“I wonder what to do today?” Steel asked himself as he walked the streets of Londonium. Probably because he went out hunting mobs every day for 2 weeks straights, doing that for about 12 hours each day. It was no wonder the mental exhaustion was starting to catch up to him. And for that reason, Steel decided that a change of pace for a day or two was necessary. "Well, hopefully nothing will go wrong today." He whispered to himself. Right after he said that, he had bumped into someone. When he turned to see who it was, it was a girl and there was a guy that Steel found familiar was right next to her, presumably her date for the day. "You okay there?" He asked the girl he bumped into as he offered a hand to help her up. As that happened, romantic sparkles came from and put the girl in a slight love sick like trance. This did not go unnoticed by the guy who was her boyfriend and that guy became irritated at Steel. Wait a minute… He began to think in a slight panic.
"What do you think you're doing, hitting on my girl?" The guy said as he got a hold of Steel's collar. It seemed he didn't know about the Courtesan ability or it's just that he was pissed that his date became like that. Not that his rage was completely unreasonable. The guy looked a bit more closely at Steel. "Oh heck no! It’s you again you *******!!" He exclaimed even more angrily. It was indeed the guy Steel first pissed off back in Stratford and then again later at a different town during the Coconia festival. Oh come on!! Steel exclaimed in his mind. At this, Steel started to sigh for two reasons. First, he didn't want to get into a conflict and second, he knew this wasn't going to get any better from here. He hurriedly turned the skill off, snapping the girl out of her little trance. I hate how this skill acts like a running gag!! Steel exclaimed in his mind before using martial arts to escape his captor's grip and jumped back.
"Sorry about that again!" Steel exclaimed before running off. He hoped that he wouldn't be chased by that guy although he probably would like he did the last two times. This day was already off to a bad start and the Half Alv Swashbuckler hoped that this day wouldn't get any worse. Oh who was he kidding? Steel already knew what was going to happen next.
A few minutes later...
Just as I expected. Steel thought to himself as he continued to run. For some reason, that subclass skill kept turning on to the point that Steel just gave up on turning it off each time. Unfortunately, because of this skill, Steel ran across several similar situations where he accidentally caused a girl to fall into a trance in front of her date and/or boyfriend, causing the said date to chase after him in anger. On a side note, the girls affected went back to normal once Steel was over 10 meters away. As he escaped his latest foe, Steel was just getting tired of it. "At this rate, I'll be the enemy to all men and I won't be able to catch a break." Steel said as he panted a little. Although he was more physically fit than most people, he's had to run a lot today so being tired was expected. But mainly, he was mentally tired from all of this. He was partially amazed that nobody has caught him yet. He knew that he had to lie low for at least a while. But how would he do that when he stuck out like a sore thumb being one of the people who didn't have a date and his Courtesan skill wasn't helping either. For once, he couldn't have a low presence, something he took for granted in the past.
After a while, he had found that he had gotten away from his pursuers. Well, at least for now but that would do as a moment of respite for the Swashbuckler. While he was looking around for any remaining pursuers, he wasn’t looking where he wasn’t going and he accidentally bumped into someone. When Steel looked down in front of him, he saw that he had knocked down a girl around his age wearing a black mini dress and a witch hat and she had light pink hair. “Sorry about that, you okay?” He asked in an apologetic tone in his voice as he extended his hand out to her to help her up. It was then he noticed that his Courtesan skill was still on. He hurriedly turned it off as he didn’t want to talk to a girl while she was in a trance. Although I think it’s too late already.
