25 chapter 25

Jimmy spoke,"I am in the know like you are Kimza and I know that I have a greater responsibility than own village. I am not that short sighted my dear friend and teacher!"

Kimza spoke,"Holly, Honno, and Gerald you had raised an incredible man!"

The family of four all give the weapon master a giant group hug which rattles the gruff old man. Kimza was not used to showing and receiving such open expressions of emotions.

Gerald spoke,"You help us to bring out our son's best qualities! Thank you!"

Jimmy had destroyed the Zarabas brothers but he had no time to enjoy his victory. He had to heal the dying villagers. He knew how to use his ki as a cleric as well as being a weapon master.

#

Jimmy had checked all the villagers and no one has died. The weapon master has trained to do all kinds of wound treatment. Jimmy was taught to use his ki to heal wounds, even life threatening wounds could be treated as well.

One old man grabbed Jimmy by the shirt sleeve.

The villager speaks," You have got to go back home! There is bandits at your house you must leave! I heard the two that you have killed say that the target was your home!"

Jimmy speaks,"What did you say!"

Mary was in her kitchen cooking on a metal burner when she hears an alarm go off in the kitchen.

Jimmy would often leave for hunting expeditions and some visits at the battle academy for days at a time. So he would leave bobby traps set for attacking any outsiders. The traps would allow any of the village to enter the house but the traps could somehow detect ki of the individuals nearing the mansion. If the ki was evil then the incoming person would be attacked by traps set in the area around the mansion.

Jimmy Sr could determine one's character based on one's ki.

Mary knows that sometimes is up and looks through a view finder that is in the kitchen that is connected to the roof of the mansion. A series of mirrors transport the image to the eyes of Mary.

There was several bandits and they had the house completely encircled!

#

Mary was in a state of deep fear over the troubles were literally encircled around her lovely home. Bandits had targeted her home probably due to how elaborate it was. They must have thought that the household was very wealthy.

Jimmy was the primary hunter of the village and he was very good at it. His daily hauls supported his family and all those in the village that could not hunt for themselves. He exported a lot of meat, after the entire village had taken the best pickings out of the massive haul. This brought in a lot of money for Jimmy and his family. Thus, they were never in need for anything materialistically.

Jimmy's success as a hunter allowed Mary to quit her job as a sempstress and a be a full time homemaker. Mary still did some part time work to help those that were need in the village. Mary was becoming a very good sempstress and had many clients scattered throughout the nearby villages.

The couple of Jimmy and Mary had become the richest in the village but they never flaunted all the money that they had gathered during their marriage. They gave a healthy tithe anomalously to the local church so that the minster would not have work a secular job and spend all his time on the church and his family. The tithe also went into the well being of the village so that the villagers would not be without any necessity.

Many a time, people such as bandits, feel that it is not good enough to be given something so they had to steal it all. Sometimes, people do not care what they do with their fellow man. They just had to take what they wanted due to some uncontrollable compulsion. Some people theorized that some people must be possessed by all sorts of evil spirits to carry out the horrendous things that they do.

But all that philosophizing was lost to the young mother since herself and child was in danger from the incoming bandit attack.

Mary ran over to the middle of a tiled floor and gently stomped the floor seven times and

the section of the floor opened up revealing a hidden hatch. She rushed down the stairs and shut the

hatch behind her.

Mary flipped a nearby lever and the hatch locked behind her.

The large mansion had a basement with a hidden subdivision within it that would be used for

emergencies during random bandit attacks. Jimmy did this because he was often away for days at a time due to hunting expeditions and training sessions at the battle academy.

In the hidden part of the basement, there was a panic room full of all sorts of supplies that could be used to live on until the assault would be concluded. At the base of the stairs was a large metal door surrounded by huge marbled walls.

Mary opens the heavy door and she has to pressed her free side to help her open the door. She enters the large panic room and puts Jimmy JR into a nearby baby crib. She then shuts the door to the room and locks the door by a combination of switches told to her by her husband.

Mary picks up her son and sits in a wooden rocky chair given to her by the local wood smith. She opens her top and begins to breast feed her blessed Jimmy Jr.

The mansion and the land around was bobby trapped by Jimmy so that it would attack anyone that was foreign to the village. All the villagers had to walk out to the home Jimmy so that it would not assault them if they had approached the house by themselves. Jimmy had put some sort of ki detection equipment in the ground that was acclimated to those that supposed to be there and who was not.

Over one-hundred bandits had the mansion completely encircled, while they were carrying axes, daggers, knives, etc,. The bandits were getting impatient and they decide to charge the mansion. The bandits did not even stop to check for traps. Such an elaborate house out in the open had to be guard well was something that was easy to believe.

If they only knew then they would have check for traps, then they could have found all the traps

that Jimmy Sr had left scattered all over the yard within half a mile radius of the house.

But that was all too late.

Land minds in the yard went off and blew up several bandits into countless bits and pieces of blood and gore.
