Chapter 488 - 481. Second Expedition
"Aaah--this is it, this is it!" Zhan jumped on his feet as if doing some warm-up.
Perhaps he was. After all, they were about to embark on another journey; another expedition. After two months of doing nothing but building things and cleaning up the surroundings, the spearman had started to become restless. He did not become an esper to do some construction, and culling leftover beasts wasn’t very stimulating.
He was so close to asking the commander to just send him on a tracking mission like that Senia girl’s team, but then an order to move out was given.
What a good day.
But his excited head was immediately being smacked by his coworkers.
"I’m going to sew your mouth shut if you say anything unnecessary later," Naoya, the usually calm archer, said coldly. During this operation, he had been used the most to take care of the hundreds and thousands of beasts all at once--at this point, it almost felt like an abuse.
"I never knew your jinx was that strong," Gus cackled despite also hitting the spearman.
"Hey, I didn’t know too!" Zhan laughed, moving his formerly severed arm around. It was quite funny for him, and despite causing distress to others, he liked it that his ’wish’ almost always came true. "Hey, hey--what if I say things like ’we’ll going to find the shard right away’--do you think it’ll happen?"
"That’s not how jinx works," Gus shrugged. "Besides, you’re only saying that because you think there will be Specters or that hooded creature commander faced before near the shard, don’t you?"
Zhan grinned and this time, Naoya smacked the swordsman’s head. "I told you not to say anything unnecessary."
"Eeey~ what’s unnecessary about it? We already know there’s always a Specter near a shard," Gus rubbed the back of his head--it kind of becoming their squad’s thing at this point. "Besides, we’ll be the one to face a boss anyway."
