Chapter: 435
“Hmm, well ok then… but don’t force me to have lessons, I have lots of things to do.” Jay shrugged.
“What the fuck… what the absolute fuck…” Viladore thought, but continued to smile. Jay was the first adventurer to treat Viladore like a disposable object; he didn’t know how to feel.
After a slight pause, Viladore was ready to speak again.
“Sure,” he said with a shit-eating grin, “just speak to Margaret and she’ll bring you to your room.”
“Awesome. Thanks.” Jay got up with a smile, “Getting to dungeons near here will be way quicker now.”
“You’re not supposed to…. Never mind.” Viladore shook his head, “Welcome.” he nodded while pursing his lips, and politely gestured for Jay to leave.
Viladore was oddly clenching his jaw, but Jay didn’t put too much thought into it as he left.
“What the fuck… I wonder if he was hit on the head as a child? Dammit… now I have to pay for two rooms.” Viladore wore a defeated smile across his face as he opened his drawer once more, staring at his growing black cube.
Jay left the room, feeling strange. For some reason he felt like he was being taken advantage of, even though logically, on paper, he had won out.
“Weird old man… that seemed a little forced…” he thought as he began walking back to Margaret.
“I should definitely check my room for hidden magic moving-image recorders…”
“I’m not saying Viladore is that kinda man… but just in case.”
Jay could only guess at what Viladore’s strange over-enthusiasm was about.
From Jay’s perspective, Viladore didn’t even seem to care that he may not attend lessons, but was oddly passionate about him staying there.
It didn’t really make sense.
Margaret came out of the back room with a key for Jay.
“Here you go dear. You’re actually going to be in the room next to Naria.”
“Oh? Well… don’t tell her. We’ll let it be a surprise.” Jay smiled, though his thoughts were different.
“Damn… I don’t want some little girl distracting me… at least she doesn’t talk.” he thought, as he turned to the exit.
“Well, I’ll see you later Margaret. If there’s any trouble I’ll let you know.”
“Bye now.”.
Heading out of the association, Anya was now standing near some other ranged-base adventurers, giving tips and feedback to them as they attacked, while judging their weapons too.
As Jay stepped out of the building, Anyaa looked up, waving bye to the others and joining Jay’s side.
“Hey.” Jay nodded as he kept walking towards the floating mana-stone gate.
