In the plaza of Fairy Tail, Noah stood with Enju, Kayo, and tina by his side, he was addressing the people here .

  Near them was a pile of packages with timer or tightly wrapped packages with suspicious contents . There were at least 600 or so packages stacked there .

  Noah who is quite adept at controlling his own emotion, Kayo who is known for being level-headed, Tina who is usually easy-going, and Tina who is usually laidback, without an exception, they were all frowning hard .

  Soon, more arrived with packages and they stacked the packages on the designated pile with looks of disgust and fury .

  "Guild master, we found 20 more of these!"

  "20?"

  Tina gasped .

  "In total, there’s a754 of these that were placed?"

  "No way!"

  Enju winced in fear .

  "If these all went off, Fairy Tail, Fairy Tail will be . . . "

  "Fairy Tail will be blown to high heavens . . . "

  Kayo said with a rarely-seen angry tone .

  "We found 754 bombs!"

  Yeah, that’s right, they were busy finding and defusing bombs .

  These things packed a punch if they went off .

  Fairy Tail members worked together to locate these bombs which were buried around Fairy Tail’s exterior area .

  Kayo’s hypothesis isn’t too far from the truth . If all these bombs went off, Fairy Tail would have to be rebuilt from the rubbles .

  "Those bastards! I didn’t think they would do something like this!"

  The members denounce the actions of the vile perpetrators who sought Fairy Tail’s fiery end . Even Enju, Kayo, and Tina felt outraged by the actions others have brought upon them .

  Noah clenched his fists hard as his eyes went as cold as the arctic pole .

  There’s no shortage of lunatics in this world .

  With a threat that can wipe out the entire Tokyo Region, the rationality holding the lunatics from going mad were broken by their fear of the unknown and the fear of death . This is their way of dealing with reality .

  With the chance of entering the bunkers "taken away" by the cursed children, this was the result .

  That wasn’t the scariest part .

  It’s what these lunatics could do when they are completely unbounded by sense and reason .

  They would do anything to increase the chance of survival .

  For instance, they wanted to reduce the number of people alive who are eligible to enter the bunker .

  By killing others, they wanted to increase their chances of being chosen as one of the 30% population that gets to hide in the bunkers .

  There were also murders, robberies, and rampant gambling that were targeted at the plane tickets leaving the Tokyo Area .

  This happened only half a day since a reporter broke the news of the crumbling Monolith 32 .

  In just a few minutes, all the tickets leaving Tokyo Area were bought up .

  To buy the ticket, people did crazy things .

  It’s not hard to imagine getting knocked out while on the streets just so the robbers can frisk you for airplane tickets .

  Without a doubt, crazy people buried these bombs in the hopes that a poor cursed child will step on it or get caught in the explosion .

  Noah saw this coming .

  Noah trusted his premonitions . He knew people were going to do desperate and unthinkable things just to get in the bunkers . The discrimination from the Robbed Generation would not stop at a less-than peaceful resolution .

  Noah’s gut feeling turned out to be correct .

  He was right 754 times .

  The unsightly residents of Tokyo Area actually went so far as to lay down mines and bombs for Cursed Children .

  Noah inhaled deeply, trying his hardest to pacify the storm within his heart . All traces of mercy and emotions were gone as he looked in a certain direction .

  "Unhand me! Do you know who I am?!"

  A snake-looking glasses guy with a lanky figure struggled there .

  Noah knew the guy much to his disapproval .

  "I am the captain in charge of security at the Holy Residence!"

  The guy roared .

  "You dirty civil officers, how dare you handle me like this! You’re all dead, ya hear?! Dead!"

  Yasuwaki Takuto, that’s his name .

  He got tied up and he was placed in front of the explosive stack . Behind him, there were 30+ individuals who were acting as his conspirators .

  The prisoners were stared at by the Fairy Tail members . Their eyes were either cold or hot with disgust and anger . Takuto’s ego couldn’t handle this demeaning treatment and he continued shrieking .

  Noah slowly stepped towards Takuto .

  "—!"

  Takuto stopped shouting and he looked at Noah with terrified eyes .

  "Wh-what are you doing?!"

  Noah said nothing as he made his way over . Takuto remembered how Noah taught him a physical lesson last time, he squirmed in fear .

  "Wait! Wait! Stay away! Don’t come over here!"

  Noah landed a kick on Takuto’s chest .

  "Gargh!"

  Splurt

  Takuto barfed up blood as he flew like a soccer ball, bouncing against the ground as he crashed .

  Then, he followed up with another kick to his chest .

  Bam

  "Argh!"

  Takuto yelped in anguish .

  Nobody felt a shred of pity for Takuto’s treatment . They watched with cold indifference .

  "Tell me!"

  Noah interrogated Yasuwaki, with his foot firmly placed on his chest .

  "Who ordered you to install the bombs here!"

  Cursed Children made up around 5% of the 30% chosen to enter the bunkers .

  To hog the 5%, unscrupulous individuals tried to kill the cursed children here to clear up the quota for themselves .

  Although Yasuwaki Takuto got fired, he should have been able to obtain a plane ticket out of Tokyo Area with relative ease .

  His appearance here is either personal vendetta or somebody ordered him to do this .

  How would a civilian be able to get his hands on 754 military-grade explosives?

  "G-gargh . . . "

  Takuto wanted to say something but the pain coursing through him prevented him from doing so .

  "Seize them!"

  Takuto got kicked back to his cohorts . Noah left them and he headed for the exit .

  "We are heading to the Holy Residence!"
