Kapitel 66: Chapter-66 Ten-Masters Clan Conference pt-1
Chapter-66 Ten-masters clan conference
*Vroom*
(Miya POV)
I fixed the rearview mirror with one hand, holding the steering wheel with the other. The windows of the black sedan I drove were tinted.
In USNA, tinted windows in the car were only allowed for the backseat but here in Japan, that wasn't the case.
Anyway, most of the clans used tinted windows for their means of transport, for the privacy of course, not that it mattered since a magician could bypass the tint using certain spells.
Now you may wonder, why was I driving the sedan?
The reason was simple.
Because 'he' asked me to do so.
Usually 'he' would ask the head butler to drive the vehicle but tonight, it was me who was asked to drive the black sedan.
"Tell me, Miya...what are your thoughts on my plan?" (Erik)
"You may speak your mind, truthfully. I wouldn't mind contradictions." (Erik)
Now I know why 'he' asked me to drive.
I looked towards the young man sitting on the backseat through the rearview mirror.
Erik Saltzman, a terrifying individual who is very good at hiding his true strength.
He had a curious expression on his face but I knew better, I wonder what he was planning now. He can always read my mind to find out my thoughts so why is he asking me?
"Don't think too much, Miya. I just want to hear your true opinion on my plans, the ones that you are aware of, so to say." (Erik)
"I don't understand what you are trying to achieve by putting the world into an illusion." (Miya)
Tch!
I answered truthfully, knowing full well that I was just a puppet and he; the puppeteer.
I couldn't lie or try to hide anything from him.
I simply chose to go through my thoughts, voicing them out for him to hear.
"Let's say you succeed in putting the world inside the illusion, what next? Sure, they will be able to achieve everything they want within their dream but what then?" (Miya)
"What will happen to the next generation? Since everyone will be busy dreaming, who will produce the next generation? How will you keep them from dying while dreaming without food or water?" (Mira)
"The way I see it, your plan only leads to death of every human; it's no paradise..." (Miya)
"Hahaha...You misunderstand me."
"I may be ruthless but even so I wouldn't just kill every last human being on the planet." (Miya)
Huh? Now this got my attention, doesn't he what to put the world in some kind of permanent illusion? But now he is saying that it isn't what he is trying to achieve.
I once again turned towards the rearview mirror, questions all over my face as I patiently waited for him to explain.
He sat with a smile across his face, legs crossed as he leaned backwards on the comfortable seat, probably to turn towards the window.
"[Eye of the Moon Plan] isn't what you think. What I am trying to achieve is a true paradise, not just an illusion." (Erik)
"Tell me, if you are strong enough or have enough resources, can you turn a concept into reality? And I mean, literally…" (Erik)
Huh? What is he implying?
"I don't understand...?" (Miya)
He simply looked at me and slowly pointed forward with his eyes.
"We have reached the destination..." (Erik)
I was confused by his answer, but before I could voice my confusion. I felt a compelling force telling me to slowly step on the brake and stop the sedan.
And before I knew it, the sedan was already in rest whereas the back door was opened for him to step outside.

Erik stepped out of the car as the hotel employee closed the door behind him; he stepped towards the hotel entrance with the invitation within his right hand.
He was wearing a white suit & pants, a red tie, golden framed glasses and of course, white gloves. In combination with his hair and eyes, he looked handsome.
Today was the annual 10-Masters Clan Conference, today...the new 10-clan would be chosen to bear the number digits in their name.
A very important day so to say, the clans would organize a high-class party to celebrate the selection of new clans, every year.
High profile individuals from all over the country would be invited to attend the party in honour of the new chosen clans.
Erik as such was also invited to be a part of the fabulous yearly party, a perfect opportunity for him to interact with Kudou Retsu and Major Kazama.
Yes, Major Kazama of the 101-battalion would also be attending the party, with the battalion leaders accompanying him.
Even though Tatsuya or Miyuki wouldn't be attending the party, Yotsuba Maya would be here for sure.
But this wasn't what Erik was after, surely observing the clan leaders of the strongest forces within Japan would be very beneficial to him but he was more interested in meeting Kudou Minoru.
He wanted to finally fill his last ability slot, with Minoru's [Boosted Elemental Sight].
Not to mention, Minoru was also an essential piece for Erik to use, to convince Elder Retsu to aid him.
Now, how did Erik knew Minoru was here?
Well, he had once already seen Retsu's soul during the competition using [Hollow's Eyes], so finding him wasn't difficult.
Erik had also spotted a peculiar soul beside Retsu, this once was nowhere near a stable soul, it was covered in black patches all over itself, indicating severe lack of vitality.
Vitality equals all parameters, so it wasn't hard to guess whose soul was so damaged.

(Katsuto POV)
The annual Ten-Masters Clan Conference was about to begin, unlike previous years, this time my father wanted me to attend the conference, representing the Juumonji clan.
He wanted me to gain experience in the conference and hopefully figure our allies and enemies.
A lot of powerful individuals had gathered within the hotel, with the help of [Kagura's Mind Eye], I was able to get a rather detailed power scale within the various clans.
The Clan Heads, of course, had the strongest presence and pressure out of everyone else but there was still a glaring presence whom I recognized.
It seems like Erik is also attending the party.
I wonder what does he plan on doing today.
