章 93: CH 76: OMNIPRESENT MASTER? (1)
"...You don't know who I am, but...I know who you are."
*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*
Kuroha immediately hung up the phone once he heard this scammer-like line. You might ask, what if it was true? Then he would only sneer. Worst comes to worst, he would simply leave the country. How could he not have prepared himself? During all those years, while, he never left the country, he made it so that each time Himiko did, he would appear at her destination and mark it. Well, this was mostly Himiko's plan.
The only problem might be those bonded fields. But, he refused to believe that it was a widely circulated technology. Most likely, only a very select few should have something like that, and even then, it shouldn't cover more than a few hundreds meters in reality. You could say that Kuroha was the worst kind of fugitive any country would wish to have. He could go anywhere in the world anytime he wanted.
His phone began to ring again. He looked at the screen and saw that it was still the same number. He answered calmly once again.
"Hello. It's Kuroha. Who is it?"
"Did you not hear me? I know who you…"
*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*
Once again Kuroha hung up before pocketing it and walking away while whistling. Initially he acted rudely in order to understand the personality of the one calling him. Another reason was that he needed to take the initiative. Blackmail could only work when one really got your weak point. The more hurried and worried he acted, the more power that person would have over him.
Now though, he was sure that he didn't need to worry so much. This person didn't seem to abhor malicious intentions toward him. That or she was a retard. This lifted a huge weight off his shoulders. After all, being able to flee at will didn't mean that he wished to become a fugitive.

"Ahahah. Oh my God!!! *inhale* I can't…I can't breathe. Ahahah!!!"
Somewhere else, in what looked like an underground bunker filled with high tech, two people could be seen. One on a comfy chair in front of a giant computer, the other rolling seated on a bed as she laughed her ass off.
One of them was what looked like a woman wearing red and gold armor. She was staring speechlessly at the screen where the words no connection could be seen. Even though her visage couldn't be seen, it was clear that she felt mortified.
Next to her, another girl, a blonde one with very long shiny hair and blue eyes, wearing a white robe over blue garbs, both laced with golden outlines. She looked rather young, no more than 14 or 15 years old. But no matter how much she laughed, it was clear that the Armored woman didn't dare to be angry at her.
"Teacher!! Please stop laughing. It's really embarrassing you know?"
"Ahhh! OK. OK, I'll stop."
The young girl, Milienia, tried her best to catch her breath as she clutched her side and wiped a tear. That was how hilarious it was. After a while, she finally managed to calm herself,
"I told you that such a childish prank wouldn't work. Kuroha has a very cold personality. You need way more to really rattle him. Now you must have lost all credibility with him. Even if you were to become serious he wouldn't believe you."
Ferrum Femina felt a little dejected. Her teacher really held no punch when it came to mocking her students. Still, a question bothered her,
"Teacher, I don't understand. While my trick was a little clumsy, it was done purposely in order to not make him doubt. Still, this shouldn't be enough for him to react so calmly. From what I understand. He seems to be rather rash and emotional."
Milienia immediately ceased to laugh. Before saying,
"Then you understood him wrongly or only partially. Kuroha is a very complex child. So complex that sometimes I feel like I am facing different people at the same time. It's a very peculiar feeling. All I can say is that he can be pretty stubborn about some of his ideas but extremely uncaring about some others. How interesting… "
Ferrum was a little stunned. She knew Her teacher since she was a child. It's her who trained her and allowed her to surpass her limitations and realize the dream she never thought she would be able to. For as long as she knew her, even though her teacher would sometimes act weirdly it was just because she was bored or wanted to loosen a somewhat stiff atmosphere. It was very rare for her to find something interesting. Much less a person.
In fact, even though she never wanted to ascertain the truth, she felt like that even if she died right here right now, her teacher would only say something like, "How uninteresting.." before forgetting about her. It was a very upsetting thought. But she knew that she was right.
Seeing her so interested in Kuroha came as a surprise. Honestly, she felt a little jealous. It was like seeing your mother seemingly show more love towards your younger brother.
"So, teacher what should I do?"
Milienia laid down on the bed, as she began to think, the short black skirt revealing a red and black panty. Ferrum had to look aside. It was in a situation like this she remembered that despite her look, her teacher wasn't a little girl by any means. Finally, after a while Milienia finally opened her mouth,
"To tell the truth. I didn't want to interfere in this situation. Like I said, Kuroha can be pretty stubborn about some little things. He listens to me because he respects me and because he knows I am way more experienced than him, but that doesn't mean I can dictate his life."
"What do you mean?"
"Hum, lately I made many decisions on his behalf. At this rate, he will begin to think that I want to use him. This isn't good for me."
"But, teacher I really need his help. I am new here. I don't know the rules. I don't think the vigilantes here will take it kindly if I simply waltz all over them. Also despite all my skills and equipment. I know my limits. I need someone to watch my back."
Milienia nodded before saying,
"I see. OK. I will make a concession for you. I will make him come here. But whatever happens, whether he accepts you or not isn't my problem. OK?"
"Thank you teacher."
She bowed deeply. She wasn't really used to doing so, but now that she was in Japan she would do as they did.
Milienia nodded before taking her phone and dialing his number.

Kuroha was walking toward Mirko appartement when the phone rang again. This time though, he knew who belonged to that number. He even put a special ringing tone just in order to know if it was her.
As he picked up, he answered,
"Hello!! how are you!!?"
Milienia's voice came rather fast,
"No need for protocol. Could you teleport to my location right now?"
----
The moment Kuroha appeared next to Milienia, he looked at the face of the woman without her armor and exclaimed a little in surprise.
"So... it's your true identity? Ferrum Femina."

RedLaw Hum... Milienia is really taking much screen time than most. Even Himiko. Hum... Now I understand what it feels like to lose control of your character. Initially, Milienia shouldn't have been so important. XD
Anyway after this arc, I think I will go back to a little slice of life and school life. It's time for Momo to shine
