The door opened slowly.
"Who's there? who are you, people?" One attendant graciously opened the door, asking for the visitor's identification.
Moreover;
As soon as she asked for it.
The eyes of those 4 people began rumbling and terrifying, as all of them vigorously activated their Eye of the Awakening for some unknown reason.

"Those guys....."
She telling to them, trying not to tremble her body.
"Administration Personnel." Shock and frightened she felt for a moment.

"Sam Smeagel, Robert Steel..."
By knowing those two people;
She instantly getting her action, by giving warnings and other crucial orders to other church attendants, solemnly asking them not to deal with.
Perhaps, the other Church Attendants already drew their weapons and Awakening powers due to their instincts and life-threatening situation. They couldn't help themselves but take their part in protecting not just for their own lives, but for the church, they lived as well.
As the result, Misa left nothing but to let their feelings burst out for a moment, instead of stopping them for some reckless movements.
With a bold question and in a tight situation, she made herself trying not to be eaten by fear, trying to ask for their unexpected visit in the middle of the night.
Unfortunately,
She didn't receive any sort of answers as she wanted to take from them.
"We only came here for a certain people, we're not here to cause troubles nor unnecessary actions made between us people of Willow Village Church Attendants." A loud assurance made by Robert Steel, trying to stop the unnecessary misunderstanding before the ruckus made larger.
However,
Misa, with a possessor of Demi-being race, whereas already maximizes her senses on imitating the presence of others.
She was disoriented, didn't believed what they tried to say at first.
Not knowing that the 4 Administration Personnel suddenly releasing their Awakening Power due to their own instincts of being in danger. They Activated it unnoticed and reasonably that causing the people around the church to begin intimidated.
As the result;
The ruckus and unnecessary commotion started.
At first hand to finished the misunderstandings, The 4 personnel slowly deactivating their Eye of the Awakening to ensure the bouts against the Church Attendants will put to an end.
"We will not here to make fights and troubles... please be assured on that." Pista Rambutan trying to negotiate with Misa.
"Hmmm... Ok, fine!" Misa casually agreed with her face blushing like a pure red.
As she saw more than the feelings made by Pista are far good intentions than she expected.
Likewise, the Church attendants did the same thing.
As they felt the bloodlust and mere-killing intentions made by them had began perished and diminished into nothingness. Making them to felt relieved and at ease afterward.
.
Suddenly;
A loud, clanging of footsteps slowly approaching towards the living hall where the commotion started.
"You lot... Are so loud!" A loud complaint was made by the Church Pastor.
"What's happening here?" He absurdly asked.
Out of those people who felt tremblings and frightening in their entire existence.
Misa is also the one attending the question prepared by the Church Pastor.
Apparently;
As a calm, silent observation that he glaring throughout the surroundings.
Also, the bodies that the Church attendants felt were astounding.
He generally understands everything, as well as the situation they made in a blink of an eye.
Not only that;
By staring directly at the 4 Administration Personnel, he also already knew the purpose of having their attention towards an isolated place in the middle of the night.
He instantly activates his Eye of the Awakening, out of his anger and fear against them as the result.
"You came here for that Kid, don't you?"
A bold, daring question made by the Church Pastor, directly contacted the senses of the two Department heads.
Due to that, all of them were startled, completely felt regret for letting their guard down at the moment.
Out of the 4 Personnels, who felt frightened for a moment.
Sam Smeagel was the one answering the question he asked. whole-hearted and kind.
Knowing the fact that the Department head itself was also a wielder of the Demi-being race, but for him, his power is much deeper and more condoning than Misa's.
He easily understands the feelings that the Church Pastor made for the young man that they're looking for.
Not only that, he senses his Awakening Aura. Declaring war against the 4 of them all by himself, trying to risk his life on protecting the young man that seemed very important to him.
Expectedly;
He bows his head on the ground, thoroughly and humbly. Out of his respect for keeping his convictions even if it cost his life inevitably.
The other 3 shocked and amazed at what he saw on him. Thinking that it was a rare scenery for their eyes to see Sam Smeagel putting his respect to others.
Especially when in times of a tight situation.
On the other;
Pastor Ozril graciously felt honored and gladly accepted the apology for having an interruption towards the middle of his resting.
"Don't mind it, More importantly, is that... there were no injuries between ours nor anything larger than desolation in this place at all... What's done is already done, so forget everything about it... hohohoho..." He also valiantly teasing everyone without further explanation.
And so;
The tension was over;
It occurred for at least 5 minutes since the Administration Personnel started knocking on the door.
The Church Pastor gratefully asked his Attendants to leave the place as soon as they were relieved and at ease.
Everyone gladly agreed on it and taking their leave as fast as they possibly can.
Including Misa and the children inside, they leave and went to a nearby house to play and to take their rest until morning.
Leaving only the Church Pastor, the 4 Administration Personnel, and Levi Furiman who enjoying taking the bath, alone and unregarded.
.
Few minutes had passed.
Silence and winds outside are exasperating.
Misho and Pista nervously drinking the tea out of their fears and worries.
As the two are the ones putting their ropes on getting all the intuitions and conclusions regarding the 2 recent dungeon breaks from the start.
Not only that;
'If things get possibly wrong with these, I will kill you personally.'
'Pista, know your place, got it?'
A wicked, vicious glare and threatening words were made by Sam Smeagel and Robert Steel before they entered.
The two poor personnel already suffered threats and warnings made by their Chiefs if their intuitions and speculations went mistaken and unreasonable.
"These two---"
"---Are hopeless..."
The two Department heads already noticed their trembling feelings from the start since the sitting arrangement they made is terrifying.
Both Pista and Misho are in the middle, while Sam and Robert are on their side.
Pastor Ozril couldn't be helped but to felt sad for them.
But then, one thing he remembered and kept wondering in his mind.
"Why are you two Department heads are the ones taking care of this incident? Is something the matter for this?" He asked with curiosity.
As expected, they already prepared for that kind of question.
They answered it frankly and truthfully.

