Nix nodded his head, thinking of possible excuses in his head.
'Finally, some useful reward that is inanimate.' He shone his teeth, hoping she bought it.
[Hmmm...] Mune kept her gaze fixated on him, but decided against dragging it any further.
[It's about to get absorbed by you] She pointed out, turning her back towards him.
To a degree she was happy at what was going to happen soon, her master was in for a big surprise.
'Wait... what?' Nix saw a ball of white light emerge from the notification, directing it's motion towards Nix.
Whoosh!
He had wanted to jump out of his chair, but was too late, it disappeared once it had touched his head.
His eyes glowed for a moment before it reverted to its normal state.
Realization suddenly dawned on him at that moment. "I had wasted 600 points for nothing?!" He hissed, pulling on his hair.
"What's going on?" Lank's hoarse voice made Nix panicked, pushing the scroll forward, hoping with his angle, all he would see was the edge of the tabletop.
"Nothing is going on, how about you continue sleeping?" Nix suggested.
As much as he wanted to leave the room to continue with his discussion, unlike theirs which just needed a medal pass inserted in the door, Lank's door was much more annoying.
There was no way he could steal his hand to unlock it without waking him up.
He had constantly told himself that he had nothing to worry about when he had made sure he was sleeping, but at that moment, he couldn't think of a good reason why he would be in possession of a scroll in a room clearly belonging to Lank.
"How long have you been awake?" Lank questioned, scratching his eyes and yawning loudly.
Mune crawled to the edge of the tabletop, staring at Lank. She frowned, not because he had woken up, but because he had ruined the reaction she wanted so much to see and hear from her master.
[It's your fault, master. You just had to blurt out, what happens to talking telepathically?] Mune looked over at him.
Mune returned her attention towards Lank, it was time to test out her new powers. Rubbing her hands, a ball of white light gathered, suspending it over her palm, she aimed it at Lank.
Lank had just begun to get a clear glimpse of his surroundings, he was stunned by a glowing white ball aimed at him.
"What the..."
Poof!
It dispersed into a thick cloud of smoke, causing Lank to cough out in discomfort, falling back down on the blanket immediately.
'What did you do to him?' Nix questioned.
[I didn't kill him, obviously] Mune scoffed.
'Oh, so we could just knock out anyone by choice then.' He sarcastically replied.
[If they are about to find out about the secret you hold dear, I wouldn't mind doing it again] Mune shrugged.
Picking her up by pinching on her collar, he moved her to the center of the table.
Mune pouted but never struggled with the way she was handled. Instead her hands were folded, waiting for him to drop her anytime soon.
Nix looked at her plainly, there were sometimes he would forget that she was merely a figment, even though she felt so real.
[If I morph into my adult size, would you still treat me this way?] Mune questioned.
'What's that supposed to mean?' He spoke back, gently placing her on the table.
[Hmph!] She refused to answer. She had better things ahead, and hoped he would realize what he had wanted to say before.
In this kind of moment, she relished in his frustration.
Nix recalled what he had wanted to say earlier, 'could you explain why I had wasted my points on upgrading the inventory when I clearly didn't need it for this reward?'
Mune's lips curved into a smirk, it felt like a slap to his face. She refused to look at him, remaining firm in her decision to not talk with him until he realized his mistake.
'Mune?' He called, pulling on the hem of her dress.
[You would rip my dress if you pull in that way] She warned, zapping him with her powers.
Nix retracted his hand, hissing to the pain he had felt. 'You actually zapped me!' He gasped in shock, rubbing his hand.
[It was for the interest of my dress, except you would like it being a little less, then I would apologize]
'If you were in your adult size, that would have been tempting. But definitely not in your six inch self.' He rolled his eyes at the thought.
Nix raised his hand, he had the urge to flick her, he didn't understand where she had gotten such an attitude from, nor why it looked like she was rebelling against him.
'Okay... okay... I was wrong when I dismissed your usefulness, it was a grave mistake on your master's part.' He placed his hand to his chest.
[And?] Mune stressed, waiting for him to complete the apology.
'There's more?' Nix thought, frowning at the uncalled situation he found himself in.
'I'm sorry that I had blamed you, instead of thanking you for helping me with the issue with Lank. He actually deserved it.' He chuckled at the memory.
Mune turned around, a smile evident on her lips. She had finally been able to get her retribution.
[I could do it again, if you want me to] She clapped her hands in delight.
'You have so many different powers I don't know of.' He observed.
[I don't like to brag] She batted her lashes, feeling shy all of a sudden.
'Right!' Nix rolled his eyes to her explanation, smiling right after.
[You aren't so bad yourself, master. You would eventually become the strongest!] She flew to his hair, ruffling it after several attempts, causing him to laugh at her feeble attempt.
'I suppose I would still need the inventory upgrade sometime soon.' He shrugged, finally coming to terms with the decision he had made.
Calling on his inventory, he wanted to see how much it had changed since it's upgrade
[Inventory available]
[Number of items: 4]
[Storage space: 21]
[Would you like to add an item to the inventory?]
[Y/N]
He looked over at the scroll, he was done with using it for the moment. Rolling and shoving it inside the holder, he had made his decision.
Clicking on the 'Yes' option.
Ding!
[To select the items, touch the desired object]
Touching the scroll, it morphed into a ball of blue light and was transferred into it.
[Number of items: 5]
[Storage space: 20 items only]
'Not bad.' He commented, pleased with the added space he was given.
[Master, it would be unwise to engage Fegan without leveling up like I had advised] Mune commented.
Nix put up his hand to stop her from speaking, he was trying to think of various ways in which he could easily level up without relying on gaining that manually.
After some while, it finally clicked. Snapping his fingers, he smiled at the idea.
'Remember what you had told me before we had gotten to the academy?' He questioned, enthusiasm kicking in instantly at the one way he could think of.
