Chapter 64 - First Mission

Nero returned to his room, feeling the weight of the day lift off his shoulders as he sank into a long and refreshing bath. The warmth enveloped him, soothing his muscles and washing away the remnants of the day's exertions. Earlier, that drunkard Adam had suggested the group stop by a pub to celebrate their achievements, but the other three had rejected the idea outright. It wasn't that they didn't want to acknowledge Nero's accomplishment; rather, the timing was simply off. With class and their first mission looming tomorrow, they needed to be at the top of their game. Indulging in a night of revelry would only be counterproductive, and so the celebration was postponed for a later date—a suggestion Adam begrudgingly accepted.
