The Officer peeked through the window before even knocking. Seeing no one inside, he clicked his tongue and pushed the door open.
"Where are they going? Don't they expect people from the Administrator Space to arrive?" The officer muttered in a low voice, frustrated. He was so afraid of offending the people behind him.
The officer checked the side room, hoping there were people inside.
"There's no one on the first floor. A person is sleeping on the second floor."
Tang Shaoyang told the officer instead of wasting time, looking at people from the room one by one.
The officer was taken aback, looking at Tang Shaoyang. He wondered how the man knew, but he chose to trust the man's word.
"He's in there, sleeping." Tang Shaoyang pointed at the room at the end of the hallway.
"That's Captain Barome's office," The officer muttered and walked to the room. His mind was still thinking, about how Tang Shaoyang knew. The man even knew Captain Barome was sleeping.
The officer knocked on the door three times. There was no response from inside. He knocked on the door again, louder. There was still no response, and he opened the door. Sure enough, Captain Barome was sleeping with his arms supporting his head on the table.
The officer stepped into the room, "Captain Barome! Captain Barome!" He tried to wake the man, but there was still no response. The officer came closer to the man's ear and whispered.
"The people from Administrator Space are here, Captain."
The man named Captain Barome opened his eyes, sitting straight. He was informed from the fort that the people from the Administrator Space would arrive today.
Baron straightened his uniform, buttoning up his uniform before scanning the group. There were eight people aside from him and the officer from the portal gate.
After a quick scan, his eyes fell on Ira who stood closest to him. He smiled, "Welcome to Arnoit City."
Ira smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Captain Barome. We are here to report for the draft call."
Captain Barome smiled wider, "Thank God you guys finally arrived. The situation in the frontier is not that good because of the constant attack from the Void Creatures. For unknown reasons, The Void Creatures in our territory become more active than the other territories."
He then approached Ira and offered his hand, "My name is Barome, a captain of a hundred men from the Hurakan Legion."
"My name is Ira, and I represent The Reds, but he is my team captain, Tang Shaoyang," Ira gestured toward Tang Shaoyang while telling Captain Barome who was the real captain, then she continued with the remaining team, "She is Atilla, Captain of Kalisto, and he is Michael, Captain of Chalice."
Captain Barome reached for Tang Shaoyang, Atilla, and Michael, "Just three teams?" He expected more teams, at least seven, and wished for ten teams.
Barome had a little bit of knowledge about the Administrator, and how the system worked there. How Administrator moved as a team, forming many teams to fight against The Void Cult. He admired the Administrator for fighting the Void Cult. If not for his The Hurakan Kingdom, he might give a try to join the Administrator.
"Unfortunately, yes. Executive Administrator Palmas who was supposed to lead the mission is dead. We are the quick replacement, and if the situation is urgent, the Administrator Space will send more teams later."
Atilla took the initiative to explain the situation. Ira and Tang Shaoyang were shocked to hear the first part. Executive Administrator Palmas was dead.
Tang Shaoyang glanced at his Admin Helper with a face of inquiry. The latter shook her head and did not know anything either. For an Executive Administrator's death, the Administrator Space was too quiet.
Michael and his team members were not surprised. Maybe that explained why they were not surprised with the new guide, Blue Cloud.
Captain Barome furrowed his brow, not expecting the news. But then he understood why the draft call was delayed.
"My condolences." It was just for a brief moment before he smiled again, "Since you are all here to replace an Executive Administrator. You guys must be as good as the Executive Administrator."
"I can't say that for sure. There's a new team here. In fact, he just became an Administrator a few months ago." Michael responded as he looked toward Ira and Tang Shaoyang.
He did not forget to pick a bone with the people he disliked when he had the chance. He was no longer afraid that he and his team would be excluded from the mission since they were here already.
"This is the first time and the last time that I will hear your voice ever again, Michael."
Tang Shaoyang did not even take a glance at Michael as he said that. But he made sure that the warning was delivered, although it did not sound like a warning since his tone was casual.
Michael was about to provoke Tang Shaoyang further until he met Atilla's gaze.
At the same time, Captain Barome also lost his smile. He clapped his hand hard and released his aura at the same time. The dreadful aura filled the room, and the officer's face paled as he stepped back against the wall, getting further from Captain Barome.
"While The Hurakan Kingdom appreciated for the Administrator to adhere to their promise for the draft call. We don't need troublemakers here. If you have a problem between you, then solve it before you come here. We would rather send you back than accept troublemakers here."
Barome's aura got more intense, but it did not affect the six people in front of him. He tried to intimidate the six Administrators with his aura, six of them unfazed in front of his aura. This was the reason why the Administrator was admired by many, because of the aura. Even the person who just joined the Administrator was not affected by the aura from the person who had been fighting the Void Creatures for more than ten years.
Atilla turned toward Michael, "If you are going to keep your attitude . It's better for you to go back, Michael."
