Sapphire City's
Chapter 16: The New Mission
3 Days after the first mission, Judah seemed to feel like all this was a dream that had just passed, but the more days he felt it, everything was real. He saw with his own eyes, tuyul who said people could be locked in bottles, was out there, standing in the photo studio partying like people fiddling.
Even he thought tuyul was just a bald little boy, apparently having a different shape. But the nature of those who want money remains.
Now he has not received any more missions, just Defensive tasks of some specific locations. Defensive itself specifically there is no definite battle. Cuman was told to keep the location that had received the light of sapphire gem only. If it is not guarded there is a possibility that the jewel will be destroyed and the place will be occupied again. Although most of the guarded locations were not directly attacked by Matis. Senior-senior who had been on guard with Yuda had explained to him, do not underestimate the Matis, even though the place has been guarded and there has never been a direct attack does not mean that Judah and the Defensive Front Line are not supervised. The trained seniors could already feel a strong sense of air if they knew they were being watched. A little bit of care can be dangerous. Not like a thief who steals in the middle of a cctv. Matis is much more ingenious than that.
Thinking about her senior's words when Defensively made Juda think that, fighting back in a careless and hasty manner was not a good idea. Evidently from the matis who have telepathic abilities. Not only that, ordinary matis do not have special abilities other than the leader who only has Telepathy, but matis A level and above they have abilities beyond reason. So to deal with it requires trained Front Line and mature strategy.
Judah drank a cup of black tea as he thought about what he was thinking while staying out of the garden's backroom behind the glass of the canteen. Strangely enough there is also a garden under the building without sunlight. But clearly this park is enough to beautify the location of the headquarters.
“if all this doesn't happen, what am I doing about” thought Yuda.
Maybe now he is thinking of returning to study hard at home or playing with his two friends to exciting places, sometimes eliminating fatigue.
Thinking about it, makes Judah miss family and friends. But if he was thinking of meeting them, it was not a good one. What was there was a feeling that he did not want to feel seeing reality in front of his eyes.
“Hei alone course”
Yuda glanced at someone in front of him from the bottom up, he was wearing jeans and a black t-shirt that read ‘Bandung’ boy. Take a seat in front of Judah and sit in front of him.
“that's” Yuda replied.
“we got a new mission, this time with Luca”
“Front Line junior threesome in 1 mission, wow”
“there is a possibility they are testing us” said Andy “but for this mission Lia did not explain directly because he has his own mission so the mission explanation will be explained by representative, but before that we are given this”
Andy gives Yuda a brown map, he says if Lia is on duty then for the mission will be given in the form of a brown map, his own representative in question is the team leader. Yuda opened the brown map, containing two sheets of hvs paper. The first sheet is the details of the team members
...Mission Level B...
Yuda stands up suddenly, surprised to receive a B-level mission when just three days ago he and Andy completed a C-level mission, now a higher level is given. Yuda glanced at Andy, the young man in front of him just replied to the headband as if saying ‘I am also as surprised as you’.
...Team Leader: Gin...
...Operator: Rizky...
...Members:...
...Derens...
...Luca...
...Andy's...
...Yudas...
... ...
Yuda's previous mission had known Gin and Rizky, this time Gin again became the leader of his team and Rizky operator. But Deren he doesn't know him yet, another senior member he doesn't know yet. That meant, the headquarters only sent 5 people, 2 seniors and 3 juniors. Is this not too heavy for a level B mission.
Yuda's second sheet is open. This is an explanation of the mission location and the type of matis that Judah will face.
...Mission Location:...
...Bandung Train Station...
... ...
You guys must be kidding, Yuda thought. Yuda lived and was born in the city of Bandung he never once entered the Bandung Train Station. Now that he first entered there in this state of the world, it felt uncomfortable.
...Number of Sapphire Gems:...
...2...
... ...
...Matis Type:...
...Shadow...
...Quantity:...
...One...
Whether this is luck or luck. One thing is certain though this sheet explains one, Yuda has been taught not to underestimate the opponent, it could be that what the scouting team sees is one but the reality could be more.
...Ability:...
... ...
“ability? Isn't it just A level up?”
“I hear sometimes level B also has the ability” Andy explained “but it's still vague”
So the more curious or the feeling of tension. Facing tuyul in the tens alone makes a sense of tension is not because, this time is 1 matis who control the train station, especially the possibility he has the ability. Then if reported number one, not necessarily number one. It was like getting into a tiger's nest.
Gin and Deren wait for Luca, Yuda and Andy in the hall room, before leaving the two seniors asked Judah and the others to come together to discuss the strategy they would use. Since the three of them lived in one dorm room, there was no need to bother waiting for each other.
