Alice decided to take lead on this operation, he exhaled softly as he entered the building.

The uneasy feeling that washed over became larger as He and Cheryl tried to scan the building while not looking suspicious.

They looked around the elegant room, it was filled with gold trimmings, slots, and card tables abound.

The two saw a big band on a stage to the left of the room playing lounge music to set the ambiance.

It was almost too much for them, the lavish building left a gaudy impression on both of them.

Luca and Sho worked on top of a building next door to disable the cameras.

After knocking out the signal, every visual inside the casino went dark Alice grabbed Cheryl by the hand.

The two ran to the back of the building during the confusion of the malfunctioning camera, they took off their formal wear and changed back to their uniforms while they ran down the halls as the lights returned to normal functions.

Cheryl kicked down every available door in the back of the building but found "interesting" objects and situations.

The duo would like to forget things they saw, they finally found the room they needed after so much kink-filled trial and error.

The mentia in the room was locked in vests attached to chairs and wearing optical devices on their faces, Alice and Cheryl freed all the mentia.

They lead all of them to the back of the building, and a person in a luxurious business suit walked up behind them.

They made their presence known by clapping sarcastically before touching their shoulders, they turned around to find a tall muscular blonde woman right behind them.

"I'm amazed, a couple of rookies
pulled this off. Congrats! " The woman in the suit taunted.

They charged at her but were both knocked through the wall by the shock wave made by the woman swiping her hand in front of them.

Luca and Sho caught them outside, the woman walked out the hole with a terrifying finesse.

Alice used winter shard to shoot ice at her, but she sent it back with the shock waves she made from swiping her hand like swinging a blade.

"I've got this..." Luca courageously declared.

The woman let out a condescending scoff as Luca took off a device he clipped on a belt loop, he transfer his energy into the hilt, and a blade formed.

He charged at her at full force, he blocked and dodged her incoming attacks.

The woman became agitated by his uncanny success, and Luca gave a smug grin in return.

Luca dashed through her wave swipes to get into a blind spot: the inner range.

He brought his blade close enough to her neck as a way
to send a message, she put up her hands immediately.

Academia officers arrived at the casino with police officers before, they arrested the casino owner and Alice sighed in relief.

They returned to academia and were compensated for completing the mission with no casualties, Alice went back to his dormitory to be alone.

He heard a knock on the door, he went to answer and saw Sho waiting there.

Luca and Cheryl followed in after, Alice groaned as they all piled into his dorm living room.

His fear was
somewhat subdued by the joy they gave him by keeping him company.
