He is starting to consider his options, first of all, the rent for the suit was very expensive and he still kept most of his money at home, he couldn't spend it all at once because the prosecutors are locating you and he didn't want to be in his Radar.
If this continues like this he will eventually have to join monarch and he did not want that, although he turned to monarch because he needed the false identification to create a new identity, deep down he did not want to join, although at first glance it seems like a very versatile affiliation and with a good reach, it does not allow it to be a black market for villains. Drugs, money laundering, human trafficking, organ trafficking, prostitution and murders are very recurrent things, not to mention the shadier things.
There he was waiting his turn for the interview, there were many teachers who are adults with an average age of 30 years old, there are also elderly people of approximately 50 years old, he dared to say that he was the youngest and not because he was actually 19 years old, even If he were 24 years old as his new identity marks, he would be relatively younger than most.
In fact, the teachers also thought he was a student, but they dismissed the idea after looking at Jimmy's various actions. They didn't feel like they were dealing with a teenager who barely knew the world, no... He behaved like an adult who is tired. of life and who are full of problems.
Something too specific to which the majority felt identified with him. In addition to the fact that he had a look, it was not that of a child trying to be cool, it was not that of a young man who looked at life with optimism and great aspirations, it was the of a tired person but who was willing to give everything and would not hesitate to do what was necessary to survive, it was the sight of a big bad wolf.
Meanwhile Jimmy was looking at the organizations, but he realized that most of them did not exist yet and those that did exist were too extreme for him, not to mention that many of those affiliations were religious extremists who know how to brainwash people.
He was not the type to get nervous easily, he remained calm when he was in a room with seven S-class villains and survived in an underground building that almost killed all eight of them, even with that he could have traveled to the past, but in those Seconds he was vulnerable.
The point was that this environment made him very nervous, it was not the typical bloodlust of murderers, it was a suffocating environment and no matter where it was he always felt it when he was looking for work, but the atmosphere was 10 times more past, it's like if there were vultures looking at their prey like scavengers.
Jimmy — *How long will it be my turn*
He just looked at the clock, how it was accelerating very slowly, if he had his temporal ability he would make his entire environment run by 2, but now that he doesn't have his most powerful ability he realizes how distressing it is to wait longer than necessary.
He just closed his eyes and started thinking, random things, meaningless things, they were a way to make time go by quickly, but he felt like time was getting longer and longer and longer.
Jimmy — *So I see that this is the curse of the time traveler, who no longer knows how to wait*
Two hours passed and it was finally his turn.
Jimmy got up relaxed and came to the door with all the confidence, knocking on the door.
Female voice — "Come in"
Jimmy opens the door and there was the director, Victoria Sinclair.
Victoria looked at Jimmy and was surprised — "Hello, I can help you."
Jimmy takes out his folder — "I'm here for the job"
Jimmy respectfully handed him the folder.
Victoria looks through the folder — "24 years old... I could say you look very young"
Jimmy with a small smile — "I could say the same about you, how old are you 20, 21"
Victoria just closed her eyes, she was 30 years old — "I see that you are a very nice young man, but don't think that I am a simple woman."
Jimmy — "I would never think that, I think you are a very extraordinary woman, at such a young age you were capable of managing one of the best universities"
Victoria looked skeptical and then looked dissatisfied — "Stop it... I know you think I got it because of my last name... Let's just continue with the"
Jimmy simply interrupted — "If you let me be impertinent, even if you got it because of your last name, there's something they don't see and that's the results."
Victoria just listened attentively.
Jimmy — "The results show how qualified one is for a position and so far you have done a great job... You are a great inspiration, you could say that I am your fan"
Victoria only gave a slight smile, she stopped crossing her arms and put her elbows on the desk.
Victoria — "Oh really"
You see, unlike the rest of the teachers who came to the meeting, he has something that most don't have... He knows Victoria very well because she was his principal in his previous life. He could tell that he knew her to a certain extent and that she had a great weakness.
She liked to be flattered but not romantic flattery, she was weak in the face of her own ego, she liked to hear how qualified and how good she was, she also used as a reference all the conversations she had and witnessed with her to guide her.
...
Elsewhere in Edwin's basement.
Verónica was on the phone assisting a client, Edwin was on the computer making some reports for the other sections of Monarca.
They both seemed very busy, like they were very stressed.
Verónica says goodbye to the client and hangs up — "We must get more workers"
Edwin — "We are currently busy, the Villains association has been quiet and the Heroes Association has not made a big move, the wisest thing is to save energy for when everything turns on"
Verónica looked bored — "But we have a lot of money, we can pay for a new secretary."
