Earth-3, salt of the Leader, some time later.
The sun started to get hotter and stronger with each passing minute . The huge chandelier that was filled with small diamond stones that reflected the lights throughout the room, surrounded by small details, leaving a delicate air to the room.
The sofas were made of soft feathers with a comfortable texture fabric, leaving the place cozy, but still a little old, so the room had that formal and serious look of an office.
In the middle of the room, there was a large coffee table made of glass with some details in solid metal, polished and some documents lost here and there, such as contracts, communications and letters.
At that moment, the sunlight reflected on Jack's face, who was angry, but controlled and thoughtful, his head bowed and a few strands of hair covering his eyes, his lids slightly closed.
He heard things that he never imagined existed in his life. Jhenefer was also looking angry, but, unlike Jack, she was conflicted within herself and asking herself, would that all make sense? Of all three, she seemed to be the most calculating, so it was difficult to swallow the whole situation.
And Michel was apparently more intense than Jack, he gritted his teeth and clenched his clenched hands, in the act, he got up frantically to try to hit the Leader, who disappeared from the place where he was sitting and reappeared again behind the boy, the paralyzing with just a touch of his index finger on the back of his neck, he collapsed to the floor.
- H-How did you do that? - p erguntou Jack also , the body paralyzed with what he had just witnessed, cold sweat, afflicted.
- From his expression, I already knew that he would react that way at one time or another, so I only put him to sleep some more, but I didn't kill him. Relax ... He is a child who will not be killed so easily. The same thing happens to you! - r Sponde u giving small laughter, amused with the youth disbelief will front.
- Why do we have to help you in this battle? We don't even have powers!
- Of course you have, you just haven't learned to use them yet! - r responds u with a small smile on his face.
- How can you know that? - i ndagou Jack getting anxious, even in a cold sweat and shaking their hands stronger by the minute.
- As soon as you arrived here, some creatures talked to you, right? They are the ones who will grant the powers, but you need to learn to use and master them perfectly! For that, it is necessary that the three enter the guild and enlist. There you can start training and receive some missions that will strengthen you even more. This is the only Meth ode to return home. - and hissed with both hands on his chin and with a serious countenance.
- I need and want a guarantee that everything you are telling us is true, just so I can trust you. - f alou Jack shaking his voice in tone serious, looking at the leader as if it were an easy prey.
- If that's the way you prefer it, I have no objection to that! Let's do a blood contract then. - the nunciou Frenizet .
- And what could that be? - Jack said.
- We will make a contract where I swear I will send them back to Earth-1 if they help me in the battle. If I don't comply with the contract, I die instantly, what do you think? After that we will both drip a drop of blood and paper and it will be over! - the alientou Frenizet with a sneaky smile while looking va frantically Jack's face, waiting for a desperate reaction.
Jack and Jhenefer thought for a few minutes, they talked on some points until they reached the final verdict.
- We will sign the contract, since this is the only method so far thought of returning home. But I'm already saying that I'm not a soft body! Whatever I have to do for my good and that of my friends, I will do it! Even if I have to go over someone like you . - Responds u Jack in a firm voice, body strong and determined, with a position of those who could do anything just wanted.
- Hahaha , you really impressed me boy! Freizen was a genius in planning how to create it, you can clearly see the sagacious spirit of the mystical knowledge magician in you! - f alou in a surprised tone that made Jack get a little amazed.
- Right. So ... what do we need to do now?
- First you need to know the city and the places you will be going, start making friends and acquaintances. It can be difficult on the first day, but you will have to get used to this place, since you will spend a lot of time here. - r spans u .
Jack was thoughtful for a while, but decided to accept the idea, because he didn't have much to discuss, not least because he didn't know anything, much less anyone from that city, so meeting people would be a crucial task for him, as it would help him a lot in the near future.
During the day ...
The long day had passed. All three had the opportunity and obligation to visit most places in the city and especially the open market. The people they passed by admired them, you could tell by the looks, because they already knew who the three were only by the colors of their eyes, even so they did not manifest themselves immediately, but were amazed to be under the spotlight.
The next day...
A long night passed without them being able to sleep properly thinking about the current situations of each one. After going to the dining room that had a vast banquet served, they prepared and went in order to join the guild.
The Guild was a huge and chic place, which resembled a mansion well protected by robust and strong guards, quite frequented, both by young people at the beginning of their adventurous career and by more experienced adults. There, anyone could enlist, with magical powers or not.
When the three arrive v a m in the mansion and enter ra m in the main room they were surprised by the amount of people who were enlisted and worked both the power they possessed as the need for money as it had deprived and poor families. It shook them both positively and negatively, as it was not something everyone did, they thought.
At the large service desk, Jack approached looking for information. A woman with a defined body, blue eyes, fair skin and long blond hair was sitting in a partially high chair. Seeing that they were approaching, he immediately focused his attention.
"So they are the three young people that people have been talking about since yesterday ... You can see that they are not normal people just by the color of their eyes! I'll take the test ... Let's see if they are reincarnations in fact! " Thought the woman.
- Hello young people, good morning! How could I help you today? - p erguntou the woman with a beautiful smile disguised, but moving, making the heart beat Michel for a few seconds.
- Good Morning! - r Sponde u Jack returning the little smile of the girl. - We want to join the guild!
