Scouting Squad
Coming out of the mountain rock with a hazardous face full of falling unconscious the next moment, Ciemnosc was looked on intently by Valeria, who was now putting her helmet on, Ciemnosc was a bit haggard too, and he was constantly accommodating the end of his uniform's sleeves as if he couldn't bear not to do it for a couple more times each second.
Step, step, step.
“Where were you? I’ve been waiting for 20 minutes!” Valeria ‘raged’ out at Ciemnosc, who looked up at her and watched her nice, developed but small body for a few seconds before shrugging his shoulder while smacking his lips silently and hugging her directly. His tired body reflected on hers as she felt the lower bottom of his totally dormant, while his grip was as strong as always.
“Okay, just hold on. I’ll hurry up so that you can be there on time.” Seeing how only 30 minutes were left, Valeria was confident in arriving there 10 minutes before. But she and everybody knew that arriving even 2 hours before departing for a mission was ‘bad’ conduct.
Trckrr. Vrooorororrrooorroooooumm…
“Did you learn anything?” As they zoomed in the distance and left the mountain rock behind in less than 10 seconds, Ciemnosc was asked by Valeria, who looked back at him, her driving not becoming disorderly or her becoming panicky. Ciemnosc looked at her with tired, lazy eyes and said while feeling all too comfortable. “Mhm, a little bit. I can do a few things now, I think.”
“...Like what?” After some tens of seconds. Valeria said while enjoying her driving time just fine and well enough. Ciemnosc made ups and downs massage at her tummy before saying, “I can now shackle you, tie you up, and force you to tell me all your secrets in my arrays of array combinations; of course, it’d be much better if you had an indomitable will and never told me. Unless you start thrashing around… hehehhh~.”
“...” Valeria was focused on driving, driving was good, and it felt nice to be so fast. But Ciemnosc didn’t let go of it. This time, he was soooo comfortable that he wouldn’t even care if he saw beauties throwing themselves at him.
“Did you know that arrays grow powerful depending on one’s cultivation? When I was doing my first test ever, I learned how to mix all 3, the Inferior Powerful Stone’s Power Energy, my Power Energy, and my Spirit Sense…it felt so good. Did you know that arrays can be placed anywhere? And that they could be soooo resistant when they are finished, but can be furthermore enhanced?!”
Valeria, in return, answered truthfully to all of his questions, even if her way of doing so wasn’t cute or beautiful. “Yep…Yup… Yep, yep… Yup… Yep…”
“...Did you know that,” Ciemnosc, seeing how Valeria was all too mighty, narrowed his eyes as he bit the bullet for Valeria’s sake. “...when a woman lets another man touch her with his pee pee on any occasion, even in public, that means she is all usable for him?”
“...” Slowly, Valeria turned her head around, meeting Ciemnosc’s darkest eyes and crafty, little shitty smile. Slowly, her left hand was raised to meet Ciemnosc’s face- nope, his collar and she pulled hard at him, forcing his body harder against her and their helmets clashing with each other. “Ciemnosc, do you want me to stop and beat you the hell up?!?”
“Err, ahem. You are just shy~, woaowawawouuu- okay okay, Ciemnosc was bad, Ciemnosc knows.” After being pinched at his arms here and there and faking pain, Ciemnosc began rubbing Valeria’s back apologetically as he leaned his tired little head against her. Though she didn’t really need such a massage since she had small breasts, so she still felt incredibly good from his fresh, cool hands.
… Soon, Valeria and Ciemnosc arrived before the Missions Hall in just 17 minutes, their bodies a bit sore from pressing against each other and sometimes rubbing up and down from time to time as they stretched before making their way into the Missions Hall.
Step step step step.
Walking together, Ciemnosc became everyone’s favorite to murder candidate, especially when seeing the tight outfit that Valeria came into the Missions Hall with and how her famous motorcycle across the whole Region, let alone the sect, required her to push her sexy ass cheeks all the way to the back… Even if Ciemnosc sat in front, to be hugged from behind was just as good!
As they went on, they arrived before the desk, where the female clerk attended them overly nicely with the addition of someone as renowned, important, and with a powerful background such as hers. As for Ciemnosc, he could die in his mission, and not even those who knew of his talents in the sect would care about ‘having lost’ someone without a high cultivation base.
Afterwards, a servant came to them and guided the two of them towards where Ciemnosc’s little meeting with his fellow disciples would be waiting for him for over 2-3 hours at the very least. While going there, Ciemnosc kept grabbing at Valeria’s arms, trying not to fall asleep by stimulating his mind with the use of a beauty’s body.
She didn’t mind and, with her heart being a bit heavy on this stupid boy’s first mission possibly going awry, she and Ciemnosc made it into the room that the servant had guided them to for about a minute long of fast walking.
Creak~.
Opening the door to the room, Ciemnosc saw a bunch of slightly old and young people wearing the outer sect disciple’s uniform. Some were seated, some standing, some flirting heavily, and some chatting actively with one another. As the boy entered, his age, appearance, cultivation level, and companion attracted every pair of eyes…for a long moment before they went back to their own shit.
