Chapter 292: Saeki Hiromi is wondering what to do (Mahouka)
With an appearance akin to a gentle grade school principal, Saeki Hiromi's true identity as a genius and formidable information analyst at the National Defense Force GHQ, especially when she supported her subordinates in winning the Great Indochina War, earning her the moniker of 'Silver Fox,' was a testament to her significance and impact.
So, the moment Kazama told her that Isao had gone to Hokkaido, Saeki didn't hesitate and took an airplane from Tokyo to Hokkaido to meet Isao since she knew she had to meet him as soon as possible.
Unlike the original, the one who stopped the Okinawa Defense Naval Battle wasn't Tatsuya, but it was Isao Iinuma, a young man whose identity was clear.
Yes, this young man might be quite suspicious since there was hardly anything about his identity.
Isao was probably also an orphan, and he might be a natural superpower instead of being genetically modified.
If he didn't make a move during that Okinawa Defense Naval Battle, Saeki knew that she and others would be clueless about his identity since if he did nothing, he would just stay as a normal civilian whose values were insignificant in front of greater purpose.
Yet, during that crisis, he made a move. He saved everyone and saved the country.
Knowing the power of this young man, it was impossible for the army and the country to stay in silence, ignoring his presence.
Or rather, they had to do their best to please him.
What about kidnapping him and doing an experiment on his body?
Hahaha...
If they dared to do that, then their country would be as good as gone.
Saeki knew well how dangerous Isao was.
By using his physical ability, he could defeat the Great Asian Union, which was prepared to wage war on this country.
Not by magic but by physical ability.
His power was unique and different from others, and if Saeki had to say, Isao would be the most dangerous being in the world.
In other words, Isao's existence was similar to that of the Strategic-Class Magician, an existence of a magician whose magic could easily match a mass destruction weapon, but he was much, much, or even the strongest among them.
By the way, what is a Strategic-Class Magician?
Unlike in the past, in this current era, the use of the nuclear bomb is forbidden as it would pollute the Earth beyond what it could recover from through the use of radioactive and nuclear materials used in weapons of mass destruction.
However, it was impossible for everyone to be at peace, so they needed to have weapons.
This weapon had to have a power that was comparable to a mass destruction weapon, yet at the same time, this weapon couldn't affect the precious environment on Earth.
With all of these causes, the International Magic Association was established in 2046 to prevent the nuclear bomb from being used.
At the same time, the importance of a magician was more significant than previously, and all the countries in the world tried to develop the strongest magician as a deterrent to protect their country.
Those strongest magicians were known as the Strategic-Class Magicians.
Naturally, due to their powers, their numbers were limited, and only a humongous country had them.
Yet, such an existence was born, and this magician appeared in their country!
Of course, Saeki was excited, not only due to the significance of such a deterrent that could be beneficial to the country.
More importantly, he was neutral, without a single relationship with any other family magicians.
In other words, he would be a primogenitor, the first of his kind.
Unlike other countries, this country was unique since there was an existence known as a magician family.
This magician family gave this country an advantage over others as the overall quality and strength of their magicians were much better than any other country.
Yet, Saeki felt that this was dangerous since if this country was too dependent on such families, in case trouble came to this country, this country would be at a disadvantage, especially if those families rejected the country's order.
In the worst case, those families might take over this country.
This thought of her might make her the enemy of all the magician families in this country, but she didn't care since it was for the overall situation. She might not hate those families, but it would be better if they had a strong magician who wasn't affiliated with those families so they could check each other. More importantly, as she was a human and wasn't a magician, while she tried to be rational, there was also resistance within herself to let the magicians control the country.
So, there was no doubt Isao's existence was a great gift to this country.
However, at the same time, she also knew that she had to be careful since Isao's existence was too chaotic since, according to Kazama, for someone who recorded himself as a "normal human," Isao could kill others with ease without even feeling guilt or negative emotions.
Probably, in his mind, the act of killing a human was similar to killing a chicken or ants.
If Isao was a soldier or came from a magician family, it was normal, but he wasn't, so this act of killing others, yet remaining calm, was unnatural. More importantly, his past was so clean that Saeki couldn't find anything.
Frankly, if possible, Saeki wanted to do more observation, but she knew that she didn't have any leeway, especially when no one could control Isao.
'Strong physical ability...' Saeko thought helplessly.
Yes, unlike other magicians, Isao's physical ability was a forte and was also the reason why he could be called the strongest being in this world.
At the same time, this also made him dangerous since, in the worst case, he could just swim away to the Pacific Ocean, and by then, how could they even try to chase him?
Or rather, forget about the oceans; if he just thought of running to the big city areas, they would be as good as in passive as his power was enough to kill everyone with ease.
It could be said that Isao was the ultimate being, and in this world, there were probably no places that he couldn't visit, especially with his physical ability.
So, the best way to face him was by sincerity since if they made an enemy of him, Saeki could imagine that this country would be destroyed.
Even if Isao decides to go to Hokkaido, Saeki doesn't stop him and lets him do whatever he wants. If there was something fortunate, it was the fact that he was quite chill and let Kazama follow him.
'Or rather, I don't think he even puts others in his eyes...'
Saeki could imagine that, in Isao's eyes, Kazama was as good as a single-cell creature that existed within the surroundings. They existed, but humanity ignored them because they didn't possess a threat or whatever.
This also made her wonder how Isao would react when she wished him to be part of this country.
Would he refuse?
If he refused, then what would he do?
Would he destroy this country?
As she was on her way to Hokkaido, she had been thinking of many things, which made her face pale due to nervousness, wondering what kind of approach she should take when she faced him.
Still, if there was something that made her uneasy, it was how Isao registered himself as a normal human.
Unlike a magician, who had a duty to serve and protect the country, a normal human didn't have such a duty and was free to do whatever they wanted.
Some were greedy and hurt others for their benefit. Others dared to give their lives to protect their loved ones or this country.
Nevertheless, as Isao registered himself as a human, he was given a choice, whether to live as a selfish being or a kind being, yet with all the crises that have happened in this country for the past decades, if he really loved this country, he should make a move. However, he didn't, so Saeki could tell that Isao was someone who put his needs over the rest.
In other words, Isao was a selfish guy.
As for why Isao decided to make a move to Okinawa instead of hiding, Saeki wasn't sure.
'Does that place have something significant to him?'
Yet, whatever the reason, it was a good thing that Isao was willing to stop the tragedy that might happen on Okinawa.
However, would he even wish to help this country again?
If possible, Saeki wished Kazama would give her more information about Isao so she wouldn't be clueless and could determine what kind of attitude she should take when she faced him, but unfortunately, he knew nothing except for his powers or his merciless attitude.
Still, she didn't blame Kazama since it was normal to treat such a dangerous being with caution.
Nevertheless, even though she knew that she had to go to Hokkaido, she wasn't sure which city she should go to.
Hokkaido was a huge island, after all, and with her old age, was she told to go around Hokkaido to search for Isao?
So, she called Kazama, and fortunately, it was connected, and she got the answer.
"Asahikawa?"
"Yes, he is currently in Asahikawa, and he might go to the surrounding cities."
"What is he planning to do?" Saeki asked in doubt.
"He told me he planned to buy a dairy farm using his previous money."
"...dairy farm?"
"Yes, dairy farm."
"....." 2x
The two fell in silence and really wondered what this most dangerous being planned to do.
