188 Strategy (1/2)

As they finished their dinner Ryuu was about to pay the bill, only to be stopped by Frozen Flames, ”You are our junior and we invited you as such let me pay.”

Ryuu reluctantly relented at that, well mostly under a glare from Frozen Flames, 'Oh well free lunch if nothing else.'

As they left the restaurant Lu Wu suddenly spoke, ”Teacher what are we going to do now.”

Frozen Sky spoke with a smile, ”My dear martial niece we will be touring the city a bit.”, she turned towards Ryuu as she asked, ”Junior would be accompanying us.”

Ryuu shook his head as he replied, ”As much as I would love to accompany you all, but unfortunately I have some work to do as such may be next time.”

Frozen Sky: ”Well it is a shame then maybe next time.”

With that as they were about to part ways, all of a sudden Ryuu stopped them, ”Excuse before we part ways I would like to ask something if you all would not mind.”

At that they all stopped before looking at Ryuu with curious eyes as Frozen Flames spoke, ”What do you want to ask junior?”

Ryuu: ”Nothing much just if I occupy the top of the bunk bed near the door is there any problem?”

Aliyah and Alhma looked at each other before they spoke in unison, ”We do not have any problem fellow Daoist.”

With that Ryuu started making way towards his room where as the others went on with their city tour.

As Ryuu made his way into to the room his mind went back to the conversation he had with his future teammates and their teachers, 'hmmm, I know I am stronger than them and I may be more knowledgeable when compare to them, but I lack experience but that does not mean I will let them dictate me as they please I have learnt from my experience during my last expedition what lack of knowledge could cost. Oh well I will have to finish the arrays before catching some much needed nap.'

Ryuu quickly made a few more talismans each for variety of functions ranging from simple paralysis to barriers to much needed lethal ones before he quickly placed a few dozen arrays to secure the room leaving a good amount of nasty surprises for any uninvited guests, but unfortunately he would have to activate it afterwards as he did not feel to energetic to wake up from his nap and allow his roommates to enter their room.

Then he rummaged through his space rings before sighing loudly he was missing some blood replenishing pills, 'Great I will have to make some when I get some free time and after I wake up.', as he yawned loudly he was tired as the previous nights shenanigans were catching up to him.

With that he stripped off his dress before changing into a something casual before jumping on the top of the bunk bed drifting onto dreamland for his much needed sleep.

”Hahahahaha, that was really funny teacher.”, spoke Aliyah trying to contain her laughter which Lu Wu was failing spectacularly even the most stoic ad strict Frozen Flame's shoulder shook as she tried to contain her laughter.

Ryuu suddenly jumped up from his bed battle ready at the sudden intrusion his sword drawn in order to intercept any threat, before his eyes focused on them as he lowered his weapon.

The group especially the teachers and the twins tensed for few seconds seeing Ryuu pointing a sword towards them only to relax as he sheathed it.

Ryuu smiled sheepishly, ”I am extremely sorry I was taking a nap as such I was startled by your sudden arrival as such I…”

Frozen Sky raised her hand to stop Ryuu from speaking as she spoke, ”It is alright junior Ryuu, I understand although I would suggest that you wipe out the drool on your face.”, although Ryuu could not make out her expression but the twinkle of amusement in her eyes portrayed everything to him.

Ryuu shakily raised his hands as he touched his face and his face turned a deep shade of red from the embarrassment as he stuttered out, ”P-p-please make yourselves comfortable, I have some business in the washroom.”

With that he literally vanished from the eyes of Aliyah, her twin and Lu Wu, a loud thud signifying the closure of the door brought their attention.

Frozen Sky could not contain anymore as she broke into laughter, ”Oh my, what a cute child.”

A few minutes later Ryuu left the bathroom with a stoic face he walked casually as if the entire situation with drooling never occurred.

Frozen Sky spoke in a teasing tone, ”So did you have a nice nap junior.”

Ryuu simply blushed before he tried to change the topic, ”I hope the excursion into the city was eventful.”

Frozen Sky: ”Of course junior it was greatly eventful, so did you just take a nap or did you do something else.”, as she spoke everyone including Ryuu took their previous seats.

Ryuu: ”Well I created some talismans, also I created a couple of arrays around the room for some uninvited guests.”
