Chapter 92 A Hunter's Office—Nathan
***
In An Office In The Hunter Association Building
Nathan organized so files on his desk and set them aside.
He glanced at his terminal and muttered to himself while scrolling through a list of nas.
"Emir, hunter ID 777, appoint from low to high-level suspicion list."
In an instant, his terminal began to ring, signaling an incoming call from a UEF agent.
Quickly collecting his composure, he answered the call.
"Hello to you, Manager Nathan, we have received an update on a hunter nad Emir to be sent to the high suspicion list, is that correct on your end?"
"That is correct, he was under suspicion for using his connection with the old-world network to disable a few bombs on a truck in a patrol request, however, he has recently gotten access to an Aether core implant."
"I have no idea if he knows that it was an Aether core or not, but he sold it to a relic rchant recently, either way, it's safe to increase his suspicion level."
The UEF agent replied after a mont of silence:
"Understood, Manager Nathan, continue with your work, the UEF will soon investigate Hunter Emir in more detail. If any connection is established between him and the Order, he will be taken into custody, so do prepare for that."
"Will do, there is nothing else to report on my end, no one has yet to clock in my activities." Nathan said.
"Great, keep up the good work Manager Nathan, we shall be contacting you soon." The agent said as he ended the call shortly after.
Nathan sighed heavily and muttered to himself, "Why would the Order stoop so low as to involve children in their sches?"
Leaning back in his chair, he gazed up at the ceiling.
"What's the point of having the Cosmic Civilizations Alliance if the Order doesn't abide by its regulations?"
In a sudden surge of anger, he slamd his hand down on the desk, sending papers flying around the room.
Nathan's frustration boiled over as he let out a primal scream, "GOD DAMMIT!"
The stress and anger of the situation had reached its peak, causing him to lose control.
With a deep breath, he resigned himself to the situation.
"Haaaah… There is nothing that we can do either way." He muttered, trying to calm his frayed nerves.
'Now that I think about it, he was incomparably weak compared to those elite kids, the only advantage he might have over them is his experience.'
'Or rather, their kids ranked up incredibly quickly, sothing must have happened. But I guess that is too big of a thing for a low-ranked agent like to involve myself in.' He thought with a chuckle.
"He even asked about joining the Academy as an Elite, huh, he truly might not know anything, even if he is connected to the Order they can still be hiding information from him, but it all doesn't matter now."
"Sorry, Emir boy, but if the UEF catch you, then there is nothing I can do about it, let's just hope that you aren't what they think you are."

UEF Academy
A professor walked around the classroom, handing out NDA forms to each student, emphasizing the importance of confidentiality for today's lesson.
Lily was one of those students.
Receiving the contract, she thought, 'What is this about? And why are the elites not getting any?'
She soon realized that whatever they were going to taught today was a big deal, sothing that was only known to people at the level of elites.
Lily carefully read and reread the contract multiple tis, searching for anything that could be detrintal to her.
Satisfied that there was nothing of concern, she confidently signed it.
After a few monts, the professor collected all the contracts as he announced the start of the lecture.
"Today, most of you will be learning about a secret that only a certain few know about."
The professor paused for a mont, knowing the wild reactions of the students would take so ti to die down.
He then scanned the room, making eye contact with each student to ensure that they understood the seriousness of the information they were about to receive.
Finally, he spoke, his voice commanding attention:
"Today's lesson will cover highly sensitive and confidential material. As such, I implore you to keep this information to yourselves. Failure to do so could result in severe consequences not only for yourself but for those around you."
The students sat in silence, the weight of the professor's words sinking in.
They knew that this was not going to be a typical lecture.
Once the students settled down, he continued, "I will be talking about Aether."
"Many of you have never heard of the term before, so let provide you with the history of it."

As humanity of the old world faced a growing crisis of energy shortages and environntal decay, scientists were desperate to find a solution.
They scoured the earth and sea, searching for new sources of power, but all their efforts seed to be in vain, or so was believed.
That was until one day, a team of researchers, led by a single man, stumbled upon an incredible discovery: a new form of energy that had been hiding in plain sight all along.
It was a mystical force that existed in the very air they breathed, waiting to be harnessed.
The researchers found that with the right technology and the right equipnt, they could extract this energy and convert it into power.
But there was a catch.
Both the human body and machinery at the ti were not designed to absorb this energy.
If it were simply released into the air, it would dissipate harmlessly.
So the scientists had to find a way to store and utilize this energy.
After many long years of research and experintation, they finally found a solution—a solution that would revolutionize every industry, profession, and the entirety of the world itself, expanding possibilities to new, previously unimaginable heights.
