Chereads / A Flight To the UnderWorld / Chapter 3 - THE TEST

Chapter 3 - THE TEST

"Summarize the categories of souls."

"There is bright souls and dark souls; for both the cause of death can be: natural death as in old age and health problems, accidents and murder. Then there is ...dim souls with one cause of death: suicide ", for the last sentence Alan felt some difficulty saying those words, which meant that he and all the souls in here had committed suicide. 

" What's the difference between resented souls and normal souls?"

"Both can be dark, bright or dim; the difference is that normal souls are the ones successfully reaching the road of blooming, but resented souls may shatter in the way or hide and refuse to go back or simply because of leaving the body before the original time of death so the grim reaper didn't get to take it back. "

"I guess this is enough, for how to guide the souls back it will be better to experience rather than just knowing through words.", then he stood and shook his hand again," I hope we have successful cooperation. "

"Then, when can I start?"

"Right away, I will deal with something quickly then we can go."

Alan was stunned, that's it ??! He thought he had to recite all the ten thousands words from the book "the easy way to succeed as a grim reaper"; from how to draw the soul out of the body to what to say on the road of blooming. But turns out the author was just exaggerating, or... maybe this Razel has low requirements? 

Matthew, the author of the book , at the moment was on his way to meet Jacob to discuss the spiritual weapons needed for these assistants. 

Razel held a giant box that also appeared suddenly and gave it to Jacob, "Here is your request, there is even a bonus. We will get going now."

"Wait! Won't he need a weapon?"

"No need, he will be just standing by this time."

When Matthew entered, he saw Jacob in the corner faraway from the souls he was supposed to be supervising, he was looking for something in a giant box with a face full of excitement, he could vaguely see some documents and books ; but once he noticed him trying to peek he quickly closed the box and send it to somewhere, probably his room in the other half of this realm.

"You are here to ask about the spiritual weapons right? Please have a seat, I will give you the list in a moment."

Matthew and a lot of colleagues actually were fans of this legendary assistant that can handle both Razel; the frozen flower, and Grace; the director of the department also known as the head of the room of scripts. So in his heart, he thought that the box must be full of secret documents he had to deal with, which made him more encouraged to do the work. Look, Jacob who's busy all day dealing with two tyran...no no no, two respected role models, is happy when seeing additional work. How could he, as someone who has enough free time to write books and just need to make or fix a bunch of weapons from time to time compare to him? 

So when he handed him the list he replied with enthusiasm, "Mr,Jacob is efficient as always, you prepared it quickly.".Then he started looking through the list to see if there is something he needs to inquire about so he won't bother his real role model again.

" It's my duty Mr,Matthew, if you have any doubts please don't hesitate to ask."

"Then I won't be polite, I will try to make it quick.", Matthew answered then continued looking at the list, after analyzing the data hastily he finally asked,"I see there is a lot of attachment weapons requests, would it be possible to take the things with me now? Just to start as soon as possible "

Jacob realized suddenly that he forgot to ask Alan to leave the bracelet before he left, "Of course, I can collect them now, but there is one that I have to send it to you later; since the owner just left in a mission and I don't have the ability to get things from outside the second realm."

"I understand, as for the general shape and details I just have to choose the best according to the attachment object, no need to ask the souls?"

"Yes, but try not to make them complicated to use; and for every weapon you could write a simple note of how to use it, so you don't need to personally explain to very individual soul. "

"That's a good idea, I will do my best. I don't have anymore questions, if there is nothing to mention, I will take my leave so as not to delay assistant Jacob. "

Jacob nodded then turned to the souls that are still focusing on the book and said:" Attention please everyone, put the things we talked about earlier in this box. For those who don't have them please continue your studying.", after all the souls returned to their places, he handed the box to Matthew who thanked him briefly and left in a hurry. Little did he know that when Matthew reached his workshop he found a bunch of his colleagues waiting for him with bright eyes to describe to them their role model which no need to mention is Jacob.

Razel and Alan went to the transport point to continue the mission Razel was dealing with before going back.

On their way down, he explained to Alan his role, "We are using this since you are not familiar with flying, next time you need to get on the spiritual horse. I will be dealing with the soul and explaining when needed, you just need to fill the papers while I am doing so. ". Then he handed a stack of paper and a pen to him, "You can start by filling the info of the soul now."
