Chapter #26: [POWER DIFFERENCE]

[Soul Exchange – in Process: 15 Minutes Left]

I looked at my phone, now displaying the time required for the Ticket Pass to complete the process. It seems that it isn't instantaneous as I expected.

I looked at Miyanase.

"We still need to wait 15 Minutes.", As soon as I said those words, gone were her attention on my phone. Her eyes were instead replaced with excitement and her body trembled, joyful at the prospect of being able to live again.

I sat at the ground, looking upwards the thundering skies. I sat motionless, in a trance as I wait for the process time to finish. Sometime, I felt Miyanase also sit besides me.

Giving out a sigh, I look at my phone once more.

[13: 15]

[13: 13]

Only over 1 and a half minutes?!

Alright, this is taking too long. I know that I'm getting impatient but... Something just tells me that I need to finish this much more faster.

"... I didn't expect for you to be here already.", A familiar voice echoed behind us, making me and Miyanase turn around. Looking about, it appears that it was the old man whom I had talked before at LightWays Media.

Something about him feels quite off though...

"It appears that you're also here for 'that'.", He said.

"Yes, but not that 'thing' you have in your mind.", I replied to him, good thing that I was able to equip my mask before turning around.

"Enemies and friends always meet in some ways. Which one are you?", He asked, his gaze never leaving my figure.

"I do what I want to do. I don't put any fucks about any of your squabbles.", I let out, scoffing at his question.

Well, this is one way to pass the time. I know that he has something in mind, so I gotta distract him enough for the Soul Exchange to finish.

"You don't give any shits? Then why did you heal the Union earlier?", He asked, raising an eyebrow at me.

I looked at my side for a moment, before answering him.

"If I didn't, would they survive and would I be here?"

In response, he grinned and then chuckled.

"Ahhh... So it's just a matter of convenience for you then.", He said.

"Exactly."

He chuckled once more.

"Very well then, you're neither our ally or truly our enemy. However, since you're standing in the way right now, I'll consider you as an opponent.", He said, before summoning in his Signaling Magic.

Three magic circles immediately appeared in the ground in front of him.

"Oh my, my, it looks like someone already got here before us. And here we thought we're quite early too, what a shame."

"A masked man? Boo! That's no fun! Take it out and let me see!"

"Hmph... Another fool who dares to stand in our way."

Calmness, idiocy, and arrogance. Their opening speeches immediately gave away their personalities.

The three were quite short, about 5'4" and wore similar faces and similar black hair color, which matched their all black tuxedo outfit. However, I could still tell the difference from their eyes. The calm one has blue eyes, the idiot has yellow, and the arrogant has red.
