Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army

Chapter 58: Punished

After the old men left and before Reina got the chance to ask her questions from between the paws of Fae and Balin the wailing of Dustan filled the villa as he clung to leader while bawling his eyes out "your daddy stole my money, you said he was nice but he took my money, hic hic, why does every take my money waaah waaah". A true sight to behold, one does not simply witness the tears of an orc.

Leader entangled herself from Dunstan's clutches and closed in on Yunan. The poor kid could feel she was not really upset but not very satisfied either and he was about to pay for it, so he braced himself for a slap on the back of the head but what came was an ear twist that made him cry out. "Why can't you just say we have no more space for students? You had to give him a speech and now he is going to send someone to keep tabs on me" leader twisted harder and pulled him up to his toes "consult the adults next time you little runt, now we all have to get stuck because of your running mouth, do that again and i'll feed you your own tong" leadr let go of Yunan and humphed her way back to the study while the snickers and chuckles of ridicule pierced the kids heart.

Even Dustan was sniggering to himself, his lost fortune already forgotten and everyone was heading to the study to make sense of what happened. They found leader laying on the couch face down and visibly moody, so Bai took his position as masseur and got yo work on improving her mood. While the rest sat in chairs or on the ground waiting for Leader to speak but Reina broke the silence first. "Who are they? and why does leader run away from her dad? he seems really nice and kindly".

"He is not her father he is the pope, the other was the guild leader, they are basically the most influential people on the planet, and they were here to deal with the mess we made, we got two punishments and that is getting of very lightly, so we can consider ourselves lucky, because even the punishment has a reward hidden in the future" explained Lucian who was now playing with Reina's tails.

"So i just told the pope who to send in to study under Debauchery as if he did know better, seems like i really need to stop talking freely, first was an emperor then the pope, maybe i get to talk down at lady luck next? That is doom waiting for me" Yunan had his head between his hands feeling like he just escaped calamity after punching her in the face, while Leol was patting his death seeking friend on the back trying to comfort him.

"Lucian just said we got two punishments but the way i see it is we just got out without a scratch, even death missed this guy when he punched her in the face, so what are the punishments we got and someone explain to me why does Leader have daddy issues with a dad like that" asked Leol while comforting his best friend.

It was leader who answered him this time " we get a new student and we have to dismantle the cult we found on our own. No back up from the guild or any organisation including dad, and we have to take you with us because you know too much and might slip up if we leave you in the academy, also we need to get you and the new kid to be level 2 or 3 within a month or risk your life in the mission, that is the second punishment, dad is giving me someone to protect while having to go into the most dangerous cult this world has seen, so yeah, so much headache, and i don't have daddy issues, the old goat is just too protective and nags at me all the time when i play outside for too long and not visit"

"I thought you told us that only orphans are taken into the church, how come you call him dad?" Asked the overly curious Reina "also how are you planning to get us beyond level 1 outside of Tartarus i thought you said that it is impossible to get beyond level 1 without Tartarus, were you lying to us again?" That earned her an ear flick from Lucian.

"Listen here cute little tails" said Leader unable to get angry at the girl "you kids have something that can break the natural laws, how do you think you, a bunch of 10 year olds reached the epitome of level 1 and could defeat a level 2 opponent while working together? The Starheart, as for why i call him dad it's because the old pervert like to play father with pure girls, that is why he took me in when i was 5 and played daddy with me, he was real nice back then, but ever since my first boyfriend he got so protective and always makes me feel like i am 5 again, although he make me want to run away all the time i can't help but love the old goat"

"There something else you guys need to know, we may be meeting the hearts by next month before we head out on the mission, it has something to do with the ring for mister luck here" started Balin " that thing is the guide to the heart of Tartarus and there is a quest left by Adun the twilight star for the guild, find the black fate or find the heart of Tartarus. It has something to do with the death of the hearts ao we are planning to report it and get the rewards for the quest to maybe help you guys grow faster, as for the guild leader he will come back next week with the pope most likely to check on the ring, so i think we should report finding the ring after you guys clean up a nest on your own."

That brought a damper on the mood, the death of the hearts was an apocalyptic event and they had the key in their hands, asides from that, meeting those you are telling will die sooner rather than later is bad no matter how you look at it, as for the training to level 2 or 3 is another bad thing on its own, the hellish training from before will gain an order of magnitude.
