Chapter 60: First mission
Selena froze mid-action after her name was called, she stopped chewing what was in her mouth and glanced over at Mia. From the woman’s expression, anyone could tell that she wasn’t happy that her name had been called.
"But I’m eating," Selena said in protest.
"No problem, you can bring it along and eat it along the way," Mia responded with a wide smile on her face.
A hint of frustration appeared on Selena’s face, her eyes roamed the faces of everyone in the living room before arriving at Mia’s face again.
"Why me? I just returned from completing a mission not long ago." She complained with a depressed look on her face.
"Sigh, I know. Anyway, go get dressed so we can leave soon. The earlier we get there, the earlier we’ll return." Mia said before walking toward a couch to sit, she was waiting for Selena.
The frustration in Selena’s eyes became more evident at the turn of events, it was obvious that Mia wasn’t planning to listen to any of her excuses. Left without a choice, she got up and left with her meal.
Alex had watched everything with a perplexed expression. Even he felt that it was strange that Aunt Mia wanted to take Selena in particular, even though there were other members of the group present, there were other Core mages too if that was her reason; Simon was a Core mage.
MIA noticed Alex’s expression and giggled from across the living room.
"Don’t mind that, she’s just lazy and likes to avoid work. Besides, this will be your first mission. Are you nervous?" She asked.
Alex didn’t know how to reply to her question; he could lie that he was nervous, but he didn’t feel like it. So instead of answering, Alex asked about the mission.
