Neva : This is Bennor. He manages the black corps. You can tell him about anything you need.

Nana : alright. Good.

Bennor : lady.

Nana : Miss.

Bennor : understood.

" I'll leave you two." Neva leaves.

Nana : there's a kid I want you to train. Marie.

Marie comes over " hi ! I'm Marie."

Bennor ; to be an assassin?

Nana : Everything. How to fight. How to defend. How to sneak around. How to... Kill.

Bennor ; she's a little kid. Miss.

Nana : she has the potential for it. Don't actually, let her kill anyone. Just the skills. Understand?

Bennor ; understood.

Nana : one more. You can teach her anything. Just no poison. She can learn that if she wants in future.

Bennor; yes miss.

Nana : alright. Marie. Go with Mt Bennor

Marie : yaaay !! I got a new teacher !!

She happily bounces out with her new teacher. Her friends came in.

Grey : any ideas yet ? On where to start.

Esper : I don't have much ideas , but I'm along for the ride.

Amira : I'm sure Nana has some ideas.

Nana : we need information I can't get. But... I know a place we can get it.

Grey ; where ?

Nana : They call themselves Aged Intelligence. They've been there since.... No one knows since when. They have all the information on everything.

Esper: we could have won wars with that.

nana : haha. They don't deal easy. They sometimes deal with anyone and also deal with specific someones.

Grey ; that's a pain in the ass.

Amira : how will we know they'll say yes to us ?

Nana : have to try .

Shadow Demon: nana.

Nana sees the car behind him" Shadow Demon? You don't have to go. It's a simple trip."

Shadow Demon opens the door " I'm your escort"

" Nice to be rich." Grey enters the backseat

Esper : sighs. Sorry about her

Shadow Demon just shakes his head as if saying it's ok.

Then Esper enters the back seat. Amira follows suit " you're kind of our leader now. You have to sit the front."

" Ok... " Nana goes to the front. He opens the door for her as well. She sits in and he closes it. He then closes the backseat door and goes to his driving seat. The car goes off.

__________________________________

The car enters a road portal. One set at the end of the road to be through at the other end, at another far away distance place. The car comes out of the other side of the road portal to continue a long road winding up a mountain.

If one saw form afar, you would understand why. The start of that road portal was on the edge of the cliff. That is the only way in and out of Aged Intelligence Island.

They had reached the top where the building was. It was a grand building indeed. There weren't barriers around the many buildings of this place. It was an island, so the seas and cliffs itself was a natural barrier.

There was no door to speak of. Just an entrance. They walked through that and was greeted by one of the staff.

" Welcome. First time or experienced ? "

Nana : .... First time. But I've heard how it works.

" I see. I'm Shinto. Follow me." He brings them further in. They cross the big space front yard and was led into the shelter.

There sat others too at their own tables and cushioned seats writing something on their piece of paper.

Shinto ; write for what answers you came to get. Then you can slot it in our Question Box.

It was a huge wall full of woodens drawers each with a dedicated number. Take in mind that the ceiling of this huge building would be 5 stories high.

Grey ; Box .

Amira : More like wall.

Shinto : just approach my colleague, Shinra there. He will allocate a number for your paper. If yours were to be answered, we will call for you to negotiate a price. This whole process may take a day to a week.

Grey ; a week ?

Shinto : rest assured, if yours is not to be answered, you'll know within the day.

Esper : I see. Fair enough.

Grey : that scared me.

Shinto : meanwhile, you can have any snacks provided for you.

" Thank you. " and Nana finds a table and seats down. The rest sits around her.

Grey : what are you going to write ?

Amira stood up " I'll go get some food. Not going to disturb you." Esper follows up.

Nana : what answers do I want...

Grey : how to end the war ?

Nana laughed " now even he , won't take my question." She writes something and the folds in " I think this should be ok."

She goes to the attendant of the Question Box. The attendant tags it with a string by tying the paper into a scroll. He then passes her a number tag , the same number he tags the paper with.

He turns around and gives it to his staff. To which the staff sees the tag number, climbs upon the platform and it floats to the correct drawer and the scroll was placed in.

" We will contact you. "

.
.
.

At this point the fate of the scroll travels a different journey. On the other side of the wall were another group of people busy taking the scrolls down from each of the drawers. The scroll would be taken down to someone to copy down the question on the paper. After which the original would be placed back in the original drawer.

The copied piece would then be marked with the number it was being tagged with on the right corner. The left would have today's date. It would then be placed in a cylinder to which it would slide down one of the many tubes towards the lower floor.

Here, here is where most of the administration goes around. The true first level of the Aged Intelligence.

As it reached its destination. A staff picks it up, opens the canister and takes out the scroll. The canister would then be placed aside and the scroll would be delivered to its first view.

The officer writes his comment on the scroll as Nana's one reaches his table. The price was written on the bottom left. He then takes his stamp in the middle with a Lotus Flower emblem. He closes it back and place it in another pile on the red tray.

A staff comes to take the tray of that pile and passes it to another colleague " this one is all approved."

At this same table, the man rolls back the scroll and places it beside him in a pile on the blue tray.

The blue tray was then taken to the row sat in front of him. This row a little more peculiar. They don't deal in monetary terms with the customers. Any answers that are worth more than money can pay. They deal and decide what the payment terms should be. They're called Second View Officers.

Then the First View officer picked up Nana's scroll " this..."

He takes releases the string and reads the question " this...

He stands up and walks past his peer right straight to the one table to sat facing all of the officers " Officer Eren."

Eren looks up " there's rare. Just from first view ? " The officer nods. Eren takes it and opens it " .... Ha. Master would be pleased."

Eren : Master. You should take a look at this.

So his master did. " Hahaha... Who is this ? 235. "

Eren : the customer is Nana Hailarose.

" A Hailarose? You sure ? Those old things are like me. They never meddle with these things."

Eren : this one was a soldier.

" Oh. Then, she I must see. Invite her in. "

Eren ; here ?  Master.

" Yes. Here."
