Chương 55: Chapter 55
Lucky 53
Scarlett opened the door when she heard the Principal's approval. Apparently, she was the first to enter the room, or perhaps she was specially called for a certain reason. Her eyes scanned the room and confirmed that she was alone.
Scarlett did her best to hide her limpid eyes, Calix kept pacifying and comforting her to make her feel better. She cried but Calix was there to give her solace. Was it really hard to be away from your loved ones? As a person who experienced it, yes, it is hard.
"Good morning, Principal Rinaha."
Scarlett strode and greeted the Principal. Rinaha waved her hand and gestured for Scarlett to sit. Scarlett nodded and sat. She looked straight at the Principal and waited for her to speak.
Rinaha coughed and started speaking.
"As you know, the border is in crisis and they need reinforcement. The job is not going to be hard, you are required to help the frontlines but you will be in the farthest place. As a long-range Vindicator with endless fuel, the border decided to give you the best spot to show your true skills. I picked people who will protect you from any attacks. In short, your job is-"
"To keep bombing them and maximize the damage to Aberrant."
Principal Rinaha nodded. She didn't like going side steps and went directly to the topic.
"Since this mission focuses mainly on you. I decided to appoint you as the leader of this team."
The Principal added, no tint of sadness could be seen in her expression. All the emotions she showed earlier vanished. Right now, she was acting as a Principal.
"I promise to you that your safety will be met. As long as you released all your hatred towards the monsters, I will write a good recommendation for you. I remember that you don't want to work under your father."
The Principal glanced at Scarlett, waiting for her reaction.
Scarlett said it two years ago, she was angry at her father at that time, and even now she was angry. She didn't deny what the Principal said and just stared at her.
Principal Rinaha could see that Scarlett was serious, she was not lying at all. Fortunately, Principal Rinaha had connections and she could put Scarlett in a better battalion. Besides, Scarlett is a talented Vindicator, she has a powerful Term Attribute and the fuel was almost non-existent. She could say that Scarlett was definitely blessed by heaven. Perhaps Luck is always with her. No one would hesitate to pick her in their companies.
"Good, your team will show up in just a few minutes. I decided to talk to you first to inform you since you're the main foundation of this team."
Scarlett just nodded, she didn't want to talk anymore. She was dissatisfied with the current situation but she swallowed it.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward as they wait because Scarlett didn't speak at all. After a few minutes, the students that Principal Rinaha specifically called showed up. These students have high credits and their futures as Vindicators are great.
She started the briefing and the students listened attentively. After some time, the briefing was finished.
"You still have four hours to prepare, you can call your parents and your friends. The chopper will come afterward and I don't want you to be late. Pack the things that you deemed to be needed, and last, I want you to come back alive. That's all."
The principal dismissed the meeting and the students came out one by one. As for Scarlett, she immediately walked to the meeting place that she and Calix talked about. She wanted to speak to Calix before preparing her belongings.
She was walking fast, some students greeted her but she walked passed them without even looking. Before she leaves, she wanted to clarify some things about Calix. Especially about his Term Attribute, Scarlett was not stupid and she knew that a lot of females had feelings for Calix. They were just clouded because of his backlash, or was it? Perhaps their instincts were telling the females to get Calix since he is a Miracle Creator. To be honest, Scarlett had some discontent but she knew the best for her and Calix. She knew when to step forward and backward.
'They say that men don't like nagging girlfriends who suffocate them. As Calix's future wife- I mean, as his girlfriend, I will support him to any of his choices. Hmmp! I'm confident that he will return to me no matter what happened. I'm his first, I'm his girlfriend, and the last thing was… I- I don't know if he remembered it, b- but he promised to me that he will marry me!!'
She squealed inside. She was a young girl who was going to meet her crush. Although Calix wasn't ger crush anymore. She is Calix's girlfriend and she was happy about it.
She was walking eagerly and quickly reached their meeting place. The meeting place was the abandoned storage room behind the campus where they had their first time. However, when Scarlett reached the place, her face frowned looking at Calix. Why? Because two cute girls were flirting with him!
Calix was scratching his head as he did his best to make them go away. However, the two girls were persistent and kept talking to him. They were blushing and their movements were flirty, tugging their hair behind their ears and talking sweetly. In fact, they even touched Calix's body which made him uncomfortable. Still, he was smiling and did his best to talk friendly with them.
Then, when he looked around, he realized that Scarlett was glaring! Her deadly stare was directly aimed towards the poor girls!
Calix couldn't help but shrugged, he then raised his hand and waved at her. He smiled and walked towards her, he deliberately did it to escape the persistent girls. However, before he could even take three steps, Scarlett opened her mouth and spoke. It was obvious in her tone that she was infuriated
"You two, get out of here. I have something to do with this man."
Fortunately, she was still thinking straight and didn't say anything that may cause a problem. However, her gaze was so sharp that it almost sliced the girls into two. The poor girls shuddered and quickly left, they glanced at Calix for the last time and escaped. Their intuition was telling them that Scarlett was angry, everybody knows that Scarlett could eradicate a sports convention. No one wanted to make an enemy out of her.
