New Life Online 142 Leion's Headache

What the?! I was so surprised that I accidentally dropped the sword and my armor returned to its original form and the wings also disappeared. The sword became a stone sword once again... Am I imagining things again?!

"That's rude... why did you drop me?"

"KYAAAAAAH" I screamed out of surprised! I heard a lady's voice out of nowhere!

"Stop with that shout of yours. I'm the sword... can you pick me up again?" What?! I must be hallucinating again! I probably need to slap someone again!

"Jeez... pick me up... the sword." I have so many questions right now but I never thought I would ask myself why on every earth am I listening to a stone sword...

As I picked up the stone sword, it once again changed into the magical sword and my armor and wings returned!

"What is happening right now? And what the heck are you?" I asked curiously...

"I have no name. I am just a sword looking for an owner. There are a lot of people who were tested by me but failed to wake up. Of course, they died but they deserve it. But you did not only escape death but also completed the test. You will be my new master." I have no idea what is going on...

"Oh, I'm really sorry but I'll put you back to the altar and you have to find another owner. Your stone form is just too heavy and people might think I'm weird. So see you and have fun finding someone else." I'm too lazy to carry something like that... I should just get out of here... but how...

"Why are you rejecting me? I'm offering you something that so many would desire!" Jeez... why can't she just let me go... I am going to buy a dagger soon so a sword won't really a help.

"I know I felt an incredible power earlier but you see, I'm using a dagger and you're a sword. I can use you but I can't swing you as fast as a dagger and as I said, it's really tiresome carrying you around... By the way, would you mind telling me how can I get out of here?" This place is creeping me out... really...

"What nonsense! I will tell you where the exit is but you have to let me be your one and only weapon." Hmmm... If she's just a sword then I can carry her with me and leave her behind after getting out... Yeah, that's the best choice.

"Ok fine. Just tell me where the exit is."

"You need to carry me first." She replied...

"Ok ok..." I opened my backpack and looked for something to tie her up around my back. So I carried her and I knew it... she's so heavy! I can't even move my legs properly!

"Ready to go?" She asked.

"Yeah. Just let me out of here."

I felt like there's a magic flowing into the air and then suddenly...

*SWOOOOs.h.!.+* I'm already outside of the cave! My eyes got hurt by the sunlight! Did she use teleportation technique?! So she's not going to let me out from the start!

"How did you do that?!"

"This place is my home so I can teleport from the entrance to that secret place and vice versa." Wow, that's really convenient, for you I guess.

"Well, that was good." I tried to untie her behind my back and then slowly dropped her to the ground. Now time to run!

I am now running as fast as I can and never looked back. I would never go to that place again! Woah! Oh, I forgot about my teammates! So I decided to turn back and saw something flying towards me... is it a bird or something?

WAAAAAAAH! It's a flying stone sword with wings! She won't just leave me alone for heaven's sake!

"Stop! Why are you following me?!" The sword finally stopped after getting near me.

"Why are you asking me why I'm following you? You promised me that you are going to carry me for the rest of your life." Did I really say that? And I can't remember saying I promised something!

"Of course I will never leave you. It's just that I have to find a lady's room... because I have to do what girls do in a lady's room. Teehee..." I said trying to find a good reason why I ran like crazy...

"We all know that there's no need to pee in this game... so your excuse is unacceptable." Holy c.r.a.p... who designs a game even things are smart! Even a freaking sword...

"Haha. I was joking. Well, I'm just looking for my friends you know because they might think I'm still trapped somewhere." I replied trying not to look suspicious...

"You are running the opposite direction... This way is inside the cave. I will let you off this time. Just to remind you, if this happens again, I will gladly cut your legs in this game over and over again like in that dream of yours..." I'm... speechless...

"Ha...ha... that's a nice joke... anyway let me carry you again and let's find my teammates..." Even in games, h.e.l.l is real...

I called out for them from the entrance of the cave. They somehow heard me and we regrouped. They asked me what happened but I told them that I found a way out but can't find where it is. Also, they are wondering why I carry a large stone and I told them that it was just a souvenir for the trip. Seriously... Who would carry a heavy stone sword souvenir?! I really want to cry!

We decided to continue our small journey to the Order of Light Guild without any problems to buy our things. This thing is really heavy though...

