The explosion happened in an instant.
When the wall shattered and the scorching flames and high temperature rushed towards them, no one could react in time. But the flames did not reach their target. Soon, a golden barrier appeared out of thin air, blocking the exploding flames, high temperature, and debris.
Fangzheng sat on a chair and looked at the huge hole that had been blasted open behind him with a bored look. As for the others, they were stunned.
"What's going on?"
Even the Patriarchs of the Ten Master Clans were dumbstruck at this moment. They hurriedly arrived before the hole and looked outside. However, what they saw next was completely unimaginable.
On the roofs around the Hakone Hotel, several men in black combat suits were holding portable missile launchers and firing portable missiles at the hotel. Soon, the missiles with white smoke trailing behind them flew towards the hotel. Fangzheng snorted coldly and waved his hand. The next moment, the golden barrier appeared again and blocked the missile attack.
"You're courting death."
But that was obviously not the end.
At the same time the attack was blocked, the air behind Fangzheng began to tremble. Countless sharp blades appeared out of thin air and aimed at the enemies in the distance. With a flash of light, the sharp blades cut through the sky in the blink of an eye, penetrating the limbs of the enemies in the distance and nailing them to the ground.
However, the other party's attack did not stop there. Just as Fangzheng stopped the other party's missile attack, intense flames erupted from beneath the hotel. Following that, the entire hotel collapsed.
The hotel, which was dozens of floors high, fell and disintegrated as if it had been demolished by a directional explosion. The huge cement building fell to the ground, causing a cloud of smoke and dust to envelop the whole street. Not far away, on the originally empty roofs, hundreds of pale-faced people stared blankly at the scene, not knowing what to say.
At the moment the hotel collapsed, Fangzheng immediately locked onto everyone in the hotel and teleported them out of the hotel. Because of this, the guests and staff in the hotel were able to escape the disaster.
The police soon arrived at the scene and began to search, rescue, and evacuate the hotel staff and guests. Of course, Fangzheng and the Ten Masters Clan were no exception.
"Are you really okay? Haruhino-kun? "
"Yes, I'm fine."
Fangzheng comforted Mitsuka Mitsui's uneasy voice.
"You should also tell Mi that Erica and Meiyue don't need to worry. This is just a small problem, not even worth mentioning."
After comforting everyone, Fangzheng hung up the phone, walked up to Katsuhito Juumonji, and silently stared at him.
"Oh, we won't be attacked in the bustling city center, right?"
"Please don't talk about this anymore …"
At this moment, Juumonji's face was as black as coal. Who knew that he would be slapped in the face like this?
"Forget it, it's useless to talk about this now. Has the criminal been caught? What do you know? "
"The criminals have been found, but they are all dead."
"Dead?"
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng pricked up his brows.
"I don't think I killed them."
"Yes, Haruhino-kun, you only pierced their hands and feet and nailed them to the ground. But according to the results of the police's on-site examination, they seemed to have hidden poison in their teeth. When they realized that the situation was not good, they immediately bit the poison sac and committed suicide. "
"That's a pretty old-fashioned way of committing suicide. In other words, these people are not ordinary anti-magicians."
"Yeah … Yeah."
At this moment, Juumonji Katsuhito also nodded with a solemn expression. If it was an attack on the Ten Masters Clan, then it might be an act of a humanist who hated mages, but committing suicide was an entirely different matter. At least, this kind of thing was impossible for ordinary people.
"And from the looks of it, they are all foreigners. We're starting to suspect that it might be a foreign hostile force that is trying to sabotage our country's magicians."
"Oh …."
Fangzheng nodded meaningfully and did not say anything else.
After that, they returned to the headquarters of the Kanto Association of Sorcerers to rest. Fangzheng bade them farewell and left. After all, the situation was a mess. But according to the information obtained from the Ten Masters Clan, it was certain that the light portable missiles used by the enemy were used by the US military during World War III. After the end of World War III, because of the emergence of magic, many weapons used by various countries in war had been sealed up, but some of them had flowed into the black market.
It was still not possible to confirm the identity of these terrorists and their purpose, but for Fangzheng … it did not matter.
Because one day later, the major news organizations received a criminal statement from the terrorists.
"Yesterday, we attacked a hotel in Hakone. The ones who carried out the terrorist attack were us. We are the ones who carried out the holy war to sweep the demonic power of magic from the earth. Yesterday's attack was aimed at the leader of the magicians, the Ten Masters Clan. However, it was a pity that the devil escaped justice. But we will not give up. We will continue to fight to liberate humanity from the hands of the mutant magicians. As long as the Japanese don't exile the magicians, the number of victims will continue to increase. "
When the terrorist's statement was broadcasted on TV, the students of Shinichi High School naturally knew about it.
"I have a bad feeling."
In the club activity room, looking at the army of reporters outside, Mashimi Shichikusa touched her stomach … She had decided to always keep some stomach medicine on her.
"Terrorist attacks are really troublesome. There are already some negative comments about the magicians in society."
"For the average person, it'll obviously make them uneasy to be implicated in an attack because of a magician."
Katsuhito Juumonji also shook his head.
"You're really relaxed."
Mashimi Shichikusa was speechless as she looked at Fangzheng, who was leisurely drinking coffee and reading a book.
"Magicians are greatly affected now. Don't you care?"
"I don't care. Magicians are affected to begin with. It's just that as the young lady of the Ten Masters Clan, it won't affect you."
Fangzheng shrugged.
"And this isn't a bad thing for me. At least for now, my plan for a magic autonomous special zone has received full support. Hmph, the Japanese government's politicians are a bunch of pigs. There's no hope in counting on them. They won't offend their own bank for such a small matter. Besides, from their point of view, it'd be better if all the magicians died. "
Having said that, Fangzheng drank another mouthful of coffee.
