“Listen, even though this scarecrow’s estimated strength is E-class, the scarecrow’s danger level has been raised to D-class. So, we have to carry out the mission accordingly.

“Do you understand?” a man with a buzz cut said in a deep voice to the four people in front of him.

“Understood!”

…

Except for Lucius, everyone else in the mission had the strength of a D-class.

The man with the buzz cut, who was the leader of the team, had reached the level of a D+, just one step away from a C-class.

It was obvious how much Rei valued this mission.

Originally, according to the leader’s intention, members participating in this mission had to be at least a D-class.

However, Lucius was, after all, one of the first people in the Mage Association to receive intelligence.

In addition, Lucius’s younger brother was killed by the scarecrow.

Therefore, the leader made an exception and allowed him, a grade-F member, to participate in this mission.

“Lucius, are you sure the scarecrow’s nearby?”

One of the young men dressed in red robes frowned slightly, looking doubtful.

After all, the intelligence showed that the scarecrow had been committing crimes near Nord.

Lucius had brought them to Saxe, which was a hundred kilometers away.

This was hard for people to accept.

What would an F-class know?

“I’m sure the scarecrow’s nearby,” Lucius said with certainty as he looked at the Strange Detection Radar in front of him.

At this moment, the red-robed man spoke again.

“That can’t be right. I remember that the intelligence report said that this scarecrow was a strange new creature that had just been born recently.

“Logically speaking, its intelligence would be very low, and they would only act according to their instincts.

“How could he possibly come to Saxe which is 100 kilometers away from Nord?

“If you can’t come up with any convincing opinions, I’ll ask the leader to assign someone else to carry out the mission.”

The other three people who were with them shared the same sentiments as the red-robed man.

Their leader actually allowed an F-class member to participate in this mission. They were very dissatisfied.

In their opinion, the leader’s arrangement was simply adding a burden to the team.

This was a mission, not a joke. How could they be so emotional?

At this time, although the leader did not speak, he was also looking at Lucius, hoping he had a reasonable explanation.

Allowing him to participate in the mission was also due to some personal feelings.

However, the mission was still a mission, and as the leader, he would not allow Lucius to lead the team recklessly.

Lucius was naturally aware of the rest of the team member’s opinions toward the situation. He showed them strange detection radar in his hand and said, “Do you see this?”

Everyone moved forward to take a look at the screen. The red-robed man looked at Lucius with disdain. He pointed at the radar’s screen and said, “The red dot means it has detected something strange.

“If the detector detects a blue dot, it means that there are other detectors in that area.

“This is a function used to observe the position of our companions.

“Don’t you even know how to use the strange detector?”

This time, the doubt in the eyes of the other team members became obvious.

“What’s wrong with the Mage Association? They don’t even know how to use the strange detection radar.

“Such person is actually participating in a D-rank mission. Isn’t this just fooling around?”

Their leader also frowned slightly.

Even though he had great confidence in this mission, the other party was just a newly born strange creature.

Even if he killed two F-rank members, so what? His strength was at most F+ or E-.

Not to mention, if he were to carry out the mission alone, there would not be any problems, let alone leading a small team.
