I was bored so I made a secret organization

Chapter 192: Prelude to War 8

Chapter 192: Prelude to War 8

Whats wrong with that? Ken repeated Naomis question.

He then gritted his teeth, pointed his index finger at Naomi, and yelled at her, Of course thats wrong! You killed a lot of innocent people and asked whats wrong with that?!

Hearing his shout, Naomi was confused.

Innocent people? She asked Ken, I never targeted innocent people. I knew that some innocents died when I attacked some places, but let me tell you clearly.

Naomi looked straight at Kens eyes which were burning in fiery anger.

I have never targeted innocent people directly. If you think that the guards of the Esper Association are innocent people, you are wrong. They are part of the Esper Association, the organization thats currently at war with mine.

War? No, thats not important. What I wanted to ask earlier... Do you feel bad for killing those people?

Naomi wanted to let out a tired sigh. She was here to find Lucilla, but she met a troublesome person instead.

She also couldnt leave him be. He was someone who clearly bore a grudge against her. From what he said, she managed to know why he hated her. It turned out his dad was one of the guards that she killed when she attacked the Avos School for the first time.

She had forgotten about that incident. It happened two years ago.

If he told her that his dad died in that attack, then what? She could do nothing. And he asked if she felt bad for killing those people.

For Naomi, the answer was clear.

No. Let me ask you something back. If you are kidnapped and are about to be turned into a guinea pig by someone. Would you feel bad killing those people? If you didnt kill them, then you will live as their experimental subject.

Ken turned silent at Naomis question. He never expected that question to come from Naomi.

He didnt know how to answer her. If people kidnapped him and were about to turn him into a guinea pig, what would his reaction be?

Would he kill those people?

No, I will not.

But, he would be turned into a guinea pig used to experiment. Would that be okay for him?

No, I dont want that either.

So, what would he do?

Would he subdue the one who kidnapped him? Or he would kill them?

He didnt know.

I

He wanted to say that he wouldnt kill them, but words stuck in his throat.

Naomi snickered when she saw him unable to answer her question.

You are still nave. You dont even know that the world isnt as calm as you think it is. There are a lot of conspiracies hidden beneath the surface. If you dont understand that, dont ask me whether I feel guilty for killing my enemies or not.

Naomi turned around and flew away as she said her part. She was worried about Hotaru appearing with Mischa and made her plan to have fun against the executive go awry.

That was why she didnt stay for too long and flee from Avos Island.

I hope she wont chase me.

***

Ken stayed silent in his place as he watched Naomi fly away from the Avos School.

In his heart, he was relieved that she had flown away without causing much ruckus. But, he was also in trouble because of the word that Naomi left before she flew away.

There are a lot of conspiracies hidden beneath the surface

Her words rang in his head.

What did she mean by that Also, what exactly happened two years ago?

The reason why Ken entered the Avos School was to become strong enough to find Mugetsu, who killed his dad in the attack on Avos School two years ago.

He held a grudge against Mugetsu. Why did she kill a man who only worked as a guard of the Esper Association?

She said that her organization was at war against the Esper Association. But did the guards know about that? Also, when did the war start?

When he thought about it again, he knew nothing.

What is this Ken muttered to himself as he looked down.

He let out a sigh and then raised his head.

As soon as he raised his head, the space in front of him distorted a little, and two girls appeared out of thin air.

Those two were Hotaru and Mischa. As soon as they appeared, Mischa shouted, Naomi!

She then looked around only to find that Naomi had already left. She was late, only a few seconds.

Because she was worried about Naomi, she asked Hotaru to get her, and now they teleported here.

However, she was still too late.

Sigh Mischa let out a sigh as she tried to find someone that she could ask.

Finally, her gaze stopped at Ken, who stood close to them.

Hey, where is that girl going? Asked Mischa.

Ken was shocked.

Eh?

He couldnt think of anything. Two people suddenly appeared in front of him and hurriedly asked him.

Naomi! Where is that girl? I bet she flew away from here, but tell me the direction that she took!

Mischa misunderstood Kens silence as confusion and made her question clear. She glared at him closely.

Wait, Mischa Belyaeva?

Yeah, I am. So, tell me where Naomi goes, right now! Mischa shouted at Ken. She was still worried about Naomi, so she lost her temper.

She shook Kens shoulder with all her strength. She unconsciously used Adjustment, so she was stronger than a normal person, causing Kens eyes to roll back.

Fortunately, there was someone who could keep her cool.

Mischa, thats enough. You surprised him. Hotaru put her hand on Mischas shoulder and pulled her away from Ken.

Mischa released Kens shoulder and snapped out of her daze, Ah!

Ken collapsed to the ground. He fainted because of the dizziness, and there was foam that appeared on the edge of his mouth.

She then looked at Ken worriedly before turning to Hotaru.

Umm, did I She didnt even need to finish her sentence as she saw Hotaru shaking her head.

Lets go back for now. I believe Melaine and the others had begun to find Naomi. Hotaru pulled out her holo phone and showed a message that she got from Melaine to Mischa.

The message was about an urgent meeting in the new base, and Mischa was invited to the meeting too.

Uh, Im sorry I lost my cool. Mischa apologized to Hotaru.

Well, that doesnt matter. I know you are worried about Naomi; I was worried about her too. But, Mischa we learned one thing from our search for Naomi.

Hotaru paused a little before she said seriously.

We can never find her ourselves.

Ugh! Mischa let out a low groan.

Hotaru had told her a bitter truth.

They had never managed to find Naomi by themselves.

W-well Lets go to that meeting then. Melaine told me to come to the meeting Maybe she knew something?

Thats possible. Although I hate to admit it Naomi trusted her the most.

Well, thats true. Then lets go. We should get to that meeting as fast as we can.

Right.

Hotaru put her hand on Mischas shoulder, and then both of them disappeared from Avos School.
