“Well, anything else you want to know?” Sunny questioned, open to answering anything.

“Not really, well not at the moment anyway.” I couldn’t really think of anything else I wanted to know.

“Well then, I’ll take you to meet your team, you have a captain and 2 other comrades” she got up from the wooden seat, waving at me to follow her steps.

“What grade am I?” *I really didn’t care where I ended up honestly, I just don’t want weak teammates.*

“Grade D, group D19” she excitedly explained as we arrived into one of the buildings.

“Oh, alright.” *Grade D doesn’t sound too bad for someone who just joined.*

“Well we put you in D, usually new people are put in E as rookies. But I suppose your a special case, hopefully you can learn fast and catch up!” Sunny elaborated as she slid the doors open.

This one, unlike the earlier with Sai, was busy and bustling with people.

As the door closed behind me, and I was immersed into this hall. I could feel immense auras of power surrounding me. I could tell everyone here wasn’t a joke.

*Everyone here seems intimidating.*

I almost got lost in the moment, my instincts calculating the power and emotions I faced in immensely stronger things.

But I was pulled back by Sunny “Cmon now! Don’t get lost in the crowd” she pulled me aside, into the front of a door.

“We’re here now, aren’t you exited?” She seemed joyful to introduce me.

I looked up at the doors sign, a golden plaque nailed to the top.

The words carved into the golden plate; *D19: Raven Perez S Grade Executionist*

“You have quite the talented Captain, sadly she..” Her last words trailed off in a whisper as her face filled with sadness.

But I didn’t question it, I didn’t want to be rude.

“Anyways, welcome!” She opened the door with a loud slam. Disregarding the earlier she said.

The door revealed 2 people sitting down on the mat as one woman stood before them.

*My captain? Well she was surprisingly short..*

Not like it mattered anyways.

“Uh.” I couldn’t find the right words to say, because it looked like I interrupted something important.

The guy sitting closer to me looked up. And his piercing black eyes glared into mine as his katana layed on his shoulder.

They were cold and gloomy.

His hair was curly and brown, and his skin was tanned. Decent sized scars across his face.

The other guy next to him glancing slightly at me, he looked surprisingly boring compared to the other one.

“Oh, hello sunny, convenient timing of the new one” Raven smiled softly at us arriving.

“We’re just about to depart for the Mull mission, we could take him with us” She got up from her sitting position, barley reaching near my chest at hight.

She had black painted nails, long wavey hair. And her eyes were the same shade of red as Kazu.

“Oh yes, that would be great, just show him how you handle missions properly, it could be a lesson as well!” Sunny stated.

“Well, I’ll be gone then, take care Haku!” She stepped out the doorway and slided the door back shut.

I felt out of place when sunny left the room. “When are we going?”

“Right now, I’ll introduce these two and myself to you in the car, as well as explaining the mission” She motioned for us to follow her.

The two got up, the curly haired scar face one eyeing me still.

As we walked along the halls, he continued to look at me, as if something was with me.

“What?” I looked to the side at him, questioning his motives.

“Your aura is strange, I’ve never seen anything like it.” He continued to look around me.

“Is that a good thing or bad thing?” He didn’t seem like he had malicious intent.

“I don’t even know, I’ve never seen it.” He layed his katana on his shoulder as he strolled along.

*His katana gave off a strange aura too, I mean, I’m no expert. But it was similar to Sai’s Scythe, but weaker.*

“That katana gives off strange vibes as well” I pointed out his blade.

“It’s a cursed grade” He seemed to have pride and passion in his weapon as he spoke out about it.

“I mean I’m new here, but I think it’s strange for a D grade to have a cursed grade right?” *It was odd, I would have assumed wielders of cursed grades would be S grade or a pilliar.*

“Yeah it’s weird, I should at minimum be pushed up to an A at least right?” He seemed annoyed at the fact he was ranked this low.

“Quit whining Ronald, you might have a powerful weapon, but your overall skills aren’t on that level” Raven interrupted our conversation as we trailed behind her.

“Quit calling me Ronald miss, it’s Ron, and I’ll be in S grade someday.” an annoyed expression covered his face.

“Well I’m your mentor, so you can’t complain!” She chuckled slightly, clearly poking fun.

We arrived into the car, the mission didn’t really seem too serious. It wasn’t really a big deal.

