On the way to the mission hall, Eryndor also put a message in the group chat about his departure for the mission.

    There was no timing given on the information sent to him so he couldn’t tell them when he would return either.

    Picking up his pace, Eryndor made his way towards the mission hall.

    It was tiresome, but the anticipation and excitement kept him going.

    Finally, he reached the mission hall.

    Seeing that professor Melissa, who was supposed to be introducing him to the team, wasn’t here yet, he grabbed himself something to eat.

    Approximately twenty minutes later when he had finished filling his stomach, Eryndor caught sight of professor Melissa.

    Instead of the usual tracksuit of professors, she was dressed in casual clothing.

    Her bright red hair and eyes went well with the light tone of her shirt. The fancier looking track pants paired with sport shoes completed her outfit beautifully, making Eryndor go in a trance for a second.

    Catching himself in time, Eryndor stood up with his bag and approached her.

    "Hello, Professor Melissa, can I know when the team will be arriving?"

    She glanced at her phone, reading a message which had just arrived before looking back up at Eryndor.

    "They won’t be arriving in the Academy. That team is fully professional with a stage seven of Qi Condensation realm heading it.

    "They have no business in the Academy which is more of a beginner’s playground.

    "C’mon, let’s go. We’ll be meeting them at the gate."

    Eryndor nodded at her, feeling that it indeed made sense.

    A team which was qualified to take on the mission of meeting Eldritch Entities would indeed have no job being anywhere near the Academy.

    Eryndor followed professor Melissa till the gate of the Academy.

    They didn’t wait long before Eryndor could see a car approaching them.

    Turning to Melissa, he asked.

    "Is it that vehicle?"

    "Just a useless piece of baggage. I don’t know why our great leader would agree with this."

    Eryndor’s eye twitched, reigning in the impulse to ask what was wrong. He also didn’t want to needlessly pry into other’s minds.

    Taking a deep breath, he calmed down.

    Liliana, who had been quietly driving, spoke out.

    "To me, both of you are useless pieces of trash as well. Should I not have brought you both?"

    Ken taunted her from the back.

    "As if Boss Calix would allow that."

    Liliana still had an indifferent face, replying without a hint of emotion in her voice.

    "Did you forget about the family behind me? If I exert Sinclair’s influence then Calix wouldn’t be able to stop me either."

    The situation in Team Lockheim wasn’t harmonious. After the recent retirement of their previous leader, things had only turned for worse, with a possibility of complete division of the team.

    Calix was the highest ranking member of Team Lockheim after the previous leader, but at a certain point Liliana joined them.

    Being as talented as she was, Liliana was soon on the same level of Calix in terms of combat prowess.

    Tensions had already begun rising at that time as the leader back then seemed to favor Liliana more despite Calix being an old member, and also possessing far more authority than Liliana.

    Everyone thought the Sinclairs, the family Liliana originated from, had bribed him.

    There were only rumors of this going around, but when the leader retired and declared Liliana the next leader, it completely exploded.

    With not much things to work around with, Liliana was stranded leading a team with only a few loyal people.

    Ken shut up when Liliana replied to him this way.

    He was painfully aware that his Boss Calix had zero power to resist the Sinclairs if things came to a blow.

    Thankfully, Boss Calix was already preparing for a division, looking to form a new team. I would no longer have to be under this woman when he finishes the procedures.

    Eryndor’s eyes widened when he heard that Team Leader Liliana was from the Sinclair family.

    Their situation was far different from the Ravencroft family.
