"You mean, someone actually defeated Shinji Ida in a face-to-face? Are you sure you're not joking? He is an elite with an IP ranking of less than 1,000. If you can defeat him in a face-to-face, even a police officer with an IP ranking of less than 00 can't do it, right?

.”

At the IISO Tokyo branch, a meeting was held urgently. Looking at the information in front of them, many people immediately expressed doubts.

"Moreover, is there anyone willing to become our enemy for those monsters? Well, let me see, for those disobedient brats, we have to kill them as a warning to others."

"Isn't it you who proposed killing the leaders of the children to scare other children? Don't forget that the reason why you can stand here and talk to us is because those children sacrificed their lives on the front line.

A fight to the death.”

"So what? Isn't it right for monsters to fight monsters? Or, after staying with those monsters for a long time, have you also been confused by those monsters?"

"They are just children, they are human beings!"

"No, they are just some monsters, some monsters with the blood of gastrula and the blood of gastrea!"

…

Seeing that the two senior managers were about to quarrel in the conference room, as the top person in charge of the IISO Tokyo branch, General Kusakabe, the director of the IISO Tokyo branch, coughed.

"Quiet! I didn't call you here to make you quarrel. I came here to ask for your opinions."

Looking at the senior officials from various IISO departments sitting in the conference room, General Kusaka asked: "What do you think of the deal proposed by the man named 'Duen'?"

"Of course we refused. If people from other branches knew that we actually compromised with a person who didn't even know his identity and background, wouldn't we still be laughed at?"

"I think that if he really has the strength described in the information, then it is not impossible to consider his words. Anyway, it takes a long time for ordinary children to grow into combat power. In this case, more than a dozen children

Wouldn’t it be cost-effective to get help from a strong person with an IP ranking less than 00?”

"I think your brain is showing off, are you a fool for being a policeman with the top 00 IP ranking? Even in the entire Tokyo area, there is only one police officer ranked 00th. How can such an unknown person have such strength?

"

"Are you saying that Shinji Ida is lying?"

"Who knows? Isn't Shinji Ida your subordinate? Maybe his strength is not worthy of his current ranking."

"you……"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, General Kusakabe couldn't help but have a headache. Both of them were his most proud subordinates, but they never got along because of their personalities. One advocated giving the cursed children more humane treatment, while the other

It is argued that the cursed children are monsters and unstable bombs. Unless they are on a mission, the cursed children should be locked up and guarded.

His words are naturally inclined to the former idea, but the latter represents the ideas of those who have suffered from the gastrula war and the "plundered generations", and there are also factors of those in power. Many things are not what he will do casually.

able to make decisions.

In this regard, he adopted a compromise approach.

"In this case, let me test his strength. If, as Shinji Ida said, he is close to the strength of a policeman with an IP ranking of less than 00, then there is nothing wrong with agreeing to his request."

"After all, we are in urgent need of high-level combat capabilities."

This was the final decision made by the IISO Tokyo Branch meeting.

And Du En, who still knew nothing about all this, had already released all the cursed children from the iron cages.

"Is this really okay?"

On the side, a staff member looked at this scene and muttered softly.

"If you can beat the person, it doesn't matter if you try to disagree."

Shinji Ida stood aside and said indifferently.

"Anyway, I don't want to make unnecessary sacrifices."

On the other side, the policemen who were knocked into the river by Du En climbed out of the water and looked at Du En with hateful eyes.

"Damn it, that guy!"

Compared to the promoters like them, their partners were treated much better. They were just knocked unconscious and fell on the steamboat.

Seeing the children who were prisoners before taking out their supplies from the ship, a policeman couldn't help but said loudly: "That's our food."

Hearing what the policeman said, Du En took out a piece of bread from the box and ate it expressionlessly: "It's ours now."

Weapons and everything else were confiscated by Du En. Without their weapons, ordinary policemen like them couldn't pose a threat to Du En's children with their physical skills alone. Their partners could do it, but -

Looking at the children who had happy smiles on their faces because they got food and were able to fill their stomachs, some of them were just envious.

Once upon a time, they were like these children, running for food, and as long as they could fill their stomachs, they would smile.

However, after becoming an Initiator, everything changed. Not all cursed children can meet a good promoter like Homma Bariya.

For most children, the promoters they meet are not good people. They often abuse them without telling them, and they often don't have enough to eat. How is this different from before joining IISO?

Therefore, when they saw that the children saved by Du En could still smile, they felt sincerely envious.

Du En saw this all in his eyes.

Because the children were still not used to appearing in front of so many people, Reiko took them away, leaving her alone with Du En.

"Well, thank you."

Reiko awkwardly said her words of thanks. She really didn't know how to express her gratitude. If it weren't for Du En, not only her companions would have been taken away today, but she would also have been killed.

Facing absolute strength, a person with no talent like her can only helplessly accept her destiny.

As a cursed child, his fate has already been determined.

Even though he is only nine years old, he has seen so many ugly people and things that he no longer wants to believe them.

But the appearance of Du En changed this.

Can he let himself believe it again?

Reiko didn't know that she was only nine years old and didn't want to think too much. Even at this moment, she had someone willing to protect her.

Time passed slowly, and on the next day, Shinji Ida also gave a reply from IISO.

"In other words, do you want me to fight against a police combination with the top 00 IP rankings? As long as I win, it will prove that I am qualified to trade?"

"That's right." Shinji Ida nodded. If Dun couldn't win, he would probably be killed on the spot. For provoking a large international organization like IISO, you have to pay some price.

"Okay, I agree."

There is nothing to hesitate at all. If you want to build a shelter, this is what you must do.

What's more, Du En is confident in his own strength.

"Come here with your horse."
