The clock hits 3 am.
The hybrid military took action soon after the bombing incidents took place almost in front of every hybrid school and other hybrid-related corporations. The terrorists were targeting hybrids and they were in charge of immobilising the force before they could take any action.
But Elite H. is a place where they train hybrids to be the perfect soldiers. So, they were all assembled at the academy right after the emergency situation was announced.
The academy became filled with young hybrids in just 10 minutes.
Viktor reached the premises and saw Rae and Welis talking with Ijin and Baek. They were trying to reach some others but they felt relieved when they saw Viktor with his shiny H.drive.
"You're here already. I'm really surprised that the terrorists are taking action this soon. The world is going to know about our identity really soon."
Rae showed a video to Viktor and then said, "What do you mean by soon? It's already on the internet hours ago. Some parts of China are already destroyed because of the sudden commission. But it's all under control because they were kinda weak. The hybrid reported that they were like empty cans when they fought. Do you know something about this?"
"Ah, I wonder .." Viktor's grin made Rae think about something bad but the professors started to make an announcement from the broadcasting room.
The academy became silent to hear the announcement clearly. They were all instructed to form a team from different classes.
Since there were two classes, 'Warrior and Mage', they were all assigned to make a team which had both of them. A team of 5 was made by the teachers from each class and Viktor, who had the highest score, ended up with Welis and 3 strangers from the magic department.
He was the team leader of the team called J-12 and was assigned to central Seoul where the most dangerous terrorists were causing commissions.
Since he was just a 1st-year newbie, the seniors weren't happy with his position and complained to the professors. But his strength and family wasn't something to play with so they were forced to shut their mouth and sent outside Seoul.
'This is burdensome.'
Viktor went inside the weaponry section to pick up his battle H.drive made for real-life battles and changed into his battle suit.
The black tight tank top with the golden academy crest on the left chest, white pants and a black long academy jacket were making him stand out too much even though it was the same outfit for everyone.
The mages were also changed into their battle suits and they quickly made a small introduction. Viktor introduced himself to the other 3 members of his team and said, "Try to avoid the attacks from the terrorist. We don't need any support from the mages. Just save yourself and target their chest and lower abdomen."
A girl from the group asked, "How can you be so sure? Did you spar with them?"
"I did, about 40 minutes ago. Now let's head outside. All the teams are already moving to their destination. We need to move quickly or the predecessor will smack our ass."
The five of them quickly ran outside the room and saw the teachers giving the students hand pistols. It was mana hand pistols so they were all warned to use it when their life was in danger. They were super expensive.
Viktor and his team took the other necessary items and went outside to hop in the jeep. At that moment, Viktor's phone rang.
"Um…hey Adonis, did you get a good sleep?" Viktor was sweating because he didn't tell anything to him so he thought he must be furious.
*What in the heaven is going on outside?*
Viktor held his breath because of anxiety. Adonis again asked, *Don't tell me you pitied me because I didn't sleep for 3 days and decided not to wake me up because of this?*
"Um, I can explain."
*I'm releasing all the O.R clones right now.*
"Wait, aren't they the one-rule followers? They are going to cause chaos if they misunderstand something."
*Master, they are upgraded and they won't cause a disturbance. Don't worry. They will follow you and protect you from all the dangers. And they will also be working with you. I'm heading out right now. Don't even think about going wild or leaving everything behind to sleep.*
'How the hell did he know-_-?'
"Hah.. do as you wish. Make sure they don't cause too much commission. Warn the SKBG( South Korean border guards) to block any suspicious passengers. We will meet tomorrow morning."
*Yes, master. Be careful. And have fun.*
"You too."
The driver of the jeep told everyone to get out and search for the terrorists who were kidnapping normal people and making a good use of them. The streets were already a mess.
Viktor got off the jeep and the first thing he saw was a reporter bravely recording a terrorist throwing fire spells at the normal citizens. They weren't powerful but to normal people, they were very dangerous.
Viktor quickly ran towards the group of citizens and cut off their heads with his scythe. "Oi, did you already forget the formation we were talking about a few minutes ago? Welis, don't cut the people, they are already dead."
The cameraman focused his camera on Viktor's face and his heart began to beat faster. He quickly zoomed in on his face and started to record everything he was doing. Of course, he was scared because of the sudden commission happening around him but his dashing look cured everything. He was taken aback by his handsomeness.
