<< Luck's POV >>
So this is the Team Zero headquarters! It looks...pretty dissapointing. It is the same as a normal bar,why does it look like that? I thought that they have a military base or something exciting like that. Who would've thought that the base is only a mere bar.
I went into with Kirin and Diane a few moments ago. What I saw was a group of people scattered around the bar. There were males,females and even animal looking people there. So this is what they meant by gathering Mixed Bloods...
I feel a bit uneasy because of this. I don't have any military knowledge or experience in battles. I hope they won't put me into battle on my first mission. I heard Diane telling me something but I didn't properly listen so I didn't really get what she wanted to say. I also felt a bit heavy ever since I came in. I looked at my legs and saw something that suprised me. There were chains around my legs. What the hell?!
"Why are there chains around around my legs Mr. Kirin,Diane!?" I asked those two hurriedly. I was totally suprised when I saw the chains.
"I told you didn't I? You accidentaly stepped onto a member's trap...Well,it's not really a trap more like a prank,I wonder if he did this?" Diane answered me. So she was telling me about that. Sorry Diane I was still suprised by what I could see infront of me I couldn't really listen.
"Ah...sorry..." I apologized. I scratched my head and started getting rid of the chains. They were pretty heavy though. I wonder if someone uses these for weapons.
Now that I look at the other people around here I noticed they don't really care about us. They just deal with their own business it seems. I wonder which one of them is the boss.
"Hey! I told you to listen to me and you are again not paying attention!!" I heard Diane's voice once again. She sounds angry,I better listen to her this time.
"Yes,yes I am listening now." I replied and started listening,this time truly.
"Good. I will go find the boss you sit over there. You can order anything you want. It's all free!" Diane is enthusiastic about drinking as yesterday it seems. Or is she always like this? I wonder...
I went towards the place Diane told me. As soon as I sat down a person came up to me and asked me :
"Are you the newbie Kirin told us about? I thought you would be a bit more good looking. Atleast half of the beauty Kirin has!"
What's with this girl? How can anyone have such beauty like that half-elf. He has elf blood for godsake! Well,atleast I know why no one was suprised when they saw me. It seems that Kirin told them about me.
But anyway,what's with this girl? Her looks are a bit above average and she looks like a normal human. Which part of her is that of a Mixed Blood? Maybe she is someone like me that has only one little part of her body changed. Well,I can't be sure I am a Mixed blood yet though. When I was a kid they already did a test on me and it turned out I was not a Mixed Blood.
As I thought about that the girl suddenly asked me a load of questions that I couldn't answer all at the same time.
"Hey,hey newbie! What's your name? How old are you? From where are you? What kind of mixed blood are you?..." And much more. She is quite curious. She seems to be the same age I am though. But she was here before me does that mean she joined Team Zero even before me? How long was she in the team? It can't be more than 1 year,right?
"Wait,wait,wait!! I can't answer those questions right now. Maybe later?"
"Oh...Alright then." She answered. "So,what are you going to have?" What the hell!? She is a waitress? Tell me that first. Atleast I know that she isn't an active team member. Did she do that just to make fun of me.
"You are a waitress? Tell me that before. I thought you were my superior or something like that for a second!" I exclaimed. I hate people like her.
"So,what will you have?" She ignored me didn't she?
"I will have a glass of water. That's all."
"Only a glass of water?" She looked at me weirdly. Just bring me the glass of water now!
"You got a problem?"
"No,not at all. Just one more question. What's your name?" Name? Alright I will tell her...
"Luck Yanami,that's my name." I said with a carefree voice. Well,there was some hostility in the voice too but I hid it well.
"Luck..huh...You really have a weird name. I heard you are an orphan so you really don't have good luck. I wonder why your name is Luck then?" She is irritating me. Not even I know why my name is like that. The caretakers at the orphanage told me that they found me with a name tag. Like I am some kind of pet. I hope the ones who left me like that aren't my parents but some bad guys. I hope...
