The Degree

The Degree
The Blueeast


Cars that look like military vehicles but have a length like a bus surround.


The rough estimate of the car was able to accommodate forty people, and there were fifty cars similar to it.


Most likely Blueeast raised two thousand men to fight while the rest of its members might already be on standby elsewhere.


From one of the cars came out a young man with dark red hair who was almost black. The eyes that were usually always sleepy he no longer had. The highlight of the eyes he had right now was sharp and furious.


At his side was a man wearing a tailcoat and white gloves.


Both of them walked leading towards the tallest building and were in complete disarray.


The two men are the Order of Maguire, and the vice-chairman of the Blueeast, Sebastian.


“It seems there is someone up there.” Sebastian used his hand to banish the sunlight until he was able to look up without any problems.


“Yes. Same person who shot earlier.” The Order knows very well that the person up there has no intention of starting a fight, but he needs to be on guard, “This is for our security.”


Sebastian nodded and immediately clapped his hands twice. The people hiding in the car got out in a hurry.


Some wear military uniforms like grey bulletproof vests. Using an iron helmet and bulletproof glass around the face. Guns with long barrels in their hands and full of readiness.


Some people just wear bulletproof vests. Although not a weapon with a long barrel, and only ancient weapons such as swords and others. These people seem more dangerous.


Four men who were two meters tall and large-bodied took steps to barricade the Order and Sebastian. In their hands are ready special glass to prevent bullets.


Super tight security. Only a fool would attempt to carry out an attack on such an army.


“It may seem a little excessive.” Sebastian chuckled as he tightened his gloves.


“Ya, however this is also suitable for bluffing.”


A few meters from the building. The order stopped its advance, and at once the standing army did the same.


He stared up at the building at the man who looked neither afraid nor daunted after seeing his Innate troops.


The Order concluded two things. Either he had no fear at all because he had no hostile intentions, or he also had an army waiting for him.


“Are you a friend or an opponent? Tell me the truth or this building will be shot down.”


“If I mention that ‘I am the enemy' you will not let me go, but if I say otherwise is there any guarantee you will not catch me?”


The Order did not expect such an answer. He should only have to answer his position of friend or foe, but that person had the guts to say it.


“It depends on what you will do after.”


“That means if I do one suspicious thing then you will be hostile to me. That means there is no guarantee that I will truly survive, yes.”


The order furrowed its brows. That person had greater guts than he expected.


“Do not stall. Say what you really want to say.”


Although from a distance the Order knew the man was showing his smile. It was as if that sentence was the thing he was looking forward to.


“It will be fast, but earlier I will make sure that I am not your enemy.”


The Order wants to oppose this. No one foolish enough will believe the words of a stranger.


If he lived such a life then the Order would never be in his current position.


“It ... Terumi's? What's he doing there?” Bastian doesn't understand the situation. Indeed, he remembered very well that Terumi had not attended the meeting before.


He had wondered what the reason was but in fact the woman was in the CTKP earlier than them.


“Master Sebastian! Please take care of Leo there. I'm sure at least he's alive!”


No doubt the voice belonged to Terumi. Without any engineering.


“So so. Indirectly he said that the one who expelled the Rebellion guild was him. It seems this guy is smart, he has a certain purpose.”


The Order was easily able to guess that the end of this conversation was a negotiation.


He wanted to reject it because it was like he was dancing in the palm of his hand, but there were things he could not immediately let go of.


“Sebastian. Find Leo and take care of him. We must not lose valuable combat power in the current situation.”


Sebastian nodded and left immediately. He brought in two people who could provide first aid.


The order looked back at the man standing at Terumi's side with interest.


“Because Terumi is with you, and the fact that you're still alive proves that you're not the one he's going to kill. Why don't you come down here?”


The Order had no intention of hurting him, yet he was quite curious about his face. The person's face is difficult to see from a long distance, although he is able to recognize Terumi because of her distinctive voice.


“Unfortunately can't because we have injured people here. The way down to the bottom is so complicated that it is impossible to do it.”


“True, chairman. We managed to save the head of the Redwest guild, but his condition was bad to such an extent! If you can please send us a nurse team!”


The order was surprised because of that. The purpose of coming here was for Erina and if the woman was with them then there was no need to do anything stupid.


Although there was a possibility that it was a lie, but Terumi was not such a person. Other than that ...


The order looked around him. There were quite a number of injured people including corpses scattered about. None of the bodies were Redwest guild members because they were identical to the plain red logo on his clothes.


“These people are supposed to be members of Rebellion. That means the abandoned Leo becomes the bait while the two men infiltrate. This is the most likely tactic.”


The Order believed that there were no lies in their words. The situation was already inside his head so he did not hesitate.


“Capture those who are still alive and collect their bodies in one place.”


“Ya!”


“The four of you also help them. I'll go up there.”


The four people barricading himself immediately nodded and did his orders. The Order walked towards the building alone and observed its height.


“It's quite high. Four-story building.” The order tries to calculate how high it is.


“What are you doing, chairman?” Terumi exclaimed out of curiosity. He stared too far down so he could fall. But the man with her immediately pulled her shoulder


“You could have fallen. Everything will be troublesome.”


The order ignored their conversation and began to stretch its body.


”Let's start.”


The action he took next was enough to give a surprise to Terumi and the man he was with.
