Chapter 246 - The field trip (3) (2/2)
Mars turned and saw Kelvin, the demon youth was standing a little away from the fire, Mars gave a smile and asked
”What's up Kelvin? should you not be asleep by now?”
Kelvin gave a sigh and walked over before he took a seat next to Mars and likewise held his hands out to the fire before he slowly spoke
”... Well I can't sleep, 78 is snoring in the tent next to mine”
”... I see, well sorry about that”
The two of them fell silent until a few minutes later when Kelvin asked
”Hey Mars, how come that 78 is so... Immature?”
”Well...”
Mars of course knew about it, it was because she spent 200 years in a tank but he was not going to tell Kelvin that so he shook his head and spoke
”78 is an orphan, so she just likes to act spoiled when I am around”
”... I see”
Suddenly Mars' ears twitched as he picked up something in the distance and gave a slight smile before he stood up and spoke
”Kelvin go back to your tent, there's something I need to take care off”
Kelvin looked up at Mars and saw his serious expression
”Okay”
Mars gave a nod
”Besides you have to be well rested for tomorrow's training”
”... We're still doing that? I thought we would take a break during the field trip...”
”Yeah well you thought wrong, now off to bed you go”
Mars walked off towards his tent where Rick was snoring away without a care in the world and picked up a broadsword, the one made of bone before he silently flew off into the forest and soon found the things he had heard from the campfire
'Goblins... Well they have to die now that they're this close to the camp...'
Mars swung the bone broadsword a few times sending bright sword lights into the night before he summoned a small flame which burned the corpses to ashes, then he went back to camp and sat himself in front of the fire in the middle of the camp again... As the morning sun gradually awoke Mars stood up and stretched before he walked back to his and Rick's tent and woke up Rick
”Morning Mars”
”Good morning, now if you don't mind I need to get some shuteye”
”Of course, don't worry I'll take care of the students while you sleep”
”Good... Well I leave them to you for a couple hours”
Mars sat down on his sleeping bag and was about to begin meditating when he felt a wave of dizziness
'Guess 25 days without sleep is still the limit huh...'
Mars had been meditating as much as possible the last month and thus he had not had a proper rest for about 25 days, seeing as this was the limit he opened his eyes again before he opened up his sleeping bag and laid himself into it and slowly closed his eye as he regulated his breathing and soon fell asleep...
Outside the tent Rick stretched before he lightly slapped his cheeks and gave a nod
”Okay, let's get this show on the road”
Rick then walked up to a nearby tent and opened it up before he loudly called out
”Good morning! Get out of bed!”
His morning greeting was met with general sounds of displeasure from the four students inside the tent, Rick gave a grin and spoke out
”Sure you can sleep a little longer but next time I come around I'll pour water on your faces, now get up!”
The four students gradually sat up and looked somewhat awake, Rick gave a nod and moved on to the next tent where he repeated the process of waking up the students until he had been all the way around the camp, then he gathered the students and began preparing some breakfast with them
