    Episode 214 Order Synod (1)

    As soon as the order meeting began the most reticent member of the First Order raised his hand.

    The reason I had no choice but to describe it as a raised hand was because something that looked like a thin hand literally rose out of the round flame.

    “okay. Leslie. “Do you have any questions?”

    I wonder if the name of the guy who has been the quietest until now is Leslie.

    Now I know all the names. However it is not yet clear what they are doing outside.

    “I will speak shamelessly to Zero Order. “This time there is a vacancy in the position of the First Order. Does that mean Esmeralda died during the mission?”

    “okay.”

    “I didn’t want to believe it but what Nikolai said was true. “Then may I ask what happened?”

    They must have found it hard to believe that she a member of the same First Order and the wielder of the highest level spirit of fire had died.

    I understand that you are curious.

    The problem is how Zero Order reacts.

    The eyes of the First Order including me turned to the Zero Order.

    While I was thinking about what kind of expression Zero Order would have under the mask he opened his mouth.

    “Hmm. “It would be nice if John Doe who was there at the time could explain that.”

    Are you pointing arrows at me here?

    Even in an unexpected situation I smiled.

    Interesting.

    “Esmeralda’s death came with Quasimodo. “To be exact the two co-destructed each other.”

    When I opened my mouth as if I had been waiting everyone reacted with surprise.

    “Common annihilation?”

    “You may not have known it but First Order Esmeralda or more accurately Quasimodo the fire spirit under her command was the real First Order.”

    “By Quasimodo do you mean that ugly monster?”

    To Bentmin’s question I answered yes.

    “okay. Originally Esmeralda was just an existence to manipulate Quasimodo. In reality Quasimodo was the main body controlling her. “The master-slave relationship was the opposite.”

    Rather than a typical relationship between a spirit and a spiritist this is the complete opposite case where an evil spirit manipulates a human to make it move.

    I revealed the truth to everyone.

    As explained to Zero Order when Quasimodo was cornered Esmeralda began to resist and they disappeared together.

    “It means total destruction.”

    Leslie who had asked the question muttered in agreement as if he was suffocating.

    “Did it really have that uniqueness? In that case Esmeralda may actually have been unsuited to the position of the First Order. “It is a fitting end for imperfect power.”

    “But the power was real. I think it’s a shame that the empty space is there. Actually I wanted to analyze it a bit! Oh Hyo-hyo!”

    Even though his existence itself was imperfect Quasimodo’s power was unrivaled no matter where he went.

    Insane vitality that regenerates even after being directly hit by anti-magic magic of the 6th tier.

    And even a flame with the will to burn anything.

    I knew it because I had fought it myself.

    The reason Zero Order recruited him into the First Order must have been because of his terrifying strength and power.

    Even so I don’t see a single one who looks sad or regrets that a colleague has fallen.

    There is no camaraderie between one another.

    Zero Order opened its mouth.

    “So I’m thinking of electing a new First Order. “Is there anyone against it?”

    Everyone fell silent at Zero Order’s question.

    They must also be quite aware of the fact that they are leaving the vacant executive position unattended.

    Even if a new First Order is created anyway he probably doesn’t oppose it because it has nothing to do with him.

    “Oh Hyo-hyo. Mr. Zero Order. So who will be the new First Order? “Do you have anyone in mind?”

    “I want to start by asking you guys what you think. “Do you have any opinions?”

    “First of all I think it would be a good idea to appoint a qualified person from the second order.”

    Nikolai made an appropriate comment.

    Among the Second Order there are probably a few people who covet the position of the First Order or have the ability to rise to that position.

    “Then Nikolai. Is there anyone you recommend? “If you have a useful subordinate under your command I’ll consider it.”

    “haha. I’m sorry but the members below me are not suitable for the position of the First Order. But more than anything I don’t think there will be anyone who falls in love with Zero Order.”

    “I guess that’s true too.”

    “Well it was just something I tried. After all weren’t everyone here chosen by Zero Order himself? ha ha ha.”

    also.

    Everyone gathered here did not come from below but were selected by Zero Order himself.

