Chapter 123 Protecting people.
"That's all for today," Sasha said as she looked at the twig in her hand, the same twig that Uriel held back then. "You guys have trained really hard and Eun Soo already run out of stamina to heal you guys. Let's continue this tomorrow morning," Sasha watched as the twig disappeared, and then left the training ground.
Anzel and Luis were supposed to be the ones that should be able to keep up with the training, but they both were exhausted and in pain. Gea and the others were resting on the side since they had already spent their time training with Sasha.
They were powerless against Sasha since the more they trained with her, the gap between them, and became wider. It felt like Sasha's potential was limitless and she progressed faster than them. They still had no idea what power Raphael gave her, but being jealous of her was wrong, so they didn't really think about it.
"I think I know what kind of new power that she got. She got the skill to borrow every skill and weapon from the angels, but I'm not sure how many that she could borrow though," Anastasia said after she observed Sasha for the past week.
"Well, she's our leader, and she seems to be a special one because of her virtue. She's invincible right now, and I don't think we will face another disaster like in Norway now," Gea pointed out as she tightened her shoelaces.
"She might look invincible, but compared to Mykel and his team? I still don't think she can win against them," Danny responded as he leaned against the wall and caught his breath.
"Please don't bring his name or anyone related to him in our conversation. We agreed to not speak about them since it would only make us look fucking useless," Anastasia said as she looked at Danny, and she was annoyed by the topic.
Danny raised his hands and stopped ruining the atmosphere as he apologized to them.
"By the way, since we are done here, how about we go out and have a drink? It's been a while since we all go out together," Gea asked as she looked at everyone.
"I was about to say that. Let's hang out somewhere peaceful this evening. I'll ask Miss Sasha if she wants to join or not," Eun Soo said as she looked up at Gea since she was lying on the floor catching her breath.
The evening came, and they were all waiting on the ground floor of their apartment. When they were waiting for Eun Soo, the elevator doors opened, and they were surprised to see Sasha with her. Sasha decided to join because she was getting bored from staying in the apartment doing nothing.
"Let's have fun tonight!" Eun Soo said in excitement with a huge grin on her face.
They went to the beach in Queensland and enjoyed the night breeze as they drank and ate dinner. It was so peaceful that they could see the stars and hear the waves so clearly.
"Miss Sasha, since Miss Lilith is gone, what will happen to the Redshield Guild? Will Agares become the guild leader again?" Anastasia asked as she held a bottle of vodka.
"I have discussed with Agares, and I might take the guild and become their guildmaster," Sasha answered as she drank her hot coffee.
"What?! Are you going to leave us, Miss Sasha?" Gea asked as she frowned at Sasha.
"No. Since you guys have been doing most of the work in guild affairs, I have so much free time that I don't know what to spend it on. So I'm thinking of taking both guilds and becoming guildmaster," Sasha answered and stared blankly at the sea. "It will be the same over there because Agares and the others will handle the guild affairs for me. So at least I can have something to do in my free time," Sasha added and took a sip of the coffee.
"Is that allowed? I mean, there's no such rule to become a guildmaster for two guilds, but won't it be a bit difficult? Like, what if you have to give a vote in the Guild League, and you have two voices instead of one which would be a bit unfair," Luis asked with curiosity.
"What's the difference if Agares become the guildmaster? He will follow my lead and will take my side. Either way, I don't think it would be a problem," Sasha answered and kept her eyes on the sea. "I'm going to order something. I'll be back," Sasha said and then went inside the restaurant.
Sasha went to the bar and saw the TV hanging on the wall with the news about the terrorist attack by Mykel and his team. She watched as the portal in China was being heavily guarded by soldiers and Awakeners. She saw guilds from Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and other countries from southeast Asia gathered to arrest Mykel and his team.
"Finally they do something about it! These guys are worse than demons!" A man said as he enjoyed his peanuts at the counter. "That Mykel guy hurt his own colleagues, and now he's going to pay for it," he continued.
The man looked at Sasha next to him, and he was surprised to see her there in the restaurant.
"You're Miss Sasha, right?" The man asked in disbelief. "What are you doing out here? Aren't you supposed to be there with those guys?" he continued.
"It's a waste of time," Sasha answered as she ordered a drink.
The other people at the counter heard her answer and they were in disbelief. They started to stare at her with weird expressions, and they were judging her. She didn't care about them and she just wanted to enjoy her time there.
"A waste of time? Are you dumb?" The man asked. "They killed people and destroyed a whole fucking city. They're terrorists that need to be eliminated, and you say that it's a waste of time? You're the one wasting your time here," he continued.
"You can say whatever you want, and your words don't matter to me because I know how strong the Rebirth Guild is. People like you who can still enjoy your drink in a fancy place like this and have a good night's sleep have no right to say anything about the current situation," Sasha answered as she watched the bartender make her drink. "Those people will die, and if the Virtue Guild goes there, we will die as well. If we die, who's going to protect this place if a breakout happens? You?" Sasha asked and glanced at the man.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The man went quiet and didn't know how to respond because, in the end, the Virtue Guild stayed there to protect the people. If he complained about it, it would only make him a joke and he would be in the wrong.
"If you don't believe me, just keep watching since you have so much free time to complain, and you have nothing to worry about, right?" Sasha asked as she grabbed her drink, and then walked away.
Before Sasha could go outside, a sound of breaking news could be heard. She stopped and turned around to check the news on TV, everyone also went quiet to hear the news.
"We have received a report from the United States that a breakout is happening in Montana. The demons are unstoppable, and it has been confirmed that the demons are different from the previous ones," The newscaster informed as she read the paper in her hands. "A breakout is also happening in Poland and so far there are at least thousands of people died in the past thirty minutes," she continued.
"Right now, a breakout is also happening in China, and all the guilds near the portal are trying to fight the demons. We also see movements in Antarctica again. With that information, the Prime Minister request everyone to stay at home because he believes a breakout will happen to us very soon," The newscaster said with a worried expression.
Everyone in the restaurant was shocked, and when the man turned around to look at Sasha, she was already gone.
Sasha wanted to tell the others, but they all already knew what was going on because they got a phone call. They were requested to defend the area around the portal immediately, and helicopters had been sent to their headquarters.
"Here we go again..." Anastasia said after she emptied the bottle of vodka in a single gulp.
