The next day, Kai and Michelle went toward them after submitting their mission to Mano Yuki as the reason for their leave.
They met with Tasha and Ayaka, who were ready to go. However, before that, they were waiting for another person.
*Knock Knock*
"Come in."
"Thank you for having me on this mission." Evan Young came in and greeted them, bringing a suitcase with him. "I have not properly introduced myself back then. My name is Evan Young from class B, the same as Miss Kudo Ayaka. As you might already be aware, I am a Zodiac, specifically Pisces."
"I am Kai Carter." Kai pointed his finger at Michelle, Tasha, and Ayaka. "This is Michelle Graham, Tasha Carter, my sister, and Kudo Ayaka."
Evan Young nodded. "Alpha, Miss Alpha, Sister, and Friend."
"Wait, wait… That is very wrong." Tasha immediately stopped him before pointing her finger toward herself and said with a serious expression. "I am also Miss Alpha."
"...Whatever." He simply shrugged his shoulder, not caring about it.
"Anyway, you know about the real mission, right?" Kai asked, remembering what Bryan said yesterday.
"Yes. I am aware of that. I will be the bait while your group finishes your own mission. However, I need to say this first." Evan Young looked at all of them. "I can only heal you and can't help you in a fight."
Kai nodded. "Michelle Graham and Kudo Ayaka will ensure your safety while my sister and I will locate the base. I wish to finish the mission within two days since it will be dangerous to stay longer."
"I have the same thought. However, tracking an enemy that the elites can't is hard."
"I will take care of that," Kai assured him.
"I will just do whatever I need to do, such as healing the soldiers and acting as normal as possible. I will try not to hinder your mission and if you need any help, you can ask me, except for fighting."
"Then, we have a deal?" Kai nodded and stretched his hand.
Evan Young nodded his head and shook Kai's hand. Evan then led them to a helicopter parked right behind their school.
This was the first time Kai and the others saw the vast field filled with helicopters. Because of his healing ability, Evan was given a helicopter for himself, so he could travel anywhere.
Kai was determined to raise their ranking and got one of these helicopters. They then flew toward Front Brazil Military Base. Normally, this would take longer, but after reinforced by magic and magic core, the helicopters could fly faster. This was why Kai and the others could travel so fast with a little helicopter from Korea to Russia.
It took them approximately six hours before arriving in the military base.
They went to the general's office, meeting the one in charge of this base.
The general was a female with blue hair tied into a bun, a beauty on top of that with a pretty face and gorgeous body. She appeared to be older despite her young appearance, albeit no one said anything about that.
All of them saluted as Kai started reporting. "Lion Group has escorted Evan Young to the Front Brazil Military Base."
"Good work." She nodded. She looked at Evan Young for a while before saying, "We would appreciate your support here since we have many wounded warriors in this base."
"?!" Kai was wondering why she paused a bit when she looked at Evan."
*Knock Knock*
Someone was knocking on the door and opened it. Another female came inside. She had short blue hair with fierce eyes. Even so, it only made her elegance come out. She appeared to be the general's assistant, handing a few documents to her. "These are the requested documents."
"Good work."
The assistant then looked toward the five kids and asked one of them. "Are you Evan Young?"
"?!" Kai was confused about why this person started talking with Evan. He thought these two were suspicious, but when he saw the general's expression, he knew these two were not on the same side.
"Yes." Evan nodded.
"That's good. I am relieved now that we have you, the soldiers will be safe." She smiled.
"I will do my best."
*Cough!* The general faked a cough while staring at her assistant. The assistant immediately left the room.
"Anyway, I am sure you have a long flight, so you can go to the dining room and ask one of the chefs to make you something. After that, you can start working." The commander nodded, did not say anything about her assistant's behavior.
They then left the room, walking toward the dining room. However, on the way, Evan suddenly tapped his shoulder and said, "Can I talk to you after this? Just two of us, if possible."
Kai pondered for a moment and nodded.
After entering the dining room, they asked the chefs to make them something. It seemed they already knew they were coming, so they simply nodded before cooking something.
Kai was surprised that the dishes were excellent. "This is satisfying…"
"Well, the soldiers are warriors. A warrior is a person who is willing to risk his life, who is prepared to fight, away from the family, while risking their lives in the front line.l
"In fact, they don't really get the recognition they deserve. I know that many people who can only sit back in the safe area recognize them as heroes, but there are also many that don't care about that.
"Well, we are also walking in this path, so we can only struggle to survive and tell the tale for the next generation," Michelle said with a smile. "Since I also love the stories from my grandfather. Anyway, that is why the condition on the front line has improved. Of course, if this is only in the Military Base, if you are on a mission in the middle of nowhere, then you should procure your own food. Of course, I have improved my cooking skill to make sure you won't die because of hunger."
"Wait. Are you sure you are better than mine? I can cook many things." Tasha snorted.
"Heh… I am training under a 5-Star chef." She crossed her arms, making a smug smile.
"Kh…" Tasha continued to fight back while Ayaka could only look down, embarrassed because she was the only one who couldn't cook. Kai only smiled when watching this.
After a while, they wrapped the things up and headed back to the infirmary since Evan came to heal people.
When passing the restroom, Evan tapped Kai's back a few times before signaling him to talk. Kai nodded and said to the girls, "Sorry, something came up."
Michelle and the others only nodded, waiting for them.
They were going to the bathroom, the same one, making a misunderstanding for the people. Luckily, there was no one around, so it was safe.
However, they had a more serious discussion inside as Kai erected a small Sound Insulation Room.
"I have set up a barrier. We can talk." Kai nodded after checking his Sound Insulation Room.
Evan Young nodded as he opened the suitcase, revealing a small laptop. While waiting for the booting, he said, "Have you realized that both General and His assistant have weird behavior?"
"Yeah. However, whatever it is, they surely are not on the same side." Kai agreed. He was surprised why Evan suddenly said this though.
"Hmm… Let me check them first." Evan started typing with a complicated thing and in a few seconds, he got two profiles, the general's and her assistant.
"The general's name is Cindy Ashley. 41 years old, rising general. She is stationed here because of her achievement in various battlefields in South America. On the other hand, her assistant is a new one in this place. She was stationed at Belem before.
"There are no suspicious records in their profile. Surprisingly, both of them are hostile with each other currently, making this situation complicated."
"Yeah. They both know they are on the opposite side, but we don't know which one is coming from the terrorist." Kai agreed. "By the way, you are good with computers and how can you get this data?"
"I am using my family's network to open their profiles, but thank you for the compliment." He continued his job, searching one file after another. "My power is just weak water magic. For some reason, I can't use any offensive magic even though I have a good amount of magic. Because of that, I tried to fill my shortcomings by this."
Kai nodded, not asking more questions. They just met not long ago and he thought it would be rude to ask more personal questions. "Anyway, we can just ask them if they are the terrorist or not and it will alarm them."
"Yeah. It seems they really infiltrated the army. So, how are you going to do this?" Evan asked since Kai was the one in charge of this mission while he was only a bait. He already did all he could, so he gave the rest to Kai.
Kai pondered for a moment, trying to come up with a plan. "Since we don't know who the bad guy is. Then we can't trust anyone. I will try to come along with you while healing the soldiers and mark all the suspicious people… Albeit, I will need to move out during the night, so Michelle Graham and Kudo Ayaka will protect you."
"Alright. I will go along with your plan, but my beastly instinct is telling me that tonight will be dangerous." He said.
"Same." Kai agreed as the instinct from the Magical Beast was tingling. "In fact, every single one of these guys is terrorists until proven otherwise."
Kai also sent a message to the girls saying, 'Trust no one.'
