What was the worst part about having to stay longer in Ro?
Factually, it was that he had to keep breathing the sa air as ngele. Because there had always been a chance for so kind of proof of power being required, John had planned with the additional days in mind. Romulus had warned him from the start that this was likely to happen. Whether it was truly necessary for anything that could not imdiately be solved diplomatically to turn into a tournant was a question John had to consider at tis. However, when in Ro, do as Romulus suggests.
Theoretically, it was that John had to fight for the position in the first place. That was, however, greatly negated by the fact that he rather enjoyed combat. A part of him was looking forward to the challenge these arcane elentals would hopefully pose. The Purest Front wouldn’t have put them forward if they did not consider there to be so hope they could win. That was worriso on one hand. On the other, it had been too long since John had clashed with a non-Raid enemy that posed a proper challenge.
Figuratively, the worst was that he now was exposed to Lu Zhi for an additional five days.
And that was dangerous.
Really, really dangerous.
John had barely left behind the court, when his phone buzzed. For various reasons, he was keeping the device in his pocket for the stay. One of them was to give himself a deliberate weakness. A phone on his body was a clear target for any enemy technomancer around. Since he could, with confidence, assu that Scarlett could counter-intelligence basically any effort made against him, it was pure bait.
No one had taken it. Competent opponents rarely did.
John still made it a deliberately visible motion when he pulled out his phone and checked it. That switched imdiately when he realized he had gotten a ssage from one ‘Green Miracle’ on Discord. Putting two and two together, John accelerated his steps and quickly found himself in a corner. He unlocked the screen and checked.
