Showing up with Victoria, Jim gathers the kids up because it’s now time for them to go to a new world. This might be their first world, but at least it’s a little safer than the other worlds, because there they wouldn’t have anyone helping them. At least on the Bloodbore Continent they had one of the 11 lords helping them stay out of trouble, this eased his worries a lot. Victoria is simply happy, because she can finally leave this place now that her son is old enough. She has been stuck here for 15 years already and is really missing home, and some of the clothes too.
Opening a portal, the kids didn’t know what to say, were they suppose to step in it or was she just showing off her attack skills. Urging them forward they leapt into the portal, then in an instant they were popping out in the middle of nowhere.
Seeing nothing but sand around and no one else they were wondering where they were, but suddenly their parents said some strange spell and a door appeared out of the ground. Passing through the door it was as if they were in some holy temple, there were relics everywhere and statues of different people. “Whats this place?” They said in unison, glancing around.
“This is Len Temple, my lords. This is where you transfer and go to another world, just name it and you’ll be able to go there.” A mysterious voice sounded out and shortly after an old man in a black suit came out.
Jim showed a bright smile towards the man.“Victor! Haven’t seen you in a while, its been what 15 years man. You really haven’t aged at all.”
Seeing who it was coming into the temple Victor felt happy, but also slightly disappointed knowing they wouldn’t stay around for long, “Ah, Mr. and Mrs. Phenix I knew you would show up one of these days. Hardly anyone ever comes here anymore and no one ever leaves, such a pity i can’t really do my job. But what can I do for you today, going back to the Bloodbore Continent?”
“Sorry we have to keep our conversation short, maybe i’ll stop by in a few years after my son grows up more, but yes we will be going there.”
“Certianly my lords, right this way.” Victor said opening up a gate in the middle of the temple. Xzavon and co. stepped into the portal, but this didn’t feel like the last portal it felt like they were dreaming. After a few minutes passed by if felt like their consciousness was returning then they seen the end of the portal was a white light.
-Bloodbore Continent
Stepping out of the portal there are 6 people, but no one is really paying them attention because this isn’t something that they haven’t seen before. People come and go to new worlds all the time, but they didn’t know this was Xzavon’s first time coming to a new world. Not only him, his friends too they are all staring with amazement at the scene in front of their eyes.
This isn’t like the small village they grew up in, this is at least 5 times as big as that, not to mention there are houses everywhere. Tons of stores around and Inns, Merchants selling products in the street, people walking around with swords, even a few people in magician robes. To them it feels surreal, like something that came out of a fantasy; which might be true, carriages, horses, beautiful ladies all around you name it this place has it. They are getting excited at this new scene but it is just the tip of the iceberg because this isn’t even the whole continent, just a small town.
Victoria takes the kids to a tailor shop so they can get some new treads, that way when they go take the entrance exam they at least won’t look like poor commoners. Stepping foot into the shop the first thing that catches Xzavons eyes is this blue outfit; it may look normal but it’s not. Attached to it is a tight black shirt, short blue jacket with furs on the rim of it, and loose blue pants. Although he wants it, he doesn’t know how much it cost, he also doesn’t know if his mom has the funds to pay for it.
Seeing the young man looking at this exquisite outfit the owner puts on his best face to try to sell his product. It took him half a year to get the materials for this, and yet anyone who has seen it doesn’t have the funds to buy it, it would be a shame if his best product were to rot in this store. After taking a few steps forward and he gets a good look at Xzavon, he notices that his clothes aren’t even better than his worst clothes in the store so he decides to give him.
Seeing her son looking at the outfit Victoria urges him to get it, saying no matter how much it cost she’ll have enough for it. It wasn’t just Xzavon, the other kids also wanted something but they thought they wouldn’t have enough for it. Victoria sincerely urged them to get whatever they wanted, the cost would be covered by her, seeing her urging them they didn’t waste a second and immediately grabbed their outfits.
