Although the assassination attempt by the cherry-haired girl failed under the tight protection of Kevin, who had already become a Flame-Chaser Warrior.
Forget-Me-Not still managed to injure Kevin with her peerless swordsmanship.
The sight left Dr. Mei utterly stunned, almost unable to believe what she had seen.
As the leader of the Flame-Chaser Project and the developer of Hypermutation Surgery, she understood better than anyone the insurmountable gulf between Flame-Chaser Warriors and ordinary people.
