The 100 Operators Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really love you

Chapter 21

"I see..." Kal'tsit raises an eyebrow at her before shrugging, "Well, that's all I wanted to ask, so both of you are dismissed..." She trails off as she looks around on the desk, "Hold on, I think I got something important for you, Ashura."

"...Are you trying to overwork me here?" Ashura's eyes and mouth twitch, "First Yan, the cave, and now another one? I would like a break, please."

Kal'tsit doesn't answer as she keeps searching before letting out an 'Aha' as she lifts up a folder, "Sorry if you feel like being overworked right now, but we need you to gain experience in this world fast and what better way would be sending you on missions nearby here?" She apologetically smiles at him before getting up then walking over to him.

"In a few more days, we might be needed to go over to Lungmen to negotiate a deal... Involving the materials we were supposed to have." She hands over the folder to him while ignoring the deadpan on his face, "Unfortunately, you will need to keep your face hidden since the leader of the place knows that you "died" but don't worry about your voice since you had only me talk to him."

Ashura awkwardly smiles as he sees Kal'tsit sweetly smiling at him while he could practically see a black aura covering her, "I'm sorry?" He says while holding his hands up in a surrender gesture.

Kal'tsit drops her smile as she sighs, "I told you, you have nothing to be sorry about since it was the previous... Ashura. He never told us anything about him and the only reason we knew his name was that he needed to have a name instead of Doctor in his profile," She then mutters, "Not like he ever used his name, just Doctor and Dokutah."

Ashura merely nods but keeps on glancing to Atalanta, who is trying to not smile. He clears his throat to stop Kal'tsit's ranting and speaks once she stopped, "Well, don't worry... I won't let anyone else see my face... Don't want to remind them of who I am."

Kal'tsit sighs as she frowns at him, "You don't need to do that, at least here..."

He sadly smirks at her, "Sorry, this is the one thing I can't compromise." He then looks upwards, "Better to just be a no face kinda guy than the previous Doctor who let his face be known."

"...I will make you change your ways, even if it's limited to Rhodes Island."

"...Thank you," He very quietly mutters to himself to avoid being heard by anyone.

"Ok, I believe we should be going now, Doctor Kal'tsit. We still need to check up on the girl we brought in," Atalanta, who was silent for most of the time, speaks up while grabbing his sleeve to drag him to the door, "We'll read the dossier later!"

Ashura lets himself get drag while waving his other arm to Kal'tsit, "See ya later, Kal."

"...Bye?" Kal'tsit slowly waves back as she sees Atalanta opens the door, to reveal Nearl standing in front of it with an awkward look.

They chat for a bit, more like Nearl talking to Ashura than Atalanta, until the latter lightly bows at the former and drag him away.

Nearl sadly gazes at Ashura as his form slowly shrink until it vanishes as he rounds the corner. She sighs before heading inside the room to talk to Kal'tsit.

"Slow down Atalanta, please," Ashura pleads as he gets dragged by Atalanta, "I'm going to fall at this rate!"

She rolls her eyes but complies with him by slowing down yet still holding on to his sleeve, "Thou deserve it if this much can make you fall."

"...I've only been training for like what five hours in total? Even with your spartan way of training, I can't even move without falling when I swing my sword."
