Ch.18

"There's 5 extra which isn't what we expected."

A bunch of adult men and women were in a dark room. They all sat at a huge rounded table with no one at the head.

"To my unexpected surprise, each S rank that is in this room asked and told the children about the future. That wasn't the surprising part however. What surprised me is how each student agreed."

The room continued to stay silent.

"Infinity, Gamma, Heatwave, Photography, and Quirk. You each chose an extra person, making the student count go to 200. Now it wasn't apart of the plan to have teams of 4, but it'll work. With the amount of countries in this world, we will need all the numbers we can. We would have asked for more, but it would have seemed suspicious. Heck, it already does."

The room stayed silent.

"Most of the children that we have chosen come from rich backgrounds. That's why they accepted as pride and fortune is what they see after this war. Some students were dirt poor and didn't have much to lose from this."

They remained silent.

"In a couple of weeks, the island training camp will be completed. From there, we'll train the students under one roof. That is the best course of action. Until then, teach them the basics in things. On the island, their knowledge over things will advance tremendously."

Like they knew they were done speaking, the people got up and exited the room. Some had smiles, some had frowns, and other were neutral.

....

The time was 9:30 am. The sun was shining down over the sea as a man was sitting at the end of a dock. He had on black shoes with grey pants. He wore a black shirt with a grey unzipped jacket over it. A black cap was present on his head with his hair tied in a pony tail.

This was Daemon.

'I got here early because I was nervous I'd be late..'

Daemon sighed as he played with his fingers. With his vision, he could see the entire ocean clearly. All the fish, coral reefs, and even extinct monsters that...well aren't extinct anymore.

After some time passed, Daemon could heard creaking coming from behind him.

"Hello Daemon."

Daemon got up and patted his clothes off. He then turned around and saw a beautiful woman. She had golden, long hair with blue eyes. She had red eye liner around her eyes as well. Her slighly longs legs were glistening against the sun.

'He really went all out huh?'

"Well? How is it?"

Lucifer checked himself out. He had slightly longer nails and were colored pink. He wore brown boots that stopped just under his kneecaps.

"You look great. Honestly, it's a privilege to be out with you like this."

Hearing this, Lucifer covered his face while looking away. Daemon slighly chuckled and put his hands into his pockets.

"Are you ready?"

"Hm? Ah, yes. I'm ready.."

Lucifer put back on his regular frowny face and they started walking down the pier together.

"So I listened around and heard they'll be here by 2:00. Until then, we'll scope out the port. We would usually get a feel for the scene a couple of days before the actualy mission, but its fine."

Daemon told him of his plan and Lucifer nodded. The two then got off the dock and onto the brick road that stretched out left and right. The port seemed like something out of Assassins Creed.

'The dark part of the city strikes again...'

Daemon wouldn't be surprised if someone came up to them and merked them. That's the daily life around here. Since the crime is high too, cops and hunters wouldn't visit this place, making it the perfect place to do illegal things.

"For now, let's explore. You've never been here before right?"

Daemon then reached for Lucifers hand and held it. 'Eh? W-What is he doing?..' He covered his face with his right hand while looking away. Daemon lightly smiled at that and held his hand tighter.

They then walked walked away together and started adventuring around. They tasted different foods, took pictures, had their picture done, and even went on carnival rides.

They had a lot of fun.

"This was fun Lucy."

The two sat down on a bench that had its back faced to the docks and piers. Lucifer had a balloon attached to his wrist with a star sticker on his face.

"Yeah. I was embarrassed at first, but over time I really started having fun. Thanks James."

"No. Thank YOU. I've never been on a date before, and you treated me right."

"Huh?..I..treated you right?.."

They went silent after that with a huge horn going off behind them. Daemon and Lucifer both knew that it was time.

"Are you...ready?.."

Daemon looked down and noticed that they still had their hands together. Instead of like before when Daemon was grabbing his hand, they each had their fingers intertwined.

"Hm? Ah, yes."

Lucifer didn't notice, so he was confused at the confusion in his voice. 'Well...its not hurting anyone. His hands are quite soft too..'

Daemon then looked up and stared at a sign. Reflecting off the sign was him and Lucifer with people coming off ships behind them.

They had massive crates that were very secured. 'And there he is...Jamie Gilbert..' He was a short, fat man with a molecule. He had on formal clothing and a cane to boot.

(Jamie Gilbert. A small merchant who makes big deals. Earth magic, but can barely use it. Age, 20 but has a cane like hes an old man.)

Lucifer was looking too while nodding.

(All we have to do is gather some sort of information. After that, we're done.)

(Yes.)

The two then got up, hand in hand. Daemon had his left hand in his pocket however while keeping his head low. Lucifer kept his right hand on his purse strap while keeping a slight smile for appearance.

They walked over to ramp that led down onto the pier and walked down it. 'They're putting up a cloaking shield huh?' A cloaking shield is ball like object that expands 100 feet in all directions. It works by bending light, making an invisible like effect.

"Alright. I'm stopping here. You go on."

Lucifer looked at at him and nodded. He then started walking away, but was tugged back as if he was anchored by something.

"Sorry.."

Daemon let go of his hand. 'I...forgot..' Lucifer stared at his hand as it went down. 'I...forgot..' Lucifer shook his head and started walking away.

Lucier walked down the pier with his hand on his purse. 'Hm? A cloak shield? Pretty smart, considering you can't see in them or hear things too..' As Lucifer walked past it, someone grabbed his arm and pulled him into the invisible field.

"Boss! Look at what I found!"

There were grown men all around. Some had huge bodies while others had stick bodies.

"OOOOO!! YOU GOT A NICE ONE RICKY!!"

The men cheered out as they stopped what they were doing and slowly formed a circle around Lucifer and the man grabbing his arm. 'This...wasn't the plan..'

Lucifer counted the men and found it to be around 20 or so. 'These guys are bandits too..' On their arms, they all had symbols of a cowboy like hat with a mask. Whenever you apply for an occupation, you get a certain tattoo. Although for bandits, they get that tattoo when they kill 10 or so people.

"Hey! What's the ruckus about?! The seller and I are negotiating!"

A huge man came out from behind a curtain. His muscles rivaled a suitcase that was packed. He had an exaggerated mustache that went off his face.

"Look boss! We found a good one!"

The man yanked on Lucifers arms. 'Alright. I..can do it..' Lucifer thought over a plan as the giant man walked up.

"Ohhoh! You really did! Was she alone though? Or was she with someone? We may kill, but we have standers, no?"

"Uh..yeah, she did. Hes over there."

He pointed to a man with his hands on a rail. He was starring out at the sea.

"Smh. Hes weak! Take her underground! We'll have fun later!"

All the men around cheered. 'Now.' Lucifer hit his arm away and kicked him aside his face, making him fly into another man.

"Huh?! Oh, your defiant?! Capture her!"

Lucifer threw his bag down and smiled. 'For my first mission, things went sort of wrong, but I must admit that this is way better than eavesdropping!'

'This is fun!'
