Chapter 109: It’s Him!
"Do you actually want the position?"
Gina looked into Jason’s eyes and she saw that he was asking her for her honest opinion. She looked into herself and thought about it for a few seconds, and by the time she opened her eyes again, she realized that she really wanted the position. She had been looking forward to the position for a long time now, and she didn’t want to let it go now that it was so close.
"Yeah, I think I do."
"Then go for it. I know you’ll do a great job. If they keep trying to make me join, then I’ll go talk to them."
Gina smiled.
"Thanks, babe."
Jason nodded and leaned back in the chair. Jason then reached into his Alternate Dimension and pulled out the [Adamantine Ant’s Heart] that he got as a reward for killing the Ant Queen. Gina had been in the middle of drinking the last of her coffee when Jason placed the orb on the table, and once she saw it, she felt her brow furrow in confusion. She slowly put her cup down and asked,
"What the hell is that?"
Jason grinned before telling Gina to pick it up. Gina was still skeptical, but she did as she was told and picked up the orb. Once Gina grabbed it, she immediately felt her mana surge through her body like an undeniable wave! Her eyes widened in shock and she felt her entire body shiver from the amount of power that was shooting through her at that moment! What in the world was this!? Gina felt like she could take on an Eldritch rank on her own!
What Gina was experiencing was the effect of the Artefact! The artefact’s description said that it gave a hundred percent boost to every spell cast by the wielder, and Gina’s mana was rising significantly in response to that boost!
Gina turned to look at Jason in shock and she saw him grinning at her in a knowing way! Where in the world did Jason get this from? This was definitely an artefact! There was no other explanation for the power that she could feel! But it wasn’t just any artefact—it was a power-boosting artefact! These artefacts were some of the rarest items in the market, and it would normally cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to get even one of these! The only way you could find an artefact this powerful was if you killed the Eldritch rank boss of an Orange Gate! Gina’s eyes widened in shock as she realized what was happening!
"This is the artefact you got from the Orange Gate? Jason... I can’t take this."
Gina remembered Jason telling her that he cleared out an Orange Gate and that was where he found the princess. That was the only explanation that Gina could find for Jason having something this powerful. But Gina couldn’t take this. Gina always believed in moderation and she always tried her best not to impose on the people around her by taking too much from them! That was the whole reason why she dropped out of school. She knew that it was hard for her parents to keep sending her to school because of how hard their jobs were and she didn’t want to make them suffer, so she simply dropped out! She felt like receiving something this expensive from Jason was too much!
Jason shook his head and pushed the orb back to Gina. Jason could have used the orb for himself, but he knew that he would feel a lot calmer knowing that Gina was able to protect herself inside the Gate when he wasn’t with her. At least with this artefact, Jason was sure that she would be well protected.
"You don’t need to worry about the cost. You’re more important to me than whatever I can make selling this."
Gina felt a blush rising on her cheek once she heard what Jason said and she pulled the orb to her chest as she tried to slow down the butterflies! This was the first time anyone had ever given her something this precious as a gift, and Gina couldn’t even begin to describe how she felt at that moment! She gave Jason a look of utter adoration and Jason couldn’t help but blush slightly at her intense gaze.
Jason coughed into his hand to try and hide his embarrassment before he stood up and grabbed his things from the table while saying that he had to go to school.
"The wolves will stay here and look after the princess, so you can head out anytime you want."
Jason turned to Gina with a smile, and the smile widened as Gina suddenly flew into his arms with a tight hug! Gina pressed herself against him and Jason happily returned the hug before leaning down to give her a kiss. Gina hung off Jason’s neck and moaned into the kiss, and it didn’t take long for Jason to realize that he was already reacting to the sound of her voice! Jason’s hand traveled down to her ass and squeezed it softly and he heard Gina moan into his mouth as she pressed herself tighter against him!
Jason broke the kiss quickly before his arousal grew too much! If he wasn’t careful, he would just forget all about school and stay with Gina today!
"I’ll see you when I get back, okay?"
Jason waved while walking out and Gina pouted at Jason before she waved back with a smile. Once he left the house, Gina felt a pang go through her chest as she already missed his presence and she held the orb he had given her closer before sighing! Gina couldn’t wait for him to get back!
...
Vroom!
The streets leading up to Riverdale Public High School were packed with students as they headed towards the large building. The students were dressed in white t-shirts and black trousers and skirts, with black blazers topping off the look and giving them a very refined and aristocratic appearance. Most of them were walking in groups and talking about the various events that happened over the past few days.
"Hey, did you hear about the Orange Gate that the BloodRavens closed down yesterday? They said the Vice Captain and her team killed the boss in only three hours!"
"That’s nothing! I heard about another Orange Gate in Germany. The Predator dived into it and cleared it out all on his own!"
"Really!? The Predator was there alone!? I thought it was his guild!"
"The guild stayed outside and he entered on his own! The reporter that interviewed him after said he did it just because he was bored!"
"Aww man, I need to find that clip! Is it on MeTube?"
"Dude, y’all aren’t even talking about the most important thing that happened! Did you hear about Jason?!"
"Yeah, I heard he cleared out a Red Gate on his own. You think it’s true?"
"I think so. The SMD was there and everything! I saw the clip from when he came out of the Gate and he had some mad aura, bro. He walked out like he was one of the Five Rulers or something."
"Nah, I think it’s a lie. How in the world will a new awakener clear out a Red Gate? Even the veterans can’t do it! No way!"
"It’s Jason."
"Yeah, I know who we’re talking about."
"No, you idiot! I said it’s Jason! Look over there!"
Vroom!
The streets leading up to Riverdale High School suddenly grew deathly quiet as all the students who had been walking up to the building stopped in their tracks to look at the boy riding up on a white motorcycle! Jason had an emotionless look on his face as he ignored the various people gawking and pointing in his direction and made his way toward the building.
"Holy shit, it’s actually him!"
"Do you think we can go talk to him?"
"Nah bro, I’ve never even said a word to him before! It’ll be weird to go talk to him now! It’ll seem like I’m trying too hard!"
"Jason! Over here! Jason!"
A girl suddenly shouted from the distance as she tried to get Jason’s attention.
