Chapter 16: Mission…

 

After eating the sandwich, we would move back to my room where I would stare blankly at the boys. Particularly onto James, the kid with the black haired kid with the glasses. For a couple of moments he would glance back at me before suddenly shifting his eyes off from me. He seemed to be startled by my gaze or perhaps, he has some deep rooted anxiety of sorts.

 

"James, right?" He glanced back at me after I called his name. "I-is there something that you need me to do boss?" He asked as a light blush came over his face. "I need you to show your skills now." He nodded and he walked off to the side of my desk and grabbed a book. A slight smile appeared on his face.

 

"The hero was a man of white and clear skin who had his eyes set. His passion of life was to slay the demons of the world and restore order to the world and he would come to do so over the course of several years…" James glanced at me as he finished reading up the paragraph. "I hope this is a good enough show of my abilities." He said as he shyly nodded down.

 

"It's good." He nodded his head up towards me and met my azure eyes. "You did a good job reading the book. Also what book did you read? Just wondering because that book seems interesting and would seem like a good read." I said as I glanced over his shoulder. "The title is "A hero's revenge."

 

I nodded. 'Revenge… I wonder what happened to that hobby that killed me.' I pondered as my eyebrows slanted. "Why do I feel like the boss and James are flirting?" Eric whispered into the ear of Thomas. 

 

"We are not flirting!" I said as I walked up to him and flicked him on the head. "Sorry boss." Eric appologized as he nodded his head down towards me. "Also boss, weren't you going to give us a mission?" Thomas said as he glanced at me andall the boys stared at me right after he said that.

"James will be researching local politics, Eric will be setting up a food stand to collect info, to gain the trust of the people and to get money, while Thomas will be training the sword some more." The boys nodded. "Wait. My family already has a food stand." Eric spoke up and paused. "Though I usually tend to help out on the weekends because that's when I don't have school." I nodded.

 

"I see. Well then how about expanding the business a bit. For example buying up some new stands, hiring new employees, experimenting with recipes and the sort." His eyes lit up. "You're a genius!" He said as he held onto my shoulder and began shaking me around. It was like I was a cat being bullied by a toddler.

 

"It's not much really." I said as he immediately stopped tugging on my shirt. "No! That was absolutely genius and was the smartest thing that I've heard!" He said as his eyes lit up with a burning passion. The passion to gain some more money. I chuckled slightly before turning away.

 

"Whatever you say…" 'Seems like watching The Apprentice really helped me out. Hopefully I won't have to say "You're fired" to anyone here.' I thought as I stared at the boys. "Also, what do you mean by suggesting that I should train my sword skills some more? Are you suggesting that I am a newbie with crappy style?" 

 

I stared blankly at him. 'Wait he knows how to swear!?' "No. No. What I am saying is that our secret organization or well rather the others will need a bodyguard to protect after all we are going to be shaking the local market here." "I see…"
