Chapter 924 About the evil demonic cult
[Eon's POV: ]
As we walked out to the stage, my eyes met the headmaster's.
'Good luck.' He wanted this one to be a success even though he had made us the last ones.
I still did not know what he wanted from us by putting us last in the line, but he must have had his reasons.
'You still have to take us out, just remember that much.'
If we do not get to see the outside of this place, the volcanic regions, the amazing creatures of this special ecosystem… there is going to be a problem.
'Yes. I will make sure you do see those things.'
He nodded at us lightly as we passed by him, and both of us nodded as well as we took our place on the stage.
"Ahem."
The people before us, all these powerful people holding important positions, the look of surprise on their faces as they recognised us, and the familiar faces that had a unique expression as they looked at us with various expressions.
There were people before us that we knew, my mom and family were here, my mentor that had helped me develop new techniques was present here, Rein was with me and her mentor was among the people looking at us with an excited smile were present here as well.
They knew the gist of the situation like the people who had fought with me or had some kind of important connection to us but, they did not know all that we were going to discuss going forward.
So, many of them were looking forward to it.
{ "Greetings, people." }
There was a presentation on me on the first day so even those who did not know anything about me until then knew well who I was and who the person with me was.
They had seen us and knew a good lot about us, so we did not need to introduce ourselves, so we saved the time with a simple greeting and, with a nod at Rein, we started the preparations.
We were given time for the presentation preparation, so the people did not start anything even though they had their things that they wanted to say.
Some wanted to question what we were doing here, ask why there were two of us here when there should only be one person to present a topic at a time- even though it was not a rule, and there were also a lot of questions, but they refrained from asking anything at the moment.
The preparation time was important so, since there were no disturbances, we started taking out the things that we were going to use.
-Oooooooooong!
'The people should still remember the things that the headmaster spoke before the start of the preparations, right?'

The first thing that I took out from my storage 'space' was a very complex looking thing that, in simple terms that one can understand, resembled a Server machine.
These things were pretty close to the server computers of the older times from my previous world, but in this world, these highly complex glass slabs containing highly sensitive pieces of magic engineering that was only found in the most crucial places of this entire world was something only a few of these important people recognised.
They were a state secret so no one was even supposed to talk anything about it, but the fact that I just casually took it out of my storage space earned a lot of gasps.
Additionally, since this piece was something that I made myself and not something that belonged to any other institute, those who had the knowledge of magic engineering could tell at a glance how this thing was different from the rest of the similar pieces that they might have seen or been in contact with.
"Good luck to us." Rein also took out a unique piece of headband as she walked back with a wire that was connected to the Server like equipment.
"It will be fine." and since I knew how she was still a little anxious, I kissed the back of her palm thrice to calm her down.
These actions caused a few gasps among the witches and the older ones who knew the meaning of those three kisses, but people still were calm until this point.
But then…
The things that were taken out of my White gates made the place dead silent.
-Ooooooooooong!
After the server-like device, it was a unique kind of magic crystal that the mages could tell was nothing like they had seen in their lives.
Those who recognised Original Runes could tell just how densely enchanted this crystal was with those runes and yet, that was just the start.
Starting with small pieces of drones that were made not with magic engineering but Alchemy, I sent away these projection support units (PSUs) all around the stage.
They covered the entire hall actually, mainly the ceilings of the halls.
Following that, Rein took out some very high purity mana crystals from her storage space and placed them all into a unique looking machine that I had taken out and connected to the Server.
Things were pretty much complete with that, so after distributing a special kind of headband that was just a little different from what Rein and I were wearing to the rest of the people present in this gathering, and after I had sent Celes' clones all around the place, we were ready for the presentation.
And, since we were ready, I cleared my throat one last time, nodded at Rein and gathered my Mana as soon as I got a thumbs up from her who was controlling half of the devices.
{ "Our presentation will be on the Demonic cult that had recently terrorised the capital city of Principality of Lakmer." }
-Snap.
-Oooooooooooooong!
The precious Mana crystals that we had used started glowing as the main machine booted up.
Following it, the server connected to it booted up.
Shortly after that, a certain blue light on every headband that was distributed to every individual in the conference also lit up.
-Ooooooooooong!
After the smaller artifacts and devices connected to the main two control units had been activated, the Purple crystal ball that was enchanted with highly complex spells, and even Runes was activated and a bright light momentarily blasted from it.
-Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew. Pew.
Then, the hundreds of small drone like devices that we had sent all around the conference hall lit up with the same purple light and, before many of them even understood what was happening, something that they might have only experienced in a 'artificial scene projection room' the places where Rein's Energy beast research class takes place, was recreated in the Grand conference for perhaps the first time without the help of high magic.
"...?"
"...!"
"This…"
The plain, dim-lighted conference hall was transformed into the capital city of Lakmer at the time of Dusk.
The point of view that they were seeing was from a little higher perspective, an angle from where they can practically see all corners of the city with certain places being highlighted in them with certain kinds of shapes.
{ "Firstly, we will begin with what transpired in the Lakmer– with the inception of these Evil demonic cult." }
I emphasised the word Evil, something that was hardly ever associated with the Rakshasas on the greater scale like this one.
I was not calling the individuals who had terrorised Lakmer a Rakshasa either and specifically was using a certain kind set of words to describe these unique individuals and many of them had caught up that much already.
-Snap.
The presentation had begun, and we had divided it into six parts. The happenings in the Lakmer were only the first section of the first part as the first part was going to cover everything that happened in Lakmer before that and after that.
The second section will contain the basic information about these demonic cultists that we had originally found from the first round of investigation.
The third section will cover how we found out many traces of this cult throughout the world and were looking after them from that point on.
In the fourth section, we were going to talk about how this cult had become a deep part of the human society of the current day.
Things were going to be very complicated when we showed them how they had penetrated even the most secure areas of the world and how we would not be able to get rid of them that easily even if we wanted to.
In the fifth section, we will talk about the suggestions that we had for the various individuals, nations, national leaders, and people who had power to do something in this matter.
And then, in the last section, we will conclude with My personal opinions of what we should Not do about these cultists for the time being.
The degree at which they had become a part of the current human world was practically unbelievable. And I knew these people would not understand it just because we were showing them proof.
We would need at least a day for the last three sections of our presentation, more if the discussion in the later sections are prolonged more than what we have calculated.
'We were praying to all kinds of divinities that there is no unnecessary shit between the important discussions.'
But as mom said… there are Jerks every time.
Even if they do not want to, there might be some that pop up in the middle of the discussion.
But at least, under what we had expected, if things go well all of this should end in five days… which was a lot already.
'Things would have been different had we gone first.'
But alas. It is what it is…