With some occasional comment here and there that provoked Valeria’s face to twitch with displeasure, making some shy away directly from those people. Valeria took Ciemnosc to a free, spacious corner of the room and was about to nag him like a mother when a handsome, tall young man got in between them and quickly said. “Miss, I was just going to take this corner, mind sharing? Come on. I’ll make space for the both of us.”
Fwuosh~! PAM!
A young man’s body was pushed by Valeria’s left hand gently, a young man’s body became embedded in the wall to their left as Ciemnosc was brought over to the corner, and with his back against the wall, Valeria as well, they proceeded to wait while Ciemnosc got nagged on nonstop.
…Creak, step step…step step, step.
After another 5 minutes later, the same door opened, and from it came a short, thin teenager to the right behind a man in his 30’s or so that looked commendable and reliable, with a clean chin, short black hair, and a bulky but not overly so figure. Wearing an open shirt uniform with a white shirt below his jacket.
Looking around, the man ended up looking at Valeria before nodding respectfully and somewhat shakily. He then proceeded to walk into the middle of the room and faced everyone else around him. He spoke with a loud voice, not needing his cultivation base to be heard at all, and he was ‘okay’ at demanding attention and showing leadership. “Hello everyone. I am your leader for this mission, Oro. Today, we depart for the south in the scouting mission where a lot of believers from the Moribund Yearning Cult have begun showing at our borders for some reason.”
“As we are about to leave, I hope everyone has their Covert Space bags ready. Though you’ll still be able to buy things on the way there and even then, afterwards. You won’t be slowing down this squad just for that matter alone, let there be no more doubts, so, is there any question?” Oro said as he had his arms widespread to the sides of his shoulders, looking patiently at everyone around.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
The horny guy who had fallen to the floor after being embedded in the wall exclaimed loudly, also pointing at Valeria and Ciemnosc at their corner, “Leader! Of these two, one is a little kid. How can he be here? The other one didn’t even salute me back ‘properly’!”
“...Things that are important, anyone?” Oro, the leader of the squad, said as he only glanced at the horny guy but immediately changed to looking around with his eyes in a fixed spot as if he never even looked in the direction of the horny guy.
A young woman with orange, curly hair, and a petite frame, along with freckles on her cheeks, black eyes, and a smallish body with an appearance of humbleness and wildness at the same time stood up from a high point on top of a metallic box in the room and asked. “Squad leader, what will our code names be?”
“...” The ignored horny guy looked at this young woman, his annoyance and hatred seemingly having all passed over towards this brand new prey. The ‘prey’ in question then looked back at the horny guy, down and up once before smirking from the left corner of her lip with a little lick at that corner from her own tip of her tongue.
“Very well, this was to be addressed on the way there, but might as well,” Oro said, leaning his back on a wooden box almost the size of the teenager beside him holding a clipboard and that just now finished noting down several things, passing a paper over up to Oro.
“While my code name is Hidden Cap…I know, I know.” Oro, aka Hidden Cap from now on, said while picking up the name list from his subordinate. His short term for ‘captain’ is taken well by the easygoing atmosphere within the squad before reading the list aloud directly. “Now, for the rest of you…Hidden #1, Ciemnosc…no last name, huh?”
He looked up and saw Ciemnosc ‘flirting’ with the hands of Valeria, such a monster, and only let his gaze go back down once Ciemnosc looked back and nodded in understanding and acknowledgment.
“Hidden 2, Paso…” The next one to be named was none other than the one who finished the list himself, the short, thin teenager beside Hidden Cap, and the next was the designation of code names to the rest of the people around. There were a total of 19 ‘Hiddens’, with the exception of the Hidden Cap that is the squad leader himself.
These events occurred in less than 2 minutes, giving me more than enough time remaining before needing to report to the Missions Hall in a while. By the end of designating the code names, Hidden Cap crushed the paper before directly using a tool to burn it down. “Now, I want to see everyone outside and wait for the acting elder to send us off towards our mission in less than 3 minutes. Thank you.”
Hidden Cap then left with Hidden 2, closing the door when coming out and letting everyone else decide when to come out. Pretty neat to be fair. Ciemnosc and Valeria were, however, the last ones in the room after just 10 seconds whereas everyone else left, the orange curly haired petite slight beauty being groped ostentatiously by the horny guy with his left hand trying to penetrate her through her own clothes at her crack between her nice buttcheeks.
“Ciemnosc, be very careful no matter what understood?” Valeria said, grabbing the sides of his head and planting a kiss on his forehead before hugging him tightly for a little bit of time. She then held his left cheek with her right hand and looked down at him softly and for a longer bit of time before taking her leave through another door.
“...” Ciemnosc looked at the door she took to leave for a few moments, gazed around the room for about a minute or so before finally also taking his leave and going through the door, not forgetting the horny guy’s look back at him and at Valeria when he was leaving with an asshole being played by his left hand.
