Elder Socrate turned to Karl now that the women of the PTA were out of the arena.
"You might as well return to work, unless you’re planning a victory dinner or something. I have a very long meeting with the other Elders about what should and should not be allowed in a duel.
Mental skills are rare, and permitted, but that combination of Immortal Rank illusions and mental skills is just nasty.
They might request that you just slap her or something next time there is trouble for your little one at the school."
Cara and Amaldor laughed. It was the woman’s fault that she thought Cara was a real student and not just a young Immortal taking remedial classes to cover things that she had never learned before.
But there was also a good chance that she was going to get in trouble with the parents again.
Karl laughed as he returned to the Alchemy Hall with Rae and Dana, while Cara remained in a reduced size badger form to ride on Amaldor’s shoulder back to the school.
[The PTA moms are too dumb to connect the two, they won’t even realize that it’s me.] she gloated.
Elder Socrate sighed as he saw the smug look on the badger’s scarred face.
"The Clan is about to get a lot more interesting, I feel. With that badger wandering around, there is no way that we’re about to have calm days."
Dana smiled. "Oh, I wouldn’t worry too much about her. That’s background Chaos. Just wait until everyone starts showing up at the Alchemy Hall for equipment instead of the warehouse, just because Karl is on punishment duty."
The Elder looked horrified. "That’s right. Fighting while on punishment duty is an automatic extension. No, I can argue that he didn’t actually fight, there was no hitting. Yes, that will work."
He was idly rubbing Remi’s hooded head as the Naga Matriarch hung around his neck, preparing herbs in her tiny hands.
Remi had most definitely made a new friend, and it was only a matter of time before she dragged him back to her lab so that they could work on a new experiment together using familiar equipment.
Though, that might have to wait until she had learned whatever new techniques were common in the Immortal Worlds. There was a lot that Remi didn’t know about Immortal Rank Alchemy, and she had found the perfect person to teach her.
As soon as they got back to the Alchemy Hall, where dozens of Immortals were lingering, not in line, but waiting for Karl to return, Dana knew that her warning about the Alchemy Hall’s customer base was already too late.
There was no time to prepare if the lineup was already present.
"He’s back. Everyone, get in order." Someone called, and Dana sighed.
"You know what? I will be at the apartment with Rae."
Karl nodded. "I will come back later to help with the upgrades. It appears that I have garnered a fandom."
The people in line all laughed. In a way, Karl was right. Most of them wanted to place orders for equipment.
"First up, who is here for something from the Alchemy Warehouse? If you have an order, please come to the front of the line." Karl called.
Nobody moved.
"Seriously? Alright, start with your proposals. I’m sure that the fine ladies of the Alchemy Hall will appreciate me not causing trouble for their regular customers."
