 Sebastian's mission spree lasted until seven in the morning. He didn't have a second of sleep for the night. He was hoping to do it until he got exhausted and wanted to go to bed, but that feeling never arrived.

 In a span of nine long hours of monster-hunting, he completed 46 C-ranks, 18 B-ranks, and 3 A-ranks. About half of the Third-Class agents had an unexpectedly free shift that night. None of the Second-Class agents were deployed either. The previous night was a night of charity.

 Fresh from his final mission, Sebastian teleports straight to the pantry to have the most important meal of the day. Having theirs are Marko and Izzy who are usually already at the facility by 7:00.

"Where have you been?" Marko asks his co-worker who was in an incredibly unusual attire.

"Are you really going to work like that?" asks Izzy, referring to Sebastian showing up in sweatpants and slippers.

"Already did," Sebastian grabs an entire carton of milk and chugs it.

"Been working since last night," he tosses the empty carton on the bin.

"Wait, really?" Izzy couldn't believe it.

"Yep. Did every single one of you turds a favor," adds Sebastian.

"Why do you think you slept comfortably last night?"

"So, you did missions for us?" Izzy asks again.

"Your mission, his mission, everyone's missions," Sebastian answers.

"Hell, even those nameless Third-Class' missions," he adds.

"I did everything, Slim."

"That's actually impressive," Izzy comments, acknowledging the feat.

"You were doing missions since last night?" he asks again.

"I was doing one until a minute ago but I figured I'd let you maggots earn your pay," Sebastian teases.

"Either you're extremely bored or you're coping from something," Marko observes.

"Which is it?"

"Why does it have to be one of the two? Can't I just do it because I love my job and I'm very dedicated to it?"

 Both Marko and Izzy slowly turns to him. They didn't have to say a word to point out how what he said is a blatant lie.

"Fine. Don't believe me."

"Yeah, I'll just ask Benedict when he arrives," says Marko.

"Ah, whatever."

SHHOOM

 Sebastian leaves HQ and arrives an hour later. Now, dressed in formal work clothes. Normally, he'd arrive much later but he wanted to drop his swords by Kristoff as soon as possible so the man could work on it right away.

SHHOOM

 He teleports at the lobby, occupied by most of the male agents, seemingly having some sort of gathering.

"Yo," he greets, walking towards the group to join them, his damaged swords on his hand, placing it at the table.

"You guys seen Kri—"

"You yelled at Rina?" asks Marko in a firm tone, like a parent about to scold his child.

"Oh, god. Ben told you?"

"He told all of us," says Harley.

"That fucking loud mou—"

"What did you say to her?" Sean asks.

"Wha— I, I didn't say anything…"

"Benedict already told us everything, he just wants to hear it from you," Marko cuts in.

"Why are YOU guys mad at me???"

"Hey, I don't know either of you all that much yet," Izzy chimes in.

"But from what I heard, that's a bit messed up, man."

"A bit?? This asshole was a complete asshole!" Harley jumps in.

"Hey! You weren't there, and Ben probably exaggerated some shit," a futile attempt to defend himself.

"He said you told her that you were sick of her," says Marko. Everyone turns to Sebastian all at the same time.

"That's... I.. That just came out wrong, that's not what I meant!"

"And that your life doesn't revolve around her and that she was selfish," Sean adds fuel to the fire.

"Doesn't revolve around— WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU??!!" Harley exclaims at him.

"What the fuck are YOU GUYS mad at me for???"

"'Cause she's a sweet and gentle human and you're a fuckin' asshole," Sean answers, bluntly.

"Instead of shitting on me about it, why not just fucking help me fix the damn thing??"

"We did," says Marko.

"Several times," Sean chimes in.

"Everyone was tellin' you to just say 'sorry' and you turned around and said 'I'm sick of you', you dumbass," says Harley.

 Sebastian looks at Izzy, hoping for someone to take his side and defend him.

"I'm kinda with them on this one. That was harsh," Izzy denies him.

"Ah, you guys suck."

"What are you idiots being so loud this early about," Eva, having just arrived, walks in on them at the lobby.

"Ah, fuck," Sebastian whispers to himself, things are about to get much worse.

"Him and Rina had an argument last night," Marko answers.

"He yelled at her," now Sean.

"And this douchebag made her cry," finally, Harley.

"YOU WHAT??!!!"

 Eva rushes over to him to unleash a barrage of slaps and punches on his arm.

"YOU. ARE. SUCH. AN. IDIOT!!!!"

