(From MC Perspective)
“Beep” “Beep” “Beep”
As I was going through the reports, I received a sudden call. Unlike, My wrist watch, the communication here is actually rune type communication.
It’s good that Captain Tyler had already registered my identity. So it’s no problem for me to attend the call.
Seeing that rune buzzing with violet color.
I pressed my palm on it, The rune scanned palm print and then connected the call. A tiny holographic image of a person hovering above the rune circle. His appearance is a bit vague, but I knew he might be some informer.
The Hazy silhouette also uses the rune magic circle. Seeing the appearance of Vincent, he is stunned. But quickly composed himself. Because a few days ago, everyone received the detail of new part timer in Captain Tyler’s team.
But he had never expected the part timer would be so young, He quickly calmed himself and asked, “You must be Vincent Carey, Am I right?”
When the informer was talking, his information was already shown on the screen.
[Name: Broody Watson]
[Status: lvl.2 Tool Mage (Tool- Kitchen Knife)
[Occupation: Grade 2 informer]
[Address: Browncreek City]
Seeing his magic power, I twitched. Then I glanced at his other details. When he finished his words, I turned towards him and replied, “Yes, I’m a newly joined Part timer, Vincent Carey. How may I help you?”
I don’t want to beat around the bush, since the information is showing him as a Grade 2 informer. This guy might want to convey something.
Broody Watson nodded but he didn’t know whether to tell him or not. Vincent is just a newly appointed kid, I need to better tell Captain Tyler.
Seeing this guy dragging along, I knew his hesitation. So I commented, “Mr. Broody, Captain Tyler had given me permission to attend the calls and make a report about it. So you can be at ease and tell me your intel.”
Broody sighed in relief, looking like Captain Tyler had already made arrangements for this kid. So he decided to tell him.
“I spied upon a few rogue mages in recent weeks to collect intel. Inorder to make sure, I spent few more days and I came across very serious matter.” Broody explained in a solemn tone. In order not to miss any details and seeing Vincent’s age, He conveyed it slowly without missing any words.
While Broody began to explain, I had already started to record it on the virtual screen. This is my first call, using a recorder will be helpful for making reports. As Broody began to explain it seriously, I sat up straight and tried to listen more attentively.
Seeing Vincent’s calm expression, Broody nodded and continued further, ” Two days after in little Mint town, the rogue mages of Poison Dagger were planning something to do. I don’t know what but according to those rogue mages, it’s a very important event for Poison Dagger. So please convey it to Captain as quickly as possible.” After reporting it he ended the call.
Seeing the call ended, I raised my eyebrows. “Little Mint town , isn’t it the town they went to investigate this morning.”
After confirming it, I contacted Captain Tyler through the same runic circle.
At the same time,
Captain Tyler and his team were conversing with old man Minzoe. Suddenly he received a call, noticing it was from Vincent. He is surprised, “I told that kid, Don’t call me unless something serious” He muttered to himself.
Then he quickly excused himself and walked out of the clinic and walked to the police air car while attending the call, “Vincent, What happened?”
This time there is no projection of a hologram of Captain Tyler. But without minding it, I told him the information collected by Mr. Broody.
A couple of seconds later, “Broody did a good job, otherwise we would be clueless about it.” Captain Tyler uttered, then he encouraged Vincent a little more to work diligently. Then he ended the call.
After the call with the Captain, I realized their mission won’t be easy. Even If I get a chance to do field work, I need to do it with caution. As a level 2 Mage Broody is spending multiple days to collect information. Which shows that enemies are not soft permissions.
I held my chin up and ponder, Without resources I will reach lvl.2 after 3 years of magic practice. If that’s the case then it will become difficult to contend with prodigies of those Yellow River Academy.
So it’s better to set some small goals before that. I need to reduce the time it takes to reach 3 years. In this way I can reach lvl.2 before graduating from the academy. Raising my chin, I felt this goal is feasible as long as I consume resources.
“Resources are not problem for me, As long as I trick and beat those students they will hand over me their resources. On top of it, there is also that scholarship ship program ” As I muttered various calculations came to my mind.
It doesn’t matter If I beat those students and collect resources from them. Because school encourages competition between Mages. But If I do it outside and get involved in robbery there might be a chance to hit an iron plate. So it’s better to do it in school for a while. .
After setting a small goal for myself, I focused on reading reports. Especially those reports which were week old, it will help me keep in update on recent issues.
…
Time Progresses,
Blue Wing hotel, Little Mint Town.
Vice Captain Alan successfully collected the intel and also spotted those thugs. He knew in a few seconds those guys would follow him. So, he walked out of the hotel without any worry.
At the same time, the old fatty boss of the thugs made the decision. He tries to sit upright but his huge fat belly makes it difficult for him to do so.
After adjusting himself, He looked at his thug friends and said, “Okay, What you said also makes some sense? Let’s move before that human gets away.”
Hearing confirmation from the boss , the thugs cheered up and immediately stood up from their seats one after another.
The fatty boss stood up and led them towards the outside. Before going outside they need to come up with a good lie, If the Old Mage tries to intercept them then he would cause some trouble.
The old mage sat behind his desk, He is in a good mood right now. In his mind he is stimulating various scenarios to kill that human. Just as he was thinking, he noticed the thugs were moving out as a team.
His expression frowns as far as he remembers there is basically no mission right now. If one of them moved out, it wouldn’t have raised his suspicion. But they are going out as a team.
“Stop!” The Old Mage Called out.
Five of them came to halt, the fatty boss frowned but soon he composed himself. He doesn’t want to offend the old mage. So he turned towards him and asked, “What is it? Respected Mage Sir.”
Obviously the old man’s expression eased after hearing his flattery, so he asked, “Where are you going as a team?”
The fatty boss had expected this question. But if he says something unconvincing it will definitely raise his eyebrows. So he replied, ” We feel like cooked up in this hotel. So we decided to take a walk.”
This answer was so simple that the old mage’s brain believed it completely. Especially seeing his wiggling belly he laughed out loud and said, ” I don’t know about others, But you especially need some walking to do.”
The thugs enraged hearing the ridicule. But they knew about their own status and Mage status. So they controlled their anger, even if their Master wouldn’t care if they died by his hands. For their Master they are just disposable.
The fatty boss suppressed his anger and squeezed out some smile before nodding back at him and walked out with his friends.
One of the thugs already caught the glimpse of Alan walking towards the right direction. So he informed his boss. The Fatty Boss commented, “Okay, Let’s move quicker.”
Soon everyone moves towards the right direction, though fatty is dragging them behind. None of them dare to utter their displeasure. All of them hope to see the human before getting delayed by their own boss.
Across two streets in the right direction, Vice Captain Alan is waiting for the thugs. He didn’t move away further in the right direction; he had deliberately waited for the thugs to see him.
After waiting for a couple of minutes, he saw the silhouette of the thugs, especially the haggard expression of the fatty. Seeing that he don’t know whether to laugh or cry. He didn’t inform Captain Tyler after walking out of the hotel. He wanted to collect some intel from these thugs.
These thugs especially happen to be normal humans. He has some common illusion spells to know the truth. It will be a piece of cake for him to collect more intel now.
