Living with two teenagers was the weirdest experience Horas ever had. Not because it was challenging to live with them, but because of how they both behaved with each other.
Both Howard and Duke had very different personalities when it ca to how a room should look like. And that was the root of all the fighting in their room.
Contrary to popular belief, Howard was a clean freak and a mother-hen. He was always picking up after Duke and dragging the other teen out. anwhile, Duke was more ssy but down to earth.
His attitude took a 180 as soon as he was in bed. It was also impossible to wake him up on ti.
The first day in their room had been awkward for Horas, and he had to tip-toe on eggshells to avoid offending any of the other two occupants.
By the end of the second day, Horas was much more comfortable with them both. His duties also helped keep him out of the dorm as much as possible.
Horas were sure he could get used to this setting when reality decided to smack him in the face once more. It was in the form of a conversation Horas was sure he was not supposed to hear about.
It just so happened that Horas had finished his rounds of petrol early and he was about to open the door when he stopped.
It was because an almost shouting match was taking place in the room in front of him.
“-cannot delay any longer. We will not improve if we do not pay in extra effort. I think we should participate in this night dungeon hunting.”
It was Duke’s passionate voice that spoke. It seed as if soone was organizing a night dungeon for students to participate in.
Usually, it would not have attracted Horas’s attention since it was a regular occurrence. But he was sure that it was not the case this ti.
Horas was an assistant instructor, so he was often the one who was approached with such ideas and asked to run security. Especially if the operation was being run by students.
Things needed to be screened by him if sothing of this scale was to take place in the Esper’s academy. But Horas had not received any invitation to investigate a night dungeon.
Moreover, it was not an open thing from what he was hearing. It was sothing Horas would need to look more into soon.
“I do not know Duke. I cannot help but find it all rather fishy from the start. I an, why did the senior tell us not to inform Horas about this? Isn’t it the assistant instructor’s job to ensure such things? I am not sure if this dungeon hunting is legal or not.”
Howard was a good child who understood that sotis, dangers can co from unknown places. Horas wanted to burst in and reward Howard.
But he held himself back because Horas could see that Duke was not done speaking yet.
“Howard, do not be a coward. We need to take so risks if we want to beco powerful. And I am sure we will not be able to gain anything if we kept on staying on the sidelines like this. You can trust this ti and participate in this night dungeon.” I think you should take a look at
That was a lot for Duke to guarantee on his own. But Horas had a feeling Howard was convinced about what he was saying.
Whatever Duke knew about this night dungeon was enough to make him certain that it was safe as well as worth his ti.
Now Horas was curious. He could just burst in now and demand answers from Duke and Howard. But Horas doubted it would get him anything solid.
Rather, it would cause Duke to beco angry at Howard instead and it would only harm Horas.
It would be better for Horas to pretend he did not hear anything and then try to follow Duke and Howard from behind. If it looked safe, then Horas would back out of it.
But now, the Horas needed to save so unfortunate souls from untily death and catch a problematic student who did not know how to follow rules.
“Howard, you can either co with or step out. But don’t you dare talk about this dungeon hunting to anyone else, alright? I am going to ask Regina as well. And even if you do not want to co, ask Emma if she is interested in coming or not.”
Now the alarm bells were ringing in Horas’s mind. He would not have thought much of this night dungeon if not for the whole main gang being dragged into this.
‘Ugh, another tough mission I cannot see the end of anyti soon. Is there a way for to not be involved with this and keep an eye on the man gang?’
The answer was looking more and more to be a ‘no’ from what Horas could see. So, in the end, he decided to bite his hostility and decide to knock on the door.
The two persons on the other side were startled at his entry but they quickly pretended like nothing was wrong with them. Horas also pretended like he did not hear their conversation.
The night passed in silence but Horas was awake the next night. He pretended like he was going on his nightly petrol but he stopped and hid near the entrance of their room.
Both Howard and Duke ca out of the room soon. They knew that Duke had a full night out tonight and that was their only chance to go out.
But the joke was on them since Horas has asked Tora to cover his shift around the school. He was currently busy following after Duke and Howard.
They quickly arrived in front of the female dorm and picked up Emma and Regina on the way. Horas were not even surprised to see them cooperate with Duke and Howard. The main gang was a rather tightly-knitted one.
But Horas was surprised to see the one who caused all this ss for him in the first place.
Standing in front of the main gang was no one other than the remaining mber of their group - Loris.
It seed like she was the one behind this ss.
