Viper and the "Iron Jaw" behind her—a burly man built like a small hill, his skin gleaming with a metallic sheen—exchanged a glance, each catching a trace of understanding and a faint, subtle emotion in the other's eyes.
Iron Jaw split his mouth in a wide grin, revealing a smile framed by metal braces on his teeth. "Sounds suffocating enough. But…" His tone shifted, his gaze turning deep, "for the Judgement Court to drag all of us in from every corner and pile us together like this, I'm afraid this is far from just 'boring'."
Just then.
The heavy doors of the Administration Division slid open without a sound, and a young man in a Judgement Court assistant's uniform, his expression severe, appeared at the entrance. His eyes swept precisely over the people gathered outside, including the just-arrived Demon Slayers squad.
"NM-07 Shadowtrace Squad, NM-03 Bloodstain Squad, NM-05 Ghost Claw Squad, NM-09 Sentinel Squad, and… the Soul Guardian sequence 'Demon Slayers' Squad."
