Chapter 668: Mission

Emery could clearly see the surprised look on his master's face when he heard him say those words. The slight smile that appeared after made Emery inwardly feel proud that he managed to say such things to these authoritative figures.

On the other hand, what he just said seemed to have made Magistrate Kadek displeased, judging by the expression on her face. 

The same couldn't be said to the headmaster, as he surprisingly decided to back him up on this issue.

"I am sure the alliance will be generous in return for such help," Headmaster Delbrand said, while turning his gaze to the magistrate.

She glanced at the headmaster briefly before turning her eyes to look at Emery.

"You will be doing the alliance a big favor. Naturally it will be listed in your records. This deed will be very useful for many things… for example, the petition about the caretaker of your home world."

At first glance, the magistrate's words sounded like a bunch of empty promises with their 'favor' and 'records'.  On the other hand, this reward was indeed a huge one if it could really have some impact on the petition that literally affected the whole Earth's situation.

Looking at how Emery reacted, the magistrate let out a smile and instantly assumed Emery will accept the mission

"Alright then… When the ban on outworld travel from the academy will be lifted, we'll summon you again for the mission. For now, you have to keep this discussion strictly secret. You are not allowed to tell anyone."

After hearing that, Emery just nodded his head. 

He then was excused to leave the room and return to prepare for the transition for the privilege class. 

He gave respect to the three and walked towards the door. However, he suddenly thought of something and stopped his steps.

Emery turned around and said, "Magistrate, may I know how the White Fang Clan had been doing? Are they alright?"

The magistrate gave the question a thought and said. 

"Most were placed under surveillance. There are some who are still at large and a few like you who have basically been cleared. If you worry about them, I can assure you that as long as the trial and investigation is still ongoing they will be treated fairly."

Emery was satisfied with the answer and left the place after giving another bow to the three.

After he left, Magus Xion who had been silent all this time finally opened his mouth.

"My apology, magistrate, but the Magus Alliance has thousands of magus level enforcers. So why are you recruiting such a young acolyte?"

Magistrate Kadek seemed to have no intention to say anything, but fortunately the headmaster decided to clear some of Magus Xion's doubts.

"I did not lie, the boy has a particular connection with the case, and not just with the missing Patriarch Lucius. There is one particular Serpent Bloodline contact that I would need him to meet: the boy will play a huge role to make the upcoming mission go smoothly."

Magus Xion looked dissatisfied with the explanation. He was about to speak again, when Magistrate Kadek interrupt him

"Magus Xion, I have to remind you that we are currently at a war and everyone in the human alliance is expected to contribute. Even a young talented acolyte will not be exempted from this."

Magus Xion was silenced by that statement. Glancing at him, Magistrate Kadek stood up from her seat and walked towards the door. 

"Now that our business here is over, I will take my leave, as I still have many things to do."

Magus Xion still stayed in the room, as he was still inquiring to Headmaster Delbrand about this issue. The headmaster, however, was apparently firm in his decision.

"You are too overprotective of the boy, Xion. Rest assured, such a mission will only do good for his future progress."

Magus Xion seemed to still have something to say, but eventually he closed his mouth and nodded his head. Unfortunately for him, Headmaster Delbrand still hadn't finished his words. 

"Instead of worrying about this, you should be more concerned about your issue with your master, Zenonia"

This left Magus Xion speechless. The headmaster didn't seem to notice this as he continued his words.

"I can't have the instructors, especially one of the heads of the institutes, to create drama, not now with our current situation. If this goes out of hand, I will definitely interfere."

"There's no need for that, headmaster. I will take care of it," Magus Xion said. "My master will soon come out of her seclusion. I will definitely make sure this problem goes away."

After saying that, Magus Xion gave his respect to the headmaster, before walking out of the room. The expression on his face clearly told onlookers he had much to worry about, but after taking a few steps, it suddenly turned to smile as he spoke to himself.

"I almost cannot believe it, Emery… You actually did it. Now, I don't have any more regrets."

The languid atmosphere his steps previously had changed, turning into one that of determination.

——-

Emery, on the other hand, was seen rushing through the path, as he hurriedly made his way toward the portal that would send him to the elite 7 island. Fortunately, no more enforcers nor people in dark robes stopped him in his tracks this time around.

The reason he was in a hurry was because it was already dark and he was reminded about the celebration party that his friends were planning before.

Emery was anxious, as he went toward Klea's given residence with a spatial gate, only to find it empty. He was confused for a while, until he realized she had never used her residence before and always stayed in his. Hence, when she said her residence it must be actually his.

Realizing this, Emery quickly dashed in the direction of his own residence and was surprised to see the girl was already standing outside by herself in the night.

It was clear she had been waiting for him. Emery quickly walked towards her with an apologetic smile

"I'm sorry. I was detained for so long that it was already night when I was released. I came here as fast as I could!"

When the moonlight showed her face, Emery realized the girl seemed to be on the verge of crying, as he could see hints of tears in the corner of her eyes. But then, she instantly turned angry and told him to go inside where the others had been waiting.

Her actions once more made Emery feel unsettled.
