Book 4: Chapter 21: War Registration

Scarlet

I let out a sigh after getting to the frontlines, feeling more than a little exhausted by the shopping spree I was just put through. Which was apparently required because I grew a little over the last half a year. And apparently my old clothes dont fit me anymore. Which I highly doubt, but I go along with them anyways just because its nice to see them again before I go straight to the frontlines.

Plus they were worried about me, so I decided to go ahead and humor them a little.

Be honest, Tar says from his place on my shoulder, you just became numbed to it because of those kitsune doing it to you so much, didnt you?

I have no idea what youre talking about.

Anyways, I look around the base camp I find myself in after Amelias rather interesting method of travel. Some sort of skill that nullified the boundary between space itself between where we were before and where we are now. A rather interesting way to make a portal or teleport.

The base camp is full of Guardians without a single non-Guardian here, and it makes for a rather interesting sight. There are also quite a few buildings set up with power lines going through the base, some larger buildings where a lot of people are moving in and out, and a large black and white wall made out of neon blue barriers going around everything. All with a single gate down a straight-line path between the buildings on the other end of the base.

I glance at Amelia to find her motioning towards me with a faintly glowing white light shining around her. And when I look down at hand, I find that same light shining around me.

Which would certainly explain why no one is looking at us right now.

Im here to register my daughter with the Guardian Assault Forces, White says while undoing her Sense Nullification skill, making the white energy vanish from around the two of us.

The man glances between me and her for a moment before sitting back down as he says, Very well. I know you want it done quickly, so hand me your Guardian Identification Number and Ill hurry this up.

I blink in surprise at how polite the man is, simply because I was expecting him to be a little rude. After all, according to the internet, the man created the Golden Retreat Association just to spite the woman he cheated on. The Bloody Valkyrie.

Then again, its not really a good idea to judge someone by their public persona. Or by what the public thinks or says about them.

I reach into my pocket to grab my ID before handing it to the Golden Rider, and he accepts it before beginning to type away at the computer in front of him. Then just half a minute later, he looks up at me and says, Scarlet Asger, as a member of the Assault Forces, you will be required to kill a certain number of demons during your time serving. Unlike the Defense Forces or the Main Forces, you wont be required to serve under a leader or follow orders. You will be able to roam through the frontlines with absolute freedom as long as youre contributing to the war for the humans. He looks at the computer screen again as he finishes, But I doubt Ill have to give you any warnings over maintaining your contributions.

That last comment has my lips quirking upwards slightly in amusement.

He types something into the computer again before handing back my GID and placing a blank white paper in front of a camera next to the computer. The camera then projects an image onto the letter-sized page, printing out what looks like some sort of paper of identification. Probably something I need to have permission to move through the frontlines.

The Golden Rider looks up at me again while handing me the paper before nodding his head slightly and saying, Good luck with your hunt, Scarlet Wolf.

I nod back as I grab the paper, then we begin to leave the room, and the Class V Guardian, while shutting the door behind us.