He was left speechless.
Viktor then looked at the man and waved before the second he went vanished. He was busy immobilising the other terrorists who were messing around with the normal citizens.
The zone he was assigned to, became peaceful in just 10 minutes.
Bizz….
< J-12. J-12. Please report back. I repeat, report back.>
Viktor took the radio closer to his mouth and said, "This is J-12 Leader, Viktor E. North. J point has been cleared. All the members are safe, ready to take orders."
"14 targets have been annihilated. Zone J is cleared for the time being."
Viktor put the radio back in his jacket and said, "I can't believe I need to guard roads now." He looked at his team's mages and saw they were all busy putting out the fire. The most interesting thing was there was a healer in his team and he was treating the non-hybrids. They were all shocked to see a man using healing magic but since it worked, all the injured people came to treat their wounds.
A healer can't heal a gravely injured hybrid quickly. But if the patient is a human, a small amount of magic is enough to cure a deep wound. So, Min Ah, the healer was ordered to heal the wounded people to stop the unwanted haters and rumours about hybrids.
The world will know the truth very soon since the government has already declared their existence.
The place where Viktor and his team were guarding quickly became crowded. So they had to move to the top of buildings to avoid people.
But reporters are something that can't ever be pushed back. As soon as the sun came out, the news spread like wildfire. The people were all excited to know about the existence of magic. Of course, the anti Hybrid group soon raised because their loved ones were killed by the terrorist and the hybrids couldn't save them in time.
People started to gather in front of the minister's house for an explanation but since he was also a hybrid, he just jumped from building to building to reach his office.
Viktor, who moved to a building to avoid people, was scrolling through his social media account. He already had an account with his picture in it. Since the curious cameraman took a small footage of him, he knew his account was going to burst into followers because of his beauty.
'Hah… Elesis will know where I live now. Man… this is happening too soon. I wanted to live quietly for 40-50 years here. Tsk…'
He finished the fresh bun that he bought from the store last night and threw the wrapper from the building edge. At that movement, a helicopter popped out of nowhere with a cameraman on. A goddamned reporter was reporting live on some channel.
"What the hell-_-?"
Min Ah, the team healer came closer to him and said, "The director said it's best to avoid the reporters before the national meeting. Let's leave this place. People are coming upstairs."
Viktor stood and then said, "Team J-12, split up and meet in the downtown cafe at 12. Avoid people and cameras. Don't engage with any people outside the academy and the disciplinary committee. Immediately report if you're in danger."
The four of them agreed and began to run towards different directions. Viktor, who was finished talking, looked back at the cameraman and waved back a second before he vanished. He used his teleportation magic to take shelter in an apartment that he bought a month ago. It was the 22nd floor so he was getting a good view of the neighbour.
At that moment, Adonis used telepathy to communicate. ``Master, you're slacking off.``
"I'm here to lie down for a bit. I also skipped 3 days of sleep. Didn't I?"
``The O.R clones are on their way to your apartment. It will be helpful if you open the windows. The other members are spreading around the country. Some of them also reached the USA to find out its origin. Master, Ifrit is also on his way there.``
"Isn't it obvious? Someone dumb broke the rule of nature. Devils were never supposed to walk around the human realm. And he's the king of the underworld. It's his duty to separate the heads of those who don't follow the rules."
Viktor shovelled a huge cream bun in his mouth and opened the window of his apartment. A shower quickly went in and knelt in front of him.
"We're here to guard our lord. Please give us orders."
Viktor looked back and saw a group of ladies in white dresses from their neck to toe. Their short brown hair and unique eye colours nearly made them look like wood elf kind but the expression on their faces was of a dead person.
It was the only thing that carried the fact that they were clones, not actual people.
Viktor then said, "What is your serial number?"
The leader of the small clones team said, "My lord, I'm Aroko, serial number 001-A of the golden knight unit. The others have the same name with serial number 2,3 and 4. We are all assigned to guard our lord until sir Adonis dismisses us."
"Well then, turn on the tv. And make me a good breakfast. There are ingredients in the refrigerator." He sat on his couch and again said, "Close the windows. It's too noisy outside."
The knights were all left speechless to hear his request.
