Unspeakable bubbles

Ninomiya Sui spoke logically and clearly, though she was already extremely anxious.

This matter not only involves Suzuran, one of the three major academies, and his partner, but also Masumi and Jack!

If not handled properly...

"Asking a question"

One of the attendees raised his hand, looking puzzled: "There are many strong individuals in Suzuran Academy. Not to mention others, just the two of them, Maekawa Kazuto and Wallis, could kill an A-rank Chaos creature together."

"How did eight students manage to break through?"

"Kotono Ogawa is hiding her true strength. With the support of the other seven people, her mental power has already approached the level of a Chaos Lord!"

Ninomiya Sui's face was grave: "Such a dangerous person must be brought under control immediately; the harm she could cause is far too great."

"Approaching the Chaos Lord?"

Is she human?

How did you pass the entrance exam?

"The strongest people recently... even He Ren can't handle it. There's no one around who can deal with this."

"We must form a team!"

"Hmph, she's only close to a Chaos Lord in terms of mental strength. I don't believe her physical body can rival a Chaos Lord!"

"The standard is for eight people to work together, which leaves a lot of room for maneuver."

"Ask a question!" A woman with long, straight black hair and a blank expression stood up.

"...Ms. Jane Brent, you can speak while seated." Ninomiya Sui's tone became even harsher upon seeing that it was her old rival.

"CEO Ninomiya, there is something I don't understand."

"Say"

Is it really that difficult to predict the movement of aircraft?

Jane Brent said calmly, "The Federation provides substantial support to the Seven Ring Tower. If mystical methods don't work, we still have scientific methods."

"When the time comes, several powerful ranged attackers will join forces to shoot the aircraft down!"

"No! There are still hostages up there!" Ninomiya Sui objected without hesitation.

"CEO Ninomiya, don't you think that compared to the potential consequences, a few hostages are insignificant..."

“Ms. Jane Brent, please be mindful of your identity.”

Ninomiya stared intently at her, his gaze sharp.

"You are an elite of the Seven Rings Tower, a powerful figure who oversees a city. Your duty is to protect the safety of the citizens of the Federation, not to be an executioner!"

"...Hmph, womanly compassion. If something unexpected happens, can you afford the responsibility?"

"Please don't try to change the subject. If you say that, it will make people think that if Kotono Ogawa does something outrageous, I should be responsible."

"Oh, it's been a long time, CEO. Your skills in shirking responsibility have become even more adept."

Jane Brent sat down again and said slowly, "Don't think that just because you're saying this now, you can be uninvolved if something happens later."

"It seems I need to have a serious talk with you about the relationship between rights and obligations..."

"Enough!" a furious voice rang out, and Augustus slammed his hand on the table.

"Ninomiya, Jane, look at yourselves!"

"Is this the time to attack each other? What kind of time is this? We need to figure out a way to solve the problem first!"

Ninomiya Sui frowned, but she could be considered to have taken her old friend's words to heart.

The other one didn't even flinch: "Lord Augustus, I just offered a simple solution, but someone disagreed."

"Okay, then let's talk about the feasibility of your plan."

Augustus may look burly and rough, but he is a man of sharp tongue.

"Shoot down an aircraft from a distance? Have you even thought about it?"

"Kotono Ogawa and the others combined can rival a Chaos Lord in terms of mental strength! Everyone here is a powerful individual. Who can guarantee that they can break through their mental barriers from a distance? Please step forward!"

“If one isn’t enough, then several will do,” Jane Brent retorted.

"Hmm, it seems you haven't improved much over the years, you're still at the bottom of the Fifth Ring Road."

"Join forces? Does the mystical side have the saying 'one plus one equals two'?"

"There must be some secret that we don't yet know about that allows Kotono Ogawa to receive such a great blessing."

"Find out exactly what the level of approaching a Chaos Lord is before you speak, or you'll make a fool of yourself here!"

"you!"

