<h4>Chapter 26: A New Problem</h4>


    "Do you know anything about the sectors?" Instructor Aelia asked as Hael gave a nod.


    "Yes. I know, ording to you, that Sector Z is a backwater sector where it is an incredibly hot desert, and also thest mission we underwent was in Sector X, where there is probably an ongoing war, and um, that''s all I know..." Haelpleted as Captain Aelia pped her forehead.


    "It really is a disgrace that there is a ce in this world with absolutely no idea of the sector. Then let me enlighten you, kiddo..." Captain Aelia said as Hael also perked his ears up.


    This was a chance to get learn about the new world that he was in. A chance he couldn''t afford to waste...


    "The number of sectors is divided into the number of alphabets, A to Z, and those are also divided into three: Eldritch territory, Human territory, and the Unsafe territory, which is unfit for both races.


    The Unsafe territory consists of just 5 sectors, Sector V, W, X, Y, Z. It acts as a war zone between the two races, and sometimes a secret hideout by the Eldritches..."


    "Oh, like the one in Sector X?" Hael asked, remembering they had really gone to fight in an Eldritch hideout.


    "Yes, exactly." "And with the five ces being unsafe, there are how many sectors left, just 21?" Hael asked, drawing a nod of acknowledgement from her.


    "Out of those 21, the human territory owns 16 sectors!"


    "WHAT!?" Hael eximed in shock as he heard those.


    "Wait, wait, so if the humans own 16 sectors, then the Eldritch forces only own 5 sectors?" Hael asked in shock as Captain Aelia gave a nod. "Wow. That''s basically an area advantage for the humans, isn''t it?" Hael asked.


    Never would he have guessed that the humans own 16 sectors and the Eldritches only own 5. He had thought since it was a war, they should both own equal and perhaps a minor increase in percentage which would denote the current leading race of this war... "While the humans might truly own 16, it doesn''t mean we have any advantages.


    AThe Eldritches don''t reach a quarter of our total number, so the five sectors are already more than enough for them. And also, the five sectors are heavenly barricaded, so much so that no human who has ever entered one of the five great barricades of the Eldritches ever returned!!!" Captain Aelia dered as Hael''s spine turned cold.


    "But now, the Eldritch who have remained secluded in their five sectors are now sighted in Sector F. One of the most human poption-concentrated sectors. We might have pushed it away as the frequent stupid Eldritch curiosity that makes their young onese over here only to be caught and spanked hard before they get ransomed by an especiallyrge fee from their leaders.


    But 20 sightings in a week are definitely not some Eldritch curiosity. Most likely, they are preparing something big, and in such a concentrated sector, whatever they are nning isn''t anything good..." Captain Aelia said with a troubled expression as Hael''s eyes shed... "


    So does that mean..." He asked but suddenly got interrupted when the sound of vibration and music rang out as Captain Aelia dropped her pocket into her coat and brought a smaller rectangr device...


    Swiping on it, she raised it to her ear before the strange voice rang out from it...


    "Hello, Aelia."


    "Hello, Jessica..." She replied.


    "Congrattions on yourst mission. Your crew has alreadye to retrieve the reward but you haven''t, and that could be said of yourst ten sessfullypleted missions..." The voice holding a bit of grudge as Captain Aelia rolled her eyes.


    "I already told you to give it out to the lesser hunters; I don''t need those rewards..."


    "How can you keep performing missions and taking no reward!? It seems to me like you''re just risking your life for nothing. Like you know, no result to show for it..." The tiny voice said as Hael turned to look at Captain Aelia while raising her eyebrow...


    Why would she not take her rewards after almost dying in such a dangerous mission, instead giving it out to lesser hunters? While it might look like a kind act, Hael knew it was very stupid. Who knows what might just save one''s life at thest minute?


    "The results are the sessfully aplished missions and the Eldritches that I have sent to hell for their crimes. So I really do get my rewards in full."


    "That''s the twentieth time I''m hearing that sentence. You really are a bonehead. Anyway, Aelia, have you heard the ongoing news in Sector F..."


    "Yeah, I just did, this evening..."


    "Well, the higher-ups are super worried about it and are predicting it might just be the new beginning of another massacre like the one in Sector H. So they are sending various Captain Levels Hunters to the scene with their crews for them to gather clues and also apprehend as many Eldritch as possible. I know you''re not interested in the reward, so I know that''s not an advantage. .


    But I will just say this might be a really serious case, based on what the Higher-ups are offering as a reward from the signing up. It''s thrice greater than yourst dangerous mission in Sector X. So what do you say, Aelia?"


    "Sign me up for it..." Captain Aelia immediately replied as Hael furrowed his eyes.


    "Well, you have never said no before, and you didn''t even hear of the danger level..."


    "That doesn''t matter. If they are sending other amateurs called captains to the scene, then I think It shouldn''t be beyond my level..." Captain Aelia replied with not much change in her expression...


    "The Mission will begin just a week from now. So you have a week for rest before starting, see you soon Aelia. And those rewards are still with me, I won''t give out your hard work."


    "Hey, Jessica, I said..."


    "Bye..."
