Enomoto Junko's Point of View -

Hours have passed since meeting with the man named Nii Sho. After parting ways, we headed back to town to explain the situation to our mother. After hearing everything, she asked me if I could say it all again but to the other members of the TEN in an emergency meeting. Without much of a choice, I agreed and waited for the meeting to begin. Finally, after about three hours, all members were collected, and the emergency meeting began.

"Thank you for all coming today. I know you are all busy with your own operations, but I found a serious issue that could alter this world's future. Also, I have some more information about my operation - EXP."

"We understand Number Four; please begin."

"Yeah! I had to temporarily stop my operation today because of this! If this isn't of the most important, you better get ready for a revolt!"

"Number Six, please calm down. The power to call this meeting is special. If one misused this power, they would receive a heavy punishment."

"I know, but... Number Ten, you're angry too, right?"

"Of course! The stupid EXP operation is bogus anyway. My operation is way more important, but now I have to spend time in this meeting! If I could, I would have declined."

"Yeah!"

"Guys..."

"I also agree."

"..."

Each member begins spouted some non-sense. Then, each one begins complaining how this meeting was either important or full of crap. Due to other's influences, some of the members switch sides and started arguing for the other side. Within seconds, the entire meeting hall is noisy, with all but two members yelling back and forth to one another. Are the TEN always like this?

As this continues, one of the members pointed at me and yelled over the entire group.

"And why is this brat is the meeting?! Wasn't there a rule to not bring any outsiders, even if they might be the son or daughter of a member? We should..."

"Alright, everyone, shut up!"

Number One, the strongest and most influential of the members, shouts at all of the members. He then sighs and faces mother.

"Number Four, sorry for the noise. You may now begin."

"Thank you."

Mother, or Number Four, stands up and faces the entire council.

"My fellow members, for now, all I will say is that this information is of the most importance, maybe even against all of our projects. Also, Number One gave me allowed me to bring my daughter under special conditions as she is related to the issue. Therefore, instead of speaking about this topic myself, I will have my daughter speak on my behalf. So, Junko, please rise and share everything you told me."

Mother sits down and faces me. Actually, everyone faces me, both with mean and happy looks. I gulp and stand up. Then, while my legs and voice shake, I give them the information I gathered.

"Y-yes... Approximately twelve hours ago, my sister and I were investigating Guri Forest on behalf of our mother for her project when we encountered some important revelation; however, right before we could examine it, four Triwolves attack us. Normally, no number of Triwolves would be a threat to us, but unlike traditional Triwolves, these wolves were powerful, two or three ranks higher than B-rank monsters."

I take a small exhale and give everyone a look during this pause. Most of them are snoring at the information so far. Even though this piece of information is important, it's none of their business. This is our mother's operation, so no one else cares... I again gulp, continuing from the pause with sweat falling down my face.

"Once we recognized that these monsters were out of our league, we attempted to escape; however, they were too fast and countered us into a corner. They split forces 2v1 while one of them stand-alone watching the scene before him. That's when I noticed that it was the higher tier of Triwolves, Commanding Triwolves. After attempting to fight the wolves, we found ourselves on the verge of death... But, right before the wolves ate us alive, a young boy, who had two different colored eyes, black and white, and half black and white hair, came to our rescue. He..."

Unable to continue listening, one of the members beats the table down and starts shouting at me.

"What?! This meeting was about some weird-looking fellow who happened to save you and your sister? What nonsense! Also, who cares about those wolves? They are part of Number Four's operation, so why do you need to..."

"Number Eight, please shut up and listen."

"Ack?! Uhg... Yes, Number One... Forgive me."

"Sorry about that, Junko-sama... Please continue."

Even more nervous, I give a small nod and continue.

"That b-boy... He was something else. I haven't seen anything like what he did before. At first, I thought it was an illusion; however, everything became so real to me after mere moments. First, he closed the distance of each of the wolves in an instant. I heard him shout a skill beforehand, but my hearing was dulled down due to my blood loss, so I didn't hear what it was. Then, after closing the distance, he attempted to punch one of the wolves, but instead of a punch, it was more like a pressurized slap... Pressure formed from his swing, causing his fist to never touch the wolf's body. Then, the enormous pressure released from his fist, causing a large shockwave. Both the wolf and a semi-circle radius around the boy was evaporated in an instant. All that remained was the boy standing on top of a large crater..."

I decided to pause at this point and give them another look. Unlike before, everyone was glued to me with their faces in disbelief. Before continuing, one of the members started speaking.

"I s-see... If a person can cause that much destruction, it would be important. Although others can cause that much damage, we might have future problems if they are not under someone."

"I also agree, Number Six; however, that isn't all... Right, Junko?"

