Chapter twelve: Target

…

So what location are you selecting? Miss Tasha inquired.

I am picking a deserted city besides, a deserted city will have so many building ruins so we can use them for cover, I replied her.

Hmm, I would have advised you to pick a forest but, the current location is okay.

Well, I am done with the specification of the location so, there should be no problem.

…

Meanwhile, a man in a white suit with a golden colored hair is angrily talking to another man who was kneeling on one knee.

How could you lose five people to an ordinary child, the man with the golden hair thundered.

I am sorry, I thought the kid was an ordinary child, the man replied with his head hung downward.

Right now, he was currently covered in sweat an does not have the guts to speak back at the man in front of him except, that he wanted his body to be chipped into a million pieces.

Hmm, I won't tolerate any mistake from you, the man with the golden hair said. Besides, did you get any information about the kid?

No, but, I have his picture right here, he replied as he hastily brought the picture to the man with the golden hair.

This should do, the man replied before dismissing him.

This is good for nothing, I sent him to retrieve the katana but the mission ended as a failure.

Seems like I will have to get a better person, he said before making a call.

Yes boss, what do you want me to do? A man with a husky voice asked as soon as the line got connected.

I will like you to capture the kid in the picture I will send to you and no matter what happens, you must bring him alive.

Fine then, the man from the other side replied before disconnecting the call.

…

I think I can fight you one more time, Rick said while gasping for air.

In your condition? Miss Tasha asked.

A few minutes ago, Rick was dominating all thanks to his new skill but when Miss Tasha began to evade all his attacks, he had no other option than to fight her in close combat. But surprisingly, Miss Tasha was able to beat him even after using the new katana.

If I were you, I would already be resting by now besides, your close combat skills have improved greatly, she praised me before continuing also, that katana Is powerful than I imagined it to be, besides, if I had gotten hit I don't think I will be able to recover anytime soon.

But it's in a simulation room, you will recover right away but, you may suffer from exhaustion, I replied her.

Or, were you saying those things to cheer me up, I asked with a poker face.

No, she replied.

Anyways you and your teammates don't have to come to school throughout next week, Miss Tasha said.

"Ehem", why? I asked with a frown.

Since your team suffered heavy attacks from monsters during the training session, the principal gave each of you a week to recover.

Well, that's considerate, I replied to her with a smile.

Anyway, I got to start going as It is already late, she said as she walked toward the front door.
