The last branch of AK’s defense is the Watch. The department is responsible for the security and escorting of AK’s citizens. For now, they only engaged with beasts that try to attack construction and transportation teams, but Lew knows that they will need to provide internal security in a not-so-unforeseen future. While the Agency demands versatility and the military pursues lethality, the Watch’s training focuses on protection and neutralizing threats. Though it might seem similar, the goal can…-

Lew tried to make some small talk to brush away his previous indiscretion. Fortunately, the 40 minutes they spent walking from the reception to the Ministry’s office was enough to restore their usual friendly exchange. The Tunnel was divided into five sections of roughly three kilometers, and the Ministry was located in the third section. Each section has its own effect and power supplies, which could be connected to other areas when needed. After several tests, the Alchemists concluded that extending…

Year 5, Fall, Third Month, Third Week “Do I really have to move?” Lew made sure to say it with a pleading tone and a sullen expression. He clearly didn’t mind looking childish in front of his subordinates. “Yes!” The answer came in unison from three different voices, leaving no room for objection. Even so, the Fighter wouldn’t go down without a fight. “Am I not the boss here? Why does it feel that I’m the one following orders?” The secretary and the agents accompanying him…

Moira observed the Ministry of Education’s staff with a heavy heart. Although the Ministry held the same organizational status as the other Ministries, their current resources couldn’t even be compared with a small department. Their building only had three rooms for studying, one for entrance and reception, and a staff room. The rooms were poorly furnished with a few tables, chairs, and a stone board. Technically, the Department of Magic Tools’ Studies, where the operators are trained, was also…

Year 5, Fall, Second Month, First Week “Ernest, I have to talk to you…” The project manager danced around the kitchen, picking up breakfast, gently kissing his wife, and tickling his one-year-old daughter. Unfortunately, he was pressed with time and could barely spare a few minutes for his family. Since last week, when he was assigned to the project responsible for improving transportation between the Capital and the Tunnel, he didn’t have time to sit through a proper meal. Though he would…

“I don’t think they’re gonna show up…” Samia kept her eyes on the locator, but her perception was also focused on the hoodied boy standing beside her. Although he had sworn an oath, she didn’t trust it. After all, they could have missed a loophole, and though Akino had never shown any hostility, a month ago, he was part of the enemy forces. Even so, she felt relieved after freeing him. As the boy recovered, it became more uncomfortable and dangerous to maintain him restrained. The bubble…

Year 5, Fall, First Month, First Week “That’s more like it.” Karl put the designs away and took a sip from the strong black tea. He tried to control the reaction, but a deep frown appeared over his face once the drink hit the right taste buds. Or should it be the wrong ones? Even though he fought against the open display of immature taste, the bitterness of the tea bested him, as it happened every other day. The Alchemist refused to admit that he didn’t like the black tea because it was too…

Fortunately, Nora remembered something Mason said when he pleaded for permission to work as a porter with the Adventurer group. Why couldn’t they have a better life? Hadn’t they work for it? When did they ever hide from work? Had they committed a crime that condemned them to a life of suffering? No, they didn’t. Her family and herself deserved better, and her son had finally found a way to get it. She looked at her husband’s complicated expression and put on a brave front. “What’re them for…

Year 5, Summer, Third Month, First Week Mason stared anxiously at the misty lake. For the first time, he felt something that wasn’t pure wonder while looking at the mysterious fog that protected AP from prying eyes. Breakfast shifted uncomfortably inside his stomach as he saw a dot coming through the mist. Soon, the image became clearer, and a boat’s form appeared. The operator stood at the front, confident that they would reach AP without any problems. Behind him, Mason counted a dozen or so…
