THE THOMAS DISTRICT

"Today is the day you all will be sent to your very first stations" The Vice General said with a dignified and calm look on his face.

"Here's how it's gonna work. After you all have arrived to your first stations, you need to finish 3 grade C mission before you all will get to be moved to the next station" The Vice General explained.

'Grade C missions' Pearce thought with a solemn look on his face.

In the Monster Slaying Regiment, the mission soldiers carry are being graded depending on how important or dangerous the mission is. The grades are grade D, grade C, grade B, grade A and grade X as grade D is the least dangerous or important while grade X is the opposite.

"Looks like things are about to get hard not too far from now" Robert said with a solemn look also on his face. When the other Monster Slayers heard that, they slightly gave a nod.

"Now the next thing is how many groups will be sent to a station" The Vice General said as he calmly stared at the soldiers seated.

When the soldiers heard what he said, everyone seated immediately kept their mouth shut as they looked at the Vice General attentively.

"Only two groups will be sent to a station for the time being. Our branches all over the world will also send out their soldier ranked soldiers to these stations so we need to set an example" The Vice General finally spoke after building up suspense in the hall.

When the soldiers heard this, a heated discussion suddenly gave birth amongst them.

"Looks like another group will tag along with us to a station" Barnes suddenly said with a wondering look on his face.

"I wonder who the group that will tag along with us is" Bridget suddenly chimed in as a wondering look was also on her face.

"No matter which group tag along with us. They will still be left in the dust by our majestic spirit to slay all monsters" Goerge suddenly said with a proud look on his face.

When his fellow groupmates heard him, the secretly rolled their eyes at him. Even Veronica followed them to do so.

'At least you got one thing right' Pearce thought with a light smile on his handsome face.

"I will now begin to announce the groups that will be paired, the station they will sent to and the time they will be sent" The Vice General suddenly spoke as a scroll suddenly materialize in his hands.

'How did he do that?' Pearce suddenly thought as he narrowed his eyes in shock. Why he was shock was because he didn't feel any fluctuations at the area The Vice General stood yet a scroll suddenly appeared in his hands.

'Maybe there is more to it that meets the eyes' Pearce finally concluded after being deep in his thoughts.

Meanwhile, the Vice General has already began to call out the groups that will be paired, the stations they will be sent to and the time they will be sent.

"Wait… are those the name we called ourselves just yesterday?"

"How did the Vice General find out?"

Voices filled with bafflement could be heard all over the hall to the names the Vice General were calling out casually.

'Looks like there is a hidden voice recorder in each of our houses' Pearce thought with knitted brows.

"The way am seeing it, it seems the Vice General has already known our name some time ago" Robert suddenly said as his eyes twitched a little.

"But how did he know? Isn't it just yesterday we made this name, and it was as dusk" Daniella asked with bafflement written all over her face.

"How should we know? The only thing is hope the Vice General will tell us how he knew about our names else it will forever be a mystery to us" Goerge suddenly said with knitted brows.

Right when Goerge finished his comment, the Monster Slayers immediately her there name being called out by the Vice General..

"The Monster Slayers will be paired with The Hope Harbingers. They will be sent to the Thomas district station in Country A and the time to setoff is a week from now"

'Country A?' Pearce thought as a twitch suddenly appeared on his face. Country A is the Country he was born in. Not only that, but that is where he graduated from the Children Encampment Centre and got into the Monster Slaying Regiment.

"Captain, Is something the matter?" Robert suddenly asked with a curious look on his face.

"Oh no, its nothing" Pearce said before he swiftly changed the topic.

"Do you know the group named the Hope Harbingers?"

"I think its the group full of females" Robert said as he looked at a particular area in the hall.

"What do you mean?" Pearce asked as a bad feeling began to rise in him. As soon as Robert heard that question, he immediately pointed at the area he was previously staring at as he said..

"As soon as the Vice General said we are going to be paired by the Hope Harbingers, the leader of the group full of females suddenly locked her gaze on you"

When Pearce heard that, he immediately looked at the area Robert pointed, as soon as he looked at that area, he immediately met with the leader of the Hope Harbingers gaze.

But what he found out from the leaders gaze is that there wasn't any hostility in the gaze. Instead, the gaze was full of gentleness and anticipation.

'What sort of 'good luck' is this?' Pearce suddenly thought while massaging his temples as he suddenly feel an headache coming.

"The last paired is the Chaos Breakers and the Flourishing Squad. They will be sent to the Miyagi District station that is in Country D and the time they setoff is in five days time" The Vice General said before the scroll suddenly vanished.

'Here it is again' Pearce thought as he looked at the empty hands of the Vice General with narrowed eyes.

"Now that you all have known the group you are temporarily paired with, the station you are sent to and the time you setoff, a will only give you all a piece of advice" The Vice General suddenly said with a serious look now on his face.

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately quieted down as they stared at the Vice General solemnly. But what came out of the Vice General's mouth was only two words.

"Fight wisely"

As soon as the Vice General said that, he suddenly vanished along with the old man in azure colored military uniform and the middle aged man that was also in an azure colored military uniform.

'These are real Powerhouse' Pearce thought as he suddenly had the urge to improve rapidly to their level.

"So what are we going to do during this one week preparation Captain?" Robert suddenly asked with a curious look on his face.

When Pearce heard that question, a gleam suddenly flashed in his eyes as he said…

"We are going to practice that battle formation till perfection".
