Chapter 29 What you see is what you usually ge (1/2)

Lord Gallius' mood has turned for the worst when he saw that Alina and Alex huddled at the corner of the room, with them talking at each other discreetly.

To make matters more irritating for him, Lord Gallius noticed Alina using her Esper Ability to prevent sounds from coming.

As such, he can only watch the two talk with each other.

”...” After a few seconds of watching, Lord Gallius saw Alina becoming extremely angry, followed by her slap at Alex.

”D**n! I do not know what happened, but just keep at it, Alex!” Lord Gallius thought to himself as he watched at the conversation intently.

He resolutely ignored the afro guy, who was still busy wiping the capsule with a cloth.

To his dismay, Lord Gallius found Alina looking like she has calmed down, followed by her and Alex talking again for a few more minutes.

”That was refreshing.” Lord Gallius heard Alex saying these words as Alina dispelled her sound nullification field.

Both of them approached the afro guy once more, with Alina's formerly despondent look replaced with a determined expression.

”Oh…” It seems like the afro guy has noticed the change in Alina, as he paused what he was doing in the capsule.

The afro guy peered at Alina's determined eyes, before he looked at Alex who was just standing beside Alina.

”When you came in here, you look like a soulless sailor, whose goal is to just go where the ship goes. But right now, you look like the ship captain. You look like you have a destination in your mind right now… I like that.” The afro guy said as he stepped away from the capsule.

”So, I presume that you have a different request now?” The afro guy muttered as he kept the cloth in his shirt pocket.

”Yes, I have a different request.” Alina replied.

When Lord Gallius heard this, he could not help but feel a sinking sensation in his stomach, as if he could feel that something unpleasant was about to happen.

”…..” Lord Gallius pushed this sensation down as he refused to believe that something bad will happen right here at the WEO Headquarters.

”I want the other 50% of the World Diagram to be brought here…” Alina said, much to Lord Gallius' surprise. ”That is my request, and I think all my contribution points is enough for that.”

”…You want to see the whole World Diagram in its entirety…” The afro guy muttered these words like a spell. ”Is that… really your request?”

”It is, and I won't change it anymore.” Alina replied with a defiant look on her face.

”Sigh…” The afro guy shook his head as he sagged his shoulders.

”You know that the reason the two parts of the World Diagram were separated was because it ensures that the World Diagram will be much safer from attacks… What you are wishing right now puts the whole World Diagram in jeopardy…”

”Well, I only need to see them at the same room for a short amount of time…” Alina replied quickly again. ”There is no problem if that is the request, right?

”Hmmm… I know that you are plotting something in here.” The afro guy muttered to himself as he gave Alina and extremely serious look.

”Well, with all your security here, do you still have to fear for the World Diagram?” Alina drawled as she stepped towards the afro guy.

”Hmph! Victoria! Should I allow Alina's request?” The afro guy suddenly shouted out.

In response, the capsule began to glow blue as it began to talk.

”Chances of Alina doing something nefarious against the World Diagram: 0%. Victoria confirms that Miss Alina has no intent to destroy the World Diagram.”

”Huh?” The afro guy widened his eyes in surprise as he heard what the capsule said.

”How about him?” The afro guy pointed his fingers towards the direction of Alex, who just raised his eyebrows in curiosity.

”Chances of Alex doing something nefarious against the World Diagram: 0%. Victoria confirms that Mister Alex has no intent to destroy the World Diagram.”

”What?” Now, the afro guy is really surprised.

”Hehehe…” Alex shook his head as he saw that flabbergasted expression on the afro guy's face. ”There is no way that your machine can detect danger from us. After all, I have Asteria with me!”

***************

What Alex told to Alina earlier was just simple.

Instead of requesting to see her sister, Alina should just request for the two parts of the World Diagram to be brought together.

Alina obviously objected at this, as she said that there is no way that the afro guy will allow this to happen.

And even if he allowed it, the afro guy will will surely use the World Diagram to foresee if Alina and Alex had hostile intentions against the World Diagram.

In response to that, Alex's reply was that he had a countermeasure for that.

This countermeasure was Asteria, the stuck-up Fairy Queen.

”Hmph, so that is what you are planning to do huh.” Asteria muttered as she heard the conversation between Alex and Alina. ”Tsk, now that we are here, I have no choice but to do what you are implying to do…”

Asteria flew up in the air as she scattered some of her precious Fairy Dust on both Alina and Alex.

This time, instead of creating an illusion of their faces, Asteria's Fairy Dust created the illusion of safety.

Alina had some faint intentions to destroy the World Diagram, while Alex arrived in this place to fully destroy the World Diagram.

If afro guy asks the World Diagram to scan both Alina and Alex, it will surely detect their killing intent towards it.

Asteria's Fairy Dust however, used its illusion ability to cover up the hostile intentions of both Alex and Alina.

This was the reason why the World Diagram had deemed that both Alina and Alex had no evil intentions against it.

While Alex was relieved after what happened, Alina retained her poker face as she stared at the afro guy intently.

”....” The afro guy was silent, while Alex looked so smug.

Alina repressed the urge to sigh as she decisively ignored Asteria whispering to her.

”Alina, you can see me just like Alex… Why don't you just tell Alex that you can see me too? That way, Alex will not be this tense in front of you.”

”...….”

**************************

Aside from her Weak Space Manipulation, Alina had another ability.

That ability was to see through all kinds of falsehoods, and only see the truth.

This allowed her to know when someone is lying, and it also allowed her to see through illusions.

She does not know how she got this Truth Ability, but Alina knew that she can just do it.
