Chapter 304: Hunting Crew [1]

New Sun is very dengerous villain organization, this is the only organization that went to world government head to head and still exists.

The organization had done every possible evil things. They caused countless incidents in countries all over the world. From the Artifact Scramble incident in Novaclif to the send assassin in Silv city, they participated in almost

"Say that again."

A clam and even voice sounded in dark cave, the voice held its authority that would make anyone shudder in fear.

This is an artificial cave under Azurhaven lakes waters, the hideout New Sun has kept secret for over 30 years. As the years went by, the technological advances made the cave a state-of-the-art facility that looked nothing like a cave.

"My apologies."

"No, don't apologize. I said to say that again, Silasen. You said... a cheetah messed with our plan?"

"No, it was a Wolf. Um, a man wearing a Wolf mask."

Artifact retrieval was New Sun's first and foremost task.

"You idiot! How could you fail the mission like that? Now what will I said to master?" The man shouted towards Silasen who was Hanson.

Silasen mission was that retrieve the artifact ring that would appears on 'The Masquerade Party'.

But regretfully he fails his mission...But in the end he managed to get himself out of Sia hands.

Anyway, The artifact ring that New Sun wanted was very special.

This ring of wisdom amplified all abilities related to magic power, such as magic power control, adaptability, and materialization

"I'm sorry sir." He bowed his head again.

"We cannot afford any more failures," he muttered under his breath, his voice laced with urgency.

Silasen, his subordinate, stood with his head bowed, visibly shaken by leader's outburst. Despite his best efforts, he had failed to retrieve the artifact ring, a crucial component of New Sun's plans.

The black individual eyes flashed with anger as he turned to face Silasen once more. "You were entrusted with a simple task, and you let us down. Do you have any idea what the consequences of your failure could be?"

Silasen swallowed hard, his throat dry with fear. He knew all too well the severity of his mistake and the potential repercussions it could have for both himself and the organization.

"I-I'm sorry, sir. I'll do everything in my power to make it right," Silasen stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.

Leader gaze softened slightly, but the edge of his tone remained sharp. "It can't be helped since the ring is gone now but you won't be getting second chance if you fail again!"

With a heavy heart, Silasen nodded, steeling himself for the difficult task ahead. He knew that the consequences of his failure would not only affect him but also the entire organization.

As he left the cave, Silasen made a silent vow to redeem himself and ensure that New Sun's plans were carried out without further setbacks. The fate of the organization depended on it, and he would not let them down again.

"...What am I supposed to do with this?"

Sunday night.

I pondered as I examined the magic sword I picked up. It was a spoil of war I obtained from defeating a fallen human, but it was completely useless to me. Since I already have better sword then this i don't need to use this sword right now.

Of course, I would be able to sell it for a vast amount of money if I put black market auction house but I didn't felt like selling it.

'Maybe i should send it to Jonathan.'

Yeah that would be right choice, since our mercerey group is new so we need more weapons.

We can buy some weapons with my money but I should save that money instead.

So for now, I put the magic sword away in my drawer.

"And what do I do with this?"

This time, it was artefact Ring. Because it hasn't been awakened yet, it looked shabby as though it was forged with mud, but in reality, this ring was quite a unique artifact.

The artifact ring held immense potential, despite its unassuming appearance. It had the power to amplify all abilities related to magic power, making it a highly sought-after item by individuals and organizations alike.

I carefully examined the ring, turning it over in my hand as I pondered its significance. With its power, it could be a valuable asset to our mercenary group, enhancing our abilities and increasing our effectiveness in combat.

After considering my options, I decided to entrust the ring to Jonathan, our group's weapons specialist. He would know how to handle it responsibly and could provide valuable insights into its potential uses.

With that decision made, I carefully placed the artifact ring in a secure container, ready to be delivered to Jonathan at the earliest opportunity.

Ding!

At that moment my AI bracelet rung and a notification appears on it.

I clicked the message and my face turned sour.

Why? Because it was message from Hunting Crew.

====

[Hunting Crew--> Joseph, Crew leader.]

Cadet Lucas Darkhert, I would like to inform you that tomorrow our crew is going out for Crew activities.

If you don't join us tomorrow naturally you would kicked out of the crew because you didn't attend crew since last 5 months.

With warmest regards, Joseph, Crew leader.

====

Oh shit, i have to attend this or else I will be kicked out for sure.

Today is Monday, we have returned from our trip from Azurhaven just this morning and I have to attend the the hunting crew tomorrow too.

'Shit, I can't practice this way.'

Yeah because of recent i didn't get chance to practice but it seems that I don't have much choice.

Like Traveling Crew, Hunting Crew also held their crew activities once a month and i didn't attend even once the activities since I joined the crew.

It would hidnee my training for while but I guess I should join the tomorrow activity and also Yato is also not in academy right now.

He is on some kind of private mission and he won't tell me what the mission is about.

'So tomorrow is my first time joining the hunting crew.'

With that I switched of the light and sleep on the bed.
