Chapter 1590 Fortress Class Metaphysical
Inside the headquarters of the British Branch of White Knight Order, all the members of Six Heads gathered together to have a meeting about the promotion of Kasugano Haruka to the S Rank Savior.
"Now then, since everyone is here, why don't we start? The motion is Kasugano Haruka's Rank S certification."
Edward opened up about the meeting, but there was one beautiful woman that played with her fan and directly said, "I am opposed. Any objections?"
Vasilisa Yuryevna Mostovaya.
She is a Russian Savior and one of the Six Heads, making her the Russian Branch Head.
She is a beautiful young woman who appears to be at least in her twenties with long blonde hair and purple eyes, she also has a seductive well-endowed figure. She also wears an exotic dress that reveals most of her cleavage.
Then one man with a scar on his face raised his hand, and said, "I'm with the Thunder Empress."
The name of this man is Charles Saint-Germain. He is a French Savior and among one of the Six Heads, making him the French Branch Head.
"I am in favor."
Andou ignored both Charles and Vasilisa and said, "With his power, he should become S Rank Savior."
"What about the rest of you?" Edward asked. He didn't think too much about Charles and Vasilisa since there were still two more members in the Six Heads and the minority needed to follow the majority.
"I wouldn't want to interrupt your discussion."
Lu Zhixin, the Right-Hand of the Chinese Division Head and one of the S-Rank Saviors, said his opinion.
While everyone from the Six Heads was present, there was one person that was using a laptop to appear in this meeting. This person's name was Arlene Highbury, she was an S-Rank Savior from the USA and was part of the Six Heads. No one was sure about her face since she mostly stayed indoors and never came out.
In this meeting, Arlene also stated her opinion.
"Do we even have enough information to assess what's-his-face's ability is?"
"Don't worry, he defeated the nine-headed metaphysical alone. He's very powerful," Edward said.
"And the evidence?" Charles asked.
"We have a video and a metaphysical corpse in the Japan Branch of the nine-headed metaphysical that is defeated by Kasugano-kun," Andou said.
"Video? Can we see it?" Arlene asked.
"Yes."
Edward nodded and played the video at how Haru was able to defeat the metaphysical.
*Crack!*
When the video was played, there was a sound of a loud crack and even though the quality of the video was quite bad since it was from the security camera of the shopping mall, everyone was clear that they saw a young man that pulverized the nine-headed metaphysical with a punch.
"…"
When everyone saw the video, the expression of Andou and Edward was quite relaxed since Haru was their allies.
The expression of Arlene and Lu Zhixin became serious at how powerful Haru was, however, the expression of both Charles and Vasilisa became ugly when they saw how powerful Haru was, but…
"This evidence isn't enough," Vasilisa said without hesitation.
"What do you mean, Thunder Empress?" Andou frowned.
"This might be a trick or a video that can be edited by the Japanese Branch, this evidence isn't enough," Vasilisa said.
"You…!" Andou's expression turned ugly, but he didn't do anything. His rank might be higher than Vasilisa, but when it came to fighting a Savior, his power was weak and it wasn't enough to defeat Vasilisa.
"Is there any other evidence?"
Unlike Vasilisa who couldn't accept the result, Charles was more open-minded, thinking about how he was going to make Haru work under him.
"Well, in truth… he has defeated me…" Edward said awkwardly.
"……"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Edward's words.
Out of the Six Heads, Edward had the highest defense and among everyone in this place, they didn't want to fight Edward since it was very troublesome, but they didn't expect that Haru was capable of defeating Edward.
"Really? What is his power? How can he defeat you? Your defense is very strong, right? How can he break it?" Arlene asked continuous questions since the data of Kasugano Haruka was very important to her research, after she heard he had defeated Edward.
Everyone was also curious, and at the same time, they knew that Haru had already become S Rank Savior after they heard that Edward had been defeated by Haru.
Edward was about to answer Arlene's questions, but suddenly…
"Ugh!"
Andou clutched his chest and felt that it was so painful that he almost passed out.
"Not at a time like this…"
"What's wrong, Andou?" Edward asked.
Andou's expression turned ugly and said, "It's Metaphysical."
"What?!" 5x
Then there was an alert announcement and they knew very well that it wasn't a normal metaphysical, but it was more than that…
Inside the observation room, all the members of the Striker gathered together, watching the Metaphysical that appeared on the sea from the monitor.
"It's three hundred meters long!" Tokiko was in shock.
"No, the Dreadnought class is nothing compared to this!" One of the members of the Striker was in fear and his voice was trembling.
"Six Heads have named it the Fortress Class," Jin said.
"So where is it now?"
"In the Sea of Japan, moving southward. It will pass this island and reach Honshu in an hour."
"If that thing sets foot on the land…"
"It will be catastrophic!"
Everyone's expression turned heavy until Momochi asked, "When will the backup come?"
"Japan Headquarters is ordering us to retreat," Jin said.
"What?!"
"They have decided that we can't attack recklessly while the Japan Executive isn't here," Jin said.
Haru then noticed Satsuki, who was in shock and worried, he could understand her worry and held her hand gently.
"Haru…" Satsuki couldn't hide her worry when she thought that this metaphysical would set foot on the land.
"Calm down," Haru said.
Satsuki nodded and moved closer to him since she needed this and when she stayed beside him, she felt that she felt very secure at that moment.
Haru then looked at Jeanne and Shizuno, who also gave him a nod.
When everyone was talking to each other about retreating, Haru interrupted them and said, "Isurugi-senpai, I will stay here."
"Huh?!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"I am an S Rank Savior after all, and I am going to defeat this metaphysical," Haru said.
Jin knew that he had told everyone that it was better to retreat and at the same time, the executives of the Knight White Order in the Japanese Branch had told them to retreat, even though he felt uncomfortable, but he also knew that he wasn't this metaphysical's opponent.
"But Haru…!" Jin wanted to say something, but his words were cut.
"You don't need to worry."
Haru walked out with Jeanne, Satsuki, and Shizuno and said, "This is my decision, and the order has only told the Striker to retreat, but right now I am not a member of the Striker and as long as I defeat it, no one will dare to say anything to me." He left directly since he was too lazy to listen to the talk between them.
The reason why Haru decided to defeat this metaphysical even though his quest had ended wasn't that he was a good guy, but Satsuki was, after all, his girlfriend and he could see that she wanted to save this island so he was going to save it and defeat the metaphysical.
When Haru, Jeanne, Shizuno, and Satsuki left, Maya bowed her head to everyone and followed them, leaving only the rest of the members of the Strikers, who were in frustration, when they thought that they should run away when they saw a metaphysical that they couldn't defeat and they didn't say anything about Haru's rude behavior since what he did was something that all of them wanted to do, but they were too weak and they didn't have a strength like him, who could become S Rank Savior.
They lowered their heads and everyone was in silence since they were thinking about what kind of decision that they should make in front of danger, should they run, or should they stay here to stop the metaphysical?
