Ch.17
The time Adam was sleeping it turns out that he actually sleeping, he was instead missing. The people gathered around were surprised that the missing boy had returned.
That night everyone who lived in the house sat around the table with serious looks. Everyone actually thought the monster of monsters had killed him, within the days he had been missing a strange new monster appeared killing every strong monster in the area then not so long ago it went up against a strong monster church knocked it out but soon returned in just a few minutes killing the monster in just one single swipe of it's claws then going off killing the rest but it had disappeared not so long ago.
Adam actually went missing for months leading into the next year, he heard all the news but he was thinking of was his crush as how she felt about his death which motivated him to take the ReExm earlier than he had planned. The next day the people ordered him to stay and take a rest but what they didn't know is that he had returned for more than a month and he still decided to keep it secret. Arrived at school and he immediately went to the office to explain the situation but obviously told a lie about what actually happened, the teachers looked very skeptic about the whole story but they couldn't deny the fact he had gone missing for months with no traces. The teachers asked him to wait for a few hours and in that time he could visit his classmates but he chose to go pack up some of the things that'll be useful. The teachers soon got back and with them there 2 newcomers who were coming with Adam.
Adam said Nothing to then as they headed off to the forest, this ReExm will be one that takes two or three days at it's best. Upon arriving at the forest they were greeted with a large horde of monsters but they soon scattered upon seeing them and only a few were left which they headed into combat with. The monsters were too weak to even cause a sweat. Adam soon found the names of the two newcomers during battle but he was told them the first time they met which was before they entered the forest.
"These kids how do you think they'll act once they see your true potential?." The knight was busy talking with Adam which made him forget the names of the two people once more.
"I get why you are asking that question and it's because you that I'll have to act accordingly so that the can depend on me. Adam now felt like an older brother who had to take care of his little siblings. The sun went down and Adam was Gavin a great time cooking the meat he had captured all alone cause he's the bigger brother whoever was cooking for his little siblings.
The two newcomers saw how easy it would be to manipulate him so they kept on acting like little brats with ulterior motives. The first day for the ReExm started and Adam went off taking the lead while the two brats laughed behind his back. Some beasts on the road appeared and obviously the brats nothing but act frightened,leaving Adam to handle them all alone and he had some ups and downs before he could even defeat one of them.
"Look how weak he is, yet he acts like a strong leader."
*Uber I can defeat that beast with one hand."
The brats now started talking bad about him. The first day went with out a hintch. Adam was now feeling all brotherly to the point that he did everything for them. The second day was very proactive as the Cyclops ha left some footprints which led to it's cave. Adam took the whole afternoon tracking it down and he soon noticed that it is not in the cave meaning that they had to wait until morning in order to fight it and get the special gem. That night the brats decided to show their true colours once they heard that they'd had to fight in tomorrow's battle. ..
"You idiot!! aren't you strong enough to to defeat it?!"
"You so stupid to come here without the strength to defeat a Cyclops!"
"I bet you girlfriend is extremely imbecilic to date someone like you!!"
"Uhhhhh.. I don't have one I have a cru….*
"Oh! So your crush is super dumb I bet!!" And it was at this moment when Adam decided to see these brats as nothing but NPC's.
He acted very coldly after that last statement but not right after he stopped himself from grabbing the brat by the throat. He went to sleep and in the morning he had already left with everything. The brats now had to fend for themselves but they didn't know how to survive in a forest without a leader like Adam. Meanwhile Adam was busy creating a bunch of noises in the cave which the Cyclops resided in.
Trrrrrcha!!!! Chaaaa chaaa!!! The Cyclops finally showed up with the special gem on it's forehead just right above the one eye.
The two brats crawled up in their tents as they heard the strange sounding noises in the distance thinking that it's a monster coming for them but it was just Adam. The brats had no idea on how the the situation would go if the monster actually shows up at the camp especially as they had thrown away their weapons behind Adam's back just to prove to themselves that they are more stronger than the one acting leader.
Adam drew out his steel sword readying for battle a s the Cyclops readyed it's huge mace club.
