After completing their job, Erend and Billy met Adrien who was leading his own troop on the other side of the military headquarters.
They both immediately explained what Thomas had said to their Captain...
Hearing this explanation, Adrien couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"We can't just let him go unwatched," Adrien asked.
"What are you suggesting, Captain?" Billy asked.
"We must consult with General Lennard and ask him to deploy personnel to monitor Conrad's activities." Adrien looked at the two of them with a firm gaze. "Or, we could have Conrad locked up."
Billy bit his lips. "Does we have to go that far?"
Adrien shrugged. "You can see for yourself what he did."
"But General Lennard is also related to what Conrad did before. How about he helps Conrad again?" Erend spoke this time.
"If he dares to do that again then we have to act to stop him," Adrien said firmly. "I don't want that to happen again."
Adrien still remembers the faces of his daughter and wife when he returned to his house after fighting the Chaos God. If Conrad can use Magic again maybe he can attract another problem from another dimension.
Hearing what he said, Erend and Billy exchanged glances.
Then Billy shrugged. Feeling that what Adrien said really had to be done. Erend also agreed with his words but didn't say anything.
Basically this world defender is him. And he felt capable of doing that - hurting someone who wasn't that close to him - to maintain it.
"I agree," Erend said.
"Let's talk to the General now," Adrien got up from his chair.
"Isn't General Lennard busy now, sir?" Billy asked.
"Yes. But this problem can't wait or we could be late."
Hearing that, Billy sighed and immediately stood up. Erend stood up a moment later and they left the room they were using for the discussion.
Fortunately, the General was already in his room and hadn't had time to go anywhere. The three of them knocked and opened the door. When Krtika the General saw that it was the three of them who had met him, he frowned.
"What problem did you bring up this time?" General Lennard asked.
"It looks like you already know that we will bring trouble if we meet you, sir," Adrien replied with a smile.
"What else will you bring except trouble?" said the General tiredly. "Sit down."
The three of them sat in front of General Lennard and started saying what they wanted to say. For several minutes General Lennard listened with rapt attention.
When they finally finished what they wanted to say, the General nodded his head.
"It is indeed something concerning," said General Lennard.
"Without disrespect, sir. You also played a role in the experiment involving Conrad and luring the entity from another dimension," Adrien said firmly while looking at the General. He didn't seem afraid even of the possibility that General Lennard might be snapped for his rudeness.
General Lennard didn't seem to like Adrien's tone. However, he didn't say anything in reply. General Lennard knows better that he is indeed guilty.
"You're right," said General Lennard. "Don't worry. I don't intend to do something like that again. I think Magic has had enough problems. Our world is not suited, or maybe not ready, for that power."
"I'm glad we're on the same page, General," Adrien said with a sigh of relief.
"Yeah. Okay. I will send people to monitor him and will report it to you if I find anything. You are the people who contributed to saving this country, after all."
Hearing the General's words, the three of them were a little surprised. However, what he said was not too far from what they expected. The three of them realized their service to this country and its people.
"Thank you, General. We'll go home for now." Adrien stood up and said goodbye to General Lennard. After that, he, Erend, and Billy left the room.
As soon as they left General Lennard immediately took the phone and called someone. He intends to immediately do what he promised the three of them without delaying too long.
On the other hand, the person who is the object of their worries is alone in his room.
His body was covered in a thin silver aura that only looked like smoke coming out of his heated body. While in fact, it was the effect of him meditating to retrain his Magic.
His progress has been good. Amazing, even. He had almost reached his previous stage when he had not yet lost his Magic.
But Conrad no longer wants to mess with his Magic. Because all he does is create chaos in this world.
Eliriel, she is his sole purpose now. She cuts off her contact from him, making Conrad on the verge of despair because of longing.
Conrad opened his eyes. His vision is blurry. It was a constant state that he always found himself in after completing the meditation because his mind was exhausted.
Conrad was used to it. He just considered it as just an inconvenience.
He got up from his bed then headed for the bathroom. After finishing washing himself he lay down on his bed, staring at the ceiling.
He wants to go back to meditation to train his Magic to get stronger. But, if he forced his mind to do it again while it was still exhausted, Conrad knew there would be consequences that he would have to suffer.
'I have to meet them.'
Conrad then got up from his bed and took his phone. He contacted someone he had never contacted, driven by his desire.
"Hello? Who is this?" Erend answered his call.
"Sergeant Drake, this is me, Conrad."
Silent occur for a few moments. Conrad waited patiently. He knows that Erend on the other side is wondering why he called him.
"Can I help you?" Erend finally replied.
"Yes. Acually, I'm in need of your help."
"What is it?" Erend asked in an anticipating tone.
"Let's meet to talk about this."
