Saim glanced toward the entrance.
"He'll explain everything when he gets back."
Suddenly, the doors burst open.....
Garayon entered with a wide grin on his face.
"Hey! I'm finally here!!"
"Bruh, you made me scared for a moment," Saim said, holding his chest dramatically.
Garayon awkwardly said. "aah...Sorry about that…"
"Yeah, try opening the door slowly next time," James added calmly.
Garayon sat down beside them and looked around.
"So… the training arc is finally going to start soon, right?" he asked excitedly.
"Yeah, of course," James replied.
Meanwhile…
A plane landed under the burning African sun.
Samuel stepped out first and looked around carefully.
"So, we're finally in Nigeria," he said quietly.
Robin replied, "Our mission includes Nigeria, Somalia, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger… and several other regions."
Hobin smirked slightly.
"And with this, both our training arc and mission arc officially begin."
Robin nodded.
"By the way, this mission might last for more than a year."
"Well… that's a ridiculously long time," Hobin muttered.
Samuel smiled confidently.
"Perfect amount of time for massive growth."
"Yeah, but it's also going to be boring at times," Robin added.
"Nah, trust me. It won't be," Samuel replied.
The group continued walking through the streets.
After a moment of silence, Hobin spoke again.
"Do any of you actually know anything about the leader of this organization?"
Robin looked at him for a few seconds before shaking his head.
"No, brother. I have absolutely no idea who he is."
Samuel frowned.
"This is honestly insane. We're infiltrating an organization we know almost nothing about."
"Yeah, but you already have the plan, right?"
Hobin asked. "And what exactly are we supposed to do now?"
Samuel stopped walking and began explaining seriously.
"The plan is simple. We enter the organization and slowly rise through its ranks. While growing stronger inside it, we'll destroy it from the inside."
His eyes narrowed.
"This mission only ends after the death of the organization's leader."
Robin smirked.
"Well… that actually sounds pretty cool."
He said in middle.
Samuel continued,
"Also, a few members from our side are already working inside the organization as spies."
"Huh? Spies?" Robin raised an eyebrow. "That's actually kind of awesome."
"Yeah," Samuel replied. "They may not be strong fighters, but their IQ is on another level."
"Oh… I see," Robin said quietly.
In Japan…
Kane stretched his arms.
"I can't wait to get stronger," Kane said with determination in his eyes.
James crossed his arms.
"Training alone will be useless until you gain real experience in battle."
Saim sighed. "Adding that dramatic line wasn't really needed, though."
Everyone laughed lightly....
Garayon leaned forward curiously.
"So, James… exactly how long will our training and missions last?"
James thought for a moment.
"Hmm… maybe less than a year."
"Well, that's good," Saim replied.
"And what about Samuel's mission?" Garayon asked.
"That one will probably last over a year," James answered.
Saim looked surprised.
"But how do you even know all this?"
James glanced at them.
"Because I'm part of AGSA too."
The room instantly went silent.
"Huh?" Saim blinked in shock. "But how? You never even went to Russia, right?"
"You don't have to be in Russia to join AGSA," James explained. "There are branches in multiple countries, including Japan."
He paused briefly before continuing.
"And the leader of AGSA is extremely powerful and influential. In fact, most people don't even know his true identity."
Garayon suddenly leaned backwards, and looked up.
"To be honest… I want to leave this organization someday."
Everyone looked at him.
"But why?" Saim asked.
"Not now," Garayon replied quietly. "Maybe after a few years… once I become strong enough."
Kane tilted his head.
"So what are you planning to do after that?"
Garayon smiled faintly.
"I don't know… maybe live a peaceful life."
"Well, that honestly sounds pretty nice," Saim said.
James shook his head, and smiled slightly.
"You can never truly live peacefully after entering this realm. Once you step into this realm, there's no real rest… not even when you grow old."
The atmosphere became quieter.
Garayon looked out the window.
"Maybe. But I will still try for it."
Kane laughed softly.
"In the future, I'll probably just start my own business."
Saim suddenly spoke up.
"I really wish Samuel was here with us."
James looked in the eyes of Saim,
"Never let your emotions control you during a mission."
"Huh? But we're not even on a mission right now," Saim replied.
James raised an eyebrow.
"Did you already forget your mission?"
Everyone looked confused.
"What mission?" Garayon asked.
James slowly smiled.
"Your training mission."
"Huh? Training mission?" Saim repeated.
James stood up and looked at all of them.
"Yeah. Starting today, all of you will train for an entire year."
A confident smile appeared on his face.
"And by the end of it…"
"I'll polish every one of you into diamonds."
Kane burst out laughing.
"Bruh… I'm not gonna lie, that sounded insanely cool."
"Bruh, why you can't get serious for a moment?" Asked Saim with a smile...
