Chapter 198: Prelude to War 14
While Naomi met with a freak and Hyun-Woo was worried about his safety, Melaines group had done with their clean-up.
Rekka had annihilated the reinforcement by himself, to Mischa and Hotarus amazement. They didnt know that Rekka could amass such power even though he was an SS-Ranked Esper.
Andrew was a league away from Rekka even when they had the same rank.
Mischa and Hotaru were relieved that he hadnt used his full power when he attacked Avos Island at that time. Had he used his full power, maybe Avos Island now would be sitting at the bottom of the sea.
As the situation calmed down, Rekka brushed his hands which were covered in sand. He then smiled.
Its done.
Good job, Rekka. Praised Melaine as she walked toward Rekka and the others. She dragged Andrew, who passed out, by his hair.
G-Good job, Mr. Rekka. added Luna.
They praised Rekka without asking any questions because they knew Rekkas power.
On the other hand, Mischa and Hotaru, who saw Rekkas power for the first time, were still confused. They didnt know what happened and how Rekka could use such strength.
His display of power earlier was greater than even Andrew, who used Doping to increase his strength.
As Hotaru couldnt hold her curiosity, she asked Rekka.
How did you do that?
She was not afraid of him anymore because they were now allies. She had resigned from the Esper Association after she knew the truth, so they had no enmity between them.
Hmm? What do you mean? Asked Rekka back.
He didnt understand her question; it was too broad.
Your ability earlier Its even stronger than that sand guy who had a similar power level to SSS-Ranked Esper after taking the Doping.
Ah, that? Rekka understood the question. Its all a matter of control.
Control? Mischa and Hotaru asked at the same time.
Mischa had heard about it, and so had Hotaru.
They had heard about it from Melaine. As she trained Mischa on Avos Island for a short duration of time, she explained that control was important.
At that time, even now, Mischa didnt understand what Melaine meant by Control.
The thing that Melaine explained to me? Mischa turned to Melaine.
Thats right. Melaine nodded her head. Rekka has trained his control over his ability over two years since he joined Moon of Akasha. Right now, his control over his ability is only second to Lady Naomi.
You flatter me too much, Melaine. Even I can get embarrassed to be praised like that by you, who can use your ability without stopping even a day for 80 years.
Well, I am not an SSS-Ranked Esper for nothing. Something like this is simple.
Mischa nodded her head as she listened to them. She knew that Control over an ability was important, but she didnt know it was that important to the point it could make SS-Ranked Esper's ability as destructive as SSS-Ranked Esper.
Melaine threw Andrew in front of the group. More importantly, lets get back to the base first. She turned to Luna. Can you open the portal for us?
Yes.
A white door that led to the base then opened in front of Luna.
Melaine and the others entered the door as fast as possible as they had finished their business in the desert. Rekka carried Andrew as he was the only man in the group.
Mischa and Hotaru were the first to cross. They appeared in the meeting room, greeted by the serious expression of three people.
Suddenly, they turned to them and beamed smiles.
Shes here! shouted Chi. Our teleporter is here!
The three people then stood up. Mizuki approached Hotaru and grasped her hands. Miss Hotaru, can you do me a favor?
Yes?
Hotaru was dumbfounded while Mischa was looking at Mizuki.
Melaine, Rekka, and Luna then appeared behind Mischa. They were confused by what happened?
Can you go to Mount Everest? Asked Mizuki seriously.
Mount Everest? Umm May I ask why?
Naomi is in that place. Can you go to help her?
Lady Naomi is there? Exclaimed Melaine in surprise.
A look of worry was clear on her face. She bit her finger and clicked her tongue. This is rather bad Hotaru, can you go there? Preferably take Mischa with you this time. Lady Naomi might be in danger.
Eh? Mischa, who was suddenly mentioned, let out a surprised sound. Me?
Yeah. I won't even be able to do anything to that guy. Hes fucking scary to the point I choose to die rather than meet him. Only you can save Lady Naomi in time.
With Melaines words, the others began to get worried. They were curious about that guy that Melaine mentioned.
Why did she say that she couldnt do anything to that guy? Not only that, she even cursed.
Explain, Melaine. Is he someone dangerous that could put Naomi in danger? Asked Mizuki worriedly.
As Naomis mother, she only had a few to be worried about. But, when Melaine said that the guy on Mount Everest was scary, it made her worried about Naomis safety.
SSS-Ranked Esper was scared of one guy to the point she chose to die rather than meet that said guy.
How scary was that guy?
Right now, Melaine was trembling in fear while hugging her body, imagining the danger that Naomi faced.
Hes scary He wont be able to defeat Lady Naomi, but he will certainly be able to put Lady Naomi in danger. So please, Hotaru. Go there with Mischa first. I will follow you as soon as possible when Luna can open her portal again.
Can you at least tell us why that guy is scary? I can provide you with a weapon to stop that guy if you tell me his weakness. Suggested Mizuki.
Seeing that Mizuki wont back down, Melaine then used her ability to give her time to calm herself. After 5 minutes inside a stopped time, she deactivated it and then looked at the curious group.
That guy he can change a persons gender. Thats why Lady Naomi is in danger. She will become Young Master if we cant stop him in time.
Mizuki and the others couldnt say anything to Melaines revelation.
Hotaru was frozen, but then she quickly recovered as Mischa pulled her sleeve. She knew that they needed to move fast to save Naomi before she was turned into a he.
Nodding her head at Mischa, Hotaru then teleported herself and Mischa to the top of Mount Everest without saying goodbye to the others.
Hotaru had visited Mount Everest before in one of her delivery missions for the Esper Association.
As soon as they arrived at Mount Everest, Mischa activated her ability to seal the others ability without wasting a second. They looked around and realized that they were too late.
In front of them lay the bodies of Espers. That much was a normal sight if Naomi was involved. But, there was something strange.
In the middle of those bodies was not the usual girl. Standing there was a boy with black hair and red eyes strangling a man with strange rainbow hair by his throat.
The man was trying to say something but he couldnt.
The boy was glaring at him with a death stare. Then a threatening voice came from the boy.
Hey Turn me back this instant, or I will snap your neck.