Jane Brent could no longer maintain her icy demeanor; she revealed her anger and embarrassment.

"August, if you can't handle it yourself, don't drag everyone else down with you!"

“Oh, I’ve always been very confident in my abilities.” Augustus clenched his fist, making a ‘crack’ sound.

Surprisingly, no one stood up to disagree with him when his gaze swept across the area.

There's no way around it, this big guy is really formidable.

In terms of raw power, none of the many strong individuals present could defeat him.

"And what about Nakazawa-senpai? Don't tell me that Nakazawa-senpai can't break Ogawa Kotono's mental field," Jane Brunt said angrily.

"Well"

Augustus was speechless for a moment. He paused for a moment before saying, "Then go and call Senior Nakazawa here!"

"..."

"......"

There was a moment of silence in the meeting room, and no one spoke for a while.

They knew Nakazawa Chisa's personality all too well.

Anyone who's foolish enough to call her over at this time would only be asking for trouble.

She seemed so reluctant to attend the annual routine meeting last time, let alone this kind of 'emergency meeting'.

Ninomiya Sui moved her lips. Her personality meant she wasn't as concerned about Chisara as others, but... but the key point...

Chisa Nakazawa is such an unreliable person!

She's someone who only does half the job, a drift queen, and an expert at escalating trouble—that's her.

Ninomiya Sui had no doubt that if Nakazawa Chisa activated her Mystic Eyes, she could definitely shoot down the aircraft.

However, there's a high chance that all the hostages will die and Kotono Ogawa will survive in the future!

Don't doubt it, she's definitely capable of doing something like that!

Even if Nakazawa has to explain in the end, she'll probably just say "What a pain" and make you furious.

"Alright, let's continue our discussion."

My suggestion is...

Before Ninomiya could finish speaking, an arrogant voice rang out.

"Huh, isn't that guy here?"

Then, a tiny figure flew out from the decorative potted plant in the corner.

Section 167, Chapter 166: Compromise

No one asked questions like who you were or how you got into the heavily guarded conference room.

Nearly twenty elites from the Seven Rings Tower attacked together, unleashing a variety of visible and invisible strikes that hit the small creature flying through the air.

"Kuroro hates people who don't know manners."

A vibrant green flower bloomed in the void, enveloping the little fairy and extinguishing all her attacks.

"Chaos Lord!"

Augustus's expression changed instantly. Everyone present was an elite of the mystical side. Could there be any other non-human being besides the Chaos Lord who could so easily withstand all the attacks?

"Ignorant! Just because you encounter an invincible being, you assume it's a Chaos Lord?"

Kuroro wrinkled his nose, looking very unhappy.

"Then who are you?" Ninomiya Sui asked casually.

"Kuroro is Kuroro, you big guy over there. You're just as cunning as Kotono Ogawa. Are you trying to ambush me?"

Seeing that he had been exposed, Augustus roared and leaped at Chrollo.

As a powerful individual specializing in physical enhancement, Augustus was very confident in his fists.

Even when facing super-strong humans, he can hold his own with his fists.

Similarly, even if the opponent is a monster at the level of a Chaos Lord, one will not be defeated immediately.

"Everyone, run!"

Ninomiya Sui was the first to react. Before she could even release her paper puppet, she ran towards the back door.

Although she moved quickly, someone else was still a step ahead of her and approached the door.

Jane Brent was initially hesitant about whether to help Augustus, but after seeing her old rival run away without a word, she had no more reservations.

'Hmph, Ninomiya, as the CEO, you were the first to run away. I'll definitely publicize your glorious deeds afterwards.'

Thinking this, Jane Brent's body became ethereal, and a whirlwind swept through the tightly closed conference room, moving rapidly toward the exit.

"If you guys get away, won't Kuroro be looked down upon by that guy?"

The little fairy glanced at the doorway, where countless thick vines sprouted.

With a muffled groan, Jane Brent's body reappeared in the conference room.
