I wasnt prepared for what he said next. He is one of the many encounters that will change my life...
"Yumeko but everyone call me Yumi, sir." I respond him.
"So Yumi, I heard you say something about finding an intership. Why don't you come with me? I know someone who's searching an assistant." he said.
My eyes widened a little. 'So he heard me.' I regained my composure and started thinking.If I accept then I will gain experience wich will help me to start my company. The problem here is that I don't even know that person so I have to be vigilant. Even if he seems familiar to me. And the second problem is that I would only be an assistant so I'm not sure if I will gain enough experience to be honest. But, it's worth a shot. I would rather be an assistant than not work at all.
"I accept your offer sir."I said. His eyes sparkled with excitement. "Great! Follow me."he exclaimed. He then started to roll toward a direction. Man was he fast! I had a little trouble to follow him but I succeeded. I was walking beside him "I am sorry sir but I forgot to ask: what's your name?" I told him. He look at me then respond "Call me Cyrus.". 'That also seems familiar to me. First his appearance then his name. Strange.'
While I was lost in my thoughts, we arrived in front of Borg Tower.'Why are we here? Wait...could he be the famous Cyrus Borg?! Nevermind, he totally is. This genius litteraly created flying cars and made a whole city enter a new era: the Technological one. But because of the corruption of the Overlord, we took back normal cars in case something similar happens in the future. You know, prevention.'
We entered, passed a secretary's office and headed towards the elevator. There were 2 staircases: one on the left and the other on the right. Ther were also some plants in pots. People were talking: some of future projects and others just to pass time. Some of them were at a table either laughing or on their laptop. We entered the elevator and Mr.Cyrus pushed the button labeled '100' and it started to rise. I assume it will take us to the 100th floor. Borg Tower posses 110 floors, the last 10 are reserved to Mr.Borg since he uses them, at the same time, as an office and a workshop. The last floor contains a balcony from where you can see all NinjagoCity. It is a pretty good view from what I heard.
While it was going up, I approached the glass wall. We had a view of all NinjagoCity. We could see the tall buildings and skyscrapers reaching up to the sky, the cars on the road heading to who knows where, people passing in the streets, kids playing in the parks, etc. We could also see the more traditional part of the city and the poorest neighborhoods. Near was the Palace of Secrets, the house of the Imperial family.
Few people know about their existence because they preserves their privacy. I am one of these few people because I read a lot of books on the history of Ninjago, some even in old Ninjagoean and sometimes, it was Mystake who would tell me a story on Ninjago or its creation. Sometimes, she would also tell me a story on the other realms and I was always fascinated, no matter how many times I heard the storie.
She was the one who made me read in old Ninjagoean and teach me how to write and talk. Now I can read, write and talk old Ninjagoean. Thanks Mystake! Anyway, it appears that the Imperial family was part of Ninjago long before us. Not as long as the First Spinjitzu Master but still.
I noticed a green figure on one of the tall buildings. Of course, the Green ninja. The Ultimate Spinjitzu Master, the chosen one, the prophesied green saviour, the grandson of the FSM, he goes by many names but he is mostly known as Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon, the youngest and the leader of the team. Not so far, on a skyscraper was the Water ninja, Nya Smith, the only girl of the team but also the most clever and mature one.
On the roof of one of the appartements complexs was the Fire and Lightning ninja. Kai Smith, Nya's brother,the hothead and flirtious one with Jay Walker, the jokster and scaredy cat but the most joyous. And finally the Earth and Ice ninja, Cole Brookstone, the pillar and foundation of the team with Zane Julien, the smartest and calmest one, were nowhere to be seen. Hmm, strange, normally the Ninjas patrol at night not during daytime and theres two of them missing.Maybe they're patroling down in the streets since we're pretty high in the sky and that would explain why I didn't see them. Or they are on the roof of Borg Tower... Or they just didn't come because they were busy with something else. I should really stop overthinking.
But it still strange. Usually, either the whole team patrols either it's just a small group of 2 or 3 of them. But the whole team showing up while two of them are missing? You gotta admit that it's intriguing to say the least.
While I was (again) lost in my thoughts, we arrived at the 100th floor. The doors opened and we got out.
