Capítulo 211: Helping Jennifer
"Ohh look like it's time for class," he smiled, "It's really great that you're fitting in." He added.
"Can I drop by later?" I hesitantly asked.
"Sure, of course, you can bring your party if you want, you know my room is always open for you guys." He smiled.
"Can you help me strategies a way to beat Calista?" I questioned feeling hopeful.
"Most defiantly, If she chooses to use her Storm Giant's blessing you'll be in trouble but if she doesn't it should be a fair fight." He smiled.
"Great! I'll see you at the end of the day then!" I smiled extremely happy.#
"I'll see you later." He smiled bidding me farewell.
"And sorry for the Travis stuff," I yelled dot him.
"Don't worry about it." He smiled back and walked off.
Walking into class I took my usual seat waiting for the others to arrive, "Hey Emilia." They all smiled arriving with all the other students taking a seat with me.
"Did you see him?" Daisy questioned eagerly.
"Yeah, is he okay?" Helen asked taking a seat.
"Yeah, he's doing great, just letting off some steam." I smiled.
"Who would dare piss him off? the way he effortlessly destroyed everything was scary." Jay questioned taking a seat.
"It was nothing special." I smiled and listened intently as class started.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So what any plans for this evening?" Grace asked during dinner.
"I'm gonna go and visit Paul, discuss a few things with him," I answered.
"Ohh can I come?" Daisy asked eagerly.
"Sure of course you can." I smiled.
"Can I as well? I'd hope to talk to him about the Jennifer issue." Jay questioned.
"Can I?" Morgana asked politely.
"Don't see why not." I smiled.
"He doesn't find us... a nuisance does he?" Helen hesitantly questioned.
"No, No he's not like that," I answered her.
Yes, Paul is great, he loves meeting people!" Daisy smiled.
"Are you sure, he doesn't seem to come out in public often," Grace replied sounding unconvinced.
"Yeah, he dislikes it when people treat him special, he prefers it if you just be yourself and treat him like a normal person like you and me." I smiled.
"Well I'm pretty much done when you guys are ready," Jay said clearing his plate, causing Daisy to turn into overdrive and quickly scoff down whatever food she had left along with a few extras, making me look at her wondering how much exercise must she do to stay in shape...
"I must say this food does taste infinitely better than the food from swamps," Morganna said still politely eating her food.
"What sort of food did you have back in the swamps?" Helen questioned curiously.
"Hm, alligator, insects, trolls, swamp roots there was quite a wide variety but wasn't very nice, I only ate to survive." She answered.
"Well... I think I'm done for tonight." Grace replied leaving her plate half full.
"You guys are lucky you had food, growing up I barely had enough we were all live feeding off scraps," Daisy said still munching down more food since we all haven't finished yet.
"Shall we head out?" I suggested smiling putting down my knife and fork.
"Let's go," Jay said standing up giving Daisy a nudge to do so.
"Okay, okay let's go!" Daisy said filled with excitement.
"You're always so excited." I chuckled.
"Of course! You'd guys would understand if you met your hero." She smiled leading the way quickly to Paul's room.
"She's not wrong, we are meeting two great hero's regularly, and being trained by one of them on a daily basis." Helen smiled.
"Yeah, we are pretty fortunate that they both are so open if they were Elves, they wouldn't even look at us," Grace answered.
"Really?... I'm sure there are some decent elves." I questioned.
"Some but more often than not they are stuck up and arrogant wouldn't give us 'ordinary people' the light of day," Grace answered.
"I'm sure it's not as bad as you describe it, you both are great." I smiled as we made our way to Paul's room.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ascending the stairs every fibre of my being prayed to God that Travis wouldn't be there to greet me, "You okay Emilia?" Daisy asked quickly following up behind me
"Nothing, nothing." I pretended walking up normally since the coast was clear. Knocking on Pauls door waiting for a reply. "Paul it's us," I shouted through the door to him,
"Ohh come in! It''s unlocked." Paul's voice called out from the other side.
Opening the door we were greeted with Paul and his group eating dinner around his table, "Hey!" They all greeted us with smiles as they ate food together sharing from several large dishes together in the centre like a family.
"You guy's eaten?" Paul said issuing us to come over.
"Yeah, we just finished and came over." Daisy smiled taking a seat with them looking at the food.
"Still hungry?" He chuckled noticing her interest in the food.
"A little." She answered him.
"Alright, I'll get a bowl," he chuckled walking into the kitchen. "The rest of you hungry?" Paul questioned as he opened the door.
"We're okay. Thanks." We answered him.
"No problems." He smiled and walked into the kitchen.
"Hey, sis!" Scarlet greeted me somehow still inhaling her food simultaneously.
"Who cooked all this?" I questioned taking a seat.
"Paul did of course," Ashely answered.
"How does he find the time?" I questioned in shock at the sheer amount of food.
"He says it's a lot easier now he can use magic to help him cook," Ashley answered.
"Ohh, Anna! Thank's for the save against the Demon." Helen smiled to Anna who looked very regal seated with her back straight with a folded napkin on her lap, eating tiny mouthfuls and never overfilling her plate, looking very prim and proper.
"It was nothing." She smiled making sure to swallow her food before replying to Helen.
"Here you go Daisy," Paul arrived back with a bowl and filling it with rice, handing her a spoon and chopsticks along with the bowl of rice.