Edwin — "You need approval from the Crown, otherwise we can't hire, I can also hire someone, but in that case I would vouch for the person and I don't trust anyone"
Veronica — "You don't trust me"
Edwin—"No"
Edwin continued typing, but stopped
Veronica pulls out a knife
Two crows were heard cawing, at one point the two crows descended to the ground.
Slowly the two crows come together and it is seen how a mass of darkness covers them, slowly the image of a man is revealed.
Edwin with a serious face — William...
[William, Hero Association, S class]
[Hugin And Munin Skill]
[Summons Hugin and Munin]
[Ability ???]
[Hidden ability]
[Eye of Odin]
[???]
William just sat down, at this point he didn't look uncomfortable.
Edwin only analyzed the situation, and could only attend to Odin, it was rare that a hero needed his services, and even rarer that he was an S class, and much rarer that he was a hero from another city.
Edwin knew he had to be serious, this was not a normal person, but he had confidence in Monarch — "So Mr. William, I would like to know how we can help you"
William — "A week ago there was a great event that went unnoticed by everyone, a great time distortion covered the entire world"
Edwin — "It sounds very serious"
William — "You have no idea, in fact, the epicenter of this distortion was in this city"
Edwin — "So you want a team to..."
William interrupted — "By chance nothing strange happened on August 1, 2035. It's 12 hours: 0 minutes: 0 seconds."
Edwin began to look at his files - "No client visited us that day, there are no reports that anything abnormal will happen, the only notable thing was that a crazy man broke into a house in broad daylight... while there were witnesses watching the scene"
William frowned, heard a noise and turned around.
I look at a guy who was tied inside a cage, his eyes and mouth were covered, he was also half naked with only his boxers on.
He looked scared, terrified and you could see knife cuts on his skin.
William knew he didn't want to be a part of whatever was going on.
William just sighs — "I'll tell you once, something suspicious happened, something that stood out by mere chance, the anomaly was a temporary one, it's likely that we have a time traveler."
Edwin looked into William's eyes — "No, there was nothing suspicious."
In normal cases Odin would have detected the lie with his Odin eye, but currently he was not present with his eye, he was a projection caused by his crows, he is still in his office so it is impossible to use his eye on Edwin.
Even so, he saw no lies, slowly William unraveled and transformed into two crows, they left down a business card and a large wad of money, then these two crows flew away.
Edwin made sure that the two ravens were no longer present, he also made sure that the wad of money and the business card had nothing to Odin to hear them — "It's safe, we can talk."
Verónica — "Why don't you tell on Jimmy"
Edwin — "Easy... I don't like William, besides what moves this world is information, information is power... Handing Jimmy over would be like giving William more power and we would lose a lot"
Veronica looks thoughtful — "Do you really think Jimmy is a time traveler?"
Edwin — "There is not even a record of his existence, in addition to knowing about his identities and existence, in addition, Victor's location is an existence that only the executives of the Heroes association and the round table of the villains association know... "We two are the exception because you were a victim and I was present when Victor disappeared the 15 heroes."
Edwin looked annoyed — "If it weren't for Monarch, both the hero association and the villain association would have killed me."
The two looked at Victor, he was scared, he didn't understand anything, but he knew, he knew that there were very dangerous people, he wanted to see his wife, he wanted to see his little daughter and then he started to cry.
Edwin — "It's hard for me to believe it's the same Victor"
Veronica — "Don't worry, I'll make him remember his sins and then I'll kill him"
Edwin — "Don't play with him, he only disappeared 15 S-class heroes at the same time"
Veronica just looked annoyed, she still remembered Jimmy, if he really is a time traveler, she wonders if he knows the location of her younger brother, he just returned to work, she was getting depressed.
...
Returning to Jimmy
People were getting nervous, like the director was taking a long time, which is what was happening, their nervousness was increasing, they were wondering what that young man was doing.
Victoria had a surprised face - No
Jimmy with a big smile — Yes
Victoria slightly covers her mouth - No
Jimmy — Yes, yes.
Victoria couldn't stand it and started laughing out loud, she was able to control herself.
He looked at Jimmy and watched as he formed two little horns with his fingers and put them on his head.
Victoria couldn't anymore, she started laughing like a mad woman, at one point she started crying and then her stomach was hurting, she wanted to stop, but she couldn't anymore.
He couldn't remember the last time he had so much fun.
Jimmy looked at the clock — "Time passed."
Victoria looked at her watch and realized it was true.
Jimmy — "What do you say we put in 20 more minutes, I'm enjoying talking to you"
Victoria with a slight smile — "Would you like to go have a cup of tea with me?"
Jimmy with a slight smile — "It would make me very happy"
At that moment Victoria grabbed a stamp and put Approved in Jimmy's file.
Maybe because Victoria was too relaxed or because she momentarily forgot about her mission, but she had just made a big mistake and hell would come to the hero association.