"Like I know. Will you bring me the water now?" I ignored her question and told her to bring me the glass of water already.

<< Back to 3rd person >>
As Luck was talking to the waitress girl,Diane and Kirin met their so called boss.
"You brought him,Kirin?" The boss asked Kirin.
"Yes boss. I wonder why we took him in though." Kirin was all polite with the boss person. He even kneeled.
Right now they are in a secret room in which their boss always is. Only a few people know of this room.Some of those people are Diane and Kirin.
Their boss is a thirty year old man. He was not really handsome but it can't be said that he is ugly either. He was somewhere in the middle. He was almost two meters tall and his race is a normal human like Luck...
He has black hair and black colored eyes that emitted a sharp radiance. Those eyes were ones that went through a lot of battles and life and death situations. The boss also had a small scar on the left side of his face. For some reason he doesn't want to heal it. Even with all of today's technology and medicine he doesn't want to heal it.
"Why we took him in? Well,you can say that it's a favor for an old friend. I can't say more though." The boss continued.
"An old friend!? Is Luck a descendant of that old friend or something? I can't fully believe you if you say he is. Luck is an orphan if memory serves me right. Right?" Diane said. She is suprised that Luck has some kind of connection to their boss. Does that mean that he will serve under their boss directly?
In the squad there are three factions and the boss's main group of people.
The names of the factions are : White Snow Squad, Galaxy and the Elven Division.
The White Snow squad is an support squad that is lead by the so said girl dressed in white. Almost no one knows her name except her personal bodyguards and a few special people. Like the boss and Kirin.
Galaxy is the defense squad whose main priority is to defend the towns and the people of Ivara. Their leader is a twenty something year old man named Finn. He is a mixed blood whose strength is acknowleged even by the boss. He is a half-breed between a bear demi-human and a racoon beastman.
There is a big difference in the demi-humans and beastmen. The demi-humans look alot like humans it's just that some features are changed. While beastmen are more on the side of beasts, their bodies look humaniod but they are undoubtedly beasts. There are some that have a common sense or intelligence but they are pretty rare.
Finn's parents were like that. His mother was a demi-human that fell in love with a beastman. That is considered a taboo in their family though. So is Finn aswell.
The last squad is lead by Kirin. He is the leader of one of the two offensive factions of the team. The other one being the Boss's of course. His squad is considered the strongest,but in reality it's weaker than the other offensive faction.
Kirin is a bad leader so he usually lets his vice-leader to lead the troops when a mission is going on. The vice leader is Kirin's little brother. He looks a bit like a girl but you can tell he is a boy by his voice. It's a bit manly...Pretty disturbing though with his looks. The little brother's name is Kin.
"What is it Diane? You scared about Luck's safety? Or is it something else?" The boss replied.
"I am concerned he is only fifteen years old,right? What are you going to do about his school? I only agreed to this because you ordered me to!" Diane said. She currently had a concerned face. Even though she thought she hid it well...
"Well, I thought you would be concerned. What about this...you will be his foster parent from now on. He won't go on missions until you train him. I give you 2 years time to do so. Also use this and find out if he truly is a Mixed Blood. Tell him I will meet 01him in 2 years." The boss said. He put Diane as Luck's foster parent and told Diane to train him. This came in a bit too fast for her.
"Huh?...Wait what!?" Diane had to take some time to comprehend what's happening right now. She is going to be Luck's foster parent? Isn't he only a few years younger than her?
"Wait,wait,wait....I can't do that! Where will he stay?" Diane hurriedly said.
"At your place where else?" The boss said.
...
.....
Diane had a blank look on her face for some time...
"No can do! I have no place for him in my house. Only if you are willing to provide me a new apartment!"
"Alright."
"What do you---- Wait you agreed?" Diane looked suprised. She thought that he will refuse.
"Yes. I know your place is too small for him to stay with you. Also...Your parents...So I will send you two to a new apartment somewhere in the city,alright?"
"Y-yes!!" Diane agreed with that...
