Day 1 2/2

"…Both the 'Airburst' operations and the 'Assistant' support are divided into 5 levels of missions or targets according to the difficulty and other factors, from Jack (J), Knight (C), Queen (Q), King (K), and the highest rank, Ace (A). For Queen rank missions and above, which have limited access to their information, will mostly be handled by Charles. Each level has a separate time frame and details…"

The lecture continued for a while, followed by an intense training session for the new staff.

"…That's roughly all about the 'Intel Board' and ways to connect to databases. The rest will be yours to develop through experience."

Yu said as she put both hands on her waist, proud that everything seemed to be going well.

"Oh, about the case on our hand right now…"

The glasses-wearing senior walked back to her seat and touched her finger on the screen of a device that looked like a clear glass stand board called the Intel board. The files were displayed neatly before she picked one of them and slid her finger in the direction of the glass board in front of Ravyn.

*ring*

A message box was sent to the purple-haired girl immediately.

"Take a look at it."

When Ravyn tapped her finger on the box, the mission title and details appeared.

"Whoa, that's convenient."

At present, when the feature phone is just getting prevalent, these futuristic technologies look like magic to her, and she can't help but commend them.

"What a flat reaction… When I first saw it, I walked around and even pried on the carpet on the floor just to find hidden cables. But I couldn't find any because they didn't have one. How embarrassing…"

Yu covered her cheeks, recalling the past.

"Ahem… better get back on track. What you are reading is a case of three explosions around the neighborhood this month. Even if it's a Jack-level mission, don't take it lightly. We don't get general jobs here. And because the police department secretly asked to make it urgent, we had to race against time as well."

Ravyn swept her eyes down and found the mission duration, indicating that it had less than 40 hours left, and was counting down.

"You can think of this as a practice to adapt to this place as well. Now, do you have any more questions?"

…Well, an urgent job on the first day. Sounds good to me…

The new employee now immediately understands why Intelligence has the smallest number in AB Assistant.

"No, thank you."

Ravyn bowed to Yu one more time before ardently beginning her investigation.

…Most Donkey-related missions are King-level and above. If the task quota is cleared, I'll be able to choose to receive missions and access to their high-level information from Head Charles. I must be accepted as quickly as possible. No matter what…

######

A few hours have passed.

Despite Ravyn still being clumsy about what she's just learned, she's able to access AB's personal satellite, a pervasive-eyed surveillance camera, and compare the traces until some clues were found. She turned to the right to find a circle with the organization logo in the upper left corner in red.

…Airburst is still on another case. No, we have no time to lose…

The purple-haired girl who wanted to finish her job as quickly as possible decided to go out for investigation by herself. She hurriedly got out of her seat and dashed towards the exit.

"Hey Ravyn, where are you going?" Yu asked.

"The meeting point"

"What?"

"I have sent you evidence and analysis that outlines the time and location of the bomber's rendezvous. If nothing goes wrong, they will meet in less than two hours from now."

Ravyn ran out of the building to the AB elevator outside. Yu, who couldn't stop her, turned back to the screen and opened up the message box sent by the new co-worker to read.

"What a keen girl we have~ Let's see…"

The big sister pushed up her glasses. And the AB icon in the corner of her screen, which is normally red for no more than 15 minutes, has now turned green.

######

Ravyn ran out of the nearest elevator station and hid in the corner of an abandoned warehouse that was presumably the meeting point.

Shortly after, two men came in.

"This is not what was agreed upon."

The burly man strikes up the conversation in an annoyed tone.

"Calm down, brother. Don't just speak for yourself like that, " replied the young man with long, disheveled hair.

*Bam!*

The big man swung his punch and slammed the opponent violently, causing a wave to shake the entire warehouse. The smoke and the belongings were scattered all over the place.

"Blowing the city market to dust... Isn't it too much?!"

…Bingo…

Ravyn, hidden in the dark corner, was glad that her prediction was correct.

"So how's that different from the target you chose?"

When the dust around there started to fade,

It appears that the messy-haired one was able to withstand a large fist that attacked him with the tip of the sickle's handle. The weapon he wielded was filled with such terrifying energy that it radiated out into a forest green color, which is undoubtedly the power of Lost Wisdom. In a moment, blood oozed from the thin slash around the giant man's neck, forming a red loop. But all of that wasn't what the covertly observed girl was most interested in. The recent heavy impact blew the hair that obscured the face of the man holding the sickle, revealing a tattoo that resembled a donkey pattern on Undre's hand.

…Donkey?!...

Ravyn's eyes widened.

The huge man, unfazed by his wound, silently stared straight at the other party.

"Now that's more like it, Drew. You have no right to give an opinion in the first place. Just take this stuff and do what you have to."

The disheveled-haired man conceitedly continued to speak. Perhaps because there was no overshadowing of strong fury towards Undre, Ravyn could clearly feel how powerful those with superpowers were. Despite it being several meters away, she still felt that life-threatening menace up to here. The girl's body couldn't stop shaking that she had to hold onto it. Although she is fully aware that she must not let herself be seen, but to see the tattoo on his face clearly, Ravyn insisted on moving closer to them. She didn't even think about what to do if he was from Donkey, but the feeling that she was getting closer to her goal prevented her from letting this chance slip away. Ravyn stared at the target, eyes unblinking. Little by little, her steps moved towards the man with messy hair.

…Just a few more steps. I need to know this…

The purple-haired girl repeatedly told herself in her mind. But that was the wrong decision.

*clack*

Her feet trampled on the rusty pipe on the floor, making a noise.

"Who's that?!" said Drew.

Both of the dangerous men turned to the source of the sound at the same time.
