A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 91: Compiling Beams

This field is noisy. Voice by voice fills each corner with different, diverse, mutually simple, but solid. A group of people lined up neatly, although there were still many of them who put on a relaxed posture.

Some people whispered, as Huge, Rico, and Tue entered the ranks. It is clear that the past of the three is what makes them a gossip material. Even so, the whispers were ignored, they had experienced this too often. Make them develop an indifferent attitude around.

However, now Huge's eyes swept over, looking at the people who were here. Though what he thought was not emotional, but something else.

“Aren't the people here at gold level 4? That's the lowest, right?”

“It seems so, Huge,” retorted Rico, and Tue beside him nodded lightly.

Previously, they got a mission call, but not the entire team was included. Only they are called to action while Dany, Ernest, and Kent are not. Now it was clear that the three of them did not enter because the level of strength was lacking.

Some light discussion was voiced and suddenly the field became silent.

Drap Drap Drap Drap

Together with the sound of heavy footsteps, everyone was now focused on the figure that entered the field.

His body was clad in thick armor, and there was a long spear hanging in his hand. Stopping his steps, the person turned around and faced the line of these soldiers.

Tenor has entered, moreover he will lead the operation this time. “All close ranks!”

Legs snapped loudly, making a thunderous sound alongside the typical military-tight feel. Moreover, the current one in the lead was Tenor, the person most admired by most of the warriors in the field, not a matter of the level of strength he had, he said, but his other assertiveness and attitude is the origin of that respect.

Tenor nodded lightly yet exclaimed, “We will soon run the mission, this time the target is the team from Beatria Union.”

Up to this point, several voices were present and seemed to doubt this. How loose is the defense of Sourt City until it can be penetrated easily?

However, Tenor immediately straightened that out. “I know what you're doubting, but that's certainly not the case. The military higher-ups had let them in, and now was the time to extort the information they got!”

The voice fell and silence filled the surroundings, they had understood the possibility of things happening.

Nodding in satisfaction, Tenor immediately gave directions to the line of soldiers in front of him. The line that was originally one is broken down, into four more small rows that have different roles.

Even if the number of these people only reached thirty people, but the mobilized power was actually very large.

Six people entered the reconnaissance squad. They were dominated by battle technique users who were experts at hiding the air of his presence.

Ten people entered the rear row giving a long-range attack. It was dominated by magicians and users of bow techniques, and Tue got into this squad.

Four people entered the support team. Dominated by those who are experts in healing magic and other magic used to help their fellows.

Like the division of team teams that run smoothly, the placement position of each team is explained clearly and in detail. Especially with a pre-determined strategic location, making them confident in the success of the mission.

Moreover, their target was only five Beast-kin. No, with their latest condition where one had been killed and one was in critical condition, only three Beast-kin would be opponents. Even this comparison alone was more than enough to overcome all the possibilities that these people could think of.

Time passed and finally the operation was moved. Squad by squad to a predetermined position, without exception.

Closer to Huge is, Tenor said, “Your situation has become much better, Son?”

Unlike before which in his tone, Tenor exerted pressure. This time the voice sounded soft (?).

“That's Captain Tenor. Also, thank you for the blessings you have been giving. If I hadn't met you back then maybe I would still be living on the streets.”

Hearing this, Tenor waved his hand. “Do not think.”

Even so, Huge's expression clearly still showed a lot of hope. He was previously a street child, even to be called a civilian of a country was difficult. However, the moment Tenor adopted her, everything changed completely.

He could have lived a much more decent life, even if Huge knew that Tenor had adopted him not merely out of sympathy, but that he really appreciated. The reason why he got to such a degree was the talent that Tenor saw in him.

Even since he was adopted, he had been strictly trained by Tenor. As the dipper welcomed, Tenor's hopes were really fulfilled. He darted far away, in a short time reaching an unimaginable point.

Although many of his associates were from knight families, they did not demean Huge just because of his background. Yes, everything went very smoothly until the event that made Huge very hit happened.

Hence, when Tenor heard that Huge had returned from Ditch he was much happier than anyone. Are no parents happy that their children are not sad anymore?

“You should keep your highest focus here, son. Although I know why, but my feelings say that this will not end easily,” remembers Tenor as the last form before he left the side of Huge, greeting some other people.

With a light nod, Huge remembered it well.

The sun was about to return to the horizon, making the sky filled with a dazzling orange color. However, unlike others who enjoyed this twilight with a light heart, that person had a chaotic heart as he continued to jump from one roof to another.

“Sial!” he said, but it was unclear who it was aimed at. His eyes were dazed, as if he did not yet know what to do. “Where should I look for that Old Man?”

Muttering this, the person nodded lightly before continuing his steps. It was clear that the Manor of Sourt City was the place he had to head to. Even if But had forbidden him to go there, but he didn't care about it. He prioritized this matter a lot more.

“He has offended the wrong person,” muttered the person back.

Even so, he would not know that But was not in the manor and was somewhere else. It was clear that it was all for the sake of eliminating the worry But would alarm in him that kept ringing.
