Chapter 9 - First mission

"Hey Samantha .." Rose said at the lady who was busy attending the other people "Oh .. Rose .. it's been a long time .." she shook her head and turned to look at Theo "This is soldier 120 000 .. and we're looking for a suitable mission for him .." Samantha looked at Theo for a while and smiled biting her bottom lip .. Theo raised his eyebrows reacting to her actions .. "Hi ..." he said as he realised that Samantha was looking at him for a long time now ..

"Damn girl .. you have a hot toy boy .. " she whispered to Rose .. who was flushed with redness .. "No .. he's not my toy boy .. besides we're not even a thing .. he's actually older than me and you .. he's five years older than us .." Samantha then rushed over to Theo's side .. "Hey there .. Samantha Galloway here .." she held out her hand for a handshake .. Theo hastily took it and shook it anyway .. "I'm Theo " Samantha looked at him weirdly and Theo knew what she was going to ask so he opened his mouth to speak .. "I don't have a last name .. " he narrowed his eyes at her .. but she didn't even pay attention to him .. she was day dreaming .. 'Wow his hands are so soft .. if only he was first rank soldier .. oh wait I don't care about that I can just take him off Rose's hands ..' she thought never letting go of Theo's hand.

Theo tried removing his hand but he couldn't .. he didn't want to remove it harshly so he looked at Rose and mouthed .. 'Whats wrong with her ..?' Rose shrugged with an apologetic smile on her face .. "Ahem .." Samantha snapped out of her daze and went back to Rose's side .. "The mission please .." she smiled at her .. with a mocking expression .. "Okay here you go .. this is 199 990 rank mission .. we don't have any mission above that .." Rose took the mechanical device out of Samantha's hand .. "Hey Theo let's go .. " Theo quickly hurried his steps .. not wanting to be in Samantha's presence .. "Don't worry she's always like that towards men .. especially handsome ones like you .." she swallowed her words afterwards with her face sulked .. 'What did I just say ..' she thought .. Theo took as a compliment but didn't respond to it .. she halted her steps infront in the middle of a large room where there was no one except for her and Theo .. "199 990 rank mission .. options" a wide window interface appeared infront of her and Theo .. "So what kind of mission do you want to go on ..?" he walked forward pondering about the awesome missions that were put on the system .. "Can we do two missions at once ..?" she then nodded at him .. but because simply she wasn't worried .. there wouldn't be any danger in places for lower ranks .. especially for a person in her calibre .. "So I'll take this mission and this one .." he tapped on two slots that's started to glow bright blue .. 'First mission - hunting Soldier rank creatures .. : 10 pecuniary

Second mission - hunting rare herbs and plants .. 60 pecuniary .. mission uploaded on Emissary's system' .

When the window interface disappeared .. the metallic ground started lighting up a blue bright glow that sent chills to their bodies .. "What is this feeling ..?" Rose looked at him and replied "It depends on the mission you choose to take .. for example if you want to go and hunt ice creatures then .. you'll go on a snow mountain or icy places .. " she walked to his side .. "We must hold hands .. so we can be teleported to the same place .." Theo didn't wait for her to finish and took her hand .. "Okay .. let's go"

The ground made it look like they were being swallowed but they were actually being teleported to another place ..

When they opened their eyes .. they found themselves in a blizzard .. with a few icy trees around .. "Damn it .. it's really cold here" Rose covered her shoulders with her hands that looked pale .. then after she said that .. Theo pressed her body against his and started to release out his lightning energy on her .. "This will keep you warm .." when he released her from his hold .. the energy he released went into her body and now she wasn't feeling .. so cold instead she felt warm .. "What is this .." she looked at her glowing golden hands and body .. "That is my energy .. I spread it into your body .. to make your body more warm" he started to advance forward like the blizzard wasn't affecting him a bit .. and even though he released his energy into Rose's body .. she couldn't see through the blizzard .. "Hey .. even though I'm not cold anymore .. the blizzard is still blocking my eyesight !! .." she looked around and heard no reply .. and she started panicking because Theo was the one who had a teleportation device on him since he was the emissary in the mission .. "Hey can you hear me ..!?" she turned around a few times with her heart beating fast .. and when she turned around the last time .. she immediately stumbled over after seeing him so close to her face "You know you should've kept following behind .." he held her by the waist and picked her up .. "When I gave you the energy I kept calling out for you .. but you weren't there .." she averted her gaze away from him "Sorry .." she sighed .. Theo didn't hesitate this time and took her hand and started advancing towards the storm ..

When they got into the middle part of the storm the blizzard suddenly grew strong even making Theo slow his pace to not be thrown off balance by the harsh wind .. "You okay .. there " Rose shouted on top of her lungs after feeling Theo's pace slow down .. the moments she said that she saw Theo's fingers slowly turning into ice .. "Hey .. are you okay back there ..?!" her eyes started to get teary .. just then the ice broke leaving Theo with three fingers .. now her wildest thoughts have come into reality .. her hand loosed from his grip .. and it looked like it was falling down .. "No no .. no!!" she screamed trying to grab a hold of his hand .. but alas .. the hand went into the deep snow .. then suddenly she felt a cold hand holding her waist and and another cold hand on her neck .. she took off from the storm and could see clouds and a mountain on top of the clouds not far away from her view .. then she raised her head and surprisingly enough Theo was the one who had carried her like a princess .. "You're okay .." she said wiping a tear from falling off her cheek .. "Well .. I kind of underestimated this storm .. I didn't expect it to be this harsh ... just wait until I get my full power .. " he said and leapt off in the air again heading for the top of the mountain ..

"Hold on tight .." she looked at him with a dumbfounded expression .. and then after a moment of waiting she felt the cold air brushing her skin violently even leaving a few marks .. she then held tight onto Theo .. putting her face right into his chest to avoid .. the snow ..

'Wow .. even though the snow storm is powerful he's able to keep up with the heat in his body .. ' she then waited to get on land again ..
