Thank you very much to 'Sky Asuna' for the 1888 reward! And also to 'Qi Guan Xuan Qi', 'Luo Shao Yu', 'Ice·Moon Shadow', 'Pianyan~Eternal', 'LeeMineMine', 'Jing Xin Heng Yue', and 'Fiery Red Eyes s Silent' for your rewards!
Is Noah's actions harmful to the world?
This might seem like an exaggeration, but Noah understands why Sei-Tenno said this.
In this desperate era, even with the existence of rhodium, which can suppress the regeneration of the Entozoa, humans are barely surviving in their battles against the Entozoa, avoiding complete annihilation.
In such a situation, the police officers who can fight against the Entozoa, formed by partnerships of 'Initiators' and 'Promoters', are the last hope for this world.
It is said that the most powerful 'Initiators' can even influence the entire world's military landscape!
From this, it is clear how important the 'Cursed Children', who are the predecessors of the 'Initiators' and possess abilities comparable to the Entozoa, are.
However, the existence of 'Fairy Tail' has caused a sharp decline in the number of 'Initiators'.
"I heard that the 'International Initiator Supervisory Organization (IISO)' approached 'Fairy Tail', hoping that 'Fairy Tail' would provide 'Cursed Children' to be used as 'Initiators' and assigned to police officers as partners, but Mr. Noah refused, right?" Sei-Tenno's expression was very serious.
"To be frank, Mr. Noah, by doing this, you are preventing many police partnerships capable of fighting the Entozoa from being formed, indirectly causing us to lose a significant amount of the strength needed to combat the Entozoa. Do you know that?"
Upon hearing this, Noah began to understand Sei-Tenno's intentions.
"So, Sei-Tenno, you want to persuade me?" Noah looked at Sei-Tenno with a half-smile.
"You plan to make me compromise, to provide the people of 'Fairy Tail' for you to manipulate and form these so-called police partnerships?"
"Mr. Noah, I heard that you also obtained a police license a year ago but refused the 'Initiator' partner assigned to you by the 'International Initiator Supervisory Organization (IISO)', right?" Sei-Tenno asked sincerely.
"Why did you do that?"
"Why?" Noah glanced at Kikuchi Kudou, closed his eyes, and a cold smile appeared on his face, one that was hard to see a year ago.
"Because I strongly oppose the practice of treating children as tools and distributing them随意地!"
Sei-Tenno was slightly taken aback and then fell silent.
"Sei-Tenno, I believe you cannot be unaware of the purpose behind my establishment of 'Fairy Tail', right?" Noah looked directly at Sei-Tenno.
"To be honest, if the 'International Initiator Supervisory Organization (IISO)' conducted strict evaluations of the police officers who needed 'Initiators', I would have no objections. However, what surprised me is that the 'IISO' does not even investigate the character and personality of the police officers who need 'Initiators'. Essentially, as long as they are police officers, they will be assigned 'Initiators'."
"Exactly!" Noah took a step forward, his dark, deep eyes meeting Sei-Tenno's like arrows.
"For them, it doesn't matter how the children are treated or how their police partners treat them. As long as they can form police partnerships and fight the Entozoa, everything else is irrelevant!"
"I established 'Fairy Tail' to prevent children from being subjected to cruel treatment and discrimination, so they can live like ordinary people!" Noah's voice echoed throughout the hall of the Holy Residence, reaching the ears of Sei-Tenno and Kikuchi Kudou.
"Therefore, I cannot accept the 'IISO's' approach, which completely disregards the mistreatment of children by their nominal partners, and I have refused them!"
"But your refusal is truly harming the entire world and humanity!" Before Sei-Tenno could speak, Kikuchi Kudou coldly interjected.
"Can you bear the responsibility for the extinction of humanity?"
"Responsibility?" Noah laughed, a laugh filled with irony.
"Then, in the eyes of Kikuchi Kudou, the 'Cursed Children' do not count as a crime no matter how they are abused to death, right?"
Those people are just monsters, demons that destroy the world, not human beings!
If they are not human, killing them all is not a crime!
These thoughts resonated in Kikuchi Kudou's mind after hearing Noah's words.
However, Kikuchi Kudou did not say them aloud, only staring at Noah with a cold gaze that could pierce through him.
Noah sneered and redirected his gaze to Sei-Tenno, who was somewhat speechless.
"Regardless of where they are, people seem to call the police partnerships formed by 'Initiators' and 'Promoters' the last hope of the world, but to me, this is nothing more than a joke!"
In front of the two highest rulers of the Tokyo region, Noah coldly stated this.
"Speaking of the 'Cursed Children' as the last hope of the world with one's mouth, while treating them like garbage that can be swept away at will, humans are truly a foolish species that loves to execute 'contradictions' thoroughly and shoot themselves in the foot."
This time, not only Sei-Tenno, but even Kikuchi Kudou was speechless.
Noah's lips curled in boredom as he took a stack of papers from his coat and threw them on the table in front of Sei-Tenno.
"This is..." Sei-Tenno and Kikuchi Kudou simultaneously looked at the papers in front of them, then they were stunned and surprised.
"Personal data of 'Initiators' and 'Promoters' in police partnerships?"
"These are the records of 'Fairy Tail' personally reviewing police officers and assigning 'Cursed Children' from within our organization to qualified police officers to form partnerships!" Noah glanced at Kikuchi Kudou, as if challenging him.
"Regardless of whether I bear the responsibility for the extinction of humanity, 'Fairy Tail' will not bury the true hope of this world. We have schools, hospitals, and living quarters for the children, and even a specialized training institution for children who want to become combatants, training them to become qualified 'Initiators'!"
"Many of the 'Initiators' on this list are active; a slight investigation will confirm this!" Noah spoke calmly in front of Sei-Tenno and Kikuchi Kudou.
"I believe that the 'Initiators' who come from 'Fairy Tail' will not be inferior to other 'Initiators', and this is the reason why the 'International Initiator Supervisory Organization (IISO)' has compromised and recognized our self-assignment of 'Initiators' within our organization!"
With that, Noah turned around.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
Sei-Tenno and Kikuchi Kudou were both silent.
Noah walked out of the hall under their silent gazes.
The hall of the Holy Residence was silent, with no words spoken for a long time.
