Chapter 116 Emergency Mission
Little Star Gate High School- Red City.
Police Headquarters,
Old Man Wizard Billy already thought of a person to lead this team. But before telling these little fellows. He needs to complete some formalities. It's not easy to move other level Wizards for their mission.
There were numerous separate investigations & other difficult missions going on parallely. So there is a demand for skilled Wizards in their organisation.
"Tck, I'll try. If it's not possible, I will add a few level 3 Wizards in this team." Old Man Billy said to himself.
He looked at the little fellows after retracting his thoughts and said, "Okay,You guys can leave and prepare for the mission. I'll call you in a few hours. So, in the meantime,if you have any unfinished works go and complete them."
Vice Captain Alan Pitts nodded at him. He expected that it's not be easy to appoint a new level-4 Wizard as a Captain.
"Thank you, Dept Head." Mr. Alan Pitts said. Then he walked out of the cabin with his team members.
The team has achieved what they came here for.
The door behind them closed automatically when everyone stepped outside.
Jimmy Herman exhaled deeply as his whole body got some sense of relief.
Not only him, Ms. Pam Levine used a handkerchief to make sweating palms dry.
Ms. Lottie uttered in a bitter smile, "Dept Head is powerful." There is a trace of longing for a higher wizard path in her eyes.
Once again she is determined in heart to reach level-5 existence some day. The meeting with their Dept Head made her determination further stronger.
Mr.Alan Pitts removed sweat from his forehead. For a whole time,he felt like he was under some kind of pressure.Though there is no single mana leaked from their Dept Head. The whole thing was like a grand illusion.
"Phew!" After retracting from those thoughts, Mr. Alan looked at his team members & said, "Let's go, We finally can do something about Captain's condition."
Everyone's eyes shone bright with hope.
"Great!" Ms.Pam Levine said.
Jimmy Herman's face reveals a small smile. He commented, "With our Dept Head's presence, the mission won't have any problems."
He has seen and tracked the scent of level-4 Wizard Leon. Jimmy knows how horrible that guy in reality is? Fortunately, the Dept Head is going to watch the situation personally.
So he believes in his heart there won't be any unfavorable situation for them.
When he said that, Ms. Lottie nodded her head and replied,"Don't know, who is going to be our leader?"
While talking everyone reached the lift.
Vice Captain Alan seems to be thinking about something. So he hasn't heard Ms.Lottie's questions. Except him, only three of them were talking among themselves.
The other hand ...
Dept Head's Cabin,
After Tyler's team walks out, old man Billy tries to contact someone through his communication watch.
He decided to talk to another Dept Head about this matter. Excluding Tyler, all of the Level-4 Wizard under his department had already gone for their mission.
A few minutes later,
"Damn, Connor!" Old Man Billy uttered in anger. He is completely enraged. Few minutes ago, he asked his colleagues but none of them were ready to send their level-4 Wizard.
Especially the Battle Department. Wizard Connor has the same existence as old man Billy. But he deliberately concealed the availability of level-4 wizards under him.
After the conversation between two of them, wizard Connor suddenly gave a new mission to a level-4 wizard.
Old Man Billy is not stupid enough to believe everyone's words. He had already seen the information about availability of Level-4 Wizards. But the Wizard Connor completely played his back.
This action by wizard Connor completely pissed off old man Billy.
"Harumph, these guys are worried that I will send their juniors to some suicide mission. So they deliberately make things difficult for me." Old Man Billy mumbled under his breath.
He closely shut his eyes & muttered, "Wait until things get back to normal. Then I will make things difficult for them. Bunch of cowards, by doing this not only they weaken the government. But also giving rise to further rogues."
Old Man Billy fell into deep contemplation. Now his plan about level-4 Wizard's appointment in Tyler's team is completely fell apart. He can only post a emergency mission with high rewards now.
Old Man Billy is quite clear that his colleagues won't help him.
So he can only hope that someone will take his task now.
He opened the drawer from the desk. There are a lot of scrolls stacked inside made of different materials. He takes one particular scroll from it.
