Good job to momary12345 . You guessed right.
======================================================
Back to the castle, we were congratulate by the elders and sent back to our room. I took a shower and was ready to sleep until.
James : " ..that's what happens."
Jim : "Nice story bro, but mine is better. Let me tell you."
They he go again. Going to my bed , I slip in and tried to sleep. But the three dude are too loud.
Mark : "I'M TRYING TO SLEEP NOW , SO IF YOU DON'T MIND, SHUT THE HELL UP !"
Jim : " Somebody seem to be mad,boys let's go to sleep I will tell you the rest tomorrow."
After cursing Jim in low tone voice so he can't hear me , I derived into my deep slumb.
Waking up at the morning, I was thinking about what to do today. The elders gave us a rest day for our effort at the dungeons. I'm planning to visit the city a little bit, maybe going to a armory to buy a new set of clothe and armor. I got a robe and it doesn't give me any protection or suit my fighting style.
Getting off bed without making any sound, I do not want the others the follow or bothers in any ways. I did my morning need in the staff washroom that a guards kindly showed me.
So I went out of the castle and borrowed a map so I don't get lost in this big city, Of course not as big as the biggest city in USA.
I was going to the shopping district before I got interrupted by somebody calling me.
Somebody : " Hey Mark!"
Turning my head I saw the brunette, she was in ponytail wearing a white shirt with a brown leather jacket on top of it and leather pants and boots.

How did she know my name ? Oh must be Jim talking too loud. I need to play it cool , must be calm, no need to be afraid.
Mark : " Hey, hum, I didn't get your name. It's ?"
Brunette :"Oh, It's Alexandra Daddario. Nice to meet you , I wanted to thank you again for saving me the other day."
Mark :" I'm Mark Sigfrid, and you're welcome . I'm sure that you will do the same thing if you were in my place."
She smiled . Hope she doesn't really do the same thing .
Alexandra : "So what are you doing here ?"
Mark : " Oh, just visiting the city."
Alexandra : "Your first time coming out of the castle ?"
Mark :"Yep."
Alexandra :"Wow, let me be your guide, I'm already familiar with the city since I got out a lot."
It's what we call a date ? Shit, I must stop thinking about non sense thing.
Mark :" I will gladly take upon your offer, if you're not too busy. Alexandra"
Alexandra :"You can call me Alex , now let's go this way."
Going to the shopping district, I purchased some clothe for me. On our way to find a restaurant, we were talking about our life at earth.
Alexandra : " So what did you do back at earth ?"
Mark : "Nothing worth mentioning." It was true .
She frowned a bit before going back to the smiling face.
Alexandra : " So you never watched Percy Jackson? or true detective ?"
Mark :"Nope, I did see the first episode of true detective but it bored the hell out of me."
I watched the whole season one but It will be somewhat embarrassing if I still didn't recognize her .
*Flash in my head* OH, I remember her now! She was in on episode two. It's even more embarrassing now that I remember.

Covering my face with both hands. I'm feeling shame right now.
Alexandra :" Are you ok Mark ?"
Mark :" I'm fine, Just tired."
Alexandra :"Let's eat there , they cook my favorite food , ramen. Just like in earth."
Dragging me into the restaurant , we took place and were ready to commend our ramen.
Alexandra:" Let me choose for you , I'm a expert." Saying with a serious face.
Mark : " Okay, ramen expert."
I do like ramen too , so I'm not going to complain when a `expert` is trying to give me the best.
So we talk about a bit everything, from video games to weather.
So when the ramen came we started to eat.
Alexandra :" It's SO good!" Making a ecstatic face.
I just nodded, the ramen is full of fat and salt but I like it.
Then a guy approached us , an elf, pretty boy. I can smell the arrogant type of guy we can see in every novel.
Arrogant guy : "Good afternoon, I'm Artul Sercior, I can't help myself to tell you that you're truly beautiful my lady."
Alexandra :"Thank you." She's clearly embarrassed by him.
Arrogant guy : "If I can say, I will keep you better company then this man." Giving me a degusted look.
There we go, this guy must be in need to prove himself, spitting so much alpha dog shit. At least he's polite.
Alexandra :" No you can't, so will you please let us enjoy our meal alone ?"
Arrogant guy :" Allow me to insist, I'm sure that I'm will be a better man."
I guess now it's the moment when I kick his ass.
Alexandra :" I say NO!" In a angry tone.
The elf moved his hand trying to grab Alex, I was going to punch him but before I could do it, Alex twisted his arm then punched strongly in direction of his crotch.
Crying from pain , he felled on the floor. He tried to hold his crotch but it was too late, Alex already stood up and in a jumping motion she crushed in the same place again. I swear I could hear some nuts cracking sound.
Every men present in restaurant are holding their crotch, me included. I could feel his pain, when she did that I could feel a chilling breath touching my skin.
Alexandra :" Let's go! This guy put me on a bad mood." She's piss, no kidding.
Going to the counter she paid and motioned toward me to make me know that we're leaving.
Passing by the elf, I gave him a quick prayer.
Mark : " Rest in peace for the children that you will never have."
Leaving the restaurant, we moved back toward the castle Alex was sulking until we reached the dorm.
Alexandra :"Sorry about what happen, I just hate these man, thinking that they could anything."
Mark :" It's okay, I was done eating anyways. Oh, remember me to never piss you off if I want to keep my balls."
She laughed .
Alexandra :" You must be tired, I will let you rest. Good bye."
She was biting her lower lips, is this a sign ? I must be over thinking.
Going back to back , and prepared myself to sleep. Thinking about what happen today, well it was a good day.
