Chapter 174: Change 20
Before that, I heard that the girl over there has an ability to scan a humans body? Is that right?
Anastasia that tried to be forgotten was suddenly called by Jorden. Her body flinched a little and she slowly looked at Jorden.
When she saw Jorden, she was terrified by his crazy smile, the smile that he often had on his face when he was interested in something.
A-aa She couldnt even say anything because she was scared.
She averted her gaze to the right, but she met Mischas face that was also looking at her.
Hmm? Mischa asked as she tilted her head, Is that true? You can scan a humans body?
Mischas tone was kind. Anastasia looked at Mischa as if she met her savior and smiled wide.
Y-yes!
If Melaine was here, she would certainly notice Anastasias expression as that of a fangirl. Naomi would also surely notice it, but if Naomi was here, Anastasia would surely grovel on the ground again, begging for forgiveness.
Mischa didnt know how to react. She also noticed the change in Anastasias expression.
Is that so? Thats a really useful ability. Said Mischa. She then looked at Jorden again, avoiding Anastasias gaze.
Oh! Princess had told me about it, to think that your ability is Scan! Hey girl, want to be my assistant? Jorden extended his hand to Anastasia, inviting her.
Anastasia looked at Jorden warily, she was afraid of the mad scientist. Jordens gaze was full of passion, he loved science and research.
Jorden saw Anastasia try to dodge his gaze, so he leaned his face closer, right in front of Anastasia, and asked again.
How about it, girl?
Hii!! Anastasia screamed and raised her hands, shoving Jordens face away from her. Y-Youre too close!
Oh! Forgive me. Jorden said as he pulled away and sat on the couch again, with his legs crossed. I am too enthusiastic. I wanted an assistant for a long time, to think that I will find someone with the perfect ability in this place! Princess really understand me!
D-did she really takes me here to be your assistant?! Anastasia who was scared now became more terrified.
She guessed that she would become a hostage to get money from her parents, but she never imagined that Naomi would take her to the base to be the mad scientist's assistant.
I believe thats the case. Princesss wisdom is unlimited, we cant know what she thinks! With an overflowing vigor, Jorden had a big smile on his face as he spread his arms.
Mischa who saw Jordens antics just smiled wryly. She had known Naomi for more than a year, and surely, she knew that Naomi would never act without thinking.
However, seeing Naomis subordinate put their trust in Naomi was new to Mischa. She never expected that Moon of Akasha, the organization that was led by Naomi, would trust Naomi unconditionally.
At first, she thought that Moon of Akasha only planned to use Naomi, she was wrong. She was planning to observe the situation by staying with Naomi. If she found out that Moon of Akasha was planning to use Naomi, she would tell Naomi about it.
What she found out was the opposite though. Naomi was the center of the organization. The organization wouldnt be able to operate without Naomis command. She was their leader, their boss, as well as their hope.
Even the scientist like Jorden that was able to undo her brainwashing, trusted Naomi unconditionally. Once again, she remembered Melaines word about Naomi.
Ive been underestimated Naomi a lot, I guess thats true.
Mischa looked at Anastasia and saw her trembling. She put her hand on top of Anastasias, getting her attention, and said.
I think you should think about it carefully. Ah, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Mischa Belyaeva, nice to meet you.
Eh? Anastasia gasped. Mischa Belyaeva, as in the SSS-Ranked Esper? Why are you here? Wait, when I look at you closer, you are similar to Mischa!
As Mischa had expected, Anastasia didnt know that she was Mischa. Anastasia was a student from Avos School, she mustve attended the orientation.
Maybe Anastasia was in a state of panic, that was why she didnt realize that the one who sat beside her was Mischa Belyaeva.
Yes, thats why I think you need to think about it carefully. Moon of Akasha, the organization that Naomi led is not as bad as you think.
But they are terrorists?! Anastasia raised her voice, And that girl, Akasa Naomi? Shes their leader! She pointed her index finger at Jorden that sipped his tea.
Jorden chose to stay silent and let Mischa do what she did. It was better to leave a girl in a girls hand, he knew about it from Chi.
He could also trust Mischa in that, as Mischa's words would be more believable to the girl.
They are not a terrorist anymore. They are now an organization under Naomi, and shes appointed as Lieutenant-General in Germany. In other words, Moon of Akasha has been recognized as a Military organization from Germany.
Thats a lie right? Anastasia, the girl also came from Europa, Finland. She knew the might of Germanys Military.
And Mischa told her that Naomi had been appointed as Lieutenant-General in the Germany Military.
Shes a Lieutenant General?! I-I need to ask her for forgiveness! But how?
Anastasias brain worked at a fast speed to find a way to get Naomis forgiveness. She then remembered the man, the mad scientist in front of her.
She gulped a little and looked at Jorden.
U-umm, if I become your assistant, does that mean I will join the Moon of Akasha? She asked with uncertainty.
Mischa was relieved that the girl was finally able to keep her calm again and asked Jorden. The girl was free to choose, she didnt want to restrict the girls decision.
I will not let other people to be caged. I alone am enough to experience that life where I couldnt choose anything. She thought as she nodded her head a little.
Jorden smiled at Anastasia and answered.
Of course! You, my assistant, would be working under me, the research team of Moon of Akasha!
Anastasia gulped once again, she clenched her fists, and then she said.
I-In that case I will become your assistant!
That way, that girl will forgive me and let me keep my life! I will choose to suffer instead of being killed.
Her gaze steeled, and Jorden was happy. He spread his arms, approached Anastasia, and hugged her.
Ooh!!! Welcome to the team, my assistant! Tell me your name!
Anastasia that was hugged suddenly had a panic attack. She couldnt think clearly, so she blurted out her name.
A-Anastasia Morlan.
Jorden released Anastasia and then sat on the couch again.
Anastasia was still in a shocked state. Her mouth gaped and frozen in a smile.
Mischa who saw her expression smiled a little, she thought that Anastasia was happy that Jorden accepted her as his assistant.
Well then, I almost forgot about it, its about my ability. Said Jorden as he looked at Mischa.
Mischas attention turned to Jorden again and listened quietly.
I call my ability Erase.
