TEASER CHAPTER 6 PART 24
"What are you going to do by targeting Ecross?!"
Camilla
shouted at the unbelievable words Ken had just uttered.
"You
already understand, don't you? What I did before wasn't enough to get rid of
Nozomu. If assaulting the residents of this city isn't enough, then we have to
go after something irreplaceable to this city."
"Is
that why you have to go after the children!?"
Causing
a ruckus in the city was not enough to achieve his goal, so he set his aims on
something more important. This in itself was natural.
However,
if he aimed for important people, then he should have targeted the VIP residing
in the north section.
"Security
in the north section is tighter than in the other sections. Even with your
help, it might be difficult for us to do it alone. There's a lot of
uncertainty."
There
were many VIPs from various countries staying in the administrative district of
the northern section. Ken thought that there may be tighter security measures
in place that he wasn't aware of, and that some of them may be more skilled
than him.
"But
in Ecross there are only children. They're weak, but they're talented and they
have potential. Do you think Jihad-sensei would forgive someone who hurt
them?"
However,
most of the people enrolled in Ecross were young children. They may have
talent, but none of them have the strength to protect themselves.
If
word got out that he had harmed such a fragile being, Nozomu's reputation,
which had recently begun to recover, would surely fall to the ground. He would
be captured by the military police, labeled as a criminal, and sent to a coal
mine or a prison camp somewhere. At the very least, it would be impossible for
him to stay in this school.
Ken's
face distorted in amusement as he dreamed of such a scene.
"You're
lunatic..."
While
gritting her teeth, Camilla shuddered at Ken's murky delusions.
However,
Camilla didn't think that attacking Ecross would be as easy as Ken made it out
to be.
Jihad
and the others involved in the school knew all too well that the children at
Ecross were talented but not yet hatched.
The
dormitory where they live is located near the school, and there is a teacher
who is always there to take care of their daily necessities and mental health.
That
was why she couldn't believe that things would go as easily as Ken said.
"Recently,
I saw some Ecross students going out late at night around the library. I think
it was around here..."
Ken
began scurrying around in Nozomu form.
"Camilla,
wait from a distance. If you make a scene, people will gather. Of course, the
military police will also come. Well, I can definitely get through most of it,
but I'll have to recreate Nozomu's movements as I run, so you'll have to cover
me if necessary."
"Hey,
Ken! Wait!"
