Requard followed him.
"It's hopeless." he said, sighing. "Let's just go back to town."
"There is a place for that. It's called the Arenas. You should try reading the manual." he said.
"Yeah, but, the thing is, I was speaking the truth." he said, blushing more.
"I remembered some of what happened last night." he said.
"Killing other players isn't what these games are about. They are about meeting others and making friends, as well as having fun." he said.
He smiled back. Then he blushed and looked away.
"No!" he said. "Let's not bring ourselves down to his level. If we PK him, we'll be no better than him. Let's just go."
"Yeah." he said. "I don't understand how you guys can stand that every day."
The longer he stared at the womans face, the clearer it became, until...he woke up at the sound of the bell. He got to his feet and said "Who was she?"
"You're an idiot." he said. "Any smart person would run!"
Hermes had this strange dream of the future. In it, he was still a mortal, but he was happy. There were kids around him and there was a woman at his side. He couldn't make out the woman's face, though.
Hermes soon found himself snoozing again.
Requard dodged and blocked his attacks.
He leaned against the wall. He was bored, but he had to protect Saki no matter what.
Requard saw him coming and blocked his attacks.
He sat down by the door.
Oh wow! I never noticed that! They were clever to do that.
He kept on slashing the monsters, eventually killing some of them.
