Chapter 858: The Officer Gradually Enters the Role

"Your invitation, I accept it," Akiza said.

She knew the truth.

Sayer was not the person she imagined, not from the beginning. She knew what she counted as in Sayer's eyes, and what all the companions in the Arcadia Movement counted as in his eyes.

They were just pawns... no, not even pawns. They were weapons, and the consumable kind. Sayer would squeeze out all their value without hesitation, and they would be disposed of at will after being exhausted.

Akiza cried all night, her world collapsed.

But fortunately in misfortune, just the day before discovering the truth, her world was no longer just Sayer and the Arcadia Movement. So she didn't collapse immediately, so she came here, back to Fujiki You Xuan again.

This person, Officer Goodwin, reminded her of her original path, the dream she thought she had no chance of in this life.

But Goodwin and the Security Bureau could indeed give her this opportunity, the opportunity to embark on the glorious path of a duelist again.

And through the previous duel, she also understood that this person was very strong and unfathomable. Her intuition told her that if she approached this person, it might help her become stronger faster, and learn to control her abilities.

Yes, this was also the first time in many years that Akiza Izinski was no longer just disgusted with her own power. After listening to Fudo Yusei and Goodwin's words continuously on the day of the Fortune Cup, she began to reflect on herself seriously for the first time, thinking about the possibility of completely mastering this power and using it to make herself better.

"Oh? Have you thought about it?" Fujiki You Xuan chuckled, "Don't you hate me anymore?"

Akiza shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "About before... I'm sorry. You are actually a good person, I know."

"Cough cough..."

Fujiki You Xuan coughed and said.

"Good person or whatever is out of the question, it's all just for our respective purposes."

He paused and said: "But I held the Fortune Cup to gather you Signers and fight against the Dark Signers who are about to destroy this world."

"Wanting to protect this world, this point is sincere."

Akiza nodded: "What do I need to do?"

"Mainly, it's fighting the Dark Signers," Fujiki You Xuan said, "As for where the Dark Signers are, you don't need to worry about that. Every Signer has a fated Dark Signer opponent, and she should come to find you soon."

"The information of the Dark Signer corresponding to you has also been collected for you, she thinks you killed her closest relative, and is willing to fall into hell to take revenge on you..."

Akiza was surprised: "I killed her relative? Who?"

"The fact is not you, it's Sayer, Sayer just let you take the blame... forget it, it's troublesome to explain in detail. Detailed files will be sent to you, go back and read them carefully."

"But I want to remind you, don't think that explaining the misunderstanding to the Dark Signers can avoid the battle. The Dark Signers have sold their souls to the Evil Gods, even if they lose the will to fight themselves, the Evil Gods will not allow it. No matter what, you will have a battle, and you must win."

"I collected enemy information for you to let you know yourself and the enemy, to be able to occupy the dominant position, and to tell you that you don't need to have guilt and psychological burden for the enemy. In addition, the truth can also be used as a weapon to shake the enemy in battle."

"This is not just for yourself, but for the whole world, do you understand?"

Akiza hesitated, bit her lip, and nodded slowly.

Then she asked: "Is there anything else I need to do?"

Although what was just said was very important, it sounded more like a mission born as a Signer. She originally thought she was invited here to accept some work, and it might be work related to her natural psychokinesis.

"Anything else? Nothing much, the top priority is mainly to deal with the Dark Signers..."

Fujiki You Xuan thought for a while, and then said half-jokingly.

"If it really doesn't work, you can be my secretary. Just serve tea and water, run errands, do some file organization, etc..."

Akiza nodded seriously: "Okay. When to start?"

"... I was joking."

Fujiki You Xuan looked helplessly at the serious girl who seemed to have no sense of humor.

"You haven't even reached adulthood, right? The Security Bureau doesn't use child labor."

Although Akiza looked precocious, she was actually only sixteen, high school age, he didn't forget.

"After the Dark Signer matter is over, go to the Dueling Academy to finish your studies first, if you still have the intention then, you can come to apply again... oh, also, about the Arcadia Movement."

Fujiki You Xuan changed the subject.

"Although Sayer is gone, some of the concepts he put forward—even if they were just a facade to cover up his lies—can indeed be used."

"Regardless of the purpose, the Arcadia Movement did provide a home for a group of homeless people."

"Although this organization was just a scam at first, it might not be impossible to become what you want it to be."

Akiza's expression moved: "You... you mean..."

"The Arcadia Movement can still be built into the home you want. No more lies, no more deception, no more conspiracies and harm. If necessary, the Security Bureau can contribute money and effort to help things get on the right track."

"But in any case, I am an outsider, and there still needs to be someone inside the organization to take the lead, preferably someone with enough prestige in the organization and recognized."

Saying that, he looked directly at Akiza, and his eyes were basically implying.

"You mean... me?"

Akiza shook her head repeatedly.

"I can't. I don't have that ability, and I'm not someone who can give everyone hope and guide the right direction..."

"Is it that you can't, or you don't want to?" Fujiki You Xuan asked.

Akiza lowered her head and was silent.

"I thought so."

Fujiki You Xuan smiled, stood up from the chair, and patted her on the shoulder.

"You can become far better than you are now, and you can do better. You are not any Black Rose witch, and what you bring to people is not despair and fear."

"You can also become hope, admired by countless people, and needed by countless people. I knew you had this potential the first time I saw you."

"The key question now is... do you want to change?"

"I want to."

Akiza raised her head and met his eyes, as if she had made up her mind.

"I also want to be needed."

"If you want to, then do it," Fujiki You Xuan laughed, "You can become anything you want to be, Akiza Izinski."

Akiza's eyes flickered, her nose felt sour, and she almost cried.

She nodded hard: "Hmm!"

After a while, she said with a complicated expression: "Thank you."

Fujiki You Xuan turned around, faced the window, and waved his hand gracefully.

"No need. I am the Officer of this city, and making this place better is my duty. You go first."

Akiza nodded and turned to exit.

Retiring to the door, she paused for a moment, couldn't help but wipe away the tears that she couldn't control, and then raised her head again, the girl's eyes had become firm again.

Fujiki You Xuan in the office sat back in the chair and closed his eyes slightly.

I always feel that I am really entering the role of the Officer now...