After the owner seeing the youths grabbing the outfits, not just any outfits but some of his best work, he felt a vein in his forehead. How could he not be angry, these commoners are coming in his store and messing with his work, but he wouldn’t dare say anything instead he can only hold it in. Or so he thought when he seen Xzavon grabbing the blue outfit, his best work is being touched by a merely poor commoner his anger exploded. “Put that down! I have put up with you peasants touching the others but you can’t touch that! Your whole life savings can’t even pay for 1% of what that cost, and you dare to touch it. Shoo, go away, you will disturb my other customers if you stay in here, they’ll say I serve commoners and even the nobles won’t dare to come into this place anymore.”
“Fuck you! Who says we can’t touch this or touch that, money is money if we have it we’ll spend it. Even my own mother doesn’t say such nonsense as you, wait until i pass the exam i’ll come back here and blow your damn shop up.” Shina’s voice exploded with anger, even the people who were passing by stopped and looked at the commotion. Seeing the clothes that Xzavon and them were wearing, they didn’t know what was happening but they did know that they couldn’t afford the clothes in the shop. I mean, if they couldn’t afford it how could commoners afford such clothes, just seeing them in the shop made them angry that they even wanted to step into the shop and kick them out themselves.
“Sir, no need to get worked up over some clothes. The clothes in this shop aren’t even the best out there, but they will do for them for now. We’ll just take these clothes and get out of this shop, don’t worry about future business because you will never have a future. Treating your customers like this, who cares if they are commoners or nobles, it’s all the same.” Vicitora said trying to hide her disgust at this man.
Glancing out the door the owner has seen the crowd and thought this was a good opportunity to show off. Telling all those out there that if you don’t have the money then don’t even step foot in this shop. Finally he looked at Victoria, even though she was a one of a kind beauty it was to say that she was poor. Such a waste he thought, if she were to grow up in a noble household then maybe he would give her face, but she was but a merely poor commoner. Making up his mind he decided, “Since you insist on buying these clothes, i’ll give you a discount and make it 5 gold and you can have the clothes. You should know that these originally cost 15 gold all together but for a commoner like you i felt pity. Oh not paying, fine then 1 gold, what still can’t pay then get the hell out!”
Victoria shrugged her shoulder, then pulled out a white coin and tossed it to the owner. “This should do, keep the change because i doubt you would even have enough to pay me back anyways. You should know who are the ones in control, ‘Phenix’ won’t take kindly to people like you, enjoy your last days sir.” She then gathered the kids and left the tailor shop leaving all the spectators and the owner stunned.
Not only did they not expect her to pull out a white coin but to say the ‘Phenix’ wouldn’t take kindly to this was even worse. Who are the ‘Phenix’ one of the 11 lords of Bloodbore, no one would just toss around a name like that, because if you did and later it was found out that you were a part of their sect that would mean the end of you. This caused ripples in the town, shortly after they left everyone passed around this news; that someone had used ‘Phenix’ name and that she was a beauty. They were trying to find out who this person was, even if she wasn’t one of them she has to have someone backing her up to use their name as easy as she did.
Meeting up with Jim in the Inn that he booked Xzavon and co. talked about what happened the whole day and night. Knowing that his wife caused a big commotion he knew that they were going to have to leave early in the morning or else they would have to reveal their identities. “Why did you use our name so easily, this is going to be trouble we just can’t have people come over here and shut him down. The other lords would say we were abusing our power, we would be the laughing-stock of town if they knew about this.”
Putting her slender hand on his shoulder she comforted him, “Don’t worry dear, Shina already said she’ll take care of it once she passed her exam. I we can just give her a temporary pass and ignore what she’ll do to that shop, besides i already gave him enough money to live happily even if his shop is destroyed.”
“Y-you didn’t, you gave him a white coin, where would he even spend that much money, let alone who would have enough money to give him change. He would have to travel to the capital just to even get change for a white coin, and everyone knows he has it so he might not even live to see tomorrow.”
Pursing her lips, “It was his fault, hmph! acting like we were some poor commoners. What right does he have, why should i care if he lives or dies tonight, all the better if he does.”
