[Teaser] DCO Chapter 7 Part 12

 

 TEASER CHAPTER 7 PART 12




Inside Jihad's office in Solminati Academy, two men and a woman faced each other.

A woman in a white coat and an elderly man in a well-tailored suit. And a dignified, blond, nobleman.

A crystal ball the size of an adult's arm was placed in front of them, and the images of Jihad and Nozomu crossing blades were projected on it.

The two attack each other with unbelievable speed. Each time they swung their blades, the atmosphere screamed and the ground broke.

And then, Jihad's final blow was released.

Nozomu also pulled his katana out of the sheath held at his waist in a single motion.

In the next instant, the image of Nozomu cutting off the extremely thick Qi-blade that was swung towards him, shattering everything in its path, was shown.

 

"I see, it is indeed a strange power. No wonder Jihad-dono is so wary."

 

The Nobleman. Victor rubbed his beard and murmured as if he was convinced.

 

"That's true. Especially his last Qi technique. That is no longer in the realm of student-level techniques."

 

Next to Victor, Haibao Foca, an elderly man who was also looking at the crystal ball image, nodded his head.

His tone was flat, but the sweat on his forehead showed how he felt.

 

"More than that, I'm also impressed by his swordsmanship. Hmmm......"

 

Victor seemed to be interested in Nozomu's swordsmanship as well as his power.

Norn, the woman in a white coat, spoke to him who went silent.

 

"How was it?"

"It is indeed marvelous. I couldn't believe it when I was given this..."

 

Haibao's face broke out in admiration. In his hand was a report about Nozomu, handwritten by Jihad.

The most important thing, that Nozomu is a dragon slayer, was also clearly written in the report. And that he had not fully controlled his power.

 

"So, can you help us regarding this Nozomu Bountis?"

 

When Norn threw in a few words to force a conclusion, Haibao shrugged his shoulders as if he had no choice.

 

"From the beginning, you knew we couldn't say no, didn't you?"

"Yes, otherwise I would not have shown you these images."

 

Yes. After being shown that much, they had no other choice but to cooperate.

It was impossible to ignore it, and it was out of the question to eliminate it by force.

While confirming Nozomu's power, Jihad would show them how Nozomu fought and urged them to cooperate with him.

And while showing them Nozomu's power, Jihad also needed to show them the fact that only he could fight against Nozomu.

Jihad had planned it from the beginning, so he decided that it would be fine even without him being here.

 

"Very well. As the chairman of the Arcazam Council, I will assist you as much as I can. However, it would be better not to leak this information. I will discuss the details directly with Jihad-dono at a later date."

 

Hearing these words, Norn smiled with satisfaction.

 

"Thank you, Haibao-dono. How about you, Victor-dono?"

 

Norn also asked Victor, who had been silent for some time, for an answer.

However, Victor was staring at the crystal ball with squinted eyes, as if there was something stuck in his mind.

There was an image of Irisdina sitting on the ground and offering her hand to help Nozomu, who was being treated.