- So you came to the right place! Here, several people work on different missions offered not only by us , but also by the city itself. Do you already know what types of magic dominate?
- Not specifically. We know we have magical powers , we just don't know which ones!
- So let's find out now! - engaged the woman. - Depending on your power, missions can be easier or more difficult. - and sneaked out, but still making Michel's heart skip a beat again.
The woman took them to a room that had an intriguing name, Revelation! In this room, she could see the powers of each person and the intensity of them, whether the powers within them are too weak and almost without a trace of magic, or too strong and intense, almost difficult to control.
- Let's take the test now! - p ensou woman looking surreptitiously for the three again. In that Jack notices the look, but disguises it too.
"She must be planning something ... I have to be careful ! " , He thought Jack to look doubtful.
- Basically each of you should put your hands on top of the crystal ball and wait a few seconds. It will shine and show the power level and the intensity of the magic. - and explained .
- Well, I'll go first! - f alou Jack taking the initiative, but already expecting something unusual to happen by the woman.
He put his hands on the ball and waited a few seconds. He noticed that the ball started to shine in a strong intensity showing two images, the first was of a big flame and the second of a very dense type of metal. The ball highlighted two colors: red and gray, then returned to its normal state.
"As I have heard and hoped, this boy is a reincarnate of a magician ! If all three generate the same reaction, I will have no more doubts! " , He thought.
- Now it's my turn! - p ronunciou Jhenefer , and the beautiful crystalline blown out.
The same thing that happened to Jack happened to Jhenefer . She put her hands on the ball and waited a few seconds. She noticed that the ball started to glow in a strong intensity showing two images: one with big waves resembling the sea in revolt and the other with a strong wind in the shape of a whirlwind. The ball highlighted two colors, blue and white, then returned to its normal state.
Soon after that, Michel also accomplished the feat. But, just like Jack and Jhenefer , the same thing happened to him. He put his hands on the ball and waited a few seconds. He noticed that the ball started to glow with a strong intensity showing two images: a vast forest with giant trees, very alive and birds flying and large and rocky mountains in the distance. The ball highlighted two colors, green and brown, then returned to its normal state.
The woman at that moment had cleared her doubts and was amazed to discover that wonderful feat herself.
- I knew! Since yesterday, the villagers have been commenting on you, who were unusual young people and had different colored eyes. Everyone started to suspect that they were reincarnations of ancient magicians , but they didn't know which ones! - the he signed the woman. Jack, Jhenefer and Michel started to get nervous and took a few steps back, moving away from the woman.
- What do you intend to do with us? - i ndagou Jack with a deep voice and good sound, making the woman hang there.
- Now I understand the situation! You have such powerful magical powers, but you still don't know how to use them, am I sure?
- That's right, why the question?
- I thought you already knew how to use your powers. But as you don't know, I will send you to the first task, which is training. I will send you to a famous training ground that everyone here attends or has attended. There are three levels there: level-01, which is easy, level-02, which is medium, and level-03, which is the most difficult. Many people who go there end up dying right there, as it is quite challenging and dangerous.
"Then why the hell are you going to send us there if it's so dangerous?" - asked Jack with angry face, gritting his teeth and getting red eyes.
- Because whoever enters there without knowing anything and manages to get out alive, is already considered strong enough for any challenge or mission. To be honest, 70% of the people who enter there do not leave alive, only the 30% who manage to leave almost dead, but still alive. It takes a few days to recover from the damage suffered, but the power is already growing exponentially! - Explains the woman. - But I'm sure that won't be the case for you! There are other training camps, but none compared to this. If you want to be strong to face anyone in front of you, train in this field that I am suggesting.
- So that's right, I hope I don't die in the process. - r Sponde u Jack to face suspicious and doubtful about the whole situation. - So ... How can we get there? We don't even have a means of transport!
- It will be a long two-day journey, with no unwanted stops! But, as you have no means of getting around a long way, we can only help you ... Just this once. - affirmed the woman.
- If that is the case, then I think I should thank you ... But I have n't been with your face yet! - said Jack gravely enough for her to be amazed.
- Well ... Trust is like friendship, you only gain with time! But I really wish the three of you good luck in training. I shouldn't say that, but please ... Come back alive!
" S-sure ," Jack said, afraid of the woman's reaction. - We're going, then!
- Good trip to you! - Said the woman waving to the three as they continue their journey to the training camp, being guided by guild guards. Frenizet was watching everything next to the young blonde, appearing literally out of nowhere, as if she were invisible all the time, and she was really watching everything and the situation that developed in those consecutive moments. The woman almost whispered to Frenizet , hopefully:
- You can be sure, my Leader ... They will come back alive! Those creatures will not allow them to die so easily, after all, if those young people die, they die too! - said the woman in a somber tone.
- Now just wait and see what will happen to them. Honestly ... I 'm excited! It is not always that there are reen carnations like these young people! - Said the Leader, calculating and measuring each word spoken by him, as if they were being analyzed.
- You are right, my lord. Let's wait! - f inalizou the woman, with a twinkle in his eye to their Leader.
Michel also kept looking back and trying to catch a glimpse of the woman's face, which made her heart race frantically. In that he realized something unusual, he fell in love at first sight.
