84 Arrival (1/2)
The two arrived at the academy and headed to the headmaster's office to meet with Percival.
The morning class had already ended but there's still many students left in the academy participating in their club's activities, borrowing academy's facility for learning and practice, or just playing around enjoying their youth.
As soon as the door opened Percival saw Wallace together with a young woman. He looked at the woman and blinked twice before comprehending the situation.
”Good afternoon, Headmaster.” Wallace greeted Percival not noticing any abnormalities as he noticed that there's two unfamiliar people within the room.
'Another Battle Mage? Are they the security personnel Yumi mentioned?' Wallace inwardly thought.
”It's good indeed. Have a seat.” Percival replied and gestured for the two to take a seat opposite the two suited men.
”This is Lucian and Max that will be escorting the two of you. You can assume Yumi as your manager in Montego.”
Wallace glanced at the two guys wearing black suit and looking competent with their body build. Lucian was in his thirties that also looked like a rich business instead of a bodyguard. He had a blond hair and a handsome face while Max is a bald middle-aged man and had a scar on his forehead. Scars can easily be healed by utilizing Mage Doctor's ability and if the wound is just recent, there's even a potion that can be used to avoid having a scar, so he assumed that the scar may have a deeper meaning for Max.
Wallace greeted the two but noticed that Yumi did not react at all.
”I know them.” Yumi said as if she read his mind.
A few more minutes had passed as the five of them discussed the arrangements that will happen in Montego.
”You've been made aware about the rules in the competition. So I have nothing more to say. You can always ask for her help if you needed.” Percival said as he glanced at Yumi.
”Alright. I will do so.” Wallace replied. All his thoughts was actually looking for possible loophole while in their guard that he could use to escape. Luckily, they already discussed the arrangements today so he could make further plans.
”You three can head out first and meet with the driver at the carpark. I'll talk to Yumi first.”
Percival instructed.
The three men stood up and didn't ask anymore questions as they headed outside to meet with the driver Percival mentioned. Apparently, they needed a service to bring them at the airport.
”Yumi, you have to make sure that you won't lose sight of him there.” Percival had a serious look on his face as he faced Yumi. The latter also no longer wore a cheerful face but now smirking like she's telling that she all understood and there's no need to remind her.
”I know. Isn't that the reason why you chose me?” Yumi replied.
”Once Wallace left the country, only the three of you would be his protection aside from the ministry's given security.” Percival had left other words unsaid. The two already learned the news that quite a few Battle Mages from a certain organization went ahead to visit the country of Montego, there's even an Adept Mage together with them.
This organization is suspected to have dealings with the Cryptic Link Project but no solid evidence could be discovered by the police. It is suspected to be the organization that had produced mutated magicians and possesses several Magic Jammers in their own usage.
Unfortunately for them, the Lucent Force from the government had it's canceller that's is why their movement was very minimal at the moment.
They learned last month how this Magic Jammer Canceller magic structure heavily affects their operations when they tried to steal a Sealed Mana Artifact here in Tanza City. This made them desperate in cracking the magic structure. They spent decades to slowly collect a number of Magic Jammer but suddenly, an unknown student created something that could disable them.
With this in mind, there will be a high chance that Wallace would be targeted once they've seen an opportunity. If they successfully captured him, they'll be able to use him and learn all things about the canceller.
