Alice thanked everyone for being over as they left, he took time to center himself.
His esper link went off as he meditated, he used winter shard to answer.
He was called to the briefing room again, he sighed and got up after getting back to his normal state.
Nine looked at everyone who walked in and sighed in disappointment yet again.
"I'm sending your team on another assignment, this one is about to be particularly difficult.
We have intel that there is a string of mentia eliminations, we need you to get Reconnaissance on them.
This was the last location of the last operatives we sent to find this organization. " She reported.
They left the room and prepared for the mission,
Alice decided to take a motorcycle for this mission.
Sho decided to invite himself on the ride, Alice allowed him
to join reluctantly.
They drove through the streets, Sho got comfortable holding him much to Alice's dismay.
They arrived at the operation location, Alice looked through winter shard's vision to see
what is going on on the ground?
Cheryl showed up with Luca as she drove up wildly on a moped, Luca appeared to be incredibly distressed from the ride.
They hid their vehicles to walk down the hill as they concealed themselves, the organization they were investigating was in a light
building.
They walked in and saw people in white cloaks conversing in the halls.
The greeter at the door congratulated "Welcome, new children."
They walked through the elegant hallway to an auditorium, two people were on the stage between a non-euclidian altar: a man in an elegant black dress and a man in an elegant white suit.
Alice was unnerved by the people and the stage as well, he gave him dark aura vibes.
The people around him cheered in ignorance, he tried to back off and was blocked by people.
He felt the magnetic darkness around him, it was becoming overwhelming. Sho grabbed Alice as he paved the way.
He took Alice to another room, Alice began hyperventilating uncontrollably before he was able to breathe again.
Luca and Cheryl showed up after, they also felt the same feeling.
They walked around find to info on their current location, they broke into an office and found an open computer.
Alice grabbed as much info
as he could but closed the laptop and unplugged his esper link after feeling another person in the room
"Need counseling, my child?" A voice guessed.
They turned around to see the
woman from the stage behind them.
She chimed in "It's rude to come into people's offices uninvited, but I'll let it slide this once..." She strode away silently, her miasma-like presence faded as she left.
Each step she took felt like an eternity as they hid their fear before they escaped the room.
Alice and the others left with the information they could get, Sho felt unease during the whole ride back to the academia. Alice handed over his esper link and Nine was shocked by the information that was displayed.
Also, by how adorable Alice looks in cross-play from his cosplay file after accidentally opening them.
Everyone stared at him while holding back their grins, he used a winter shard to freeze his esper link and then threw it on the ground.
It broke into non salvageable micro crystals as he rolled his eyes.
He walked away and pretended he wasn't embarrassed in front of many people.
