"Uh Why is the bracelet here??"

I mumbled awkwardly while looking at the bracelet filled on my wrist.

The sudden situation surprised me as well, but compared to the reactions of the Angels, it was just the tip of the iceberg.

It didn't matter whether it was the seats of the council, the first floor, or the second floor.

All the Angels inside the conference room were gaping with completely astonished expressions.

Some were shivering and pointing toward my wrist.

The golden energy subtly emanating from the bracelet. It was the energy that I felt from the staff that suddenly disappeared.

Could this bracelet be Kodesh's staff?'

I wasn't sure why this happened, but the situation seemed as if the staff in my hand had turned into a bracelet.

The good thing was that I couldn't feel the energy of chaos that had been emanating from the staff anymore.

Even though the staff suddenly turned into a bracelet, the problem of the chaotic energy was solved. It would be no problem to just return the bracelet obediently huh?

My face, which was naturally trying to remove the bracelet, hardened quickly.

"Uh why isn't this coming off?"

Although it looked like there was room to spare, no matter how much strength I applied, the bracelet stuck tight and didn't budge at all.

While I was struggling with the bracelet, the Angels contorted their faces as if they had seen something grotesque.

Eventually, failing to remove the bracelet, I reached out to the council and asked.

"I'm sorry but I can't get this bracelet off. How do I remove it? Do you know how to?"

"?!"

"?!?"

Soon, the conference room fell into a panic.

A room with a structure similar to the waiting room of Kirwan.

I was sitting in that room with Judge Arc.

In contrast to my troubled atmosphere, Judge Arc had a beaming face.

"Hoho! Did you see the surprised expressions of the council members earlier? Especially Leto's flabbergasted expression was quite a sight."

"Sigh Judge Arc, this isn't the time to be laughing so comfortably, is it?"

"Is there a specific time when one should laugh? You laugh when you want to. Don't unnecessarily frown. Try to think more comfortably."

Despite Judge Arc's advice, I couldn't relax at all. Because the golden bracelet was still on my hand.

"This bracelet is Kodesh's staff, isn't it?"

"It seems so. I've never seen it transform into this form before, but looking at the emanating energy and shape, there's no doubt."

"I get that it transformed into a bracelet. But why isn't it coming off my wrist? Did I do something wrong?"

"You didn't do anything wrong. On the contrary, you did much better than I expected."

"Then why?"

He smirked and continued his words.

"Kodesh's staff isn't just an object symbolizing Archon. It examines the user's character and chooses its own master."

"Wait, does that mean the staff chose me as its master?"

"I don't think so. If it had chosen you as its master, it would have presented itself in its original form, not as a bracelet. I think this artifact is temporarily entrusting itself to you until it finds its real master."

It's entrusting itself to me

-I'm sorry, but we need your help a bit more.

I recalled the voice that echoed in my head the moment it transformed into a bracelet.

"Isn't there often such a case? A stray dog that has lost its owner temporarily stays with a kind temporary caregiver until it finds a new owner."

"Isn't it a bit too much to compare this bracelet to a regular stray dog?"

I had no intention of belittling or demeaning stray dogs. But considering the fuss the Angels made when they saw the bracelet, it was a very valid question.

"That bracelet has lost its owner and you are undoubtedly a kind guardian."

Judge Arc burst into laughter once again. I shook my head reluctantly and brought up another topic.

"How long should we wait here? They abruptly ended the meeting and quite some time has passed."

"They're probably eagerly searching through ancient books and records. What just happened is truly unpredictable. Even the chairman, who has the most experience, might be having a headache."

"Umm"

"Yes?"

I carefully asked Judge Arc.

"You're not going to cut my wrist to get the bracelet back, right?"

"What? Hahaha! Have you been worrying about that this whole time?"

He laughed heartily once again. Embarrassed, I mumbled,

"Of course I'm worried. Not that I did it on purpose, but it seems like I stole an incredibly important item."

"You seem to not quite understand the situation, why don't we try this?"

"Huh?"

Judge Arc leaned towards me and whispered something softly.

I listened to his whisper and couldn't understand its meaning, I wore a confused expression.

He urged me with his eyes to follow his instructions.

