Chapter 23: Some Fixing Up After a refreshing swim, and a bit of a ruckus about swimming naked since our swimsuits were too small, we checked the MapleNet website on my laptop again. I found out that our levels had increased quite a bit. Sevin's info showed up when I ran a search on him. A search on Xorten turned up nothing, but I found his info on the Universal Rankings. Sevin stayed for dinner, then Roy called his friend to come and pick him up. He waved at us as he left. Ivan - Level 105 Ranger Alexis - Level 103 Crusadress Roy - Level 97 Hermit Lacus - Level 101 Priest Lopez - Level 78 Sniper Mei Ling - Level 71 F/P Mage Sevin - Level 30 Hunter Xorten - Level 50 Hunter Seemed like Mei Ling hadn't been training much. Not much of a surprise really, Lacus explained she was pretty much a pacifist by nature. She wouldn't even kill an Orange Mushroom if it was in her face! The armour appeared to have given our levels a boost too, and Roy's job as a mercenary was racking up his experience. Lacus probably got her level boost from Alexis's released power. A Level 30 Hunter using Strafe and Inferno? Just what is Sevin? The website had also added a news section to it since we last checked it. A title stood out from the others. It was flashing and coloured dots were orbiting it. That one detailed an explosion from the Fidelo Needle, but when I pressed the refresh button, it was gone. "Huh?" Roy hobbled over. His leg had broken when he fell from the Fidelo Needle's wall and it was bandaged neatly by Lacus. "Hurricane!" I yelled, twanging the bowstring rapidly. A few arrows shot out, flickered briefly, and disappeared before they hit the target. "Don't try fourth job skills when you're a third jobber. Our powers need a bit of your own powers to spark, unless in extreme need." Jakito said. "But I managed to use Sharp Eyes and Hurricane while beating Saevio the first time!" I protested. "That scenario was different. You had used the sacrificing spell and you were basically one with me." the Dark Dragon interjected. Mei Ling got home almost at midnight. Her Red Anakarune was slightly askew. She caught me looking at her. "Rapers. I Teleported away before they could catch me, but one of them threw something at me and managed to cut my leg." she showed us a small gash on her leg. "You need to be careful at night." Lacus told her, placing her hand on the gash. Green light bathed the wound and it was healed instantly. "I know, I know." Mei Ling groaned. Alexis, Lacus and me stayed awake for a while to extend the front of our clothes. Lacus was quite deft with a needle and quickly extended the front of my Dark Lineros enough to cover my chest. Alexis's armour was patched up at the front with a piece of cloth temporarily until we could find a sheet of metal. The next morning, we woke up late and hurried down to find breakfast already over. Roy was smiling at us, two packages on the dining table. "What's that?" I asked. His smile widened and he ripped the packages off. A hat and a helmet sat on the table. "Is that a Dark Patriot for me?" I stared at the hat in disbelief. "Is that Mithril Planet mine?" Alexis was staring at the helmet. Roy nodded. Alexis quickly put the helmet on her head. It slotted comfortably over her cranium. Her horn was untouched by the helmet. I put the Dark Patriot on my head. A comfortable fit that also allowed room for my horn. Roy grinned. "I like it!" Lopez smacked me on the back. I stumbled forward a step. "I also bought new hats for Lacus, Mei Ling and Lopez." Roy grabbed more packages from a bag, opening them. Lacus received a Dark Seraphis that matched her Dark Requirre perfectly. Mei Ling liked her Red Seraphis immensely while Lopez almost drooled on a White Polyfeather Hat. "Matches my Red Anakarune, dontcha think?" Mei Ling gave a little twirl. |
