Dragon-san Beco overcome with concerns, Kyle returned to his office and threw hi to his secretary This helped hianize and control the icians possess

It was a job that involved pushi+ng lots of papers applied by variouspermissions, to predict natural disasters and prepare to counter theical beasts on the behalf of theanti-de story short, it was an awfully busy kind of job

Right now, Kyle'sconcern were the disappearances that's been happening frequently for the past teeks

「—- In the end, I was unable to find anything」

Kyle listened to the report of a young man that stood before hiician as sent to the city in order to help maintain peace and order on the streets, but his report was nothing short of a disappointet a lead on the house that seemed to be the kidnappers base, but e stormed the place it turned out to be empty It must have been one of many of their hideouts」

「Seriously?」

「I am sorry as well! It was a ht be ay

「It is a case on which even the city guard has no clues, so we must pursue every possible lead that co we have」

「But……」

「If you have tiical tools that you find on the scene It ive us some clues that will lead us to the eneht?」

「Yes, sir!」

Hearing the expectation in his supervisor's voice, the young lance over the report that was on his desk

「Three kids with high aptitude with ic You'd think they would be hard to kidnap them」

Children who can't control their oers tend to uncontrollably release it under the influence of their own eical explosion out of fear, and in worst case scenario the aftershock of such explosion could causearea

Shock waves the for as long as their reserves of ical poere not depleted

However, in this case there should be traces of ation, but no matter how much the children may have resisted their abductors, there were literally no traces left Like, at all As if they vanished into thin air

So apparently there is a ician out there who can abduct children and leave no traces of his villainous activities

In this country, there was a law that stated that all children with overnment That way it was possible for parents to receive a benefit froovernment But it was not until recently that Kyle discovered that it was only unregistered children that were disappearing

However, soes and believed registration equaled being drafted into the istered children were not that uncommon

If they take that into consideration, the nuer

Since becoer directly involved in cases like this one

Still, children who happen to disappear were possible ical potential tended to have robust growing period, and as such wielding , and depending on how they would grow up they would becoabond etting drafted into the h the appearance of the Black Flaon had helped a whole lot when it cos started resurfacing again after ten years have passed

We need to save those children as soon as possible and bring them back their futures, so they can choose their own path of free will Unlike how Kyle's life had been

The life of a ic The fate that was chosen for hi for his opinion

That is why Kyle was dead set on iicians in this country But in order to do that, first they had to properly reform this country's nobility and those at power

With this case so far, while he was dealing with the nobles, his subordinates ather solers they uard Thanks to that they had solers

After successfully catching the slers, they discovered the evidence that the children were being kept soician being involved in the process, the overall situation went back to a standstill

「If it's not for the purpose of hu, than what……?」

The entire capital was filled with barriers that reacted to any kind of foreignbarriers were erected at the city's gates, so that nothing - living or dead - that eical poould be able to enter the city or leave it without the

It could be said that there was no way for thechildren to be spirited away out of town, but ti without delay

Children withindeed

It rong for them to be kidnapped So, that problem must have been dealt with as soon as possible

Ridden with frustration, Kyle pushes the report away

Is there anything they haveproperly?

He cast a glance over the list of iteician that they raided just the other day

「A beaded bracelet, supposedly a jewelry or eleician wasthe them under the cover of cheap accessories or ho that part of the inventory in the report, Kyle got up and went of the roo it on his desk

Kyle marched without hesitation into one of the laboratories in the research tohere Nectar elling

As Kyle entered the room, Nectar raised his head from over the table that he was at with a bunch of his assistants

「Ah, Kyle, nice of you to swing by」

It see a survey of the various , for he wanted to talk to Nectar about the bracelet

「Nectar, letearlier」

When Nectar handed a bunch of papers to Kyle, he glanced over theaze towards the small bracelet on the table

Despite its low quality, it only took Nectar a few seconds to recognize the handiwork and patterns that were engraved on the bracelet stones At the sah the documents

「No mistake about it」

「Yeah, this version here is pretty inferior, but it is definitely the very same item as the bracelet on Lava's hand」

「What about it's capacity?」

「It will most probably break upon activation, but if a child without proper training would be exposed to its effects, I'm not really sure ould actually happen」

「damn it, but all the materials used to build it are rather expensive What's up with that?」

Kyle groaned while shaking his head, while Nectar picked up the papers with all of the data he ather up to this point

「The reason probably lies here It is the journal of the illegal ician we found the other day」

「…… Was it encrypted?」

「It was, but I e, but since its graed to learn it in few hours」

「Wow, usually it wouldn't go so well」
