Chapter 36

Last scene...

"Greetings, young master!" Aichille beamed at Chun with puppy eyes. She was waiting to be praise for her handiwork.

The lad was about to say something at her when he was interrupted by the butler,"Young Lord, are we helping the extermination of the ghouls?"

Art look with respect at the youth, waiting for his answer.

"Later. We will discuss some things first" Chun directed his look at the grumpy Aichille that was glaring at the dense butler.

The red haired lady turned at Chun, beaming at him,"Absolutely, young master!"

Chun then leaded the way, both followed. He was not really uncaring towards the school, he just needed to wait for the signal to begin their supposed plan.

'It's in your hands now, Miku'

-------- Currently

As difficult as it could be, things weren't good on her side. The inner chamber was full of sleeping ghouls. Literally 'sleeping' ghouls, why are these ghouls asleep? Thoughts that lingered in the mind of the blue haired girl.

The girl that was slowly striding while brandishing her flame sword went to her destination, holding on her hand was a piece of figmented paper where the spell that could bind the core, temporarily stated by Chun.

Feeling that something was amidst with the very quiet surrounding, she noticed that some kind red aura was seeping through from the center of the chamber where the core was located. Realization dawned her.

Miku hastily run to the location and suddenly hide at the relic statue when she noticed that three wearing black cloak individuals was chanting strange languages while runic figures appeared where they stood, slowly the aura from the red core was diminishing.

How can I defeat them?

Looking at the three figures, they are all high levelled and she did not anticipate that someone would be involved with ghouls. One was a lean and tallest person of the group, the other is a foot smaller to the tall person and lastly their other comrade has an average height, in between the two.

"R7, let's hurry up. Master is calling for us" a deep serious voice stated to the two which is the tall figure.

"Yes, R8" the person with a average height.

"What will we do about this core? Were not finished yet, R8" an irritated femine voice was heard out from one of the cloak figures, the smallest figure.

"Good idea and---"

"Hurry up, Master is calling"

"Yes" "Yes"

"Let's go"

The three cloak figures suddenly ran towards the exit which exactly the location of Miku. Not even sparing a glance with a 'human presence', they already know the presence of Miku when she step inside the room yet they just brushed it aside not minding her because they're not here to play and ...

Master don't want irrelevant trouble right now. Because right now is not the 'right' time.

Miku thought that they were about to passed on her not noticing her presence when that figure with an average height stop for a moment and glance at her, leaving her dumbfounded as they flee.

What was that?...

The blue haired girl shake her head back into reality dismissing the thoughts away. Right now, she must do what was tasked to her to stop this chaos.

Good luck, Miku

"Idiot, this is not a direction" she muttered. How is she supposed to perform a binding spell if there's no further instruction?

Oh well, might let's get to instincts..

And instinct save the day.. well if that's how you put it.

A white haired youth on his white clean robes with a touch of blue linings from the collar and the sleeves was sitting leisurely on his chair infront of him a cup of rose tea while he admired the backyard of the teachers' area where there was a small garden located and no presence of soul at the moment, and his butler on his side ready to pour another tea for him.

A lady on her flaring red robes and two twin swords on her both sides was approaching the lazy youth drinking tea. At the same time she kneel down on one knee while bowing her head,"Young Master Chun, I have the information that you wanted."

"Speak" Chun gestured her to stand up.

"The Coiling Snakes was involved in that ghoul attack last two weeks"

"Young Master, Coiling Snakes is a black organization headed by the Sixth Prince of the TwinCity continent---"

"Did their King know this?" A glint can be seen on his blue-green eyes.

"He's unaware"

"Oh cool, it must be the one's that I've read in the books that---"

"Cough Cough" interrupted by the good butler Art.

"Young Lord, do you want a refill?" He asked as he motioned towards the empty cup.

"Yes" Chun forgetting what he was saying he nodded to Aichille to continue her report.

The lady look at Art gratefully that she escaped to the fantisies of her young master. Well it happened in her first tasked that instead she is the one reporting to Chun, the white haired youth would start to blabber when he pick up something interesting on the matters that she reported.

Young Master is sure lively today

"Really? Is this organization that good?" Chun sip again on his tea while beaming at Aichille to continue.

"Yes, young master but it still undetermined if he's an ally or not."

"What do you mean?"

"The three-stars which is known to be the Sixth Prince right hands were spotted in the inner chamber by your student named Miku, other than letting in the ghouls in the school premises, they're finding something in the school which likely to be what young master's looking for"

"Do you mean the fragments?" There's a trace of suprise in Chun's face. How did they know about this fragment?

"Likely, young master"

Chun sighed inwardly as he looked at the two people that was on the same boat of her.

"Well then dismiss"

----

He adjusted his brown cat-like eyes, looking around the strange room and why is it all white? He pondered and start walking, planning to escape while remembering the last memories he had which was nothing on his head. He has no memories to remember.

Ten minutes had gone by and he's still not getting out nor the scenery change, still all-white.

"Strange"

Like someone heard him, a cheerful yet ambiguous voice suddenly chirped in,"Welcome newborn 00!"

Suddenly he whip his head back to the source of voice yet he can't see anyone.

"I'm in your head!"

"Hallucinations" the young man simply stated while massaging his brows.

"Tsk. Idiot. I'm talking in your head literally" said by the irritated voice.

The man just lazily sit on the ground which is white. Leisurely ignored the 'hallucinations'

Hours passed and the ambiguous voice got frustrated.

"Okay okay, how are you going to trust me that I'm not a hallucination of yours?"

"Appear"

"..."

Suddenly a small ball of light appeared infront of the cat-like eyes of the young man.

Oh the 'voice' got me a light. It would be better to be a flashlight.

Knowing what was the young man thinking,"I'm not just simple ball of light, you need to be in a higher level to meet me in person, 00"

"Huh?" That caught the young man's attention. Precisely, what was really happening?

"As I'm saying you're the new 00 because the last one did not meet the requirements so he failed" stated by the ball of light with a hint of sadness yet it perked up and bounce.

"There's no to worry, you will absolutely fulfill your mission because you're the right one!"

How many times did he stated this to the former 00's?

The ball of light sighed helplessly yet instantly change his sullen vibe into a bright one.

"What exactly is my mission?" The young man with his cat-like eyes interrupted the thoughts of the ball of light.

"Oh! It's simple, you need to be a 'guide' to the Great Conqueror"

"Great Conqueror?"

"Indeed. It is a must in our world system, firstly you need to find your candidate to it"

The creased on the young man's forehead deeply deepen. What is this small flashlight saying?

"Candidate? Guide?"

Noticing that it forgot to introduce the preliminaries of being a guide,"Well, for you to start the mission, I must hone you first to be an excellent guide that even that Senior's disciple can't compare heh."

"What are you talking?"

"I'm saying that you're going to be my disciple!" The ball of light declared.

"Eh?!"

"Come, follow!"

The still confused young man followed the now vibrant light.
