Nova put all the cats in the cat carrier right after they finished their food. All of them purred, trying to get attention from him and Elesch, as Elesch petted them softly, her fingers touching their fur, through the square gaps in the front of the carrier.

Nova held the carrier up as Elesch opened and locked the door, the duo ready to train with Adam and the others, especially since everyone, since the past year, had gotten so much stronger than before.

Most Adventurers around the world had, and some even exclaimed the year to be the Year of the Adventurers. Even Marcus, who was usually too busy to try to level up like a normal Adventurer, had gained a pillar on his Circle of Pillars.

Nova and Elesch made it inside the guild, going up to the eighth floor, cracking their necks and other body parts, as the metallic door split apart. They exited, as the elevator closed, and left them to go even higher.

Zane and Michael were helping each other stretch, as Adam was getting a lesson from Marcus on what seemed like some martial arts moves. As Zane was helping Michael stretch, he gave a slight downward nod, as if acknowledging the duo coming in, while overstretching Michael's hamstring, causing them to cramp.

Needless to say, Michael may not participate in today's training session. Zane tried to help mitigate the pain, but instead further deepened, Michael's neck veins rising to the surface, as he felt an enormous amount of physical and mental pain.

Michael told Zane he was fine before Zane fucked up even more. Zane headed towards Nova and Elesch, who had stopped in their tracks, too stunned to move or speak, their eyes just watching as Zane approached them.

"Sucks to him, I didn't think his hamstrings would be that weak. I mean shit," Zane said, shaking his head slightly. He took a quick peek back at Michael, who was rolling like a ball back and forth, as if in some sort of oscillation.

"Yeah... man... that fucking sucks," Nova said nervously, as he took a slight step back, Zane not even noticing it. "I mean, sometimes your body just doesn't wanna do something, so maybe we shouldn't push it."

"Yeah, I don't know why he pushed it so much. I mean, he should have told me to stop, but he didn't do anything. This is a guy I have to deal with on a day-to-day basis."

"That sucks," Nova nodded.

Elesch didn't even speak and didn't trust Zane, so she quietly took the cat carrier and scooted over to Adam and Marcus. Her expression changed from a nervous, confused smile to a calm relief, as if she didn't want to provoke Zane, and she was successful at it.

"Anyways, we went to this strip club yesterday," Zane started. "And man, you wouldn't believe what happened,"

Nova forced a polite grin. "Oh yeah?"

Zane nodded with exaggerated enthusiasm. "Yeah. So, this dance comes up, she's got, like, the wildest mana tattoo I've seen. Like that shit was moving, dude. Like actually crawling across her skin. I swear it reacted to the music. Marcus would've lost his mind if he saw it."

Marcus, still demonstrating a joint-lock to Adam across the room, didn't so much as glance in their direction.

Elesch, pretending to be invested in Adam's training, whispered to Marcus, "How long do we have to deal with him before he turns back into his normal self?"

Marcus's mouth quirked slightly. "Until he runs out of stories, or oxygen. Or maybe even when the clock hits nine and training officially starts."

Zane leaned in even closer; his breath was hot against Nova's ears. "Alright, so that tattoo girl's finished her routine, and we're going to one of them VIP booths. Like, after a minute of entry, she fucking removes her thong, shoving it aside, and just pushes me on the bed as she gets on, and I can feel her pussy just grind down on me."

"Oh, wait, wait, wait," Nova shook his head, thinking that whatever Zane had just described was definitely false, since this guy hadn't even lost his virginity yet. "You definitely are making that up, there's no way, a virgin like you would be having a girl ride you like a fucking horse."

"Why are you hating on me. Like, chill, man. It gets even better." Zane looked disappointed as they went towards Michael.

Nova decided to ease Michael's hamstring like a real doctor would, and helped him feel the pain receding away into nothingness, as Zane continued his story, which Nova felt was extremely false.

"Then, her mana tattoo, which starts at her throat, started to move around. It coiled against her tits, and these were some nice, juicy double D's, man. And her nipples were rock hard, and then she took off her bra. Then she unzips me, and my cock springs out, and the rest is history, like I mean we probably fucked all night long, and it's also nice considering she doesn't fuck anyone else."

Nova knew Zane was bullshiting him, and just couldn't quite have enough evidence. "Did you get her number at least, since apparently, you have finally lost your virginity?"

"Of course, we're literally dating now. I mean that thick is hot,"

"What the fuck," Nova said, nodding his head in astonishmentatf at the vivid details Zane had provided him. But that was the normal Zane, the real normal Zane, but no filter, and a person whom you could trust fully.

Across the room, Adam fumbled a block under Marcus's grip, nearly face-planting, while Elesch buried her face in the cat carrier, muttering sweet nothing under her breath.

The clock struck nine, Zane's personality taking a complete one-eighty, as his demeanor changed into seriousness. Everyone huddled up, even Michael, who felt a sense of relief after Nova had helped him.

As everyone got into a group, Adam finally got a handle on the technique Marcus was teaching and got into formation for their training.
