It's been so boring in the village lately.
No new mob attacks.
No mention of Herobrine.
Nothing spawning in my monster box.
The biggest news in the past few days has been a single dark oak tree growing in the distance.
Even Max hasn't bothered me much. Gone are the days of him calling me the King of Noobs. Today, he greeted me with a simple "Hello."
And I think he's right about Pebble.
Whenever I walked past Pebble and his friends, they glanced at me and fell silent.
Dude, at least call me some names or something.
SOMETHING.
Someone . . . somewhere . . . DO SOMETHING.
Then, after school, something happened.
More trees in the east.
Everyone in the streets couldn't stop talking about it.
Okay, okay, I really should have been a lumberjack, I guess.
I will become a lumberjack.
If those trees are seriously the biggest threat to our village, then so be it. I will take down those trees and cut them and shape them into planks.
How boring, right?
As I stood on the east wall, looking at the trees, I noticed Steve and Mike in the distance, along with the mayor.
If I just walked up and approached, they'd probably stop talking, just like Pebble and his friends.
So, I took snuck up on them like a creeper, hid in some grass, and listened to their conversation.
"Fire," said the mayor. "We need fire to burn those trees."
"I couldn't suggest getting too close to those trees, though," said Mike.
"What about flaming arrows?"asked Steve. "Is that possible?"
Seriously?
Seriously?!
They were having a hushed and serious conversation about removing trees?!
And they haven't told me anything about it?!
I just couldn't believe they wouldn't tell me about something so small as this.
Trees are growing near the village.
Oh dear.
I was angry.
I walked up to them while they were talking.
"I'll admit, I'm no lumberjack," I said, "but I've swung an ax a few times before! Come on guys, let me in on this!"
Steve, Mike and the mayor looked at each other.
Steve stepped forward.
"Runt," he said, "it's nothing major, okay? We just don't want to get you involved anymore. We want you to focus as much as you can on your studies."
"That's right," said the mayor. "Runt, do you remember when I said you would never become a warrior? I was simply testing you. I wanted to see how you would react. And you didn't let my words affect you in any way. In fact, it strengthened you. That's how a real warrior would react. So please, go back home and do your homework. Don't let your level fall behind."
Mike nodded. "Just a few trees, buddy boy. Nothing we can't handle."
Buddy boy?!
I wondered who started using that phrase first, Max or Mike?
Whatever.
I know something is up with those trees.
But what?
I listened to them, though, and went back home.
That was when I heard it.
A weird noise, coming from the monster box.
