Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army
/ Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army 33 lucky star
Tuesday morning, the three youngsters left their room in silence, neither of them wanted to practice this morning, they did not even want to wake up this early, but they had to for the sake of their future selves, so they started by doing 2 laps on the field, Reina did finish both laps out of sheer will, then they proceeded to do 10 sets of each of the three basics, then they sat down and started counting a divergent series, correcting each other. They chose to reduce the amount of physical workout for two reasons, first to keep Reina from feeling left behind, secondly in an attempt to lower the burden they place on their bodies especially after the harsh training from yesterday. While the kids were singing the divergent series a piece of a red hot rock bounced of Yunan's head, leaving behind a bald patch of burned hair the size of a fist, then landing in the middle of the sitting three.
"Let me see"Reina offered to check the existence of a wound on Yunan who was clutching his head from the pain of the impact, while Leol was checking the oddly smooth stone cooling down in front of them. A crisp sweet laugh sounded from Reina who tried to hide her mouth while giggling, it drew the attention of Leol who looked at Yunan and was in dire need to laugh himself, Yunan touched his head where the stone hit him, he did not feel anything was wrong until he touched the unburnt hair outside of that area, an ugly look appeared on his face, he had a fist sized bald patch on his head, visible to all who looked at it. "You can laugh, but only this time, so get it out of your system" said Yunan with a sad voice and was about to throw away the stone that offended him, but then he felt the oddly smooth glassy feeling that is not part of how rocks usually feel, so he pocket it instead to keep it as a trinket.
While Leol and Reina could barely stop laughing before they start again after looking at Yunan abd and his bald patch, they walked to the room and yunan put on a hat to cover his head, he wanted to find a barber immediately and do something about his hair but there would not be anyone open at this hour, so he decided to go after the morning lesson, and steeled himself for the jeering he would get from debauchery.
Yunan laid back on his bed feeling something was off he asked his roommates. "Why are you so energetic, aren't you supposed to be tired and have sore muscles from all the work yesterday? I am used to doing morning training, so it is understandable that my constitution is better than yours and can have energy, but how come you have energy when you have such bad constitution". "I don't know, ever since i started laughing i felt better, all the soreness was fading away" chirped Reina. "Same here" shrugged Leol. "I don't know what is going on but we should report it to debauchery, they may have an idea". The three agreed by nodding and then went for breakfast ate hastily, then ran to hall 5.
As expected the welcome party made of Fae and Balin was waiting at the door, when Yunan saw them coming over he removed his hat and the sudden appearance of the bald patch took the two by surprise long enough for Leol to move Reina inside the hall, followed momentarily by the roaring laughter of Balin and Fae. Yunan came inside the hall and got everyone but leader on their knees. After every one calmed down, Leader looked at Lucian for an explanation since he was in charge of their security, he simply answered "hit by a meteor", that earned him a round of congratulations, it takes a huge amount of luck to get hit by a meteor.
The chances of being hit by a meteorite is a few million times less than the chance of being hit by lightning. The party carried a strange ritual of stealing some of his luck, Yunan was not sure if the ritual was a joke or not but he did not dare ask, the ritual was simple, caress the bald patch and kiss it, and make Yunan say "i bless you with half my luck for the rest of your life".
Before leader got the chance to start the training, Yunan stopped her to inquire about the strange thing about this morning. "Leader, after the the meteorite hit me, our bodies started feeling better, i thought it was normal for me since i have good physic, but then i noticed Leol and Reina also getting more energized ever since they started laughing, when we came back to the room i asked them about it they said even the discomfort from yesterday was disappearing fast, any ideas why did that happen ?"
Dustan answered him first "there a few things that can cause the same, the most likely is the ingredients for food, but that is not the only thing, a rejuvenation blessing, or maybe a break through in your constitution, so it is not very strange that tiredness can disappear suddenly". "We can rule those out" said Lucian " there was no magic cast on them while i was sitting there, and the food never had any effect before and there is no way the guild would use level 4 or higher ingredients on an academy when there are endless aristocrats who would pay endless money for it, as for constitution breakthrough, it is very unlikely to happen to children let alone in the same time, so that is ruled out too."
As if hit by an epiphany, Balin grabbed onto Yunan excitedly "the meteorite, where is it? Did you keep it? Answer me baldy, quickly" while Yunan was about to answer, Bai intervened and pulled Balin away saying "he can not be that lucky, don't get the boy excited for nothing", "he was lucky to bit hit by a meteorite so what are the odds?" asked Fae. "About a few million times lower, i also think we should not get our hopes high" Leader got in the cryptic conversation.
Yunan took out the meteorite, and throw it to Balin while asking "what are you guys talking about? It is just a glassy smooth rock, what could it do?" debauchery looked at the stone in the hands of Balin and in unison they said """lucky bastard!"""
