New Life Online 119 Meeting An Old Friend

As soon as we finished kinda... recruiting, we went back to the hideout like that didn't happen. Are they bad guys or not? Because evidence shows the latter. All I know is that I have to stick with them for a couple more days.

"Hey Scy, the girl woke up," Akko called Scy to check the girl.

The girl was lying in bed earlier but now after waking up, she is now sitting on top of it.

"h.e.l.lo Lady, my name is..."

*BAAAAAM!* While Scy was talking, the girl threw a kettle that was on top of one of the tables near her bed. He got hit straight to the face! That would hurt like crazy. Not only that, the kettle has boiling water in it...

"Relax... ok? We didn't recruit you just to hurt you." You use the word recruit wrong...

"Recruit, my a*s! Did you take my character's chast.i.ty while I was sleeping?!" Now I'm part of this craziness.

"No, we didn't. And even if I like to, there are a lot of people here who would stop me." And now you are messing up with her...

"d.a.m.n you! So you have the urge to do that!" This girl needs to calm down a bit.

"Stop it Scy, you are just making it worse." Akko, who's really kind, change her mood for some reason.

"That's just a payback for the hot darn on my face, thanks to my fire mastery it didn't hurt that much." Fire mastery? What are they talking about...

"Sorry about that, young lady. My name is Akko and that guy is Scy. You might think he's bad but believe me, he's a good guy. Anyway, we heard that you are excellent on what you are doing so we decided to recruit you. Do you want to join us?" Her persuasion might change the kidnapping into recruiting.

"Don't flatter me, old lady. Words won't buy my loyalty that easily!" The girl is stubborn as usual...

"Did you just!" And now she'd done it...

"Just relax Akko. This might change your mind." Scythus showed the girl the gem that is within the cave.

"What kind of gem is this?! This is the first time I saw this!" Now Scy caught her attention.

"It's pretty abundant in our guild and if you join us you will get a lot of it. The gems are really durable that it takes time to mine but it's a top secret of course." You can feel that he really is desperate.

"Just who are you to have this kind of minerals?! I've been collecting a lot of materials for some of my experiments but this one is absolutely one of the best gems!" She excitedly said. I know they look expensive but I didn't know they're that valuable.

"Next time, let people talk first ok? My name is Scythus and the leader of this guild. We don't have a name yet but we will be having one soon." So that means that this guild is only created a couple of days ago.

"You're the Scythus guy who went mad at the tournament? Dude, that's a nasty one. But do you still have that monster soul? I'm having an interest on that one." Is she creepy or what? That monster almost annihilated thousands of players...

"Sorry but that guy took off. But we will hunt him down soon and kill him over and over again. Also, I will gladly make him your test subject if you join us." It would be crazy if this girl just joins with that reason.

"Of course I agree! All of these are just a pain in the b.u.t.t but I 'm willing to join. I'm glad to be your guildmate!" Another weird one.

"That's good to hear! Here's a badge of our guild. Please keep it safe." He handed one of those badges he gave us.

After that, Scy introduced all of us to her. The guild is growing day by day. I don't want to admit but I'm having fun when I'm with them. Most of the time, we don't do anything but their craziness started to make me comfortable around them. Maybe I'm just weird like them.

It's still early like around ten am. Scy stood up.

"I guess it's my turn to find a recruit. But I have to do something first. I have to visit our friends to ask for help to build our village. This hideout is only known by those who are loyal to us." No, I'm not...

"Let's go, Zia. Make sure you won't get left behind." Why is it always have to be me?!

-West Forest, East of Icy Plains-

After saying goodbye with our guildmates, we headed out east through the forest. Are we supposed to go to some civilized place? Why are we taking the rough path?

And I remember that he has that booster and stuff like he used in the tournament. Why doesn't he just use it?

"Let's be quiet around here. I heard that there are a lot of elves around here and because humans, players, abducts them and make them their slaves, they started to get aggressive to humans." Then why the h.e.l.l did you bring me to this place in the first place!

"Humans would not do something like that..." I whispered. It's not even dark but I feel like there are eyes staring at me somewhere...

We traveled deep inside the forest. The more we go deep, the darker it gets... I think I should get back soon...

"Can you feel it? I can feel that there are lots of stares piercing through my soul... I feel uneasy as if I don't belong here. Do you want to get back soon?" Of course, I want to get back as soon as we can!

I turned around as he told me to because I'm getting a bad feeling about this place.

*KYAAAAAAAAAA!* I shouted with my entire throat's power! As soon as I turn around, an elf startled me who came from above! Holy c.r.a.p! I panicked and lost control over my body balance and suddenly my b.u.t.t hit the ground!

"What's with her? Do I really look scary?" The elf guy talked? Why does he talk so casually with Scy? Do they know each other?!

"Haha! That was a good one, Elf guy! You scared the c.r.a.p out of her!" I really hate this guy! Bully!

"Ugh... So what is your business here? You should have just used the flute the leader gave you so you can just send someone if you need help." Scy helped me get up after that prank...

"Well, I need to talk to the elf leader because this will be urgent news. I'm pretty sure you guys are not yet aware of that. As your tribe would be one of the targets." He seemed to be looking serious. This must be really important for him.

"Is that really bad? Let's go then. Our tribe is near around here."

The Elf guy guided us to where their tribe is.