    ‘Even in Esmeralda’s memories Zero Order directly recruited Quasimodo.’

    Perhaps the reason they invited me here was to replace John Doe who is now dead.

    Zero Order intends to turn me into the real John Doe.

    Is it going from fake to real?

    This is truly ironic.

    “We all of the First Order respect Zero Order’s choice.”

    When Nikolai said that on his behalf Leslie did not hide his discomfort.

    “Nikolai. “Please refrain from acting as if you are our representative.”

    “Huh? Is that so? “I just spoke for everyone because they were quiet.”

    “Even if you don’t say it our opinions are the same. “There is no need to go out like that.”

    “Oh my I’m so scared. “Let’s listen carefully.”

    Perhaps because of the presence of Zero Order the atmosphere between the two did not get any more serious than that.

    ‘The First Order doesn’t seem to have a very good relationship with each other.’

    Actually they are all strange guys with abilities and personalities.

    Seven fire witch Esmeralda-level people gathered in one place?

    It would be almost a miracle for these guys to come together like this.

    Was it the charisma of Zero Order that made this possible?

    “Well I guess there’s nothing I can do about this other than bringing in someone who is suitably suited to the First Order. “But there are a few people I’ve had my eye on recently so it won’t take long.”

    In the end it was decided that Zero Order would recruit a new member to fill Esmeralda’s vacancy.

    “ruler. Then let’s move on to the second agenda. “Is everyone doing their jobs well?”

    Just as John Doe sneaks into Theorn wins their favor and carries out special orders specifically ordered by the Zero Order.

    Other First Orders also have their own roles.

    Leslie was the first to speak.

    “yes. This is going smoothly. Old wizards will destroy themselves without even knowing what they are doing. “It’s not far away either.”

    Old wizard. Self-destruction. It won’t be long.

    I listened to Leslie.

    ‘What is the earliest thing that will happen related to wizards?’

    There is only one thing that comes to mind.

    It was “Night of Mystery.”

    ‘If you say he’s an old wizard does he belong to the old magic tower? Or he could be a senior member of the school association.’

    God Magic Tower could not be excluded from the list of suspects.

    Although it is said to be made up of relatively young people that doesn’t mean there aren’t older wizards.

    In any case as long as the opponent was the First Order it was clear that he held a fairly high position in some organization.

    “iced coffee. Same goes for me. “They are working hard to stoke people’s anxiety and fan the flames of liberation forces.”

    It was Nikolai who said that.

    Are these agitators who support the liberation army and shake up ordinary citizens?

    However there is no way for an ordinary person to be fluent in all kinds of information.

    ‘Seeing how confident he is in this area he must be sitting in a high position in some organization.’

    Intelligence agencies of each country.

    Among them there was a high possibility that he was at least sitting in a senior position.

    The Intelligence Bureau of the Exilion Empire is no exception.

    “I am also proceeding calmly but there are some parts that are a little annoying.”

    The next person to speak after Nikolai was Bentmin.

    “Integration is progressing step by step but we have not yet found the missing ‘thing’. So I think it will take some time.”

    Integration. And is it something you are looking for?

    When it comes to integration it means that we are divided but just looking at the way he speaks from Benjamin’s point of view what is there that can be integrated?

    “Oh Hyo-hyo. I am….”

    Next it was Victor Dreadful’s turn.

    Victor who would normally be excited and talkative showed a bit of hesitation when his turn came.

    When he didn’t answer Nikolai smiled softly and said

    “Oh right. Victor said that the experiment lab was attacked by someone this time right? “No not this time. Is this the second time?”

    “yes? Is that really true? “No Victor you always act so proud. What’s going on?”

    Victor said in a tearful voice.

    “It’s unfair! The test subject might escape on its own or an unknown intruder might appear! “The people below didn’t do their job properly!”

    “It is your responsibility for not managing those things properly. “I wish you would pay more attention and not just focus on your own experiments.”

    Leslie shot back as if scolding.

    Victor could not bear to refute it and asked Berom who was sitting next to him for help.

    “Night Verom! Please say something. “You were there at that time too!”

