Chapter 44 Monster King??
Olivia, who took me back home, put me in my bed. I couldn't put any effort into taking a bath. Olivia was also tired of today's dungeon, having to fall into each other's arms as we fell asleep.
Third Person POV Headmasters Office
"Headmaster Lorey, there was another report of an irregular monster appearing in a dungeon." A black-haired lady who was in an office lady dress said
"The fifth report this week?" The headmaster solemnly said, getting a beer and downing it. She then looked out the window in an office building, frowning at the current predicament.
"What problems would we face in the future that would make you uneased?" Looking at the expression of the headmaster, she felt something wrong. Given the black-haired lady's trust in the headmaster, seeing her worry about a problem must mean that something wrong would've happened shortly.
"This era's Monster King." She said, cutting it to the chase.
"Mmm-mon-nn-ssteeeer KkkkIiii-nnnggg? We already have problems with the corruption of spirits, the monster king, are you sure?" The black-haired lady stuttered, saying that.
"We haven't had a monster king in a hundred years. The time for one to appear wouldn't be too far from the future." She sighed, knowing what she said was true.
"What do we do about this?" The black-haired lady was scared, unable to think clearly.
"Inform every ruler in the continent. We need to make a meeting about this." The principal left the room and started her preparations on the beast king.
Charlie's POV
I had woken up from my slumber, and Olivia was already awake, absorbing mana, using her time to train. How long had I slept? I wasn't tired anymore. I didn't expect to heal this fast. I could still feel the pain that the serpent did to me, but it was much better than yesterday. I haven't taken a bath since yesterday's excursion, so I will take one now.
I regained the mana I lost yesterday, getting the water in my tube. I sat down feeling pain when I dipped my body in the water. The bruises I had weren't fully healed yet. However, the pain settled when I didn't move from my spot.
Having finished taking my bath, I left the room. Olivia had completed her training and was waiting for me to get out of the bathroom.
"Goodmorning Charlie! Do you feel any discomfort?" Olivia asked if I was still hurt.
"I have a few bruises from yesterday's fight. It wouldn't hinder me that much." I told her not to worry about it.
"I see. Why don't we have lunch so I could have you recover faster?" Seeing that I hadn't eaten anything yet, I agreed.
Having lunch, we talked about what we would do about the earrings we got from the boss.
"Charlie, I think you should take the earrings, I won't be able to use most of them, and I think that you using them would help us progress faster in the dungeon." She didn't hesitate when to say that. She wouldn't mind me having it even if she wanted to.
I had never worn an earring before, so I had never pierced my ears. I wonder how much pain I would feel.
"Are you sure? You seem to really like it." When she first told me about it, her eyes had shined, mentioning it.
Coming up with a way to help her feel better, I thought of an idea. "I see. Why don't we go spend our credits? Then, we can see if there was an artifact that would be a fit for you."
Seeing that we could go shopping, we cheered up. After finishing our lunch, my body felt lighter. The bruise I had in my fight mainly had recovered; by tomorrow, I would be back in total health.
"Olivia, do you know a place where I could get my ears pierced? I never had my ears pierced before, so I'm pretty nervous about getting one." I told my concerns about the earrings to Olivia.
"We can get them pierced after checking what we get in the store. You don't need to be so worried about it. The pricey places have people using the magic, making it feel like nothing!" She chuckled, seeing me worried about something trivial.
The shopping district in this place was huge. The area that we went to was the largest building in the shopping district. The Saint Maria's Mall, how original. What makes this mall unique is that they only accept our earned credits. I wondered what service they would provide in such a place.
Both Olivia and I felt the anticipation of arriving inside the mall. Most of the people we saw here were seniors and workers in this mall. It wasn't surprising, considering we barely had any credits for the first years.
"Why don't we have your ears pierced right away? I want to see you wear those earrings." I didn't mind. In fact, I might as well get this over with.
Going to a professional stylist that has experience in piercing ears. I had my ears pierced, using magic that suppressed my feelings and eased my anxiety. I wasn't someone good with needles.
My earlobe, pierced by the stylist, had healed my ears, so there wouldn't be any swelling and pain afterward. Meaning I could wear my earrings immediately.
Equipping them, I was surprised I didn't feel much of them when wearing them. While my mana was at one hundred percent, I could feel that the speed at that I could regain them was twice as fast. It had a nice feeling to it.
"Wow, you look so pretty!" Olivia praised me when I wore them. These earrings could add some femininity to everything we started shopping for in the academy's biggest mall.
