Unit 9

Asura and the others in unit nine arrived at the teleportation zone not too long after introducing each other. 

However, Asura could have sworn that Vela was also in his group or would be travelling together with him. Yet since the morning, even having dinner for the past two days. She seemed to leave before he and Verana finished their morning training.

'I hope she isn't pushing herself too hard.' He thought while their group stepped into the brilliant light.

Meanwhile, several hundred miles south, already waiting for the rest of her unit, Vela stood in her silver armour while overlooking the students and instructors who appeared from the portals.

She stood upright, with a straight face, the epitome of discipline.

Beside her were four reserve Valkyrie knights who seemed to be her guards for this mission. Despite looking so focused with her eyes narrowed, her pupils darted around, trying to find somebody in the crowd.