"Thank you." She smiled politely accepting the bowl and taking a seat before jumping into action scoffing down food.
"So Paul, if you don't mind me asking what were those spell's you used earlier?" Jay questioned.
"That's a good question, some of them were spells, some of them were weapons I had accrued over time." He smiled.
"Do you all have legendary weapons and equipment?" Jay questioned curiously.
"Not all, Ashley isn't equipped with anything legendary or artifacts in nature, but every invention he uses or has equipped is unique and his own invention. Scarlet as you may already know to equip with Platinum Dragon Scale armour as well as a runic sword forged in Dragon's Flame, and a wooden smaller katana for non-lethal situations. Anna has a very deadly arsenal, Cursed blade named Muramasa, Last Word a set of Daggers that let her teleport to them at will, along with several concoctions and other things that aid her in disabling an enemy or enemies." Paul answered him.
Anna finishing her meal used the napkin to politely clean her mouth and stood up taking the empty dishes and bowls to the kitchen. "Right, Daisy and Scarlet finish everything off, I think everyone else is done." Paul smiled and began helping clean up.
"So does Anna use any spell casting?" Grace questioned.
"Sadly her spell casting capabilities are very limited," Paul answered coming back after clearing the table and collecting the remaining dishes and bowls once Daisy and Scarlet were finished with them.
"That is true, I can only cast up to forth levels spells and even then the amount I can cast is very limited," Anna said taking a seat still maintaining a very straight and correct posture.
With a wave of his hand, Paul magically cleared the table of any stains or scruffs making it look pristine almost new. "Mr Paul," I was hoping to ask you something if you wouldn't mind," Jay requested the moment he took a seat and relaxed a little.
"Yes, Jay what can I do for you?" he smiled.
"I was wondering if I could hear from you personally, the options you offered to help Jennifer," Jay questioned.
"Ah yes, so I believe I offered to be her mentor personally, or have her move to a city far away so she can carry on practising magic without fear of being caught by her family or parents," Paul answered.
"What do you think is best for her?" Jay questioned.
"Personally option two would be best, me mentoring her personally won't improve her situation and between you and me, I'm not a great teacher," Paul answered.
"So what does it mean if she goes away?" he asked.
"Well, to be honest, it will be up to her if she wants to leave her family and old life behind, but it is very far away you will probably not be able to see her, the travel alone takes a week or so by airship or sea. I would make her a permanent citizen in the middle district, it's a decent cushy life, good neighbourhood and decent size apartment. I also have connections whereby she can find someone to mentor her, obviously no one as renowned or as strong as Master Dildamzed." Paul answered him.
"Will she be safe?" He asked Paul sounding extremely serious.
"Well like all cities there is a level of crime or other threats, but no more in danger than being in a large well-guarded city, of course from what I've heard she's also capable, she'll be given a nice place to live and stay, work and friends are up to her, to be honest," Paul answered.
"How much do you charge to keep a close eye on her to keep her safe?" He asked Paul.
"Well, my services are extremely expensive no ordinary person can keep up with my prices, but she will be a citizen of a city that I'm a council member in, so I can easily keep an eye on her just it's an invasion of privacy," Paul answered.
"I just don't want anything to happen to her especially now she will be extremely far away," Jay explained.
"Don't worry, I'll have city guards keep an eye out for her when it comes to spying on her that is where I'll need to draw the line. If you'd like I'd I'll set up a meet between you two to talk and hash things out. I'll give you her address when she settles in if you want to send letters to each other." Paul answered.
"If there's an emergency she'll be safe?" Jay questioned.
"The city is very well guarded, both city guards and adventuring groups protect the city and call it home, rest assured she will be very safe. If you'd like I'll give her an emergency beacon, similar to the trip bands when you guys go off sight, if that is triggered I'll respond to her distress personally." Paul answered.
"If you could do that I'll be eternally grateful," Jay replied to Paul.
"Well, it all depends if she decides to want to go through with it if she doesn't then my hands are tied," Paul answered.
"May I come with you when you contact her?" He requested.
"Of course, but from what I understand this is going against her family so we'd need to go during the night," Paul answered.
"That's fine with me." He replied.
"Great, we'll go tomorrow, since I'm not required to do attend a council meeting for two more days." He answered.
"Thank you for this." He nodded respectfully.
"No problems, I'm here to help." Paul smiled like it wasn't an issue at all.
"Um, Mr Paul?" Helen hesitantly asked.
"Yes, Helen?" Paul smiled back trying to make her feel more comfortable.
"Is there no way of having her enrolled into Atlantis?" she questioned feeling a little guilty.
"Oh, like what I did with Morgana?" He questioned curiously.
"Yeah...." Helen replied quietly.
"Unfortunately, I spoke to Ashley he said we can't enrol any more students secretly without pulling the attention from Xoria's ruling body," Paul informed her sounding a little sad.
"You can't just enrol whoever you wanted?" Grace asked a little shocked.
"Well there's a process which is all very illegal, so we only do it for emergency situations and currently we're being investigated for Morgana, but we've hidden our tracks well so nothing will happen." Paul smiled making Helen feel a little better. "That's why all enrolling is done when you guys arrive, that is when and only when all the school can accept new candidates," Paul explained.