Giving his wife a kiss, “No wonder I fell in love with you, this is the Victoria I know. Too bad we won’t see the outcome of this.”
Early the next day, Xzavon and co. were on their way to Devertown City, the Capital of Flair Kingdom. As they were boarding their carriage they were stopped by the guards of the town, who surrounded them.
“Halt! You have used ‘Phenixs’ name and yet no one in this town can figure out who you are. Therefore we have come to the agreement that you aren’t related to them, you are herby sentenced to execution.”
Noticing the noise that was happening, everyone in the town was looking out their window or stopped their transactions to take a look at what was happening. Even the owner of the tailor shop stepped out to take a look at what was happening, when he noticed that it had something to do with Victoria he felt glad, ‘serves her right’ he thought.
Jim was fed up with this, “This is getting irritating, officer whats your name?”
The brown-skinned guard noticing that Jim was talking to him was terrified, instead he felt that Jim should at least know the name of his murder. “My name is Kalin, may I know the name of the man i’m going to kill and his wife?” Kalin said this is the nicest voice, he hated killing other people but knowing that they used ‘Phenix’ name and they weren’t even related irritated him so he felt he should at least kill them to calm himself down.
“What, you didn’t even inspect my name? You should at least do this before you make a scene.”
“Its not that, it’s just that I cant see anything.”
Jim’s face greatly changed, he know remembered that he always hid his name and told the kids to hide their info also or else some nasty bastards would try something against them if they found out who they were. “I see, in that case I’ll let you know who i am. This is really an honor for someone of your status, or a matter of everyone in the town.”
| Name: | Jim Phenix |
| Alignment: | Good |
| Class: | ??? |
| Title: | [Headmaster] Blood of the Phenix
??? |
| Level: | ??? |
After he said that, the guards and everyone started seeing his info, one after another inspected him. Noticing who he was they immediately kneeled, and the people who were looking turned and went into their houses. “My lord, I didn’t think you would grace us ever. No one outside your clan or the 11 lords have seen you and lived to tale about it. Thats why we didn’t notice who you were, if you would just let redeem ourselves and spare our lives that would be our greatest honor.”
Jim didn’t even have a change of face after hearing these words, he just looked the same but after thinking about how they were planning on executing him he was about ready to kill them. As he was about to move Xzavon interrupted, “Just leave them alone, we are wasting time already, if this keeps up we’ll be late to the entrance exams. Besides i’m in a somewhat good mood, who knew that dad would be famous, i guess you talking about being a famous adventurer wasn’t just a lie.”
“Just kill the fuckers, especially that tailor shop owner I would do it personally but I don’t know if i can currently.” Shina’s voice sounded, and the ever so nervous guards looked at her, ‘Damn this kid does she not show us face even though we didn’t know who she was’ they thought. The owner of the shop was even more nervous, his legs were shaking thinking how could a he protect himself against a powerhouse like him, if only he didn’t make those comments yesterday then he could still live to see tomorrow.
A vein popped up on Jims forehead, not at Shina’s commoner but because his son didn’t realize that he wasn’t just a famous adventurer but also one of the 11 lords of this world. Oh well, he knew they were wasting time and relaxed thinking since their identities are already discovered they might as well teleport to Devertown. Turning towards his wife and scratching his head, “If you would Tori, just teleport us straight there.”
Nodding her head she opened a portal up and told them to go inside, after they entered they were instantly transported to the middle of another city.
-Captial of Falir Kingdom, Devertown City-
Smiling at the kids behind her she raised her hands, “Welcome to Devertown City, the capital of Flair Kingdom. At the building over there you will take your entrance exam, hopefully you get a good score and don’t put shame on us.”
Xzavon and Co. all looked at the surrounds, which were even more grander than the last town they were in. The population on the street was at least 50 times more than what they have seen in the last town, everything was wider and the shops were so dazzling. Taking a look at the school building that more looked like a castle they were stunned, jaws dropping thinking this is the school they were going to attend. Little did they know that was only one of the 5 buildings Saint Hail Academy owned, and each one got even better than the last.
