TEASER CHAPTER 6 PART 13
While
everyone at the school, including the teachers, were enjoying the peace and
quiet of lunchtime, Jihad and Inda were busy with their work in the office.
"Then,
the Abyss Grief from the other day is completely dead?"
"Yes,
according to Torgrain's report, the corpse of the demon beast has stopped all
biological activities, including magic elements and Qi, and its body has
crumbled into ashes. It was probably caused by the fact that it had used up all
the sources it possessed."
Jihad
listened to Inda's report as he indulged himself in reading the thick document
in his hands.
What
he was looking through was the report about the interference experiment
conducted yesterday against a demon beast.
Since
the demon beast was thought to be involved in the great invasion of ten years
ago, not only researchers but also important people from Arcazam were present
at the place where the experiment was conducted.
In
the middle of the experiment, the Abyss Grief suddenly came back to life. The
site almost fell into a state of panic at one point, but thanks to the efforts
of Jihad and the soldiers, the situation was quickly brought under control.
"...What
is the condition of the injured soldier?"
One
of the soldiers who had taken a stand to prevent the Abyss Grief from escaping
during the battle was injured, and the injuries were not light.
Jihad
must have been worried about that soldier.
His
usual fearless expression remained, but the way he looked away from his papers
and waited patiently for Inda's words showed how much he was worried about his
subordinate.
"The
injured soldier was immediately treated with recovery magic and the wound was
closed, so it is not serious. He will be able to return to his duties around
noon today."
Inda
answered Jihad's question with a smile on her face.
Even
though she usually maintained a cold attitude, she must be genuinely happy that
there were no casualties. Jihad could sense a slightly happy atmosphere in her
every word.
"I
see... I want you to tell the injured soldiers not to push themselves too hard.
Also, just in case, tell them to seek medical treatment immediately if they
feel any discomfort."
"Understood."
Jihad
let out a sigh of relief at Inda's words.
However,
he immediately tightened his face, a tense atmosphere filling the office again.
Inda,
who sensed the atmosphere, tightened her mouth and changed her expression.
"How
are the people from the other countries?"
"There
were a few of them who fell and were injured during the evacuation, but they
only had minor injuries and there was nothing wrong with them. However, this
matter will definitely reach those countries."
The
council members elected from each country in this city also serve as
ambassadors for their respective countries. As Inda said, the recent incident
will definitely be passed on to the leaders and upper echelons of their
respective countries.
