Jim's words didn't appeal to any of the masters here except for Igory. The latter was the only one supporting such action.
"You've got us," Rana said in a try to persuade him, "we can't let maniacs be among us. They are a sadistic brutal race that knows nothing but blood."
Jim glanced at her but Mark didn't give him any chance to say anything.
"Let's go," Mark said, "Hector is coming with us."
"?" Hector seed to be surprised, "to where?"
"Anywhere but here," Mark seed to be out of patience.
But Jim had another opinion about it.
"Sorry master," Jim suddenly took a step to the side. This simple step made him just next to Hector. "I didn't want this to reach such a ss," he apologized before putting his hand over Hector.
"Don't tell him anything," Mark moved slowly while saying that to Hector. "Let him go, he is far stronger and we are far more nurous than you."
"Sorry master," Jim only said before a dal appeared in his other hand.
"Stop him!" Mark shouted and the next mont all the masters stood by the wall they knew Jim would need to pass through to access the secret room.
But... They were mistaken.
"Woosh!"
The next mont Jim and Hector vanished from the mansion like they never existed there in the first place.
"What the hell...?!!" Mark was shocked as much as the others.
"Told you," Igory smirked, "that room wasn't that simple at all."
"That's not the ti for that Igory," Rana shouted at him before turning around, "how can we get access to it? Anyone... speak now!"
She yelled at Jim's team but as everyone here knew, no one could let them in that room except for Jim.
"I like what you did at the place here."
The mont Jim moved Hector with him inside his secret room, Hector was alard and stared in doubt towards him before taking a glimpse around.
And he found the old room wasn't there anymore. A Brand new one with vast space and thick walls was there.
"I had my free ti," Jim said.
"And you just needed to keep yourself busy and not rest, quite admirable actually," Hector started to walk around. "What you did back there was... weird to be honest."
"I knew they wouldn't let have the warriors," Jim said, "I hated wasting my ti or for anyone to force to do anything."
"As much as I hate this buddy, but you had so serious sh*t when you co back. Do you even realize that?"
"I know the risks," Jim stood in front of Hector, "and now I want the way to summon the warriors."
"Are you sure?" Hector didn't answer him right away and instead he kept looking deeply at him.
"You bet I am," Jim crossed his arms before adding, "y'know this is going to play for both of our interests, right?"
"How so? Enlighten then," Hector tried to stall for ti, and Jim knew that and didn't mind it.
After all he was pretty sure no one would ever be able to set foot here without his permission.
"The dean won't co after alone," Jim slowly said, "he will target anyone who can help . Masters, disciples, even slaves... everyone will be in the reach of his hand if we don't have a deterrent for him."
"The warriors? So that's why you were acting so stubbornly back there," Hector shook his head, "y'know the dean lived too long, much longer than you can even imagine."
"What do you an by that?" Jim didn't get the point of this sudden remark.
"It's just... Soone like him didn't live so long and reach such a stage without getting his hands dirty."
"Makes sense," Jim nodded in agreent.
"And that ans that mad dragon already has his own killing squad."
"And I'll get mine," Jim shrugged despite feeling a little weird about how this conversation was heading.
"With only a handful of warriors? You gotta be kidding !"
"A few is much better than none, right?"
"But..."
Jim didn't give him a chance to argue as he already got what he was thinking about. "Just give it to man, at least you owe this."
Hector was about to say sothing but he stopped. He knew what Jim was inclined at just now. "Saving my life is considered nothing at all if you lost control over those maniacs," Hector had to say and Jim had to nod in understanding.
"I won't," Jim promised, "just tell what to do."
Hector seed a bit hesitant before he finally spoke up. "First you'll need to draw a circle of your blood. I'll write down the letters for you."
He glanced around and the next thing appeared was a black board and white pen. "Use these to write the letters," Jim handed the pen to him while saying that.
Hector gave him a deep glance before starting to draw weird letters in between two circles. The circles had five long lines.
"You can summon five warriors only with that," Hector said, "this is the most of your current abilities."
Jim understood what he ant. "Do you an if I was in a higher grade I would have summoned more?"
"I told you, the number of warriors won't be enough."
'Don't listen to him,' the old man suddenly said, 'you can summon as many as you can.'
