An Overly Weak Target, Taking a Leave of Absence! (The Chivalry of a Failed Knight Arc Concludes for Now)

International League Yingzhou Branch.

Night shrouded the bizarrely designed colossal building, lending it an eerie air in the darkness.

Kurogane Ryoma and the other senior officials sat in two rows. The conference room was so silent that a pin drop could be heard.

After hearing Akaza and the others' report, the atmosphere had grown heavy to the extreme.

After an unknown length of silence, Prime Minister Tsukikage Moga tapped his knuckles against the table, becoming the first to break the silence.

"Clearly, we greatly underestimated the Alliance Academy's foundations. Even with the Rebel Army's aid, we failed to shake them in the slightest."

Kurogane Ryoma's brows were tightly furrowed, his voice grim.

"Ouma and the others only need time to recover, but I'm afraid their spirits have been completely crushed."

Tsukikage Moga sighed. "Even our nation's strongest A-Rank Knights were no match for him. Just who is this person?"

Cold sweat streamed down Akaza's forehead. He hurriedly wiped it away, then presented several documents he had prepared beforehand.

"The target is named Kashu Animusphere, a first-year student at Hagun Academy this year."

"This subordinate is incompetent. We have yet to uncover his nationality or background, and—"

Tsukikage Moga flipped through the documents without looking up, his tone icy.

"Speak plainly."

"Yes!"

A flash of venomous resentment crossed Akaza's fat face. He immediately recounted his encounter with Kashu, embellishing it heavily.

Not only did he slander Kashu in every possible way, but he also implied that Kashu was very likely a spy planted in Japan by the Rebel Army.

"Pfft—!"

A sudden snicker shattered the oppressive atmosphere.

"Who was that?!"

"Who's there?!"

"Whoever you are, get out here!"

Alarms rang out at once. The Blazers responsible for security drew their various Device weapons and swiftly moved to protect the senior officials.
