Shen woke up at sunset when the orange sun cast warm reflections on the wall opposite the window. He opened his eyes and felt that his head was buzzing, as if from a severe hangover.
«What happened?» he thought. «So, Muan and I had a cup of wine, and then? I don't remember how Muan left and I went to bed... One cup of wine couldn't have such an effect on me.»
[-20 points to the villainous image. -10 points for showing weakness. -10 points for stupidity and naivety!]
«What? System, what are you talking about?!»
[Original Shen would never allow to be treated like that!]
«How «like that»?» Shen worried.
[I won't tell you!]
«System, tell me what happened!»
«System!»
«Please!»
«Screw you!»
How is it treated «like that»?? Shen tried hard to remember anything that happened after he drank that wine. Nothing went into his head.
«Muan, you are such a nit, I will challenge you to a mortal duel!!»
He blazed with rage as he left his room, and at the same time addressed the System:
«Did he actually put something in that wine for me??»
System just chuckled.
Shen jerked open the door to Muan's room, but he was not inside. Frozen on the doorstep, he remembered the Peak of Glory Lord's plan to go buy tea.
Did he add sleeping pills to him so that he could go buy tea alone? Though it infuriated him, his anger subsided slightly. Is it from his stupid overprotection that he has been showing lately?
Still puffing, Shen went to Al's room to take him with him and follow Muan. Al was not in the room either. Then Shen knocked on Annis's room.
The girl quickly opened the door and froze on the threshold.
"Teacher?"
"Is Al with you?"
"No, he's not here. And why would!.." the girl flushed.
Shen was puzzled.
"Have you seen Muan?"
Se Annis shook her head.
"Maybe they left together?" Shen muttered thoughtfully.
What if Al went with Muan, risking to get his own immortal sword without Shen's involvement? How does this threaten them all? For Muan, most likely big trouble.
[You MUST participate in the moment when the main character finds his sword,] System responded after his question. [Otherwise, it will not be written into the plot.]
«And will I die?»
[Yes.]
«Muan, you brute, it's all because of you!!»
"Teacher, is something wrong?" Annis tilted her head sympathetically to the side, watching the change of emotion on his face.
"I need to know where they are headed!"
«System! Urgently activate another bonus piano in the bushes! I want to live!!»
[A bonus piano in the bush is applied.]
Before Shen had time to properly wait, brew anti-hangover tea at least as long as time permits, three masked men ran out from behind a bend in the corridor and rushed towards him. They drew their swords about halfway.
