| 35 | - | "Whether it's the massive data "Apocalypse" server, the boundary system that covers the majority of the campus, the electricity and water circulation system, and the basic life support/ environmental program, these are all in one place the so-called "Babel system".

| 36 | ||
| 37 | She took a breath. | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | - | "Well......to be accurate it should be right above the heart. Only members of COCOON, who are responsible for each Babel, can enter the "Babel system" the lowest floor in the tower. But before entering, you must pass through the strict biometrics as well as the magic certification to enter the basement. It seems that Tsusukara was the only person in COCOON to pass through the biometrics authentication." |

| 60 | ||
| 61 | - | If what Tiana had said was correct, then in here you can control all of the systems. Also if the security program detected the strange operation it should have been also possible to prevent beforehand. Looking at from the public safety perspective, there should be no reasons for this no to exist. Even from the technical side there is no problem. The boundary system that changes psychical damage to mental damage is many times more complex. |

| 62 | ||
| 63 | "That was merely the operating or control system for that one place." | |
| 64 | ||
| 65 | Tiana answered. | |
| 66 | ||
| 67 | - | "As for here, its more like the "power reactor" for all of systems. But they needs engineers and school personnel other than the COCOON to actually operate the systems. Naturally they can not enter the lowest floor, so they need other places to control the system. Otherwise each operating system must controlled by COCOON personally, which would take a long time and be too much trouble." |

| 71 | Tiana's "power reactor" analogy, allowed Onizuka to immediately understand the difference between the two. | |
| 72 | ||
| 73 | - | During the training program incident, Onitsuka changed the level of the program, and then the terrorist Tanaka changed the intensity of the program making it go berserk. The level and the intensity change were all done above ground. |

| 75 | + | As for the ranking tournament intrusion the other day, when the self proclaimed "Hero" destroyed the boundary system Babel's engineers repaired it. They were able to restore the system because only the above ground system was destroyed and its cable was cut from the system going into the ground. The "power reactor" remained intact. |

