Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 977 979: Bickering

"Of course." Amelia grinned. "I'm now the best in our small group~."

Riya nodded with a bright smile.

To think that Amelia used to be bickering with Sean because she was so lazy to train and now she had become the best.

Well, Arnold was actually not far behind Amelia.

If the two of them fought seriously, it was actually hard to determine who will win or lose between the two of them. This was something Riya could sense very clearly.

The problem is...

Will they fight seriously?

Riya had the feeling that Arnold will hold back appropriately when facing Amelia, which is why she could say confidently that she's the best in their small group.

Eh, as long as they're happy.

The title of the best in their small group was nothing more than a joke between friends and they would not care whoever held this title.

"Yes, you're amazing." Riya chuckled and rubbed Amelia's head.

"Hey! Let me hug you instead!"

"Stop it, Mel!"

Seeing the two girls fighting and joking like that, the three men were speechless and then moved their eyes away. It was just that both Arnold and Samuel has envy in their eyes.

They also wanted to cuddle their beloved.

Samuel shifted his eyes to his younger brother. "I don't think this is the time for you to finish your training, Sean."

Sean froze.

Even though he had thought about running away, his thoughts were interrupted when he saw Amelia and Riya were playing around with each other. Sometimes, he wondered why these girls' relationship could be so close like this.

But hearing his brother's words, he let out a dry laugh.

"It's done, Brother..."

"Really?" Samuel sneered.

He had seen how lazy Sean is and it seemed that this brat had gotten even lazier when he was not around. The competitiveness he used to have with Amelia had long disappeared ever since Amelia's talent blossomed and she trained hard to become strong.

On the other hand, Sean seemed to be having a hard time.

...More like, he was not even motivated.

The Jones Family could still protect him, but it would be better for him to have the strength to protect himself to a certain degree.

Forget it.

It would be better for him to arrange for more people to protect his younger brother.

"It's really done!" Sean nodded repeatedly.

To be exact, he was begging his instructor to reduce the workload today. Since it was almost new year, the soldiers were also busy, so the instructor allowed him to go back.

Sean was extremely delighted.

He immediately made his way back home and vowed not to go back anytime soon.

It was so tiring to be forced to train all day long.

And his instructor would not show mercy because this was what his brother told them to do.

Sean wanted to cry.

His brother is really cruel.

"Go wash up." Samuel rolled his eyes and chose to let his brother be for the time being. He could see that Sean should have persuaded his instructor to let him go back and stopped training.

Otherwise, Sean will definitely stay in the training ground until late at night.

This brat was getting more and more lazier.

"Yes, Brother!"

Sean ran at the fastest speed of his life, going back to his room without hesitation.

The others watched his performance and silently looked at Samuel.

"You're really kind to your younger brother," Arnold commented. "If he continued to slack off like this, he will be left behind by the others."

"I think that he had no intention of keeping up." Samuel shook his head.

Sean's talent was definitely not that bad and was actually quite good. Coupled with the resources given to him, he would be able to reach relatively higher height and obtained some achievements.

Unfortunately, Sean was too lazy.

He didn't plan to practice all the time like the others and often slacked off.

This resulted in him basically being the weakest in their small group.

"You're going to let him be from now?" Arnold's expression was a bit strange. He thought that his friend would never let the Jones Family to have such a weakness.

"I'll arrange for some bodyguards for him.... After the grand magic beasts' tide," Samuel added the last one after thinking for a bit.

Because he felt that even if he made arrangement before the grand magic beasts' tide, it would not be of much use. Everyone would be busy fighting and they have no time to care about these things.

Arnold heard Samuel's words and nodded in understanding.

It seemed that it was not that easy for Samuel.

"Now..." Samuel looked at the two girls who were siting on the sofa and sighed as he moved closer.

Sometimes, he felt that Riya cared for his sister more than him.

Tsk.

He would not admit that he's jealous.

Arnold saw Samuel's expression and chuckled lightly.

Having Amelia accompanying him most of the time in the past year, Arnold was not that unwilling to see Amelia being so close with others. After all, he felt that she should be having enough fun with her friends too.

There was no way she would do everything with him.

But thinking about Samuel's words that they were all separated when they stayed in that world...

He felt that Samuel was a bit pitiful.

Tsk, tsk, he didn't have much time to spend with Riya because they were too busy with other things.

"Arnold, I think you're asking for a beating right now." Samuel noticed Arnold's eyes and his eyes narrowed.

He felt that his friends were often very unreliable and seeing his gaze, how could he not understand?

"Ah, what are you talking about?" Arnold looked away, pretending that he did nothing.

He didn't want to offend Samuel right now because he was absolutely sure that he would end up being beaten up.

"Heh." Samuel sneered. "Training ground, now."

Arnold's expression froze and then he sighed with resignation.

Even laughing at others had price to pay....
