Edwin jolted at the sudden interruption, coughing as a layer of dust filled the air.
His eyes widened in shock before his expression twisted into one of pure fury.
He roared, sputtering spittle everywhere.
"Who dares to barge in here!"
He quickly regained his composure, his initial surprise giving way to indignation. Turning toward the two researchers with him, he fixed his gaze on the Esper among them and pointed sharply at the doorway.
"Go and find out who it is! Tie him up and drag him here! How dare that guy damage the door to my room in the Association!"
Edwin had barely finished speaking when an indifferent voice echoed from the entrance to the room, where the door had just been kicked open.
"What is going on here?"
The voice sounded vaguely familiar, but Edwin could not immediately place it.
Where had he heard it before?
