Oh? you were expecting to wait days for a new chapter? nope, I made this one before the previous one, so don't worry about waiting. I just had to correct some things before publishing this.

/-+* Jevin's POV *+-\

"Wels!?"

Wels turned to me, "oh! Hi Jevin!" he said while waving.

I swiftly ran to him and hugged him tightly, "You're back!"

"Yeah, did you miss me? Also, Jevin, please, I can't breath." Wels said.

"Oh, sorry." I chuckled letting him go, "so how was your break?" I asked him

"It was... to put it mildly, a trip back to memory lane."

"Really? did you visit your hometown?"

I noticed Wels' face shifted a little, "I guess, yeah. You can say that. I payed it a little visit." He said, "I also went and trained more, so now I'm one step closer to becoming a full Paladin Knight!" He said with a big tone change to excitement.

"That's great news! I'll go tell the others you're back, I gotta go now, see ya, Wels!"

"Later, Jev!"

/-+* Grian's POV *+-\

I sighed as I sat on top of the barge, looking over the shopping district, feeling very tense because of the incident. I'm not sure X is going to forgive him just like that. And I don't know the results yet, so I'm currently very worried. I thought about it all while watching the sun that was setting and was almost down, knowing it's only a matter of milliseconds before it rises again-

BdoubleO100 went to bed. Sweet Dreams!

Yep, knew it. I flew down to the road sighing, and on the corner of my eye, I saw EX walking from the portal, seemingly seeming both relieved and very tense. I immediately ran up to him and hugged him, which surprised him, "G-grian?"

"EX! you were worrying me, dammit!" I sighed.

EX looked at me with guilt, "...I'm sorry, I just lost control, I didn't mean to attack him, I'm sorry that I ruined it a-"

"EX, stop apologizing dammit!" I said, and he stopped, "you don't need to apologize, It's my fault, I was there, I should have also stood up for you-"

"Look, I get you when you ask me to stop apologizing, but you don't need to apologize for something you didn't need to apologize, Grian. It was my fault either way. I also got Stress involved when she didn't have to get involved."

"So, are you still on the server?" I asked him tensely, fearing the answer.

"...yes, Stress explained what happened to X, and he said I'm free to go, but he'll talk to me later," EX stated nervously, also seeming tense.

I sighed in full relief, "I'm just glad you're still on the server and okay."

" well, I'm just glad I didn't get sent back to the void," he said in relief, before his face shifted to a sad face again, "but it seems that's what the others wanted-"

"Holy cow- Evil X!?"

Me an EX turned, and saw Wels, which looked both surprised and confused.

"Oh! Wels! you're back from your break I assume?" I greeted.

"Uh, yeah." he chuckled before turning to EX, "...Is there something going on? Was I missing out on something while I wasn't here?" He asked confused.
