Instant Replacement
Jaino thinks, I better avoid confrontation with two of them. I need to deal with Doressa first. There's no way I can make a move with her on the field. She can immobilize me at the beginning of proving. "Doressa." The red-eyes and strictness lady stares at Jaino. "This subordinate of mine is named Krispen."
Krispen thinks, There's something fishy with this.
And with her soft and cold voice: "And what's with it?" has replied by Doressa.
The chairman advises, "Be serious Jaino. This isn't time for mixer."
Jaino asks, "Give me some time. It's improper to take this proving without me prepared."
Boss... has thought by Krispen.
"Krispen and Ms. Doressa, listen," has said by Jaino. "Krispen has been a loyal servant of mine. His wealth can feed eight children for ten years."
On the upper watchers area, Judith thinks, Jaino, what kind of bullshit is this. Sitting beside her, the male instructor has face palmed while he laughs.
Along with the students sitting on the lower watchers area, Ritzel also finds it funny. And some spectators who pay attention to the conversation laughs.
Raking his hair vice versa with his hand, Krispen asks, "Boss, what are you talking about? It's exaggerating and nonsense."
The chairman thinks, There's some hidden meaning with this conversation. I need to decode his words.
The fat man says, "Jaino, don't take time with such nonsense."
Jaino continues, "Did you get my point?" The strictness beauty with red-eyes sharpens her ears as she gazes at Jaino's face. And everyone around focuses in listening. "He's all yours."
Feeling the heat on his face, showing his reddish cheeks and near to his temple's sides, Krispen reacts, "Boss! She won't bite on it!"
Now that's not very funny, has thought by Judith. Covering his eyes, the male instructor beside Judith laughs. Ritzel and with her students nearby laugh as well as those people who pay attention.
In the blink of an eye, the strictness beauty with red eyes appears near Jaino's front. They stare at each other's eyes without blinking. One of the student a male states, "Look. It begins."
Unable to response to secure his boss safety, Krispen observes what next to happen.
Doressa says, "I believe you. I accept the offer." Everyone around laughs except for some few. Doressa appears in front of the startled Krispen and she says, "Take care of me, it's my first time on relationship."
Ah, my head is aching, has thought by Krispen. "Woman, you got it wrong." Getting flustered, he looks at Jaino. "Boss, make this clear to her."
Revealing his thumbs-up, Jaino replies, "Krispen, I can assure you she isn't tempted."
"Did you had sleep with her?" has commented by Krispen.
The woman in red-eyes speaks, "Now, that was an insult. I can assure you. I'm not tempted. I want a loyal pair. That's all I want. Is my appearance not enough?"
Unable to find any reasons to argue, he thinks, That's not it. Well, you're a beauty. But, I can't deal with your attitude. It's awkward! "But, look this is so sudden."
The beauty with red eyes holds Krispen hands. "See, my hands are cold and shaking. We're the same."
Krispen's thought falls empty as the red eyes beauty reaches his lips with her lips. He thinks, I can't move my body.
Ritzel and her students clap and cheer. Others admire the new couple while others are envy. Judith thinks, I don't like this.
"What's the meaning of this Doressa," has asked by the chairman.
"Chairman, it's clear that Jaino has bribed me. It's my defeat."
The chairman gasps. "Now, that's personal."
"Chairman. I believe you have something at stake with this proving. I believe it's personal. You need to make this legal."
The chairman sighs. "Fine."
Now that Doressa has taken care of, has thought by Jaino. To the bald fat man wielding a giant broadsword, Jiano says, "Bro, Tatawo."
The bald fat man replies, "Don't ever think you can bribe me."
This Jaino loudly asks, "Krispen, when will the weaponry shop completely build?"
"Maybe these incoming few weeks, boss." His reply makes the bald man wonders.
"Have you find a manager?" has asked again by Jaino to Krispen.
"Boss, you said you have someone talented and appropriated to that business in order to boost our equipments."
Becoming more worried, the bald fat man asks, "Hey, Jaino." He kneels. "I'm just kidding. I can be bribe."
Then on a sudden Jaino yells, "Now! Get up! Everyone distances yourselves!" Everyone notices and sees above the air, ongoing to land, a female smashes a giant golden hammer in the middle of the stage. The impact thunders the sound and the ground shakes. The dust covers the stages. And the giant hammer disappears. The chairman, the tall man, and the old man have distanced their selves. Doressa has managed to drag away Krispen and the bald fat man. Some people are coughing. And Krispen yells, "Boss! Where are you! Using the wind due to he's unable to move his body, Krispen blows up the dust above the air.
As the dust disappears, everyone sees Jaino facing at a female, Judith, standing at the shattered flooring of the stage.
"Is that you Judith?" has asked by Jaino. "You have become a fine woman."
Judith speaks, "Jaino, I have grown to kill you. My purpose to life is revenge on you. You're the reason I'm here right now. No matter what I did before, I could not go near or have a chance to take your life. There were those days I thought, are you really a norim? But, this day, this time, I have no reason to not fight you and not kill you."
Jaino intervenes, "Judith, revenge will bring us nowhere. You are old enough to accept reality. The case of illegal anti-spell potions and illegal healing potions are big. It left plenty of sorses death. It's wrong to kill our own kind for products. Your father and mother needed to repent their sins. But they were killed instead of surrendering to my father's division."
"I had loved you," has reminded by Judith. "Almost as if all of your lies were true. Too late that you told me you were a spy. You think that I was blind. You killed my father and mother that time."
"Judith..." Almost of the people around listen of their conversation.
"Yes, Jaino, I'm old enough to accept reality. But there is something that I can't deny. I live to what my heart's desire."
He smiles. "I guess," has agreed by Jaino. "Chairman, this woman won't hold back. Give her a privilege to become an examiner instead and a gift after her efforts."
She's an activ. How rare, has thought by the chairman. He replies. "That's a nice offer for you Jaino." And to the lady he speaks, "I don't know your circumstances. Lady, go ahead."
Activ, They are norims who imbue spirits, attributes, abilities, and animation to the inanimate materials; or form's materialization or metamorphosis. And some are puppeteer.
