It was the day of the escort mission. Olivia and I were ready to go. We had over-prepared for this trip, but I could say that it was worth it.
We bought a noise canceller because of Olivia's request. It was also suitable for recon missions which we might need later on. Yeah, I bought it totally because of this.
There was also a tent artifact that we bought. The tent we bought was pretty small on the outside. But inside was the size of the room.
Olivia and I were pretty loaded with money. And at the rate we were gaining them, we bought more artifacts just in case.
Both of us bought a sensor device detecting any hostile enemies within one hundred meters of the artifact.
We also bought artifacts for armor and boots. Mainly for Olivia. I wouldn't want to get her hurt, and she needed a way to run if a situation turned for the worst.
The armor we bought for Olivia was a pretty light weighted armor made to increase speed by twenty percent. With the boots, it added up to seventy percent.
"Olivia, let's go to our meeting area." The mission poster had requested us to meet at the medical bay of their store.
Olivia and I would be transporting with some other guards from their store. It wouldn't make sense if the two of us were the only ones to protect their product.
Travis' Medical Progression, A genius male doctor, created this company. Many branches of this company had spread out wide in every country known. I had heard that Travis was already in his eighties and near deathbed.
It was a shame that he didn't have mana to keep him alive longer. Sometimes life isn't too fair for people who have talents.
Meeting at our destined location, a girl of our age greeted us. "Charlie and Oliva, right?" It looks like the receptionist had already informed us that the two of us had taken her request.
Olivia and I nodded at her confirming that it was indeed us. "I'm Kayla Eyelander. I'm your contractor." Wasn't Travis's last name Eyelander? Maybe she was his granddaughter.
"We will do our best to protect your product," Olivia stated, trying to keep the vibes positive.
"I hope the both of you will do that."
"We will be departing in half an hour." That shouldn't be too long.
"It would be wise for you to get to know the others." Kayla looked at the others. Like us, four more students were waiting for the departure of our escort mission.
Walking to the four students, they were talking among themselves. "Angie, do you think you could be the leader just because you're a senior?"
Oh boy, they were already fighting. Seeing that Olivia and I had come over, the seemingly angry girl smiled at us.
"Both of you are first years. I had heard that you were one of the strongest exchange students." Was I that famous? That is all it matters if they don't know my true strength and family name.
"I'm Kimi Lenoragate from Class S2, and these two are my friends, Lora and Jess." Kimi had neatly introduced herself. Kimi was some dog beastmen, along with two of her other friends.
"Our proclaimed leader Angie is a student from Class E3." I looked at Angie. Her expression turned red when Kimi kept mentioning her class rank.
"How deplorable we would have to take command from a student of Class E."
If the other person seems dependable, I wouldn't mind, but seeing how Angie would lose her cool quickly means she wasn't worthy of leadership.
"I don't think a leader is necessary. Kayla, our employer, would probably be better for the job. She looks like she has been doing this for years."
Travis' Medical Progression company was originally from the country of Evergreen Forest. Travis was a male elf. In fairy tales, the elf was supposed to have longevity, but Travis doesn't have mana, so it doesn't apply to him.
"There you have it. Even our newcomers don't want to be in your lead." Angie could only clench her fist in anger. Unable to do anything about it.
"Now that we're on the topic of getting to know one another. Why don't the both of you tell me what your magic is? It would be easier for us to work together if a problem were to happen.
"My magic is fire, while my friend here can make food that would heal any of us." I had said what I needed, and Kimi had nodded.
"Healing? That's pretty rare. Glad to have both of you." She raised her hand, waiting for us to give her a handshake. I didn't want to be rude, so I took her hand and shook it.
"What magic do you seniors use?" It wasn't fair that only the both of us told our magic.
"My magic allows me to enchant myself physically. In contrast, Lora slows down the opposing force. Jess here weakens the opposing force." I would say their magic would work well together, maybe. Maybe that's why Kimi brought them along.
"I see, then about Angie?" Even if she was from E class, she was two years older than Olivia and I. So she should be helpful in something.
"My ability allows me to see through the weak points of my enemy." Before Kimi could answer, Angie did so herself.
Her magic was more practical in groups but useless against opponents that were stronger than her.
I could see why she wanted to be the leader, but even if she were the leader, she would need to be calm and collected all the time, which I haven't seen at the moment.
Before we left for the escort mission, our employer Kayla did a head count. She didn't want to leave until everyone was there.
With everyone arriving on time, it was time for us to depart from Avaris Royal Academy.
