"Kea.."
MJ ran into the room and embraced Kealin
"You idiot...don't you ever make worry like that okay"
"Yeah"
After some time , Lena and Max joined them
"Konnichiwa , Kea-kun"
"Hey guys what's up" Kealin sat at the edge of the bed as he started to chat with his friends
"Well let's see , not much happened recently except from you getting beaten and all , things have been really quiet" Max said while leaning against a wall
"And is it just me or does it feel like Miss Vanessa is really happy these days"
"I Know right , everytime she looks at Kealin's empty seat that creepy smile just widens" Lena added as she sat beside Kealin
"She must really hate me then" Kealin chuckled remembering his teachers appearance
"So Kea-kun now that your awake , what do you wanna do first?" Max asked Kealin
"Let's see , oh ...I was planning on visiting the maze today "
" What , you wake up and the first thing you do is dive straight into danger" MJ objected Kealin because she wasn't ready to start worrying about him again
"It's okay MJ , we'll look after him this time" Lena said trying to calm MJ down
"Really , like you looked after him last time" MJ snapped back
" Um..."
"Relax MJ , sure Kea-kun is in this condition because of us but this time it'll be different , no brawls and no seniors , promise" Max said
After hearing how care free Max sounded , MJ felt at ease but worry still lingered within her
"You'd better , cause if I find him lying half dead in an alley , you two will be 6 feet under."
Although MJ was in her early thirties , she still looked and acted like she was in her twenties , causing Lena and Max to be really cautious

While walking through the stalls , Kealin kept looking around hoping to find the old man who gave him cube , but it felt as if he had just vanished into thin air.
" Well considering the cubes origins , of course he wouldn't be here" Kealin thought as a disappointed look appeared on his face
"You okay , kea?" Lena asked
It's fine , let's head back "Kealin answered
Just as the trio was about to leave , a familiar voice was heard from behind them
"Hey look it's the shrimp" Marcus said from behind them
"oh no"
Marcus then walked up to Kealin and said
"You really got guts to show your face around here"
"Back off Marcus , we don't want any trouble" Max got in between Kealin and Marcus
"Oh what's this , you friends now Max?" Marcus asked
" So what if we are"
Marcus glanced at Kealin and then at Max
"Haha....oi kid , how about a rematch huh"
"Like hell , Marcus "Lena snapped at him
"Guys it's okay , besides there's something new I wanna try" Kealin said causing a smile to appear on Marcus face .
"But kea"
"I'll be fine Lena trust me"
While heading for the ring a screen appeared in front of him
[Optional quest]
[Do you accept]
[Yes]
[No]
"Master , you have been challenged to a brawl , do you accept?" Chronos asked
"I do" Kealin answered
" Very well , to continue you must choose a class if not even if you defeat your opponent , you won't receive any rewards"
Chronos said to Kealin and suddenly a list of different classes appeared in front of Kealin
[Class]
[Warrior-A melee focused class that excels in combat]
[Mage-A spell casting class that excels in magical damage]
[Healer-A supportive class that restores health to allies]
[Assassin-A class that excels in stealth , agility and deception]
[Alchemist-A class that excels in brewing potions and elixirs]
[Enchanter-A class that excels in imbuing items with magical properties]
"That's quite the list"
"Master , I suggest you choose a class that match with your space and time attribute" Kealin's mind wavered as he looked at the list in front of him , after pondering for a while Kealin asked Chronos
"With my current state , which do you think is more suitable"
" With your current state , the assassin , alchemist and enchanter class would be useless , since you do not possese the skills to use them , the healer class won't help you either , leaving you with two choices the mage class and warrior class" Chronos answered
" Well the warrior class would be good , besides I also don't possese the skills to excel as a mage"
" Although that is true....."
" Currently , you lack combat experience but as a mage , you can control your mana and increase your other stats"
" Hmm...." Kealin pondered for a second before finally deciding
"Alright , Mage it is"
