Chapter 1
"Taurus Silver is a student at the National Magic University Affiliated High School, Mr. Shiba Tatsuya. People of Japan. I want you to convince Mr. Shiba Tatsuya."
The appearance of the mysterious personality in the video, calling himself one of the "Seven sages", caused a wide public outcry not only in Japan, but also in America.
In the field of Magic Science, Taurus Silver is given as much attention as the pioneer of the "Cardinal code", Kichijoji Shinkuro. But unlike Kichijoji, who had no new achievements since the discovery of the Cardinal Code for Weight-Type Magic, Taurus Silver, implemented a practical version for Flight-Type Magic, which was celebrated.
"Cardinal George" in the theoretical field and "Taurus Silver" in the technical field. This was the common view of Japan by the American Magic Association.
And now, hidden for all this time, the identity of Taurus Silver was revealed. Furthermore, it turned out that he was also a high school student like Kichijoji Shinkuro. This news, that became a sensation, attracted attention from those who ordinarily aren’t interested in magic.
Raymond laughed when he saw the reaction of ordinary people on the Internet, which he expected would be quite turbulent. He realized what he was doing was dark and therefore couldn’t enjoy it together with his friends from school.
His work in the role of "Seven sages" was a secret that was only known by himself and his father, Edward Clark. He couldn't boast about this in front of his simple friends.
The moment Raymond got up from the table and thought it was time for dinner, the home security system alerted him that his father returned home. At the same time, Raymond came to the realization that it is unusual for his father to appear in the daytime.
His father Edward comes home once or twice a week. When he needs his father, he usually goes to his office... And his mother divorced his father and left when Raymond was 10 years old.
The day of the week on which Edward usually came home hadn’t arrived yet.
Naturally Raymond realized that it was his "prank" that caused Edward's unusual actions.
"Dad, welcome back."
Of course he'll be angry. In anticipation of this, Raymond came out of his room and greeted his father with a smile.
"Raymond, that was a stupid thing to do!"
"Sorry."
Edward's voice was more rigorous than Raymond expected. However, Raymond's apology was only in words. Neither his thoughts nor the expression on his face hinted at any fear.
He understood that his father must be seriously angry.
"...But the result was convenient. If the privacy of the minor was violated the public opinion, media and human rights organizations would raise unnecessary fuss. I would have suffered greatly if I had taken this next step in the pursuit of Shiba Tatsuya."
"I'm glad I helped my dad."
Raymond only made a submissive face for a few seconds. Edward's reprimand and his true intentions that followed were within Raymond's expectations.
The USNA government, a democratic state, cannot openly violate the rights of magicians. Especially the rights of a minor. That is why Edward could not use the real name of Taurus Silver to control the public opinion of the Japanese. Despite this, he expected that for the USNA, it was most advantageous if the name "Shiba Tatsuya" would come under pressure of the public opinion.
But if this information was leaked from sources other than government officials, the government of the USNA will not be attacked by the media and human rights organizations. The disclosure of the identity of Taurus Silver by Raymond, who plays the role of one of the "Seven Sages", meets these requirements.
Raymond guessed this.
"Can I do anything else for dad?"
Raymond's question was not the desire to fulfill his duty as a son, but the desire to play further.
Edward squinted a little. Of course, he also realized what his son expected from his actions. He did not scold him because he came to the conclusion that "The Seven Sages" are quite useful.
"I plan to visit Japan in the near future."
"You, personally?" Edward nodded to Raymond's question.
"You want to go too?"
"Can I? I'll go!"
Raymond immediately accepted his father's proposal.
When Tatsuya watched the video addressed by the Seven Sages, it was 7
o'clock in the morning. It took three hours before he came out of deep reflection and started acting.
At 10 o'clock in the morning. Tatsuya called the main house of the Yotsuba.
"Sorry about the wait. Terrible things have happened, haven't they?"
Unlike the previous times, when he wanted to talk to Maya, this time she didn't pretend she wasn't there. However, instead of a dumbfounded expression, Maya's greeting, which appeared on the screen, contained not a drop of concern.
"Yes. I believe that we will no longer be able to confront this passively."
Tatsuya answered directly to the tantalizing words of Maya.
"...I wonder how we can respond well?"
Maya slightly knitted her eyebrows, showing that it would be unpleasant if expectations were not met.
"I called to talk about this."
Even when Maya showed that she was in a bad mood, the expression on Tatsuya’s face did not change. Not showing even a polite smile, he finished the entry and moved to the main issue.
“Do you have any ideas?”
“Yes...”
The light smile vanished from Maya's face, and she pondered. Tatsuya silently waiting for the answer, watching her image on the screen.
"I'll send a man to pick you up. It's a little early, but let's talk at lunch."
The second hand of the clock managed to make half a turn before Maya gave this order.
"Understood."
Tatsuya thought it wouldn’t be a problem if they discussed it on the phone. But he didn't mind a personal meeting to talk about it. Tatsuya respectfully bowed to the image of Maya on the screen.