It was simple.

Extend the hand with the bracelet to the Angel guards standing at the door.

I reached out my hand with a dubious expression.

-Swoosh.

As soon as I extended my hand, both guards reacted.

-Eek!

-Eek!

At first, they were greatly startled, their pupils shaking, but gradually their faces turned pale. Finally, both dropped their weapons and fell flat on the floor.

Surprised by the completely unexpected reaction, I quickly retracted my hand.

"What! Why are they doing this?"

"Hahaha! Do you understand your situation now? As long as you have that bracelet, the Angels can't harm you. In fact, we should be afraid of you."

"Ugh I get it, so please tell them to get up."

As Judge Arc made a gesture, the two guards slowly got up from their positions. They were still constantly checking my mood even as they picked up their weapons again.

My gaze towards the bracelet had changed.

I knew it had great significance to the Angels. But to get this kind of reaction

Judge Arc asked me with a mischievous smile.

"Do you feel the taste of power?"

"It's scary how well I can feel it."

"How about it? Wouldn't it be fun to do the same to Representative Leto later?"

"?!"

The image of Leto squirming flashed across my mind. Even though it was a bad idea, it might be a bit fun?

-Knock. Knock. Knock.

-Judge Arc, the meeting is about to resume soon. Please prepare to attend the meeting.

News of the meeting resuming was delivered from the other side of the door. We, who had nothing in particular to prepare, got up from our seats and headed outside right away.

The waiting guards greeted us politely.

"We'll escort you to the council hall."

We were escorted by the guards to the council hall.

Along the way, the guards that met my gaze were taken aback and avoided my gaze.

The reaction was fun, so I stared at the guards walking next to me one by one. Each time my gaze met them, they barely concealed their confusion.

I arrived at the entrance of the conference room, feeling the subtle sweetness of power.

The spectator seats on the first and second floors were all empty, and only the members of the Ekruas council were sitting in their seats, waiting for us.

Judge Arc sent me a warm gaze and headed toward his seat. I walked to the center of the conference room, as I had done before.

I felt complex emotions from the pupils of the members. And the gaze that looked at me seemed definitely cautious.

I glanced at Leto, who immediately averted his gaze in an attempt to feign ignorance of my attention.

The chairman of the council spoke first.

"Sorry for making you wait. It was not easy to decide what to do because of an unprecedented event."

"No, it's okay."

I responded briefly and waited for the next words from the chairman.

"Before announcing the decision of the Council. Judge Arc?"

"Speak."

"Everyone here ignored your claim as ridiculous and foolish, but today we all realized that it was true. I want to convey a heartfelt apology as a chairman representing the Council."

The chairman and the rest of the members bowed their heads slightly in an act of apology. Judge Arc shrugged it off with a nonchalant expression.

"I just did what I had to do. A little conflict and friction that occurred in the process are trivial. Just let it pass."

After sending a thankful look to Judge Arc, the chairman turned his gaze back to me.

"Witness. No human who came to the Angel realm from afar.

"

"Despite searching all related records and documents about what happened today, we could not come to a definite conclusion. But there is one fact that we all had to admit."

All the members, including the chairman, stood up from their seats and came forward. They looked at me with solemn and serious faces.

"Although its form has changed. That bracelet is undoubtedly the Kodeshs Staff'. That means! You have been recognized by the Kodeshs Staff!"

Gulp.

With the escalating tension, I swallowed dry saliva.

"The fact that you have reached the realm of creation that we have not been able to achieve for a long time. And the fact that you have purified the sacred staff of the Archon that was tainted by chaos. Based on the above facts, the Council has concluded that you are suitable as a temporary owner of the holy staff."

As the Chairman's emotions grew more intense, his voice grew louder. With it, the bracelet on my wrist emitted a golden aura.

Swoosh!

At the Chairman's gesture, all the members kneeled toward me, including Judge Arc.

"The Ekruas Council recognizes you as the temporary Archon. Although you will not be recognized with all the rights of an Archon, the respect and reverence of the Angels towards you will always be sincere."

Finally, the chairman also kneeled.

Everyone in the conference room showed me extreme courtesy.
