“Oh my divines, that was such a funny movie!” Devon said laughingly while holding his stomach.
Everyone laughed so hard at the funny scenes from the Shrek film, and Anton was amazed anew at the power of his Diablo II system since it was able to translate the funny scenes. Normally, it would be extremely difficult to translate a funny scene in a movie into another language and perfectly convey the humor, but for some reason, Shrek was translated almost without any flaw.
It helped that most of the films the movie referenced, mostly Disney films, had already been seen by his family, such as Snow White, The Little Mermaid, and Cinderella. Even Anton laughed so hard since it had been so long since he last watched the film.
“The next time we do a cosplay event, I’ll cosplay as Fiona!” Anna said while still laughing.
“It would be better if you cosplay as the dragon since your temper is just like hers,” Anton taunted, and Anna threw a couch pillow at him.
“Well, you can cosplay as Shrek!” Anna shrieked, and everyone laughed.
“Are there any more Shrek films?” Antonia shrewdly asked.
“How did you know that there would be more Shrek films?” Anton wondered.
“This film is probably successful based on the audiences’ reactions, and according to you, most successful films tend to have a second or even more films created after it,” Antonia said.
“You are correct. There are five official Shrek films and two T.V. movies.”
“Can we watch the second film?” Anna asked.
“Sure. Let’s watch it tomorrow evening, then.”
After watching the movie, Anton left his family to do whatever they wanted to do before resting and entered his room. At first, he thought of leveling up his character or maybe creating more enchanted items since it was still a little early, but he was feeling lazy, so he just pulled up his system and surfed the internet.
He briefly visited his streaming account and read comments and questions about why he hadn’t uploaded any covers for a while. Since he had few viewers, Anton thought that nobody cared about his covers since even though he felt that his music covers were good, there were a ton of good artists on the internet. Even his setting, which was mostly inside his room on the Amelia, and his clothes, which were his mage robes, were not unique. Some of the artists on the internet were also good cosplayers.
Because of the comments, Anton decided to record his music practice whenever he did it and upload it to his streaming account. Even though it wouldn’t do anything for him, it would feed his ego, which he felt was a little important in boosting his confidence.
After a while, he rested, and the next day was the same. He attended his classes and mingled with his classmates for an hour, and during the afternoon, he created around three enchanted items and leveled up his Assassin character. During those hours, Anton was relieved to notice that the storm had passed, so the Amelia became stable again. At around six in the evening, he practiced his music, but this time, he made an effort to record a song that he sang for practice and uploaded it to his streaming account.
During dinner, he saw that his father wasn’t home yet, and Frederick informed him that everyone was busy due to the showing of Beauty and the Beast the next day.
“What can they be busy for?” Anton curiously asked.
“Antonia had this idea of holding a pre-showing party, and it was an exclusive one attended by the rich. I think she got the idea from the video clip that you showed us about award parties for films. I think it was called “Oscars” or some such thing,” Walter said.
“At first, Antonia thought of holding a film award event, but then again, Lucia said that it would be meaningless since in this world, all the movies came from our family,” Frederick added.
“Antonia just find the concept of showing off the dresses they selected for the event amazing just like those artists and celebrities that were showing off because of the film award events that you’ve shown us,” Walter said.
All that information meant that they were own during dinner that night and because of that, all of them decided to just eat what inside the suite using the food they stored in their inventory but Walter said that they could order food from the restaurants through Harun so after Frederick found Harun, Walter handled the food ordering and while they were waiting, they all continued practicing their magic.
In the meantime, in a fit of whimsy, Anton joined the others and decided to memorize some of the standard spellbooks that had been growing some mold in his inventory, and when Harun and some other men arrived with their dinner, he managed to memorize a few spells.
“Frederick, what will happen to the spells that I’ve memorized if I don’t use them for months?” Anton asked the mage.
“You know what, I actually don’t know since I have not had any spells that sat on my mind for that long,” Frederick answered.
Anton just noted the questions down and planned to ask one of the mages the next time he goes to his classes.
After dinner, Anton was surprised to see that his father and the others had not arrived yet, but Walter comforted him that there shouldn’t be any problem, so Anton just went inside his room and entered his Diablo II system. He spent the rest of the evening practicing the spells of his characters since he had been neglecting it for some time. After a couple of hours of magic practice, he switched to leveling up his Assassin until he reached the maximum level of the character.
Anton was glad that he had finally reached the Assassin’s maximum level and the only thing he needed to do was to hunt for the “Best in Slots” gear for the assassin and after that he could switch to the next character which would either be the Amazon or the Barbarian.
The next day, Anton joined his family for breakfast in the dining hall. Anders told him that it would be a busy day that day since it was the opening day for the animated film Beauty and The Beast.
In the meantime, the other mages had classes and would only return to the suite during the afternoon, so Anton decided to roam around. He went to the deck, where he met Torun and the others and was surprised to see that his friends were there.
“What are you doing here? I thought you had classes?” Torun asked.
“My classes are only on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. The rest of the week is mine but I will still need some time to read some of the books provided by my teachers and do some homework if there’s any but it’s looking like homework is not going to be a problem. What about you guys? What are you doing here?” Anton asked since everyone was there including Soren’s gang members.
“We’re waiting for the cinema to open in a couple of hours. We’ve already purchased tickets for the movie Beauty and The Beast!” Andrea excitedly said.
“The movie Beauty and The Beast is one of my favorite films. The music there is really good,” Anton said and that fueled the excitement that his friends were feeling and looking at their excited face, Anton missed the time when he was excited for any upcoming movies.
