“We have three and a half weeks to get to Tier-3; I hope everyone didn’t blow their cash on stupid ** because if we are going to pull this off, we will have to be clever and disciplined.” Taking another bite, Cynrik quickly finished off his chicken and explained his new plan.

“Even if you did burn all your money on useless **, I would like to believe that you guys got enough resources to pick your Sub-Classes.

Looking around the table and noticing the embarrassed look on Gabby and Benny’s faces, Cynrik angrily stabbed his mac and cheese with a spoon before shoveling it into his mouth.

“Hah, I seriously hope you are only trolling me right now.” Glancing from the Sanford siblings to his brother and back to the two kids, Cynrik shook his head, stood up, and picked up his and Selene’s dirty dishes.

“I am retiring to my bedroom; I need to start working. Between claiming my Tamer Sub-Class, power leveling, setting up my new Engineering equipment, and of course, HATCHING MY BIRBS; there is too much to do and too little time to do so.” While he spoke, Cynrik walked over to the garbage can, stepped on the handle that popped the lid open, scraped the excess food bits into the bin, and tossed the dishes into the dishwasher.

“Come along, Sel; you can help me set things up.”

At his command, Selene bounced up and followed after her boyfriend, with their earlier conversation still playing in her mind. The words ‘There is a place in my heart that belongs solely to you’ replayed on a loop as she endearingly stared at the back of Cynrik’s head.

“Oh, and one more thing.” Stopping between the living room and the hallway to the bedrooms, Cynrik suddenly spun around, causing Selene to bump into his chest absentmindedly.

“Good job today, everyone, er I mean the last three weeks….tsk you get what I am saying. All of you fought hard and reaped the rewards; now, use them to get stronger so we can win this tournament.” With that said, Cynrik caught Selene by the hand and dragged her into his bedroom, but not before closing and locking the door.

With the two Dark Affinity users gone, Brance, Gabby, and Benny sat in stunned silence for a moment..

“Did Big Bro Cyn just…compliment us…” Gabby started.

“Without adding any backhanded comments….” Brance continued.

“He took Selene into his room again and locked the door…you guys don’t think….” Scrunching his face up, Benny looked between his sister and Brance.

“I mean, It would be in Big Brother’s character to have makeup s*COUGH*!” Before Brance could say the last word, Gabby chopped him in the chest, making him cough loudly for a moment.

“Stop; I don’t want to hear it; there are things I don’t want to picture, and those two doing the deed is at the top of the list.” Rubbing her arms to comfort herself, Gabby said after punishing her boyfriend.

“True that, anyway, Benny, you’ve got all the skill booklets you need for your Epic Class, right?” Rubbing the spot on his chest that Gabby had chopped, Brance quickly changed the topic not to upset his girlfriend; who knew what the girl could do when pissed off? Brance had never seen it happen and wasn’t about to find out either.

“Yeah, from the rewards from the Twenty-Second floor, I got the two basic Blacksmithing skills, and then I got the Epic skill book, so once I use all three, I should have at least a couple of different Blacksmithing Classes unlocked,” Benny stated as he got up and cleaned his dishes.

“That’s excellent, Benny, Gabby; I know you bought all the basic potioneering and Alchemy equipment and books. Although you can’t set up a lab here since we don’t have the space, you can still use the books and unlock your Sub-Class.” Nodding at Benny, Brance patted Gabby’s head as he retrieved her dirty dishes and went to clean them.

“Yep, yep. I also bought a bunch of seeds and…some new clothes and some other miscellaneous things.” Turning her head and staring at Brance’s ass as he walked, Gabby had to exert some effort to tear her eyes away before speaking, but if one looked closely, they would have noticed the slight blush on her cheeks when she talked about the clothing she had bought.

Even though she wouldn’t explicitly state it aloud, she had bought a few things that Selene would be proud of her for, all for the future eyes of her boyfriend.

“Okay, everyone to the living room. We can all pick our Sub-Classes, but first, I need to have you both put all your XP crystals in a pile, separated by how much Essence they contain. That way, when we get the classes locked in, we can start leveling them up.” Walking back to Gabby, Brance pulled back her chair so she could stand up and pushed it back once she was clear.

The three then made their way to the living room as a group and, standing in front of their favorite couches, started piling up the thousands of small thumb-sized milky white XP crystals on the multiple coffee tables in the center of the room. Each table had a different pile, one for 1k Crystals, one for the 2k, one for 10k, and the last and largest table was for the 20k crystals acquired.

