Chapter 452: First day of work.

After he had completed renovating his house, Blake now had enough time to do other things especially reading and learning all the information that was sent to him by the ash corps.

Today was his first day at work and he was currently in a carriage that was making its way into the central region where the only ash corps building for the city was located.

‘Although I have interacted with the ash corps countless times in the last 2 years, I have never been here.’ Blake thought as he saw the plain design of the building.

The ash corps building was a plain square building covering 2 million square feet of land. It was ash in color and had 7 floors, 3 below and 4 above the ground floor.

Blake walked into the building and took an elevator to the top floor before opening the manual sent to him by the ash corps.

It contained the map of the square ash building which gave directions to important parts of the building.

Each floor had 3 layers, and because the building was so large, they had to move around on a platform or teleport to certain key points.

.....

Knock! Knock!

“Come in!”

With permission granted, Blake entered the general’s office. Sitting at the far end of the room was the heart-shaped face and the ever-smiling Darius.

The entire wall behind him was a screen that shuffled between live feeds of the parts of the forest, while to the right side of the room was a large table screen for planning.

On the left side of the room was a 3-seater couch and a table with flowers on it.

“Reporting for duty sir!” Blake saluted.

“It’s been years since I saw you in person.” General Darius said as he got up from his chair.

“Thank you for joining the ash corps, your talent would make a huge impact in the force.” Darius shook his hand before returning to his seat.

“Recently promoted ash corps as well as recruits would be assigned to your team. You all would be on probation and depending on your performances in missions to come, you all would become an official unit.” Darius explained.

‘I know that this job is teamwork oriented, but I hope that the uselessness of certain individuals wouldn’t be overlooked.’ Blake thought.

Darius went on to explain the job of the special ops unit, which Blake had already read in the manual sent to him.

“Unlike the normal force that carries out investigations, clean-ups and so on. The special ops are always sent to where the action is.”

“From gang and illegal activity crackdowns to hostage situations, beast-related issues to even problems of other cities.” Darius explained, but it was at that moment that a knock on the door was heard.

“Come in.” Darius said.

“Sir, the gathering of information at the gang war scene has been concluded. The only things we were able to recover were 24 corpses.” Ashley who entered the room reported.

‘Are my eyes playing tricks on me or is that Blake in uniform? The winner of the regional competition and the adventurer with the 100% mission success rate?’ Ashely was shocked but still kept her composure.

“Captain Blake what do you think about the report?” General Darius asked.

“From my knowledge and the little information given, it is clear that the 24 corpses that were found at the crime scene are all from the same gang.”

“Also, from the number of deaths, I think it is a gang wipeout because gangs don’t leave the bodies of their fellow members after a fight because they see every member as family.” Blake explained.

“So how do you suggest we track them down?” Darius asked.

“I will need more information on the case before I will be able to make any further moves.” Blake said.

“Alright then, hand over the investigation and execution of the case to captain Blake and his team. Also, introduce him to the newly formed special ops team.” General Darius instructed.

After checking Blake’s record of both his life as a student and an adventurer, he had planned on using Blake’s full potential even though he was in another field.

“Dismissed!” With that, Blake and Ashley left the office before teleporting to the general office located on the 3rd floor to find out the office assigned to him.

Once it had been confirmed, they teleported back to the 4th floor and got on the moving platform to get to their destination.

“Here is your office.” Ashley said as she opened the door that had his name on it.

The office could fit up to 10 people at a time, but it was very generic. Blake could swear that the wooden desk, chair, 3 seater couch, table and their positions were no different from the ones in other offices.

The only differences were the names and numbers on the doors, but Blake didn’t care that much about it.

“Your team has been notified about your arrival and they are currently making their way here.

Since all special ops were on the same floor, it took them less than 5 minutes to reach his office.

“10?” Blake couldn’t help but ask as he watched 10 people dressed in uniforms walk into the room.

He preferred going solo and had prepared himself for 4 extra people just like his days in the magic school, but 10 was another story together.

“Yes. A year ago, the corp had changed the number of members in a unit because 5-man formations were becoming ineffective and putting the lives of the special ops in danger.” Ashley explained.

‘At least it is better than having 60 under me.’ Blake thought.

Although Blake controlled fewer people, he was happy that he was still at the same rank as those who controlled up to 60 ash corps.
