Chapter 30: Meeting among the captains
In the magic knights headquarters 9 people were sitting around a long table. They were all the captains of the 9 squads of the magic knights. None of the captains except Yami and William knew the reason behind the meeting.
All the captains can be seen doing various things while waiting. Fuegoleon was sharing his experience regarding the work of Captain with Rill as he became a captain a few months ago. Nozel could be seen eyes closed and trying hard not to listen to anyone's blabbering, Dorothy is asleep as always, Charlotte is taking a few glances at Yami when he is not looking. Jack is telling something to Yami who is sharpening his sword, it's doubtful that if Yami is even listening. Gueldre is calculating how much profit he made recently. Lastly William is watching everyone with a fascination.
Although Rill didn't take his mana reinforcement to grand master level but his unique magic and attack power together with his records was enough to make him a captain. If that was not enough Wizard King was pressurized by the King to make him a captain. Although wizard king is the head of the magic knights, the royal houses have a lot of power especially the Kira house in the decision making of the magic knights. Almost all the captains believe that the captain of purple Orca became captain with unhanded methods.
Rill is considered one of the youngest captains in history becoming a captain at the age of 18. Unlike Yami whose magic is purely attack based Rill's magic is very versatile. A magic that can make everything within Rill's imagination real is not simple .But all the captains are unsatisfied with the childish behavior of Rill .People like Yami and Jack doesn't interfere with the working too much while Nozel doesn't care unless it involved him.
Footsteps reached everyone's ears and all of them stopped what they were doing ,even Dorothy opened her eyes. Two people entered the room as every captains stood from their seat and greeted the them. They were the wizard king Julius and his assistance Marx.
Julius returned the greeting and told them to sit down. The meeting started with every captain giving information on major happenings or development plans.
"The main reason behind today's meeting is regarding something Yami's squad found " Julius looked towards Marx ,he nodded and started a projection on which a strange machine was described .
"This device can absorb people's mana and vitality more over its found that it decreases the rate of mana regeneration by a lot for a period of time .In the recent mission , the Black Bulls figured out the reason behind the disappearance of people of a village."
He kept described all the findings and finally ended with the report of the suicide. Gueldre criticized the Black Bulls for not capturing them alive but Yami didn't bat an eye to him .
Nozel looked towards the report and thought " It was Yami that recruited the four leaf grimoire right .If he managed to change the Black Bulls a little I might think of sending Noelle there ."
Yami felt a gaze and looked towards him so he turned to look but Nozel had already retracted his gaze." Why is the silver head staring at me like I kidnaped his pet " he thought . " Well what ever ,the sooner the meeting end the sooner I can go home a take a dump " .
Julius continued " I want all the captains to investigate this matter further and make sure to find the true goal of the cult . That's its for today . Dismissed ! "

Midnight
In the captain's room of The Golden Dawn base , William Vangeance was sitting on his chair . He removed his mask as his hair started growing longer with his scar completely gone.
Soon a black portal opened near him in which he dropped a letter .
On the other side of the portal a curly ashen haired man who had two long scars on his face opened the letter. In front of him stood a group of people who stood their eyes closed while their mana was being drained . He looked towards his partners and announced "There is news of Licht-sama." attracting everyone's attention .
"What is it Valtos ? "
"We have to lay low for a while as captains got informed about our work. There is no change in plan for collecting rumors about the beasts. "

William looked at a piece of paper and thought "Undine is out of bound , the location of earth spirit is unknown . Fire spirit , water spirit and lightning spirit are obtainable but the location is a problem .Time to contact the underworld … those greedy humans would do anything for money and fame forgetting their moral values ….Humans have always been like this …"
:: Somewhere in the Grand magic zone::
Few cracks could be seen on a big rock . The cracks kept intensifying every minute and finally all the cracks joined together and formed a giant hole in the rock . The pitch black entrance released wild mana around it making plants that were never seen before grow around it .
In the witch forest , witch queen opened her eyes and muttered " so the time has finally arrived " .
