Chapter 1899: Witch of the Void 1
Natsuki Minamiya.
That name was mentioned in the previous chapter, and as for her ident.i.ty, she was an English teacher at Saikai Academy, and she was one of few people who knew that Kojou Akatsuki had returned as a human again.
Outside of school, Natsuki was a high-ranking attack mage and was referred to as "Witch of the Void." She was also the guardian ("the jailer, the door, and the key") of the legendary magical prison that houses the most dangerous supernatural criminals, with her body being sealed inside the prison and while the version of her that appeared outside of the prison was merely an illusion.
But even if her body was just an illusion, no one could underestimate her power, considering she was a master at various powerful magic such as s.p.a.ce Manipulation, Chain Projection, Prison barrier, and Guardian Summoning. But even so, she didn"t dare to use all of that magic in this place. She looked at the huge building in front of her. It might be because there was a rule that the building height was extremely restricted that the owner of this building couldn"t build a skysc.r.a.per.
"If possible, then..."
Natsuki took a deep breath then walked calmly toward the entrance of the building. There were two guards that stood in front of the building, but she didn"t look down on them, or rather she was quite wary of the two of them since she knew that the power of the guards was enough to rip a human"s flesh into two with just their bare hands.
Natsuki knew that they weren"t humans but rather a robot that was developed by the owner of this building or a giant corporation. When she entered, she could feel that her magic was slowly disappearing, which made her frown, and somehow it was quite hard to maintain her figure, considering she used magic to create an illusion of her body, but she wasn"t a normal magician, even though it was hard, she could still maintain her illusion.
Natsuki looked at this building, and she had to admit that she was amazed by the security of this building.
"Welcome. Is there anything else that we can help you with?"
Still, Natsuki had to admit the service in this place was very good, and more importantly, the receptionist was both demon and human together, which surprised her. She then introduced herself, telling them their ident.i.ty and her intention to come to this place. When the female receptionist heard that she was a member of the Island Guard, along with her ident.i.ty, the female receptionist didn"t say much and just communicated with the people above whether to let her enter or not.
Natsuki didn"t say anything and waited for a while.
"Please wait for a moment. Ichijou-sama is still in the meeting," the female receptionist said politely. "Please wait in our waiting room. You can rest there while waiting."
"Yes." Natsuki nodded and didn"t refuse. In truth, she was quite curious about the boss behind this Black Clover cooperation since she knew that a lot of things that happened on this island might have related to him, but there was no evidence about this matter, and she knew that this matter was far more simple on the surface, and something deeper was going on.
Natsuki knew that some people had sent someone to attack this company, and even caused a lot of trouble to it, but this company and the people behind this company didn"t say much and directly erased the existence of the people who had caused trouble and caused a huge loss directly to the company that was related to the person who had caused the problem.
The most recent conflict was the conflict between both the Black Clover group and MAR, but the MAR couldn"t do anything, considering a lot of thunder happened on their headquarters, caused a lot of loss to their company, and even caused their company to not able to operate for several days or even a week.
If MAR didn"t have a relationship with the management of the Itogami Island, then Natsuki might not have come forward, and she was too lazy to come forward at the matter of the problem between the two companies.
Natsuki knew what was happening, but she was too lazy to know since their fights didn"t cause trouble to the civilians, but it might be because the Management Corporation was involved in the conflict between the MAR and the Black Clover that the Management Corporation was also being hit by the thunder so even if she didn"t want to do anything, she knew that she needed to do something, after all, an ability that was able to strike down anyone with a thunder easily and caused a huge loss on the corporation, weren"t something that normal people could do.
Natsuki knew that the power behind the Black Clover group was huge, and more importantly, it had the power over media, which caused a lot of black history of both the Management Corporation and the MAR to be known by the public directly, which was pretty much scary. If possible, she didn"t want to make this company her enemy.
Natsuki might be kind, but she wasn"t a hero-type who knew that someone would do something wrong and directly caught them. If she was that type of person, then she might as well have caught the three primogenitors who had caused a lot of mess in this world directly.
Natsuki waited in the waiting room patiently and drank the black tea that was made by the Black Clover group, and she had to admit that it tasted so d.a.m.n good!
Natsuki looked at the tea and thought that she should change the brand of her tea in the future.
"Bank, investment management, media, entertainment, tourism, food, technology, fishing, mining, construction, hotels, and even real estate, huh?" Natsuki thought that the power of the Black Clover group was very strong, but the problem wasn"t this.
"Fourth primogenitor..." When this name was mentioned to her, Natsuki knew mysterious this company was. When the power of the fourth primogenitor on Kojou Akatsuki disappeared and Kojou"s mother, Mimori Akatsuki, decided to move to this company, she knew that a lot of things were happening under her nose, but she just wanted to close her eyes and pretend that she didn"t see anything since it was very troublesome or rather, she felt that her power might not be able to do anything, and she was very helpless.
"Minamiya-san, please follow me. Ichijou-sama has finished his meeting," the female receptionist said.
Natsuki nodded, but she didn"t say much. She followed the female receptionist and then walked toward the room that was located on the top floor of this building. While walking, she observed how amazing the interior of this building was until she arrived in front of a huge door.
"Please enter," the female receptionist said while opening the door with a smile.
Natsuki nodded then walked inside. She could see a huge room inside, and the inside was quite simple that she was quite surprised, but even though this place was quite simple, it gave off a very comfortable feeling.
"You"re Minamiya Natsuki, the "Witch of the Void."" The young man smiled and said, "Nice to meet you. I"m Kasugano Haruka."
Natsuki then saw a young man in an aloha shirt, shorts, and round sungla.s.ses. She had to admit that even if his getups were quite individual, he might be the most handsome man that she had ever seen, which somehow made her blush, but then she realized something.
"Wait? Kasugano Haruka?"
Natsuki somehow realized that this meeting might not be as simple as it seemed, considering he might have introduced his real name to her. She took a deep breath, trying to calm down her throbbing heart, and said, "My name is Minamiya Natsuki. Nice to meet you."
