Chapter 33: Teaching "I don't know HOW you managed to talk me into this......" I groaned as Roy drove me to Henesys. Owing to his proficiency at managing jobs, he could earn a lot more money than we could. He had bought the car, a MP9000 Gurand a few days earlier. You could say its luxurious too. MPS (Maple Positioning Satellite) system, DVD player, a mini bar, and even an autopilot system. He had the windows strengthened as well to prevent car theft and upgraded the door locks to a brand new access chip type. Only the chip with the required data could open it. The dashboard was walnut with a digital monitoring system that included a touchpad, voice-recognition and a rear-view camera. The seats seemed to have liquid suspension and the air conditioner blew cool air into the car silently. This car cost a lot more than our house, but Roy was pretty rich. "I wonder what else I can add onto this baby. I think I saw a stealth generator on the upgrade list." Roy glanced at the computer screen on his dashboard. It instantly cut off a portion and showed a list of parts for the car. "Turbo charger...... Oil leaker...haha...Spike shooter?" he pressed a rectangle on the MPS window and an electronic voice said, "Autopilot engaged." Roy began looking further down the list. "Machinegun support!? Hood Bazooka? Whoah! This car could cram in enough weapons to blow up a skyscraper!" he exclaimed. "Focus...... You're supposed to be taking me to work." I sighed as he went crazy over a laser-designator missile cannon. For the occasion, I had cleaned up my Dark Lineros and replaced the original belt with a blue one. Since I shouldn't show the Archaeion in public, Roy bought me a Dark Nisrock. It felt relatively strange in my quiver, I was used to the Archaeion. The reason I'm decked out in all this; I'm going to teach archery at a hunter's school. Roy dropped me off after exclaiming over a mobile fireworks launcher that could be placed in the trunk or on the roof. The school was quite expansive, boasting quite a few archery ranges. 5 wooden buildings sat around the archery ranges, forming an E shape. A few men were at it on a 900m range, and most of them were either missing the target, or failing to hit the bullseye. Their heads turned as I walked past. "Hey Nick, who's that?" someone asked. "No idea." another someone shrugged. "Hi there. Let's see what you can do." one daring guy challenged. "Sure." I said, surprised and stepped up to the range. "Let's see if you can hit that bullseye." the guy smirked. I grabbed my Dark Nisrock from my quiver and muttered, "Soul Arrow." Then, I looked straight at the bullseye and twanged the bowstring. An arrow materialized on the string and streaked out towards the target. "Wow." someone muttered, looking at a screen. The screen showed the target from a few metres away. My arrow had not only hit the bullseye dead centre, it had knocked down the target itself. "Ikki, even a girl beat you at it." a man laughed. "Shut up, you missed too." another shook his fist at him. I left the men to do their bickering and walked off towards where I presumed the staff room to be, in the centre building. "Okay...... You called earlier yesterday right, Miss Artemis?" the secretary raised his glasses. I nodded. "The principal will interview you in a while. Please wait here." he pointed at a sofa and I sat down, shifting uncomfortably at the feeling of a few pairs of eyes staring at my back. I noted the Dragon Shinebow on the wall of the room. "Excuse me, where's Mr. Anderson?" a strangely familiar voice asked and I turned around. "Sevin?" I gasped. "Artemis?" the winged Sevin gasped back. The secretary raised an eyebrow. "Third row, fourth down from the front." he said. "Catch up later, bye for now!" Sevin waved at me as he left the office. "Poor guy. Not much friends here, so he's alone most of the time. The other students seem to think he's a freak with those wings of his." the secretary sighed. "Oh......" I looked at Sevin as he started talking with a middle-aged Ranger. Suddenly, the door beside the secretary's desk burst open, giving him a jump. A Hunteress ran out, crying. "Next!" a bearded man with a Dragon Shinebow in his quiver shouted. "Off you go then. Good luck." the secretary smiled at me as I followed the principal into his office. "19 years old and already a level 108? Interesting." he checked his computer afer I told him my name and age. "Well......" I shifted nervously. "Do you have any teaching experience?" "He let you in just like that!?" Roy gaped. "Apparently he thought I could learn how to teach by observing the other teachers for a few days. Nice guy." I smiled. "You lucky girl..." he sighed. "I kept getting the feeling I was being watched though." I glanced back at the school. "Probably because you're so sexy." he remarked. "I'll take that as a compliment." I grinned. "Really becoming a girl now? Alexis told me." Roy muttered. |
