An Early Reunion

Miss Prim rolled her eyes and crossed legs.

"So what? What's my age to you?" Miss Prim raises her eyebrow and looked at me.

"You can only guess" Miss Prim groaned and rested her head against the counter.

"Then what are we going to do today? I'm already bored! I wanna do something!" I chopped her head with my hand.

"Stop whining! I'm going to train today, we all gotta become strong if we want to survive longer. Have you noticed that there is no immediate danger around us? That might change instantly because of the system. So whilst I train, you can...do what ever" I stretched my limbs and walked over to by bedroom.

Following me was Miss Prim, her eyes shined with curiosity. I sighed, I didn't know I had an audience.

I crawled on my bed and sat in a crossed legged position. Wait, do I even need to be in this position? Can I do it in another more comfortable one?

Instead of sitting crossed legged, laid down on my bed and started the process. I attacked my body with mana. But since my body had improved since then, I had to amplify the mana until it slightly hurt.

Now that I had the amount of mana ready, I started sending mana waves through my body.

Mana wave after mana wave, my body ached. This was taking too long! I have to increase the mana amount so I can improve faster. At this rate I'll barely be able to- wait! I remembered something.

When I was being invited into that strange cult, I had read about some things in the library. They said that if your exposed to mana waves for too long then you might lose your sanity.

Whilst I do want to improve faster, I need to be careful. One small slip and I might go berserk.

But at the same time, I live for these kinds of things. The thrill of the unknown and danger! Adrenaline pumped through my body and I started increasing the amount of mana by a small sliver.

I noticed the difference and it immediately hurt way more. But I persisted!

I think I should stop now...

I can't feel anything!

I looked at a window and found the sun beginning to hide behind the horizon. My chest started heaving up and down. I don't think I can do it for a few day, my body needs some rest.

I got up from my bed and looked at the sleeping girl at the bottom of my bed. I smiled at her clumsiness, she must've slept whist watching me.

I carried her back and legs in a princess carry and placed her on my bed. I grabbed my sheets and carefully tucked her in.

I looked at the sleeping beauty lying down on my bed. She looked so comfortable, I wanted to join her. But sadly I couldn't imagine what I might wake up to. So I leaned my head next to her cheek and kissed it.

"I know your awake..." I whispered a hushed message to her ears and turned around to leave, not giving a second for her to react.

I closed the door to my bedroom and went to the couch. Luckily the white blanket was here to warm me for the night.

As I was about to sleep, from the bedroom, I heard a muffled scream of embarrassment.

...

Me and Miss Prim walked out of the apartment complex, we had just experienced a morning full of silent laughter and a embarrassed teacher.

As soon I woke up, I went out to buy food with the few money the guild had gave me and whilst I left, Miss Prim woke up.

As soon as I came back with food that adjudicators had sold, I was greeted with a scared Miss Prim that clung onto me. I guess she dosen't do well on her own, I'll remember that for later.

Once we had finished our breakfast we continued as planned and started wandering around the city. Since I hadn't explored the city, I decided to take note of the buildings and housing. A particular shop had struck an interest in me, but Miss Prim had dragged me away before I could take a closer look. I'll check that later.

The hours went by and Miss Prim didn't have my monstrous stamina so we took breaks often. I was honestly having fun travelling around the city, sightseeing. I was never one to sightsee but I guess I should do it more often.

As noon came, we sat tiredly in a random restaurant. We just ordered randomly or what seemed good, but I guess that was too much for our budget. So instead we ordered the cheapest things and surprisingly it was delicious!

It was plain ramen but it was properly cooked to perfection!

We exited the shop and continued our walk through the busy city. To not be tried, these residents were pretty strong. As I inspected nearly all of the people we passed by, most not if all had stats over 50 in all.

I guess it truely was the survival of the fittest. A new non-profound excitement erupted in my heart. I wanted to get strong fast!

As we kept adventuring through the city, the hot sun kept shining on my body so I was growing a bit sweaty. Miss Prim's body on the other hand was drenched with sweat. I guess we all have our limits.

And I guess some limits are how long we can spend in the sun, which is kinda pathetic.

We returned to the apartment complex empty handed. We didn't find any trace of Haruka or their group.

"Should we search tomorrow again? We still have 14 days after today until the entrance exam. What do you say?" Miss Prim's groaned, she was too tired so I had to piggyback her.

"I dunno...Will I even see them again? I know we will see them once again at the entrance exam, but he would've spent all those days with those girls...Quinn?"

"Yeah?"

"What's attractive about me?" I hummed as I thought. I was still think for a pretty long time and Miss Prim started getting angry.

"Answer me! Why is it taking you that long!" I chuckled and smiled at her. We were nearly my room so I put her down.

"Do you really want to know?" Miss Prim hesitantly nodded.

I was about to talk but a heard a loud shout from next door. I didn't care about the volume of the shout or the amount of people shouting, but about the context.

"HARUKA!!! Let's party!" From next door, me and Miss Prim had heard 3 young girl's shouts...

Shit...

I looked at Miss Prim...

She looked back at me with an empty look. I could see she was asking me to do something so I grabbed the room's card and opened my room. She slowly walked in, dragging her feet as she went.

I could only look at her with sympathy and a pained expression. I closed the door and started walking to my neighbour's.

*KNOCK* *KNOCK*

I heavily banged the door with my hand.

"Yes?..." A man of green hair opened the door. His yellow eyes shined bright with a bit of gold and white. He looked up at me with a face of curiosity.

Before I said or did anything...

I sucker punched him in the face.

"Long time no see, Haruka"