Tatsuya arrived at the main house of Yotsuba at 11:30. Hanabishi Hyougo, who was sent to pick up Tatsuya, immediately led him inside the main building.
In the canteen, where the name of the successor was announced on New Year's Eve, everything was prepared for a joint dinner, but Maya was not there yet. Now Tatsuya no longer feared the authority of Maya. But he was pleased with the fact that he did not have to wait long for the person at the highest level of power in the family.
Maya appeared five minutes after Tatsuya took his place.
"I'm sorry I made you wait."
"No, nothing like that."
Tatsuya got up from the chair, and bowed to Maya in the dining room.
"Clear."
Having received permission from the nod of the displeased Maya, Tatsuya sat back on his chair.
Their places were opposite of each other. To make it easier to speak, the table was replaced by a smaller one compared to one from New Year's Eve.
Behind Maya stood Hayama, and behind Tatsuya stood Hyougo.
?
?
On the signal of Hayama, the female maids entered the dining room and put down the food.
It was not a full dinner, but only soup and some garnish, as to not disturb the conversation.
"Eat, don't be shy."
"With your permission."
As directed by Maya, Tatsuya picked up his chopsticks. Still, all his attention was directed to Maya.
"This time it was unexpected even for me.”
"For me, too."
So he wasn't embarrassed when she suddenly spoke to him.
"Tatsuya-san knew about him, didn't he?"
"Raymond Clark? Yes, but as I previously reported, we never communicated directly."
After the parasite incident was resolved, Tatsuya gave Maya the details of the case in a written report. The report also contained a complete rehash of the case where Raymond Clark offered his assistance in supplying information.
"I wonder if you could find out if there was a connection between Raymond Clark and Edward Clark."
"Its hard to say exactly. Although he offered to help with information on a permanent basis, I have since then not had any contact with him."
In that video message, Raymond said to Tatsuya, "I'll try and continue to give you information that you can count as important." But he never fulfilled that promise.
"I mean, did you forget about him?"
"In the sense that I didn't remember him, that's right. I only left the existence of Hli?skjálf in the depths of my memory, but I had to study the matter more seriously. I think Taurus Silver's identity was already known to Raymond Clark at the time of contact, but I'm sorry I couldn't catch him by surprise to reveal details about the tool he was using."
"...Well, this is the last thing, there's nothing to be done."
Maya's response sounded like some obscure hitch. Tatsuya thought, (Come on.)
"As you say."
As a result, he just bowed, pretending to agree.
"There's one more question, Tatsuya-san."
But Maya, during this momentary confusion, seems to have realized something important. She suddenly decided to change the subject.
"What did you do with your seal? I see it's been released."
"It was destroyed to increase my chances of victory against Juumonji-dono."
Tatsuya did not panic and was not afraid, so he immediately gave a direct answer to Maya's question. Besides, her question didn't sound like a charge.
"Destroyed? Not released?"
Maya with doubt inquiringly bowed her head. Her face showed that she doubted whether she had correctly heard.
"Yes. The vow itself was annulled." Tatsuya again answered Maya's question without fear and hesitation.
"This was very reckless..." Maya said.
"He was not an opponent that could be defeated without recklessness."
"Couldn't you win even in a sealed state?"
There were signs of accusations in Maya's voice. But it was concern about the recklessness of Tatsuya. For some reason, it was not a charge of unwittingly withdrawing the vow.
"But since you really won, it wasn't a mistake."
"I'm sorry to bother you."
Tatsuya could not understand Maya's real intentions, so he just briefly answered and bowed.
"So... It's time to move on to the main issue."
Was she satisfied with the answers, or was it just time? Maya urged Tatsuya to explain the plan for "retaliation".
Tatsuya had not finished eating, but he temporarily put his chopsticks down.
"I would like to get permission to hold a press conference in the main office of FLT."
"Are you saying you're going to take it personally?"
Maya slightly rounded her eyes.
"Yes."
"And what, I wonder, are you going to say to the journalists?" Maya asked, giving Tatsuya a curious look.
"I am going to announce a project of a plant for the processing of oceanic water using the 'Stellar Furnace'."
"'Stellar Furnace'? You mean the thermonuclear reactor you developed a sequence of magic of constant gravitational control for? What is this project?"
"The Extraction of both useful and harmful Substances from the Coastal Area of the Pacific Ocean using the Energy produced by the Stellar Furnace (extract both useful and harmful Substances from the Coastal area of the Pacific using Electricity generated by Stellar-Generator). The first letters of the basic words were taken from this phrase, and the abbreviation "project ESCAPES" was made."
Now, for the first time Tatsuya first revealed his true goal to Maya.
"...This is quite interesting. Tatsuya-san plans to achieve the creation of an independent State for magicians with this 'project ESCAPES'?"
"I did not plan to separate from the country. To cover all necessary necessities of life is unrealistic to be done by magicians alone."
"You won't even require autonomy status?"
