nRebellion.

nThis name might be unfamiliar to some people, but for Tsukasa, who had been living in this world for the past 15 years, he was familiar with this organization.

nRebellion is the most infamous crime syndicate in the world, and it is also one of the three major powers of the world.

nEven though there are many crime syndicates in the world, Rebellion is the largest because of its referred Blazer as “the chosen new breed of humans” and referred to all the others as “inferior breed.”

nRebellion’s main goal is to destroy the society that thought Blazers should protect humans and to create their own paradise where the “chosen breed” (Blazers) will rule over the “inferior breed” (non-Blazers).

nWhile they had a goal, in conclusion, they were just terrorists that would attack a small shopping mall to raise their funds.

n“Hey, be quiet! Stop crying!”

n“Gather together! Closely!”

nIn the food court area, a group of terrorists from the Rebellion shouted to a group of women and children gathered together, totaling about 50. Their reason for gathering them was simple, and that was to make them become their hostages.

nNene, Stella, and Shizuku gathered together with the other hostages, sitting on the ground as they talked quietly.

nStill, Shizuku was glad that she didn’t have to face this problem alone, even if the people who accompanied her were two people that gave a bad impression. Nene’s clothing cause was similar to hers and made her fail to give the best impression to her older brother. Stella’s boobs were so huge that it annoyed her.

nShizuku didn’t like the two, but she was so glad that she wasn’t alone in this place.

n“Saikyou-sensei, can you just beat all of them?” Stella asked quietly while feeling confused about why Nene was just sitting with them together. After all, Nene was the current third-ranked Blazer in the KOK A-League. In other words, she was super strong, so wasn’t it better just to beat them all?

nNene only looked at Stella lazily and said, “My control over my magic is bad, and if I use my ability, then all of you will be affected.” She then glanced at the pregnant woman, who became a hostage like everyone else. If she used her power here, the baby on that woman’s stomach wouldn’t be saved.

nWhile Nene could easily defeat all of the terrorists in this place with her magic, her control over magic was terrible.

nIf, for example, Nene used her trademark Noble Art, Jibakujin, a technique that made her able to control gravity power to become heavier, then all the people in this place, whether they were terrorists or hostage, would be affected. She couldn’t control her ability to affect her opponent individually since her control over magic was terrible.

nNene was a famous figure, and one mistake in her career would ruin everything. While she didn’t really care about her reputation or anything since her reputation in the past wasn’t good either, she didn’t want to kill someone meaningless, especially the group of children and women around them.

nIf it was destroying to beat someone, they could leave them to Nene, but if it was to protect someone, then she was helpless.

n“…..” Shizuku and Stella.

nShizuku glanced at Stella and sighed. “It seems that you can only leave this to me.”

nStella was embarrassed, but she didn’t say anything since Shizuku was right since even if her control over magic wasn’t bad if she used her magic, then without a doubt, the terrorists would notice her right away.

nWorst case scenario, the terrorists would massacre everyone in this place.

nStella wouldn’t allow that, so she just left everything to Shizuku.

nWithout a doubt, Shizuku had the best control over magic among the three.

nWhile Shizuku wasn’t as famous as Stella, who was a princess, she was also famous since she came from the family of Great Hero, the Kurogane Family.

nUnlike Ikki, who was known as the Worst One, Shizuku was known as the Lorelei because of her massive amount of magic, water manipulation ability, and precise control over her magic.

nThe plan was simple.

nShizuku was going to use the ability to create a dome of water to protect everyone from the terrorists. Then she would leave the rest to her older brother and Alice since she believed that they would use that chance to beat all the terrorists.

n“That’s great. I don’t need to worry then…” Stella said in relief after she heard Shizuku’s plan before she glanced at Tsukasa, who had disguised himself as one of the members of the terrorist, standing together with them as if they were friends to each other.

nStella knew that as long as Shizuku’s plan was successful, Tsukasa would beat all of them.

nHowever, even though Stella only murmured, Tsukasa heard her words and his lips twitched since this girl had raised a flag.

nThen as expected…

n“Don’t bully my mom!!”

nSuddenly, a boy around the age of a kindergartner rushed toward a gun-toting terrorist that bullied his mother then threw him his ice cream.

n“………..”

nTsukasa let out a long sigh, thinking how stupid this boy was.

nWhile what the boy did was admirable, he needed to see the reality since facing a gun-toting terrorist was simply meaningless action, considering how weak he was.

nStill, if the boy only stood in front of his mother, then the terrorist wouldn’t say much and might only ignore him, but he threw an ice cream toward the terrorist!

nThe terrorist wasn’t a good guy, and of course, he was angry.

n“You little piece of **!

nThe boy was kicked and thrown a few meters away.

nThe mother of the boy quickly tried to protect her son, but the terrorist didn’t care and pointed his rifle toward the two before he shot them.

n*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

nWhen the trigger was pulled, several bullets were instantly shot toward the mother and son.

nHowever, the bullets never reached the mother and son because Stella’s raging flames burned away even the specks of dust of bullets that flew from the muzzle.

n“………..”

nTsukasa’s lips twitched, and he sighed. He thought of helping the two, but who would expect Stella to move faster than him and save the two?

nStella’s identity had been known, but even so, Tsukasa didn’t move and waited patiently until the big fish came.

n‘Not now…’

nTsukasa glanced toward the leader of the group, waiting for him to come since his intuition told him he could get something good from this man.

nAs for Stella, Tsukasa felt that there was no way for a group of weaklings to hurt her, especially when she just burned any bullets that came toward her to dust, so he just waited patiently until his prey came.

nIt might seem that Tsukasa was cold, but he trusted Stella and knew that she would be alright.

nHowever, if something really happened, then…

nTsukasa’s eyes became colder as he stared at the group of terrorists before they turned shocked, mimicking everyone’s reaction and pretending to be their friends again.
