Chapter 155 - (155) Meeting (1/2)

When Geth came out of his mental sphere, he found Jack's party sitting around waiting on him.

”See, I told you he would come to before the meeting,” Sindri stuck her tongue out towards the others.

Jack rolled his eyes, ”What are you talking about? You're the one who was begging to let you wake him up.”

Sindri blushed and looked away. She glanced at Geth to ensure that he wasn't laughing at her.

Geth, on the other hand, wasn't paying attention to them. He'd already left his seat and headed towards the shower.

He admired the way the room was set up. The wash area was akin to an indoor waterfall. Runes kept the water warm and filled the place with steam.

After soaking for some time, Geth donned his armor and joined the others heading towards the meeting location. He made sure to study as many of the Runes and Formations as he could on their way.

The meeting place was a small colosseum-type location further into the Dungeon. Geth took a seat near the back and waited patiently for everyone to arrive.

There were already close to twenty people in the room. As he sat down, he could feel almost every pair of eyes on him.

The section of bleacher that they were sitting on filled up quickly. The original twenty attendees had become close to fifty.

Storm had sat near the bottom of the bleachers. He was glad that she hadn't seen him when she walked in.

Geth noted a few other familiar faces while he waited. The old man, Slim, constantly looked up toward him in an irritated fashion.

'I wonder why that old man seems to hate me so much,' Geth wondered.

He tried thinking back to his high school days, but he couldn't remember Slim being a coach or teacher. He wasn't the janitor, either.

'Maybe he was someone who worked in the office,' Geth shrugged it off. He couldn't be bothered with the man's pettiness.

Sindri nudged his arm, ”Do you know what you're going to say?”

”Not really. Maybe join or die would be a good way to start,” Geth chuckled.

Sindri's face turned worried.

”I'm kidding! Though, that is probably the most accurate way to put it.”

Jack looked at him, ”I suppose that just telling them the benefits would be enough. I mean, being able to purchase spells is the same as having a better chance at survival.”

Geth nodded. He'd already told them some of the things that the Tower would be capable of when he finished conquering the Region.

”Look, there's Blade,” Rift pointed out. Blade was walking out towards a flat space in front of the bleachers.

Cough. Cough.

”Ladies and Gentlemen, I apologize for keeping you waiting. I would like to thank each of you for being here.”

Blade looked around at the crowd, his eyes lingering briefly when he spotted Geth.

”I've called this meeting to discuss moving out of the Dungeons. The-”

”Moving out of the Dungeons?! Have you gone crazy? We'll die if we are out in the wild for too long!”
