BXBX NOVEL Chapter 92 - Second Mission
"This is the mission." The president gave her the mission paper.
Kai and Michelle read the mission together.
Mission: Escort
Description: Escort Evan Young to the Brazil Front Military Base.
Reward: $500,000 and 10,000 Points
"..." Speechless, they blinked a few times to check whether their eyes were playing with them or not. Both of them exchanged looks, thinking the same thing before turning their heads to the student council president.
"Are you sure this is a mission? Not your way to boost our points, right? I know you take care of me, but I don\'t want it this way…" Michelle looked at him with complicated expressions, not knowing whether to be happy or disappointed.
"I know. I would never do that." The student council sighed, keeping the situation in suspense.
"Then why!" Michelle slammed the table.
Noticing he was not lying, he suddenly had another thought.
"It seems the boy understood the mission." Mia Carr, the vice president, smiled upon noticing Kai\'s expression.
"!!" Ayaka turned her head, hearing Kai suddenly said. "Undercover mission?"
"Why do you say that?" The student council smiled a bit before asking.
"From the previous emergency mission, even though the school sent Evan Young, there was only one person escorting him. And there was this mission that looked very unrealistic in terms of rewards. So, I am suspecting there will be another danger to be worth this reward." Kai answered.
Mia Carr smiled as she clapped her hands. "It seems it is a good choice to leave Michelle in your hands."
"That\'s right. This is an undercover mission. Because of the mission system, we can put any more information on the mission, so I will explain the real mission." The president\'s expression turned serious.
"We have a military base in Maraba, which is our front line at the moment. Even with our situation right now, there are still certain groups that want to hinder us… basically, they are like a terrorist organization.
"This organization\'s name is D\'Ruler. According to our information, their hideout is on the Santarem. I want you to investigate them."
Kai furrowed his eyebrows. "I think you should ask Elites for this…"
"We had sent several elites but always left with empty hands. They are using a terrain advantage in order to escape from our eyes. However, it would be different for you, Kai Carter."
"So, it\'s because of my hearing, you chose us for this mission?"
"You are half correct." The president replied. "It\'s true that your extraordinary hearing is a good weapon for this. However, we have several reasons.
"Firstly, the reason why we would send Evan Young there is not to heal the soldiers… I mean, he will heal people, but that\'s not his main role."
"..." Michelle was enlightened. "A bait?"
They knew Michelle had more information than Kai, so she knew about another thing. The president then explained. "It seems their leader is heavily injured and they want to use Evan Young\'s ability to heal him, thus making him a great bait. He also has been informed about this."
"Still, I can\'t understand why you chose us for this mission. If you just want to locate them, can\'t you just choose Isabelle Fisher? I am sure she will be pretty effective with her special eyes." Michelle felt something was missing.
"They would be wary if we sent her team to escort Evan Young. However, it will be different if we send you. They would only know the name of Michelle Graham. As for Kai Carter, Tasha Carter, and Kudo Ayaka, they will only know that these three are new people in the US base.
"That way, their attention will be focused on you while the other three are free to move. There are several elites that will help you in that base, but if they somehow miss someone, you will need to fight them.
"Meanwhile, Kai Carter would locate their base. You just need to locate the base and send the location to us. The military will do the rest." Bryan explained.
"..." Kai closed his eyes, pondering the mission. He could locate them before reaching their place or revealing himself since his hearing had a large range. If they sent Isabelle Fisher and her group, not only would they become wary because of their prestige, Isabelle might need to reach a high place so she could observe her surroundings.
They wanted to take advantage of their new team to take care of this. "I understand the reason. But we still have the option to reject…"
"Sadly, you don\'t have one. The school will disband your group and take back all of your rewards." Bryan sighed. "This group has been plaguing us for so long. Having a potential threat behind the backs of the military is certainly not good.
"With the forces the military has dedicated to the war against the magical beasts, the unknown threat right behind us will cause the army to worry. Because of this, we can\'t send a full force to expand our border because we need to spare more soldiers to protect the base. Besides, our army can\'t march for long because they might get ambushed by the terrorist.
"Because of that, the government wants to use any means to get rid of this organization. Tch." Bryan clicked his teeth, complaining. "We don\'t need another enemy other than magical beasts."
"..." Seeing this reaction, he knew that the President was against using them for this mission. Most likely, it was the order from the higher up. Kai took a glimpse of Michelle\'s expression and noticed how unsure she was with this mission, so he decided to speak. "Even so, our enemy right now is the terrorist… and they are certainly elites. For students to fight elites like this…"
"The army will try to do anything to destroy the terrorist, so you don\'t need to fight them." The president tried to assure him, but with him talking, if the army somehow missed someone, this mission was risky. Because of that, the student council added, "In any case, if the situation becomes more dangerous, we will surely compensate you."
Kai only wanted to keep \'them\' safe and did not need any compensation. However, seeing the troubled look in Michelle\'s face, he knew he had no choice other than accepting the mission. "I… Agree."
Michelle could only sigh and nodded her head too. "However, we will decide our own battle plan and the army will move according to our plan."
"This…" Bryan had trouble accepting Michelle\'s condition because they had their own plan ready. Taking a glimpse of Kai, he pondered for a moment. "I will try to negotiate with them. Because of the battle in Prince Rupert, he has a certain reputation in the army."
"Then, when are we leaving?"
"As soon as possible, so tomorrow."
"Let\'s go." Clenching the mission paper, Michelle took Kai out of the student council.
"Wait." Bryan stopped them, taking out a pen from his desk. The pen was a four-color pen. "Take this with you."
Kai received the pen, confused. "What is this for?"
"The pen has a tracker inside. If you found the base, use this pen and leave it there. Black for the north, blue, for the east, green for the south, and red for the west. Each time you tap will be recorded as one kilometer. For example, you tap blue twice, it means the base is two kilometers from the east. The army stationed in Venezuela will move as quickly as possible."
Kai nodded, taking the pen. After that, they left.
"Are you sure of handing this mission to them? Even though they are pretty special, it is a bit hard to fight elites, you know." Mia Carr asked Bryan with a concerned face.
"I don\'t have any choice." Bryan slammed his hand on the table before clenching his fists. "The conquest of Brazil is too important. The government is trying to set up a relay point in Brazil to destroy the S rank magical beast in Argentina.
"If they manage to do that, then they should be able to take control of the whole southern continent in less than a decade. However, the terrorist might destroy their plan. That\'s why the higher up want to destroy this organization no matter the price."
Mia let out a long sigh. "No wonder. Back when the civilization overturned, the magical beasts cornered us to a measly Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska. Because of the hard work of many generations that we manage to get the entire US back, killing a few S rank magical beasts and expanding our frontline to Canada in the north and Brazil in the south.
"It seems the government is seriously trying to overtake the entire continent."
"No. They are planning more." He shook his head with a serious expression.
"What do you mean?" Mia narrowed her eyes.
…
Meanwhile, Michelle and Kai were walking around the corridor and because of that talk, he managed to understand the reason why they needed to take the mission.
The moment they arrived, they were greeted by the anticipation from Tasha and Ayaka.
Michelle started explaining their mission, making them frown. After that, Kai started telling them the battle plan. "We will split our group into two. The first group will be in charge of Evan Young\'s safety while the second group will be locating the enemy base.
"The first group will be Michelle and Ayaka, while the second group is Sister and me since I want a speedy operation. I hope we can settle this in one or two nights. Any questions?"
All of them shook their heads. Michelle closed the meeting. "Alright. We will meet again tomorrow and leave."
