Chapter 129 - Dungeon

___________________________

---The next day---

In some area of Qishan,

A yellow haired boy could be seen carrying a bag of fruits on his hands heading somewhere but was stopped seeing a skinny kid on the ground. The yellow haired boy put down the fruits that he had as he immediately ran towards the kid wanting to know if he's alright.

"Hey, are you okay?" The yellow haired boy asked wanting to wake up the kid seeing that he's alive.

The yellow haired boy tried to wake the kid up but no matter hard he tried, the kid doesn't seem to respond. The yellow haired boy became trouble not knowing what to before he decided to take the kid with him as he carried him up towards his place not knowing that the person he just helped would greatly change his life.

In the Palace Hall,

John could be seen standing on the window looking at the tower-like structure on the place fully knowing what it was.

"John, is that what they call Dungeon?" Yamraiha asked upon getting closer to his side while also looking at the tower.

"Yeah." John replied whether to steal the Djinn inside or not but the thought that future would greatly change made up his mind not to steal it.

"Eeeh, so that's a dungeon." Pisti who just arrived on their side looked at the tower with interest upon seeing one for the first time.

John looked at the dungeon waiting for a certain kid to come as he arrived a bit earlier than him but all he knew was that it was around this time that the story would begin.

"John, do we need to stay here a little longer?" Yamraiha said as she leaned on John as she felt too bored in this small city.

"Hmmm, Yes, we will leave this place after the people Pasine sent will arrive." John replied as he knew that they were already on their way here while Shadow Soldier Solomon was already with him after being called.

"It's Morgiana." Pisti said after seeing Morgiana entered the palace as the two already became close in just a week's time.

Hearing Pisti, John and Yamraiha then looked back to see Morgiana before seeing her looking at John.

"Yo, Morgiana. How's your night?" John asked upon seeing Morgiana as he knew what she was doing last night.

"I want to spar." Morgiana replied. She really wanted to spar again against John wanting to test the result of her late night training yesterday.

"Okay then." John replied hearing Morgiana's request as this has become their way of communication.

___________________________

Training Field,

John and the others then went to the training field again but it was now already been renovated seeing that it became much more fomidable than yesterday after being nearly destroyed.

"Is this what you can do after training late last night?" John provoked while blocking Morgiana's attack but he could tell that she was getting better and better in using Renewal Taekwondo.

Morgiana didn't reply but her face showed a look of anger seeing that even what she trained last night was still not enough to fight against John.

"Hehehe." John sneered seeing her face before suddenly stopping after one of his shadow soldier perceived something.

"Why did you stop?" Morgiana who was about to attack suddenly halted upon seeing John lowering his guard down thinking something had just happened.

"Nothing." John said before attacking Morgiana but he was actually happy deep inside him after finally the time has come upon knowing that person he was waiting to arrive.

"Tch." Morgiana blocked John's kicked as she flew back before gaining her composure again seeing John intentionally lowered his guard to make her distracted.

"You're still weak, Morgiana. There were a lot I knew who were much stronger than you in using this Martial Arts." John said thinking back on those warrior women of Artemrya who constantly training for the years that had passed.

"But it will only take time before you surpassed them and that is solely because you're a Fanalis." John said as he dashed forwards initiating an attack seeing Morgiana's surprised expression.

Morgiana lost in thought for a second upon hearing John's words which she couldn't evade his attack anymore on time and could only take it head on.

.....Boom.....

Morgiana flew and crashed to a building after blocking John's normal kick leaving her immediately fell unconscious.

"Crap, I think I went too far. Hahaha." John laughed while scratching his head after suddenly became excited upon the news that he just received earlier.

"John, you minnie." Pisti said as she immediately head to Morgiana seeing her already unconscious.

"Sorry about that." John said before also heading towards Morgiana making her eat a magic bean and carried her.

Shortly after that, the group then head back to the palace leaving the place needing for renovation again

---Night---

In a dining hall in the palace,

John, Yamraiha, and Pisti were already eating as the moon were already up leaving Morgiana on her room still not waking up.

"Yamraiha, three days from now, two person will come here and I want you to watch them." John said while eating as he wanted to greet them and leave some shadow soldier behind for monitoring.

"Hmmm, it's rare to see you interested. Tell me, what so special about these two person?" Yamraiha asked thinking who are these two people who has John's eyes on them.

"Hmmm, actually only one of them was significant and that is because he is Magi." John replied while imagining how it's like to have a Magi as a shadow soldier.

"Magi? As in those legendary Magi?" Yamraiha was shocked upon hearing John as the thought of meeting one was such a rare situation.

"Ohhh, right. The boy that I often talk to you about, he just arrived here early in the morning and to tell you honestly, he is also a Magi." John replied while smiling seeing Yamraiha's expression who was greatly in shocked upon his words.

"T-Then there will be two Magis here after three days?" Yamraiha couldn't proerly take the news as the thought that one legendary Magi was coming to this small city while the other one was had just arrived earlier.

"Yeah." John answered which right after that, Yamraiha then stsrted bombarding him a lot of question leaving Pisti who just let herself focused on eating since she wasn't interested on what they were talking.

Morgiana's room,

After a long sleep, Morgiana could now be seen looking at the ceiling thinking back what happened earlier. She thought that John really was mysterious and powerful and the thought that he still wasn't doing his best makes her frustrated for some reason.

"Strong. I want to become strong." Morgiana said as she stretched out her hand towards the ceiling while getting excited after remembering that there other people who were stronger than her in using Renewal Taekwondo from John's words.

