During the Kobold Inquisition attack, info department leaders Raikt and Adriad spotted scout department leader Owari being kidnapped during the chaos. It's believed that the New Age cult used the sudden chaos from the attack to their advantage to take back Owari to their cult, and that Owari was on the site of the attack to arrest the enemy kobolds.
This kidnapping was immediately reported to the Admin Department, however they had held off planning until they themselves had investigated the Kobold Inquisition, to see if they had any ties to the cult.
They came to the conclusion that there were no ties to the cult, and gave the Scout Department the permission to rescue Owari. However, there were no scouts available for the mission, and the other leader was busy with a large-scale operation, thus Horatio had to wait until the next day.
He decided to take the newcomers for the mission.
Owari has been rescued successfully, and without any injury. The newcomers ended up getting new weapons and armor, and as well as introduced to the scout department.
Though, the mission didn't go exactly how it should've. From the newcomer's reports, the base the cult had been using was empty, except for some undead monsters who were stuck roaming the halls. And, from Sandman's official observations, Owari 'had rescued herself, jumping straight into Horatio's arms, and Wen came out of nowhere, used the 'Destruction Wave' spell, and accidentally knocked the newcomers out. The three then had to carry each individual newbie to the infirmary.'
The situation described by Sandman did not fail to bring laughter to the Admin Department, however they still rule the mission as a success nevertheless.
