Hiraga Reisen didn't cause any trouble, but Drake didn't think he was someone who would endure it. There was only one reason why he would be honest, and that was that he was planning something bigger.
But the cocktail party continued, and Drake became familiar with these elite Japanese Blazers.
Not to mention the others, Yakushi Kiriko, this top doctor, surprised Drake quite a bit.
How should he put it? As a water mage, Yakushi Kiriko could use her ability to sense all the structures of the human body, and even accurately analyze the various hormone levels in the human body.
It could be said that she alone could be compared to the inspection equipment of an entire hospital.
Most importantly, perhaps because of that Device that could completely transform her body into water vapor, Yakushi Kiriko had even touched the research field of the soul.
Her views on the connection between the body and soul from a doctor's perspective benefited Drake a lot.
And the knowledge that Drake had accumulated from traveling through several worlds also made Yakushi Kiriko very interested. The two chatted until the cocktail party was about to end, and they still hadn't had enough, agreeing to continue to explore later.
Just as the cocktail party was about to end, Drake received a communication.
Drake looked at the information on the screen, frowning. After saying something to Stella, Drake walked towards another room.
Knocking on the door, Drake heard a gentle voice, and then Drake pushed the door open and walked in.
It was hard to imagine that such a gentle voice belonged to the person who had planned the attack on Hagun Academy, publicly challenging the Alliance and even hiring terrorists.
Japanese Cabinet Minister - Tsukikage Bakuya. Drake finally met this powerful person who controlled a country.
Surprisingly, the man in the well-fitting suit didn't have a strong aura. Instead, he looked very approachable.
The huge window in the room faced the banquet hall. Tsukikage Bakuya had been observing the future of the Japanese Blazers here just now.
There wasn't only one person in the room. Shinomiya Kurokane was also on the side. The message just now was sent by her to Drake, hoping that he would come to meet Tsukikage Bakuya.
Drake looked at Shinomiya Kurokane's gloomy expression, and then said to Tsukikage Bakuya, "Mr. Tsukikage, this should be our first meeting, right? I wonder why you specifically asked me to come here."
The one who spoke first wasn't Tsukikage Bakuya, but Shinomiya Kurokane. She said coldly, "The person you wanted to find has already been found. Now, Minister, you should explain what you're thinking?"
Drake also understood that the reason why Shinomiya Kurokane was with Tsukikage Bakuya was to ask about the purpose of his series of actions.
As for things like taking back the Blazers' education rights from the Alliance, it was fine for the uninformed public to believe it, but anyone with a little vision knew that it was an excuse.
To achieve this goal, Tsukikage Bakuya could have used other more gentle and more effective methods.
The right to education itself wasn't even sensitive. Even if Japan made a request openly, it was very likely to be accepted.
But Tsukikage Bakuya took action in a way that was almost a declaration of war, even colluding with Rebellion at great risk. No matter how he thought about it, it was impossible to explain his motives.
Tsukikage Bakuya stretched out his hand, making a pressing motion, appeasing the excited Shinomiya Kurokane, turning his head to Drake, saying, "Ryumei Academy exchange student, Drake-kun, I've been looking forward to this meeting for a long time.
Don't be so wary. I don't have any malice towards you."
Drake laughed instead, saying, "I'm not wary. I can feel that Mr. Tsukikage isn't a Blazer who is good at fighting, and with the headmaster here, nothing unexpected will happen.
I just don't know why Mr. Tsukikage wanted to find me. Whatever you're planning and whatever purpose you have has nothing to do with me. Of course, I'm not interested in those things at all."
Tsukikage Bakuya didn't expect Drake to be so direct. Even Shinomiya Kurokane on the side was a little embarrassed.
However, Tsukikage Bakuya quickly adjusted, smiling, saying, "That's precisely why I can tell you things with peace of mind."
Black lines appeared on Drake's forehead!
Wait a minute, let him sort it out. He had already said that he wasn't interested in those things, but you still wanted to say it. What did that mean?
Wasn't his meaning clear enough? Was he someone who liked to gossip? He just hated trouble.
Although he didn't know what Tsukikage Bakuya was planning to say, it was obvious that it would be a very troublesome thing.
Sensing Drake's attitude, Tsukikage Bakuya said, "Please listen to me until the end, because this matter may also have something to do with you.
Drake-kun should have some understanding of the current world situation, right?"
Drake wanted to turn around and leave directly, but Tsukikage Bakuya's words made Drake stop.
Sighing, Drake said, "So it's a big deal that concerns the entire world?"
Tsukikage Bakuya continued, "The reason why this world can maintain peace is because the Alliance, the Union, and Rebellion have reached a stable balance.
But this balance may soon collapse."
Drake frowned, saying, "Collapse? Is there a problem with one of the three major powers?"
Tsukikage Bakuya nodded, saying, "That's right. Do you know that the reason why the three major powers have become a pole in the world is because of their huge size?
But more importantly, each of the three major powers has an existence that is a breaker-class Blazer, which can be said to be the pillar of the three major powers.
The Alliance's , the Union's , and the , who has reigned over the dark world since the Second World War and is now the leader of Rebellion.
And the factor that will lead to the collapse of power is something that no one can resist, and that is lifespan."
Drake immediately understood what Tsukikage Bakuya meant.
Even if Blazers had abilities and could do many things that ordinary people couldn't imagine, they were still human and were still subject to the limitations of lifespan.
Even someone like had the same limitations.
The existence of powerful abilities and magic power had extended his lifespan, but this Blazer had lived for nearly one hundred and fifty years, and could be said to be like a candle in the wind, likely to die from exhaustion of lifespan at any time.
Without , Rebellion would no longer be able to maintain cohesion and deterrence, and disintegration would be inevitable.
Drake also knew very well that among the three major powers, Rebellion was always closer to the Union. That meant that the Union was likely to absorb Rebellion, and the power balance with the Alliance would be completely lost.
Then it was obvious what would happen next. A world-class war could very well break out.
Drake said, "So that's why you're doing these things. You want to have Japan leave the Alliance and then join the Union?"
Tsukikage Bakuya nodded, saying, "Although the process is different, that's generally it. Only in this way can I protect this country."
Drake frowned. Although he understood Tsukikage Bakuya's desire to protect his homeland, it didn't mean he agreed with his approach.
In the last war, Japan, as the defeated party, hadn't lost too much sovereignty, and had even developed after the war. It could be said that it was all because of the Alliance.
But now Tsukikage Bakuya wanted to stab the Alliance in the back. It could only be said that this country's style was as always.
Thinking of this, Drake's tone became colder, saying, "So what's the use of finding me? I'm not even a formal disciple of Ryumei Academy. How could I do anything in such a big event?"
Tsukikage Bakuya shook his head, saying, "I'm not going to let you know these things to bet on some possibility, but because I actually saw a certain scene."
