Chapter 150: Second Meeting

The man sitting on the stone looked up in surprise. That was a voice that he couldn't forget if he'd tried.

"Geth?!"

The man halfway fell off the boulder he was sitting on, gaining his footing before hitting the ground.

"You didn't travel very far after our last encounter," Geth stated. He wouldn't be rude to the man, but he definitely wouldn't be polite, either.

Blade looked down at his feet, "This place is still home to me. I couldn't bring myself to just leave it behind."

A moment of awkward silence ensued. Geth waited for the man to say more while Blade just stared at the ground.

"You two... already know each other?" The silence was broken by Jack. The other students gossiped tales about their possible relationship.

Most of the quickly spreading whispers pinned Geth as the bad guy. He shook his head at their naivety.

Blade answered before Geth had the chance, "Yes. Geth here saved my life a while back. He also taught me a valuable lesson. I wouldn't be standing here if it weren't for him."

Geth raised one of his eyebrows. He didn't expect any favorable sentiment from the guy.

The whispers from the school kids started to grow louder. Even Sindri joined in on the fun.

"See, I told you he was a hero," She quipped as she elbowed Storm in the side.

Geth could see the woman's eye twitch slightly. Storm had never been one for a lot of disruption.

'Well, she hasn't changed a bit,' He thought.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

"Alright! Everyone quiet down!" Her voice echoed loudly throughout the clearing. The sound drowned out the constant jabbering of the almost hundred kids there.

'A sound-based Skill..?' Geth was quite interested, 'I wonder if that has something to do with a teacher-type Class?'

Geth usually wasn't bothered by people's actions, but this guy was getting on his nerves. He used State Change before anyone had a chance to think about the man's question.

Mud rapidly rose from the ground and encased the man in an egg-like shape. Geth then hardened the earth into bars, creating a giant birdcage.

Once it was formed, he hardened the bars from the inside, making the structure as strong as a jail cell. Everyone jumped at the sudden emergence of the cage.

"What the hell is this?!"

The old man went into a small fit of rage and began to beat on the bars. Geth knew that he was a Strength build, so it would make his point all the better.

"I wrapped myself in solid earth and waited until the explosion was over. I was still injured by the monster's self-destruction, but I survived," He explained.

"Let me out of this damn thing! If you don't let me out righ-"

Geth snapped his fingers and completely entombed the man in the earth. He looked at the others standing around in amazement.

"How do you put up with him?"

Blade was the one that responded, "Well, after putting up with someone as sick as Thorn for a month, Slim isn't that bad. He's a bit of an ass, but he cares about the kid's safety."

Geth flicked his fingers, dissolving the cage in which the old man had been wrapped. Slim gasped for breath as soon as he was free.

"Well, if you're done with your questions, I have something to ask all of you." Geth looked at the rest.

"Would you like to become citizens of my city? I can see that you are handling yourself well down here, but many dangers are coming our way."

Geth looked at Blade.

"I'm also extending this invitation to you, though you'll be monitored closely for a while. Many benefits come with citizenship, and I'll be happy to explain all of them to you if you can get everyone together."

The five teachers present and Blade each looked at one another. Slim just silently sulked to the side, but he didn't argue. Everyone nodded, and Blade gave his response.

"Alright, we can have a proper discussion back at the Dungeon."
