Chapter 590: A Surprising Improvement! Part VII

“W...What about you?” Maysa asked.

“Me? I’m just living my life as a mad scientist.”

“Are you married?” Waree asked.

“Heh! That’s the point.” Sander smiled. “Because of Baron, I don’t want to get married. We’ve been together for so long that I started to be afraid of women. I don’t know why, but I think women are scary. Even science can’t prove them wrong.”

The girls suddenly laughed.

“Personally, I think you’re the scariest one here.”

Sander laughed. “What? I’m cute and cuddly.”

They laughed all together. Sander seemed to take a liking to these girls. Then, Waree looked at him.

“If you’re in the same generation as Viola, that means you know Winter and Natalia?”

The man stopped laughing. He looked at Waree and smiled lovingly.

“Of course.” He said. “At the time, everyone knew the siblings. If you talk about Viola’s arch enemy, it’s always been Winter. He’s the only man who can fight her equally.”

Sander drank his liquor again. He looked up and continued the story with a happy voice.

“We call him ‘Winter the Warrior’. He’s the second man who reached the masterclass after Viola did. He built his own name with so many legends. Some say Viola is better and some say otherwise. For me, they’re equal. If you want aggressiveness and recklessness, it’s Viola. But if you want mischief and strategy, it’s Winter. No matter what, they’re still even.”

“What about Natalia?” Waree asked. She seemed interested.

“Natalia is Winter’s little sister. She’s his right-hand man who has always supported him. Even though she isn’t as good as her brother in the fight, she’s a genius. I think Natalia seems to have more leadership traits than Winter. Winter only wants to do what he wants to do. That’s why everything in the Bunny Burner falls on Natalia. I heard that people are saying that Winter is very possessive of his sister. No one can get close to her.”

Waree laughed at that and looked at Sander. Maysa only raised her eyebrow.

“Why did you ask about them?” Maysa asked.

Waree giggled and turned to her friend.

“I’m sorry I’ve never told you this, but that Winter is my biological uncle.”

“WHAT!?!! Your uncle?!”

Maysa screamed. Waree quickly covered her mouth with her hands before she woke everyone up!

“I know it’s surprising, but you didn’t have to shout,” Waree said.

“How could I not? Winter is Pride’s legend!” Then, Maysa halted. “Wait, if he’s your uncle, then Natalia, his sister, was...”

“My mom.”

“Mom...!”

She did not have a chance to finish when her friend foresaw it and covered her mouth once again. Sander laughed.

“Y... Your real mom?” Maysa took her hands off her mouth.

“Yes. Her real name’s Nittaya.” Waree said. “I’ve asked her so many times about the game and she never told me anything. As you all know, Natalia is overshadowed by my uncle, Winter. That’s why I rarely know anything about her.”

Maysa blinked. She did not expect this. No... It was almost impossible. She glared at Sander.

“Don’t tell me you know about all this?” Maysa asked.

“Hey, hey, I don’t.” Sander raised his hands up. “I just thought that there was a possibility. Natalia was very beautiful back then. She possessed this long light-brown locks and bright green eyes. I can see the resemblance in Waree.”

“What... Is this for real?”

Maysa did not want to believe it. She glanced at her smiling friend and got even more confused.

“If so, why didn’t you attend the Bunny Burner? If you’re there, there’s a high chance that you’d be the next head of the guild, right? You’re good.”

Waree smiled happily and dropped onto her friend’s lap. Maysa blinked at her.

“Nope.” Waree giggled. “I’d be very lonely there. I love the Nemesis. It’s fun. Even though people here are a little wrong in the head, they can always make me laugh. And I want to do things by myself. I don’t want everyone to think that I got into the guild because of my mom. Building up the guild and reputation with everyone makes me happy. It’s my family here.”

Maysa went quiet for a while. Then, they looked each other in the eye and smiled.

“Why suddenly such a touching speech.” She pinched her friend’s cheek.

“I thought you were going to cry. You’re so hard to please.” Waree giggled.

As for Sander, he laughed at the girls who did not seem to care anymore if they would wake anyone up. Without saying anything, Sander actually saw another thing that resembled the legendary siblings and Waree.

It was the image of siblings helping each other build the Bunny Burner guild until it became so well-known.

It was as if everything was published from the same publisher.

The older brother was the chief...

The little sister was the deputy chief...

It sounded familiar like some guild around here. The old man drank his liquor again and laughed happily as if he had recalled his delightful memories in the past.

The third day was here so fast like a rocket. The morning started on the thirtieth floor of the dungeon. The boys in Baron’s training group had been dealing with much harder fights. There were only monsters with level 150 and more here. There was no need to mention the size, but everything, including the speed, the power, and the strength, was clearly better than the boys.

However, what everyone was seeing right now was shocking.

Stella opened her eyes widely and covered her mouth with her hands in surprise.

As for Mona Lisa and Sarquros, who just reunited with the group at three in the morning, they beamed so cheerfully.

The last one, Baron. She crossed her arms and smirked. She let out a sigh of relief.

They were watching the two boys running straight towards more than twenty gigantic monsters in front of them like they were nothing. There were fully equipped monsters with swords, spears, and sharp claws that were so ready to slice them to pieces.

However, those weapons did not concern the boys. No matter how good, how fast, or how sharp they were, they could not even touch the boys’ fingertips. The more they tried to get closer to the boys, the more they got killed.

Another thing that they had improved so much was collaboration. Even though Wisana did not have the Element to call out his weapons, his fast movements and his ability to pierce through the enemy’s shield were good enough to get rid of everything in front of him. As for Shin, the more he fought, the more his spear became invincible. He could barely be affected by any curse anymore. Both of them seemed to be better at keeping track of each other’s movements and making them their own.

Both Wisana, whose movements were sharper and not recklessness anymore, and Shin, who spent less time waiting for the openings with more accurate attacks, learned to study, adapt, and adjust their mindset. They had now become balanced.

“...So great,” Stella muttered. “They only had several hours of sleep. I can’t believe they can make it this far. I had to do so much yesterday, but since this morning, I haven’t healed anyone. How far can they go?”

Hearing that, Baron laughed.

“Of course.” She smiled. “Even monkeys can learn. They shouldn’t be worse than monkeys, right?”

The nurse smiled awkwardly back. Could she just compliment them normally?

“And my training always works. It’s Baron you’re talking about here.”

Then, Baron stroked her lips as if she was deep in thought.

“This should be enough for a warm-up.” She grinned. “Let’s move on to the real deal. Now, this is going to be hell.”