"Ow, that's—stop!" he shrugs Eva away.

"What did you say to her??!!"

"You don't know?"

 Eva is just looking at him, waiting for an explanation.

"She didn't tell you about it?"

"If I knew about it, I would have stormed at your place the second I heard, you idiot!"

"I'm not gonna sit through this for a second time, fuck all of you, you guys are annoying."

SHHOOM

 He escapes to safety by warping in the mission control room and to confront the snitch in Benedict.

"Hey, you fucking assh—" he kicks the door open only to find Rina in mid-conversation with Benedict.

 Sebastian is frozen.

"Ah, shit."

"I'll just, talk to you later," Rina leaves, equally uncomfortable.

 Sebastian moves out of the doorway to the side to make way for the exiting Rina who says nothing and does not even give him a single look.

"Real smooth," Benedict's snide comment.

"You fucking told the guys?" Sebastian closes the door and takes his usual seat.

"And?"

"What do you mean 'and'? They were all ganging up on me!"

"Why do you think I told them?"

"You're an actual asshole, you know that?"

"You are the last person in the world who should be saying that to another person."

"What… uh, what were you guys talking about?" he subtly tries to get Benedict to spill some information.

"None of your concern," he quickly answers.

"I heard you went on an incredible run last night," Benedict shifts the topic of conversation.

"I have to say, I'm impressed."

"Still doesn't take away from the fact that you broke a precious person's heart, though," he adds.

"Can you just tell me if Kristoff's in already?" Sebastian finally asks what he came for in the first place.

"I've already answered this type of question before, Agent Isaac. I DON'T KNOW WHEN AGENTS COME IN TO WORK."

"And what do you want with him again anyway?"

"Swords' chipped," he places it on Benedict's desk.

"What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything, it was during the Ice Sheet."

"Don't you have his contact? Just ask yourself," Benedict couldn't be bothered anymore.

"What the fuck would I have his contact for, this is only the second time I asked for the guy's help," Sebastian answers.

"I'll give it to you so you can stop bothering me about it every single time."

 He steps outside for a brief moment to make the call. Minutes later and he goes back in the office like it's his own.

"Nerd's not in yet," says Sebastian, having just called Kristoff.

"You don't have to broadcast everything that happens. And what are you still even doing here in my office?" Benedict tells him.

"Didn't you say I'm supposed to meet with the old man's puppy?"

"Your meeting with the DEPUTY DIRECTOR, our DIRECT SUPERIOR, is not for another hour," Benedict answers.

"Can't you just call him and tell him to come now?"

"You want me to order my boss around?"

"You're making it sound worse than it is, but yeah, something like that."

"This might surprise you, Agent Isaac, but not everyone holds little to no regard of hierarchy like you."

"Ah, whatever. Anyway…"

 Benedict groans.

"What now"

"What's this about some unknown monster-killer on some island?" Sebastian asks, referring to the discovery he made last night.

"What?"

"It's in some sort of island south of Japan, I think. One of your guys outside told me about it," he explained.

"Oh. That anomaly in Aogashima," Benedict finally realizes what Sebastian is talking about.

"What about it?" he asks.

"Don't you care about this guy?" Sebastian retorts.

"There's nothing concerning happening in the island regarding the anomaly and so far, all its activity is nothing but beneficial to us. What reason is there to dig into it?"

"And what do you mean 'guy'? Did you guys have an encounter?" asks Benedict.

"Nah, I just assumed. There was no signature so this thing isn't a monster. The island is pretty much isolated and if what you and your guy what said is true and this thing kills every spawn in that place, then that only means it's a person living there," Sebastian explains his theory.

"Or it's just a wild animal. Or a group of villagers," Benedict understood his point but doesn't fully buy into it.

"No animal or group of villagers no matter how many can kill a horde of A-ranks," Sebastian quickly refutes his theory.

"Whoever this person is, he's good. Trained, probably."

"Why even the sudden interest in this?" Benedict asks him.

"I don't know. I guess I'm just wondering what this guy is doing, and why you people haven't tried recruiting him yet. I mean, he's obviously capable."

"Because like I said, we don't even know what it is. And whatever it is, it's much better stationed there so we don't have to worry about the island. One less ground to cover," Benedict answers.

"Are you planning on staying here until the Deputy Director arrives?"

"Now that you said it, no. I'm sick of your stupid face already," he gets up.

"I'll be in the training room, just call me when the guy is here."
