33 Placement Week: Day 3 (1/2)
”Baby Dragon.
Parents: Shadow Dragon, Golden Alpine Wolf
Age: 1 year
Level: 1
Abilities: *Locked*”
Sylvie analyzed the little lizard and spoke out these statistics.
It seems that Bell isn't that strong yet, but the shadow dragons are one of the legendary beast roaming in the Demon Realm, Sun figured that he may be riding on his little buddy after he gets on a higher level.
It was still early in the morning when Sun summoned Sylvie and asked her to give him some information about Bell.
He looked outside of the window next to his bed and felt motivated by the great weather.
”Thanks for the information.”, he said and went to the bathroom.
After he got dressed he went to the kitchen to have breakfast and saw the other two already eating.
Edward seemed a bit sleepy. Light eye bags are forming under his eyes.
Evan on the other side looked more energetic than usual. He also ate twice as much as he eats normally.
Sun sat down in front of them.
”Yo”
” 'Sup”, Evan said with a full mouth.
”Oi, stop talking when your mouth is full!”, Edward said a little bit unmotivated.
”Is something wrong Edward? - How's your placement search doing?”, Sun asked.
”Nah, I've got placement for potion making, but I need to memorize all basic ingredients and do many tests on different plants. It takes my concentration and I need to be very precise with my work.”
”Urg- sounds hard.”, Sun said and tried to sympathize with him.
”What about you?”, Sun asked Evan.
”Black Smith. I've got the eat much to cover my calories for the day! It's hard work, but with lots of fire!”
”Sounds ... fun.”, Sun smiled wryly.
”How's it doing on your side? You don't seem to be affected by it and what up with the reptile on your shoulder?”, Edward asked with a confused look on his face.
*Hizz*
Bell's black eyes glared at Edward. He did not say anything and just gulped down his breakfast.
”Oh, this is Bell, my little pet. Just another lizard.”, Sun answered.
”Huh, where did you pick up this little buddy?”, Evan asked.
”Ah, on a Hunting mission.”
”Hunting? Mission?”, both of his roommates looked confused.
”Oh, well. I work as a Demon Hunter by the way.”, Sun smiled.
”What?! I thought it was banned as a placement.”, Edward said confused.
”Hm, the principal said it was okay.”, Sun said.
”Argh, I would've loved to do some Demon Hunting!!!”, Evan complained.
”Can I come with you the next time or so?”, Edward asked.
”Huh!?”, Sun did not think that his placement was so popular with the people since it's so dangerous and brutal.
But after a second thought. Other people who have never seen an actual demon would just think nothing much of it. He was pretty much the same before the mission yesterday.
”No, sorry. It's very confidential, I mean our clients.”, Sun said.
”Aw come on.”, Evan looked at him with puppy eyes.
”Nope. We work in teams, you would only get in the way.”
”Aw, well. Whatever.”, Evan pouted and started to eat again.
”So, what's your plan today?”, Sun asked both of them.
”Work.”
”Work.”
Both answered simultaneously without a gleam of emotion in their voice.
”Ah, as expected.”, Sun looked a bit down. He thought that they might be able to hang out or something like that.
After a while, Edward got up and said he was going to work.
Shortly after, Evan packed his stuff and went to the smithery in the forest.
Sun was now alone again and did not know what to do for the day.
There was no mission or anything planned, for now, so he had lots of free time during the placement orientation week.
Others are learning to create potions, casting spells on clothing or other work, so they need the orientation week in order to grasp the work routine. It builds up for their actual part-time job during the weekends.
Since Sun needn't learn anything, he could roam freely on campus. He is probably the only one who can afford to do that now.
”Well, I might just hit the library or something like that. More knowledge wouldn't hurt.”
On the way, he thought about Rose. He looked at the girl's dorm while walking to the Central.
...
”LET GO!”, a female voice shouted.
