'That's quite a status they gave him. Why did Alice do that?' he thought in confusion, but he didn't make a big deal out of it.
Having one of his subordinates in that group was great, so he was fine with that. Besides, the sooner that young man grew up, the better.
"Is there anything else?" Gray asked, and the man in front of him nodded.
"The King granted Matthew Dietrich the mission to go to the City of Clans on a covert mission to uncover several traitors. I couldn't see the mission's contents, but according to my suspicions, they're after the guys we've been following."
At this, Gray Allen frowned even more and stood up suddenly.
"He was sent to that city? Is that guy crazy? How could he send someone so weak to investigate traitors?" he asked angrily, and the man in front of him chuckled a little.
"I thought the same thing, but you may not believe me, Sir, but Matthew is not as weak as when he left.
He seems to have strength above 5,000 by now; besides, from what I found out from a document Alice had, it seems that boy was the one who completed that research given to the guild recently by 'Rose One.' The other names match; they were Matthew Dietrich and Isla Moore." Replied the man in front of Gray.
His words shocked Gray Allen, 'When did he grow up so much? He was just recently wondering me about what vampirism was.' He thought, but then he thought about his theory.
'He is... No doubt about it, who else could grow up so fast?' He thought, and a big smile formed on his face.
"That kid might be able to find some good stuff in there," Gray said, grabbing the documents he was reading.
The man in front of him also believed so.
He was one of his most powerful men, so he could see very well that Matthew Dietrich was not ordinary. He may be one of the most talented among the younger generation.
As he thought so, Gray Allen put away the papers and walked to the back desks to write a letter.
"Albert, I don't know what the King is planning by sending Matthew there, honestly. While I think he'll get good things, he's not someone we can lose." He said and finished writing the paper.
"Aren't you afraid of being wrong?" he asked, and Gray smirked.
"Afraid? When have I ever been afraid of anything? If I'm wrong, so be it. But if I'm not wrong, you have no idea of the status we could ever achieve. Besides, do you think my abilities can be easily outwitted?" Gray replied, smiling, and walked out the door, leaving Albert in shock.
He sighed then.
'This man always does things as he pleases; I really don't understand his abilities, even though I have followed him for so long,' he thought and looked at the document in his hand.
'A movement order, eh? Looks like 'The Ruin' will appear to the world again.' He thought again and disappeared among strange yellow particles that slightly dissolved the floor beneath him when they fell to the ground.
...
So, the hours passed, and a couple of days later, Matthew Dietrich stood in front of a massive City.
'Who knew, the City of Clans is just my favorite kind of City. A beautiful and mysterious City. It gives off a dark aura, full of enigmas and things to discover.' Matt smiled slightly as he looked at it from a distance.
This city was massive, even though it was not where many people lived. Its beautiful buildings captured a unique and different touch from the rest of the cities.
Although many said that this City and the Academy had been based on the Divine City to be made, the difference between one and the other was like heaven and earth.
At least in Matt's eyes, this city was several times more beautiful than the First Academy.
'Maybe Divine City is too big, and everyone tried to do the part they saw...' Matt thought.
Just then, several people came out from inside.
Ericson Lewis and some of his family members who lived in the city were among them.
"Carl, long time no see." Ericson Lewis said, waving to Matt.
