Diane gave me a new set of clothes after I cleaned myself. She also got a new set of clothes for herself.
She is wearing casual clothes. The clothes I got are also a pair of casual clothes, a white t-shirt and a pair of black shorts. Nothing special.
After I finished with my shower Diane told me that she is a Mixed Blood. She said that her father is a dog demi-human and mother a normal human. I was suprised when she told me that. Well it was pretty obvious that she is a Mixed Blood considering the fact that she told me that the Team Zero squad of this planet is made of Mixed Bloods. I am still not sure if I am truly a Mixed blood but I will play along because I want to see the squad.
„You finished? If you are listen up!“ I heard Diane's voice telling me something. I listened.
„Today I am taking you to the headquarters so I want you to act appropriate. You listening?“
„Yes,mom…hehe.“ I jokingly said.
„M-mom!? Y-you don't call me mom!!“ She is more upset about it than I expected. „Well,whatever,I'll tell you one thing though. You need to act serious infront of them. And one more warning,don't anger the girl who wears all white. You do that and you're doomed,okay?“
„Wears all white? Alright“ I agreed.
„A car will come take us to the headquarters but I will have you wear this over your eyes just to be sure you don't try something.“ Diane said and took out a piece of cloth and started wrapping it around my head.
„You see anything?“
„No sir!“ I answered. I am currently fully blind because of this cloth.
„Good…“ She said. „The car will come in about 2 minutes. You know about old generation cars?“
„Old generation? We talked about them in history class. I think they said that they run on electricity,right?“
„You're correct. We will drive in one of such cars.“
„An old generation type? Why? I thought that Team Zero gets even better models than those energized monster core types.“ I asked. I was pretty confused why the Team Zero on this planet doesn't use monster core type cars atleast.
„We don't use those because they are too expensive for a small squad as ours. Look the car is coming.“ Look? You forgot I am blind right? Well I can hear a car coming over so I think that it really is coming.

<< Back to 3rd person >>
A black car stopped infront of Diane's house. The glass was black and you couldn't see anything inside it. The car's windows opened and you could see a man in his twenties inside.
„Yo,shopkeeper. Long time no see. Is that the newbie?“ The man asked.
„Yeah, I will be coming with you just so you know. This guy's name is Luck,good 'luck' with him.“ Diane answered and got in the car.
'Newbie? Ah so that must be a superior or something from the squad!' The boy Luck thought.
„Diane I thought that the boss told you to be on standby in the shop.“ The man said to Diane.
„She did. I just want to talk to her about something. It concerns the safety of the city.“
„Oh…what is it?...Actually forget about it you will tell me later. I don't want the newbie telling rumors.“ The man hid his curiousity and started the car.
„Diane, what is he talking about? You were on standby?“ Luck whispered and asked Diane.
„I was put on standby because of an injury. Nothing serious though. I just can't use melee weapons anymore.“ This is considered not serious? What is serious then!?
Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.
„How can that be not serious!?“ Luck asked. His voice has risen a bit but not enough for the man to hear him.
„ Because the melee units are low in number. Who will still dare to use a sword or spear to fight the monsters when you have rifles and guns? I am responsible for my injury. Don't worry newbie.“
„I thought we were friends why are you calling me newbie?“ Luck was a bit dissapointed by Diane calling him newbie. He really thought they were friends. He atleast wanted that she calls him by his last name.
„We are I just don't want to call you by your first name infont of him.“ So that's the reason.
„What are you two mumbling there? Can I join in?“
„Nothing!!“ Both of them answered the man.
„Is that so…Well whatever. I wanted to tell you that we will be arriving in about 5 minutes.“ The man said.
„Good…“ Diane said.
„Diane…are you still angry at that Last Nova member that killed her?“ The man unexpectedly asked out of nowhere.
„No…I forgot about that event long since. And please don't mention it again…“ Diane said with a low voice.
'Last Nova? That group was involved with boss Diane? Interesting…' Luck thought about what the man and Diane thought.
With that five minutes passed quite quickly. When Luck got out of the car Diane led him towards a stairway somewhere. It seems that they were going deeper and deeper somewhere.
Luck asked: „ Why are we going down?“
„We are going underground. That's where our headquarters are.“ The man answered. It seems that he also got out of the car with them.
„You nervous Luck?“ Diane's voice could be heard.
Luck answered : „ A bit…“ Luck's emotions were all mixed up ever since he found out he will be joining Team Zero's squad.
„Well…It will be alright just stick to the advice I gave you.“ Diane's voice could be heard once again.
„Yes. Don't make the girl in white angry. Be serious.“ Luck said out loud.
„Don't make the girl in white angry? Diane what did you tell him? Hahahahha!!“ The man's voice was a bit shaky and he couldn't stop laughing when he heard what Luck said.
„I just said what I meant to say. Don't listen to him Luck he is an exception…“ An exception? Is he someone special?
Luck's thoughts were even more confused at their words. They finally stopped and Diane removed the cloth from Luck's head.What was infront of them was a … bar? Why is the headquarters of Team Zero a bar? Luck thought…
„Welcome to Squad number 102nd's headquarters“ Luck heard the man's voice. He looked at where the voice came and what he saw was a handsome almost two meters tall man. He had a bit longer ears and his hair was green in color.
„You are…?“ Luck asked. He knew that that was the driver but he still didn't know his name.
„Oh,I am sorry I didn't introduce myself. My name is Kirin Riveria. A half-elf.“
„A half-elf!? Woow!!“ Luck was suprised hearing that his superior is a half-elf. Half-elf are really rare aswell on Ivara. Because the elf race only inhabits planets that doesn't use heavy technology.
„What is that really that suprising?“ Kirin said.
„Yeah yeah it is!“
„Of course it is dumbass.“
Luck and Diane said at the same time.
„Oh my you two can you shut up for a moment. Let's go in the boss is waiting for the newbie.“
