Chapter 19 - Funky 2.0.

"YOU BITC-!"

"You snooze; you lose! Plus, he can just make more for you, right?"

What's with him and stealing other's food?

Away from view, pocketed, the ornate symbol on Park's hand, cracked a faint blue glow, the new candy assortments taking over the wasted remains of Lily's last meal. Blackhand's tiny servants immediately flocked the area where Park's hand was. The ornate symbol went back into hiding.

"Let's see it,"

Park, feigning confusion, revealed that he wasn't hiding anything...

"... Wow, I feel really good, what was that?"

"Cat food?" Gionne quipped.

"You think I don't know that? I'm not blind you see,"

"Or maybe it's because you're sleeping on my bed that you're- Oh! No wait! Maybe you're turning into a cat!"

"..."

"... I like her! She's feisty! I'll get you another one just like her after...,"

Lily's motor was revving, reading her body for any breakneck action that was about...

"... I'M DONE WITH HER!"

... to happen.

The little stars seared through the air at high speeds, Blackhand genuinely amused with the sudden increase in speed that his assailants had amassed, but he wasn't the only one experiencing this sudden bounty. Gionne could feel it too, something had happened to Lily. That strange sensation they both assumed when Lily got her first mouthful wasn't all there was to it. They had some questions for this dear friend of theirs and they hoped to get some answers, and it all had to start with that strange bowl he was pushing for.

Anyway, the rot stars maybe having a fill lesser than Lily, were a tad bit slower than her, the two pursuers nimbly wafted through every nook and cranny, beautifully avoiding any objects in their path, be it, people trying to dodge them or bed stands or people trying to reach out for them...

"Hey!"

"Damnit!"

... like poor ol' Blackhand. One more lap on a random new path around the room and Blackhand had his fill of loss, beckoning his dear battle-worn soldiers back to him. 

And as they came to him, an idea popped up, as natural as it can be. Amused he said,

"You have to share this with your friends! Just wait right here, I'll be back! And don't try to run away, that's bad manners!"

He dashed out of their room, slamming the door behind them.

... Gold...

... Just gold.

"..."

"... Okay, who wants to go first?"

"As you can see this type of curse causes immense pleasure to someone."

"But its short term."

"So, can it work on anyone?"

"Whoever you wish."

Park smiled.

"Say how about everyone have a go at it?"

"But where would we get the volunteer?"

The students averted their eyes from Greydale.

As much as they wanted to join in on the fun, no one dared to speak up.

"Don't worry I have enough for everyone."

"Everyone can practice as muuuuccchhhh as they like."

Park produced a clump of hair from his pockets.

"..."

"So, you just want to tell me you had clumps of hair in your pockets."

Park was focused on the figure.

"So could everyone enjoy... I mean practice on it?"

The students looked at Greydale pleadingly.

"Well, this is the first time I've seen..."

"Mr. Greydale everybody."

Everyone clapped for him. They all went to the front to have their own go at it with the mysterious piece of hair.

"Just make sure that you're done by the end of the..."

The students got to work nailing the straw figure.

"They can't even hear me."

Every time when you think that the clumps would be over.

Park produced a fresh bunch.

Who did the hair belong to?

"Wait can we hit it there?"

"What's the worst that could happen?"

"And here too?"

"Enjoy yourself Gentlemen."

Park was smiling at them.

"I should have known from those glasses he wore."

Greydale was mumbling seated in a bench at the back.

Two hours fleeted away.

-ring

"And that's the bell."

"Have you all had your fill?"

"And you?"

Greydale was eyeing Park.

"Out of hair now?"

"Or you still got more."

Park smiled at the figure.

"That much should suffice."

He pocketed the remaining bits of hair still poking out.

"..."

"Of course, you had more."

Greydale was packing up the materials that he had brought.

"That was it for our lesson today."

"See you..."

Greydale looked at the benches, Park waved at him, and to the swinging window.

"WOOHOO LUNCHTIME!!!"

"..."

He sighed.

"Inner peace."

He picked up his box and walked out of the room chanting the phrase over and over.

Park followed after.

"Repaying rudeness with extra kindness."

"I hope she liked it."

Sometime later after Park stomached the gruel.

...

-whoosh

He was lying on the grass. The breeze was a gentle calm today.

He sighed.

"Another injury."

"..."

"Those damned "bricks". "

"Are they building us or feeding us?"

"Hah."

"..."

"Did you hear what happened to Yiggrath?"

"I hear his back was blown...I mean bled bled BLED out."

"WAIT WHERE ARE YOU GOING??!!"

"You're doing it again."

"WAIT!!"

"CAN I KNOW MY OFFENSE??"

"Last time it was "That time of the month"."

"..."

"They almost killed us."

"ALMOST! ALMOOOSSTTT!"

"WAIT! STOOPPP! I'M SORRYYYY!!!"

"I was going to go to the library..."

"And you will Mr. Park."

A robed figure picked him up. He placed Park on his shoulder. The other black robed figures followed after.

"You know this reminds of a video I once..."

"Go fill some books in that head before it rots away Grant."

"..."

"What video Grant?"

*sob*

"What video?"

*sob*

...

...

"We're here."

They placed Park on his feet.

"Why were you shaking earlier?"

"It's nothing."

Park sighed.

He opened the door.

"USELESS!!!"

A book landed square on Park's face.

"Owww..."

"Oh, hey Park you're here."

"What's up?"

"They're all blank!"

"Thats what's up!"

"Even that book that you are currently holding."

Gerena came to show Park what he was talking about.

"See..."

Gerena pointed at a page.

But the words were there.

"If you wish to pleasure..."

Gerena quickly threw the book away.

"Heh. Wrong book."

Lemme show you another.

The words revealed themselves.

"Orc Mating Rituals..."

"That too."

Gerena tossed it back into the heap.

"What is going on?"

What's going on is you into some stuff.

...

Gerena felt guilty.

"You know they're just books."

"Hidden in the history section?"

"And since I can't leave the library..."

"...anyway, what's going on?"

Every time Park opened a book, the missing contents were now there.

"I think we'll have to spread your magic hands all over."

"You just saying all the wrong things today."

Park got to work.

Every time he opened a book, the writings would come back.

An hour later.

There were restored books all over.

{The Forgotten tome has been exhausted]

"Glad it's done."

"You saved my skin young man."

"And there's even new knowledge. It seems you have improved what was there before."

{The thirst remains endless]

{The forgotten tome demands more]

{A new quest has been issued]

{Read all of the books in the library]

{Time Limit: 13 days]

{Rewards: Further development of the Third sector]

"It seems we'll be bunkmates."

Park mumbled to himself.

He was looking at Gerena. He didn't suffer any deformities like the rest of his minions.

"I'll be going now."

Park locked the doors behind him.

"Looks like the worm didn't hurt him."

He heard a rustling in the bushes.

"Is that what they call it these days?"

"A "worm?". "

"kekekeke..."

Park drooped his head. 

He got it so fast.

"Guess Funky eyes' Packing."

"And I think that's my cue to leave."

"Shit! he heard us."

-rustle

-rustle

"..."

The voices were gone.

Park silently walked back to his dorm.

Day passed and night fell.

...

...

Footsteps.

"Where was it?"

"..."

"Aha! Here you are!"

"How to lick..."

And they lived happily ever after.

The end.
