New law of Beast Taming

The principal sweated as he was subjected to two particularly strong gazes from the people in front of him. His brows were pulled up and his eyes shook.

"A-Anyway, you should do what is right for you, Lady Yoko. I will support you in any way you want me to."

The principal was sweating bullets as he watched the two in front of him ignore his presence. This was not how he wanted to build his relationship with the divine guild. He needed to do something.

So, the principal chose the easier of the two targets to get on his side.

From what he knew of Yoko Tsurugi, she was a girl who did not have much personality before and she was also quite submissive. Surely, she would not deny his requests in the future.

"Hmm, do not worry principal. I will do what I need to to clear out my name. I am thankful for your support."

Yoko Tsurugi smiled an easy-going smile but that did not reach her eyes. Her cold eyes looked as if they could devour someone with the intensity of her gaze.

Despite not doing anything, the principal froze and looked back at his student. He did not know what to say about her anymore.

It felt as if he was looking at a predator who would devour in a single bite but was choosing not to do so right now. The principal could not help but shiver when he looked at Yoko.

On the other hand, Yoko did not care about the principal at all. He was just one of the many who wanted to use her and her influence.

So, he was someone she did not need to pay attention to.

"Lady Yoko, we should hurry up and leave now. The press conference would be held in a short while."

Helios ignored the principal as well and turned toward Amane. His voice was calm but commanding, not leaving any room for the principal to speak.

The principal gulped once he realized that this was a warning to him. Helios was asking the principal to back down and not delay them.

"Hmm, let us leave now. I am sure our dear principal here would take care of everything, right?"

Amane looked at the principal with her powerful golden eyes. The principal sighed before putting his tea down. The golden eyes in front of him had caused the principal's appetite to go away.

"Lady Yoko is right. I will handle things here so you can go back and relax now."

The principal waved the two off with a happy expression. But as soon as the two were gone from his office, he shivered in fright. This was one of the closest incidents the principal had faced that caused him to shiver in fright.

He hoped that he would never have to be in this position again.

"Time to make a few calls. As much as I do not want to grant any student a special favor, it is better to remain on the good side of the divine guild."

The principal raised his phone and dialed it.

..........

"The conference will cover everything. From what happened with you to what a chimera beast is. Mother has made all the preparations for things to go smoothly."

Amane understood Charlie was a tough person. If Charlie had promised to clear out Amane's name, then her name would be cleared.

But what Amane was annoyed with was the elders. She had ignored all their messages until now but the elders would surely cause her problems down the line as well.

"I am not worried about clearing my name. I am sure you all would be a marvellous job of that."

Amane's praise caused Helios to flush red. He was not often praised so he had no immunity to this kind of behavior.

"Hmm, is that so? T-Then I will have to work hard not to let you down. If you want anything, then let me know. I will do my best to assist you."

Helios sounded overly excited to follow what happened. The car also reached the destination and stopped moving.

"Boss, we are here. Lady Suzuki is calling for you on the centre stage since it is time."

Helios nodded and turned toward Amane. He held his hand out as an escort and looked at Amane with a confident expression.

"My lady, please allow me to escort you. I will make sure you do not suffer any humiliation today and I will also take care of all your needs."

Amane was surprised at the gesture. It was very standard and stiff. She could not imagine Helios having done this a lot of times before.

But this was a good way to show the utility between her and the divine guild. So, Amane allowed her hand to be taken by Helios and she was pulled inside the hall.

As expected, the people in the stand and the photographers went wild as soon as they saw Amane enter the hall with Helios. There would be a lot of articles tomorrow, detailing her relationship with Helios.

But the younger seemed not to care about this. Helios was confident he led Amane toward the end. Then he handed her over to Charlie.

The divine leader looked annoyed for some reason. But as soon as Charlie took Amane's hand, her expression eased out.

"You did well, Helios. Now go and join the rest of our people. I will take care of things from here."

Charlie Suzuki, the divine leader assured Helios. He had no choice but to follow her words now.

"I know you will do great mother. You always do."

Helios spoke with a confident tone before he took his seat in the audience. The photographers captured each moment.

Even the smallest detail could become a big storyline for them. So, they did not want to miss anything.

"Everyone, I hope you are aware of why we are all gathered here. I need to clear up a lot of misunderstandings that have resulted because of what happened recently. Speak if you have any questions."

The reporters were quite for a while, trying to gather what they wanted to ask the divine leader. There was a lot to ask, but only so much Charlie was willing to answer.

The reporters also needed to be careful since they were dealing with the divine guild. The members of this family were known to be a little 'wild' after all.

"Hmm, L-Lady Suzuki, then let me ask the question. Is it true that a beast was killed during your last investigation?"

One of the brave reporters asked this question. She had been quite taken in by the passionate speeches on the internet.

"Hmm, I am not sure if you would call a chimera a beast. But we did put down a chimera recently."

The reporters gasped as soon as they heard the divine leader speak. They now had their evidence that a beast had died.

"Divine leader, what do you mean by those words. Is a chimera not a beast?"

Suzuki was about to speak when Amane decided she should be the one to speak.

"Technically speaking, a chimera is a man-made creation which is formed by forcing a lot of species together. These species are often hostile to each other and form a highly toxic and dangerous creation as a result. It is kinder to end their suffering in that situation."

The reporters frowned. They were not going to get Amane's words go as easily. Not when she was speaking such juicy words.

"So, you are saying that it is alright to kill a beast in pain than to treat it? We have sedatives to…"

"Don't you think I know that? But a chimer's situation is irreversible and no kind of medicine works on its constitution since it is highly volatile. Keeping a chimera is also a risk for the surroundings. But if you really want to save one, I guess I can hand one over to you the next time I find one."

"Mind you, that it could be out of its mind and attack you. But I will not take any responsibility for that."

The reported who asked the question gulped and backed down.

The reporters had mixed expressions on their face.

On one hand, they wanted to write negatively about Yoko Tsurugi and gain views. But on a personal level, they understood what they were saying. No one wanted to face a raging chimera after all.

Besides all this, no one wanted to go against the divine guild and make Charlie Suzuki an enemy.

"B-But still, I am sure that the creature can be saved and…"

The reported began another round of interrogations before he stiffed. The door to the conference room had been smacked open and a terrified person entered the room.

"E-Emergency. This is an emergency and there is a monster raging outside. Someone, please help us out here or we will all die."

Amane looked outside, only to see a chimera raging in the parking lot of the conference.
