"Now, let's talk about your new mission to the Dark Continent."
The Director's blond-haired assistant places 4 silver tablets on the wooden desk in front of us with a loud thud, exclaiming that our mission to the Dark Continent is about to begin.
The corners of my lips begin to curl upwards and I whisper under my breath.
"Finally."
Both Abby and Maria look up at the tall thin woman behind the desk with wide eyes. The sun shines in from behind her showing off the beautiful city and high mountains in the distance a few kilometers away.
If I squint hard enough, I can make out the place where we took out C-Class exams.
Leo smirks, pulls out a small silver gadget from his right cloak pocket, and begins to play with it. He's seemingly uninterested in the conversation, but I know he's listening.
Arie's jaw is clenched and his foot makes a light tapping sound on the hard white marble flooring.
He's nervous, or... maybe excited just like me.
The Director's assistant continues, pointing down at the desk.
"Each of you, take one of these transmission tablets. They've been made especially for your duties this week. Each of the cornerstones connects to one of the other tablets. It doesn't matter the distance, you'll be able to talk to each other at any time. They can even be used in dungeons if one of the other tablets is outside."
She turns to Leo and he nods, speaking up.
"It takes a lot of raw dungeon materials to make one of those, so be careful with them. They're not easily replaceable. All 4 connect to the Director's main tablet, so he can call at any time. I doubt he will though..."
The silver-haired artificer lets out a chuckle as he watches the 4 of us stand up and begin examining the rectangular objects.
The one I pick up feels identical to the tablet I held in the labyrinth with Fisher not too long ago. It seems like they give these out to all Elite quads and higher-ups.
The woman keeps talking.
"Your new weekly quotas have been updated, please hand in your old tablets and they'll be wiped."
I reach into my item box and throw the old silver item on the table without thinking about it much, the others do the same.
Maria turns to me and grins after her blue eyes lift from the screen on her new quota tablet.
"It looks like you handed in your share of the MP crystals before coming in today, my credits just jumped up 5 points!"
I nod, taking a look at my own new and improved transmission tablet.

My eyes dart up and down the odd text for a moment, trying to figure out what exactly this new team task is all about.
The Dungeon clearing part can be inferred pretty easily. Everyone has been mentioning the collapses up north, so clearing a few makes sense, but the specifications are unclear to me.
