Advertisement
Later that night…
In a luxurious apartment located in the richest part of Sun City...a beautiful woman gets out of her bed and walks to the restroom...that woman is Johanna Gomez, the nurse of the Sun City International Highschool…
“I’m so hungry...I guess, I should’ve eaten more dinner on that date I had…” Johanna heads to the fridge and grabs something to eat; “Oh well, I guess I’ll have some late night snack…”
“If you eat that, you will get fat…” A voice from behind her stops Johanna from eating her snack. She lowers her food and chuckles; “Haven’t you heard of knocking?”
Johanna turns around and sees three figures. One of them is on her couch, the other sitting in a chair and the other standing in front of her.
The one standing in front of her speaks; “Sorry to interrupt your agent Gomez, but we came here to inform you…” The one standing in front of Johanna has average height.
“Man, this sofa is comfortable...you live in heaven…” The one on her couch says with the voice of a little girl. She is moving around and playing on her couch. The one sitting in the chair stands up, he is taller than average to the point that he almost touches the ceiling of the apartment; “Please mind your manners…Flood”
“Tee...hee...sorry, Drought, I got a little excited....”
“Flood...Drought, please settle down…”
“Right...Typhoon…”
Johanna smiles; “So, what is the famous group of M.I.S.T. doing in my apartment?”
Typhoon, the one that stands in front of her, begins to explain; “We came here to inform you that we will begin our mission in a couple of days...Agent Watson sent you this order…” Typhoon shows Johanna a piece of paper. Johanna reads it and opens her eyes wider, she proceeds to burn the piece of paper.
“Understood…” Johanna burns the paper. “We expect full cooperation, Agent Gomez…”

The agents of M.I.S.T disappeared. Johanna chuckles; “So, their target is Yggdrasil and I was ordered to not interfere...Agent Watson...do you plan to start a war?”

February 24th; Sun City
One week has passed since Alejandro was presented as a candidate to join Yggdrasil...There have been peaceful days in Sun City and in Alejandro’s life…Right now, it is past 10 pm...and Jairo’s cafe is about to close...
“Thank you...come again…” Alejandro waves at the last of the customers. He locks the door and sits in a booth; “Oh man, I’m beat…”
Jairo walks towards him and puts a cup of coffee on the table; “Good job today Alejandro…”
“Thank you…”
Jairo notices that Alejandro is tired; “Say...how has school been? Is it hard to be the President?”
“It’s too tiresome...on the second day, I had a meeting with the Principal and got chewed out because her daughter is too clingy on me...next I had to see the personal and budget of the athletic teams who will be competing on the spring tournament...On the next day, I had a meeting with the art clubs, and discussed about their budgets as well...and after that, I met with the Student council presidents of the other schools…and that was just the first five days of my life as President…”
“Fufufu...you sure have it hard…” Jairo chuckles, Alejandro puts his head on the table; “Tell me about it...and yet, I feel as if the school still hates me...plus, Valerie…”
“What’s wrong with Valerie?”
“She’s been avoiding me all this time, because she saw me on top of Marjorie…I think now, she hates me...”
“You know dear, I don’t think she hates you, I think it’s the opposite…”
“You really think so?”
“Of course, that’s the way my hubbie and I always play around…”
“I see…”
“Maybe, you should try talking to her tomorrow…” Jairo smiles, Alejandro stands up with confidence; “You’re right, I will do my best...and tomorrow, I will speak to her…”

“Excellent…now, how about if he does some training...” Jairo smiles at him. “Not again, Carlos’ methods are extreme and training to control manna with Shion is a pain also…”
“Well, you said you wanted to be strong right?” Alejandro looks at Jairo and asks; “Mr. Jairo, why did you decide to be a member?”
“That’s a tricky question…” Jairo says as he changes his expression.
“Sorry, I think I was too forward…” Jairo chuckles; “It’s okay dear, I’ll tell you...you see, I was one of the people Carlos said was forced to be part of Yggdrasil…”
“Really?”
“You see, my full name is Jairo de la Hoya and my father was in charge of the Economic division of Yggdrasil...he raised me and my brother to be members as well...at the end my brother Alvaro was the one who took the post...he was smarter and more talented…”
“You mean you have a brother?”
“Yes...my family lives in Spain along with my hubbie...I’m sure he is waiting for me with open arms…”
Alejandro chuckles and changes his expression; “At least you have someone waiting for you...my sister doesn’t even want to see me...I haven’t seen her in 5 years…”
“I’m sure that she has her motives and she is working hard...Alejandro, you must be strong and think that people who trust you...I, myself am one of them and Rosa as well…” Jairo puts his hand on his shoulder and smiles.
Alejandro chuckles; “Well...I’m glad...I don’t care what other people say, you are my best friend….and I will become stronger…”
Slowly...and without anyone noticing...a thick mist began to surround the restaurant…
“So...what do you think this Golden Key opens?” Alejandro asks as he looks at his hand. Jairo scratches his cheek; “I don’t know dear...but...it's dangerous to use it...we of Yggdrasil will try to keep you safe so please, don’t use it…”
“I know...I know...but I'm just curious, according to Uriel, there are seven in total right?”
“That I don’t know…” Jairo stands up and says; “Let’s go finish cleaning the kitchen and get ready for the meeting okay?”
“Right...I wonder if other people know about the golden keys…”
“That...young man...is classified information…” Alejandro and Jairo are frozen upon hearing those words. They turn to look at the entrance and see the members of M.I.S.T. Flood is drinking coffee; “Delicious, you have quite the talent…”
The members of M.I.S.T have full black military attires, they all have black robes with hoods and theater style masks that make their identity a secret. Flood has a white mask, Drought has a black mask. Finally, the Typhoon has a mask that is divided into white and black.
“Flood, please mind your manners…” Drought says to Flood. Flood takes out a dollar and puts it on the table; “Keep the change…”
“Mr. Jairo, who are these people?” Alejandro asks in fear. Jairo looks angry; “Stay behind me…” Jairo walks forward; “How may I help you?”
“Jairo de la Hoya...member of Yggdrasil, we the members of M.I.S.T have come to kill you…”
“M.I.S.T?” Alejandro asks, confused. Jairo takes a step back; “It can’t be...Alejandro, you must get away…”
“Flood...do it…” Typhoon, the leader orders Flood to take action. Flood takes a step forward and charges mana in her hands; “Okay...time to begin our mission.” The mana forms into an orb, Flood releases it slowly to the restaurant.
“What is…” Jairo quickly grabs Alejandro. The mana sphere expands creating a great explosion.
(BBBOOOOOOMMMM)
Soon Jairo’s restaurant suffered a large explosion. Destroying everything inside.

A few hours of brooding later I decide to go to sleep. When I wake up I am in a forest in a different world. Hi this is my first story so please dont expect much. Disclaimer - I say hermit in that he lives in a cave in a giant forest with his wife and and master with occasional visits from his parents or other creatures. I do not use hermit in a religious sense or in that he lives entirely alone. The first few chapters are worse than some later chapters. If you can get through to chapter 24 you will find that the quality increases. I will do a rewrite eventually so look forward to that . . . . . if you want.
