PRETTY MUCH SORRY FOR THE LONG POST, EIGHT CLASSES IS BIT TOO TIME CONSUMING BUT HERE IS THE NEXT CHAPTER
CHAPTER 1: OPENING CURTAIN
"So, these are all the records you have on the war from a thousand years ago against the Earl." Komui was going through documents that the Order had, but the accuracy was way off compared to the information posted by Book-man. The Order's challenges has increased with the inspectors from Central raiding and assuming command in each department unannounced, and with suspicion that Brokers have entered the Order as finders. Just when the problems of Level 4 appearing began to take its toll, the Earl might also know every movement of the Exorcists out on the field. All he hopes for is to turn the pendulum back and just briefly see how the Earl fell back then. Only Book-man can show him a little insight on that matter.
"Yes, the previous Book-men during that era assisted the Order just like Lavi and me. But, unlike us, records show that the Book-men were divided into two factions, the Order and the Earl. Even though Book-men only watch fro the sidelines, I believe this was to record data from the victor's side and record their upcoming future as well. Though I fear that some information is missing."
"I see, the Earl also had information like this available to him. I can't hate them for doing what they did because thats what you do, but to know that the Earl can also see his mistakes. I can't allow anymore Exorcist casualties."
"Yes, and now that there are ruling governments and the economy, the Earl has found new methods to succeed: money, alliances, civil wars, and control of those governments. The more chaos that results, the more tragedies that will happen in people's lives."
"And with each pain, akuma will continue to born. The Earl's awakening gave him a great advantage."
"I understand the fears that consume you, more for the safety of your little sister. But time and patience is all we have left." Book-man stood up and headed towards door, leaving the depressed chief to look for the clues he desperately needed not win the war, but to prevent more losses. Komui looked up at Book-man and reminded, "Lavi is still recovering, along with Miranda Lotto. Their innocences are still intact but their weapons need to be rebuild once again. I know about patience, but for them to be alive after fighting three Level 4, time is something we don't have anymore."
Book-man turned back to look at Komui with tears in his eyes for his next successor. "I know, Even if we are at a disadvantage, praying to the creator of the innocence isn't a bad thing to do once in a while." Book-man looked up, referring to god.
"Heheh, that is something I do ever since Lenalee became an exorcist and Allen lived after his innocence was destroyed."
"Speaking of Allen, how is that boy doing?"
Komui looked at Book-man with a painful stare. How can he say that the once cheerful boy has changed to one with nothing left? No longer smiles with his friends but locks himself up in his room, waiting for Cross's sightings. "He's fine, still feeling remorse about Cross though."
"That poor boy, not only being denied Marshall ranks because of the Noah within him but the only person who also shared a small part in his life is probably dead. His friends must fe-"
Reever came running into Komui's office with a face of disbelief. Komui looked at the bewildered supervisor for the reason of his shocked appearance. He looked as if someone has died. Hopefully not Lenalee, he thought.
"Reever, why the sudden intrusion?"
"Komui, the Asian Branch." Both the other looked Reever with shock as the Asia branch is mentioned. What happened over there? Reever took a deep breath and tried to finish his message.
"The Asia Branch has ceased to exist."
