《Shadow’s World》Chapter 5 annoying people
Advertisement
The shadow disappears into the shadows of my room. Man that dude talk for a while, well it doesn’t matter. I look at the clock and it says it is 6:30. He has wasted 30 minutes of my time. I put my chair back underneath my desk and walked to the training room. While walking I meet a dumb elder and as he walks past, I rolled my eyes. The little gray hair white troll turns around and hit me with a blast of wind. Crash! I hit the wall hard, weak old man he didn’t even break a bone this time. “One day you will learn respect boy. Do you think elder Kyle will keep protecting you? You are wrong someday soon I will become the head of the Jeonglyeong and then you respect me then. Also, I have a little surprise waiting for you this afternoon. Ha Ha Ha.”
He turns around and walks away still laughing. I hope he changes the way teams organized because of the way they structured now. they will leave me with that annoying black girl. She might be the second strongest in our age group behind me but I do not want to work with that crazy chick.
I bush myself off and continue to walk to the training area. I get to the football field and look at the time; I have only 10 minutes left before I have to be at the assembly. So instead of my usual 20 km and 1000 pushups and 1000 sit-ups, I can only do a 5 km run and 250 pushups and 250 sit-ups. I put on 450 kg of weight and run. Running by myself feels so refreshing. Every day I train is another day I feel getting closer to my revenge. After my run, I put the weights on my back and do pushups. Only doing 250 pushups time seems to go by so fast, after doing my sit-ups I had the same feeling. Finishing my easy workout, I get ready for the assembly. After taking a quick shower and getting dressed up, I walk toward the gym. Almost at the gym, I meet my worst enemy. Erica is taking her sweet time walking toward the gym. As of we both will be late, why is she walking like it doesn’t matter? I walk past her hoping she wouldn’t talk. “Hi little brother, I cannot wait to be on your team.” “Noooo! Anything but that, the odds are you will have your own group with you as the leader. Do not jinx me, women, for the love of all that is holy please do not be on my team!” I cannot stand here calling me a little brother all because she was born a few days before me. “We will be on the same team like it or not. I have something I want to do, and the only way to get it done is to be on your team. Do not worry you wouldn’t even know that I am there.” She then skips along to the gym. Was she waiting for me? I hope she didn’t talk to elder Kyle and convince him to let her on my team. The crazy troll elder wanted me to feel despair and I doubt he knows that I hate her. The odds are he will give me a team full of rejects and I will have nothing to worry about. Man, I should have been paying attention to her connection with elder Kyle.

I find a seat near the stage so I can easily access it because I know that I will be the first one called up. It takes a while for everyone to settle down and the five elders move to the middle of the stage and pick up a microphone. “Hello everyone today is the beginning of the rest of your lives. Today is the day I will select you to a team or better yet a family. We still have fairy users running around and they are formidable opponents. Teamwork is a huge reason we can beat the fairy users. A team of ten can beat one person they don’t deserve a fair fight. Alex please come up here and wait for us to call out your team.” I walk up to the elders and stand behind them.
Standing in front of everyone, I was sweating a lake. This will not be your only time standing in front of a crowd, so calm down and relax. “We have changed the way the system works. In the past, we have given the best person the best team but this time we have decided that since the number 2 and 3 are way better than they used to be, also we have Alexander who is by far our best student ever. We will give Alexander the rejects, no need to be subtle.” Yes, no way does that evil girl make it on my team now. She is most likely the second best person, so she will have her hands full with those morons. Everyone is weak beside us; It just depends on will my team listen. I hope the rejects have no bad habits and are easy to deal with. “Here is the list of people is on Alexander’s team, Wendy, Sasuke, Michael, Jake, Isabella, Jacquelyn, Roland, Perry, and Eddy. Please, everyone on this list stands up and walk up to the stage.” Yes, Erica isn’t on that list. Ten people got up from their seats and walked to the stage and stood behind me. Well, this is my team. I might work with these guys. After my team stood behind me, Erica stood up my heart stop. “I demand to be on Alex’s team. Jake cannot work with Alex because those two are at odds with each other. And I refuse to be a leader and you guys cannot make me.” “Nooooooo!”

Everyone turns towards me. “No, she would make a great leader. Do not let her waste her time on my team. We need to think of the bigger picture.” “I am the second strongest nothing anyone can say can force me to change my mind. So how are we going to do this? Alex am I on your team or not?” I sigh and say, “Yes, elders if she wants to be on my team, she can be. I hate Jake and Erica would help my team immensely.” The elders look at each other and have a little discussion. They turn around and look at Erica and say, “We have changed the teams. Erica, you are now on Alexander’s team. We now need to take a break and fix the teams. Alex gets to know your team. I dismiss you guys.” Jake shrinks his shoulders and walks off the stage and he sits back down. I had to take a few seconds because I let Erica on my team. Why brain why didn’t you stop this from happening. I look up and Erica was leading my team toward the stadium, and everyone in the gym was staring at me. Well, this is awkward. I hurry after them. Why did they leave me behind? Stop following Erica. I am the leader! I got to the stadium a few seconds after them and find them saluting while Erica is sitting in a chair reading a book. Um, it looks like she got them ready for me. Wow, is Erica up to something or does she really believe me, so time to get these people ready.

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements.
