attack alone was strong enough to do this much. Yet his expression is not satisfied at all.

'This is not enough, I need to focus a bit on my speed too.' (Link)

Link suddenly remembered his fight with a certain fellow classmate, whose speed was just too fast.

Not to mention Every attack of that guy was fast, it was also extremely precise and strong. It felt as if that guy's all stats were too high. Even though they are in the same rank.

Link looked at his hand which was previously cut off on half by that last attack. He still remembers that vivid pressure created by the compression of the mana.

'Even though I have already analyzed that attack several time, but i am not sure if I can fully defend against it yet.' (Link)

Thinking back to that moment. Link ended up exhausted after his final attack but Rio still had enough energy to leave the place without getting caught by the teachers. The more he thinks about him the more mysterious he seems.

But that doesn't mean Link will admit defeat so easily. He is confident in his talent and knows that he can win as long as he works hard enough.

'Let's change to stronger dummies or maybe I should visit a dungeon instead. Just you wait, i will one day beat you black and blue Rio!' (Link)

Rio's POV

'Hmm, why do I feel as if someone is talking about me behind my back?' (Rio)

Rio shook his head and cleared his mind from these unimportant thoughts. He looked at forward, a huge mountain appeared in his vision.

This mountain is covered in snow and there are even more tree on this mountain than the previous one. Rio's mood became solemn after looking at those trees.

Rio looked at the card and found that the card was pointing at the mountain and was glowing brighter then before, which clearly symbolised that his destination is at the top of his mountain.

Ever since the trees has betrayed me last time, I have become really cautious of them but there's no place to avoid them on that mountain.

'I hope, this whole mountain doesn't end up blasting me to death.' (Rio)

Without Ruo's knowledge he have left a deep impression on the characters and his interference has caused several small changes. But overall, the flow of main plot is still progressing without much delay and it will remain the same in the future too, maybe.

.

1. Yeah

2. No

3. I don't know, i am enjoying Fade's suffering.
