*Note: Expect that there are typos and wrong grammars here*

-:-

The members of the D.G.A are starting to prepare themselves for their first mission that will take place later. They are wearing a cream jumper and a white tshirt with the logo again of D.G.A in the upper right corner of the shirt.

Habang nag-aayos sila ay hindi mapigilan ni Raiden na tignan si Lyon. He is still worried for him, mas lalo na at ngayon na ang kanilang mission. He is afraid that Lyon might got harmed with his dark power. Pero napapansin din ni Lyon ang pagsulyap sakaniya ni Raiden, hindi na lamang niya iyon pinapahalata. They didn't open the topic anymore since they were exposed in public, at ayaw na rin naman nang pag-usapan ni Lyon iyon.

"Raiden." Napalingon si Raiden sa kaniyang likod nang tawagin siya ni Elora. He smiled immediately when he saw her as if he forgets his problems. "Don't pass out later, ah. Makakaya mo naman, diba?" Elora's voice were full of concern.

Mas lalo namang napangiti si Raiden nang marinig niya iyon. He felt the care and concern from Elora, at masaya na siya na ganoon ang naging reaksyon ng dalaga.

"I'll be fine, Elora. Don't worry about me, you should think of yourself dahil kakalabanin mo pa yung mga mystique creatures. Be safe, Elora." The side of Elora's lips rose as she felt how her heart skipped because of happiness. Dahan-dahan siyang tumango sakaniya, hindi pa rin nawawala ang ngiti sakaniyang mga labi.

"Tara na, mamaya muna ang pag-ibig."

Natatawang sabi ni Jackson nang dumaan siya kayna Raiden. He keeps shaking his head while smirking as he marched down.
Nagkatinginan naman sina Raiden at natawa sila dahil sa sinabi ni Jackson.

"Let's go." Sabi ni Raiden at kinuha ang kamay ni Elora at sabay silang bumaba. Sumunod naman sakaniya sina Harem at Lyon. Nahuli sa pagbaba si Trovis.

"Is everyone ready?" Tanong ni Professor Benedict nang makababa na silang lahat. He roamed his eyes to the members of the D.G.A as if he was scanning them.

"Yes, Professor Benedict." They all answered in chorus.

"Magnifico. The spaceship is waiting for us at the field of our school. We will land in the Maledin Kingdom after an hour. Let's go."

It's already seven in the evening, and they chose this time so that the other students won't able to see them travel. They quietly stormed out the D.G.A room. Hindi sila nag-usap habang naglalakad sila palabas para pumunta sa field ng school dahil iyon ang inutos ni Professor Benedict. Para hindi na rin maingayan ang mga ibang archimages.

Pero habang naglalakad sila ay biglang nakaramdam ng kaba si Raiden. Alam niya na dahil iyon sa mga mangyayari mamaya. Ito ang unang pagkakataon na makakasali siya sa ganitong grupo, kaya hindi rin niya maiwasan ang kabahan mas lalo na at siya ang pinaka-sentri ng misyong ito. It's his first mission in his dream school, and when he thought, he felt a little excitement too.

Naramdaman ni Elora ang panlalamig ng kamay ni Raiden kaya napatingin siya kay Raiden. Nag-aalala rin siya para kay Raiden dahil alam niya na hindi biro ang gumawa ng isang malakas at malaking barrier. But she hopes that everything will be fine.

They already arrived in the field and they saw Victor standing right in front of the huge spaceship. Sinilip muna ito ni Raiden at hindi niya maiwasang mamangha sa laki niyo.

"Professor Benedict."

"Headmaster."

"Are they all ready for this mission?" Tanong ni Victor habang ginagala niya ang kaniyang tingin sa mga miyembro ng D.G.A. Ngumiti siya nang dumako ang kaniyang tingin kay Lyon, sinuklian naman iyon ni Lyon ng isang matipid na ngiti.
