Al's eyes were piercing. He was evaluating Sophia.
'She's not kidding, right?' The boy muttered to himself.
He has always aspired to become one of the top players.
'Gerd,' he's familiar with this in-game name. The Cold-Hearted Queen, she's right here with him!
"Hmmm. Let's do some security checks first." Al's right hand was caressing his chin as if he's thinking deep.
"What's the name of your guild?" He asked.
"I don't have a guild," Sophia answered with no pretense.
"Eeenggk! You're lying! Gerd is a member of the guild, Frozen Occident." Al disapproved as he crossed his arms, gesturing an 'X.'
"I mean, I'm not a member, anymore..." Sophia giggled.
"WHAT! Why did you leave Frozen Occident? That's the 'Six Purgatories,' we're talking about!" Al chuckled.
"Nahhh, I'm tired of politics. I just want to enjoy the game." Sophia shrugged her shoulders.
"Tssss. How do you even manage to sleep to get to that level?" Al was jealous. Oh, how easy it was to make whimsical choices if you're strong.
"Hehe. That's a secret, I can't reveal." Sophia snickered.
( -_- )
"Damn! By the way, do you happen to know about 'Dalaran's Skull?'" Al could only let go of the matter, as he immediately asked about his current goal.
"Dalaran? Isn't that the name of the World Boss in the Orc's Capital City of Frahim?" Sophia was a bit unsure.
"Nice! That's a big help! Thank you so much!" Al grinned. He's getting some good ideas.
Papa Bear.
He needs to contact Papa Bear as soon as possible.
"Hey! Let's get to the bottom line of my agenda here. What's your plan regarding our report in Advanced Algebra?" Sophia almost forgot.
"Eh? Actually...I'm quitting school. Hehe" Al scratched his head.
"You're crazy! Why are you throwing away your education for the sake of this game?" Sophia was taken aback.
"I'm not as smart as you, who could manage to balance school and War Grounds' demands. I can't serve two masters! Plus, I find more fulfillment in this game." Al was honest with his feelings.
"Fulfillment, huh? What a crazy word. So, what's your plan, Al Gentrix?" Al's claim amused Sophia.
"Uhhh...I need to find a 'battle station,' first. Do you have an extra console?" Al shamelessly asked.
"I don't have any, but my brother owns a lot. He runs a workshop! However, he's only accepting rookie applicants for now. If you did not create your account in the past month, you're not a potential recruit. He's currently looking for a representative for Yoshimitzu's 'First-Ever Rookie Challenge,' do you happen to know some leads?" Sophia responded.
Al grinned. "I'm the one you're looking for!"
"Huh? You sounded like a veteran player a while ago." Sophia was confused.
"It's a complicated story. Hehe. Can you introduce me to him now?" Al's tone was filled with excitement.
"As in now?" Sophia was doubtful.
"Yes!" Al was determined.
"You're a bad influence, Al Gentrix!" Sophia stood up. "Let's go! If I fail in my studies, you'll have to pay for the rest of my living expenses!"
"Eh! You have a choice, Sophia Hestias!" Al answered back.
"Huh? How did you know my last name?" Sophia shot a suspicious look.
"Duh. We're classmates!" Al immediately answered the most apparent alibi.
"I knew it. You have a crush on me. Well, the heavens are blessing you today. Come, I'll introduce you to my brother." Sophia took Al's right hand, dragging the boy out of the living room.
'So soft.' Al fantasized. He was in bliss.
...
Sophia praised Mrs. Gentrix's cookies. As a result, the two of them were easily granted permission to leave the house in the name of their 'project.'
"So, what's the name of your brother?" Al asked as he waved goodbye to his smiling mother.
"Solomon."

"Your parents seem to fancy names that start with 'S.'" Al noticed.
"Yup! My dad's a lover of wisdom. So, he and mom made sure that our names embody this idea."
"Awesome! What's your dad's name?" Al was pleasingly curious. He's getting to know the 'love of his life.' What a flirt.
"Eh? Are you courting me, Al Gentrix? I'm warning you." Sophia teased as she gestured a circle with her right hand.
"Wh-what's wrong with asking about your family!? I-I'm just making sure of my safety." Al's tone was defensive, his face blushing. "And what the hell is that?" He pointed out Sophia's right hand.
"Your chances of becoming my boyfriend."
Savage. ( T_T )
Al wanted to cry. All he ever wanted was just a name. How did he end up knowing his current chances against Sophia?
"I'm serious. What's the name of your father?" Al immediately returned to the topic.
"Martin," Sophia answered with a giggle.
"And your mom?" Al continued.
"Seriously? You're really keen on meeting my family?" Sophia rolled her eyes. "Tell me about your father's name first. Give and take, dude."
"Sorry. My father's name is Udil. That's also my IGN. Hehe."
"Wow. He must be your hero." Sophia commented.
"He is." Al smiled, his eyes brimming with respect.
"He must be really proud of what you're doing with your life, right now." Sophia teased, breaking the drama.
"Tsss. All he ever wanted was my happiness. I'm happy with what I'm doing." Al rolled his eyes.
"So, where is he working?"
"He's already dead. Hehe." Al simply smiled.
"Oh." Sophia did not know what to say. Why did she pick the Undead Race, again?
"It's okay. I've already moved on. Plus, every time I play, I get to spend time with him anyway. So, going back to the previous question. What's your mother's name?"
"Secret." Sophia grinned as she ran. "Faster! We're almost there!"
Shaking his head, Al gave a chase. The two of them sprinted, but after a few minutes, they ended up walking.
'Almost there' was an hour of travel.
'Almost there.' What a word.
