Chapter 20: Preparation"Hunting mission? Off-sh.o.r.e? Using Ships?!" Dylan can"t believe what he heard. It was one of his dreams, to fight monsters on board a ship!
"I would be more than glad to!" Dylan enthusiastically! He is even smiling while his lips are still wet with the milk he is drinking!
"HAHAHAHA! I can"t hold it! Look at your self Dylan!" Serene who is jolly, laughed at him once again as she rolls around her chair.
Although Dylan can hear the girl wildly laughing at him being childish. He cares less because what runs in his mind right now is the image of himself fighting a sea creature.
Fight me sea creature! haha! he thought.
Inside the room, one can see that there are 4 chairs or couches in front of the desk and a coffee table in the middle. Currently, Serene is occupying one of the couches while Captain Allen is seated on another.
"Listen, Dylan! This is not as easy as you think! Blue Demons are no ordinary creatures, it is a creature from outside the Horizon! This creature is as strong as a newly advanced Commodore! A creature which can destroy a Shark Cla.s.s vessel by itself!" The Captain tried to warn Dylan and convince that it is not a game. Then, he saw the young man still day-dreaming.
He found it annoying as the room is so noisy because of the Girls laughter and the unresponsive Ensign Dylan.
"Well, think of it carefully. Prepare as much as you can, the Rear Admiral expects as to Depart early tomorrow morning, do you hear me?" Expecting a response he stood up and headed for the door. He opened it and turned around to see Dylan not listening to him. He can only sigh and facepalm himself as he can"t do anything.
The Captain left the room and closed the door. Later Dylan noticed that Allen is gone so he looked at Serene on the side.
"Serene, what do you think?" He asked as he believes that Serene knows something about a Blue Demon.
As the girl notice the change in his mood, she stopped laughing and thought of how to respond.
"The Captain is right, if you are going to partic.i.p.ate then you should be careful. A Blue Demon is not really a demonic creature. It is a Mollusk. It is vain of raw power. They have no bones and it has the body that can absorb force.
Speaking strength-wise a fully grown Blue Demon should be given the danger level of C+. But, according to the information it has the danger level of C- which means it is still a child.
It is not only strong but also tough, if I remember Naval weapons are ranked by tiers right? If so, a tier 1 cannon can"t do much against the creature.
I suggest we must prepare."
In the Navy, the Danger level is used to determine the difficulty of the missions. It can also be used to describe the strength of a Creature or of a man. An example of this is Lusha, without the pearl, he is considered F+. So Dylan knows the difference of the strength between the two, Lusha and the Blue Demon.
"Wait, what do you mean "we"?"
"Huh? Are you just gonna leave me here? Hey! Dylan, you are tasked to protect me right? So it is only a given for me to come with you!"
...
Outside the building, the Harbor is busy with preparing. They have to finish the preparation for the departure tomorrow.
"Captain! We are currently loading the ship with enough food but we lack manpower."
Allen turned towards his subordinates and discussed a solution. It was a busy day, 4 Shark cla.s.s ships are preparing for tomorrows departure. Usually, they would be given 4 days before departure but now it is different. The Navy is urgently needed to hunt the monster down before it causes more trouble.
He looked at his ship and observed its splendor.
His ship is big it is a Bark with 3 masts and 2 chimneys. It is a warship that runs by either steam or sail. It can carry over 200 crews. The ship is equipped with 6 tier one Cannon on both sides and 1 tier two Ballistics mounted on the deck. The ship is a Shark cla.s.s warship which can withstand a weather of up to the Danger Level of D-.
The Sun once again rose from the horizon. The Dawn has come, Allen stood on top of the ships main deck and watched the beautiful sea.

A crew member approached him and saluted.
"Sir! The ship is ready for departure!"
Allen nodded and looked at the forecastle where he found Dylan looking at the sails of the boat. He also found Serene sitting beside Dylan.
"ATTENTION! Captain Allen speaking! Men get ready for departure!" Allen stood on the quarter-deck and looked at the dock where the Rear Admirals are except for Dolce.
His crews readied the ship for departure and what is needed.
Ranz who stands in front of the other rear Admirals nodded towards Allen giving the permission to depart. He represents the words of the HQ head himself.
Allen also nodded and commanded the ship crews to open the sails.
"AT SEA! Let us meet the sea and start the hunt!"