    “Damn. Why are you biting me? “It has nothing to do with me.”

    “Because you are also responsible for missing the enemy! “You should have caught it then!”

    “Ugh.”

    Berom sighed.

    “Berom. “Did you have something to do with it?”

    “Lesley. “Let me just say that when I arrived the Baltanung branch had already been robbed.”

    “Still it looks like you encountered the enemy so you missed it?”

    “Because he wasn’t an ordinary guy.”

    “That’s amazing. If you were to use the power of black armor you would have been able to suppress any opponent in an instant. “Moreover weren’t there a warlock and Victor there?”

    “The warlock was already dead and this mad scientist almost died. “I saved you.”

    “Hoo?”

    Hearing that I guess Leslie was also interested.

    “It looks like some pretty powerful people have invaded.”

    “Guys? no. The ones who invaded were not the majority. “I was alone.”

    “Alone?”

    “okay. I’m alone. “He’s on a different level too.”

    Victor thought it was time to help.

    “that’s right! He was such a no-nonsense person! “I covered myself with a black shadow and jumped through space!”

    “Besides that fire magic he showed me last time. “It was anything but ordinary.”

    After Victor and Berom said this Nikolai couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked.

    “Who on earth was it? “Have you seen the impression?”

    “I couldn’t see it because there was a shadow all over my body. The only thing I know is how to move through space by jumping over shadows. And it uses great magic of great power. “With that one magic blow the factory became a sea of ​​fire.”

    “It’s a sea of ​​fire… Come to think of it didn’t you say that the Lederbelk branch was completely burned down?”

    “that’s right! “That’s what I heard too!”

    “Hmm. “I think the person who attacked the Baltanung branch and the Lederbelk branch may be the same person.”

    Nikolai’s guess was sharp.

    Actually I burned them both down.

    But they wouldn’t even dream that it was me who did it.

    The First Order who had various opinions among themselves about the unidentified intruder concluded that they should be on guard as there was little they could find out at the moment.

    “So John Doe. “What did you do?”

    The last batter was me.

    “I have infiltrated Seorn and gained its trust by accumulating achievements as a teacher. “It’s actually going well.”

    The mission given to John Doe is simple.

    Since he is a guy who specializes in disguised infiltration and assassinations anyway the scale of his mission is significantly smaller than that of other First Orders.

    With those words I closed my mouth as if I had finished my business.

    It was at that moment when I thought it would be enough to move on that Nikolai opened his mouth.

    “Hmm. I’ve heard a lot of news these days. John Doe. “They say you are very capable as a teacher.”

    “….”

    I glanced at Nikolai.

    The guy only looked like a black flame but it wasn’t so much that I couldn’t feel the emotions in his gaze.

    “But it’s so strange. You’re making your name known too much. Unlike you before.”

    What was in his gaze was ‘suspicion’.

    “I hear that name often these days. Ludger Chelsea. Create new magic. Ludger Chelsea. Do a great job. “I don’t know about other guys but I hear that name a lot.”

    “So what do you want to say?”

    When I spoke with annoyance Nikolai waved his hand and said

    “me? Ahaha. I don’t have anything in particular I want to say. “It’s just that the way you’ve been acting recently hasn’t been like you.”

    It’s not like me.

    Nikolai just spoke in passing but the other First Order members who were influenced by his words stared at me intently.

    Even if Nikolai pretended not to there was only one point of what he was saying.

    The question is are you really John Doe?

    ‘This is so true.’

    Zero Order just watches this scene as if it is amusing.

    It was the attitude of a complete bystander who would neither intervene nor provide assistance.

    ‘That’s interesting.’

    Even though you know you are deliberately keeping your mouth shut.

    Zero Order’s thoughts were too blatant.

    In that case I have no choice but to go a little blatant here as well.

    “John Doe. Why aren’t you saying anything? Or something really fishy…”

    “Nikolai.”

    I stared at Nikolai and opened my mouth.

    “It’s hard for me to keep listening to your nonsense. “Why is your tongue so long?”

    Nikolai fell silent at my rant.

    The atmosphere at the round table turned cold.