"I've already discussed it with the principal. We'll take this opportunity to close the school and start the work of moving to the artificial island."
"Huh? It's done? "
"More or less. The central area is almost finished. Kitayama Industries is quite impressive, unlike those idiot politicians who take half a month to approve a piece of paper."
"…"
Hearing this, Mashimi Shichikusa did not know what to say. The current situation was indeed very troublesome, especially after the terrorists made a statement. Many people and the media did not think that it was the terrorists' fault. Instead, they thought that it was the magicians' fault. This also had a great impact on the students in No.1 High School. Most of the boys expressed anger at the indiscriminate behavior of the media, while the girls were more afraid of the trend of hostility toward magicians in society.
"However, if the world thinks that we chose to escape because we were afraid of them, it will make me very unhappy. So before that, I must let them understand that we magicians did not leave our homeland because we were afraid of those stupid and incompetent idiots."
"What are you doing, Kasugano?"
Seeing Fangzheng put down his coffee cup and stood up, Mashimi Shichikusa felt her stomach begin to hurt again.
"I'm accepting an interview. Isn't that why these reporters are here?"
Fangzheng opened his mouth and revealed a ferocious smile.
"I promise I'll give them a big scoop."
When Fangzheng arrived at the school gate, as expected, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time immediately surrounded him.
"Haruhino-kun, what do you think of this terrorist attack?"
"Was the Special District of Magic project prepared for this?"
"According to the police report, the real identities of the terrorists who attacked the Hakone Hotel are all residents of the US city of Nx. Do you think this has anything to do with the magic disaster caused by Sibo Deep Snow there?"
Faced with the reporters' questions, Fangzheng did not say anything. He just made a gesture, and the reporters quickly quieted down. This was not the first time they had interviewed Fangzheng, so they naturally knew that this young man had a very tough and aggressive personality …. They did not want to step into the muzzle of the other party's gun.
After the reporters had all shut up, Fangzheng looked at them and said with a sneer, "First of all, I want to make it clear that the Special District of Magic project was not prepared for this.
To be honest, in my opinion, the anti-magic atmosphere in Japanese society is already bad enough. This terrorist attack wouldn't make much of a difference. That's why I proposed the Special District of Magic project. Since you're so afraid of coexisting with mages, then we should all go our separate ways. You live your own lives, I'll live mine, and we won't interfere with each other. What's wrong with not interacting with each other? "
"Uh …."
Faced with Fangzheng's merciless mockery, the reporters were a little embarrassed. But soon, someone objected.
"But there are also some people who support mages …."
"That's meaningless."
Fangzheng waved his hand.
"Discrimination against mages is, to put it bluntly, racial discrimination. It's no different from discrimination based on birth, skin color, and race. No matter how hard you try to cover it up, you can't hide its true nature. You keep saying that because mages have great power, you're afraid of them and you're discriminating against them. What's the difference? Wasn't it the same for white people in the past? They're barbaric, rude, and dangerous, so they need to be controlled …. Well, it's useless to talk about this now. Whether you admit it or not, it's the truth. "
At this point, Fangzheng sneered.
"As for that terrorist attack …. Hehehe, are you so sure that it was a terrorist attack?"
"….?"
Hearing this, the reporters' eyes lit up. Listening to Fangzheng's words, there was a hidden meaning …. Could there be big news?
"Use your brains and think about it. Now that the identity of the terrorists has been confirmed, they're not lying when they say they're here to avenge the magic disaster. But the problem is, where did they get the weapons in their hands? The US military base in Yokosuka has been inspected, and no weapons were lost inside. So where did they get the light missile launcher? That thing isn't a pistol; it was brought in secretly. Japan and the United States are separated by the Pacific Ocean. How did they sneak in the weapons without being discovered? "
"This …."
The reporters were also stunned at this moment.
That's right. Now that he said it, it did seem a little strange.
"It's simple. In fact, this isn't a terrorist attack at all."
But soon, Fangzheng threw a bomb at them.
"Not a terrorist attack?"
"That's right."
As Fangzheng spoke, he took out his terminal and opened it. He then pulled up one of the intelligence documents.
"Look, this is an intelligence document I got before. It says that a US congressman privately transferred a batch of sealed weapons to a group of unknown people, so …. Do you understand?"
"This … this … this …"
Looking at the document Fangzheng transferred to their hands, the reporters were shocked.
This was big news!
"What do you mean …?"
"That's right. This is actually a campaign by the US government disguised as a terrorist attack in an attempt to weaken Japan's magic power. This is normal. After all, it's not the first time that Americans have gone to other countries to incite rebellions and create terrorist attacks. Americans just like to do this kind of thing."
Speaking of this, Fangzheng's face darkened.
"But they actually dared to do this to me. That's a different matter. It's impolite not to reciprocate, so …. Onyxia!! "
Following Fangzheng's call, the black dragon descended from the sky and appeared in the sky behind Fangzheng. The reporters were shocked to see the sudden appearance of the dragon. Some of the sharper ones … cursed inwardly!
"Since those terrorists are threatening us, I don't want people to say that I'm afraid of these idiots, so I'll make it clear here."
Saying this, Fangzheng stared at the camera.
"What you've done has constituted a hostile act against Japan and Japanese mages, so I ask you idiots to surrender immediately. You can continue to carry out terrorist attacks, but every time you carry out a terrorist attack, I'll destroy an American military base in retaliation …. You have no proof, so … Onyxia, go and destroy Pearl Harbor."
"— — —!!!"
Hearing Fangzheng's order, the black dragon roared, spread its wings, and flew into the sky. Looking at the back of the dragon flying away, the reporters looked at each other, then turned around and ran away.
This was f * cking serious!!!
