I’m The supreme Fairy King - Chapter 262: Changing The Mindset Of The Team

Hector gave him a deep glance before smiling in content. “That’s my boy, however… we can’t do such a thing here,” he turned around before whispering, “we have many eyes and ears looming around us.”

“Then…” Jim paused before realizing what Hector wanted to say, “the secret room, right?”

“The best place in the entire academy,” Hector said, “besides we have one day left before your chance is gone. So you can have some rest or… some fun,” he winked while glancing at the four girls in Jim’s team.

“Sure, why not,” Jim smiled before adding, “alright, let’s meet at noon.”

“Good hour,” Hector patted him on the shoulder before leaving with his team.

“Will we… are you the boss?” Rick was still opposing such a thing.

“Having one more card isn’t foolishness, Rick,” Jim slowly said.

“But… those warriors are lunatics,” Kro tried to persuade him, “we can’t let them come here. They are total freaks, only interested in wars and fights.”

Jim glanced around while walking in the middle of this peaceful night. “I believe we will have many wars ahead of us,” he said, “so no harm in being prepared, right?”

“…”

The others didn’t speak as they realized he already had his mind fixed on summoning them.

As for Jim, he didn’t do that willingly or on his own decision, but the old man also helped.

‘Don’t listen to them,’ the old man said, ‘they are just afraid of the ancient tales of the warriors.’

‘So they aren’t that bad, right?’ Jim asked despite knowing the answer.

‘They are,’ the old man said, ‘they can be bad and mean, but they are trustworthy and dependable.’

‘In times like these, what would a man desire other than this?’ Jim sneered as he wasn’t totally supporting bringing those lunatics as his team members called.

‘As you just said to the guys, being prepared isn’t wrong.’

‘But where can I hide them?’ Jim slowly asked before he realized the answer to that. ‘Oh, you and Hector are thinking alike.’

‘It’s just the safest place in the entire academy for you… for now,’ the old man said, ‘so it’s not a problem to summon them there.’

‘What about… other masters?’ Jim asked, ‘won’t they see them as well?’

‘They won’t,’ the old man said, ‘after all you’ll create a special room that no one else can enter but you.’

‘Oh… I see,’ Jim evilly smiled before he reached his house at last.

The mansion he lived in before was now a war fortress. Just coming at it from far was enough to see all the high walls and the watching towers.

“Igory surely took his time playing here while I was gone,” he said it out loud while the other team members were having some difficulty believing their eyes.

There was a trench around the mansion now, with a bridge that could link the inside with the outside.

“Look,” Deno shouted as he pointed to the sky, “there is even a shield around the mansion.”

In front of their eyes some birds were unfortunate enough to try and pass into the mansion. The moment these poor little things did so they got fried up by the shield, exposing its existence.

“Weird,” Gordan slowly said, “birds don’t fly at night.”

“Oh,” others exclaimed in surprise while Jim wasn’t surprised at all.

“This is expected,” he said, “these aren’t birds, or at least not normal ones.”

“Spies?” Rick asked just to make sure of what he understood.

“Yeah, and we don’t need to ask for whom, right?” Jim’s words were crystal clear as everyone instantly imagined the picture of that dragon dean.

“He… plans to keep your moves under constant surveillance,” Roo said.

“That’s expected,” Jim sneered, “after all what I did back there screwed his entire plans up. Even after resorting to dire measures and cheating he couldn’t beat me.”

“That’s what he deserves,” this was the opinion of all right now while they went closer to the mansion.

“Halt right there,” one master shouted when they were less than a hundred meters off the gate. “We’ll lower the bridge for you.”

The next thing that happened was for the bridge to fall with loud noises before the group entered the mansion.

“You renovated it,” Jim said to a berserker master who stood there leading other guards.

“Master Mark stressed over the importance of the mansion,” the berserker said, “don’t worry, you can sleep in peace while we monitor everything.”

“Thanks,” Jim commented before glancing around. The mansion that was broken and burnt down before they got to the expedition was now brand new.

There was no single scratch over it, plus he noticed that the ceiling ended up with what he felt like a watching tower.

“That’s for your own safety,” the master noticed his eyes fixed upon that part of the mansion, “from up there we can monitor the sky and protect the mansion from any intruders.”

“We noticed some birds trying to come in here,” Jim slowly said.

“They aren’t birds,” the master said, “they are spies.”

“I doubted it too,” Jim nodded, “thanks for keeping watch, I’ll enter the mansion now.”

“By the way,” the master stopped the group, “the mansion got enhanced by spells and arrays, so… don’t freak out when you enter it.”

Jim didn’t get what he meant by that but he nodded in gratitude before entering the mansion.

And there he felt instant shock the moment he passed through the main mansion door.

“What the hell…” it wasn’t just him, but all of the team were shocked by what they just saw.

In front of them wasn’t their usual mansion, but like a grand palace. Many halls existed, high ceilings and many decorations as well. The golden colors overwhelmed everything there and even blinded their eyes for a bit.

Yet what was really shocking was the presence of golden particles swimming freely in the air like they weren’t affected by any gravity at all.

“What did they do?” Jim asked in shock while moving around. “This isn’t anyway like the mansion we used to live in.”

“They kept the old wall intact,” Jenny laughed while pointing in one direction. There the old wall that Jim fooled everyone to think it was the gate to his secret realm was still there.

Everything around changed but not that wall.

“Now it’s time for us to play,” Rick shouted while the others yelled. They planned to scout the new palace they owned regardless of what caused that in the first place.

However everyone had a clue or two about what happened here. It seemed that Mark, Rana, and Igory kept themselves busy and took liberty in changing everything inside the old mansion.

And now it seemed like they were inside an enchanted place, something they never even knew could exist.

“No,” but Jim had to pour water over their burning excitement, “we need to have an urgent meeting.”

“Meeting?” everyone glanced in doubt at him while Deno asked, “what meeting?”

“We need to discuss what we will do from now on.”

“We… will enjoy our lives like king main followers,” Rick laughed and others followed.

“No, that’s not what I meant,” Jim paused before adding, “when I was in the forest, I had a very eye opening experience.”

“What? Don’t tell me you got spiritual!” Lan laughed but Jim didn’t find this funny at all.

“We… need to discuss how we can change our mindset,” Jim slowly said, “from being a pushover group, feeling weak and threatened all the times into a mighty group that welcomed threats with jokes and laughs.”

“That… is a bit strange,” Rick glanced at everyone before adding, “we aren’t that strong to begin with.”

“No you are wrong,” Jim firmly said, “no one is stronger than us.”

“Boss… as much as I would love to admit that, but that’s not true,” Deno slowly said, “we lack in numbers and strength. We are just first grade inner and outer disciples. No one can be weaker than us but those useless outer disciples.”

“Imagine higher grades, boss,” Kro jumped in, “they are all strong and mighty. They know more spells than us and gained far experience in life and fights and magic and everything. We can’t compete with them or even come close to their levels.”

Jim stood there while silently listening to their opinions. He knew this was what he used to think before meeting Hector, before seeing his team and how they reacted to dangers.

“I killed what others considered impossible to even survive fighting with,” Jim said in a firm and confident tone that made everyone pause from what they were talking about.

“I experienced very intense life and death situations and survived. Hector didn’t help me there, or even his ten grade disciples. I did!”

Jim’s tone was loud and clearly heard by everyone.

“But boss… we aren’t like you,” Deno said in a slightly embarrassed tone.

“But you are my followers,” Jim strongly said, “as far as I’m concerned, as long as we fight as one team no one can stop us. No one!”
