After a few more trainings, Even gave us our earlier end of our training for today.

"All of you must still have to condition yourselves to prepare."

"Prepare for what, Doctor?" Keio asked him.

"For your upcoming mission outside this organization."

* * *

"So it means, we're going outside? Sick," Thadd expressed as he just absorbed what Even said to us before he left our training area.

"That's the nth time you said sick, Thadd. It's tingling my nerves already." Benina then rolled her eyes as she placed our dinner in our table. Well, I can relate to that, but I understand Thadd, he's still a teen who gets easily amazed at almost everything.

"Why won't you make a new word for your expressions? Sicko," he shot back that made the two of them to have another episodes of bickering. Of course, Keio and I will have no other choice but to shake our heads in defeat.

"We'll endure them both, right?" the kid innocently asked to me, but 006 answered him.

"Don't mind them, kid. Eat your dinner."

"Okay," Keio shyly answered before taking his spoon of chicken adobo in his mouth.

* * *

After dinner, we then go to 006's room. Because the last time he said later to me, most of us were already asleep after training.

And as we entered his room, we were shocked. His room was full of... Scientific sfuffs.

"Sick..." Thadd expressed. I waited for Benina's retorts but she as well was awestruck with 006's room.

Who wouldn't? His room was actually full of cool stuffs that even Keio had enjoyed. But we didn't stayed longer in there, we have to get long rests for tomorrow's another training.

As the three had gone to their rooms—probably to sleep—I faced 006 while playing a stun pen through my fingers.

"Do you have any idea about the outside?" I asked him, emphasizing the last word.

"I do have," he replied. "But not as much as everyone had."

Oh. Maybe because his memory of his past has been erased after he was revived with science. It's like a reformat on the phone. Leaving no other words, I smiled as my reply to him.

"I have to sleep now, has the man on the screen spoke to you again?"

"Not yet tonight. We'll have to report to him tomorrow before going to our training."

I nodded. "Alright. Have a good night, 006," I spoke. He nodded and responded no more.

Morning came and without taking a bath or breakfast, all of us gathered in our meeting area in the middle of our quarter's second floor

"Looking exhausted, aren't we?" 002 chimed as we all felt groggy so we just responded him with grunts.

"Send us the report," 006 answered. Yes, exhaustion is visible in his face, but his stoic eyes never ceased. 002, the man on our screen, chuckled and repositioned himself in his seat.

"The upper generals are sending your missions for today since this will be the first day that your team will be sent outside. This is a first time..." He sent an email in our screen that opens up immediately. "That a newly-formed team like you will be sent to an outside field mission. That would be all, Delta team. Your incentives and instructions are inside your email. Better read them before the server burns them. Best of luck!" 002 smirked before his screen turned off. After he goes off, an email popped up.

Mission: Des Weiteren

Assigned Team: Delta | Tango | Yankee

Objective: To gather informations from the Manus Gang.

[The assigned teams will be sent to the Central Town for the said objective. Every members are not allowed to interfere the missions of the other teams, hence, the scores will be deducted and will be placed to the detention cell.]

I took my phone and captured the email as I still have the hard time to remember. Especially while I'm still in a trance state.

"Get ready, we're leaving after breakfast." 006 looked at Benina. "You cook for breakfast. Thadd and Keio will be packing what I'll be instructing them to prepare." Then he looks at me. "You, Ami, will try to reach out with the Eagle team. They have the same location of our mission." After he instructed us, we set off to prepare for our selves.

After I dressed up to a casual loose shirt and tight pants, I walked out of our quarters to visit the Eagle team's quarter. Which is quite far from ours.

As I reached the Eagle team's quarter, I gently knocked of their door. It didn't took me a while to wait because an eagle team member immediately opened the door for me.

"Get in. I know what you're up in here." I squinted at the sight of him looking rugged and well... Sleepy.

I get in instantly before he shuts the door. Their quarter is quite different from ours. I had a little time to see the surrounding area of this quarter and all I can say is that, theirs have no second floors.

"Oh, hello Delta member! I'm Sachzna, an Eagle team seer and that's Heron, our tech guy who opened the door for you just now. What's your name?" A woman of my age warmly welcomed me while she holds a spatula in her gloved hand. Probably cooking for breakfast.

"I won't take long in here, Sachzna. I am Ami, a shooter. I'm here to try to speak with your leader for a moment." I saw her smile wider and pointed a room that had a black-painted door.

"044 is still sleeping. That fudged bar, he literally sleeps like a log. Try to wake him up if you want to have a word with him," she happily responded as she cooked in their kitchen.

I nodded at her and proceeded to the room she pointed. It's odd that I can open this door, unlike in our quarter that had sensors so we could enter our rooms.

As I entered inside, the room immediately illuminated with fluorescent LED lights. And again, I squinted as the lights almost flashed my eyes.

And there in his room, I saw 044 reading a book.

Reading a book!

He didn't seem to be bothered with my presence that he even flipped a page in his book like a normal person. Is that even normal?

"What is it, Clario?" he asked, looking unbothered. He thought I am one of his members.

I coughed a little that made him jolt up from his seat. "I am Ami of Delta Team, and I think we need to talk about the location of our mission."

I saw him closing his book—entitled, Verity. I couldn't see the name of the author but the book seems interesting.

"What about it?" he asked me. Eyes turning from a bit annoyed from earlier's disturbance to composed.
