The building was entirely dark brown, shrouded by towering, lush trees, with thick vines climbing over it, completely obscuring the structure.
As he entered through the dimly lit passageway, he found a spacious hall illuminated by a soft glow that brightened the entire room.
Similar to the Bounty Guild, there was a reception desk where a girl in a black corseted long dress stood behind it. Upon seeing him, she smiled and said, "Hello! Please go up to the second floor and walk straight ahead. The second room on the left is labeled '007.' Someone is already waiting for you there."
"Wait, isn't joining the Enforcement Team just about taking on missions?" Xiar asked curiously.
"That's correct, Mr. Xiar. However, to enhance security and improve mission efficiency, many tasks now require teams to be formed for completion."
The sweet-faced girl continued with a smile, "Each team consists of five members: a Pursuer and Hunters. The strongest among them serves as the team leader. Lord Bean has already instructed that you join the team led by Captain Cattleya."
"Oh, I see." Xiar nodded and stepped up to the second floor.
His brow furrowed slightly as he felt a hint of trouble; after all, he harbored many secrets that made it unsuitable for him to team up with others.
Upon reaching the second floor, he noticed that each door was marked with a number, ranging from 001 onward. It seemed these were the offices for each team.
According to intelligence he had gathered from Lyle, there were around three hundred logistics personnel in the entire Enforcement Team, with fewer than one hundred official members.
Yet, this small group of dozens was one of the academy's top forces responsible for maintaining security throughout the institution.
From this, it could be inferred that the people here were clearly not ordinary individuals.
Given his current superficial strength, his presence here was purely due to connections and Lyle's request.
Moreover, Xiar was suspicious that the formidable Master had easily agreed to his request, perhaps out of consideration for Leslie.
As he pushed open the door to the room, Xiar instantly felt a powerful Killing Intent enveloping him, like a terrifying beast ready to pounce.
Was this a show of intimidation?
He had already mentally prepared himself and walked into the room with a calm expression, only to find a Bald Man glaring at him with an unfriendly look.
This man was a standard muscle-bound brute, as robust as Marcus, resembling a brown bear. A gruesome scar, reminiscent of a centipede, marred his left cheek, making him appear quite menacing.
"This is Team 007, right? I'm the new guy, Xiar. Nice to meet you all." Xiar smiled and introduced himself as if he hadn't noticed the other man's expression.
In addition to the muscle-bound man, there were three others in the room.
In the left corner sat an alluring woman with curves in all the right places, dressed in black leather armor that barely covered her modesty. Her ample cleavage was on display, and her long, smooth legs were wrapped in black stockings, complemented by high heels over ten centimeters tall. She sat there feigning sleep, hardly glancing in his direction.
To his right was a child with long black hair cascading down to their knees, leaning over a table playing with dolls. Their face was obscured by their hair, making it impossible to discern their features.
The only seemingly normal person finally lifted their head. Their beauty was almost otherworldly. However, what was terrifying was that one of their eyes was blooming with a Bauhinia flower!
They stood up and said coldly, "I am the captain, code-named Bauhinia. Find a place to sit. Now that everyone is here, let's discuss the upcoming mission."
Xiar could only smile helplessly and did not argue; he found a spot and sat down obediently.
"This time we have a Secondary Star mission. The reward for this mission is 00 Contribution Points. Our target is to capture a rogue Second-Level Spirit Master while minimizing casualties among ordinary people."
The man who called himself the captain spoke coldly, his tone devoid of any warmth. "The directive from above states that if the number of deaths exceeds a certain threshold, the mission reward will be halved. If more than ten people die, the mission will be deemed a failure, and you will be penalized with 00Contribution Points."
"Captain, may I ask what this directive means?" Xiar couldn't help but inquire.
"It's quite simple. We have the authority to kill during missions; anyone who resists can be shot on sight." The Seductive Woman opened her eyes and stretched, her soft form swaying lightly.
This made the Bald Muscle Man swallow hard, though a strong sense of vigilance flickered in his eyes.
Killing authority!
"Impressive, I didn't expect such a privilege to be granted," Xiar remarked in surprise.
No wonder they were part of the Violent Organization; while protecting ordinary Students, they also tread upon countless bones beneath their feet.
The White Eagle across the ocean from the Flowering Family was somewhat similar, maintaining social stability through iron-fisted measures. Any resistance would be met with immediate lethal force, even at the cost of collateral damage!
"Tch, just a kid who hasn't even grown hair yet. Lord Bean is just looking for trouble for us," the Bald Man grumbled as he plopped down into a chair, which creaked under his weight.
"We'll move tonight. Iron Tower, you’ll handle the breach; Venomous Beauty, you’ll release smoke to clear the area. Jin, stay by my side." The captain ignored his complaints and issued commands directly.
Xiar waited for a moment before asking in confusion, "What about me? What do you need me to do?"
The captain looked him up and down before replying coolly, "Just follow along. Consider it an opportunity to see the world. You'll get 5% of the reward; no need for you to take action."
"Kid, you should know that we’ve all participated in hundreds of battles. I think it would be better for you to go back and train for a few more years before coming back," Iron Tower said flatly.
"Well, I do feel a bit weak, so let's leave it at that for now." Xiar nodded helplessly, not angry at all.
"By the way, you need to come up with a code name; you'll need it for the report," Captain Bauhinia said.
"Um, my Main Totem is the Moonlight Fox, so let's go with the code name White Fox," Xiar replied obediently.
"Another girl..." Bald Man muttered under his breath but immediately fell silent under the captain's gaze.
Xiar observed quietly. Clearly, just like the front desk girl, the captain was the strongest in the team, instilling fear even in someone as unruly as Bald Man. A smile crept onto his lips.
This was indeed interesting; studying had almost made me forget my identity. This was the life that stirred my blood.
The raw jungle law: the strong are respected!
...
After detailing the mission requirements, the team disbanded, with the official mission set for later that night.
As Xiar left the room, he was called over by the front desk girl. She handed him a palm-sized silver token. "Sir, this is your Enforcer Badge. You can show it if you encounter any obstacles from patrol officers; it has many functions. Now, please input your mental energy into it to bind it."
Xiar took it in hand; it felt light like a wooden board rather than a metal one. Engraved on it was a golden shield and crossed swords, symbolizing protection and combat.
