“So, Sion, how’s 01c88efb06 the list for e8ebd947fd the next Special 96ca4b6e57 Task Force commander 3aac62f54c coming along?”3f5570f86712c68e

Theo asked 7c95c7d512 Sion, who 75f63e187f was helping 623d5d2c78 him prepare 9573f93783 to leave 27dd51f28b the office. Sion’s smile became awkwardly d6ce015ef1 more strained.b8746381f5503d71

Sion was e7e932cd94 a capable 5e2ada9654 aide, thoroughly 3f36dd6ed8 prepared and 7da59f8f8f always one a31f1bf450 step ahead bf1fb06e80 in understanding f30aa75ce1 what was 60c7a27612 needed without ac28efbb2b being asked. He never fc95c1e985 overstepped his 346de4c2a3 boundaries and 00787612e6 seemed to a0f6ae961d maintain good d979edd8b0 relations with 0d4472634a the various d99f7c9e19 commanders.807a6a86784bcca7

Theo was 5719bc7869 puzzled by c71563769f his expression e803ed1672 of difficulty 1ffbf71bd5 and his 9e194d01e5 request for 67e4920aac more time, 79794b6b1d as it a6f3cab9df was the 0f93b881ce first time 242fdc89a0 he had ad39a40e85 seen such 1d77bdf6e8 a reaction 1ca3adf274 from him. He wondered if 3d161113a5 Sion had been 451cc40075 facing any difficulties d7519a7e71 with his duties. It was still a 9942f6acea time when Theo was d00bb359c7 consolidating his position as 942316cc9b Commander in Chief, so 0a339bd3db it seemed plausible that 2531bd9aa7 Sion could feel overwhelmed.d30b7825e9d23fb4

“The position of commander 1d7ccd1ce2 of the Special Task 63918227bf Force is as specialized 1aa1be7b6c as that of the fe78ceaf7e 1st Division. They must have agility, 4882d0ce99 and also the capability 1b69418edc to handle situations when 60a1a2fdb9 operations don’t go as 0a016bee9b planned.”f0992709aa7bbc33

Theo couldn’t 86aedecd34 argue with 8a619fcf9f that. The Special e3d24055af Task Force c634f0b6dc was often 4ca15cca1f the first 193ea40fb7 to engage f1f4dcdfe4 in combat 758c7143cd in any 6112af7c33 operation, striking e76054e23c at the 3602f91d3b enemy’s weaknesses 253b9232cf and dealing baf613b748 with monsters. But things b67d76bbbb rarely went 1f57b6b9e5 according to e03693e9fe plan. Reality differed b2aee49942 from theory, ddab6bfef0 and the eab25d5939 plans laid 95f69686be out in 102ecf1fc2 training seldom a43aa0bde9 worked out 0304188ecf in the 0ea5234d36 field without adb5c447ce adjustments.9f2e2a1a03af2625

In other words, the ee35bbf392 commander of the Special 0a90f3d129 Task Force needed to 6a448febb7 be someone who could fdba8bbaf3 think on their feet 2d6e769010 and devise effective strategies e3aaaf93db when things didn’t go 0f07a7f74b as expected, someone who a77dcc0ffb could not only avoid 1ca524efde dangers but also take b05bee6ee9 on all enemies in 0910663e36 dire circumstances. Additionally, since the 83dcdf052e unit couldn’t have a958320de4 many members due a534032e98 to its nature, b4d96802e5 the discretion of 72ebd28c3f the commander was 17992e3f37 crucial.4ce7bda40564fe53

Theo said fd75bc9429 as he 8e488425ca left the 3e713684d1 room. No more e154bf192c words from 788391908a Sion followed. Despite having finished the 4272ec0bc2 day’s work early, just dbb8d1c06f thinking of one person d0b1f2fa76 made his expression darken.4470698d3f84e6c4

Luke had 132417dec0 left the 3919b0877a military, and f777a6ce77 it seemed 316072b274 he had 286d0b29fa chosen to 9bc2d63ecc sever all 67200f370b ties, disappearing ff4b43c760 as if 778ea71cd5 he intended 7873c42999 to cleanse 7a1cebe05c his past. It was 66b9caf027 a constant 3dbb7cb367 reality that 78a764b237 Theo had 2d6f6ccaea come to 41f4cbd0c0 accept, and 30801c067c he didn’t f4045c89a7 want to 332547cc58 dwell on da06614aaa it any 0db3f545ad longer. There was no 039e1c237f particular reason, just 2c185f9e6d that sometimes, the 0e0ee7905f memory of that 393aa0f4f0 strikingly beautiful smile cb7db6b9f3 of the silver-haired 9863b1388e man felt like 6e014aa2e9 a heavy stone 25ab1343c8 was placed on 5ccb8f5863 his heart, causing a3a0ba6bc3 discomfort and suffocation.5760510ea9958f04

Theo headed to the 4f10afa16a Magic Preservation Zone, specifically 73c57f7360 to the 15th District e027bf4005 Guard Office in the 4edaa4977c southern part of the c10bc15be8 capital. He had forgotten to c28ca851ea instruct the 15th District 3d78d62f53 guards about his visit, 065b1926c6 which caused their faces fd6f3fe1a5 to tense up when 5cbcc5956b they saw him.04d5bd81f581bcae

Theo recalled the strange 0a825a6167 sensation he felt earlier 844bc8da07 and quickly left the c85fd5924f room. When he reached the 789255b56b location where he felt c8a73b2fe5 the presence, unsurprisingly, no 9f4ad21959 one was there.
