"...ise and shine fella, we're here." A raspy voice woke me up from my nap.
"The biggiest place to learn in 'Lirkan' continent, academy city - 'Mil-Ansk', was ait?" My half drunk carriage driver turned his head to the right.
"Boya you lookin' kinda small ain'tcha? I thought only bigga people go here." His assumptions would probably piss off anybody else, but I am a patient guy.
"You see sir, I may be on the shorter side but, my teacher says I have the potential to be one of the best fighters in the kingdom." I bragged, trying to keep it cool.
"Plus, I am of age, so..."
"Well I'll be... a showty like ya is gon' be a military studen'? Yahyahayah." His crude laugh sounded somewhat unconvinced.
Fuck.
I hate talking to people, this is so annoying, why do I even have to listen to this bullshit, just take me to the city and fuck off...
"Yep, I hope I can make it as a knight someday." We're finally going our separate ways.
"May fortune find ya, and be cirful with them rich folks ya hear me boy?"
Words of wisdom, truly, what would've I done without you, toothless half-dead person.
"Ahhhh, I'm missing the Slayer assassination missions already..." Whispering to myself, I remembered Kiyoko's last words to me before I left.
"You're finally 20 in 2 days, when you get to Mil-Ansk, remember this, you have a bad tendency to be arrogant and stupid, take extra care to NOT do anything unnecessary." Arrogant? Stupid? Me?!
"Well, whatever, attention is the worst enemy for someone like me, I mean, I don't like it... we're gonna take it easy and avoid trouble here for su-."
"HMM?! Did you just push me, you scrawny asshole?" The bald headed seemingly-sentient wall of muscles turned to me, ready to fight.
I guess 'trouble' is unavoidable... Haha... I let out a sigh in my head. De-escalation Lifes, de-escalation.
"My bad buddy, I'm not looking for trouble, it was an accident. An accident..." Bahh I'm gonna make myself puke, can't I just kill him??
"Who you callin' your buddy, bro, I'm not your fuckin' buddy!" But you just called me bro? "I'll let it go just this once, but you betta' watch yarself in the future. Now fuck outta my sight, stupid stickman." impressive vocabulary, I guess.
He smirked arrogantly before bumping into my shoulder as his ugly, fat friend let out a loud snicker.
Well, could've been worse I guess. Now, where's my new home?
After some asking around and walking through the large, fairly empty, grass field I reached 2 rows of houses, dorm's block - 'B'. After a little more walking, I finally found my dorm somewhere in the first section of the front row.
A pretty simple design, 2 stories, blue roof, wooden walls and a green sign with black letters that was hanging next to the plain, wooden door - 'B-15'.
"Yo. Were you assigned to this building as well?" An unfamiliar, crisp, clear voice, because of course it is...
I nodded without turning around. I don't handle the charismatic types very well.
"A quiet one, eh? Well, no matter, my name's Leonardo, but you can call me Leo, if we're gonna live together, can I at least hear your name?" Guess it can't be helped...
"Lifes"
"...?"
"*Sigh* Well, nice to meet you, Lifes, I hope we'll get along."