| 283 | Tiana supported Onizuka as they forcibly rolled back on the ground, then he realized what happen. An attack invisible to the naked eye was aimed at where he was standing. | |
| 284 | ||
| 285 | He raised his head up, while his attention was on Phil the attack came from behind. | |
| 286 | ||
| 287 | ||
| 288 | - | Tiana supported Onizuka as they forcibly rolled back the ground, then he realized the situation. The attack was invisible to the naked eye and aimed at where he was standing. |
| 288 | + | |
| 289 | "Its.....its you ... you ...? " | |
| 290 | ||
| 291 | ||
| 292 | ||
| 293 | Onizuka Kenya kept standing this time. | |
| 294 | ||
| 295 | It was also a face that Onizuka knew all to well. | |
| 296 | ||
| 297 | But his face was unusually cold, as if it was a completely different person. With a particularly aghast tone Onizuka, | |
| 298 | ||
| 299 | "Are you...... Tanaka ......?" | |
| 300 | - | It is also a face that Onizuka knew all to well. |
| 300 | + | |
| 301 | It was the name of a former classmate. | |
| 302 | - | But his face is unusual cold, as if a completely different person. With a particularly aghast tone Onizuka: |
| 302 | + | |
| 303 | He was a person whom Onizuka unjustly vented his irritation on. | |
| 304 | ||
| 305 | And the culprit that exploited Onizuka's plan to get revenge on Akatsuki by changing the training program plunging JPN Babel into chaos. | |
| 306 | - | It is the name of the former classmate. |
| 306 | + | |
| 307 | Tanaka slowly started to speak -- in a tone different from what Onizuka remembered. It was inorganic and calm, | |
| 308 | ||
| 309 | "When I heard there was an intruder..... I never thought there was a no way it would be you." | |
| 310 | ||
| 311 | "...... He sounds like a friend of yours, Ken-chan." | |
| 312 | - | Tanaka slowly started to speak -- in a tone that Onizuka doesn't know, inorganic and calm: |
| 312 | + | |
| 313 | Unlike Onizuka, Tiana neatly got to her feet and sighed in relief. | |
| 314 | - | "When I heard there was an intruder.....I thought there was surely no way it was you." |
| 314 | + | |
| 315 | "Although I don't have the qualifications to say so... ... Ken-chan should choose his friend more carefully, uh Huh." | |
| 316 | - | "......He sounds like a friend of Ken-chan's." |
| 316 | + | |
| 317 | "...... It's none of your business." | |
| 318 | - | Unlike Onizuka, Tiana neatly got to her feet and sighs in relief. |
| 318 | + | |
| 319 | Onizuka bitterly remarked to her as he got off the ground. | |
| 320 | - | "Although I don't have the qualifications to say so... ... Ken-chan should choose his friend more carefully, Huh uh." |
| 320 | + | |
| 321 | "-- Oh, did you miss? How useless." | |
| 322 | - | "......None of your business." |
| 322 | + | |
| 323 | A familiar voice came from behind him. Onizuka did not have to look back to know who it was. | |
| 324 | - | Onizuka bitterly remarks as he got off the ground. |
| 324 | + | |
| 325 | After all, with the noise from that last attack, and in the fist place there was a possibility he was aware of them from the beginning too. | |
| 326 | - | "--Oh, did you miss? How useless." |
| 326 | + | |
| 327 | "With only this level of an enemy --" | |
| 328 | ||
| 329 | Phil was interrupted before he could finish. | |
| 330 | - | After all the noise from the previous attacks and in the fist place, there was a possibility he noticed them from the beginning, too. |
| 330 | + | |
| 331 | Because Tiana instantly cut the distant between them and her right fist hit Phil in the gut. <<<<<pic>>>>>> | |
| 332 | - | "To deal with this level of enemy --" |
| 332 | + | |
| 333 | "----------" | |
| 334 | - | Phil was interrupt before he could finish. |
| 334 | + | |
| 335 | The power in the attack caused Phil to slam into the wall behind him. | |
| 336 | ||
| 337 | A loud rumble shook the passageway. | |
| 338 | ||
| 339 | While the reverberations could still be heard after her successful surprise attack she: | |
| 340 | - | The power in the attack caused Phil to be slammed into the wall behind him. |
| 340 | + | |
| 341 | "I'm very sorry. You left your body wide open, I could not bear it." | |
| 342 | ||
| 343 | After she finished talking, she immediately turned to face Tanaka next. | |
| 344 | ||
| 345 | ||
| 346 | ||
| 347 | "–- Its fine, no need to apologize." | |
| 348 | - | As she finished talking, immediately she turned to face Tanaka. |
| 348 | + | |
| 349 | ||
| 350 | ||
| 351 | In a sonorous voice, it seemed he wasn't harmed. | |
| 352 | - | "–- Its fine, no need apologize." |
| 352 | + | |
| 353 | Phil Burnett slowly stood up. | |
| 354 | ||
| 355 | "This guy......" | |
| 356 | ||
| 357 | Onizuka involuntarily widened his eyes. | |
| 358 | ||
| 359 | He has seen the extent of his power before. | |
| 360 | ||
| 361 | During the ranking tournament Onizuka fought against Phil, and his level was well above his own. | |
