Capítulo 37: Time
(A/N: maybe I should go back to writing fanfics.... lmao. Nah. FULL POWER!)
Imagine a calm sea with a lone boat floating gently on its almost mirror like surface. Now imagine a boy with black hair wearing a expressionless mask and a beautiful girl with black hair side by side smiling at each other with warm and elegant expressions. Each exchange they had with each other would be smooth and natural, almost romantic.
That was exactly the current situation.
"Miss Sarah, you take this part of the net and drop it over the edge."
"Oh? Is that so sir Phantom? Can you please explain why this is necessary?"
"You see miss Sarah, this part of the net serves as an anchor. It will drag the net all the way to the bottom so that no fish will be able to escape."
"But wouldn't the net also sink to the bottom of the see floor? I'm pretty sure that monster spider silk doesn't float."
"If you see here miss Sarah, there is a big ball filled with compressed gas."
"Compressed gas? What kind?"
"I am not sure but all I know is that it is highly flammable and is even lighter than air."
"How can it be lighter than air? Shouldn't the net be flying into the sky then?"
"The container holding the compressed gas is too heavy to fly in the air. However, it has enough buoyancy force to hold this net to the surface while the net is in the water. If you try holding the container, you will be able to notice that it is way lighter than it looks."
"Wow! Amazing! This container looks heavy but is almost as light as a pillow!"
"Ahaha, isn't it cool, miss Sarah?"
"It's very cool sir Phantom."
Ok, I'll be honest with you. The current situation wasn't exactly like that.
"This is cool and all but sir Phantom."
"Yes? What is it?"
"Shouldn't we be helping them?"
Sarah pointed her finger at a few things far in the distance while Will glanced in the direction Sarah had pointed for a brief moment before turning his gaze back towards Sarah. "Don't worry Miss Sarah, they will be fine."
"Are you sure sir Phantom? They seem to be screaming for help."
"They are knights. They have enough strength to take care of themselves. Besides, they did say that they preferred quality over quantity."
"HOLY GODDESS WTF IS THIS SHI-"
Will frowned before yelling to the screaming knights, "can you please keep down the profanities please? You can never know when the webnovel moderators are lurking. I really don't want to label this novel as a parents strongly advised novel-"
"MY HAND! MY HAND IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF! HELP ME PLEASE OH MERCIFUL GODDESS-"
"I guess there goes that. Sorry Criss Cross. I tried."
(A/N: F off Will. Stop breaking the fourth wall.)
"You are you talking to sir Phantom?"
"I have no idea," said will as he steered his boat a couple hundred meters away before throwing in another net anchor into the sea. "Anyways, don't worry about the knights. They should be fine. How strong did you say they were again?"
"The knight captain is B rank while the other two are C ranks."
"They should be fine as long as their boats float above the water-"
"MOTHER OF- MY BOAT IS CAPSIZING!"
"They should be fine as long as they don't fall into the water-"
"CAPTAIN! JEREMY WAS DRAGGED INTO THE SEA!"
"...."
"Sir Phantom?"
Will averted his eyes at Sarah's questioning look before saying, "they should be fine as long as they don't die..."
"..."
"H- H- HELP ME!!! I AM GOING T- TO DROWN- VWEPFBEOANEODHWAOEMEO-"
Will finally let out a sigh as he finally acknowledged that the three knights were not doing so well. He watched as two little emergency boats sped across the ocean surface at high speeds while the third one was nowhere to be seen. There was, however, a man in shining armor frantically waving his arms around in the middle of the sea.
"Why did he not take off his armor?" Frowned Will as he glared at the drowning knight. "It's no surprise he can barely swim with that heavy armor on. It's a surprise that he wasn't dead by now. Rina, go save him please."
"Okaay~"
Will observed as Rina effortlessly waved her hands and summoned a torrent of water to move and lift the knight out of the sea and onto the ship.
Watching the pitiful knight doing his best to cough the water out of his lungs, Will clicked his tongue before saying, "what a disappointing performance from a knight."
"I- I am sorry... I sunk one of your emergency vessels.
Will rolled his eyes. "It doesn't matter. I have one more. Take off your armor and use that boat to go fishing again."
"T- take off my armor?"
"Yes you idiot. Or do you want to almost drown again like just now?"
"Y- yes sir! I will remove my armor!"
"Good," said Will with a disapproving look. "Now hurry up and go. Take another piece of the fish and resume fishing at once."
"Can't I have a bit of the sea grass as well? I want to hunt for the harmless B rank monster just like the captain."
Will rolled his eyes. "You can't even handle a C ranked sea monster that's on your line but you want to try and catch a B ranked monster? Stop being delusional."
"B-but you said it was generally harmless."
"It still has the capabilities of a b ranked sea monster. Now shoo."
As the knight scrambled to prepare another boat to set off in the sea again, Sarah let out a sigh. "Why are you so hard on them Sir Phantom? Do you not like their personalities? I'm sorry about their rude behavior from behavior but don't you think this is going a bit overboard?"
"I bet these knights are fresh out of the academy right? I don't like that they are so arrogant when they can't even do something so simple."
Will narrowed his eyes, "although, I'll admit that your knight captain is doing a lot better than I expected."
Sarah gave Will a wry smile before muttering, "I must've imagined things. This can't be him. There is no way he would be so rowdy."