“Hmpfhf,” Ciemnosc twisted his neck left and right while walking down the hallway again, his back and nape scratched by his right hand while his feet’s toes began squirming crazily around, a smirk appearing on his handsome face to a devilish level with such a charm.
Step, step step step, step step, step.
Turning around the corner, Ciemnosc saw all of the squad’s Hiddens already lined up with a vacant spot between Hidden Cap and the other Hiddens as the former was at the front in the middle with Hidden 2 at his left behind him and the other vacant spot was to his right behind him. Ciemnosc unceremoniously walked ahead and positioned himself behind Hidden Cap’s right.
There were. From the 19 Hiddens, 17 of them at the 9th stage of the Spiritual Condensation Realm, while the orange curly haired young woman, a slight beauty, was at the 8th stage. Only the squad leader was at the 10th stage of the Spiritual Condensation Realm and with his cultivation base seemingly ready to rock into breaking through any time soon.
Only Ciemnosc was the weakest in his cultivation base, being at the 4th stage of the Spiritual Condensation Realm among them.
Hidden 2 gave him a glare, but Ciemnosc really couldn’t care what this couple had to hide and play as secret lovers for. Some Hidden behind Ciemnosc looked at himself also. He gave them even less heed while his Spirit Sense picked up Spirit senses of a wall right behind them, from which he began hearing footsteps that had halted right behind them moving to their right and coming out of a pair of huge doors.
“Attention!” Hidden Cap shouted, immediately. Every other Hidden stuck their chests out and looked at where the doors that just opened were, witnessing an acting elder with another elder come along towards them.
Step step…
“Is he the one?” The tagging along-elder looked at Ciemnosc as he lightly spoke to the acting elder in charge of sending off this squad to their mission. The acting leader nodded several times with utter subservience, saying in a hushed tone that was ever so clearly audible for everyone else, “Yes, yes, yes Elder Hue, heh heh. This is the special boy.”
Looking back at them Ciemnosc wasn’t sure how to react in this situation. But right then and as if having made a horrible error, the acting elder himself looked at Ciemnosc more clearly, and with his eyes becoming larger and wider as they also became more and more angered and raging.
“You! Who are you?! How could a stupid tiny punk like you get into this mission? Who came with you?! Did you think you could do a thing in my Missions Hall because of having someone backing you? Stupid little kid!!”
The acting elder really became just different when noticing Ciemnosc’s cultivation base of the Spiritual Condensation Realm 4th stage, a thing which made the squad leader Hidden Cap have a strange, eyebrows furrowed and confused face which only the elder at the side noticed.
Meanwhile, the acting elder was going at it while the horny guy from before who was making the orange curly haired girl’s skin blush all around right now attempted joining the ‘fun’, “How can you be here? Do you even know where you are standing, and in front of me?! Get the hell out!!” - “Hahhakh- that’s what you get for imp-” - “Ahem, acting elder Solovino, let me take it from here…”
“Sir Ciemnosc,” the elder who just now interjected and made the acting elder instantly calm down said, directly making everyone’s eyes turn a bit larger. While the horny guy became even more larger and the acting elders as well, but also gaining uncertain and fearful glints crossing through them. As for the orange curly haired girl, even her mouth was wide open as she drowned a moan or two with her eyes rolling to the back of her head.
“The Sect Master has asked me to tell you that he and a few certain other individuals are awaiting for your triumphant return and that they hope you won’t be missing out on surprising them with great news, if possible.” The elder said, checking all of Ciemnosc’s face and looking for every single twitch and change on it, finding nothing in the end results.
“Ohh, aah~, many thanks, elder. I will not disappoint the Sect Master and the other’s hopes for me, take care as well, elder.” Ciemnosc said, his head raising a little to look at the elder while every other person in the room looked at him instead. At the same time, the elder himself was thinking with a forced, almost ugly smile on his face, ‘Hopes, what hopes. You either succeed with grandiosity or you’re done!’.
“Yes, yes indeed.” Said the elder from his mouth though, afterwards, he looked at everyone else in the squad and nodded slowly in the general directions towards them. “In this mission, do secure the following areas that seem to be taken over by the recent ‘exploration’ operations of our enemy - and possibly enemies.”
“As for the dissatisfaction of sir Ciemnosc joining you all… For someone who was capable of defeating someone from the 8th stage of the Spiritual Condensation Realm at the 3rd stage, a whole 5 stages difference between them, you can be sure that he might not even be overwhelmed by a 9th stage now that he has advanced to the 4th stage.”
The elder revealed quite the face when looking at the reactions from most Hiddens, with only a few of them not being surprised by it, but merely apprehensive as if the elder’s words worked great as a confirmation of such things really being true.
“But seeing you all here, ready to go onward to your mission. Let it be known that almost all of you are almost as strong as each other. Your squad leader might be weaker than others in his position. But he is one of the greatest lower leveled cultivators of our sect, and the union of your strength will be the perfect show of our Self-Mutilating Honores Sect’s might out there anywhere you - we - all go!”
Everyone became emotional the moment such words were finished being spoken, while Ciemnosc looked back at the elder in silence, thinking of nothing but indifferently glancing around.
