Akash paused, his eyes narrowing.
He slowly lowered his hand, the mana dissipating in crackling sparks.
"…Who?" he asked, without turning.
"Arthur Gravestone."
"Headmaster?" Akash turned back, his gaze sharpening. "Why are you here?"
"Don't kill him. We can use his body for experiments." The Headmaster began walking toward them, supported by a staff. Behind him, several other staff members followed closely.
"Like I'll let you use this body," Plus One's tone was almost mocking, despite his featureless face.
Akash turned to face him, eyes blazing. "Shut the fuck up. Don't interrupt us, you shitty artificial entity."
Just then, the S-rank support squad entered PA-4. "Where are the enemies?" one of them, a man with glasses wearing a red coat and pants, asked.
Akash's narrowed eyes fixed on them. "Where the hell were you all when this chaos was happening?" His mana pressure crushed down on everyone in the room.
