29 Chapter 29 – Flaming barbarian (2/2)

Luna's eyes lit up when she heard that she had other possibilities.

”however there are some race's with very high affinities to a certain attribute and it shows. For example, the Lava golem race that resides in the Dwarven volcanic plateau. Said to be descendants of a monster and dungeon golem lineage, they are innately born with fire elemental bodies. Their characteristic of shoulders that emit flames and flame hair is a very good indicator.”

”Now that you know that all the elements can provide special constitution bodies… Which element do you think this little one has?” She once more focused on Luna as if she was trying to find out everything about her.

”I'd say the wind or light attribute. But this is only because of the colour of her hair.” Adam pretended to guess.

”I was thinking the same!” Mrs Bren chimed in.

An animated conversation ensued with Mrs Bren afterwards.

When the door finally opened, a beaming Elaine rushed out and jumped in front of Adam.

Adam was just about to let a sigh out and relax after that stressful conversation had ended when Elaine popped up centimetres away from his face.

Her shimmering light golden eyes locked gazes with him.

”Guess!” That's all she said and she started bouncing up and down on her feet.

”Let me guess… Hmm, If it's you then….” He started thinking up of the best combination to poke fun at her. He took his right elbow in his left palm and stroked his chin. Pretending to be thinking very seriously.

Luna knew exactly what Adam was doing so she giggled and made her way into the room. She was sure her sister would explode the second their young master spoke, so she got away quickly.

The door to the celestial enlightenment room closed behind her.

”Tank class with the fire element. A true barbarian set up.” He said then gave a high and mighty smirk to this girl who was right in front of him.

He was expecting a punch to come his way but nothing happened.

Opening his closed eyes, he saw a completely stunned Elaine with a gaping mouth. She was looking at him like he was a ghost.

”H..ho...How did you know?!” Elaine stammered out.

”Huh? I was right?” He himself was surprised. Soon he began to laugh.

”Haha, so you really did become a complete barbarian. Just as I had predicted.” He was still a little annoyed by her messing with his sleep this morning. Now that he had a chance to tease her, he took full advantage of the situation.

'Is it petty of me to make fun of her like this?' He thought to himself. 'No! this is justice! Mans sleep is sacred. It is a fundamental essence of life that deserves to be given its due respect through long hours of uninterrupted sleep. All hail the gods of slumber!' If anyone heard the crazy ramblings that were going through his mind right now, he wouldn't be too far off from being sent to a mental health facility.

He took his sleep way too seriously.

”Hmph. You make fun of me now but when you need me I won't protect you! I'll be super strong… you'll see.” She had come out with the intention of being praised but instead, she had given him ammunition to tease her.

She folded her arms in front of her and stared daggers at him.

”Okay. Okay! I'm sorry. I went too far. Your choice was really good. You will be a great help when we go into the dungeon.” Her words had snapped him out of crazy land.

The fire element was known for being explosive while the Tank class was known to be a fortress that protected. Combining the explosiveness with a fortress-like body was a great combination. She would be a nightmare to monsters even if they attacked her en masse in the future.

”Really?” She looked at him a little unconvinced.

”Yes, of course. We will all train together.” He had truly been a bit unreasonable to her the whole day. She had a way to annoy him but he could not help but like her when she acted like this.

”Okay! I'll forgive you then. I have one condition though…” She became energetic again.

”As long as it isn't anything too hard to do.” He was intrigued by what she wanted.

”Lift your hand young master.” She maintained an eager look.

Not knowing what she wanted, Adam lifted his hand slightly.

Swift like the wind, Elaine's two hands grabbed his hand and interlocked fingers with him. She then stood beside him quietly with a blush on her face.

”You… Is this going to become a habit?” He really didn't mind though. As long as she would forgive him with this. Plus she also seemed very happy doing so. He did not mind indulging her a little.

”So what if it is? It is fine yes?” Her big eyes looked at him pleadingly.

”Ugh, alright.” He could not refuse when she looked at him so innocently. These girls had gotten attached to him and he had promised to be their protector. He also wasn't the least bit averse toward the two. In fact, he felt very close to them from the first time he met them.

Mrs Bren watched the two bickering amongst themselves with her heart melting from the sweetness of their innocent interaction's.

Creak.

The door opened once more. Luna had taken around the same time as her sister.

But unlike her sister who had rushed out, she stepped out slowly. There was a smile plastered on her face but Adam could tell something was wrong.

Elaine who was holding his hand also had a hint of worry flash through her eyes.

Adam walked forth, with Elaine matching his steps. Coming in front of Luna he didn't know what to say.

Luna came close to him just like her sister had and said: ”Guess!”

A smile was on her face but Adam was close enough to see the unshed tears in her eyes. He knew that she was putting on this act so that Mrs Bren wouldn't find anything suspicious.

He let out a short sigh.
