Chapter 415: Not My Problem Pt.11

Waking up, Lake decided to stay in bed for a while. He had nothing to do today, and Lake only slept for a few minutes each day, meaning he never got to relax like this in what was probably one of the best beds in the world. After 2 hours, Lake got bored and got out of bed.

Just because he had nothing to do for the day didn't mean he wouldn't find something after walking around for a while. He'd also like to continue his magic training because his wind magic was still way behind his speed on the ground, meaning he only moved a tenth of the speed when he chose to fly.

To fix this problem, he would probably need weeks of training in the speed principle, but there was no rush because he really didn't need to fly for anything. "Sir, are you going out of the guild today?"

On the way out of the door, one of his servants asked him a question, which was pretty rare, but he had no reason not to tell them his plans for the day, so he said. "I'm not sure yet. Would you like me to have someone tell you if I leave?"

Lake knew his servants had more freedom if he gave them the day off, so he wasn't surprised they wanted him to free them from the loyalty curse by giving them the day off if he left the guild because otherwise, they would have to stand around and wait for him to return all day. "We would appreciate it, but don't go out of your way."

Lake felt that was fair, so he gave them all a small nod before walking out the door. Lake still hadn't decided where he was going by the time he'd arrived at the stairs, so he paused for a while and weighed his options. Eventually, he saw a person going up walk past him and decided to follow them.

Even though he'd based this decision on almost nothing, there were still plenty of things in the Spire he had never seen, so he felt it was the right choice. It had been a while since he walked the stairs of the spire, but wanting to read the signs well enough to find something to do, this was the only option he had.

After reading about a hundred signs, Lake found an interesting-sounding description of a room he'd never been to before. Trying his badge at the door, Lake found it opened with no problems, which meant he had access to this room. Entering, Lake stayed put for a while as he took in everything that surrounded him.

It came out more like a question than he'd wanted, but it was still received much better than his regular response, so Lake made a note to himself to always use this in the future. Turning back to Joy, Lake said. "I'll come to find you the next time I have a day off. We can do something then."

As he walked away, Lake got a glimpse of the person he'd tested thought transmission on and decided to say sorry as he walked out of the cafeteria so they wouldn't freak out about this for the rest of their life. "Sorry, I Was Testing A New Skill, And You Were The First Person I Saw."

After his second transmission to them, he saw their face shift from worry to anger, but he understood because, to them, it would have been like a mean-spirited prank someone they didn't know had just pulled on them.

Once he was out of the cafeteria, Lake took a second to think of what he should do next. He really expected Joy to want to hang out because it would mean she wouldn't be working, but a funeral was definitely more important than a day off to most people, so he understood why she had said no.

It didn't change that he needed to find something else to pass the time with, though. "I guess I'll just go and practice." Practicing was bland, but so was walking around for no reason.

...

Waking up, Lake got straight out of bed and headed for Lucas' office. Today was the day they were heading to the Metal Domain, and Lake wanted to ask when they would be leaving since they had never spoken about it yesterday.

On the way out the door, he didn't forget what his servant had asked of him yesterday and said. "You three can have the day off." Even if he would be here for a few more hours, he didn't need them for anything that he could think of. "Thank you, sir."

Once he was in Lucas' office, Lake noticed a distinct lack of Lucas at the desk and used the mark he'd placed on his amulet a long time ago to look for him in fear he'd already left for some reason. Once the mark appeared, Lake found Lucas was only in the next room, most likely asleep for the first time in days.

Like yesterday, he had nothing to do, so Lake took a seat in the chair in front of Lucas' desk to wait for him to wake up. He didn't think it would be a very long wait if Lucas was anything like him, at most a few hours, which he could pass speed training.
