Chapter 34: Reflection Alexis welcomed me back home eagerly. I hung my Dark Nisrock on the wall. "How'd it go?" she asked. "I've been accepted. Starting work after a week of plain observing the other teachers." I smiled. "That long? Oh well, you've never had any experience before anyway." Alexis frowned. Roy drove off to work after dropping me off at home, his car phone had received a job message. I went to take a bath, but my half-naked reflection in the mirror caught me for a minute or so. "Am I really that......" I couldn't bring myself to say the word, I just turned around, noting several points on my body. My abdomen was perfectly flat, hips the size of two basketballs with a single bikini stretched across...... "Maybe Alexis could go for a modelling job. Her body is about the same shape as yours." the Dark Dragon suggested. "I wonder how Jakito is." I murmured abesent-mindedly, removing the rest of my clothes. After a quick shower, I put on a white blouse and a blue skirt that reached my knees. Most of the blouse's front part was taken up by the size of my chest, and part of my stomach was exposed. I combed my hair deftly and walked downstairs. "You two can no longer use my powers since you are no longer wearing the armour. I can, however, use my own if I can find a dead body to settle in." Jakito explained to the four of us. "Dead body?" Lopez shuddered. "Dead bodies lose their souls, so I can settle easily in one without having to force the soul out, which would be killing someone. My magic can revitalize the dead organs." Jakito ignored Lopez. "But where would we find a dead body?" I asked. Lacus was eyeing me. "A graveyard, obviously. But...... I'd feel wrong if we become gravediggers." Alexis stared at the floor. "What did you eat?" Lacus cornered me silently after the little meeting. "Sorry?" I c0cked my head to one side. "How'd you get your body like that?" she sighed. "Ask Mei Ling." I replied. A few hours later, Lacus walked out of Mei Ling's lab smiling. Later that day, Alexis flipped through Maple Times, the local newspaper. "Looking for something?" I asked. "Job." she replied breathlessly. "You can just use a MapleNet search for that." I pointed at my laptop, sitting unused on a desk. "Oh, thanks." she scurried off to it and quickly booted it up. She brought up the MapleNet website and selected the Job section. "None of the jobs here are ones I like." Alexis complained mournfully. "You could try modelling? Jakito thought of it." I suggested. "Maybe..." she said thoughtfully and rechecked the job list. She looked at the phone number and ran off upstairs to call the agency. I wondered if I had received any new email...... 2 months worth of Jubrenan University's E-news sat in my inbox along with a few emails from school friends asking why I was always absent from classes. The dates on those emails appeared to be earlier than the second E-news. I ignored the friends' emails and checked the first E-news. When I saw something, I nearly fell out of my chair. When Alexis and I retook the Jikyeon Sword and the Archaeion, we had left fingerprints behind. I really fell out of my chair when I saw the second one. The fingerprints had been traced...... to us. We were now wanted criminals back in the real world. |
