Chapter 189: Mission

Knowing that there was nothing to do in February, Kai decided to immerse himself in his research. Unlike the others, he knew they would face the S rank magical beasts in a few months. In fact, if he were the commander, he would fight a spider in Autumn.

He felt that if he didn't have enough preparation, it would become very troublesome.

Michelle had no other thing to do and thought about having a fun time with Kai, but decided to put that on hold. The situation on the base was still hyped, so it would cause more trouble for him to go out right now. The best would be after the mission. Hence, she decided to practice as well.

The same applied to Tasha and Ayaka. They couldn't help but feel something would happen soon, not for this mission, but for another thing. Ayaka had told them about Kai's conversation with Ria. Although she didn't know the topic of their conversation, it must be something serious. The only thing they could do was to get stronger.

Time passed by smoothly. Before long, they realized they had spent a month without doing anything, except gathering in this small room and minding their own business.

Suddenly, the door was slammed open as the student council, Bryan, came inside the room. Mia didn't accompany him this time.

"You are really crazy… No, do they want to kill you or something?" Bryan handed a paper to him, looking very frustrated. He also didn't forget the document he brought with him.

Kai tilted his head, not understanding why he acted this way. He looked at the mission and opened his mouth.

Mission: SS Magical Beasts Subjugation.

Reward: Unknown

Objective: They have been spotted in Yukon Territory, specifically around the Ross River. You will bring Eagle Group with you and head to British Columbia Military Base and meet Lieutenant General Brad.

"I have received the mission." Kai nodded and bowed his head slightly. "Thank you, Student Council President."

"Why are you acting so calm? Do you not know what that place is?" He slammed his door.

"I know. It's a bit far from the current front line… I mean, it's in the middle of magical beasts." Kai nodded as he recalled the map in his head.

"That's right. This is a suicide mission!" Bryan was angry because of Michelle. He had been acting like an older brother the whole time she was with him, so he was a bit frustrated by the mission. He took out the map and presented it to him. There were two colors, red and green, with a thin yellow line separating them around Whitehorse. This was the map of the front line, with the green area being their territory.

"Look at this!" Bryan looked at Kai and pointed his finger at the map. "If you penetrate inside the Magical Beasts territory, your group will be surrounded easily!"

"I have anticipated it." Kai still had no change of expression. Before Bryan said anything, Kai explained his reasoning. "Firstly, the distance between the front line and Ross River isn't really that far. I also have a hundred people in this mission, so we have our own firepower. Considering the importance of this mission, they should give us elites, not new soldiers.

"Secondly, we have my ears to locate the enemies and choose the best path. We have Sis- Tasha Carter's Space Magic, so we can escape anytime if something goes wrong. Evan will be a great help in this part as well to ensure everything goes smoothly by healing all the soldiers in need. Then, I can use Isabelle Fisher's eyes to look around.

"This is not me being overconfident. It's just I know that I need to do it and try to formulate the plan this whole time. Though the Eagle Group is a surprise for me, it shouldn't change the plan so much. In fact, I want to ask you, student council president. Why do you have this exaggerated reaction?" Kai narrowed his eyes.

Michelle also thought the same thing because it wasn't easy to make him like this. Even she could only see him being like this once before.

"It's because I am worried about you! You are going there without a single help!"

Kai twitched his eyebrows, listening to Bryan's heartbeat. He didn't tell a lie, but it was also not the whole truth.

Suddenly, Michelle opened her mouth in surprise. "Ah, Lieutenant General Brad… His full name... Is it Brad Matthew?"

"Matthew? I feel like I heard it somewhere…" Kai looked at her before glancing at Bryan and realizing something. "Isn't President's surname Matthew?"

Bryan gritted his teeth but didn't answer him. Yet, the answer was obvious for everyone.

"If I may ask, is President getting angry because of this?" Kai asked carefully. He wanted to see his reaction and learned what kind of circumstances this mission had.

"He… He is a madman!" Bryan said slowly, but every word contained his anger. "He would rather sacrifice anyone to succeed in the mission. He is a monster that feels nothing and only fulfills his duty as a soldier.

"At one time, he decided to sacrifice my mother in the front line! He only told me that it was her honor to be useful to him. I was devastated because our family was actually a warm family before my mother died. After she died, he started playing with other women. I hate him so much! And I don't want you guys to be sacrificed by that demon!" Bryan gritted his teeth, explaining everything. Even a tear almost fell down from the corner of his eyes.

Kai and the others were stunned. The cool and reserved Student Council President could look this weak. Michelle never knew anything about his past, since he always hid it behind his strong front.

Knowing this, Kai suddenly fell into silence. 'If everything he said is true, I need to remake my plan… Besides, I am not the leader of that base, so I won't be able to voice out my concern. That's why I might only go to the base, receive the order, and immediately set off… It might be better for me this way.'

While Kai was formulating his plan, Michelle calmed Bryan down while Tasha patted his shoulders. She came closer and whispered something. "If needed, you can use my Space Magic again and bring everyone out of there. Of course, I don't hope to see such a situation, but you can simply report it to the Government afterward. Unless they are fools, they will blame that general."

Kai also had the same thought. 'That's right. I still have another weapon if the other person wants to use me like that. The Government is currently in a pinch because they want to stop me from being poached by the EU Base. If they don't back me up this time, they will be foolish since I can use this accident as my reason to leave the base.'

Kai took a deep breath before saying, "Don't worry. I will make sure to protect everyone. Besides, the real reason why I need to bring Eagle Group must be Evan. With the joint efforts of the Graham, Young, and Fisher families, he should know that it will be troublesome for him… Of course, if he isn't insane… I'm sorry if I'm rude."

Bryan calmed his heart down as he stared at his eyes for a minute. "Fine. If you need anything, just inform me. The worry is because of that demon, so I am also responsible for this."

"Sure." Kai nodded. "Has the Eagle Group gotten the information about this mission?"

"I am going there right now," Bryan answered.

"How about we come together?"

"Alright. Come with me… I think the whole group should meet them as well." Bryan thought for a moment and nodded since Kai must want to discuss it with them.

Kai nodded and followed him along with the rest, except Sanae.

However, the atmosphere turned heavy the moment they entered the Eagle Group's room. Evan and Isabelle looked away.

Bryan explained the mission to them, and Isabelle handled the matter beautifully.

They offered them seats, but Bryan decided to leave after informing them. So this was another show-off between Lion Group and Eagle Group.

Kai was frowning upon the atmosphere and sighed. "I assume you already know about the reason why your group is chosen as a part of this mission, right?"

Not only Isabelle, but Evan also said out of reflex. "I'm sorry."

Isabelle looked at him with guilt. She suddenly remembered the past case where she needed to stay away from him. "In the past, I—"

Kai shook his head and stopped her. "I'm going to say this first. The past is the past. I have forgotten where I put the document, so no point in talking about it anymore. I was also at fault back then because I was angry."

"No. It was my fault." Isabelle shook her head.

"Anyway, we are going to join hands for this mission. I want to ask you and your group first, do you have any problem with this mission?"

"No. As long as you are alright with us, then we are going to follow your order."

Eve and Eva didn't say anything, but their eyes locked at Michelle, a woman that obliterated them. They nodded furiously as if they were scared of her.

"I revere the strong, you are strong, so I will follow your order." The guy who fought Ayaka previously said while the last guy only nodded his head.

"I don't know about the soldiers, so I will probably have my group and your group team up the whole time. Hence, I am going to make ten groups with ten people each while we are hunting them." Kai took a deep breath and said, "Now, I will explain the details…"