But my heart still beat like crazy, and I felt anxious and nervous. The further we submerged into the mission, the further I felt from safe.

*Its not a big deal, I’m just like this because it’s a first time.*

“You good?” The silent guy finally spoke. He seemed to show genuine concern.

“Yeah” *no.*

*Play: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_n8bfmo43bE While reading*

We all got into the car, Raven sitting in the front seat with the driver, his eyes were covered with a pair of tinted glasses. His skin slightly tanned, and hiding behind a black trench coat.

Underneath his feet, was a long wrapped object, giving off strange vibes.

I felt as if he was someone important, but I disregarded it.

The 3 of us squeezed into the backseat, and clipping on the belts.

Raven turned back to us and began to explain the mission. “There’s been a strange Mull around, apparently it’s stronger than usually. The grade E rookies we sent to look at it from afar were ***killed**,* their bodies were not recovered.”

“Killed?” I didn’t understand how the mention of death could just be casual and disregarded.

“What? You scared?” Ron grinned at me.

“No, it was just so.. unexpected”

“Hmm, yeah right” Ron laughed a bit. “It is your first time, let the experts handle it” he pointed at himself, obviously poking fun.

“Shush for a moment Ron, I’m explaining.” Raven flicked Ron on the shoulder.

“So, our mission. We’re going to kill it quickly and go home. It can’t be stronger than Ron at most.” Raven elaborated as the car drew closer to the loacation.

“Madam, we’ve arrived.” The mysterious driver stopped the car in front of a shopping district alley.

It was abandoned, and a mess along the streets, abandoned items, and food. Maybe even possibly blood.

A warning tape was set around the entrance, with 2 suited men standing before it.

We exited the car, shutting the door and the driver went off.

I stepped onto the rough concrete, extremely unlucky to wear all white air forces. Judging by the mess across the streets, these will be grey by the end.

Ron slammed his blade and sheath onto the ground, proudly exclamating “I need me some fresh Mull head!” with a grin across his scarred face.

We approached the two suited men, and they opened the yellow caution tape. Nodding their heads at Raven.

They retaped the warning strips, and we entered the dark shopping district alley. Lined with small shops on the sides.

We took 60 steps at most, falling deep into the alley. Then there was a turn.

It felt like a maze in here, the buildings around us so tall we couldn’t see the sky.

The alley lined with garbage and debris.

A sudden realization. A shiver went down my spine.

I looked back at the corner we just turned. And what I saw before me made my heart stop beating.

It was the same turn we just took. As if there was a mirror. But there wasn’t, it was undeniable. The same trash in the same place.

Exactly the same.

“Raven!” I quickly swung my body back at the group.

“I know.” in her hands was a morning star. The black chain connecting the handle and star reflecting the sky above us.

But in the reflection, it was another corner, the same one I just saw.

I looked up in horror, I stopped breathing completely. It was the same alley, ***infinitely repeated***.

Ron drew his blade, the polished black edge reflecting the same ***infinity sky***. The echoing sound of blade against sheath rang across the entire reality. “***Shit! .. SHIT, SHIT!”***

“I’ve never seen this before. The only possibility is an Awakened users ability.” Raven stood still, calculating the situation and possible scenarios.

“But I sense absolutely no soul anywhere.” Raven began to continue and speak. I knew the words that would follow.

“That means, it’s a Mull.” She finished the exact words I had in my mind.

“**THAT AIN’T DAMN POSSI-“** Ron started as he gripped tightly into his blade.

My comrade was dead, the boring one that didn’t speak. His head laying on the ground in a flash of second.

And I didn’t even get his name.

Besides him layed 2 dead bodies, dressed in what I assumed were Aoi grade E uniforms. Obviously Executionist’s.

The grade E that we’re sent here, the ones that were killed and their bodies weren’t recovered.

Memories of Tyler dying as fast as that flooded my mind. I couldn’t move, I only felt a surge of negative emotions.

I looked to the left, where the trail of blood followed, *horrifying noises of something.. that wasn’t* H̶u̶m̶a̶n̶*.*

*I don’t want to look, I don’t want to, I wanted to **kill myself** right there because of the horror I saw.*

The thing opened it’s mouth and spoke.

“***D-do.. y-you, se-e, m-m-Ee aS wHat I am?***”

Why can it speak human language. That thing can’t be human.

***Kill me, kill me please***
