My Parasite Skill System
Chapter 171 - Learning The Ropes, Finally
My presence up there wasn't mandatory. So it was cool. Or maybe it was, actually. I wasn't sure. Could I leave? Could I not?
Well, I'm already out~. That's too late now. You can't blame me, hehe. Nobody can. The studying was way too boring. Blame the studying.
I went out. The double rustic door was opened. My parasite self could go out just finely. Therefore, that was just what I would do.
❮'Learning the ropes!' – The Player has had enough of all this tedious studying: head out by the entrance of the Amphitheater and meet with your Party. 0/1❯
'Learning the ropes,' it says. That's just what I need, after all this wasting of my time. Learning the ropes of my future adventuring all around the world, having all the fun in it is needing doing.
And if not by myself with the system, I'd never get to learn these ropes it talks about.
The theoretical class was useless, and the practical outside the total opposite.
I was happy. I finally decided to get out. This was the right thing to do, I thought while still steadily leaping onward.
I'd just gone out of my area and got into one big hall. Many people were in there, as usual. It never got empty. As we were still in midday, the chances of it being empty were even lesser.
I leaped and leaped and leaped. Doing just so, I got myself in between one wall of this hall and one big wooden panel. It was enough of leaping, jumping, and hopping around.
You'd have guessed it, nobody could see the weirdo me, hiding in between that wooden display panel and the wall; when poof!–I'd grown into a humanoid again.
"Yes, hm … nobody sees me. Good. Let us depart towards my advent."
And chasing all awkwardness out of my being getting out of this doubtful safe spot painfully coughing in my fisted hand, I naturally got out and was part of this human society again.
Good, good, good. Very good. I am out, and not even a problem befalls me yet. Very good, indeed.
This hall was huge. As it linked and connected both the huge Institution, one of the many quarters of the Guild, it was natural for it to be this huge.
As for the Institution, it was about all the schooling stuff. There were libraries that I couldn't number, also countless chambers of studying all around the block, the reception and so much more I either had yet to see or had seen but somehow forgot about it since too boring.
It was huge and covered so many fields. I couldn't care less about all that, though.
The other stuff interested me more.
The present quarter of the Guild, on the other hand, wasn't all that big. It wasn't taking up too much place, from what I was told.
Since only a few of the apprentices ever opt for turning themselves into adventurers (that weren't even making up for the better part of the Guild members, by the way), the Guild being present here was more of accommodation and convention rather than something really useful to the masses.
It was little. But it still was a lot to me since I guess that part of the Institution was interesting to me.
There were training grounds–that was epic–you could call them playing grounds if you so pleased.
There were also all sorts of armory selling great deals of weapons and equipment of any kind and any quality, it seemed to me.
Also, mini-lodges sort of thing in the heart of the Guild area where you'd be finding real sorts of masters and trainers; actual members of their respective different branches: paladins, knights, lames, berserkers, gladiators, and so on (these were only about the swordsmen whom I was kinda interested in) going towards the infinite!
More importantly, though, what even greater was there in those fields, hm???
Well … dun, dun, dun!–quests!... but of course! The quests were the best about this place. Quests meant adventures. Adventures meant fun.
That very feature about the quests of this place was just for me!
And I'd suspected I wasn't the only one receiving quests, yes. After all, back on the battlefields, there were people doing that, accomplishing quests.
Which then meant?... "I was born for the sake of this!... that's so great!" I let out, joyfully, still treading on.
The Player had had enough of studying–the Player was, as such, invited to go on out to meet with his friends and party.
That's what the quest stated. And it was my quest. Not the Guild's, nor anyone else's. It was mine. So I was still greater than all the other adventurers out here, "Ku, ku, ku!"
They had no quests of mine, after all. So I still win.
And my quest was about, I quote, learning the ropes of the job.
My job would be an adventurer's.
And so, I'll be learning that from now on, most likely.
Getting out of this gigantic welcoming hall, there really was the outside, now. I started down the stairs, and very quickly, I bumped into 'them.'
Well, I obviously waited for that. And at last, the guide could guide me to them. It was Clumsy Babe's party.
They didn't see me, but I saw them.
After my comfy shoes climbed down the entirety of these lengthy stairs, going down in between the lofty pillars standing propping the still continuing roof going above me, I hopped down on the reddish cobblestones of the ground.
They were situated a bit further ahead down the stairs on the right side. I didn't know what they were doing here. The team of adventurers simply seemed to be standing on the side here, with no purpose at all.
How weird and amusing, now. Many other folks passed this way, either climbing up or down the stairs as they'd go; but this very group stayed there, talking among themselves.
The stairs weren't a tough enough opponent for me. With lengthy jumps, I'd arrived down the last of them without even stumbling once.
"See," I muttered to myself, "I've sure come a lonnnng, long, long way."
The stairs were no longer my match.
And I proceeded towards this group of adventurers I'd locked my sight onto.
What was their name again? Well? I don't remember anymore? I've tried myself at it anyway. Hm. I guess I'll just stick to my ways of naming people, heh.
Their team really was weird and amusing to me. Counting them all (last time I saw the party they were four), there was the sharp Leader, the sluggish Mindful Slug, and one last other.
Very amusing indeed. And was that the way towards which the System's guide guided me?
Of course it was. I clearly saw and felt it. This was the party.
Where was the one whom I'd bumped into when we both fell? Where was my clumsy babe at, too??
Nowhere to be found, and yet that's the Party.
Maybe they'll come around. That isn't too much important anyhow.
Well, how should I go about doing that, now?
My steps took me to them. I tapped Leader's back, cleared my throat, and opened a brief speech:
"Yo!–mind if I accompany you guys out here???... please."
"Oh, hey, is that?... Little Man. We bump into each other again," he said.
"Leader. We bump into each other again," I confirmed.
"C–could it be the one child … who has helped last time?... oh yes, I recognize the green hair."
"He's the one and only one, yup. … And what brings you here, Little Man?"
"I've come to … come with you guys–with you people, if you wouldn't mind … my presence. To learn. And to experience. And because it's fun?... (is it fun to you guys, though?) and also, hm, yes, I just want to accompany you out … as per the quest."
Leader crouched down to me, and he said, "Out, but as in, where, Little Man? I'm not following."
"Out, out. Out, adventuring. Out, with the adventurers. Out, getting the quests done. … Out …"
"–I understand, I understand, okay, sure. But, I mean, well: why us?" he said, finally hesitantly turning to his two silent comrades behind him.
Yes.
Well, I'm already out~. That's too late now. You can't blame me, hehe. Nobody can. The studying was way too boring. Blame the studying.
I went out. The double rustic door was opened. My parasite self could go out just finely. Therefore, that was just what I would do.
