Chapter 18: Declaration 9
Naomi’s POV
“Princess, our target was guarded by 20 A-Ranked, 9 S-Ranked, and 1 SS-Ranked Esper.” Rekka reported to me the number of guards that were guarding the facility below me.
‘Hmm, there is a lot more guard than Japan’s HQ. Well, it’s a school for that program after all.’
The reason why I had attacked this school was that I want to be the first one to attend it. I heard they need 1 year to build this school, so if I destroyed it, wouldn’t their program be halted for a year? But, right now I am Mugetsu, a Secret Organization Boss. That’s why I need to answer my subordinate as a fearless boss should.
“Why? Are you afraid of them?” I smirked secretly under my mask.
“Don’t joke around Princess. There is no way I am afraid with those guys.” Said Rekka. I see, he is not afraid of them.
‘Maybe he wants to have an Esper battle like me? Well, after I had done my first attack I will let him.’
“Then, shall we announce our arrival with a present?” I tried to find the nearest asteroid in space. I expanded my Telekinesis and sense an asteroid 5 meters in diameter near the solar system. I stretch my hand in the direction of the asteroid and use my Telekinesis to pull it to earth. After locking the asteroid, I swing my hand down to control it to this place.
Rekka saw my action looking at me puzzled and ask me.
“Princess, what are you doing?”
“I pick a present for them to announce our arrival.” I said to Rekka.
Because I was curious about the guard's reaction, I adjust my ears to hear better. I eavesdropped on their conversation and found it funny. One of them asking for reinforcement, some of them were scared after they saw me.
‘What am I in their eyes? A monster?’
Because the asteroid that I bring down to earth still was small, I expected the guards to be able to defend against it. I sense the asteroid, turning into a meteor around 2 meters in diameter arrived. So I decided to see their reaction to defend against it.
First I saw Rekka looking at the meteor dumfounded.
‘I bet he didn’t expect a meteor as my present for the guards didn’t he?’
After being satisfied with Rekka’s reaction, I saw the guard's reaction this time. From Hyun-Woo’s information, there was at least 5 Esper with ability focused on defense in each team with a captain. So I expected them to put on the guard at this time.
But, contrary to my expectation they were groveling on the ground. Some of them tearing up and some of them begged God to save them.
‘Hmm? It’s just 2 meter meteor, isn’t they going to put on a barrier to defend against it? They will die if they didn’t put on a barrier, are they stupid?’
Because I was confused, I decided to ask Rekka.
“Rekka, why aren't they putting up a barrier?” Rekka looked at me with shock on his face.
“Princess, they weren’t putting a barrier because they can’t stop it even if they are trying. Isn’t that your aim? To obliterate them in one go? Maybe they will survive if their SS-Ranked Esper’s ability was barrier like Hyun-Woo.” Explained Rekka. Does he think I want to destroy them in one attack? What a joke, my plan is to have an epic battle between Esper. That’s why I asked Chi to record it and buy that thing.
“Is that so? They were so weak. I thought that 5 A-Ranked or S-Ranked Esper with ability focused on defense could stop 2 meter meteor. Haa-” I sighed because I was disappointed with the guards.
“Not everyone is like you, Princess. You are special.” Rekka smiled as he said that.
Did he compliment me? What a scary guy, he almost made me smiled.
“Well look, the meteor almost hit them.” As I said that, the meteor passed us and collided with the school.
The impact from the collision was bigger than I thought, it completely obliterated the school and the area near the school resulting in a crater being formed. After a while, the generated shockwave and the sound from the impact reached us and the other residents on the island. In an instant, the island was filled with screams of terror.
‘Well, maybe a meteor is too much. Let’s take a note at that and don’t bring down a meteor unless my enemy is strong.’
“Our objective was complete, but we didn’t announce our arrival yet. What do we do Rekka?” I asked Rekka that stood behind me and shaking his head.
“There is no other choice but to go back to the base. Our objective was completed after all.“ Suggested Rekka.
“Hmm, let’s make sure that our objective was done. There is nothing wrong with being cautious.” I controlled my Telekinesis to bring us to the ground. Reaching the ground, I found 1 survivor from the blast. He was the one that gave the order to the other guards earlier, the captain of the guards.
“Look Rekka, I found 1 survivor. I’ll leave him to you.” I called Rekka and he came forward to deal with the captain of the guards.
Seeing us getting closer, he was frightened and tried to crawl back to the ground. What a pathetic display, was Esper Association’s guard only at this level? At least Mifuyu that had visited my home a few days ago look stronger than him, and she was A-Ranked.
“Leave it to me, Princess!” Rekka stepped forward and summoned a ball of fire above his palm. He has a smile on his face making him look like a villain. “Now, you better spill out all information that you know before I roast you alive!”
‘I asked you to take care of him, but why’d you interrogated him instead? He won’t know anything!!’
I decided to look around the crater to find another survivor but I didn’t found any. After a while, Rekka had done interrogating him and came to me.
“He doesn’t know anything Princess, it seems we need to wait for the information gathered by Chi.”
“Is that so, then let’s leave this place.”
“Certainl- Princess it seems we have a guest.” Right after he said that 2 figures of people appeared from thin air. They appeared around 10 meters above the crater and landed on the ground.
I guessed one of them had the ability to teleport, but that’s not important right now. Because I recognized one figure that appears from the thin air.
‘I see, so my guess is true.’ I had a grin under my mask. ‘What a development!!’ I was overjoyed by the development.
“Stop right there!!” One of the figures that just appeared shouted at me. I recognize her.
“And if I don’t?” I will play with you because I know you.
“I will stop you either way because you are a danger!” Her long silver hair danced in the dark of the night. She stood in front of me without fear on her face.
“I see, then try to stop me! I hope you gave me a little bit of fight.”
The person that made me interested. The person that made me enjoy her company. And now she is the person that tried to stop me.
Mischa Belyaeva stood in front of me with conviction to stop me.
“I will defeat you here!!”
