Book 1: Intermission 2

Within the Government Hall at the heart of the Capital City of the Terran Republic, Terra

Can you verify these results? Are they real? Jacob R. Ashton asks his assistant as he stares at the paper in front of him. One with the results of the new wolf girl Guardians evaluation.

The assistant nervously nods her head before answering, Ive had several people going over both the documents, the terminal on our end, and the terminal on their end, and nothing looked wrong. Everything was working. We even have recordings of her evaluations with the initial inputting of level taken out.

The official in charge of registering new Guardians sighs as he slumps into his chair. The man is wearing a black business suit with a dark blue crystal amulet hanging around his neck over the suit. One that will transform into his armor at a moments notice. He has short brown hair that matches his chair as he stares at the paper in front of him.

This this shouldnt even be possible. So what am I looking at?

The man continues planning on how shed best be taught, only to eventually realize that he isnt the one who will be teaching her.

Right. I left that position when I handed down the university

A few seconds pass in silence with the assistant nervously gripping her clipboard to her chest until out of nowhere, the man grins and says, On the other hand, it might not be a bad thing that I stepped down from the headmaster seat.

His assistant tilts her head in confusion.

Oh, right, he says, clearing his throat. Well, the various universities are going to have a field day with her, fighting over who has the right to enroll her. But in the end, shell likely end up going to Lions Heart, as do almost all of the exceptional talents.

But Im not the one fighting over the talents anymore. Thats her job now.

Jacob cant help but chuckle at that thought. Then he stops a few seconds later and says, Get me Cipher on the phone. I would like to talk with him. And if possible, with the girl.

His assistant Marie Jones hurriedly nods her head and rushes away, out of his office.

Jacob tilts his head as he watches her for a second.

Despite how nervous she is, she does do a good job. Looks like hiring her to pay her back hasnt been a total wash at least.

He then shakes his head and looks down once more at the document in front of him.

After only a few minutes, Jacobs phone rings and he immediately picks it up right when his assistant forwards the call she had made to him. Then, another ten or so seconds later, Cipher picks up the phone on his side and says, Cipher here.

Hello, Cipher. Imagine how surprised I was to find the new Guardians capabilities appearing on my desk today, he immediately gets to the point of the call.

Cipher doesnt say anything for a few seconds before saying in a slightly strained voice, Youre not the only one who was surprised.

Jacob scoffs at that as he leans back in his chair. Dont give me that. I bet youre jumping for joy at having such a talent in your Association. Youve been needing more combative Guardians recently, am I right? Well now youve got one.

Yes, Cipher says immediately in a tense voice. But this will also cause problems with the other Associations, not to mention the other universities who want her.

The official just laughs without saying a word.

Seriously? Cipher mutters. You do know that this is her, right?

Jacob shuts up immediately while practically shooting to his feet and shouting, What?!

This time Cipher laughs before hanging up the call, leaving Jacob to stew over the revelation.

If shes really the one who White had him raise, then maybe those capabilities might begin to make some sense maybe.

The man continues pondering over the subject for several minutes, only to realize that he didnt get to the point of the reason he called Cipher in the first place. To ask what university she was going to go to, and to attempt to ring her into the government after her higher education is over.

That bastard just played me he mutters with a frown, only to shake his head and shout, Jones! Bring me some coffee!

Today is turning into a long day
