Rising of the Weakest Mage

Vol 3/Ch 29 - To Form a Friend Group

After just a few days of being in the infirmary, Allen was finally out. The nurses advised him he still needed to recover, so it would be in his best interest not to get into any new duels for at least a week. Allen certainly did not have any plans to duel anyone now or before, but of course the duel with Stephen had come out of nowhere.

By the time he got out of the infirmary, it was already the weekend. Allen used that time to relax and study in his dorm room, and with Thomas and Cecily at one point during the weekend coming by and helping him catch up on what he missed.

The day before they had class again, the three of them went to walk around London for a little bit, browsing the shops like they did last time. Luckily, there were no problems like last time, unless you count Thomas still not having enough money for getting lunch outside of the academy.

And of course, at one point during their small walk around London, they came across Charles Rivertide, who tried to go on about Allen and Stephen's duel. The three of them just decided to play the "ignore him card" and continued on, with Charles trying to keep getting their attention several times. Finally after several attempts, he finally gave up and went on his way.

When it started to become sunset, they finally made their way back to the academy. They all went their separate ways to their dorm rooms to get a good rest before their class tomorrow morning.

By the time Allen finally woke up for class, his injuries were for the most part fully healed. He's always been quick to heal his entire life, so it never really takes him that long to heal from his injuries (especially with all the injuries he got when he trained with William).

When Allen finally got back to class since his duel with Stephen, Thomas and Cecily wrapped up anything else they didn't or forgot to tell him during the weekend to help him get caught back up in class. There wasn't much else, so they used the remainder of the time to study together like they usually do.

Near the end of class, Allen was starting to wonder when he'd see Stephen again. He told him he wanted him to meet his friends, but he didn't exactly know when that could be. He also wanted to speak to Rose, as he wanted to ask her several questions about their past. However, there was no need to wonder or plan out how he'd speak to them again because they already had other plans.

"Yo, Allen!," Stephen's voice came from over by the door to the classroom.

When Allen looked over, he saw both Stephen and Rose standing in the doorway. Rose had her arms crossed and looked slightly annoyed, not because she was here but more of she looked annoyed with Stephen.

"You don't need to be so stupidly loud!," Rose remarked.

"And look who's talking?," Stephen gave her a smirk.

"You can shut up now you moron, or I'll cut you into several pieces," she said with a casual tone, like this was a normal, everyday response.

"Well, considering I have many reasons why I wouldn't want you to do that, I'll stop for now sweetcheeks," Stephen gave her an even bigger grin.

Rose gave him a good slap to the face, which then Stephen let out an "ow", and put his hand up to his face to cover the area in which she slapped.

"Stephen, Rose, what are you two doing here?," Allen got up out of his chair, surprised.

"We came to see you," Stephen replied, but still holding his hand to his face where Rose slapped him.

"No, I came to see him, but you just had to butt in from behind and join me on the way here," Rose scoffed.

"Not my fault you chose to go see him at the same time," Stephen shrugged.

"You moron, I-ll-"

"Care to tell me why the both of you feel the need to disrupt my classroom?," Ms. Florence remarked at them, looking up from her book.
