Then with a feeling of surprise, Alex said. "What?! So you all already know the reason? That's not fair! Come on and tell me about it too." Alex said with a little whining.
"I'm sorry Alex, it would be better if you still didn't know about it ... Now we better go home and rest. Tomorrow you will start training with Hershey." Ryuji said.
"Yes Alex, rest for the day." Billy said.
Then while feeling a little disappointed, Alex sighed, but he immediately answered those words.
"Hmm, fine. But what about my shield power training?" Ask Alex.
Miran replied, "Sorry Alex, I think for the next few days I will be busy practicing wind power with this necklace. So we have to postpone your shield power training." said Miran while showing her new wind necklace relic.
"Yes! And I will accompany Master Miran to train now." Max said excitedly.
But it was different with Alex, he looked lethargic and immediately took his bag, then he said goodbye to all of them and walked out of Billy's gym. Even though Ryuji walked with him and hugged his shoulder, but Alex still felt gloomy. Therefore, it looks like Ryuji will spend a whole day trying to cheer up Alex so he can smile again and not worry too much about the reason why Ryuji keeps refusing to train him.
While on the other hand, while looking at Alex and Ryuji who were leaving. Miran spoke to Billy.
"Will he be all right?"
"Yes of course ... Although Alex really wants to receive training from Ryuji, but we can't force Ryuji to do things that can awaken his past trauma."
"Hmm, yes, you're right."
And Max suddenly said. "So when can I try on the wind relic necklace?"
Then immediately Miran and Billy looked at Max with a flat expression.
Meanwhile, when Alex and Ryuji were on their way back home, apparently someone was watching them from a distance. The mysterious person looked through the binoculars so that it could see Alex's figure more clearly, which a teenager who was currently walking while chatting with Ryuji.
The mysterious person who was watching Alex was a woman with long blonde hair, she wore a gray uniform that was quite tight and fit her body curves. Moments later, the woman got a phone call from her boss, the boss figure is none other than Richard Snyder.
Richard Snyder was in his private office which was quite spacious, with several large windows that gave a view of the city at night. He called the monitoring woman to inquire about the progress of her mission, namely the mission of monitoring the members of the wind faction group. It seems that currently the GRIM Taskforce has managed to sniff out the whereabouts of Billy and his friends. Besides that, they are also interested in the figure of Alex who is always given an escort, but it seems the GRIM taskforce still doesn't know that Alex is a Holy knight.
While watching, Richard asked the woman.
"Did your mission goes well."
"Yeah, so far there hasn't been any disturbance. By the way, I saw two easy Targets walking back home… Should I catch them now?"
"No, you can't be careless... You must keep a closer eye on them, so that we can catch them without a hitch."
"But this is a golden opportunity for me, while the surrounding are quiet."
"No, it's too dangerous."
"But I can certainly catch them alone."
"Don't act too fast, you have to bring a partner to take action against them."
"Hmm, okay Boss." Said the woman.
Then Richard continued. "In any case we must first identify the abilities of the targets we will be dealing with... Now go back to the base and complete the report on the targets you are monitoring, then tomorrow I want you to monitor them further, but this time bring 'Liliana' and 'Tank' with you for Further execution."
"Are you will coming along?"
"If my business with the councils is over, then I will definitely follow you there."
"Hmm... Alright, I understand." Said the woman.
Then the woman immediately stopped the reconnaissance, because she had to return to the base immediately. That way, Alex is now officially under the supervision of the GRIM Taskfroce, and that means Alex will soon face another danger that threatens his life, as well as the lives of his friends.
Long story short, the next day, Ryuji and Alex came to the abandoned construction area that Hershey mentioned yesterday, but it seems that Hershey hasn't arrived yet, because no one was there. The two of them came to that place after Alex came home from school and he looked very excited for today's training, therefore Alex is ready to do it. After Alex put down his bag, he immediately took off his uniform and put on a regular t-shirt, besides that Alex also straightened his hair.
So Ryuji who saw this suddenly asked.
"Hehee, you want to impress Hershey huh?"
"Huh? ... N-no."
"Hershey is too straight to the point kind of a woman, and she doesn't like clumsy people, I don't think she'll be interested in you." Ryuji said jokingly.
"Who's trying to get him interested???!" said Alex.
"Hahaha."
"B- by the way ... Do I still often act clumsy?" Ask Alex.
"Yeah, sometimes."
"Hmm."
