33 Mission Hall (1/2)
Waking up to a brand-new day, Sofie felt excited about going to the mission hall together with Yang Meng as she quickly sat up on her bed.
”Ouch” letting out a small cry of pain, Sofie had accidently touched a sore spot on her hand when she sat up on her bed and with that. Memories of a certain demons training in hand to hand combat was remembered.
Shivering to herself upon remembering Xiao Yao's training, Sofie sat there on her bed for a good five minutes before recovering.
”I… I think I will only train with Xiao Yao one day a week from now on.” Saying this to herself, Sofie was extremely close to saying never, but remembered how important fighting was, as someone who cultivates and quickly decided that 6 days without tortu- training should be a good enough to relax and recover again.
Thinking this far, Sofie had decided to use the rest of the time for condensing the permanent qi vessel, her little flame and train her qi spell. Ah, and potential missions at the mission hall together with Yang Meng.
Sofie had already decided Yang Meng would be going with her on all future missions from the mission hall, as she would get more mission points from taking team missions.
Having laid down her future plans, Sofie got out of her bed and quickly got dressed. Not forgetting to spend half an hour of her time playing with her plushies before leaving for breakfast, it had been some time since she last gave her plushies some attention.
The corridor of the house was empty and the door to Xiao Yao's room was closed, Yue Wan's door on the other hand was wide open.
Maybe she had something to do in the morning?
Not thinking much over it, Sofie exited the house and made her way to the dining hall.
Both her and Yang Meng spend most of their morning there, so Sofie thought it would be a good place to find Yang Meng before going to the mission hall.
…
Arriving at the dining hall, Sofie quickly spotted Yang Meng happily sitting alone at a table with a giant mountain of food in front of him. Looking closer, the mountain was ever so slowly shrinking in size.
Sofie got hungry just from looking at a distance and quickly gathered enough food to create her own mountain, before making her way to the table Yang Meng was sitting at.
”H-hey.” Nervously calling out to the foodie in front of her, Sofie placed down her plate and sat in front of him.
”Who? Ah, Sofie! Good morning.” Yang Meng looked a little tensed up at being called out and looked around cautiously to find out who called out to him, it was only upon seeing Sofie that he relaxed.
”G-good morning Yang Meng, is something wrong? You look tense. Nervous about the mission we are going to do!?” Sofie asked the moment she saw how tense he was.
”Hah… It's just… Gra- elder Mei Yue have been training me yesterday and I guess I'm still affected…” Yang Meng explained while letting a sigh escape from his mouth. Clearly exhausted from the 'training' by elder Mei Yue.
”I think I know what you mean…” Sofie said as memories from the previous day started flowing in. The so-called training was nothing short of torture!
Looks like Yang Meng also had a hard time training… But I wonder what elder Mei Yue was training him in, for him to still be so tensed up… Must have been hard.
Thinking this, Sofie felt a sense of comradery at the prospect of both of them going through tortu- a hard training regimen.
Yang Meng was a little surprised, as he looked and saw the look of understanding on Sofie's face. Wondering to himself who trained her.
Was it an elder as well? Maybe someone scarier, like grandma Mei Yue. Maybe she decided to train Sofie as well…
Not really sure who trained Sofie, Yang Meng started to feel their friendship deepening as both of them had gone through the same kind of training (hell)!