The scroll skin is shone with bronze color.
Old Man Billy lifts the scroll in air by simply pointing the finger up. It's a normal scroll which is used to issue tasks. There are pre-installed magic means in it. But old man Billy simply controlled the surrounding mana with his finger to lift it up.
Then he takes out a magical pen to write the content of the mission.
Old Man Billy purposely avoided the name of Poison Dagger Organization & name of level-4 Wizard Leon Willy.
He simply wrote that quote: [Investigation dept team needs a few level-3 wizards for an emergency investigation mission.]
[Reward: 10 Grade-3 Fire Crystal Gem with 60% for each member.]
After writing the content with his magical pen. He put the magic pen on his desk. Then he looked at the content again. He could have mentioned the city.
But he avoided it, since the mission was based on anonymous intel. Old Man Billy thought it's better to not to mention anything.
If someone really wants to do the mission, they can know later. Because there is going to be a small meeting before the mission. Old Man Billy will tell them at that time.
Seeing the bronze color scroll hovering in the air. He raised his finger to stop the manipulation of mana. Next moment, the scroll drops down on his palm.
The content is written with black color letters, revealing a cold glint. If any level-2 Wizard tries to read, he will face great difficulty. Because his mental strength his not enough to read the content. Only level-3 Wizards & can above read it.
Then Old Man Billy pointed his finger at the desk. He slowly muttered something, next second a green color runic pentagrams appeared on the surface of the desk.
Seeing that he sealed the scroll with his Dept insignia and placed it on the center of runic pentagrams.
Next second, the scroll disappears with runes.
Seeing that old man muttered to himself, "Let's see who will pick up the task? Grade-3 Fire Crystal Gem with 60% purity is not cheap."
Most of the high purity Crystal Gems were sold via auction. It's especially purity above 60 or 70. It's dependent upon the prestige of each auction house.
Some royal auction houses only sold crystal gems with purity above 75%.
So, Old Man Billy is quite confident that a Bag of 10 crystal gems were a great reward for wizards.
2nd Floor of the building,
Mission Hall,
When Old Man Billy issued the mission. It was updated on the screens of the mission hall immediately.
Since it's under an emergency mission. It got displayed under the emergency screen section.
The Mission Hall is not huge, it only occupies a small area of the second building. Since every mission's information was live updated on the screen.
Wizards can come here to select their mission by simply registering their ID. There are no unnecessary formalities, so the crowding of the people can be avoided.
Then wizards can also look up the mission information in their dept website. But for selection they have to come in person to the mission hall to register. Wizards can't directly register from their website.
Right now in the mission hall, very few people can be seen. There is a huge projection screen on the wall. It occupied an entire section on one side of the wall.
Some wizards didn't waste any time in selecting their mission. They had already chosen their mission from the website. After registering their ID, they left immediately.
Only one or two people are talking about the mission.
Suddenly, a green silhouette stepped inside the hall.
She is none other than, level-3 Pain Wizard, Eva Rich.
Seeing her coming inside, those who were talking also became quiet in the next second.
While some of them immediately left the hall in a hurry after registering their ID.
"Harrumph" Ms. Eva Rich snorted by seeing their attitude.
Then she walked towards the emergency section. Only emergency missions have rich rewards. It is a high risk with rich benefits.
Upon reaching a little bit closer to the screen. She raised her head to view. Before coming, she already fixed some mission in her mind.
She began to look at it one by one. Then coincidentally she glanced at the update section. Where it is blinking with new light with small mention of time. ( a few seconds ago)
A small glint flashes in her eyes.
She recalls a few minutes ago, there is no such an update.
Then she tapped the update section.
A new mission information comes to view in her eye.
Seeing the content of the mission. She thought it was vague and there was no real information in it.
"What is it?" She mumbles while glancing at the reward section.
Her eyes widened by seeing the rich rewards. "Bag of 10 Firs Crystal Gems." She uttered in disbelief. She also takes note of the purity reminder, which further shocked her to the core.
