Aftermath of Fear

Outside the academy, Harry Sack's lips twitched uncontrollably as he listened to the deafening explosions. He had no idea how to answer the questions from the squad members who were pressing him about what kind of battle their captain was engaged in.

He decided to act like a rogue, saying that anyone who wanted to go in and watch the battle could, but only if they defeated him, the captain of the manager team.

Despite Harry Sack's carefree and nonchalant demeanor, no one dares to provoke him; after all, Harry Sack is Captain-level fighter.

Inside the Thorn Colosseum, seeing Tsuna trying his best to stop his companions' attack, Sullivan stopped her breakthrough. At least for now, she didn't intend to cause Tsuna any trouble.

A little further up in the sky, Bruno and Roy rode together on a flying dragon.

Because Uryū had previously fought Bruno in the air while riding on Hirenkyaku, Roy was in the air when he used the Antithesis to switch places with Roy.

Roy, who didn't have time to call for his dragon companion, was thankfully saved from falling by Bruno.

Hearing the deafening explosion, even the most oblivious person wouldn't dare to interfere with Tsuna and the others at this moment. After all, they were captains with considerable combat experience.

"If I remember correctly, you were just at the epicenter of the explosion, weren't you?" Bruno's words were like a gentle stab to Roy's chest. "Will you survive?"

Roy rubbed his face, took out his black-rimmed glasses and put them back on. All the madness disappeared, and reason once again took control of his body.

"Perhaps, I'll die." Roy wasn't arrogant enough to think he was invincible. "This time, I owe someone a favor."

"Is Dongfang really that powerful?" Bruno was a little confused. These three people, who didn't look very old, were actually so strong.

"Now is not the time to think about that. I should go and thank them," Roy said. It was Tsuna and Uryū who helped him avoid this disaster, so thanking them was no big deal.

"It's not just about thanking them, it's also about apologizing." Bruno had to admit that when he first met Tsuna and the others, he had indeed underestimated the visitors from the East, which led to the series of events that followed.

Bruno was about to steer the dragon over when he realized that Ichigo and the others weren't finished yet.

The explosions stopped, Tsuna and Uryū perfectly dealt with all the falling red light. But Ichigo was not happy about this, and he raised his Spirit Bow to question them.

"Tsuna, Uryū, why are you stopping me? Are you in cahoots with that black man?"

Seeing the red glow in Ichigo's eyes, and knowing that he was being held back by his emotions, Tsuna and Uryū didn't hold it against Ichigo, which only fueled Ichigo's rebellious spirit.

"Speak up! I'll let you speak!" Ichigo even drew his bowstring, seemingly about to unleash All-Things Exterminator on the two of them.

"The Giant's Hand Chop!"

Chad's voice rang out behind Ichigo. Chad then used the Giant's Right Arm to deliver a chop to the back of Ichigo's neck, knocking Ichigo unsuspecting Chad unconscious.

As Ichigo's Reishi clothing disappeared, Ichigo completely fainted, bringing this episode of Ichigo's rampage to a temporary end.

"Let's stop here for now." Tsuna put away the forest flames, and the Thorn Colosseum was also put away.

Having regained her freedom from the cage, Sullivan put away her sword. The dragonification on her body gradually dissipated, and a black dragon flew out from her back—her companion.

After the incident involving Tsuna and Uryū protecting the academy, Sullivan no longer considered them enemies. She had no interest in approaching them and instead walked towards Little Billy.

"Are these the enemies who invaded London?"

The only one still conscious, Minnie, shook her head immediately upon hearing Sullivan's question. She had witnessed this woman's strength and knew she was not to be trifled with either.

"We were just eating, drinking, and having fun in London..."

Hearing Minnie's pale and weak explanation, Sullivan glared at Little Billy with murderous intent, "Is this how you treat prisoners?"

"Sawada-sensei caught it, it has little to do with me," Little Billy said, spreading his hands.

"At the very least, we should knock her unconscious!"

Sullivan swung his scabbard, knocking Minnie unconscious amidst her terrified gaze. He then looked at Tsuna and asked, "How do you know these powerful Easterners?"

Little Billy immediately realized that Sullivan hadn't been paying attention during his last meeting. And rightly so, only after witnessing Tsuna and the others' strength could he have captured Sullivan's attention.

"It all started with my subordinate..." Little Billy patiently explained to Sullivan how he met Tsuna.

Meanwhile, on Tsuna's side, after Chad carried the unconscious Ichigo on his shoulder, Bruno also flew over on his dragon.

"Thank you all very much for your help. Also, I apologize for my previous rudeness." Roy waved and bowed very politely.

"And me, sorry." Bruno wasn't as formal as Roy, but he still made his stance clear.

"It's alright, I provoked you on purpose. Just don't hold it against me. We can spar together another day."

