After Vivienne and Hunter saw the junior agents, they quickly left using smoke and vanished instantly.
Back at the academy, the junior agents were still listening to their trainer. Long story short, the trainer finished his speech and left, saying it was time to go home and not to forget to study about the agents' powers.
On their way home, Sakura spoke, "Aiko, Miyu, Renka, Natsumi, once we arrive at the agents' place, let's practice right away."
The four of them replied, "Alright, we all agree."
On the other hand In a remote part of the village, there was an area that appeared severely damaged, as if it had been through a war, with all the houses and everything else destroyed. The people there struggled to find food and drink, living on scraps. This was all caused by two evil slimes. Initially, this village was very advanced, like the one where the agents resided, but everything changed after the arrival of these two slimes. The first was their leader, Luxtheron, and the second was his subordinate, Noxifer. At first, Luxtheron sent Noxifer to the village, and Noxifer began creating a small slime army, where each slime could cause explosions that destroyed small settlements.
People ran in fear because of the explosions caused by Noxifer. Once the villagers were powerless, Noxifer started heading toward the forest with the intent to destroy it as well.
However, as he entered the forest, he encountered an abstract figure (the one Saber fought in Chapter 2). It turned out that this monster resided in the forest. They began a battle, with the monster emitting a toxic odor, but Noxifer managed to absorb it. Using his unique slime ability, body formation, he transformed his body and shape as he wished, creating a cannon in his hand and firing bombs at the monster, causing it to be knocked back in fear of being unable to defeat someone like Noxifer. Noxifer fled toward the agents' village and intentionally entered the broken mission system.
After everything was done, Noxifer was ordered by his master to return to the base.
Luxtheron said, "Come back, Noxifer; your task is complete."
Noxifer replied, "Understood, master."
The village was now completely ruined, with slimes continually exploding themselves and causing many casualties. However, in the midst of this chaos, there was a woman named Evelyn, a katana wielder aged 20, dressed in a kimono. She always protected the villagers from the deadly slimes.
One quiet moment, a little girl was playing alone when suddenly a large slime formed a projectile traveling at a speed of one thousand kilometers per millisecond. The projectile was shot toward the child, but before it could reach her, Evelyn dashed toward it and shattered the projectile along with the monster, turning it to ash.
Evelyn then asked the girl, "Are you alright? You must be scared."
The girl replied, "Thank you for saving me."
Evelyn answered, "You're welcome. It's my duty to protect the threatened citizens here."
Evelyn took the girl to a shelter where she would be safe, as there were guards present. Unbeknownst to them, the two detective partners were watching from a distance. Vivienne asked, "Are those slimes strong?" Hunter replied, "It doesn't seem so; they look very weak." Vivienne responded, "Good. We need to keep researching them and capture their power, not to mention the monster that has reached its perfect form."
Vivienne and Hunter quickly left again using their smoke and encountered the monster that had achieved its perfect form. The monster asked, "Who are you? You look ordinary; you'd better go home before I kill you." The monster was very sharp and immediately lunged at Vivienne, but she remained calm and softly called Hunter's name.
Suddenly, Hunter appeared and sliced off the monster's hand with a short iron sword, causing the monster's hand to sever. However, the monster could regenerate if its hand was cut off. Hunter then unleashed electricity from his hand, pummeling the monster and rendering it helpless. The monster said, "It's better for me to retreat than to die at the hands of this person." The monster quickly created a portal and escaped.
Hunter and Vivienne watched as the monster fled, and Vivienne said, "Next time we will capture it." Hunter replied, "Yeah."
