99 Wife (1/2)
”Pff, I bet you only wanted to brag.”
”Irena, how can you say that? Besides, aren't you and Ivan together?”
”The two of you are together?”, Pia asked with interest.
Both Ivan and Irena shook their head at the same time, surprising Greg, ”How come? Doesn't your training skill necessitate it?”
They had talked about their training skill before, so he knew about the requirements and had thought that they got together so they could fulfill them.
”Only in the later stages. For now, there isn't any need to get together.”, Irena explained. ”After all we barely know each other.”
Pia nodded when she heard that, ”It is good not to be too hurried when getting into a relationship. Most of the time it will only lead to problems.”, when she said that there was some sadness in her voice.
”Then could you tell us, how you and Greg have gotten together?”, Irena asked in an attempt to divert the topic.
”Sure, but there isn't really anything to it. We are have been neighbors ever since birth and our families are good friends too, so with time we just got together.”
”Greg sure is lucky.”, Serge mumbled.
”What do you mean?? And how come you are talking so much today?”, Greg pretended to get angry at his friend's comment but inside he knew that he was lucky to have such a girl as his girlfriend.
”Must have been some shock he got during his time in the dungeon.”, Ivan speculated.
”Anyway, now that everyone is here, let's talk about forming a group to go into the training dungeon.”, Irena brought back the conversation to the main topic.
”What's there to talk about? Let's just meet tomorrow after school and try it out.”
”Could you be more serious, Greg?”, Irena reprimanded him. ”At least we have to distribute our roles as well as decide the mode because after all, we could do Nightmare Mode if we want.”
”Really? We can do Nightmare Mode?”, Pia asked excitedly.
”You do know about it?”
”Of course. My teacher told me that, if I ever have the opportunity to do the Training Dungeon in Nightmare Mode, I definitely shouldn't miss it. From what she explained, the available rewards are huge and there are some things that are only available in that mode.”
”I too would like to try it.”, Serge supported the suggestion to do the Training Dungeon in Nightmare Mode.
”Then is anyone against trying it?”, Irena asked the other two at the table, who both shook their head, to signal that they didn't have a problem with it.
”Alright, then that's decided. We will do it in Nightmare Mode. Now to the distribution of the roles. Anyone has any recommendations?”
”Well, Pia has to be the healer. And I think you should be the group leader and as such be responsible for battlefield control. From what I have seen Greg isn't the fastest but neither is he proficient in tanking, so he should be a ranged attacker. I got some experience in tanking, so I can take that role, while Serge can act as a melee attacker.”, Ivan proposed. He knew how Irena, Serge, and Greg liked to fight from their usual training so he didn't find it hard to find appropriate roles for them.
When they heard his suggestion, everyone nodded their heads. That was everyone except Pia.
”I don't want to be the healer. This is either so boring or way to stressful.”, she protested.
”But we don't have anyone else who can use healing skills.”, Irena remarked.
Pia nodded grudgingly, ”Alright, but only as long as I got an attacker position too.”
”Sure, but only ranged attack. Everything else is too risky.”
”Alright, anything is better than nothing.”, Pia still wasn't happy, but she understood the thoughts behind the decision, so she accepted it.
