170 Remember this feeling (1/2)

Of course, the effect of the pills was minimal and they were inefficient as hell, but it was the first time they had created their own pill, making them understandably proud.

Miss. Klein watched their elated expressions and then seriously told them after they had calmed down a bit. ”Remember this feeling. It will be your best motivation and drive on the path of pill refining.”

They nodded in understanding. Only by creating their own pills did they realize how good it felt to be able to do so. This made them want to create better pills, requiring them to learn more about herbs and pill refining. This was even more so for Serge than for Ivan. He couldn't stop staring at the pill he created with pride and desire.

After that class ended and it was time for the next one.

After school, the group met on the training ground. They didn't plan to go into the dungeon, but the ground had seating areas that were well suited to meet and talk.

After everyone had sat down, Irena started the conversation by asking Greg, ”So what happened?”

Greg who still looked depressed took a deep breath and then started to talk, ”You know that I and Pia have known each other for a long time right?”

”Yes.”

”Well, although we have started to go out with each other, at the same time we have started to drift apart. With her becoming a paladin and me being a not so good mage. This has made our relationship a bit shaky.”

”Huh? How come I didn't see that?”, Ivan asked confused.

”You don't even have a normal relationship but only so many weird ones, so how could you tell?”, Greg shot at him.

Ivan readily agreed, ”True.” His relationships were really weird, with none of them being even rudimentarily normal.

”I didn't see it either.”, Irena agreed with Ivan's point of view.

”It's not like we have a bad relationship. It is just that it is more like friends than as lovers.”, Greg explained.

”Oh, so she sees you only as a friend, while you saw her as a lover?”

”Mmm.”, he agreed. Once again there were tears threatening to flow out of his eyes.

”Did she tell you that?”, Ivan asked curiously. He still felt that something was wrong.

”No, but I could see it. She even told me that I was an absolute disappointment, who wasn't worthy to be with her. That I disgust her with how I am, how I look and how I act.”

”Wow, that doesn't sound like a friend.”

”No, she was always like that. If she is close to you, then she will tell you what she thinks. If she doesn't tell you what she thinks, then she is distant from you.”, Greg informed them. After all, he too knew Pia for a long time.

”So yesterday she said that she wanted to break up with you?”, Ivan asked, just to make sure.

”She didn't explicitly say it but what else could she have meant?”

”Maybe she just said that because she was angry? After all, you puked all over her.”

”No. I know that she was serious.”

”Then have you thought about the points she mentioned? Maybe that is what she wanted. Maybe she wanted you to change. How were you when you met? When you got together?”

”The same as now?”, Greg answered in an unsure tone. It seemed like he hadn't thought about it. He had just taken her words as a rejection.

”No.”, Serge said. ”Back then you knew what you wanted, now you are just drifting along.”, after saying this he once again went back to being silent, not telling them more.

”Maybe Serge got a point.”, Irena said before asking Greg, ”So what are your goals and what are you doing to reach them?”

Greg looked even more confused, ”My goal is to be a merchant, didn't I tell you about it?”