"Yes, Number Four... He continued defeating all of the wolves with his fists, causing the entire area to disappear. If you had gone there, you wouldn't have thought the place was originally a forest. I did forget some things as I blacked out from my injuries. After down for several minutes, I suddenly awoke back up; however, I was in terror after seeing all of the craters left behind. I thought the boy was a monster who was going to rape and kill me. He notices this and then suddenly placed his hands on the ground while casting a skill - Repair. The entire ground repaired itself within seconds. Then he tried to comfort me, but all I could see in him was a God and a Devil... After calming down a moment, I noticed that all the blood that was on me and my scars were fully healed and clean."

"..."

Everyone's eyes widened after hearing this part. I continued without stop.

"After greeting politely to the boy, he commented my sister. That's when I noticed that she was lying on the ground, covered in blood. I rushed to her side, but it was too late... She had already passed away. As I yelled out her name, the boy came up to us and pushed me away with some amount of force. The boy then did something outrageous. He cast the Revival skill on her."

"!?"

Everyone in the room froze from hearing me. Then, someone breaks free and yells.

"Impossible! There is no way in hell that he used that skill! I can understand if maybe that was all the skills he had, but it is 100% impossible for someone to possess so many skills of that caliber."

"And don't forget, based on what Junko has said, his skills have to be high in level. This all must have taken within a short time. The time a skill works increases as the level increases. If they all happened within seconds, it must be above eight!"

"Yeah! Also, his incredible strength! He must have cast a skill that caused those wind pressures. If they were powerful enough to make large craters, the skill must be high in level too. Maybe this is all just bogus!"

The entire group started yelling at one another again. Number One just shook his head and yelled for everyone to calm down.

"Everyone, silence! I know where you are coming from but let's hear every little detail. Junko, please continue. Give us every single detail."

"Yes, Sir. After the skill activated, my sister's body healed and cleaned itself. Then, my sister returned from the dead. After our reunion, I thanked the boy; however, he was on the ground, his pale fainted and looking in bad shape. He didn't stay like this for long... After five minutes, he came back from his senses and awoke on my sister's lap..."

I didn't tell the part about the lap to mom, so I take a peek at her. She's watching heavily; however, she is crushing the table with her hands. So I look away and continue.

"He began talking normally with us, and nothing major happened. We introduced one another and offered each other assistance in getting home. We decided that we all could go alone, so neither of us decided to accept the help. Departing, we give our goodbyes and separate; however, I noticed something... The boy went in the direction that goes further into the forest. At first, I thought he knew a secret path or the like, but after a couple of more steps, he cast another skill - Teleportation."

"!?"

Most of the members made noise, unable to believe what I said. I also can't... Healing, Teleportation, Revival, Repair... He has all of these skills and has them at high levels. There are no words but to call him a God.

No one decided to speak. I guess everyone learned that there's no point in speaking. Number One sighs and then speaks.

"Thank you, Junko, for giving us this information. But, before I speak, please tell us, is there anything else you know? Perhaps why he was there in the forest or something else?"

"... Yes, I do have something else."

Everyone gulp after hearing me.

"Then, please share it."

"Yes... During our introductions, I asked him why he was here. All he said was that he got launched into the forest and lost his way. Because he said he was lost, I offered to take him home, but... Well, I've already said this part. Also, before I asked him about how he got here, we were talking about the wolves. In that conversation, he talked about his beliefs that the wolves were being empowered by something, making them ranked higher than normal... That's all the information I have to share."

I bow and sit down. Number One then steps up and speaks.

"I s-see... Thank you, Junko, for telling us about the boy. For your help, I'll allow you to stay and listen to the rest of this meeting... I don't need to say this, but this fellow is extremely dangerous to this world and the TEN. He has high-level skills of unknown amounts. He might have all of the skills in the system for all we know! We must take action against him; however, we can't do this all willy nilly. We need to start preparing to either fight him or for him to join us. This will be hard to do... We must treat the boy as an EX-world threat. Also..."

He faces me with a stern look.

"Junko, what I'm able to say is 100% confidential. If you share it with anyone, you will have to die. Understand?"

"Y-yes, Sir!"

"Good."

He faces everyone again.

"I know some of you might have guessed, but this fellow might be within that family - Fukumoto. This family believes that the Gods bless them since they have a skill that allows them to transfer their EXP from one person to another. They are a hidden family that keeps away from all of us. Although they are mainly users of this skill, they are incredibly dangerous. They have backings with other factions for protection. Also, if they wanted to, they could spend their EXP and become incredibly strong. This boy might be part of that family, but instead of doing their goals, he went rogue and spent his EXP. That means he can buy many and many skills. I already believe that the fellow is smart since of the skills Junko spoke of. However, we need to be wary and plan to take action immediately. Also, we are not just fighting with the boy, but with the family since they'll plan to kill the boy somehow."

The leader continues talking about preparation ideas and the importance of killing Sho or turning to our side. Finally, after talking for half an hour, the leader faces me and asks one last question.

"... oh, and Junko, one last question. Do you know the boy's name?"

"Yes..."

I gulp and shout the name of the mysterious boy.

"He is Nii Sho!"