-Scy's Guild-

*Leion's POV*

My Idol said that we have today as our free time which I think we can do what we want to do but I need more training. We trained really hard with that Crystal Dragon but it's not enough for me. My family's sword style won't become popular if I can't become the best swordsman! I have to train more. I've been training since I was a kid and I mastered my family's sword style in just a couple of years and my grandfather thinks that I'm a genius who can become the greatest swordsman in real life but I need more training. To become...

"Uhmmm Leion, do you have any plans in mind for today?" Someone interrupted me while thinking... His name is Ave if I remember it clearly. Why is he asking me something while looking at the other direction? I checked what he's looking at and it's a bird... why is he looking at a bird...

"Oh, I was meditating a while ago. Do you have something in mind?" I asked but he's not answering and just chasing the bird with his eyes...

"Hey, are you listening to me?" I said a bit loud to get his attention back...

"What?! Oh, sorry! That surprised me. I was distracted by something. Haha. What are you saying again?" Why the h.e.l.l did you ask me something and not freaking stay focused on what we are talking about?! That bird isn't that special and just the same as the other birds!

"I'm asking you if you have something in mind..." Then I looked at him again and I realized how annoying this guy is...

"Aw aw aw!" While I'm pinching his cheek... This guy...

"Sorry sorry... Please let me go..." I released him and sighed a bit...

"Did you log in just now?! I told you I don't want you being late!" It's already three pm and he should have been finished with his lunch a long time... and he has the nerve to interrupt my thoughts.

"Well, I think it is fine. We have nothing to do for now so I guess it's alright to be late. Just stay focus..." I decided to let go of him.

Selene is pretty busy building a pub or something. Zhix also is helping them and I think he's aiming to sell some stuff too... And I'm stuck with this distracted fellow that is now playing with a stone... a normal stone he picked up just now and who's always late. I should be training by now...

"Oh, I have an Idea. Guild Leader Scy said that if we kill something, we can earn gold coins. What if we hunt something and train at the same time? It's like killing two birds with one stone right?" Well, that's a good idea but I don't think that the others can join us. He's not dumb as I expected.

"Well, how about you call the others who are available and let's hunt something? Also, why are you calling Scy "Guild Leader Scy" but you called me only Leion?!" I asked a bit p.i.s.sed.

"It's kinda weird calling someone so small "Team Leader" or "Sir" right?" I feel like I want to smack his face off...

"Ok fine. Just call me Leion. Just call them and we'll go as soon as we are ready." I ordered. I want to train more! I'm too excited!

After 30 minutes of waiting...

"I'm back! I got them!"...

*BAAAAM!* I smacked his head really hard...

"Awww! Not the head! And why did you do that?!" He asked angrily...

"You've only talked to two people and you spent thirty minutes just by asking them to join us?! Why are you always taking so long?!" He's really annoying...

"Well... I... I don't know..." This guy is really weird!

"Enough with that... So anyone of you wants to hunt something?" I asked.

"Well, the only places around here are this Forest, Rocky Mountains, Elf Village, Icy Fields, and North Gra.s.sland. We can't hunt anything around Elf Village because they get their food by killing animals around their village so if we hunt there, it would lessen their food source. The Rocky Mountains also is a bad choice because we might as well be raided again by some strong monsters like what happened to Team Akko and Team Scy. So our only choice is to go to North Gra.s.sland or Icy Fields." Ave... I think that's our only choice huh... Since when did he become so knowledgeable?

"Well let's go with the Icy Fields. Yeti is not that bad of a hunting zone. North Gra.s.sland, if I'm not wrong, has only weak monsters so we won't be really getting enough exp from them so it would be better if we hunt in the Icy fields. Off we go!" I said and one has any negative reaction so we started moving out.

-The Boundary of Icy Fields and West Forest-

After a couple of minutes, we are almost at the Icy Fields. Snow covered the place and there are still some trees here. The coldness in Icy Field isn't really that dangerous unlike in the Icy Mountains. We can still fight good enough even if we got slow down by the coldness and the terrain properties.

Hmmmm? I sensed something and as we check what it is... a group of wolves came out... It's time for training!

"Let's start hunting!" I ordered them.
