Yesterday was a little embarrassing, I cried in front of others for the most part.
But I feel much better now.
If he - my dear ones - were here and met people at Vaughan, what would he say? Is it the same as before?
I still remember his facial expression when he looked hatefully at humans.
My daydream broke when it felt an announcement signal from the Heart Core.
Then I who was still sitting on the park bench near the fountain began to check it. Open a typical holographic screen until the figure of EVE appears suddenly.
"Attention, a portal has been found in the Feidelm region. It was unknown that the portal belonged to a General or Elite, but the pressure of its strength was weak. It was likely that the Elite was about to enter the advanced stage. SS Grade mission, please all members return and gather to the main building of the Execution Department."
EVE's announcement was over and I got out of my seat and threw an empty soda can into the recycling bin.
Looks like it's the portal Professor Kaidan mentioned yesterday, where he lost the watch.
On the way, faintly within the crowd was seen several people stepping into the same place.
I'm pretty sure they're members of the other Execution Department. This announcement is for all members, without exception.
In the back yard of the arid Execution Department building without a tree to shade it, we gathered. Line up neatly and firmly by folding both hands behind your back.
We did not do the slightest of meaningless movements, until impressed like not breathing.
Although the stinging heat that seems like ripping the skin.
Professor Kaidan stepped back and forth staring at us one by one. Occasionally rubbed his tired face.
He looks agitated.
It seemed like since the members of the Execution Department who had gathered were few, could be counted on the fingers. Though the announcement was not missed from all the members available in the academy.
Finally he stopped and faced us perfectly.
"Ss Grade Missions. Indeed, the strength of its dimension is weak, maybe an advanced Elite class, but we cannot take this lightly. We don't know the enemy's identity, EVE can't track him. It was also not known how many Knights and Pawns they had. Moreover, there is no sign or information of the slightest around the dimensional portal, forcing us to research directly; into the dimensions they create."
The firm voice of Professor Kaidan as the leader of the Execution Department broke the silence.
Now his two eyes looked at each individual in the line. Then he started calling some names.
The bearded person stepped forward, standing firmly beside him without forgetting the typical code of conduct of the Execution Department.
Four people were chosen, one of them was me and Daniel.
Dominguez, a senior. Grade S strength with A control. Gunner's main class. Famous club member, Mercy. Even he was included in the top rank of the academy's best disciple. Very rarely do I meet him because he is always busy with a pile of missions. Unexpectedly, I was standing next to him.
Last up was Neor, Swordmaster Grade A. Although his body is tiny like Cecil, but he is famous for being quite agile.
However, this did not calm Professor Kaidan down. He still looks agitated.
He faintly muttered something while struggling with his cellphone. His voice was very slow and all I could hear was that he said, "... Need Grade S immediately."
He started calling on his cell phone and at that time also raised his right hand up; a gesture broke the line.
Leisurely walking Professor Kaidan glanced at us for a moment, like asking to be followed.
It was quite time consuming until we arrived at the helipad belonging to the academy.
The Westand Lynx military helicopter was ready to take off, even the sound of its propeller was so noisy, it made me unable to hear Professor Kaidan's conversation with his cell phone which was now finished.
I narrowed my eyes and slightly dispelled a puff of dust. I can feel my black cloak to the point of fluttering.
Professor Kaidan stretched his right hand out in front of us, a sign of having to wait for someone.
And for a moment, my attention was drawn to the person who had just arrived to our group.
"Crist?!"
"Ahahaha, hello, Red. I'm the Consultative Department envoy who will accompany you on this mission, "he said lightly, almost drowning in the roar of a helicopter propeller.
I didn't expect a member of Club Dion's team to be on a mission other than my own daughter-Daniel.
Although Crist was someone with Grade A, his way of handling work was quite good. Perhaps that was why he was able to follow this mission, spelled out if the Grade SS missions usually the academy would focus the members with Grade S.
Actually if the Elite-class musk like the one once encountered in the Piotr region, it would be easy to handle using Time Lock and Fate could track down the enemy-foe's weak point
"Fate?!"
Honestly I was a little-no, very surprised. I mean ....
His body stature was walking firmly closer to us. Many times the girl inserts the child's hair behind the ear because the silver strands interfere with vision due to the roar of the helicopter propeller.
His footsteps stopped right in front of us, signaling he was among the team members on duty for this SS Grade Mission.
Professor Kaidan laughed at my expression, while the others looked at me confusedly including Fate himself.
I finally shook my head and followed them on the helicopter.
I never thought this trip would feel so awkward.
Anyway, Fate was sitting right next to me. We're too close-ah, not close anymore, even touching each other's shoulders!
God, why is my heart always beating so fast when there is him? While Professor Kaidan who was sitting to my left - near the entrance - kept smiling.
Did he plan this?
"Why is the new kid coming? SS Grade missions, right?" cetus Daniel broke the silence.
Fate realized the sentence was fixed on him as it started to open its eyes and stare straight at the blond male in front.
"Fate's not a new kid, he's been in the academy since winter. It's been over two months" I said.
It just so happened that I was in charge of accompanying him so as to remember when he was registered to Vaughan.
However, it seems that my answer did not satisfy my club chairman.
He threw out a face while rolling his eyeballs.
"It's a new kid, not a year. Need enough experience for a special mission like this."
Hearing that Crist chuckled until his two eyelids formed a line.
While Fate looked unconcerned and closed his eyes again.
Dominguez and Neor fell silent, perhaps realizing only they were different clubs so there wasn't much comment .... or maybe Neor was motion sickness? He looks pale.
Professor Kaidan rubbed his tired face.
"Indeed, only Fate is not a member of the Execution Department and also not a messenger like Crist, but you need Grade S immediately. You don't know how long the portal has been around, it should be investigated immediately. Only two Grade S people were available from the Execution Department. I'm sure Fate can handle this."
I was silent looking at them. Don't know what comments don't want to make the mood worse.
Moreover, now Daniel snorted like an omen of inadmissibility.
I don't know why Daniel behaves like that, even though Fate has high magic power.
It made me remember. Until now, I never reported on successfully doing Time Lock with Fate to the academy.
