Astrid's smile faded.
It was as if he had cooled down from his frenzied state. He became calm and even indifferent.
Not only Astrid, but the surrounding black-clothed magicians were also enraged. Not only did they release their murderous aura, but they also released their mana.
The atmosphere in the office became heavy and oppressive.
This caused the breathing of all the hostages in the office to become rapid.
"… I don't think this is a good choice, Akabane Clan."
Astrid stared at Rozen. She did not seem to be angry, nor did she seem to care. Only the faint miasma that was being emitted became more obvious.
Rozen's expression remained unchanged from the beginning until the end.
Because …
"After saying so much, in the end, it's just that Rose Division wants me to work for you, isn't it?" Rozen glanced at Astrid. It was unknown whether he found it funny or not. He said, "Bullsh * t. You want me to realize my true value and display my talents. In the end, you're just telling me that I'll fight wherever you want me to, isn't it?"
A very crude and easy to understand summary came out of Rozen's mouth just like that.
However, his words were crude, but his reasoning was not crude.
The reason why Astrid wanted to rope in Rozen was because she wanted to use his power on the battlefield. The so-called "realizing his true value" was relative to her, and had nothing to do with Rozen's personal wishes.
"Don't tell me that my power is only valuable when you think it needs to be used?"
"Could it be that my talent was bestowed upon me by you guys, and I need you to tell me how to use it in order to grow?"
"Even I want to laugh when I hear these words. What do you think others will think?"
Rozen didn't give Astrid the slightest bit of face. As Astrid's expression became more and more unsightly, he spoke as if there was no one else around, as if he was talking to himself.
"Also, don't flatter your Rose Division. You said that you prevented a world war from happening and resisted the domination of the world powers. It sounds so nice, but look at what you've done."
Rozen turned his head and looked out the window. It was as if he was directing everyone's gaze towards the academy's campus, allowing them to see the chaos outside.
"You attacked the academy, attacked the professors and students living in the peaceful campus, destroyed the buildings, hurt the puppeteers, and even used Absolute Royalty to unilaterally control all the automatons, ignoring the automatons' will and the puppeteers' mood, making them all go berserk. What you've done is telling others that you're not on the side of justice."
Perhaps Rozen, who had once single-handedly caused a night of ghosts in Tokyo, was not qualified to say such words.
But …
"Since you're doing what a criminal is doing, you should at least have some self-awareness."
The so-called Rosette Division has completely deviated from justice in the past two thousand years.
Maybe they did want to prevent a world war, but they could do whatever they wanted.
Maybe they did want to resist the world powers, but they could do whatever they wanted.
In short …
"Don't be a whore and still want to set up a memorial arch."
"Terrorists."
Rozen's words made the temperature in the entire office suddenly drop to the freezing point.
The magicians in black had gone beyond anger and entered a state of astonishment.
Even the dean's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe Rozen would say such a thing.
There was no other way.
"Good! Very good! No one has ever dared to talk to me like that! "
Astrid laughed.
The kind that laughed in anger.
Although Rosette Division was indeed not worthy of being called justice, and Astrid also had a consciousness of what she was doing, but who dared to humiliate her like that?
She was the witch of Seth Family, the great witch of the roses, and her position in the Rose Division was undoubtedly the highest. Only the other officer could compare with her, and no one dared to talk to her like that.
In terms of status, Astrid was equivalent to the queen of the underground world.
In terms of strength, Astrid was comparable to Edward Rutherford. Even Raymond Gordon used to be her possession. The dean only took away her possession to become the strongest in the 19th century.
In terms of power, Astrid also held nearly one-third of the entire Rosette Division's military strength. She had a 500,000-strong army under her command, and the black-clothed magicians she brought here were only a part of it.
In terms of fame, although Astrid was not known to the world, her shadow could be found in various major events around the world. It could be said that she was the mastermind behind most of the world-class criminal incidents, which made countless countries' top officials tremble in fear.
It could be said that even the Magician Association wanted to eradicate Astrid, but they didn't have absolute confidence, and they suffered many losses in Astrid's hands.
Such a person could make the dean surrender obediently and suppress the world's top magic academy.
In the face of such a great witch, who dared to be disrespectful, who dared to offend her?
And Rozen did just that, and he not only humiliated Astrid, but the entire Rosette Division was humiliated by him.
Under such circumstances …
"For the sake of your precious talent, I'm magnanimous enough to forgive you. I won't take your arrogant words to heart, and I'll even allow you to walk out of here alive."
Astrid smiled faintly, and the words that came out of her mouth were as such.
"As long as you hand over Raymond Gordon's magic book and give me an arm, let me take it back for analysis and research to make a forbidden doll, then I will forgive you. Presumably, a living body of a talent like you should be able to produce satisfactory research results, right?"
Astrid's words made people shiver, and they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
After all, a witch was a witch. It was impossible for her to let her enemy die so easily. Enjoying the pain of others in various ways was her real style.
Unfortunately …
"If you dared to say such words in front of me in the past, I'm afraid that not even a fragment of you would be left behind. Fortunately, I've become quite broad-minded now, and I don't care about many things as much as before."
Rozen was not angry at all, but showed a meaningful smile to Astrid.
"By the way, I am also a magician who is very good at research, but I don't want your living body at all."
Why?
The reason was simple.
"Even if you take the old woman's living body back for research, it will only be disgusting, right?"
Rozen said casually, and this time, it finally triggered the other party.
"… Very well."
The smile on Astrid's face disappeared for the second time.
Anger surged up his face.
"You're dead."
The horrifying miasma rose sharply.
In an instant, it filled the entire space.
