One of the members from her squad, the man with similar colored hair as her and the gauntlet was on his feet and calling out to her. βOi Elphida over here!β he quickly waved over to her. Elphida was a little shocked at the opened display and couldn't help but feel eyes staring into her. She didn't remember his name but... it went something like... Ryan Ironhand or something... Sounded about right, but Elphida had a feeling it wasn't correct either.
Deciding not to be stared at for too long, she picked up her now empty(not so empty) plate and threw it into the boxes for cleaning before making her way there. Their squad leader was there, Rey Vandelion, his name, she knew. Not because he was the squad leader and she was trying to suck up to him, more like he was the squad leader and didn't seem to give a damn about things... She was scared of people like him. Sure, they weren't scary, but sometimes things happen due to their lack of interest and care. A small male was also standing there, although twig thing, he was taller than she was. She couldn't figure out whether he was a Guardian or Magus, and she probably couldn't anyway, seeing as how she had totally no magical skills like the rest had. Another girl with red eyes and again, same colored hair as she did was also sitting there. Everyone from the squad was here.
"...Hi. I don't really recall your names, apologies..." she stopped herself from stammering, which was successful...except maybe that slight quiver during the start of her sentence. But... at least she didn't stammer all the way.
βEnter.β
Meeko did not hesitate to open the doors and enter upon having granted entrance.She had only been to the room once before, but she still envied it. Large and semicircular with bookshelves and display cases lining its walls, at the center was a huge circular desk at which the Headmaster sat, draped by a wall of windows behind him. The mountains beyond were cast with early morning light at their peaks, but as the office faced to the west the morning sun had yet to grace the room with its warmth, and the dark cherry finish of the furniture added to the professional vibe the office exuded.
Just the way it was like when she first came in.
"Sir, Meeko Bertrand reporting." she saluted, then motioned to her clothes with an embarrassed but elegant gesture. "I do apologize for the lack of appearance. I had no time to change into the academy's uniform. You see, I just arrived."
"Now that the casual talk is aside, I'd like to just say that the crime lord that was put under my care is now closely monitored by the armed forces. I did have to resort to certain measures of... 'negotiations', but after capturing one of his henchmen after the small skirmish I had in one of their safe houses, we've gathered some intel as to the different safe houses he has. They're currently under surveillance. One bad move, and he's on the way to prison."
"On any other day, I would have loved to apprehend him myself." Meeko sounded a little confident, and somehow arrogant as well. "But I was only ordered to track his location, or in this case, locations, down. My mission is complete."
