Chapter 85
Bam
The door slammed shut as if to make it known to everyone in the room .
Noah ignored this obvious attempt to scare him . He looked at the two other individuals aside from him .
1 male and 1 female .
The one that got his attention the most would be the pale-skinned lady sitting on the expensive-looking sofa .
She looked about the same age as Noah, maybe 1 or 2 years younger even .
She had a fancy white dress that looked like she’s wearing a bridal gown . She also had a sunhat that had white flowers as decorations . Her overall appearance easily attracted everyone’s eyes to her .
Porcelain-white skin, slightly curled hair that reaches her shoulder, and perfect facial structure, it’s as though some painter took a long time to come up with this beautiful design . Noah reckons that nobody could ignore her even if they wanted to .
Noah narrowed his eyes at this beautiful girl who is as fair as the snow .
Seitenshi
It’s not the lady’s real name .
It’s a designation passed down like an inheritance to people who are occupying the same office as her .
10 years ago, amidst the threat posed by Gastrea, Japan was split into 5 areas .
This young lady who is about the same as Noah governs the Tokyo area where Noah is currently operating in .
The other male is someone who looked like he is way past the age of 70 . He had a stern expression and a firm posture that supported his fit build . He wore a white haori and a pair of hakama . This man is in charge as an aide to Seitenshi, he holds considerable political influence as a result of this position, Tendou Kikunojou .
These 2 people are the individuals with the strongest political powers in Tokyo area .
Noah subconsciously scanned the two of them who each had considerable control over the political sphere in Tokyo before he approached them .
Looks like they were waiting for Noah to approach . Seitenshi greeted him first .
“Pleasure to make your acquaintance, guildmaster of Fairy Tail, Dreyar-san . ”
“The feeling’s mutual . ”
Noah said in a curt manner . He diverted his attention towards Tendou Kikunojou .
“But, I can’t say the same for this one over here . ”
The mood fell to freezing point . Kikunojou stared back at Noah, their gazes look like it could generate sparks any moment now .
Noah had already met Kikunojou on multiple occasions .
Fairy Tail was built in the Outer regions of Tokyo Area, an organization founded by Noah that changed the tragic lives of many cursed children, a sanctuary for those who are persecuted in an unjust manner by the world .
This old man who looked as upright as he is uptight is someone who Fairy Tail will never get along with .
Ten years ago, the Gastrea War brought humanity to its knees .
Some 8 billion humans were curled down to a tenth of the original population . One can only imagine how many friends and families were lost to the Gastrea .
Those who lived to tell the tale knew just how terrifying the creatures are, the loved ones they took from them . It is only natural that these survivors would come to hate anything Gastrea, the cursed children are probably abominations in their eyes and these survivors are to a greater or lesser extent, discriminatory towards the treatment of these cursed children .
Kikunojou belonged to the Deprived generation .
His wife died at the hands of the Gastrea .
He absolutely loathes Gastrea and cursed children . Needless to say, this guy hates Noah for gathering and protecting so many cursed children, he also didn’t like Fairy Tail .
In one year, Fairy Tail encountered multiple attempts to destroy it through illicit or underhanded means .
Maybe the incidents were in some ways related to Kikunojou . Regardless, Noah had grown from being surprised by the devious plots to adapting to them and retaliating against his aggressors .
Tendou Kikunojou didn’t want Noah’s life, but if it meant destroying Fairy Tail, he would resort to murdering Noah .
Noah didn’t hate Kikunojou .
However, he has a lot to say about his discriminatory practices and his attempts that placed cursed children at risk of death . Given the chance, Noah would not hesitate to sabotage Kikunojou .
They aren’t old colleagues, they are more like nemesis .
“I would like to praise Noah-san for solidifying Fairy Tail’s foundation in just a year . ”
Seitenshi who more or less knew about their grievances sought to change the subject .
“Presently, the other 4 areas aside from Tokyo Area has heard about Fairy Tail . They are even rumors of cursed children braving grave perils to reach Fairy Tail through traversing the unexplored areas . This is news I find most surprising . ”
“Yeah?”
Noah knew what Seitenshi is doing, he called her out .
“I do believe you didn’t call me here just to praise me, isn’t that right?”
“I do have some matters to discuss with you . ”
Noticing that Noah is pressuring her to stop beating around the bush, she gave up trying to veil her intentions .
“Noah-san, I take it that you are aware of Fairy Tail’s impact on all 5 areas of Japan?”
“As of now, Fairy Tail is a familiar name everyone in Japan is aware of . They know it’s an organization for the cursed children and an organization which seeks to integrate cursed children into society sans the discrimination in hopes of them living a normal life . ”
Tendou Kikunojou supplemented .
“The news of your organization has even breached international borders . Countless Cursed Children are responding to this . ”
“Oh?”
Noah replied in a plain tone .
“And? What of it?”
“Noah-san”
Seitenshi used an emotionless expression to continue .
“Have the International Initiator Supervising Organization been in contact with you, multiple times for that matter?”
Noah didn’t say anything to deny it .
IISO, its acronym is an organization that manages and pairs up initiators (the brawn) and the promoters (the brain) .
“Noah-san your increasing intake of cursed children is impeding the work of IISO . ”
Seitenshi said in a stern tone .
“Rather, your actions are posing a threat to this world . ”
