310 Peregrine Falcon
Even with his eyes closed, Fein knows the location and placements of the trees, rocks, and insects around him in detail.
What he used just now was the bat’s famous ‘Echolocation’! Though, he found out that it was a bit tasteless since his powerful perception can achieve the same effect.
“Since the result was satisfactory, it’s time for me to go home. Thank you for your hard work!” Fein walked to his partner with a smile and hugged him. “I’ll be back next week. Then we will work together to make the perfect gene serum compatible with you.”
Brick smiled and gave Fein a manly hug. “Bastard, don’t make me wait too much.”
“Yeah, I’ll make sure to come back early. Since we will find my missing friend after that.”
“You still didn’t find where he was? Didn’t the main branch send their most elite intelligence unit to track him?” Brick asked with doubt.
He was quite familiar with his partner’s friend. Seeing that they still didn’t find his traces, he couldn’t help but think that something bad happened.
“No, I don’t know where he went. My captain told me that he had also disappeared like this in the past.” Fein felt depressed about this.
He felt inexplicable about how a person would disappear just like that without traces. But there was something he was certain of. Kidd wasn’t kidnapped or something. He left willingly and went to a place that has powerful concealment.
.....
“Adios.” Fein turned into a bird as he said this.
Fein turned into a crow-sized falcon. He has a blue-grey back, barred white underparts, and a black head.
“Goodbye!” Brick was familiar with the bird Fein turned into. After all, it was the fastest bird that exists. Peregrine Falcon, can fly at speeds above 186 miles an hour, but only when stooping or diving. Yet, it still has an average speed of 69 miles an hour.
“Do I look cool in this bird form?” Fein spoke in his falcon form. His voice became high-pitch and he sound weird. After all, animals aren’t supposed to talk in the first place.
Brick looked at Fein with a strange expression. If he compares it with the eagle, it looks much worse. Fein, in his Peregrine Falcon form, has a body length of 34 to 58 cm (13-23 in) and a wingspan of 74 to 120 cm. And his tail measures 13 to 19 cm.
The Peregrine Falcon’s back and the long pointed wings were colored bluish-black to slate grey with indistinct darker barring. His wingtips are also black.
The white to rusty underparts are barred with thin clean bands of dark brown or black. His tail colored like the back but with thin clean bars, is long, narrow, and rounded at the end, with a black tip and a white band at the very end. The top of the head and a “mustache” along the cheeks are black, contrasting sharply with the pale sides of the neck and white throat. The cere is yellow, as are the feet, and the beak and claws are black.
The upper beak is notched near the tip, an adaptation that would enable Fein to kill prey by severing the spinal column at the neck. An immature bird is much browner, with streaked, rather than barred, underparts, and has a pale bluish cere and orbital ring.
“How to say... You indeed look cooler, but I prefer eagles.” Brick has a mocking smile on his face.
Fein suddenly felt offended for some reason. So he flew on top of Brick’s head and utilized his beak to peck him.
“Ouch!” Brick took a deep breath at the power of the small beak contained. He caressed his head gently with his hands to ease the pain.
...
A bird was flying in the sky. The speed it flies would leave anyone astounded. The clouds in the sky parted as the bird kept producing a strong air current around it.
Yeah, the bird, or specifically, the Peregrine Falcon, is none other than Fein. Everything he sees in his eyes had already become blurred due to his speed.
‘This type of transportation is really convenient.’ Fein thought inwardly as he enjoys the feeling of the wind brushing through his feathers. The trees and the buildings below him had already appeared like small dots.
Just like that, Fein flew for hours and he already crossed eight cities during those times before he finally saw the outline of the Ranger’s Eye.
The Peregrine Falcon made a swooping motion as he descended. And his speed had reached three hundred ninety kilometers per hour!
When he was only three meters close to the ground, the Peregrine Falcon turned into a human in an instant.
Fein hurriedly scurried his system’s storage space for clothes. To his embarrassment, he doesn’t have clothes when transforming back into a human. “Damn, that was embarrassing. Would I always become naked when transforming back? No, I have to think of a solution.”
Fortunately, he discovered this shortcoming quite early. Or else, it would be too shameful if someone saw him without clothes. Although he was confident with his Weiner’s size, he doesn’t consider himself an exhibitionist!
Fein walked to the entrance of the Ranger’s Eye base and went in. He came here because he wants to see his captain’s arrangement regarding their mission of finding Kidd.
...
“You’re finally back. Where the fuck did you go!? You just disappeared for months without informing me!” Gregory bellowed at the young man in front of him.
This was surprising since Gregory rarely gets angry. Michael also stood at the side, frowning.
“We are about to perform a mission just to find you. But since you are here now, that won’t be necessary now.” Michael sighed at Kidd, who suddenly appeared after he went missing for years.
Kidd scratched his head with a wary smile on his face. If one looks closely, one would notice his clean-shaven beard. He still looks the same, but his aura became heavier than before.
“I’m sorry. I just finished some business. You know that I can’t really talk about it.”
“Is it about your family?” Gregory couldn’t help but sigh. He was upset that he couldn’t do anything about Kidd’s problem. But he can’t really do anything if Kidd doesn’t want to disclose his personal problems.
