Chapter 77：Good Deed (1/2)

It was the same routine as last time. All the students were to meet at the city gate. We then got split into three sperate groups and each group went to a different area. Each group would hunt in the same area for a month before switching, so our group was heading to the forest again.

When we all met up, I could see that everyone's equipment had improved. Gary, Monk, Kyle and Ian now had basic tier beast equipment rather than standard equipment. Slyvia was using her own intermediate shield rather than the Voli bear crystal I gave her.

I didn't mind what she did with it. I gave it to her as a thank you for helping me out after all.

On the walk over to the forest, some of my roommates kept coming up to me and saying thank you.

”Ray I can't believe what you did. Thank you.” Monk said.

”You're the best!” Kyle exclaimed.

”I knew you had a caring side,” Gary said as he slapped me on the back.

”When I can, I'll pay you back.” Big Ian said.

I was completely confused about what was happening. When I looked over, I could see Martha and Slyvia giggling away. I went over as I guessed they might have some idea of what was going on.

”Look at the big softie coming over,” Martha said.

Martha then quickly left to walk by Monk, leaving me and Slyvia on our own.

”So I'm guessing this has something to do with you?” I asked

”Well remember that Voli crystal you gave me? I decided to sell it. I already had a good shield so I didn't need another one. Then I gave the money to the whole group.”

”Okay, but then why are they thanking me?”

”Because it was your crystal duh. It was Martha's idea to say it was a gift from you and that you were too shy so you asked us to do it.”

I stayed silent for a while. I wasn't annoyed because as I said, Slyvia was free to do what she wanted with the crystal. It was just awkward everyone thanking me for a good deed that I never intended to do. Although this also wasn't a bad thing, perhaps the others could owe me for this in the future.

Slyvia noticed the change in my demeanour as I contemplated how to use this situation to my advantage and mistook my concentration for anger. ”You're not angry, are you?” She queried.

”No, you're the leader and you're just looking out for your group. I was just thinking it was the right decision to make you the leader. I would have never done something like that.”

Slyvia started to blush and quickly scurried ahead of everyone else.

Just then, Gary came and knocked into me.

”Hey tell me…there isn't something going on between you and Slyvia is there?”

”What do you mean by going on?”

”Forget it man. You are denser than a plank of wood. Just don't forget about my sister okay?”

Gary's sister Amy was the first person who hadn't treated me like a monster. She was currently studying at Roland academy. I realised now that Slyvia reminded me a lot of Amy. I wonder how Amy is doing at Roland academy.