Tsuna finished speaking, Bruno immediately chimed in, "Of course, please be sure to spar with me!"

Bruno had a look of pure delight on his face. Both the Uryū's attack and Tsuna's moves gave him a lot of inspiration, and he might be able to create some more amazing magic.

"I'll pass. This time it still makes me a little scared," Roy shook his head and refused. He almost lost his life, and it happened during a trivial sparring match.

Thinking about this, Roy still felt a little scared. At the very least, he had no interest in fighting or sparring with these people from the East.

"Excuse me, does Ichigo's condition require any further treatment?" Uryū asked Roy. Ichigo's condition was clearly an emotional outburst, not an external injury, and neither he nor Tsuna knew how to handle it.

"It's alright, just a slight emotional fluctuation. He'll be fine after a nap at Maria Hospital," Roy explained. "That's where our WB Holy Affairs Team work; the staff are very professional, so you can rest assured."

"Let's do it this way. By the way, could you please take those Quincy back with you?" Tsuna led the two captains to Little Billy's side.

"They are Quincy. We've been chasing them all the way from the east, and we just happened to catch a few today. I suspect their organization is hiding in the shadows of London, plotting something sinister." Tsuna said, pointing to several female members of the group. "Could you please detain them for now? We'll interrogate them tomorrow."

"No problem, we're professionals at this!" Bruno agreed immediately. They'd been searching for the Fairy Tale Dragon for quite some time without success, so taking down a few Quincy first wasn't a bad idea.

"Should we handle the interrogation?" Roy asked.

"I think we can hand it over to the Joka Squad; they can make the criminals confess to any evil deeds their ancestors committed," Bruno suggested.

Recalling Ichigo's previous state, Tsuna asked, "Self-repentance?"

"Yes, in London, our Joka Squad is also in charge of prison management," Roy readily admitted.

"So you've got a knack for imprisoning criminals too?"

Tsuna removed the handcuffs and shackles from Minnie and Giselle. Only the two of them were still in normal physical condition and needed additional restraints; the others had all passed out.

As soon as they regained their freedom, Minnie and Giselle immediately unleashed their Hirenkyaku and fled. Roy smiled slightly; he knew that Sawada Tsunayoshi was testing his abilities.

With her palm open, another spellbook appeared, and a torrent of words burst forth from it, binding Minnie and Giselle tightly like Chains.

Minnie and Giselle immediately unleashed the power of their Vollständig, but before they could even fight, they heard a melodious poem, and instantly entered a distorted world, becoming dazed and confused, just like Ichigo before them.

"That cockroach-headed guy is a fake girl. Be careful not to get his blood on you, and don't let him get yours on you either," Tsuna specifically mentioned Giselle.

Roy quickly changed his spellcasting state, mimicking Tsuna's previous actions, and used the spell to bind Giselle tightly, even going so far as to not expose a single nostril.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Captain Roy. Let's exchange contact information, and we'll get back to you when we're free to go over tomorrow."

Tsuna and the others took out their phones and exchanged contact information with Roy and Bruno. Seeing this, Sullivan silently took out his phone as well.

"That wasn't your full strength, was it? Let's find some time to Shin'uchi; I'll arrange the venue."

Upon hearing Sullivan's words, Uryū and Chad both showed expressions of shock. What kind of ignorance would give someone the courage to say such a thing?

Tsuna. There was no reason for someone to deliver information to your door.

"I'll be in London this week, so please find a suitable venue, Captain Sullivan. Just contact me when you're free."

Sullivan nodded; she was more interested in the battle with Tsuna than in the Quincy prisoners.

"Regarding the Quincy matter, please have Mr. Little Billy and Captain Roy discuss it. This will be helpful for their interrogation," Tsuna said to Little Billy.

"No problem. I was already preparing the relevant meeting agenda, but I didn't expect you to have caught the relevant person in half a day." Little Billy stubbed out his cigarette. "I think there will be an emergency meeting at the Corner Tip tonight."

The Corner Tip is the highest governing body of the WB, equivalent to the Gotei 13 of the Seireitei, and the Corner Tip Council is equivalent to the Council of Captains.

"Then I'll leave it to you all. We'll take Ichigo to Maria Hospital right away," Tsuna said.

"Come on up, it's your first time in London, I'll take you straight there," Bruno said enthusiastically, gesturing to his companion Rickenbacker.

"Riding a dragon?" Uryū, looking at Tsuna with interest.

"Bruno for your kindness, Captain Bruno." Tsuna took the lead and jumped onto Rickenbacker's back. Having witnessed Tsuna's strength, Rickenbacker didn't dare to move.

Just as Bruno and the others were about to take off, Tsuna turned back and shouted to Roy, "By the way, Captain Roy, don't kill those Quincy. Keep them alive; I still have a use for them."
