Knock! Knock! Knock!
Orel's eyes which had been glued on the queen on the chessboard, shifted from it to the door.
"Come in," he said, annoyance seeping into his voice.
He had been in the middle of something important, but had been cut off.
The door opened and a young man in a grey uniform stepped in, he had a headset, used for hands-free communication between different departments of the MIO.
Makun remembered having seen him moving through the corridors earlier. He looked nervous, his eyes darting between Orel and Makun before settling on neither.
"Sir, Team Seven is requesting the new recruit at the arena," he said. "Team Leader Carter said immediately."
Orel's lips curled into a slight smirk.
"Haa, she doesn't waste time," he muttered, more to himself than anyone else.
Makun frowned. "She?"
"Your new team leader." Orel leaned back in his chair, fingers tapping the edge of the chessboard. "Danielle Carter. She is a first-grade Adept of the warrior route."
