Chapter 25 - Sharing Pointers (1/2)

”Hahaha... Vince, another good day at Haven, Huh? Not even a single should was lost today.” A floating figure spoke joyfully.

”Yes, yes. But these cultists are really getting overconfident as of late. We better let the higher ups know about this.” A figure dressed in white responded.

”Quite a shame we couldn't take out the leader ourselves, but thank goodness we saw the disturbance cause by that red mist. It felt like a bomb of VP just exploded there!”

”You're right Conrad, but it's best to keep this a secret. Whoever it was, they probably don't want to be exposed, we owe them anyway.” 'Vince' responded as he started flying away.

”Yep, best to keep our hands out of dark places!” Conrad shouted as he followed from behind.

Everyone at the hub was left wondering what on earth had just happened to them. To some, it was a near death experience. To others, it was a sight to behold. And to all, an event that defies reason.

”You there, who are you?” A female student asked Simon as she pointed at him with a shaking finger.

”I am Simon, and who may you be?” Simon smiled as he went back to the vendor to buy more popcorn.

”Sam Jin. How did you manage to do that?! You killed more than a couple of those elite ranks! What rank are you?”

'Hmmm... I can't say expert, because that would be too annoying to deal with. I can't say master, because of the same reason. But a I can't be an intermediate rank, because they'd probably interrogate-'

'Nope, they wouldn't. I specifically designed Haven as a meritocracy. But then again, intermediate rank is probably not good enough to convince this girl. Elite rank should be justifiable.'

”I am Elite rank, 6th vision.” Simon plainly said as he grabbed a handful of popcorn.

'Shame I had to leave my other 3 bags earlier... what a waste of good snacks.'

”Oh my... how in the world did you get to Elite rank, not to mention 6th vision?” The girl asked.

”Training.” Simon lied as naturally as he ate snacks.

”What type of training?”

”Trade secret.”

'I can't go around saying I chugged magical pills and did video game style quests.'

”I will pay you a good sum if you tell me.”

'She's not budging! Did nearly dying bruise her ego?'
