Sapphire City's
Chapter 12: First Mission: Tuyul in Photo Studio part 1

Two weeks, Yuda has completed his grueling training. From that training he was finally ready to jump directly into the field. Even though, his heart was still tense because, he had just met the first pig near death, what else later when he got the first mission.

Although, his seniors have told him, if later he will not get a mission that is above C. besides that also for his first 2 missions he will definitely be a team with his seniors.

The team system here, each Front Line does not have a fixed team, everyone will be deployed in a team that has been selected by its members. All of that is so that each front line can get to know and cooperate with each other, although sometimes there are conflicts.

Yuda sat quietly in the shooting room. He's grabbing the weapon he just received. Assault Rifles, he chose Assault type firearms because for him it is easier and more comfortable in his hands. For the weapon, Yuda asked for a twin knife, arguably although Assault was a long-range weapon, but at least he had to provide another weapon to fight the enemy who suddenly appeared from behind.

Suddenly someone stood in front of her, Mirna, she was still wearing a black uniform, with the bottom design being a knee-length stamped skirt, the top of a short legged black shirt dress ornate red ribbon. On the belt hang a sword. That's Mirna's weapon. He's done the mission.

“what are you doing here yourself?” Ask Mirna.

“only muses” replied Yuda against lesuh.

“tension before getting the first mission huh? Everyone must be like that” said Mirna, suddenly she was sitting next to Yuda.

“Myrna want to Ask? Is this your second battle?” Ask Yuda.

Mirna bowed her head as if she was exhausted from the “iya mission this was my second battle”

“when you were selected how did you feel?” Ask Yuda again.

Mirna was initially silent for a while, she looked up at the sky-ranging fire practice room as if she was trying to sort out what she had to say to Judah.

“at that time, my feelings were mixed. Why did all this happen, why did I have to fight. After all what I think must be everyone also felt it”

“when you first join the first mission how do you feel?”

“just as rich as you, tense and that there must be a feeling I don't want to die that's just”

What Mirna said was common to everyone, surely they were all afraid of death in missions and battles, even though the mission carried out was not alone, but the risks that will be faced will not be predicted easily.

Mirna noticed the weapon held by Yuda “you chose the firearm apparently”

Yuda nodded “for me, this weapon feels comfortable that's all. Mirna herself why choose a sword?”

“I only choose weapons that make me able to end the fight quickly that's all” replied Mirna although according to Yuda it is not the right answer.

If Yuda thought back, no Front line would dare to use a sword weapon. You could say only a handful who ventured to use weapons deadlocked or arguably need extra courage.

Without Yuda being aware, Mirna from earlier noticed him. When he realized, Yuda immediately jumped to the side. But somehow the look on Mirna's face was full of curiosity after she finished paying attention to Yuda.

“you why the hell?” Yuda asked still feeling uncomfortable.

“your face” Mirna still doubt “entah why if you pay close attention, rich face of Europeans. But from afar the face of an Asian. Weird”

“ooh hahaha, my friends also say the same thing as you. But just so you know, my parents are not bule”

Mirna dumped her face “that's yes, hmmm really mystery”

Want Mirna who said it was a mystery, Yuda alone is still confused why everyone if they pay attention to his face up close always say like a European. Just thinking about it made him tired.

Yuda and Andy are summoned to a special room not far from the Hall. This must be a call for the first mission, because when called they must wear a complete black parasite uniform like an army although the effect is different and easier to move with the weapons that have been given. Yuda notices Andy carrying a Shotguns-like weapon. Although the weapon has a pause to dance the trigger in his body. But Andy still chose it, but because the weapon has these weaknesses, Andy must bring handguns with him as a backup.

Once inside, there was Lia the hooded girl who originally explained about the division of positions, she stood beside the head of the table while holding a tablet. In front of the head of the table were three people dressed in black uniforms. Two tall men in their 160s each had short black and brown hair, white skin color and one woman tied a horse, black hair color. High around 150s, brown skin. They wear clothes like black shirts and jeans, for men wear black ties, while women wear red ribbons on the neck. Each of them has their own weapons. The woman carries a pair of handgus on both her waist, the brown-haired man carries a weapon similar to Yuda, while his friend carries Launchers?!.

“Yuda and Andy have arrived yes” Lia welcome the arrival of Yuda and Andy “introduce, the three of them will carry out the mission with you. Senny, Gin and Rio”

Senny waved to Yuda and Andy. Gin only nodded while Rio smilingly welcomed the arrival of his two juniors.

“good without time consuming, I will explain your mission” Lia turned on the projector screen there is a display of a photo studio building located right behind the building sate “task you five is to eradicate a group of Tuyul and turn on 1 empty gem”

Lia picked up a small brown box, she opened a box containing Sapphire gems that still shone brightly to Gin “the team principal is Gin, listen even though this mission is level C. but never underestimate the enemy”

After an explanation from Lia, one team left the room, and walked towards the exit.As they walked Gin, Senny and Rio introduced themselves. The three of them were seniors Yuda and Andy who had already experienced 2x battles, arguably this was their third battle. Gin also explained that the first thing they should aim for is the leader of Tuyul itself, he has the characteristics of one of which is a larger body size than tuyul in general, but more important than that, the leader has the ability of Telepathy.

“Telepathy?” Andy was surprised to hear that.

