In the cold corridor, Noah and Rintarou walked with a pace that seemed leisurely but was actually somewhat hurried, their footsteps clearly audible as they hurried forward.

"President Noah! Rias-kun!"

Ahead, by a door, Miki, dressed in a black sailor uniform, seemed to be waiting for the two. Upon seeing Noah and Rintarou, a look of relief appeared on her face.

"Miki-san!" Rintarou hurried forward.

"What's going on? Why did you suddenly call me to the Ministry of Defense?"

"That's what I want to know too. I only received a message about a commission." Miki extended her hand, signaling Rintarou to calm down, then turned her gaze to Noah.

"From the looks of it, not only 'Kanzaki Civil Security Company,' but 'Fairy Tail' has also received the message, right?"

Noah did not respond, only nodding. After glancing around Miki, he asked,

"Where's Yenju?"

"She stayed at 'Fairy Tail.' I told her to continue her classes." Miki sighed.

"After all, if we're called to the Ministry of Defense, the topics discussed later will surely be the kind that would bore Yenju to sleep."

Noah chuckled wryly but said nothing, passing by Miki and pushing open the door beside her.

What appeared before Noah, Miki, and Rintarou was a meeting room with a long, oval table in the center and a large EL display embedded in the far wall.

"..."

The stifling atmosphere that almost made one unable to breathe appeared almost instantly as Noah opened the door, causing Miki and Rintarou's shoulders to stiffen slightly, and even Noah to frown.

The source of this oppressive, suffocating atmosphere was the numerous people in the meeting room.

There were those dressed in finely tailored suits, clearly upper-class individuals who had not experienced hardship, sitting at the center of the meeting table, with nameplates of various companies in front of them, revealing their identities as representatives of these civil security companies to everyone present.

Around them, a group of people with markedly different attire from the company presidents, lacking uniformity and appearing odd, each holding a black metal-glossy orichalcum weapon, leaned against the walls, exuding a menacing aura.

Undoubtedly, they were the police officers under the command of the company presidents sitting at the meeting table, and also 'Promoters' like Rintarou.

Visible beside these police officers were young girls, around ten years old, similar in age to Yenju.

Clearly, these young girls were the 'Initiators' of the police officers.

"What's going on?" Rintarou unconsciously lowered his voice.

"Why are so many company presidents and their police officers here?"

"Moreover, almost all of them are famous police companies in Tokyo." Miki looked somewhat nervous.

"It seems something big is about to happen."

Noah did not comment further but pushed the door wide open and walked in.

With Noah leading the way, Miki and Rintarou seemed to muster up some courage and followed him into the meeting room.

As the three of them stepped into the meeting room, numerous hostile gazes, like arrows, pierced their bodies from all directions.

"Hey, hey, is this a joke?"

Without giving Noah, Miki, and Rintarou a chance to react, a 'Promoter' among the police officers leaning against the wall deliberately shouted and stepped forward.

He was a man with a muscular build, wearing a tank top, a skull-patterned bandana tied around his mouth, and a large orichalcum sword weighing at least ten kilograms on his back, exuding the aura of a delinquent and a troublemaker.

"What's wrong with the police these days? Are they treating it like a game for kids now?" The delinquent-like man, relying on his muscular build, looked down at Noah and the others.

"There's no place for kids here. Get out now!"

Miki and Rintarou, caught off guard by the trouble, stiffened for a moment, momentarily forgetting how to react.

Only Noah, as if it were nothing new, did not even glance at the delinquent, passing by him and heading towards the meeting table.

"Whoosh——!"

"Be careful——!"

A sharp whistling sound and the alarmed cries of Miki and Rintarou rang out as Noah passed by the delinquent.

Immediately after, the delinquent's angry roar followed.

"Are you deaf? I'm talking to you, brat!"

With this roar, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, the delinquent's fist, carrying a strong wind, mercilessly struck the back of the completely unguarded Noah.

"Bang——!"

However, the next second, the one who flew back with a dull thud was not Noah, but the muscular delinquent, who weighed at least 180 pounds.

"Bang——!"

The large body crashed into the wall of the meeting room, causing it to crack like a spider web.

"Ah——!"

The delinquent, embedded in the wall, clutched his arm, which he had just swung, and screamed in pain.

Upon closer inspection, the delinquent's arm was twisted at an unnatural angle, a direction that a normal person's arm could not bend.

"Shoukan!"

At the meeting table, a police company president dressed in a suit suddenly stood up, his eyes wide with shock as he stared at the delinquent named Shoukan, who was clutching his arm and screaming.

"——!"

The rest of the people in the room, whether the company presidents or the police officers, all focused their gazes on Noah, who stood in place without changing his posture, beads of cold sweat forming on their foreheads.

Only then did Noah raise his head and glance at the screaming Shoukan.

"What's wrong with the police these days? Even a guy with only muscles and no brains can get in?"

The room fell silent.

"You... you bastard!"

No, not everyone was silent.

Shoukan, clutching his seemingly broken arm, struggled to stand up, his eyes filled with rage and murderous intent, staring at Noah.

"I'll kill you! I'll definitely kill you!"

Almost no one doubted Shoukan's words.

Including Noah.

Among the over 700,000 police combinations in the world, there were certainly those who adhered to their principles and had good combat awareness, but there were also belligerent individuals looking for trouble and criminals using the police to hide their crimes, including many delinquents.

Noah, knowing this, did not hold back, especially since it was the other party who started the trouble.

Just as Shoukan was about to charge forward, he was stopped by a young girl.

"Mr. Shoukan, please calm down!"

The young girl, standing in front of Shoukan and blocking him, wore a simple long-sleeved dress and tight pants, with a pair of bright, spirited eyes that gave off a cold feeling.

"Do you want to stop me, Natsuki?" Shoukan's eyes turned fierce.

"Don't forget your place!"

"Please calm down, Mr. Shoukan." The young girl, apparently Shoukan's 'Initiator' named Natsuki, unexpectedly calmly said,

"He is the president of 'Fairy Tail'—Noah Dola."

Shoukan's expression immediately froze.
