Chapter 48 New Team Mates?
(From MC Perspective)
I heard an announcement sound in my ears. Hearing that I opened my eyes. I thought I had shut my eyes off for five minutes, but I fell asleep. The train slowly reaches the platform. As the train stops, passengers begin to exit one by one slowly. Seeing that I too stood up from my seats and walked towards the exit.
After walking out the train station, I see that I reached before the said time. The Headquarter is a walkable distance from here. Since there is some time left for the meeting, I decide to walk. Rogue Mages uh? It's quite thrilling to think about working with police mages to catch rogue mages.
But there is also some uneasiness in my heart. It may be due to high death rates. Technically, I'm still a student and a civilian. So Captain Tyler might not send me in harm's way. After comforting myself, I increased my pace. There is not much scenery to see, wherever you turn around you can see only high storey buildings.
Several minutes later, I reached the police headquarters by walking. Looking at the time, I smiled. "Still there is ten minutes left" I mumbled. Then I slowly walk towards the information desk. The same middle aged person is sitting behind the desk who earlier that day directed towards the interview floor.
Seeing me coming, the middle-aged person smiled and said, "Oh, it's a new recruit, I heard you got picked up by Captain Tyler. Congratulations by the way. And my name is Mill Gibbs, You can call me by simply Mill."
Listening to his greeting I was surprised. I thought he was kind of low key and introverted. But now he sounds very expressive. Maybe that day he might have worked over schedule.
"Thanks, Mr. Mills," I said.
After saying that I asked him about Captain Tyler. He told me that Captain Tyler's cabin is on the second floor. Then I used a lift to reach the second floor. When the lift door opens, I found the same office assistant who managed the interview session. I hurriedly walked towards him, seeing my appearance he himself stopped and said, "Vincent, isn't it? Get inside, Captain Tyler is waiting for you"
"What?" I was taken back.
Don't tell me he has been waiting here for me. I know there is still some time left. But anyway, let's see what he has to say. While pondering it, I stepped inside. As I walked inside, I found several powerful gazes on me all of a sudden.
Feeling such an intense gaze, I halted my footsteps and looked at the people. I saw Captain Tyler sitting behind his desk. Other than him there were few people sitting on the couch. Instinctively, I knew all of them were powerful mages.
Seeing the solemn expression of Vincent, Captain Tyler let out a small chuckle. "Ha…Ha…Ha…, Vincent you are here. I'm glad that you are on time. Don't be scared, these guys were your seniors and fellow team mates of our special task force."
As expected, this is about a team meeting. Even though they didn't release any breath. I can somehow feel overwhelming pressure from them. Seeing that Vincent is still in silence, Captain Tyler decided to break the ice by saying, "Okay, Vincent. I will introduce our team."
Hearing his words, the four mages sitting on the couch were surprised. Suddenly, a thought came to their mind. When did their captain sound so nice? For a moment, they glanced at Captain Tyler and Vincent Carey.
Without waiting for Vincent to reply, " First, Let me introduce myself. I'm Tyler Dixon, Level -4 Power Mage. Captain of the Special Task Force Team."
Then he glanced at People sitting on the side and commented, "The Brown haired person is Alan Pitts, Level-3 Speed Mage. He is Vice Captain of our team and second in command; The other person is Jimmy Herman, Level-3 Sensitive Mage. His attribute is his sensing of all kinds of smell. His sense helps greatly in differentiating smells and tracking them."
I observe the Vice Captain Alan Pitts. Unlike Captain Tyler, I can clearly feel disdain in his eyes. He is not the only one; others also looked at me with disgust. Sight, probably they feel I might be weak. Which is true, I'm not supposed to fight in the front line. I'm here to assist them with small tasks.
But our Vice Captain is really interesting. I have only seen Speed Mages in movies. Among Physique attribute mages speed mages were rare. Captain Tyler Magic power is very common amongst Physique attribute mages.
And when comes to another senior named Jimmie. I feel weird hearing power. I'm not fan of Sensitive Smell Sense mages. Among Magician circles, they have a widespread nickname as Nose mages. As their smelling sense is much stronger than some monsters.
After introducing the male members of the team, Captain Tyler introduced female members." She is Pam Levine, another Level-3 sensitive mage. Her attribute of magic is a high pitch voice. "
I saw him pointing at blonde women. High pitch Voice, Damn! It's very painful to ears. Then I glanced at the last member. At this time, Captain Tyler commented, "Finally, She is Lottie Ewing, Elemental Mage and Her Elemental Attribute is Wind."
When he finished saying that I observed the last woman. Unlike the blonde women, Ms. Lottie is short, 5.6 ft. tall in height. Curly black hair, straight nose and perfect chin. Her appearance is the same as blonde women except for the difference in height.
After understanding their ability, one word comes to mind. Damn! Except Ms. Lottie, The team is full of Physique attribute mages. Power, Speed, Smell and Voice. The only missing power is hearing.
Seeing that Captain is still looking at me, I know it's my time to introduce myself. But seeing the team members, it's clear that they are not interested to know about me.
Harumph, They still don't know that I can kill them with ease. Nose Mage and Voice Mage, Their physique is very weak. I don't think they handle my gravity power.
I will remind them it's not good to show their attitudes towards me. Captain Tyler observed the reaction between them. He instinctively knew his team members did not feel good about Vincent. He sighed in his heart, "They don't know how scary the kid talent is. And his faction is not some small random organisation."
"Cough" "Cough" Captain Tyler broke the ice by coughing. Then he decided to introduce Vincent to others.
"Everyone meet our new part timer. He is Vincent Carey, Level-1 Gravity Mage. And he is a high school student. " Captain Tyler introduced Vincent in a short and sweet way.
When Captain Tyler introduced Vincent. At first they didn't have much of a reaction. But when he said Gravity. Their expression filled with shock. "Sub-taboo" Ms. Lottie blurts out in shock. Taboo and sub taboo variants were rare, even in history their appearance can be counted in numbers. Now, seeing such a person right in front of them they are in disbelief.
Finally they understood why their captain sounded so polite while talking about Vincent. Now, they can't even lift their heads to see his face. Vice Captain Alan Pitts' expression changes drastically. The disdain in his eyes was completely replaced with fear.
I observed the various reactions of them. Then I looked at Captain Tyler and said, "Captain, Can you tell me about my work. And also I can only come to work late in the evening."
Hearing Captain Tyler sighed. He understood Vincent was also not impressed with his team members. It will be difficult for them to cooperate for a while. Anyway since he is part timer it won't affect his mission that much.
After pondering it, He answered, " Vincent, Your work here is to coordinate with our informers to collect information and make a formal report. Don't think informers were in one or two numbers. There were more than a hundred eyeliner waiting for our department. Amongst them somewhere active and some chose to hide for a while."
Then he added, "When it comes to work timings. There is no need to visit headquarters for work. You can even collect information and make reports at your home itself. But make sure that information is not leaked and kept confidential."
Listening to Captain's explanation my expression turned bright. Finally, there is some good news. Making a report, it's not that much hard. But I have to deal with various groups of people. It obviously involves good communication skills. Looks like there is no way I can use my gravity power here.
Anyway, I took a part time job to earn money. With that I can practise comfortably at Claudia Gym. My only goal right now is to train inside the Mana Filled Chamber as much as possible. Only in this way can I speed my level up.
Talking about Claudia Gym, He didn't mention salary. "Okay Captain, But What about the salary?" This is the most important thing. Someone said money can buy crazy a** happiness. It's 100% true.
