SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151: I Don’t Swing That Way.

If there was one thing she hated more than losing a battle...

It was paperwork.

Fighting monsters?

She loved it.

Trading blows until her surrounding collapsed?

Even better.

But sitting behind a desk, filling out reports and explaining every little detail of an incident?

That was torture.

Jonas knew it.

Which was exactly why he had assigned the task to her.

It wasn’t work.

It was punishment.

’You bastard...’

She muttered the words under her breath, believing nobody had heard them.

Unfortunately...

She had forgotten who she was standing in front of.

Jonas slowly turned his head.

His sharp gaze settled on her.

"What did you just say?"

Scarlet Fist immediately straightened her posture.

"Nothing."

She looked away.

"I said nothing."

Her voice came out as nothing more than a quiet grumble.

Jonas stared at her for another second before letting out a cold snort.

Meanwhile, Ferris had become so quiet that he almost disappeared into the background.

He stood perfectly still, not daring to make even the slightest unnecessary movement.

After witnessing Scarlet Fist receive another punishment, he had already reached a conclusion.

Silence was survival.

As long as he kept his mouth shut...

Perhaps the Vice President would forget he even existed.

Thankfully, whether Jonas truly forgot about him or simply couldn’t be bothered anymore, the man didn’t spare him another glance.

Instead, his attention shifted toward Kael.

"Would you mind giving me a little of your time?"

"There are a few things I’d like to discuss with you."

Kael nodded without much thought.

"Sure."

He didn’t have anything particularly urgent to do anyway.

Besides, Jonas had treated him with nothing but respect since the moment they met.

Rejecting him outright would be unnecessarily rude.

More importantly...

Kael couldn’t deny his own curiosity.

Jonas Grieg wasn’t someone who casually visited a Third District branch.

From the moment the Vice President had appeared beneath the Association building, Kael had already realized the man’s true objective hadn’t been Scarlet Fist.

It had been him.

The question was...

Why?

"Good."

Jonas turned around.

"Come with me."

The two began retracing their steps through the devastated underground facility.

As they walked through the corridor, Kael finally had the chance to properly observe the aftermath of the battle.

Earlier, his attention had been completely occupied by Scarlet Fist.

Now...

The destruction unfolded before his eyes in its entirety.

Entire sections of reinforced walls had collapsed.

The metal framework protruding from shattered walls twisted into grotesque shapes as though it had been crushed by some colossal beast.

Even the corridor connecting the training chambers had suffered damage.

Looking at the countless fractures spreading across the floor and walls, Kael finally realized just how excessive their fight had become.

’...We really went overboard.’

Fortunately, despite the extensive damage, the elevator remained operational.

The two entered together.

A few moments later, the elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, revealing the spacious lobby above ground.

Compared to the underground, the lobby was in considerably better condition.

Jonas suddenly stopped walking.

With a casual wave of his hand, spatial ripples spread through the air.

The next instant, a black face cap and a pair of dark sunglasses appeared in his hand.

He handed them over to Kael.

"There’s quite a crowd gathered outside."

"I imagine you’d rather avoid unnecessary attention."

Kael accepted them.

"Thanks."

Without hesitation, he pulled the cap low over his forehead before putting on the sunglasses, concealing most of his face.

Only after making sure he was sufficiently disguised did Jonas continue walking.

The moment the lobby doors opened, waves of voices drifted over from outside.

A large crowd had gathered around the Association building.

Many stretched their necks, trying to catch a glimpse of what was going on.

Some whispered among themselves.

Others pointed toward the entrance.

Fortunately, with the cap and sunglasses covering most of his features, none of them recognized Kael.

Although quite a few curious gazes still landed on him, they quickly moved away after failing to identify his face.

The two walked straight through the crowd without stopping.

Not far away, the B-32 Shadow jet waited quietly upon the landing platform.

Without delay, Jonas boarded.

Kael followed behind him.
