The next day, Kamiya and Koji were travelling to Muto's office to collect his squads as that force no longer was official.
They were travelling on a luxurious car given to Koji as one of the prons of becoming a captian.
"You surely know what you're doing." Kamiya sighed while she was driving.
Koji looked at her in confusion and asked,
"What do you mean?"
"You just took in two of the most powerful warriors in Japan even though we had given you the choice to choose any one."
"You both were useful so I wanted you both. Yasuhiro is a good leader and you're a good strategist. There's no way I can handle all the hunters on my own. Not after having to take the hunters from yours and Muto's squad."
"Yeah it is considerable but, creating a whole new rank. You made me your secretary and Yasuhiro became the first ever overall captian on all squads. I can't believe commander approved that."
"Commander huh?" Koji smiled as he muttered that.
"What's so funny?" Kamiya annoyingly asked.
"Oh I haven't told you right?"
"What?"
"My rank. It's the same as the commander."
Kamiya didn't responded to the statement first , processing what he just said and then suddenly shouted.
"SAME AS WHO!?"
"Kamiya the car! The Car!"
She turned her car and barely managed to save it from a hit.
"You're the same rank as commander!?"
she again asked.
"It seems like that."
She gently put her head on the steer and starts to bang it again and again.
"What are you doing?" Koji asked.
"Banging my head?" she replied looking at him with dead eyes.
"I can see that, but why are you doing that?"
"This is all just too sudden. You could easily be on the same position as his."
"I don't think I could do that right now."
"Ah whatever. It isn't like this was unexpected. You're always growing. Are you some monarch?" she asked with a tired voice.
"More of an apostle." Koji proudly replied.
"Right... For now let's go and meet your sacrifices."
*Hit*
Koji smacked on her head.
"What was that for?!" she asked while patting her head.
"Don't call them sacrifices. Or I may turn you into one."
"You're one strange captian."
Before Koji could reply to that, time stopped.
Everything, Kamiya, the car, everyone out. They all stopped.
It wasn't a permanent stop. Those with enough qualification could go through it. Though in that certain region, it was only Koji.
He pushed through the field and woke up.
"What the hell is this? Being in this state is so exhausting." Koji complains as he sweats a hell out of him.
"That's another part of your training." Goddess Isis slowly appears.
"I should've guessed that. You're not making this world my training right?"
"No, I'm here to pick you up."
"For what?"
"I haven't created that dungeon to let it stay idle."
"I'll come." he said whole poking Kamiya to check if she could break the field.
Goddess Isis was about to teleport Koji when suddenly a cracking sound come.
It came from the field covering Kamiya. It was breaking.
The small crack expanded and in just couple of seconds, she broke through the spell.
She looked on her left and right and saw Koji and the Goddess just staring her in surprise.
She stared at the unidentified creature, the Goddess and overreacted.
"Who are you?!" she screamed in shock.
"Can I kill her?" Isis asked Koji in a serious tone.
"No! Kamiya calm down. This person is my...."
He stopped midway because there was no specific title for what he was for the Goddess.
"I'm his owner." Isis interrupted and spoke up
"You're his owner? How does that makes any sense?"
"I am. He's my helper. As I am a Goddess."
"A Goddess? No way I'm believing that."
"It isn't up to you if to believe or not. But one thing is certain that you have seen something you shouldn't have."
"I guess. So that barrier was a blocker."
"Normally you would have to die but because this idiot wants to use you, I'll be taking you with me as a punishment."
"Where to?" she asked in a scared but vigilant tone.
"To the hell where he trains." Isis responded with a laugh.
Before anyone could question any further, she snapped her fingers and brought those two back to the dungeon. Infront the gate of eleventh floor.
Koji stood still all the time in confusion. He couldn't grasp on the situation as he wasn't given a chance to speak.
Kamiya kept on shouting at Koji but he was lost in his thoughts so she kicked his stomach and again yelled.
"Hey captain!"
He got up, totally annoyed by the condition, smacked her and said.
"One hell of a secretary are you!"
"So what's the deal here?" she asked while rubbing her head.
"Oh yeah you don't know about here. So it's a dungeon. We go in and fight. The weakest monster is of B rank so be careful. Also there are boss rooms are every ten floors so my objective today is to conquer the twentieth floor."
"The B rank is the weakest?" she said in a stunned and scared tone.
"Yes, and you're not running away. You'll act as my partner and a teammate." he said as he dragged Kamiya inside the dungeon before she had a a
*Back At The Hunter Association Tower*
The commander and the vice commander too easily broke the time barrier just like Koji
"It happened again sire." Hirota Kazuhiko, the vice commander said while testing the time stop.
"Yes, this is the second time. First time was on the day of the dungeon incident and now it randomly happened again." the commander said while swinging on his chair.
"Sir, do you think there is some mystery behind this time pause?"
"Of course and I think I'm close to finding the reason."
"You mean for real?!" the vice commander excitingly yelled.
The commander got up and pointed at a file by his drawer.
"Look inside those records of that hunter. You'll find the answer."
Hirota picked up those files and looked inside.
He was both stunned and scared after he read it a little.
"These incidents actually make sense. They are way too accurate."
"Yeah, during that Dungeon break that man appeared the moment time froze. And right now, his report says he was going to the tower. And he's no where to found."
Hirota checked the radar to track the hunters and it couldn't find him. Even though the radar was supposed to share international locations.
"You're right. He's not in this world. Just who is he."
"Someone who randomly appeared and matched with my rank. One of the craziest hunters. We'll have to wait for him to find about his identity." Muramoto said as he looked out of the window.
"Just who are you.."
