[Rumble!]
When Jiwei and Aite appeared in the center of the large Flying Thunder God Formation Diagram,
before they could react,
they saw a pale blue glow light up the horizon, followed by the sound of explosions.
This immediately put Aite, "Watchdog Man," on alert.
"What's going on? An enemy attack?" Jiwei looked toward the nearby researchers.
One of them replied, "More or less. A Demon-level and three Tiger-level monsters approached this place. Director Minato has already gone to deal with them."
He then followed Minato Namikaze's earlier example and explained the Monster Association's classifications to Jiwei.
"Alright, let's go!"
Jiwei immediately left the clearing with Aite, intending to help Minato Namikaze.
To his surprise, by the time they reached the scene several kilometers away, Minato Namikaze had already defeated the monsters.
He was currently crouching there, placing a Five Elements Seal on Tanktop Vegetarian's abdomen.
As the seal took effect,
his enormous body, enlarged by monsterification, visibly shrank and returned to a normal human form.
"Oh, Jiwei and Aite!"
Minato Namikaze noticed the movement, turned around, and broke into a bright smile upon seeing familiar faces.
Jiwei walked over and examined the unconscious four. "Did you take care of all of them by yourself?"
"Yeah, but unfortunately, none of them were very strong. They just had tough bodies, no particularly troublesome abilities, and rather average combat intelligence."
Minato Namikaze looked regretful.
He would have preferred to encounter an evenly matched opponent who could force him to go all out.
Of course, that was not the right way to think, so he could not say it aloud.
"R-right, then we'll be going." Jiwei did not know what else to say.
At the same time, he thought to himself, The researchers at the Academy of Sciences can't be underestimated either.
