CHAPTER UNKNOWN

At the Headquarters

There are 11 seats that were already occupied and 4 seats that are still empty. While waiting, there's only silence in the room until someone entered.

*Creak*

The door opened and a tall man with a visible beard wearing a fashionable clothing and sunglasses entered.

"Oh? And here I thought I was the last one to arrive, looks like those two are still last as always" He said as he sat down on one of the empty seats.

"Why won't you sit down on one of the those empty seat, Drake?" Simon, a guy in his early 20s wearing street clothes, asked as he snickered.

"This brat, Why don't you do it if you feel like doing so?" Drake said with a smiling face as he suppressed his urge to smack this rude guy's head on the table.

There's no way he would set down on one of those empty seats that are beside each other, not unless he's tired of living would he ever sat there ever again, he could still remember the traumatic experience he had when he tried to sit there.

Simon was about to rebuke when he heard the door opened.

*Clack*

The door opened, revealing Seraph as she put off her hoodie, followed by Liam on her tail.

"Well, speaking of the devil" He whispered.

"???" Liam stared at the silent atmosphere around the table, but he instinctively knew that they were talking about them a few minutes ago.

"Woah~ Snacks early in the morning? Thank you!" Seraph said enthusiastically as she takes some snacks on the table.

"What morning, It's already 6:45 in the evening Seraph" Monique, a Lolita with porcelain skin tone, bright blue eyes wearing a Victorian style dress full of ribbon designs with rich white, blue and violet colors. Adding the fact that she always carry a white and black teddy bear everywhere she went, She totally looked like a doll.

"Oh? Is that so? So it's already evening" Seraph said, uninterested as she munched down the snacks she has.

A little while later, the door opened again, this time it revealed a young and tall woman with long wavy coal like hair wearing a military designed uniform in which added to her strong demeanor as she sat at the empty seat at the very end of the table.

"I'm sure every one of you already got a guess as to why I called you lot here" Xiannah said as she looked at them one by one checking that everyone is present in the meeting.

"Well I kinda got a guess as for why we're gathered here, but I'm not sure if it's right" Jade at the very end of the lined table said as he played with his dagger.

"While it's cool that you got an idea, you better put that thing down before you see a hole on your head" Ciel who's seating across Jade said in a monotone tone and an expressionless face, in these cases Jade would usually joke around about ciel's tone and facial expression but seeing him stare at his dagger, Jade knew he better take his words seriously, or he might really get a hole on his head and hid his dagger.

".., Well let's go to the point first and put down all of your weapons" Xiannah said as she turn her chair into the monitor behind her and there reveal many templates and plans.

"First of all, we found a new portals that seemed to have appeared like the ones before, I don't think it's a problem right now but it might become one of 'those' portals that we need to resolve in order to close down or else it will become a new kind of of portal where new types of monsters will come out. If you could, recruit some guys that could become helpful to us." Xiannah continued as the next slide shows up.

"The portal was estimated to be S Rank and out of everyone here only 5 people will get permission to join the subjugation." She said as she turn off them monitor.

"I get the Idea, but I don't get why you need to gather all of us in order to subjugate this portal when you're only gonna give permission to five people?" Ciel asked suspiciously, from the way she said it, it would seem reasonable to call them but if only 5 people are allowed in the subjugation then why bother gathering all 14 of the top Agents?

It seems to be that they're trying to put them against each other.

Xiannah smiled as ciel ask her that, To be honest she already expected that question and she already has an answer in hand.

"That's exactly why, you lots that are gathered here are to compete against each other in order to join the subjugation." As soon as xiannah finished talking her part, the room was filled with heavy atmosphere, it is clear what xiannah wanted to say and they clearly get it.

Amidst all the tension, Seraph break into the heavy silence.

" 'Out of every one here only 5 people will get permission to join the subjugation' you say, so you mean to say that we aren't the ones to enter the portal are we?" Seraph continued to munch her cookies, and with her sentence everyone in the room was startled and stared at xiannah who's currently smiling.

"Hmm, you're unexpectedly quick on the uptake today Seraph" everyone in the room sighed and the tension relieved.

"So that was it."

"Hmm? Why? What else are you expecting me to let you do?" Xiannah asked innocently but the rest just looked at her with a sighed. She's messing with them again.