---Two days later, Night---

Outside the dungeon entrance,

Two person could be seen looking at the entrance which was now free to all people whoever wanted to try their luck.

"So this is a dungeon." One of them who seems like a kid said looking at the tower while holding something like a flute hanging on his neck.

"Yes, a place were your wishes would come true." A yellow haired boy said as he looked nervously at the dungeon entrance before looking at the kid next to him.

"Hey, mister. Do you want to enter the dungeon too?" The kid asked suddenly upon seeing a person who just arrived and stand next to them.

"Yeah, I want to try my luck." The person replied politely which was actually John who was waiting for their arrival while smiling seeing them still head towards this place at night even though they could come here anytime. 0

"How about coming with us, mister?" The blue haired kid asked while smiling inviting John to join them since he felt he was not a bad person.

On the other hand, the yellow haired boy, next to the kid couldn't help but looked at John. He knew Aladdin possesed a Metal Vessel since he saw it once after three days of living with him but the thought that someone else would join them bothered him especially the man they were talking to as he was sure that no one was following them earlier.

"Is that really okay?" John asked before looking at the yellow haired boy seeing him became cautious on him.

"Of course, mister." The blue haired boy replied while streching his hands wanting a handshake.

"I'm Aladdin, a traveller." The blue haired boy introduced himself with a smile.

"I'm John." John replied while smiling seeing the two who were the orginal protagonists of this world and this night will be the start of their journey.

"J-John, t-the current Lord of this city!?" The yellow haired boy couldn't help but asked while shouting upon hearing such as he knew that there is no other person around the city aside from the current Lord who responsible killing the past Lord and changed the city for the better in just a week.

"What is Alibaba? Do you know this mister?" Aladdin asked seeing Alibaba was so shocked after hearing the name of John.

"I-I'm A-Alibaba, Lord John." Alibaba introduced himself respectfully seeing John for the first time while getting nervous of why such a man wanted to enter the dungeon.

"Hahahaha..There's no need for honorifics, right now, we were just fellow adventurers wanting to explore this so called dungeons." John laughed seeing Alibaba suddenly became so stiff after knowing his identity.

"Eeehh, so you're the lord of this city. You're so amazing, Uncle John." Alladin said and exchanged the way he addressed John from mister to uncle after feeling amazed seeing the Lord of this city not expecting that he's such a person.

"A-Aladin, be more polite." Alibaba whispered seeing Aladdin acting so close with the Lord without respect.

"How about we head inside and clear this dungeon?" John suggested seeing that there's no end to this childish conversation.

"Alright, let's head. Uncle John, Alibaba." Aladin excitedly said while holding the flute on his neck before entering inside which after that John and Alibaba then followed behind.

In some place in the palace,

Pisti and Yamraiha could be seen staring at the Dungeon after John leave them to look at the palace and also being reminded what he said about the other Magi that would arrive tomorrow.

"Pisti, where is John?" A vouce suddenly sounded which Pisti and Morgiana immediately looked at their back before seeing Morgiana.

"John is on that dungeon, Morgiana." Pisti replied before heading to her.

"Do you want a spar again? Sadly, John won't be back for a while so how about a spar with me?" Pisti asked while looking at Morgiana's troubled expression.

"Y-You?" Morgiana confusingly asked upon hearing Pisti as she was quite sure that she doesn't know to fight and was just following John and Yamraiha around.

"Don't underestimate Pisti, Morgiana. She also trained that martial arts of yours for several years." Yamraiha said after remembering the time Pisti was forced by Queen Mira to train together with her sisters.

"I'm strong you know. Hehehe, praise me, Morgiana." Pisti sneered while posing like she's a special person while her nose were starting to get big as she looked at Morgiana.

Morgiana couldn't believe what she just heard from Yamraiha. She couldn't accept that the harmless Pisti she was talking to for a week actually trained the Martial Arts that John gave her for several years already.

"Sparring is off limits today. Come with me instead." Yamraiha said as she looked at how Morgiana dressed as a woman.

Pisti and Morgiana looked at Yamraiha thinking where they were going but they still followed her behind before heading somewhere in the palace.

___________________________

John's room,

After walking for a while, Yamraiha and Pisti could now be seen inside John's room while looking at Morgiana who was feeling awkward of being stared it.

"D-Do I need to wear this?" Morgiana asked with her red cheeks while feeling uncomfortable wearing such beautiful dress with some jewelries on her as this was her first time wearing such things in her life.

"Yes, a girl should maintain her womanly side not a woman who only think about fighting." Yamraiha replied seeing Morgiana was really cute setting aside her likeness towards fighting. She come to this idea as she wanted to train Morgiana to become a better woman just like how Queen Mira had told them back in Artemyra.

"W-Womanly?" Morgiana asked in confusion as she didn't need such thing as aside from fighting, there is nothing really special about her.

"Yes and also to prepare yourself on marriage." Yamraiha replied while smiling thinking how beautiful Morgiana would become when she grow up.

"M-Marriage?" Morgiana started to panicked hearing such words as she suddenly pictured out someone on her mind.

"Of course, do you think John would treat you like this if he wasn't interested in you. Of course, he wants you to be his wife." Yamraiha teased seeing Morgiana who will probably explode in any minute seeing her face was really red upon hearing her words.

"J-John...W-Wife." Morgiana couldn't properly process the words coming from Yamraiha as she was now overheating.

"Hahahaha." Pisti laughed before she head towards Morgiana helping her to calm down but she was also amused seeing her cute reactions.

Yamraiha just smiled realizing that she went overboard telling such things to an innocent little girl before looking at the tower outside hoping John would be alright out there.
