Chapter 469: Rena (1/2)
After that talk, Kai rested his body for another day before going to Belarus with Sofia and Roselyn. However, Rena, the S Rank Magician, decided to invite him when he left the base to go together.
Kai then went to the military base and found Rena standing in front of the base, waiting for him. There were no people standing next to her, including the generals of the base.
Kai didn't care personally, so he just ignored it and walked straight to Rena while extending his hand. ”Hello.”
”Hello.” Rena smiled and shook his hand. ”Nice to meet you. I am sure this is the first time we met. I'm Rena Alberona. It's an honor to fight together with you.”
Kai nodded and said, ”It's my pleasure.”
”As much as I want to say many things here, I think we should get going immediately. I have told the others that I will handle this personally, so no one will bother us.” She offered a suggestion, which had a sweet ring in his ears.
Kai agreed without hesitation. ”Sure. Let's depart then.”
Rena nodded and turned to Roselyn and Sofia. ”It's nice to see two new S Rank Magicians side by side. I have met both of you a few times. You both have grown up indeed.”
Sofia smiled and said, ”We last met a few months ago when Evan and I returned to the US Base.”
”Haha, indeed. Leisa often threw a fit, trying to gain Evan's attention. Anyway, I won't say anything about it and let her deal with this problem herself. In the future, she will understand whether it's just puppy love, adoration, or something else. I will support her in every choice she has.” Rena shrugged.
”Haha…” Sofia chuckled. ”Leisa must be happy to have a mother who will support her.”
Rena then turned to Roselyn. ”It's been a while since I last visited you. You were small back then and hid behind Arnaud…”
”That's more than six years ago.” Roselyn tried to correct her, but Rena just laughed it off while making their way to the helicopter she prepared that would take them to Belarus.
No one approached them at all and the soldiers they met quickly saluted since all four of them were S Rank Magicians, even though Sofia and Roselyn were not popular yet.
After a few minutes' walk, Kai found a helicopter that was ready to take off any time. Rena simply pointed her finger at the helicopter, saying, ”That's our helicopter. It's going to take a few hours since we can talk privately here instead of on the military airplane. Do you happen to hate helicopters?”
”Nope.” Kai shook his head. ”I don't mind sitting for a few hours since we will only start the mission tomorrow.”
”Fair enough. Let's come in then.” Rena entered first, followed by Kai, Sofia, and Roselyn. After that, Rena signaled them to take off.
In the helicopter, Kai sat in front of Rena with a serious expression as he activated his Sound Insulation Room and asked, ”So…”
Before he continued, Rena smiled and continued his words, ignoring the Sound Insulation Magic since she understood his reason to be cautious. ”Let's talk about Felice.”
”…” Roselyn, who was like Felice's elder sister, took a peek and tried to listen to their conversation. She just couldn't wrap her heart since it was Felice's future they were talking about.
”I have heard the reasons, so what are you planning to do?”
”It seems this girl is a bit special to you, eh?” Rena smiled and asked, ”Why are you helping her to this extent? She is just a girl you know for a day.”
Kai closed his eyes and remained silent. Before answering her question, Kai chose to ask another question first. ”What are you planning about this information?”
”You are so stiff.” Rena sighed and shrugged. ”Well, that's why it's hard to take advantage of you. Anyway, I won't do anything to her and will abide by my promise. I just want to know the reason to see how I should treat her.”
Kai took a deep breath and sighed. ”Something just clicked between us. It felt like when I met my Teacher, Ria Ross.”
”Ho?! It seems geniuses indeed attract each other.” She smirked and continued, ”Interesting.”
