Another humiliating defeat at Jax's hands left me thinking about how I did combat once again. I had no problem with losing, but I realized that I lacked any power in a specific way because of my generalization. I wasn't even sure what hit me when Jax did hit me. That leather shell of his was almost a personification of his power.
It took me the rest of the day and well into the night to recover, and I wasn't happy with myself. It didn't matter that the gulf of our power was the entire rank of B rank. Hell, The power in this world between ranks seemed so weird to me. Why wasn't there a more refined method of telling power?
I stopped myself from thinking that continually since I had too much to work on. I had one more appointment with Mira before I got into potion-making so that I could fulfill my contract. What I would be doing with that gold was still up in the air with the amount I needed everywhere. But it was one that I would address soon.
I leaned back as I heard a soft knock on the door, and I called out my allowance for entry into the room. I heard soft feet come in, and I could smell a pleasant scent. "Well, I heard from one of my little spies among the incubi that you fought Jax." Queen Mira said as she took a seat across from me.
"I did," I replied, my mind still a little lost with thoughts. "You know, I had just crossed the bridge to B rank when I came to the Demon lands." I told her absent-mindedly, "Then Francis asked me to fight. I took him up on it, and I realized that he was built to fight wizards. He could take so much damage from me and just shrug it off. I lost, but it didn't feel like it was hopeless for me." I grinned, "I took some time in the coming weeks and came up with some solutions, and in our next fight, I beat him. It was remarkable that I could in the end. But I did," I told Mira.
"Winning in the arena without killing, in my opinion, doesn't mean much," Mira replied, and I looked at her.
"That is what I need to get ready for," I told her. I sighed, feeling the tension in my body leave, "I need to be ready for the war, and I have too many things on my plate. But the major thing I need to do in the coming days is to increase my power, and It will need to be focused." I took a deep breath, and I firmed myself, "Let us get to signing this contract," I told her and pushed the papers on the table for her to sign. "This is the final and formal agreement to our cooperation. I would like you to read it over before you sign since I added some things that we talked about to cover both parties involved."
Mira picked up the papers and started to read. I watched her expression in the black dress she wore. I threw that dress into question as I remembered the illusion from just yesterday. It was sexy thinking about that, though, as I knew that I may or may not even be able to take off that dress if I wanted to. I gave myself a mental shake, though, knowing that I was letting my libido get the better of me once again.
"Hmm," I heard Queen Mira's charming voice sound as she hummed, reading it over. Not too long later, she put down the papers on the table and looked up at me. "So, The pay on this is what we discussed, including a portion of the potions. I am disappointed that we cannot get the formula for the potions, but that will happen through reverse pioneering anyways in the end." Mira said, and I couldn't help but shrug.
"We both know it is going to happen," I commented with a wry smile. "But the delay for your tower to get the potion is something both sides consider essential for this deal."
"Yes, It is," Mira replied and looked pointed to a section of the contracts. "This paints me in your corner, and all the Beast-kin nation will know if they are looking at the contract. It paints that although as my Illusionist wizards are to be under command in the military structure of the Beast-kin nation as Contract Adventurers, they will only follow the chain of command under the Bunny-kin Named Chelsea Loveknot, who signed this contract or those under her command. It is quite explicit." Mira said, "Will they accept that?"
