Chereads / Chairman of The Magic Council / Chapter 95 - Redemption?

Chapter 95 - Redemption?

Before they returned, Bourne wanted to have had a duel with Mirajane considering she was an S-Class magician, but in the end, he didn't do so since he felt that it was unnecessary. He had met Erza in the past and from how strong Erza was, he felt that Mirajane shouldn't be that much better from Erza.

Bourne didn't underestimate Mirajane, and he also could give a girl a dropkick, but even so, he didn't think Mirajane could be a good match for him so in the end, he decided to return after Mirajane and her siblings had become better.

After Bourne sent Mirajane, Lisa, Lisanna, and Elfman to the train station, he talked about his next journey with Ultear.

Bourne and Ultear had talked together before and they had made up a plan to destroy the Tower of Heaven.

The Tower of Heaven, or the eighth tower of the "Resurrection-System" is a Magic Item that allows any person to restore life upon someone who is deceased at the cost of someone else's life.

For protection purposes, the construction of the tower has been forbidden by the Magic Council since ancient times.

However, a cult of Dark Mages wishing to revive Zeref began working on it years ago. The cult kidnapped children and adults alike and forced them into slavery so that they could construct the tower for them.

In the past when Ultear was a member of Grimoire Heart, she had manipulated the mind of one of the slaves inside that Tower of Heaven since she wanted to revive Zeref. Her intention to revive Zeref was to get her mother back, but after she met Bourne, she didn't need to do so and became a happy girl.

Ultear knew that Bourne wanted to create his own bodyguard team and thought to get the slaves that were being tortured on the Tower of Heaven to do that.

It wasn't that Ultear wanted to torture those slaves again, but after all, it would be hard for them to work in society after being trapped on the Tower of Heaven for several years.

Ultear thought to help them by getting them a job since her fiance didn't lack a business, but of course, she wouldn't force them and her first intention was to help them and erased her last regret. If possible, she also wanted to destroy the Grimoire Heart for all, but it was hard to find their location since their headquarters was located on the aircraft which meant they were moving around the continent and it was hard to grasp their location.

In truth, they had decided to get the members of the Oracion Seis as their bodyguard's team since the main members of this guild were orphans from the Tower of Heaven and all of them were very strong, but at the same time, they also wanted to get their hands on "Nirvana" which was known as legendary weapon.

The weapon was just a weapon.

In the end, depending on whose hands it was held, it could become something to kill or to protect.

There was nothing more or else.

"Still, do you think that Jellal Fernandes will become a leader of Tower of Heaven?" Bourne asked.

Ultear nodded and said, "Yes, it should be him since I've manipulated his memory in the past and his next plan should be joining Magic Council."

"....."

Bourne was a bit surprised and asked, "Really?" He felt that it was quite strange when the man whose mind was being ravaged by Ultear during her childhood would become a member of the Magic Council, and of course, he knew the intention of Jellal wasn't good, considering the effect of mind manipulation that had been done by Ultear at that time was very bad.

Bourne didn't mind saving Jellal, considering the one who had caused everything was Ultear.

"I'm a disgusting woman, right?" Ultear said with an uneasy smile. She knew what she had done was a crime and she felt that it was too selfish for her to live in this happiness, but then her hand was being held by Bourne.

"If you think that you're disgusting, then what about me? I should be a piece of trash, right?" Bourne looked at Ultear and said, "Since I've frozen half of the Land of Isvan and I'm not even sure how many people have I killed before."

"No! You're not a piece of trash! If it's about the matter of Land of Isvan then it is also my fault!" Ultear refuted without hesitation, holding Bourne's hand tightly without letting him go, and staring at his eyes. She knew what Bourne had done, but she had never felt disgusted by it since she knew what he had done was the best for her and Ultear.

"Then you're not disgusting." Bourne kept staring at Ultear and said, "Both of us have done a lot of inhumane things and we know what we have done is wrong. It is impossible for all of the people in this world to forgive us when they know what we have done."

"...."

"Even so, it doesn't mean we're going to die to repent all of our crime." Bourne lifted Ultear's chin and said, "Let's do something good."

"Do something good?"

"Yeah. Like save those orphans on the Tower of Heaven, destroy all of Zeref Cult, catch all of the Dark Magician, build a school, etc....." Bourne listed a lot of things which were usually being done by a foundation in his previous life. He had too much money and it wouldn't hurt him to do a humitarians actions since such an action was new in this world.

"We might not be able to erase all of our crime or even cover it up. I'm dirty, but even so, it doesn't mean, we're not allowed to do something good, right?"

Ultear was a bit surprised and asked, "You really want to donate your money?"

"Yes." Bourne nodded and asked, "What do you think?"

"I think this is a wonderful idea!" Ultear didn't hesitate and kissed Bourne's lips. She felt that one of the greatest things in her life was to meet him in this life. If she didn't meet him, then she wouldn't know what to do in her life and probably would stay on the Grimoire Heart continued to work as a Dark Magician, fooling everyone to use Zeref for her own gain, but that didn't happen because she met him.

Ultear was glad to meet him and at the same time, she also wanted to help him, staying by his side forever. She knew how he was burdened by a lot of things on his mind, and she knew that she couldn't do much to help him, but she wanted to share his burden.

Kissing for a long time, their bodies started to get hot and they were about to continue to do something on the next stage, but suddenly there was a rain, and when they thought that it was only a drizzle it suddenly turned into a heavy rain.

However, both of them ignored it since this rain was unable to dim the fire inside their bodies until Bourne frowned when he knew that something was about to come in their direction.

'But what's this feeling?'

Bourne felt a strange feeling inside his heart.

Ultear kept kissing him and wanted to reach Bourne's leviathan, but she stopped when she noticed something was wrong. She parted her lips and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It seems there's something. Sorry, I know that you want it so much, but let's continue this later," Bourne said with a sigh.

Ultear blushed and slapped Bourne's head. "W - Who wants that thing?!" She snorted and wouldn't admit that she was perverted and wanted him to do that kind of thing to her.

"Alright, alright, I know that you're not lewd, but super lewd," Bourne said.

"BOURNE!!!!"

"Wait here, I'll go out for a bit," Bourne said and quickly left.

Looking at Bourne's back, Ultear sighed and wondered whether her fiance was a bad guy or a good guy, but well, whether he was a good or bad, it didn't really matter for her since she loved him. She moved to the driver seat and started to drive, but then the car crashed into the tree in front of her.

"...."
