Chapter 73: Tina and Saga
"You finally woke up."
The moment Jim opened his eyes again he heard this familiar voice just next to him. He opened his eyes and saw Ashley on his right, and Jenny on his left; both naked and hardly covered with sheets snoring beside him.
"What… happened?"
He moved his eyes to spot his talker. "Rili? Wait outside man, this is private!" he waved his hands towards Rili who just laughed as he said, "This isn't even your room and you are acting like it was."
"Then wait at my room," Jim hurried to stand and wear his own clothes then went outside.
"How did I end up here?" This was the question he had in mind at the moment.
'You were having much fun yesterday,' the old man suddenly said while laughing.
'Ye- yesterday? Did you just say I spend an entire day sleeping?!!'
'A day and half to be exact,' the old man corrected, 'you were acting strangely in the first half day after returning from outside. You have no recollection of this period at all?'
'Frankly… nothing!'
Jim was hit with a blank page in his mind where he couldn't recall anything about what happened during the past day and half. 'Wasn't this Ashley's room?' he asked when he reached his room.
"You really have a temper after waking up," Rili met him when he opened the door with a laugh.
"Don't start…" Jim pointed to stop him, "I have a strong headache right now so spare me any comment for now."
"Never thought you would hurry to use such a strong spell right away," Rili sighed, "I should have warned you before handing you the tokens."
"It's a bit late my friend," Jim moved to his seat while throwing off his body over it. "I feel like my entire body was pricked by needles during the past days."
Jim squeezed his temples while trying to clear his mind from this headache.
"I came to check upon you and learnt about what happened the other day. It's a common rule of thumb in the academy that using any higher spell will have a detrimental effect on your body."
"If I can't use it, then why the hell do I have it in the first place?"
"You should first try to strengthen your bodies to handle the aftereffects of these spells," Rili sighed, "you should focus on increasing your energy and make your body stronger to endure the usage of the spell. It's a blessing you didn't end up in a much worse case despite your weak physique."
"I'm not the weak you think I'm," Jim argued.
"Yeah, but not strong enough… at least for the two spells I gave to you before," Rili shook his head before adding, "anyway, I came here now to deliver you a message."
"About the two sellers?" Jim asked while shaking his head, "I'm not in the mood to deal with them right now."
"Not them, it's the lady."
"Sandy?" Jim instantly got his mind cleared as he hurriedly asked, "what about her?"
"She says the task you asked her about is done."
"The Twisex race?" Jim hurried to stand before asking, "where are they?"
"Hold on just a moment," Rili laughed, "The race is very hard to have, and despite her power and authority she only managed to obtain two, one from each family."
Jim had some disappointment for a moment before he nodded, "two is just my lucky number. I only need two and not more," he then turned to Rili as he asked, "where are they right now?"
"She is about to send them over, but I think you need to handle another problem."
"What problem?" Jim didn't understand his meaning.
"The two… you just need to know that they are slightly famous."
"Famous?" Jim muttered before asking, "to what degree are they famous exactly?"
"To be considered a celebrity."
"Damn!"
Jim shook his head before saying, "we need to prepare a proper guard for them," he said before turning at the door towards Rili, "I'll entrust you with all the things the two will need to make my customs and slogans, alright?"
"Leave it to me," Rili said with a laugh.
The first thing Jim did was to knock over each door of the rooms next to him. Deno, Rick, and Lan all appeared from the rooms where they looked excited to see him standing on his feet again.
"No time to check on me," he bitterly laughed in response to the rain of questions they had about his health. "Just go and bring everyone. We have a guarding mission to do now."
"Guard?" Rick said in doubt, "guard whom exactly?"
"The Tiwsex race is coming," Jim said in a wide smile that turned into a wide laughter when he saw the three spraying over all the doors of the rooms here as they started to gather up everyone in such enthusiasm.
"These guys…" Jim had to shake off his head while standing in the lobby while being surrounded by everyone on his team. "I bet if I tried to stir you up in a fight I won't be able to make you feel that way."
They were standing there in full numbers, and on their faces deep remarks of excitement and even some were nervous.
"Boss, you said there are two Tiwsex coming, right?" one of the newly joined Bulltors asked in strange excitement which made Jim laugh.
"Of course, do you think our boss is weak or something?" Rick hurried to say while he laughed, "I wonder, which one of the fourteen out there did you manage to bring."
"Fourteen?" Jim asked as he didn't know even the number of the Twisex race was known to people in the town and outside.
"Yes, boss they are famous, all of them are," Kro was the one to speak this time while Roo added, "you can't imagine how famous they are. It's a blessing to be able to get the help of two of them. That's really amazing!"
'Damn! What will you boys do when you know they are going to stay with us forever?' Jim inwardly sneered while remaining silent as he waited with the team inside the Lobby.
The next moment a loud ruckus appeared coming from far. Jim glanced over the direction to see a large group of people moving towards the hotel and shouts and screams of them were so loud to reach the inside the hotel.
"We are terribly sorry for that."
Jim sat inside a big suit where two stunning beauties in their twentieth stood with strange confidence and calm in front of him.
He moved his vision to check over his wounded men. Half of his team were beaten up just to get the two out of their crazy audience.
"Our fans… they are just always crazy," the other girl said with a sweet laugh while she moved his body slowly right and left.
The two were stunningly beautiful, where one was slightly shorter than the other but both weren't that short from Jim. One was pure white and the other was slightly dark, but both had long sparkling blue hair and blue eyes.
"I understand," Jim sighed while the most amazing thing was that his men weren't that depressed by what happened; they were so much excited instead.
He even had to give them the order to stay off the two girls and keep themselves off limits or else he would personally interfere to stop them.
And these words coming from a human like him to stronger beings including Bulltors made the two girls eye Jim in different light.
"Please sit," Jim said while leaning back on his seat while the two girls sat side to side on the sofa, putting one leg over the other. "What's your name? What do you normally do for a living?"
"She is Tina and the other is Saga… damn boss you really got your hands over the twin pearls!" Rick instantly jumped to answer while his words made the two girls chuckle as they raised their hands over their opened mouths while Jim only shook his head helplessly.
"I swear if any of you spoke or moved right now I will handle him myself!" Jim shouted while glaring at the others with fiery eyes.
He didn't want to hear anything except from the girls themselves. They weren't here to help, they were to follow!
"Oh, you seem to be really their boss," the white girl chuckled before adding, "my name is Tina, it's a pleasure to meet the master. I work usually as a dancer, dancing over the bright and golden cords of my beloved Saga."
She pointed to the other girl who just giggled as she said, "I'm Saga, and I can dance as well but my speciality is to sing. It's an honor to meet my new master."
"M-…" Roo was just about to say something when Jim glared at him. He swallowed the rest of his words while everyone had their eyes popped up their heads.
"I'm happy to have you," Jim calmly said before adding, "I just wanted someone to make me a uniform and a slogan for my pantheon in the academy and so I had to find you."
"This…" the two girls said in unison while they exchanged silent glances together, "sorry master but our families only know how to make an obsolete uniform and slogan for a long lost pantheon," Tina said.
"I doubt we can help, sorry," Saga sighed while shaking off her head.
"Who said so?" Jim cracked a wide smile before pointing to himself as he added, "sorry I didn't properly introduce myself to you. My name is Jim, and I'm a privileged first year inner disciple of the academy under the fairy pantheon."
This time the two girls had their eyes widened while gasping from shock.
"What?!!!" they both exclaimed in extreme shock while Jim laughed.
