“Give me the report of the situation.” I jump up from my dream. Dreaming about my team being a well oil machine. I look around, and Iwas back in the nurses' office with only one person beside me. Erica close her book and gives a sigh, “Am I supposed to report to your little brother? Have you lost your mind fighting Elder Jessie." “No, no, no, I was just a dream and woke up saying stuff sorry about that. But where is everyone? I would be expect someone else to be here.” I turn my head, seeing the room empty. I am wondering where Wendy is, I know she would be by my side. It feels lonely without her cheerfulness here. Ericas giggles. “You have fought the strongest member of us to a tie and now everything is in disarray. The Jeonhlyeong is splitting into two different groups, Elder Jessie and yours. You have serious rock the boat. The entire Jeonhlyeong saw the fight. No one knows how it happens, but once the fight stated all the phones, tv, and computers showed the fight in real time. The moment you won there were two big narratives. Elder Jessie the strongest Jeonhlyeong not only tie in a fight but also cheated and attack his students. Alexander, you are only 18 and yet you fought Elder Jessie to a draw. People look through your history and found out that the fairy users killed your parents. Also that Elder Jessie did everything in his power to raise you.” I hold out my hand and ask, “wait a minute. My history is open to everyone?”

Erica stands up and walks away from my bed and opens up a window. A nice cool breeze flows inside of the room. Her hair flow backwards as the wind flew past. The demon looks pretty. She would make males fall over themselves to get to watch this scene. Too bad am immune to her evil charms. She turns her head and sits on top of the window. “Little brother, understand that this was always part of the plan. They would know your history sooner than later. You want to change how things are, but you forget what it will cost you. Let’s not forget I will write a book about your achievements. So settle down and let me finish being your secretary. Ok, where was I, oh yes. People are giving you a lot of trust because fairy users killed your parents. They think the old elders have been complacent, and they might need to be new blood to take over leadership. The wall of fire is scary to many people, and the fairy users were once slaves and are now free. Few people buy that the elders have the situation under control. People are freaking out. But there is a new star on the horizon. Someone able to not only fight the strongest elder to a standstill, but also have powerful backing. Our parents is supporting you and your endeavors. They are running around the country going to different elders and having the pledge loyalty toward you. They are putting a lot of trust in your hands.”

Ugh, I owe them so much. If they keep helping me. I will end up in their debt forever. I was mad at them, but it does seems like a good time to give them a present to show how much I appreciate them. Well, that is a problem for another day. “So, my team is back at home with their families deciding on who they should help?” “Yep” I put my hand on my face. This is tiring. “Heck, you can look around the school. Most of the students are at home. So, at least the world isn’t out to get you.” It doesn’t feel that way. There is so much work that needs to be done and we only have 13 years before the fire disappears. I got up and dresses myself. Things are moving faster than expected. I was hoping the news of the elder tieing with me in a fight would take months to circulate. Instead, it was instant.I didn’t think people would follow me. I wanted them to think the elder system was a flaw and wanting to tear it down. Me bing the hero wasn’t part of the plan but is it better?

I want to change the system, but should I be the head of it? I know people believe in me. Well, there is a devil in the room. Wait, not one devil, but two. I can feel the other one crawling on top of my head. I know Erica doesn’t have to power to show everyone my fight with elder Jessie, but there is a monster on top of my head that could. He wants me to be the head of the Jeonhlyeong. If I didn’t know any better, they are working together. Making me a pawn in their plan. “Nope, your sister can’t see or hear me. Dude, your sister isn’t that important or strong. We have no reason to contact her. You are giving her too much respected and stop making a sound like she a monster. You are way more of a monster than she would ever be.” Ignoring the stupid spider, it is nice to know that she isn’t planning with him. That would be a scary event. I finish putting on my clothes. It is time to find out my team parents and try to convince them they are in good hands. When a stack of papers hit me in the back of the head.

Erica threw them at me when my back wasn’t facing her. “Little brother I think you will need this. Don’t think me for it though. I just save you an hour of meanness work.” I pick up the papers she threw at me. It had a list of my entire team, their homes and parents. Not only that, but she also put them in order of hard to convince to easiest. Well, since she was nice, I know how to replay her. I turn towards her and say, “Thank you older sister.” That put a smile on her face.

I leave the room while looking through the names. As I’m going through the names, one parent stuck out. Wow, this world is a small place. I will deal with this family last. But that would mean it would take longer to see her. Do I want to see her? Why is she on my mind? Do I like Wendy or is it something else? Why is she is the first thing I think of when I get up? She isn’t the pretties girl I know. Erica can be an idol why I think Wendy is below avg. She isn’t even strong or smart. I don't know? I have to ignore these ideas and get to work. I look through papers and found my first target.
