Thank you for your support!
Note 1; Book sequel notice; Last Mage in Minnesota Book 3 submitted to Amazon Saturday night. Excited to post this as news. Also I've worked hard on it and put every trick I could into making it amazing. It will have approximately 485 pages. (I like to give readers plenty so that when they finish the book they don't get this feeling like, damn I wish that were longer... too short.) Tons of work and goodies put into this. I think its going to be one of the best works I've put out yet.
Chapter 19 Part B
Continued from Part A
"Nah, if you have a king you become his slaves," his friend responded. Around the two, whoever heard that was suddenly getting mad. It looked like a lot of the kids might start a riot soon. I could see people also subtlety picking up rocks, sharp stick bits, or anything they could in the grass of the meadow around them, and stuff to fight with.
Then someone started booing until one of the rangers hit him with a club. If they hadn't hit him, others would have joined him in his booing it seemed. But seeing their readiness to hit people things were getting more confusing.
"King? What in the world?"
There was a lot of confusion. People weren't very happy, but then all the sudden one of the students came up to the podium, "gentleman and ladies. My name is Yuta, as you all know. I also hope to be King Yuta and help you all achieve your potential. I believe that I am the only one to be able to lead this people in the new world. The part about being king, if we don't have our own king someone else will? Those Egyptian soldiers and that Yayoi group you saw them right? Both those cultures have kings and slaves. So if they are going to try to rule over us why not have our own king instead? Isn't it better if it's one of our own people?"
As he was talking I heard Yumi whisper, "clever son of bi@#@! He is using the evil of this world to justify swaying the people. He wants people to believe there's no other choice..."
"We're not doing this king nonsense. We just have to stand our ground. Or disappear at night together after they are asleep. One way or another we'll get through this," I assured Yumi, and Asakura, and a few others.
Some near us nodded hearing my plan instead.
But we kept hearing the king candidates make their speeches. Also they'd somehow created some loophole that those chosen to be voted on were already decided on. Which fits for when you get a rigged election; you can tell since they don't let people outside their club be a candidate to be voted on.
Yuta continued, "I am the only one who can read the screens and magic system notifications so far. As you all know, Raya got sick last night too and seems deathly ill. She won't be able to help with this job for awhile. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this causes. Because of the circumstances and desperation I feel forced to carry this heavy burden. However, I am committed to us building a new city and community as New Kobe! I have even discovered a site for our new city and am sure we can rebuild. Vote for me, as your candidate for King of Kobe! I will make sure each of you have a place to live and want to make Rina my bride!"
"The fudge?" Yumi exclaimed. "Trying to steal our Rina...that pig..." her face was heating up and getting beat red.
"Oh no!" Rina ducked low so she could hide behind other people in front of us in the crowd. She was looking really scared. "Don't let him get me Shun!" she added.
"Don't worry. He won't. We'll fight him if we have to," I said.
Yuta raised his hand like he was in charge and trying to stimulate his leadership propaganda. It looked somewhat like someone that was in a parade on TV. "Thank you, thank you," he was saying as he ended his speech and then went to go sit down by where the other three candidates were sitting. Both of them were also looking at the crowd reacting badly though to their idea. But they were too greedy to back down, all of them.
