East China

"Aye, aye everyone. Let me make one thing clear but before that, I am commander Bu Chen, and I am in charge of these operations ok!".

"Ok!" The Ist level mages chorused.

"Now listen carefully, I'll be the one in charge of you for these three days starting tomorrow. I don't have anything to tell you other than your mission. Tomorrow, all of you will go there and kill every magical beast in sight!" The muscular man pointed towards the high range before them, "y'all copy that!!".

"Yes sir!!!".

"Good. Now we'll be settling at the central city of east China and we will camp there tonight. When you get there, all other information needed will be related to you guys. Now move it!".

The cluster began to dismiss. Chattering came from different angles, they were so excited to embark on the long journey even forgetting that they were going on a life or death mission though they were promised to be protected and keep out of the danger zone. That may be why they all seem so relaxed.

Three buses that'll journey to the Asia continent were already on the ground, students were making choices of which to take.

Mostly, they all move into the bus according to their groups. Each person was with their teammates, jittering and laughing.

"I'll be the vanguard, while you two do the attacking".

"Magical beasts here we come to take your place".

Kai wondered what was so funny about the journey. Everyone was relaxed about this mission. Was he relaxed?, He didn't know. Kai just felt normal until when someone bucked into him very hard.

"Ouch, watch where you're going-" Kai winced as he turns to see the person that jammed him on his right ankle and he saw it was Ollie.

"Hi Kai!, Did you pick a bus for us already?, I and Kyung Mi have been looking for you" Ollie dropped his bag heavily as he sat near Kai, there was a space beside him, "Oh, Kyung Mi can stay here-, sorry about hitting you".

"Yeah, yeah, never mind- gah!" Kai exhaled loudly. Kai made sure he escaped Ollie since he arrived at school, even during commander Bu Chen's speech, Kai spotted him and was able to use that opportunity to hide from him but finally here he is with him on the same seat going for about 3 hours journey.

"Oh, men" Kai winced inwardly.

"Kyung Mi!, Here!, Kai already find a seat for us", Ollie dragged all the attention on the bus when he shouted kyung's name. All eyes were on him and Kyung Mi.

"Now, let the mumbles begin" Kai sighed as he covered his face with his hand. Not very long little mumbles grew to a very loud one.

"I bet Kyung Mi won't seat with those bunch of losers".

"Oh my gosh!, Kyung Mi haven't gotten a seat, so rude".

"I feel for her. She must have regretted why she was tagged with those losers.

Kyung Mi thought she could handle this as usual but it was very different. If she seats with Ollie, everyone that worships her will curse her and if she didn't seat with Ollie, he will feel embarrassed for calling out her after all they're teammates. It was a very hard choice for her to make.

Immediately, she saw Ollie tugging on someone who was beside him. She looked closely and saw it was Kai.

"Hey man, it's Kyung Mi". Kai wished that Ollie will stop tugging him.

"Hey, dude-".

"I have already heard you" Kai scowled at his lowest tone.

Before Ollie could turn back to call Kyung, she was already before him.

"Shift".

"Oh, sorry, here you can seat down" Ollie adjusted.

Kyung Mi sat down. The mumbles went wide but no one dares say anything bad at her hearing. Mostly if their mumbles were whispers.

Kyung Mi kept a straight face but her left eye was moving obliquely to know if Kai noticed that she was there but Kai kept the opposite of her thoughts. He was busy looking at the window with music pods in his ear.

"What a bitch!" Kyung gritted inwardly.

"Alright!, Everyone Buckle up!, Don't forget your seat belts or if you like you can leave them and sign for a death wish" The driver let out loud laughter. The bus jerked forward as it roared to life. The three buses drove off slowly, each following the other maintaining a linear motion.

Earlier before............

"Why east China?" Maria asked. She wondered what the students are doing out of the magisterium.

"Well, that's the only way to get Kai without the Hokage's attention".

"Sooo.... What is going on in East China then?, Why would students leave the magisterium to east China, far as the Asia continent".

Arwen gave a little laugh.

"What?"

"There are going to kill some magical beasts" Arwen finally said.