By the time they finished, the three couldn’t help but admire the sheer amount of energy held on the four tables. The piles represented something that would otherwise take months or even years to acquire, yet for them, all it took was a simple trip to the first Obelisk.

“Looking at it like this, we went crazy with the kills, didn’t we?” Brance chuckled and looked over at the Sanford siblings, who only nodded in response.

“Alright, *Clap*, let’s get down to business.” Wearing a pleasant smile, Brance clapped his hands together, signaling it was time to get to work.

However, when he said the last bit of his sentence, the voice of Selene and Cynrik, who were eavesdropping from Cynrik’s bedroom, entered the mind link as they began singing.

TO DEFEAT, THE HUNS! *C*

DID THEY SEND MEEEE DAUGHTTERSSSS!!! *S*

WHEN I ASKED FOR SONNNNS!!! *C*

YOURE A SPINELESS PALE PATHETIC LOT, *S*

AND YOU HAVEN’T GOT A CLUE!! *C*

SOMEHOW, I’LLLL MAKE A MANNN OUT OF YOUUUU!!! *C

/S*

Will you two shut the hell up and go ** or something! I don’t have the patience to deal with your bull** right now! Frowning and resisting the urge to smash the nearest table, Brance growled in response to the two Dark Affinity User’s singing.

Currently lying in bed with Selene on top of the blankets, Cynrik turned on his HoloTV and watched the rest of the party through the monitoring program he had hacked.

So when Brance had queued the line from a famous song, Cynrik and Selene couldn’t help but harass him with it.

However, when Brance mentioned doing something dirty, Selene scooted closer to her boyfriend and tossed her leg over his waist while giving him flirty eyes.

“No, Sel, it ain’t happening. We can mess around and flirt, but you know as well as I do that until we reach the legal age, we can only go so far.” Rolling his eyes as he smacked her ass lightly, Cynrik chided her actions.

“Hmph, not fair; we aren’t children; why do we have to conform to those bull** rules.” Pouting, Selene rubbed her leg on Cynrik, teasing him enough that he could feel the heat start pooling in his lower half.

“Enough,” Pinching her plump thigh, he removed her leg calmly and sat up before swinging his legs over the edge of the queen-sized bed.

“I’ve told you before about my suspicions that our Watcets monitor our hormone levels and vital signs. I believe that if we do anything to spike them too heavily or cause our bodies to react simultaneously in a certain way, some kind of signal will be sent out to the Academy.”

Sighing because he too wanted to mess around with Selene as much as she did, Cynrik stood up and started dumping all the items he bought on the floor of his room.

“Not to mention, you saw the glare I got from Geralt when he saw the little PDA (public display of affection) moment we had in front of him. It’s just not a good idea to push it too far, no matter how much we want to.”

“We simply don’t know the extent of the biological monitoring happening with our bodies. So far, nothing has happened when we do our little…breather sessions over text or video, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the Headmaster is onto us. Thus we need to chill out a bit.”

“Sigh, I know, darling~ but it’s hard, especially when you look so delicious all the time, teehee.” Giggling, Selene joined Cynrik and started pulling out the skill books necessary for her to unlock her LeatherWorking Sub-Class.

“Tsk, you’re the one who looks like a freaking snack all the time Sel, especially in your workout clothes; not sure you realize the level of restraint it takes for me to not pounce on you with how you flaunt your assets so openly around me.” Narrowing his eyes and blatantly staring at Selene’s chest, Cynrik clicked his tongue in admiration, wishing he had X-ray vision.

Noticing his line of sight, Selene giggled and gave him a little treat by pulling down on the center of her sports bra just enough to expose some of what was hidden underneath.

“Temptress, don’t think I won’t throw caution to the wind and ravage you right now; consequences be damned.” Leaning forward and flicking a specific spot in barely hidden from sight, Cynrik uttered with a primal growl.

“Nnngh, HEY, I’M SENSITIVE THERE, PUNK!” Even if she was, the sensation received by Cynrik’s flick sent a sharp tingle through her whole body, which drew an inevitable sexy moan from her lips in response.

“Heh, I know; why do you think I did it? Now put your chest away so we can get to work. We need to get your Sub-Classe set up so you can use enough crystals to cap its level.” Rolling his eyes and reluctantly calming himself down, Cynrik picked up the first of three skill books necessary to unlock the Tamer class.

Smirking as all three books appeared in his notifications, Cynrik quickly tapped yes on all three windows, flooding his mind with information from the first two books and a special message from his third.
