Chapter 39: Another Mission

Tahara and his group returned to their base safely as Tahara's wounds were been treated by a nurse.

"So Vossler escaped," Kunimichi said.

Everyone in the room was exhausted after the battle with the lower ranks. The Guild of Teal Arms was no longer around.

"So the 8 ancestral spirits are back," Tahara let out.

"What are they anyway?"

Haru explained to everyone that the 20 ancestral spirits were spirits who were defeated during Miyaguchi's forefather's ancestral era and their souls were trapped inside the gates of hell.

The 20 ancestral spirits were also referred to as gods during their time.

Maris asked Haru who killed the ancestral spirits and what was their names. Haru explained to Maris that up to date, no one knows who and how the ancestral spirits were defeated. But there have been rumors circulating that the Kado family were the ones who defeated the ancestral spirits. But since they don't have the full evidence yet, they can't tell.

"Have you asked Teiken about it?" Yui asked.

Haru told Yui that Teiken doesn't want to explain the details to him either.

"About their names," Haru said.

The White Widow, The Lost Guardian, The Escaped Servant, The Tombstone Teacher, The Midnight Guardian, The Silent Visitor, The Gray Soul, The Lost Maniac, The Blind Templar, The Sinister Hunter, The Watching Wraith, The Playful Reaper, The Malevolent Angel, The Crypt Monk, The Red Temptress, The Preaching Demon, The Unwanted Screamer, The Raging Keeper, The Mourning Curator, and The Graveyard Devil.

"There was one ancestral spirit called The Reading Maniac but got killed by her fellow ancestral spirits," Yui said.

Everyone's eyes were opened as if they were about to pop open after hearing what Yui said.

The ones that we just saw were

"We don't know much of the details but it seems that Teiken will know," Yui said.

"The ones that we just saw were The White Widow, The Lost Guardian, The Escaped Servant, The Tombstone Teacher, The Midnight Guardian, The Silent Visitor, The Gray Soul, and The Lost Maniac," Haru said.

Everyone in the room kept quiet as they were thinking of why they didn't attack them then.

"Why didn't kill Miyaguchi after they saw us?" Haru said.

"It was part of their mission to do so?" he continued.

Something isn't right

Maris got up from his feet and went outside the Dojo. Tahara followed Maris as Maris to the cemetery opposite the Dojo.

Maris knelt and began to weep at Asai's grave. Tahara felt sorry for Maris as he to knelt and gave him a pat on the back.

"We all did this for Asai," Tahara said to Maris.

Maris told Tahara how he wished she was still alive somehow telling her how they defeated the Guild of Teal Arms.

Tahara have Maris a hug as he told him to communicate that with Misa when he always remembers her in his heart.

Maris thanked Tahara as he wept bitterly like a child who had been beaten.

Hano walked towards Haru and asked him when Otake would be returning.

Haru replied to Hano telling him that he has gone overseas and so would be returning next year.

Tsk!

Juba asked Haru who Otake was Haru told Juba that Otake is a Rank S swordsman and a magic user and is in his second year.

"Rank S!" Juba said.

"If Otake would have faced Vossler head to head, Vossler would either be defeated or run away," Haru explained.

"Why so?" Samon asked.

"That's something that should be kept a secret," Haru said.

Haru then got up and told Tahara and his group that he had a mission for them as Yui also informed her group that she also has a mission for them.

Tahara and his group except for Miyaguchi were to go to Hiratsuka to kill some Polar Hippogriffs as they have started to appear there a lot.

Yui also told her students to go to Asahikawa as Titan Walkers have appeared recently.

"Okay master!" they said.

Yui and Haru then formed a magic circle as the students all stepped inside.

"Good luck!" they said as they clapped their hands and they all transported to their various places.
