Sam Pov
We're on the field right now solving a mystery about the lost sheep. A part of our activity in Logic, we need to earn a badge to be able to move in Advance class. They said that Logistics will be more fun in the advanced class, so I want to level up.
"Sam do you want to join us later for coffee?"- Zen asks, they are my team in this activity.
" Sure"- and smile at her
"Okay, see you at 5 pm at the cafe"- she said and continue solving the puzzle
I read the question one more time and finally, I get the answer. This is it we may win this time, Nick and his teammate always win when we have an activity like this.
" Here let's try this"- I said. I start to move the puzzle until I get my answer.
"A book?"- Kia said with a confused look
"Do you remember the book that we saw under the tree?"- I said, we look each other and start to run there. Thankfully no one gets it yet
" Come on read it"- Zen said, I open the book and read it.
"Go to the garden, find the mirror and look clearly for the lost sheep"- What does this mean?
" Let's try to see it"- Kai said and we run into the garden and saw the mirror in the big tree
We look and stayed there for almost 10minutes but nothing happens. I need to think, it says that we should look clearly. Look clearly, ugh! Wait! is that a door? I walk closer to the mirror and look at our back but there's no door in there. I smile and push the door that I saw inside the mirror, suddenly the mirror move slowly.
"Woah how did you see that?"- Zen asks
" Let's go and solve this mystery"- we get inside and we saw the sheep made of gold.
"We won!"- Kai said happily
" Oh we're late"- Nick said when they get there, Haha they lose this time. I'm so happy now!
"Congratulations, well done."- Sir Ferrer said
"We should do this often sir"- I said, doing was fun and will energize you.
" You will, anyway here's your prize"- then give us a badge made of gold. Nick has already four of these, I only have two.
"Thank you sir"- we said then get it
"Okay, we will end our class here go and clean yourself"- Sir said and leave
"Bet you're happy now"- Nick said while we're walking going back to our rooms.
"Very happy"- and smile at him
" Good for you, anyway we have a meeting later"- he said
"What time?"- I ask
" Maybe 5"- he answered
"Okay, I'll try to catch up since I agree to have a coffee with Zen and Kai"- he just looks at me and nod
" Just make sure to be there"- he said
"Yeah don't worry"
"Okay see you later"- he said, then we separate ways
My body feels itchy I badly need a shower right now. Tomorrow is a rest day so it's okay for us to go outside the school. We usually go to the malls and restaurants when it's our rest day Of course to enjoy and relax for a while. Alright, I'm done ready to go.
….
At the Cafe
" Were glad to have you here Sam"- Kai said
"Yeah right, like you're always with Nick"- Zen add
" He is my friend that's why"- for them not to misunderstand our relation
"We know that, anyway tell us your story."- Zen
"Like how it feels like to be at the outside world?"- Kai add
" It was fun, but it's more fun here"- I said and take a sip of my coffee
"Did you already meet the Ichi, Ni, and San? They were popular in here, His Majesty always praise them for catching Dukorado allies"- I almost spit out my coffee on what Zen said
" Yeah, I heard that. Did they never reveal their faces here?"- I ask
"Never, like no one knows their faces because we also don't know when did they leave Paraden"- Kai answered
" I see"- so no one knows
"You and your friends are with them right"- there putting me under too much pressure right now
" Right, we're their juniors but we never did a mission with them yet. Still on the training that's why we go back here"- I said
"Oh so how do they look like?"- why are they asking too many questions? Ugh, this is bad!
"They look…."
Ringgg!!!...
What a lifesaver, whoever this is I will thank him/her later. I smile at them and pick up my phone.
"Excuse me for a minute"- and go outside. that was close
NICK POV
" Hello"- she answered
"Where are you?"- I ask, the meeting is going to start
" Still at the cafe"- she said
"Hurry up and excuse yourself. We got important information"- then hung up. We're not going to start until we're complete.
" What did she say?"- Greg ask
"She's on her way here, let just wait for 10 more minutes"- I answered
" How can she be late right now? This is not usually her"- Recca said
"Maybe she had to do something important"- Belle said trying to help her
" Stop it all of you, let just wait"- they're too noisy
"Let me get a coffee"- Jc said and stand up
" I'll go with you"- then Belle followed him
I close my eyes for a moment to relax my mind. It's been hard for us since we can't call our Shujin's, they were out of reach. Sir Chan said that they were too busy all day and doesn't have time to check their phones. Aradonia is strict when it comes to teaching and training someone, they were too persistent to teach. That's why they're known for having a great warrior, they train so hard.
"I'm sorry...I'm late.."- finally she's here
" Sit and let's start"- I said since I saw JC and Belle coming.
"Where have you been? You look tired"- Fiona ask her
"No I'm fine, I was just finishing my work in the library since I volunteer to work for the afternoon shift"- what a liar!
"You're still volunteering huh?"- Recca ask
" Yeah"- she just simply answered
"Let's start already"- Did they forgot that was here?
Greg and Fiona start to stand up and present what they got. After that, the other follows we divided ourselves to do different tasks. It will be easy for us to work by two so that it won't be too obvious.
"Thankfully I volunteer, that leads me to find out something"-Sam said
" So what did you got?"- Tim ask
"I had this book about the history of Paraden, but suddenly the librarian gets it from me and said that it was forbidden. We were not allowed to read those books, especially those books that talk about what happened 10 years ago"- she answered
"Why? What happened 10 years ago?"- Belle asks
"Dukarado and his allies escape and that kills many lives here in Paraden, including the Queen"- I answered
"Do you think this has to do with the death of the Queen?"- Greg asks. We all know about what happened 10 years ago, we also lost someone important to us on that day. That's why we choose to train and be the protector of Paraden.
"Maybe, because base on what I heard since the Queen died His Majesty doesn't allow anyone to talk about the Queen or anything about the history of Paraden"- Sam answered
"So that's the reason why no one teaches about the greatness of the Queen. My parents said that she was a very brave person and she writes many books about Paraden, but I did not see even one book that she writes in the library"- Fiona said
"Don't you think this is a start for us? To dig more about this and find out more?"- I said and look at them
"I totally agree with Nick, there could be more about this if we will look into it. We just need to get that book in the library without someone looking"- Bea said
"Did you see where did the librarian put it?"- Recca asks and we look at Sam
"Well, I saw him put it in a chest near his table and lock it"- she answered
"Okay, we need to get that chest, but we must think what to do. How we are going to get that without him seeing it? That would be the difficult part"- Recca said
"How about we scan the chest and made an exact duplicate of it?"- Tim suggested
"Great Idea, but who will do that?"- I ask
"Me"- Fiona answer
"Are you sure? You never visit the library before"- she hates the smell of books and doesn't like to read, since she was bullied and lock inside a library alone until morning. After that she never visited a library, she just uses her book tablet and relies on technology too much.
"That's why I will try to overcome my phobia"- she answers
"Let me go with you, it would be nice if we will work together"- Tim said, well they always work together because they are both techy people.
"Okay"- and she smiles
"Then let's do this, you can go and enjoy your rest day tomorrow."- I said and they leave one by one.
This is it I think we're getting closer to solve this mission. We really want to finish this mission and rest for a while. Well, we still visit the outside world on our rest day, because of the sudden virus that affects many people all over the countries we are advised to have online classes, so we don't have a reason to go out here.
