"So, seeing how strong you are, I'm confident you can handle yourself on a red portal planet that is why I propose you go hunt King tier beasts." Humfree said.
"So if I were to do that, how many beasts will I have to hunt to go up the rank?" Jake asked.
"By my calculations, 25 king tier beasts." Humfree replied.
"What the hell?!" Peter shouted out loud. "Isn't that too much?"
"Honestly, I agree with what Peter is trying to say." Jack said. "We all know how hard a king tier beast is, we fought against it on that day. Even the generals struggled a lot and mind you, there were only two king tier beasts and they gave us so much trouble.
So how is Jake supposed to hunt 25 on his own?"
"I know how strong Jake is, I can testify to that after what we went through at Raven wing's city but 25 king tier beasts is quite the overkill." Alex added.
"I understand your concerns everyone but shall I remind you all that, that was my suggestion not an order. After all, the final decision rest on Jake's shoulders. If he wants to do it, then that will be best for himself and the guild and if he doesn't want to, there's no consequences." Humfree said.
"So what do you have to say Jake?" Kate asked as she turned to Jake who had his head down in thought.
'25 beasts? King tier at that? That… that's too much even for . I was able to kill that gorrila beast that ti because the others had managed to wear it down. But how am I going to do this all alone? It's practically like a death sentence or sothing.' He thought worriedly.
"But if you look at it, the pros all outweigh the cons." Zee added. "Not only will you advance in your adventurer rank, you will also level up more from the system. Not like I'm telling you to do it, I was just saying."
Jake just sighed and looked at his hands while still trying to co up with sothing.
"Fine!" Jake said as he lifted his head up and looked at the others. "I will do it but I will want for one more person to tag along so they can also rank up."
"Who's that?" Paul asked.
"I want Alex to tag along." Jake said. Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire
Alex hearing this smiled widely as he looked at Jake.
"Why?" Wilfred asked.
"I know I'm strong, but I'm not overconfident to think I can handle king tier beasts on my own. What if I encounter sothing beyond my abilities? That is why I asked Alex to tag along because his strength will be much appreciated." Jake replied.
"Yes!!!" Alex shouted out loud. "If you hadn't asked to tag along, I would have volunteered anyway. I need to get strong too and this will be more than perfect."
"I hope you all do not have a problem with this." Jake said as he looked at everyone's face but he noticed a hint of sadness on Kate's face.
"Kate! Is there any problem?" Jake asked and she was jolted from her thoughts as she looked at Jake.
"No! There's no problem and your idea is nice." Kate replied with a forced smile.
'He just ca back and he is already thinking of leaving so soon? When will you have my ti Jake? I missed you so much but you didn't even take a mont to sit with . I hope one day everything can go back to normal.' Kate thought.
"So when do you plan on leaving?" Sunny asked.
"In a weeks ti. That will give and Alex more ti to get better equipnt, cause both our weapons got destroyed so we will need new ones." Jake said.
"That will be for the best." Paul said.
"So with that, everything has been decided upon. We shall et at the portal room in the coming week so as to send Jake and Alex off to get so points ho." Humfree said.
"I guess that is the end of the eting then." Paul said and everyone began leaving the room one by one.
Alex was about to leave when he felt a tap on his shoulder. Turning around, he could see Emily standing in front of him.
"You wanted to tell sothing before we were interrupted by the ergency eting." She said.
'Darn! I thought I managed to escape but I guess I can't run away from this huh?' Alex thought before he sighed and looked around.
Everybody had already left so he and Emily were both in the eting room together and completely alone.
"Emily… what I want to tell you is that… I love you. For so many years, I have been trying to put you and your feelings off so I can focus on getting stronger and that's why I kept giving you so many excuses but I don't think I can put my feelings off any longer.
Emily, I love…" Alex stuttered as he was suddenly grabbed by the collar and pulled forward then he felt a soft feeling on his lips which made his eyes widen in shock as Emily had drew him in into an intimate kiss as they both kissed passionately.
Their lips t in a tender, yet passionate, embrace. Soft and gentle, yet filled with longing, their kiss deepened as they savored the mont. The warmth of their breath mingled, and their hearts beat as one, lost in the sweetness of their love.
And after a few minutes of a deep kiss, they finally let each other go as Alex kept replaying the few monts of kiss between him and Alex as it was his first ever kiss he shared with a girl.
"I also love you so much you doofus, I have always loved you since I t you in our first year at the academy and ever since then, I have continued to love you.
I can't believe it took so long before you finally confessed to . I'm so happy right now! I love you Alex!" Emily said as she pulled Alex in again for another round of kissing.
