"Wow, you've really been improving," said Egris to Arthur after a whole week of just training. Since Arthur had nothing to do other than to go to school, he was able to attend school which was just him training even during the weekends. Although the teachers didn't like this, they still allowed him to learn as they were getting paid an insane amount of money to teach him and for only one hour a day. It was just having to endure that single hour of torture and surprises then they would be able to enjoy the rest of their day. After just a week though, Arthur was seeing an insane amount of improvement as he had managed to reach a point where he could dodge 75% of the combined attacks of both Willam as well as Egris although Egris was most likely making himself weaker to match the punching speed of Willam so that he wouldn't be a problem for him.
"Well, I guess it's time for me to leave," said Arthur as he began to walk by himself as he headed for his home which was filled with so much luxury that he didn't have to worry about a single thing. Although it was a school to train future soldiers. The school was located on a peaceful place in the country of Juno. It wasn't located in anywhere special. Just an average city. However the school owned a great sector of the area so no one that didn't attend the school of worked for or with the school could be seen there. As such, it was rather quiet most of the day since the students were at school for many hours of the day and they would go home or study for more hours before going to sleep. As such, the only time that they would have to rest were on weekends.
…
"Home sweet home," said Arthur as he walked inside his luxury apartment before locking the door and jumping in his bed to rest. Due to his adaptability, Arthur didn't need to worry about studying since by the end of every lesson, he would have reached his peak adapting state where he would have learned everything to a perfect degree. Moreover, due to this ability which was provided for him through Lucifer being a part of his body, Arthur was adapting to the overall harsh days. In the beginning, Arthur would come home exhausted however now, he barely felt tired and instead he felt great about having finished off the day with having learned and trained so much.
"I'm bored, I want to do something," said Arthur as he got a rather sinister thought. Instantly he went up to the phone inside his apartment which was attached to the wall and was controlled by magic, he pressed the number 1 on his phone which was the number he needed to tap to call upon Egris. It was placed there specially for him if there was an emergency since Arthur was seen to be so valuable so he was allowed to call upon the general at any hour.
"What's wrong Arthur? Did something happen?" Egris asked to which Arthur said that nothing was wrong however he needed to ask Egris something and as such in just a couple seconds, Egris was at Arthur's door.
"What is it that you need?" Egris asked to which Arthur looked around for a second as if he was going to say a big secret like he killed someone.
"I want to explore outside for a bit," Arthur said which instantly made Egris' worries go away as he had thought that he needed to cover for a crime that Arthur committed.
"Huh? Why though?" Egris asked to which Arthur looked embarrassed to answer.
"Well, I never actually got the chance to ever explore the different parts of a city. The most I've been able to do was go to a market for weapons and artifacts. Most of my life I went to a boarding school since my parents were dead. I guess I never really thought about it since it wasn't a part of my life but I've always wanted to go somewhere," said Arthur to which Egris began to think of the many great monuments and the wonders of the world that every tourist would have liked to go to.
"I want to go to a convenience store," said Arthur with an excited face.
"Huh? Is that really all you want to see?" Egris asked.
"Of course! It's such a wonderful place. According to the books I've read, it's a place where you can get anything you need. Just as the name implies, it's a place you go to for your convenience so that you don't have to travel to far away stores to get just one single thing you need. But more than anything, I've always wanted to try something. An ice-cream popsicle!" Arthur announced with joy in his eyes and for a moment, Egris thought that he was speaking to a child from a 3rd world country in war that never had the opportunity to see the things which were common to the people of Juno. Even so, Egris kept himself together and nodded.
"Have this," said Egris before handing Arthur a pouch of gold.
"This should be plenty to buy you as much ice cream as you want," said Egris before leaving the place.
"No way! I'm so close to finding the place I've dreamt about going to for so many years! Wait… I still don't know where it is. Even so, it would be rude of me to call on him again. I guess I could have some fun exploring this city as well. Well, I guess there's no harm in having a bit of fun," said Arthur as he locked his door then went on to his balcony before leaping off of it and landing on top of a nearby building.
Arthur leapt from building to building until he grew tired of running so much and simply decided to leap off the building he was on and simply walk. After what seemed like ages, Arthur finally found the place he had been looking for. A place called "Juno's Convenience". Although the events that would transpire on that night should have been normal, there were many surprises awaiting Arthur.