“yep, every matis leader must have it, and that's why they can manage his men well.” Gin explains “so first we need to aim for is their leader, if the leader we have executed, then, then his men will automatically be scattered berai”

Suddenly Judah remembered something “maaf wanted to ask, previously we have explained about independent and territorial matis, then from what is explained that independent matis enter the territorial matis region then, then, from what is explained, they will directly cooperate, whether Independent matis can also telepathi”

Gin nodded “that's right, they can telepathically. But they can do more than that. The point is the matis can do something we can't imagine”

Judah guessed, from what Gin said, he must have met one of them. After all he had 2x battle experience.for sure he had met them. After all, even though you have been told not to finish meeting. But Yuda had a feeling that he would definitely meet them.

No need to ride any vehicle, the location of the photo studio that became Tuyul's territory is right behind the building satay. Though the territory was this close, why did they not eradicate it from, that was what Judah thought when he saw the location of their mission. All the most famous photo studios in the city of Bandung, especially when the time when a campus holds graduation, this photo studio will be full of families of graduates who want to take pictures together.

Although the location is close, Gin as the team leader does not allow walking closer to the location, from afar it has been seen the mastis who they want to fight. You could say their number, quite a lot (Juda noticed Andy's face paled because the number of tuyul that can not be counted).

“their number is about how many?” Andy asked, his face still paled.

“WHAT!” Andy and Yuda could not help their surprise.

“according to their size information manifold apparently” Gin interrupts.

Yuda could not imagine, Tuyul who he always thought would be like. It turns out that their number is very large even the size is diverse.

“excuse” said Andy slowly “whether they can merge into one unity”

Senny raised both of his eyebrows “how are you sure they can be like that”

“I have played the game Dread O*t, fitting tuyul section appears tuyul size gembrot, I suspect they can join” said Andy.

Suddenly Rio laughed “quietly, they wouldn't be like that anyway. They just have a hobby of Maling”

“kuman their leader is indeed sized gembrot sih” Gin admitted it

Gin gave the Tablet to Senny so that everyone could see, a black and white photo studio floor plan, but there were some orange red dots like body temperature, which means red twitch, and there were some red dots, Yuda immediately glanced at the sky, not disguised by the dark sky. But he could see there was a moving object like a drone.

Gin explained that it is a special drone that every operator uses to smart, the drone is made by an engineer in the backup section. Moreover, this drone does not emit sound like drones in general.

From the operator. The leader who measured ‘aga greater’ than other tuyul, berumbang in the printing room, not only that the drone sensor captures the location of the empty gem in the location of the tuyul.

“they keep it” Rio said.

From a distance, a glare way twinkled in one of the studio windows. Already imagined in the minds of the five front line, the tuyul must be taking pictures inside there.

“not keeping it, rather they have fun there” Yuda said.

Even seen one of the tuyul out of the studio while carrying a camera and photographing his friends. They were very enthusiastic, as if there was an impromptu party there. Not just one camera, but more than one camera they carry.

Gin realized something immediately asked his friends to hide, when the flash from the camera that was brought tuyul suddenly highlighted them in a short time, Yuda's heart was racing, he did not realize that one tuyul would shine in this direction, whereas from earlier he always paid attention to his friends, even though it was just a trivial thing, but he could not underestimate it.

 It's safe, Gin gave them the code. Yuda could finally breathe a sigh of relief, if he and his team mates were immediately stunned by the danger, would not be happy to be attacked dozens of tuyul in a short time.

“tadi it was almost” Senny let out a long sigh.

“it camera that directly print Yuda's results.

Gin nodded “right, if only I had realized too late, we would have been straight to”

Judah must learn from Gin. This young man is very good at reading situations, probably because of past experience so he has learned a lot.

“How now?” Ask Senny.

Gin thought of an idea, he asked Rio with Launcher to shoot towards the front entrance of the studio.

“hei Gin, you want to throw an extra party by blowing up studio” Andy started joking.

“just that, we will join in besta” said Gin.

Gin's plan, he wanted Rio to shoot the Launcher in the direction of the front entrance or the surroundings, but he must not shoot in one place directly, or his position will not be obeyed. If there can be a time span for each shot.

“so, I bait nih?” Rio's already smiling.

“of course you bait, with the sound of an explosion surely the kingbrot will tell some of his children to check” Gin glanced at Senny, Andy and Yuda “as long as the tuyul-tuyul looking for the source of the explosion, and, we're going in through the side door.

“but we have a problem” Yuda revealed “ada some tuyul on the second floor of the studio, especially from the guide I read, to the tuyul leader always reluctant to leave his place”

Gin thought for a moment and got another idea.

“does anyone bring money?” said Gin while offering his bare hands like he was going to be lazy.

“haaaaaa, hey Gin where there is a stall that is open in this condition” Senny is shocked by Gin's behavior.

“iiihhh where there is, I just need money aja. 50 thousand or 100an lah”

Each of them on reaching into his pocket. Andy was the first to pull out 50s.

“I have a sheet, previously wanted me to eat at warteg” Andy handed the money to Gin.

This time Rio had two sheets of 100 thousand. Senny and Gin alone were 50 thousand each. If Yuda he only has two pieces of 20 thousand, but Gin directly while without permission. Everyone was at a loss for Gin to suddenly become a rogue thug at a time like this. Judah watched as Gin folded the banknotes to form a small triangle the size of a samosa chip realized that this was in part of his plan.

“tuyul-tuyul likes money yes, although the leader will not leave his position. But when it comes to money he will immediately stand right?” Ask Yuda.

“ak” Gin nods “though it won't last long, but at least enough to divert them”

Finished folding money. Gin distributed the silencers to Senny and Andy. The two of them will clean up the tuyul on the second floor, while Gin and Judah will take care of the leader.

“if this plan fails?” Ask Andy.

“we blasted the studio with grenade” Gin said that coldly as he showed off the grenade to everyone.[]