Jim was surprised to hear both conflicting opinions. 'What is the catch here?' he asked his old man while watching Hector drawing the letters.
'It's a correct thing for you to summon only five warriors based on your current power,' the old man said, 'but who said you can't draw more circles to summon more?'
The eyes of Jim silently flashed with golden light before he smirked. 'So the trick here is about the number of circles used, right?'
'That's the unseen trick here,' the old man said.
'Won't I lose control over them?' Jim was concerned about this fear all of the masters and even Hector expressed.
'No, don't worry about that,' the old man suddenly laughed, 'I'll teach you sothing to edit that primitive circle. That way those warriors won't be any different that your servants.'
'Sounds good to .'
'It's real, since when did I mislead you?'
Jim only smiled while watching Hector doing his part.
"It's ready," Hector moved back from the board, "this will do fine."
"Thanks," Jim suddenly touched him and the next mont he was gone.
Hector appeared in the palace again and this ti his appearance brought more chaos to the place.
The number of the masters standing here has multiplied since the last ti Hector and Jim were in this place.
"Where did he take you?" Mark instantly shouted as he jumped on him, "what have you done?"
"Y'know where I was," Hector fell on the ground while Mark was over him. He wasn't afraid or angry, instead he had this annoying smile on his face.
"You gave him the summoning array, didn't you?" Rana asked and Hector only nodded.
"He can't be stopped," Igory pushed Mark to the side before helping Hector stand, "and his argunt can't be argued with."
"He is deluded!" Mark was extrely angry at the mont, "his insecurity and lack of trust would bring down upon all of us!"
"Who can bla him?" Hector slowly said while touching his neck, "he saw things that made him the man he is now."
"Cause and effect baby," Igory seed the only one enjoying his ti here.
"That's not an excuse," Mark pointed at Igory in warning, "and when he cos out we will need to force him to ditch those warriors before they get out of control."
"I doubt you can do it," Hector said in a firm tone, "I doubt anyone here can persuade him."
"Why is that, genius?" Mark was already on the edge and his tone told everyone how desperate and mad he was.
"You weren't there," Hector took his breath before adding, "he renovated the entire room. I dunno how he can do it, but I bet with everything that he would detain them inside."
The masters exchanged glances with each other while Igory's laugh rang in the entire place. Jim's team stood in a corner without a clue about what they should do.
"He is such a smart kid," Igory said amidst his laughs, "he knew he couldn't control them out here, but there he could control anything."
"He had to bring them outside if things went wrong," Mark wasn't convinced like Igory, "and at that mont they would turn on him and on everyone else."
"Well, not a bad argunt in my eyes," Igory sneered and that made Mark more furious at him.
"Is everything a ga for you?" Mark shouted angrily, "can't you see the bigger picture instead of your own benefit?"
"I once was like you," Igory said with a faint smile, "but all I got was betrayal and loss. I can't tell if you'll face the sa fate as or not, but I advise you to let go of all the rules you know and stick to this kid."
"Help him in bringing such a disaster to our academy?" Rana said with doubt, "let him destroy it?"
"In my opinion, this damned place should have been destroyed a long ti ago!"
"You are hopeless," Rana shook her in disappointnt while Mark only looked away.
"At least I'm not betraying my disciple out of fear," Igory said and his words silenced everyone.
He got his share of hatred eyes and angry looks from everyone around, but he didn't care. "That kid is the only link we got since a long, long ti ago with fairies. We can't let him down, or succumb to those... you know what I'm talking about."
"Hearing you like this would make doubt you are one of them," Mark said with a sneer.
"If joining them had a silver lining in smashing this damned place then I wouldn't be here," Igory slowly said.
"But standing with such a maniac act from an ignorant frightened kid is the right thing to do, right?" Mark sneered again.
"Right, at least he got the right to claim this f*cking place back under fairies control!" Igory's shout silenced everyone again, but he couldn't stop the hating eyes or the angry looks on everyone's faces.
And he frankly didn't care. As they were acting out of conviction, he was also doing the sa. In fact his conviction was much more deeply rooted than anyone standing around, even including Hector or any part of Jim's team.
"Do it kiddo," Igory softly murmured, "let's bring chaos and change over this cursed place together."
