Ultimate Being from the Tokonosu City

Chapter 400: Unexpectedly Peaceful End

From everyone's reaction to this announcement and agreement, it was clear that Goiki and Koichi were isolated. 

Yet, if Koichi was isolated due to his own act, Goiki was isolated, and the position of the Ichijou family was taken for a different reason. 

"Now, the Isshiki and Shippou Clans will replace the position of the Ichijou and Saegusa Families on the Ten Major Clans." 

Kudo Retsu looked at everyone and asked, "Everyone, who agrees? Who disagrees?" 

When the question of who agreed was being asked, everyone except for Koichi and Gouki raised their hands. 

When the question of who disagreed was asked, no one lifted their hands, including Koichi and Gouki, especially when they knew what the content of this meeting was and how their position had fallen from the Ten Major Clans to the 18 Assistant House. 

"Now, I will invite Iinuma Isao here." 

When Retsu's voice fell, the door of the room opened, and Isao entered the meeting room without hesitation. 

"Hello, everyone; you might have known me before, but let me introduce myself once again." 

Isao looked at everyone with a calm smile and said, "My name is Iinuma Isao, and I am here to lead everyone to change the idea that a magician can only live as a weapon." 

Yes, this was the key to his success and why everyone agreed to isolate the Ichijou and Saegusa families. 

In the eyes of normal people, a magician was known as a weapon, a tool for war, and this fact wouldn't change for so long yet; while the old magicians might be okay with it since that was how they started and why they were created to begin with, as they had a family, having children, grandchildren, and more, they didn't want their families to take the same path as them. 

They wanted their family to live a peaceful life like normal people. 

However, in this world and in this country, while some people were toward the magician, many also had an anti-attitude toward the magician, wishing them to be turned into livestock that could be used by humans forever. 

Yet, as the magician had grown, had family, and started to feel the taste of the authority, how could they feel satisfied with their treatment? 

Their treatments aside, how could they wish for their children to live the painful life that they felt in the past? 

At the same time, while there were pro-politicians who supported the magician, they were still normal humans, so it was hard for them to fully support the magician. As a normal person, how could they not feel jealous of the magicians? 

So, there was no doubt Isao's move, which fully supported the magician's right and to change everyone's perspective of the magician as a weapon, won the support of everyone, especially the Ten Major Clans and other families, who had started to have many generations from its beginning. 

Not only human beings but also magicians wished to live a better life, and naturally, they wanted to escape from their role as a weapon since not everyone wanted to fight after all. 

Yet, this was their chain, and as long as they were born as magicians, they had to fight for their country to protect everyone, using their lives, even if they didn't want to.

However, this was their role, something they couldn't escape.

While everyone felt jealous of the magicians, especially when they could live well in today's economy, the magicians also didn't live well since they couldn't leave their country; they had to keep fighting until they died. 

Or rather, many magicians also didn't live well in their old age due to their activity in their youth when they were forced to fight a war. 

Yet, in a world where many wars kept happening, and it was impossible to achieve complete peace, this was something hard to do, especially when the Great Asian Union had just attacked Okinawa previously. 

However, Isao said that he dared to do it, showing his support and telling them how he planned to make an industry where the magicians didn't have to fight anymore. 

Moreover, he also planned to make a movie with a magician as the cast to show everyone that the magician might be a weapon, but they had heart. 

This move naturally won the hearts of all of them, especially those who wished for peace. 

Still, to do all of that, there was something that they had to do, and that was to replace the Ichijou and Saegusa families from the Ten Major Clans. 

Why? 

There was no need to mention the Saegusa family since this family had tried to provoke Isao and Maya. The two just wanted to marry, yet this family caused trouble, so don't expect them to be gentle. 

Moreover, this revenge was just the beginning, and Koichi knew that many troubles were coming in his direction. 

Isao had never been gentle, after all, and after his long experience, the best defense was an offense. He knew well that Koichi planned to do something for him, so he decided to strike first. 

After all, the first one who made an attack would have an advantage. 

This was the case with the attack of the Great Asian Union on Okinawa. 

If there hadn't been him or Tatsuya in the original, it would have been impossible for this country to win, and by then, Okinawa was as good as fallen. 

Still, usually, the trouble would come, so the protagonist could show their cool performance that made everyone in awe, yet Isao was too lazy to do that, especially when it was clear that Koichi had shown hostility and Koichi was just like that. 

Koichi wasn't Dionysus, who was worthy of Isao's patience. 

Naturally, as Koichi wasn't the protagonist, he could only be defeated in this battle without blood. 

Still, Saegusa aside, as Koichi had provoked Isao, why was Gouki and the Ichijou family targeted? 

There wasn't much of a reason, but if there was one, it was all due to the Ichijou's trademark magic, Rupture, which was too cruel for the peaceful image of the Ten Master Clans. 

Rupture. 

It was a magic that was produced by the First Research Insitute, which focused on the development of magic that directly interfered with living organisms, and naturally, it was cruel magic as it was magic that evaporated all liquids within an object. 

In the case of living organisms, body fluids will evaporate, and the body will explode with its red blood cells scattering outwards like a crimson flower blooming in the spring. 

With such magic, it was impossible for the Ichijou Family to become the face of the magician that was produced by the First Research Institute, and because of that, everyone agreed to replicate the Ichijou Family with the Isshiki Family. 

Naturally, there was no need for the Isshiki Family to reject this good thing, and the magic of this family was relatively tame yet powerful, so no one said much about this decision. 

Still, if there was a reason why the Saegusa and Ichijou Families could only stay in silence and unable to fight, it was because Isao had their dirty secret, and if this dirty secret was known, then— well, they could only die. 

Nevertheless, as everything was cleared up and this matter was solved, no one said anything, and everything ended peacefully. 

While Gouki could only accept everything, Koichi kept staring at Kudo Retsu and Juumonji Kazuki, yet the two remained in silence, ignoring Koichi completely. 

Still, when the meeting ended and everyone was ready to go back, Maya quickly came to Isao with the best smile on her face, linked her arm against his, and said, "Then, we will go back first." 

"Excuse us." 

Watching the blooming smile on Maya's beautiful face, while all of them didn't say anything, they could see how much she had fallen for Isao and how happy she was with this marriage. 

In case someone tried to destroy their marriage, it was clear what the consequences were, so they could only look at Koichi while shaking their heads. 

However, Koichi stared at Maya's smile, making him remember the time of their youth. He might have married twice and had many children, yet even so, that sweet smile of his former fiancee was something that he had always remembered. He might keep it hidden, but it was there, deep within his heart.

The sweet smile when she called him "Koichi-kun," which he thought that he couldn't see anymore, was seen once again, but unfortunately, that smile wasn't directed toward him.

So, all the harsh words that Koichi had prepared to say couldn't come out of his lips, and he shut his mouth as he let out a long sigh. 

However, did their problem end? 

No way. 

This is just the beginning since the conspiracy from the world's strongest country was about to start.
