Chapter 18: How To Conquer A Princess?
Shido's earpiece buzzed and Kotori's voice rang out.
"Shido, you're pretty lucky." she talk with her tone mix of teasing and matter-of-fact.
"CR-Units weren't designed for indoor battles."
"Since Princess entered the school, it'll be hard for the AST to interfere."
"I know." Shido replied, his gaze fixed on the ruins of the school.
"Now, you need to do something." Kotori's voice grew firmer.
"All week, you didn't run away from the training, even though you complained nonstop.
"You want to save the Spirits, right?"
Shido's mind flickered back to his first encounter with Tohka, and the wave of loneliness he felt from her through Observation Haki hit him again.
It stung more than he wanted to admit. She didn't deserve a life of being hunted and driven into the end of the world.
'Did they want her to turn into 'Beast'?'
