91 Chapter-90 Strike Back pt-2
(A/N:-Alright, in this chapter, Erik will flex a tiny bit, it gets boring to always write about a mannered and restrained Erik.)

'The Invulnerable One'
As called by the students, Erik has a large following within the school.
He is the president's fiance.
Not to mention that in terms of status, even the "Big-three" are required to be respectful.
Now that he was standing in front of her, she couldn't help but feel intimidated, his stature didn't help at all.
---
"May I?" (Erik)
Erik extends his hand towards Mibu and motions for her to hold his hand.
"A-Alright..." (Mibu)
Even though Mibu couldn't understand his actions...
...she still nervously extends her uninjured hand towards Erik who lightly holds her palm.
A small magic circle appeared under Erik's feet as a surge of psion entered Mibu's body, flowing through her entire nervous system.
A calming feeling washed over the body, causing her muscles and brain to relax which in turn caused her to lose consciousness.
Erik gently placed the unconscious woman against the bed frame.
"What happened, Erik?" (Mayumi)
Mayumi looked towards her fiance with a concerned expression.
"I have used a spell to calm her down. She has been stressing about the various things she did, it was bad for her health." (Erik)
Erik calmly answered her question as he turned to face Mayumi.
"I calmed her nerves and the fatigue that she has been holding back took control of her body and knocked her out." (Erik)
"Also, your speculation came to be true. She was indeed under a spell, I could feel refined psion coiling against her cortex." (Erik)
He had a serious expression on his face, after all, the matters related to the brain have always been very concerning.
"The hippocampus can form active memories very quickly, while the cortex takes care of long-term stability." (Erik)
"Tonegawa once explained..." (Erik)
"If you don't need prolonged memory, the hippocampus is enough; if you don't have to form active memory quickly, the cortex is enough; but we want both." (Erik)
"In her case, a foreign psion was coiling against her cortex which is the reason why she doesn't remember anything." (Erik)
He explained the situation to others who had horrified expressions on their faces.
"Does that mean that the spell is still in effect!?" (Mari)
Mari had an angered expression on her face.
"No, the spell has already ended but the small amount of refined psion within her brain is just a plan-B." (Erik)
Erik denies Mari's assumption and explains his thoughts to his close friend.
"I don't understand..." (Mari)
Mari's expression turned from anger to confusion as she couldn't make anything out of what her friend just said.
"Well, in case Mibu somehow remembered anything. The leftover psion would get activated and wipe out her entire memory." (Erik)
Erik spoke with a grave expression on his face.
"Oh no! We must do something!" (Mizuki)
Mizuki stepped forward towards the bed, her sudden movement caused her 'big jugs' to bounce.
Everyone within the room except Erik, Suzune, and Tatsuya was blushing hard.
Miyuki had a red hue on her face which only increased her natural charm.
Leo had averted his eyes from Mizuki, lest he somehow ensures Erika's wrath.
Erika looked towards Mizuki's 'jugs' and then looked down at her own assets.
There was only one thought going through her mind.
'I like you cut, G.'
Mari and Mayumi had jealous expressions on their faces.
By no means were they lacking, both Mari and Mayumi were very beautiful and had impressive assets but when compared to this young girl, they don't stand a chance!
Erik, Suzune, and Tatsuya had no chance in their expressions.
Tatsuya...well, he is Tatsuya.
Suzune was too serious for her own good.
Whereas, Erik didn't care.
He who controls time, for him appearance doesn't matter...
...after all, everything is equal and will turn to dust with time.
His outlook towards people is different as he doesn't judge anyone based on their appearance or personality.
'Only based on the virtue of oneself shall thee be judged!'
"We have two options, either I can forcefully extract the refined psion from her brain or we take down the caster of this spell." (Erik)
Erik continues with his explanation, disregarding the strange atmosphere.
"Please explain the options..." (Suzune)
Knowing very well that Erik must have some plan if he is even mentioning any options.
"I am well versed in [Ancient Magic], and I know a spell which is used to extract psion out of the target's body." (Erik)
"If I dilute my magic and try to slowly absorb the refined psion, I can remove it." (Erik)
"Even so, I wouldn't recommend doing so until she has fully recovered from her injuries and my magic has some very harsh conditions." (Erik)
"As for the second option, if we take down the caster and disrupt his psion flow, this refined psion would also disappear." (Erik)
Everyone went silent after hearing the options provided by Erik.
Shutters!
The door once again opens, revealing a behemoth of a man standing outside the hospital room.
"The preparations are done, we should get going..." (Katsuto)
"Alright..." (Erik)
"What is going on, Erik?" (Mayumi)
"Yeah, where are both of you going at this time?" (Mari)
"We are going to capture the leader of [Blanche]."
"What!? Are you crazy!? These are dangerous terrorists you are talking about!" (Mayumi)
Mayumi instantly started denying Erik's motives.
"I had a deal, Mayumi..." (Erik)
"...with the officials." (Erik)
Knowing very well that his fiance was just concerned about his safety, Erik spoke in a rare gentle tone.
"What do you think will happen if the government got involved in this matter?" (Erik)
"...." (Mayumi)
Silence!
"The students involved in this incident will be termed as terrorists and their lives will be ruined." (Tatsuya)
"Indeed, Naotsugu, Katsuto, and I, we three will attack their hideout and capture their leader." (Erik)
Saying so, he turned towards the door and started leaving the room.
"But it is too dangerous!" (Mayumi)
Crack!
The atmosphere within the whole room solidified as a strangely disturbing feeling permeated the room.
It was a strange feeling but it managed to freeze everyone right in their tracks.
There was no pressure or magic involved, just pure physiological presence.
Erik slightly turned his head towards the right, looking at his fiance from the corner of his chartreuse phosphorescent eyes.
"Tell me, Mayumi..." (Erik)
"...in your honest opinion." (Erik)
"Do you believe there is a chance that these terrorists can best me?" (Erik)

"No, never in a million years!" (Mayumi)
'...this exceeds my wildest expectations!' (Mayumi)
'You, Erik...' (Mayumi)
'...are the very pinnacle of being!' (Mayumi)
'And that much is certain!' (Mayumi)
Pure and unadulterated pride could be felt within Mayumi's thoughts.
---
The strange feeling was overwhelming!
And as it spread, Mayumi and the others who were still frozen in their places could only abject power.
This was not just some third-rate magician!
This was the Emperor of the Saltzman Empire!
This was the [Advisor]!
This was 'The Invulnerable One'!
