The manager hurried through the Radiant Training Center, his mind racing with thoughts of the destruction he had just witnessed. The facility was buzzing with activity, but he had no time to focus on anything but the urgent situation at hand.
He quickly picked up the phone, dialing his boss's number. "I need to inform him about the situation," he thought, anxiety creeping into his mind.
As the phone rang, the manager's heart raced. Finally, he heard a voice on the other end.
"Hello?" came the calm but commanding voice of the manager of the Radiant Training Center, who was located in a high-rise office overlooking the bustling city.
"We have a serious situation," the manager began, trying to keep his voice steady.
"One of our training rooms has been completely destroyed. The damage is beyond anything we've seen before."
"What do you mean destroyed? How could this happen?" his boss asked, concern etched in his voice.
"You need to find this individual immediately. We cannot allow this to escalate further."
The manager nodded, even though his boss couldn't see him. "I understand. I'll track him down right away."
With that, the call ended abruptly, leaving the manager with a lingering sense of urgency.
Meanwhile, in the high-rise office, the manager's boss remained poised, his silhouette framed by the expansive windows that offered a stunning view of the city below.
He had slick white hair that contrasted sharply with his tan-colored skin. His piercing red eyes seemed to hold a depth of knowledge and authority, capable of intimidating anyone who met his gaze. The sharp and strong features of his face hinted at years of experience in both leadership and combat.
The atmosphere in his office was charged, as he contemplated the repercussions of the destruction.
Just as the boss was deep in thought, the door to his office swung open.
A familiar face stepped inside—a woman with white hair, red eyes, and a toned physique. It was Lyra Vespera, the daughter of the boss.
"Father, please tell Aunt I want to join his mercenary group!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement and determination. Her eyes sparkled with ambition, reflecting her desire for adventure and strength.
The boss looked at his daughter, a mixture of pride and concern in his expression.After a moment of consideration, he sighed and nodded. "Fine, Lyra. If it will put an end to your constant nagging, I'll tell him to accept you."
As events unfolded at the training center, our main character finally arrived at the spaceship transport terminal.
After navigating through the bustling terminal, he stepped out, taking a deep breath of fresh air. He felt a sense of relief wash over him as he prepared to head back to his apartment.
Once home, he settled into his routine.
Knowing that his sister was still at school, he decided to cook his own meal, enjoying the process of preparing his favorite dish. The comforting aroma filled the small apartment, making it feel warm and inviting.
While waiting for his sister to return, he browsed through his IIS watch, searching for information about Passion City, the capital of Neon Haven country.
He was eager to learn more about the vibrant city he'd be visiting tomorrow.
Hours later, his sister finally returned from school, her face lighting up as she entered the apartment.
"Hey, I have something to tell you," he said, trying to sound casual. "I'm going to Passion City tomorrow, and I'll need you to take care of things here."
He explained that he would give her 10,000 UC for her daily expenses until he returned, ensuring she felt secure while he was away.
"Just make sure to use it wisely," he added with a smile.
She looked excited at the prospect of him going on an adventure and promised to keep everything in order while he was gone.
The next morning, our main character awoke early, filled with anticipation for his journey.
After quickly getting ready, he checked his finances and confirmed he had 45,000 UC.With a sense of purpose, he set out for the main spaceship terminal
Upon arriving at the terminal, he felt the vibrant energy of travelers all around him.
He paid 5,000 UC for a ticket, ready to embark on his adventure. To his surprise, instead of a small spaceship typically used for city-wide transport, he was directed to a massive ship meant for city-to-city travel.
This spaceship was enormous, capable of holding thousands of passengers. It had various onboard amenities, including shops and dining areas, making it feel more like a floating city than a mere transport vessel.
As he found his seat and settled in, he watched as more passengers boarded the ship.
After a few minutes of waiting, the ship began to depart, ascending gracefully into the sky. The excitement around him was palpable as they soared higher and higher.
He knew the journey would take at least an hour, as Passion City was over 10,000 kilometers away from Neo Requiem City. He leaned back in his seat, gazing out the window at the vast expanse of the sky, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness about what awaited him in the capital.
As the spaceship ascended, the atmosphere inside began to shift. Passengers stirred with excitement and curiosity.
Many began to stand up, eager to explore the ship and check out its various stores and amenities. The bustling energy was infectious, and our main character decided to join them.
For the next 30 minutes, he wandered through the ship, taking in all the sights.
He marveled at the onboard shops, which offered everything from snacks to souvenirs. There were lounges where passengers could relax, and even a small arcade area filled with flashing lights and sounds.
After soaking in the atmosphere, he returned to his seat, feeling content but also eager for what lay ahead.
As the journey continued, he could feel the excitement building inside him.
Five minutes before arrival, he stood up once more and looked out the window.
His heart raced as he caught his first glimpse of Passion City.
As the ship descended, he was awestruck by the sight before him.
The city sprawled out beneath him, a vibrant tapestry of buildings and activity. Skyscrapers towered almost touching the clouds, glimmering in the sunlight.
He could see flying cars zipping through the air, motorcycles soaring beside them, and spaceships gliding gracefully to and from their destinations.