"So that would made sense, If one department cannot hold the task anymore, then the vacant one will be helped and assist the other." Pastor Ozril seemed glad and ecstatic to their efforts somehow.
The two Chiefs felt the same, as the investigations and speculations that their subordinates made had gone paid off and concluded.
The two other Personnel who heard it became relieved and gratified that sipping the teas in their throats are heavier and graceful. They have seen their face couldn't hide their smiles and flamboyant towards it.
"Thank you very much." They bowed their heads as they gladly accepted the praise that the Church Pastor commended.
Moreover;
On the side of their Chiefs.
The faces of both became gloomy and doomed, as the two suddenly realized the commotion they made a few hours ago before they arrived at the said place.
"You s**t-head... Do you dare follow us? So you chose death anyways... huh?" Robert anguished.
"Bring it on, crappy face... You don't remember that this case was utterly mine, right?" Sam muttered.
As the two started heated their tensions.
They unconsciously activated their Eye of the Awakening once again.
And throwing some random punch against each other, trying to put an end to their commotion.
The two poor Personnel had nothing to do with their problem anymore, if they still insisted to involved, they knew will they get killed by their fists.
However;
There was only one person, cautiously drinking his tea with serenity. Trying not to lose composure towards the situation they held in.
In a short span of a second.
He constantly activating his Eye of the Awakening after he finished sipping his tea.
Then,
!Bang!
He valiantly stepping in, in the middle of their attacks.
Like a time stopped thoroughly and unnoticed.
He vigorously managed to block their punches mid-air and unharmed.
For the time being.
It will last only a mere 3-seconds of action against them.
"I apologize for interrupting but you guys... would you mind ended up your personal problems? you went too far to the emotions being uncontrolled." He asked for them with both of his hands still heated up and steamed after a decisive blow made by the Department heads.
Whereas they supposedly landed up with their faces.
The two remaining Personnel felt nothing but surprised and amazed at the same time, as they saw the Church Pastor unexpectedly blocked both the attacks made by the Department heads.
In a glance of his appearance;
Misho suddenly noticed the Eye of the Awakening that the Church Pastor wielded.
As he was the most one being surprised among the 4.
'Pastor Ozril, your eyes... Are you also the one wielding the power of 'Superior Awakening'?' A thought suddenly went puzzling into his mind, the time he finally saw the ability that the Church Pastor already has.
On the other hand, the two Department heads who ones battling their teeth just recently, suddenly felt uneasiness and tremors on their body. As their attacks are completely stopped and already restraint by the Church Pastor.
Not only that;
They felt astonished and astounded as they noticed his Awakening power that seemingly in comparison with the power they wield and possessed.
Sam left nothing but amazed at him as well.
Knowing that his reflexes and reaction are still in the highest tier that able to compare even the strongest Adventurers in Town at his age and status.
"Not bad, for an Old man like you..." Sam commended.
"Come on, I just past 40... I'm not that old like you pointed out, you know?" Pastor Ozril simply nodded.
Robert, who still receiving trembling on his right wrist after he landed a punch towards the Church Pastor's right palm. Continuously wondering about the strength and power that he possessed at the time of impact.
By recognizing the time frame of the impact, the last one he noticed from him was that.
'I saw him drinking tea before it everything happened... Just who is he anyway?' His thoughts kept muttering on his head for a while.
Meanwhile;
At the back of the scene.
Levi Furiman, who didn't bother with the noise and rumblings that happened throughout the church.
His mind went blacked out once again, physically conscious and mentally unconscious for at least a few minutes after he take bath alone.
Eventually, he finally regained his senses after 15 minutes of idled and not doing anything since then.
