50 Team Whisky (2/2)
The mask solidly covered even the back of his head. There were theories that he kept his face hidden because of a disfiguring scar on his face.
-You have been temporarily drafted. Han. Follow me.

Silence wrote in his electronic notebook to express his thoughts. One could feel a chilling coldness from his words, though he didn't express himself verbally.
'He must not like me.'
Han stood up from his seat.
”Will this be a long-term draft?”
Silence nodded. Han looked to Jose.
”Until I return, Jose, you will be the leader of Squad 13. They're in your care.”
”Okay.”
Jose didn't ask questions. Han followed behind Silence. Of course Silence didn't speak another word. Even the back of his head seemed to let out a chilling aura.
”Excuse me, would it be okay to know who requested for me?”
Silence spun around and took out his electronic notebook. This was a very inconvenient form of communication.
-Sergeant Red. Stop annoying me.
”Okay.”
Han shut his mouth and followed Silence. Han never entered the third year dorms before. Many youths who looked to be third years stared at Han.
”So that's the brat who's the thirteenth squad leader.”
”He defended against the Elu Hunters and werewolves in an impossible situation without a single fatality.”
There didn't seem to be many third years. They looked more relaxed than the second years. Everyone was either training their stamina or reading books. There were no unified drills or lectures.
They passed the third year dorms and escaped the complicated maze-like building structures. All the buildings were labeled with abbreviations so Han had no idea what the structures were for.
Silence entered a building. The inside seemed similar to a basic student dorm. The dorms had all sorts of convenience rooms. He saw two familiar faces in the common room.
'Sergeant Red… and Simon Dell.'
Simon also recognized Han.
”Reporting Sergeant Red sir.”
Han saluted.
”Stop looking like pitiful mutts whose bones have been taken away, and sit down. This will take a while to explain.”
Sergeant Red said, while Silence pushed Han onto a chair.
”The remaining squad code is W. Choose a squad code between white and whisky.”
Sergeant Red didn't bother to brief them on the situation and spoke. However, Simon and Han had quick senses to read between the lines to understand the situation.
'The current members here will make a team. We will be making a temporary squad for a certain objective.'
The room went quiet for a period of time. Silence broke the standstill with his electronic notebook.
-White.
Han and Simon also chose White. Sergeant Red showed a crooked smile and said.
”Then our squad code name will be Whisky. Everyone here will work temporarily in Squad Whisky. Han, Simon. Is there anything you don't understand?”
Simon raised his hand.
”Why is it me and Han? Silence is a third year, but we are both second years.”
”That is a good question. Usually, we will form temporary squads from amongst the third years.”
”Ark is a psyker training institution; however, when countries from around the world request for our aid, we will lend them some of our troops. The general public is still not aware, but many minions remain hidden in different locations around the world. Nations around the world would rather send psykers than their own military forces to deal with the minions. They help sponsor Ark by donating an astronomical amount of money, and they do everything they can to wring out their money's worth from us. The third years are the reserve troops made for this purpose.”
”This would probably be helpful towards transfering into third year.”
Simon said. Sergeant Red nodded his head.
”Yes, we are on our way to Sinuiju right now. Our research department traced the remnants of whatever attacked our planes, and found that it should have been from a source one kilometer away from the dimensional crack. We speculate that it had been an Elu mage. We will capture the Elu mage alive and return to Ark.”