| 362 | ||
| 363 | However, Tiana was powerfull enough to overwhelmed a group of A class students in town. Onizuka knew all to well the formidable power of one of her punches. | |
| 364 | ||
| 365 | It was enough to causally send her opponents through cement walls. | |
| 366 | - | During the ranking tournament Onizuka fought against Phil, and it was well above his own. |
| 366 | + | |
| 367 | However he received a surprise attack and was calmly standing up. | |
| 368 | - | However, Tiana had the power to overwhelmed a group A class students in town, and again their strength was slightly better. Onizuka knew well about the formidable power of her punch. |
| 368 | + | |
| 369 | "What dreadful power. It left several broken ribs, and even some internal bleeding." | |
| 370 | - | It was enough to causally send her opponents into the cement walls. |
| 370 | + | |
| 371 | Phil smiled, while his whole body began emitting a red phosphorescence glow. | |
| 372 | - | However he received a surprise attack and was calmly still standing up. |
| 372 | + | |
| 373 | "----" | |
| 374 | ||
| 375 | Upon seeing this, Tiana abruptly narrowed her eyes. | |
| 376 | ||
| 377 | And in a low voice: | |
| 378 | ||
| 379 | "......Oh, I get it." | |
| 380 | ||
| 381 | She paused for a moment. | |
| 382 | ||
| 383 | "It seems -- the <Phoenix cells> have already been transplanted." | |
| 384 | ||
| 385 | "Phoenix ......?" | |
| 386 | ||
| 387 | Upon hearing what Tiana said, Onizuka glared. | |
| 388 | ||
| 389 | He doesn't know whats happening, and doesn't understand how it all lead to this. | |
| 390 | ||
| 391 | However, the word 'Phoenix' actually wasn't so strange. | |
| 392 | ||
| 393 | -- He knew of the biological characteristics that bird. | |
| 394 | ||
| 395 | "There is no way.....he become immortal......that's just too ridiculous." | |
| 396 | - | However, the word Phoenix actually wasn't so strange. |
| 396 | + | |
| 397 | Standing next to Tiana, Onizuka Kenya asked her in the bitter voice. | |
| 398 | - | -- And knew the biological characteristics of the bird. |
| 398 | + | |
| 399 | But, no one answered his question, furthermore it didn't change their situation. | |
| 400 | - | "There is no way.....he become immortal......that's just a ridiculous story." |
| 400 | + | |
| 401 | So ...... | |
| 402 | - | While standing next to Teana, Onizuka Kenya asks her in the bitter voice. |
| 402 | + | |
| 403 | ...... Damn, why did I choice to go along with her? | |
| 404 | - | But, no one answered his question, furthermore the situation has not changed. |
| 404 | + | |
| 405 | Onizuka steeled himself, and everyone else gets ready. | |
| 406 | ||
| 407 | The surrounding atmosphere began to rapidly change. | |
| 408 | - | ......Damn, why did I choice to go along with her? |
| 408 | + | |
| 409 | It was strained almost stifling -- the atmosphere of a battlefield. | |
| 410 | - | Onizuka steels himself, and everyone else gets ready. |
| 410 | + | |
| 411 | No escape. | |
| 412 | - | And the surrounding air begins to rapidly change. |
| 412 | + | |
| 413 | Phil and Tanaka had them outflank. | |
| 414 | - | It was strained by stifling -- the atmosphere of a battlefield. |
| 414 | + | |
| 415 | In the narrow passage a direct conflict is inevitable. | |
| 416 | ||
| 417 | It wasn't just a fight -- if they wanted to survive. | |
| 418 | - | Phil and Tanaka have outflank them. |
| 418 | + | |
| 419 | 4 | |
| 420 | ||
| 421 | At the same time. | |
| 422 | - | It's not just fight -- if you want to survive. |
| 422 | + | |
| 423 | In the student council room along with the rays of light Haruka had disappeared right in front of his eyes -- | |
| 424 | ||
| 425 | However Hikami Kyoya maintained the calm smile on his face. | |
| 426 | ||
| 427 | ..... Was that a forwarding seal? that perhaps means it was Ousawa-kun. | |
| 428 | ||
| 429 | - | In the student council room right in front of his eyes Haruka disappeared from sight along with the rays of light -- |
| 429 | + | |
| 430 | ||
| 431 | --Because of that a potential enemy escaped. | |
| 432 | ||
| 433 | - | .....Was that a forwarding seal? that perhaps means it was Ousawa-kun. |
| 433 | + | |
| 434 | ||
| 435 | But -- Hikami Kyoya doesn't care. | |
| 436 | ||
| 437 | Its not a problem. | |
| 438 | ||
| 439 | When Akatsuki learns the truth about JPN Babel.... | |
| 440 | ||
| 441 | All the preparations will have been completed. | |
| 442 | ||
| 443 | "Crimson Twilight" has already invaded the premises, but their opponents have already had the <Phoenix cells> transplanted. That should be a problem either. | |
| 444 | ||
| 445 | So ...... | |
| 446 | ||
| 447 | His glance moved away from the unconscious Ousawa Miu on the floor to outside window. | |
| 448 | ||
| 449 | Hikami Kyoya smiled. | |
| 450 | ||
| 451 | ||
| 452 | ||
| 453 | "Well, everything is in place -- Let's assume that this world is already mine." |