Yuda has known Andy's weapons before because they were on a mission the first time. This time they were with Luca. So they don't know what weapon Luca will use when they go to the armory to pick up supplies. Luca apparently carries a sword.
Rarely do people choose to use unusual weapons because they need special training.
“you from the first mission use a sword?” Ask Andy astonishment.
“iya, from the beginning I chose sword” replied Luca.
“that means for two weeks you practiced using the sword?” Ask Yuda.
Luca shook his head “no, since I used to join fencing activities, so just told to choose a weapon, I prefer to have been used to”
“wah sport fencing ya” Yuda surprised to hear the answer Luca “rarely I see it”
Maybe because of the feelings of Judah or not but, the selection of them take a level B mission is not a coincidence, surely because there is Luca or………when Yuda glanced at Andy who was choosing a bullet, it occurred to him that the previous mission Yuda remembered his senior remark that Andy's shot never missed during practice, was that because of that too? His fellow housemates have abilities beyond what he expected.
Knowing that fact makes the feelings of Judah feel pessimistic, nearby are those who have been known to his ability, but he is what stands out from him so that he can participate in the mission level B. Tuyul mission time alone he does not show any talent in trying to hold the leader Tuyul.
Even so, if it is too pessimistic until the mission is there he will mess everything up, he must hold on until everything comes back like heck and have fun with his best friend.
Gin and Deren have been waiting for the arrival of Yuda, Luca and Andy. There is also Rizky because he is an operator, must he be present. The hall space is always quiet there is nothing in it except the view of the garden from behind the glass always welcomes anyone who goes inside.
Yuda notices Deren standing next to Gin, both of them watching the tablet Gin is holding. There were no heavyweights that Deren carried, only a Handgun attached to the belt, although the impression was like an understatement because unlike the Gin who carried the Assault Riflet, it was only a, Deren just brought the Handgun and it was just one.
In addition, Gin's tumben once did not fuss with his younger brother Rizky, the last mission with their sister Gin protested so suddenly became their operator.
“oh you three have come apparently” Rizky first who realized the arrival of Yuda and his friends.
Deren first approached the three of them.
“hmmmm actually I did not agree to send 3 juniors for class B missions, but the chairman's decision cannot be denied”
Deren's words that seem honest and painful make Juda realize that his words have a point, but the decision remains indisputable.
“Hei Deren” Gin approached Deren “your speech was impolite”
Deren just turned his face away and went away.
“sorry yes, Deren the person is a little rude then his speech is too honest” Gin feels uncomfortable to Yuda, Andy and Luca.
“no problem really, but he did have a point” said Andy whose answer was in line with what Yuda thought.
Gin again feel uncomfortable “ whatever it is, I still hope a lot to you”
Rizky as the operator turned on the projector screen displaying a photo of Andir's gate railway station with a pitch-black atmosphere there was no illumination. People from pedestrians to street vendors did not escape turning into stone. The fruiting cloudy atmosphere becomes silent in a photograph.
Gin is the first to start the meeting. Gin explained about the mission of eradicating the matis segaligus lighting Sapphire gems at the station amounted to two pieces. The screen turned into a station floor plan. There is a picture of two trains each having 5 and 6 carriages. The two trains stopped at the same station. The first two are on both trains.
“according to the results of drone monitoring, empty gems are at each end of the train, whether it is in the driver or the end of the train”
Gin again explained about Matis ‘Shadow’.
“previously in the brown map sheet has been explained that Shadow matis amounted to one, but”
The screen display turned into a station entrance filled with black shadows. Judah was astonished to make, whereas in the report explained the total matis was just one. Why suddenly it becomes so much.
“review team updates report that, they saw a bunch of black shadows filling the train station”
“why suddenly so much?” Tanya Yuda “not previously reported one?”
Gin gestured for Rizky to speak up.
“as you already know. Operator-controlled drones can detect the number of matis through temperature sensors, even we can also predict which of their leaders. But just now I have double-checked, drone monitoring results still show that the number of matis there is 1”
Here Judah realized something. A sensor device that has been programmed in such a way is impossible to misread, because it is set up like that. Even if there is an error in viewing the sensor scan results, it is likely that they are not known to be hiding somewhere from just emerging now, but if they have just appeared they should be detected in the temperature sensor. If only one is detected…..
“duplikan” said Yuda had realized the situation.
Gin nodded in agreement “right, most likely he could duplicate himself”
Deren this time forward “which is a new problem, we do not know he can duplicate as much as what and how he can duplicate, we do not know, the surveillance team itself could not get any closer in observing because it was too dangerous”.
You could say, Yuda and his friends were not benefited.[]