"I think that this will be of little use, even if the government is too stimulating."
"You don't have a childish way of thinking."
Maya hid her mouth with her hand and narrowed eyes. But the expression on her face made it clear that she was silently laughing, but to Tatsuya, it was clear that it was not from a bad impression.
"It will be sufficient for me that the rights of magicians, guaranteed by public foundations, will indeed be protected."
"To get the government to implement this. That is Tatsuya-san’s purpose for this, isn't it?"
"Yes. Although I do not deny the possibility of obtaining real autonomy as a means to implement this."
Unable to tolerate any more, Maya laughed out loud.
"...Right. But I am sure that the general public will be against such a regime of governance as autonomy."
Maya laughed more, and then looked Tatsuya straight in the eye.
"I understand Tatsuya-san’s plan. I see that you have thought this through enough to succeed."
Tatsuya understood the meaning of Maya's words when she only marked herself by saying, "I see."
"Does that mean that the opinions of Aunt alone will not be enough to allow this?"
"Yes, it does. But not in the sense that we need approval from all the side branches."
Tatsuya silently stared at Maya's eyes, waiting for her to continue.
"It concerns sponsors, especially close to our Yotsuba family."
"Is it about His Excellency Toudou? Although I only know his name..."
"Ara, you're right."
Maya was a little surprised, but immediately nodded with an emotional smile on her face.
"Then the conversation will be short."
Maya wet her throat with green tea. When she returned the cup to the table, Hayama immediately replaced a new one for her.
"The conditions are that Tatsuya-san has to explain to His Excellency Toudou what we have just discussed, and to get his permission to do so. I'll arrange a meeting with His Excellency."
"Understood. I'm sorry to bother you."
Without showing any apprehension, Tatsuya bowed in a sign of consent.
"But since we need to make some preparations at FLT, let's define an action plan. How about Friday, in four days, at 10 o'clock in the morning?"
"I don't have any plans, so I don't mind."
After all these events, Tatsuya’s schedule, as a student, a developer, and as a special officer, was empty. He therefore accepted in an instant to Maya’s proposal.
"The press conference will be postponed if His Excellency will not be able to meet in the near future. And if you can't get His Excellency's consent, it will be canceled."
"This is inevitable, I understand."
"Yes."
Maya nodded with a smile, looking at the demonstration of submission by Tatsuya.
As soon as the meeting with Maya was over, Tatsuya went back to the villa in Izu. He originally did not plan to stay there, but no one was going to hold him.
Since the new year the attitude of the servants to Tatsuya has changed a lot. However, due to the fact that he was seldomly in the main house, respect was extremely scant.
"...Tatsuya-san does not seem to care at all."
Sitting in her office, which was her "personal space", Maya unwittingly said part of her thoughts aloud.
The nearby Hayama heard her words.
But he didn't comment on the muttering Maya, and just put a cup of tea in front of her.
"Hayama-san..."
"Yes, Madam?"
Although by Maya's voice it was possible to think that she was talking to herself, but Hayama answered her calling voice without panic or confusion.
"What do you think about it... About what Tatsuya-san told us?"
"Speaking of the story of Tatsuya, do you mean the question of the vow? Or is it about the press conference?"
"I speak about both questions... Right, first I'd like to hear Hayama-san's opinion about the abolishment of the Vow."
"Yes, indeed... In my humble opinion, this will not cause any particular problems."
"The vow itself was removed, but there will be no problems?"
Maya asked Hayama with unconcealed surprise in her voice.
"With all due respect, but was not the role of the Vow completed when Tatsuya became the groom of the next Head-sama?"
"but wasn’t his seal intended to insure obedience to the Yotsuba family?"
"I know. But madam. I dare say it rudely, but you seriously think that it is necessary to fear the current Tatsuya’s magic going out of control?"
"A complete vow withdrawal. This means that Tatsuya can now at any given time, 24 hours a day show all 100% of his magical abilities.
This means that he can freely use Material Burst."
"Initially Tatsuya’s power was sealed out of fear of uncontrollable activation of Material Burst."
Anger, sadness, hatred, if only one of these arises and the boy could in turn instantly attack any point of the world with magic, the destructive power of which surpasses any strategic nuclear missile. Even if the Earth itself is not destroyed, all sentient beings on it will be easily destroyed. And people are no exception.
To prevent such a situation, the Yotsuba family sealed the force of Tatsuya.
But the seal was not complete. The Yotsuba family did not renounce the power with which only one person can confront the whole world.
They valued this power.
By conducting a pre-determined procedure, Tatsuya could temporarily gain the ability to use the Material Burst at his own discretion.
The seal of the vow was needed to prevent the impulsive use of destructive magic by Tatsuya, regardless of his intentions. It was installed in case he could not control his magic.
But the vow connected not only Tatsuya’s magic abilities.
The binding spell on Tatsuya was designed to use the magic power of Miyuki. To keep the power of Tatsuya sealed, so the vow consumed a large amount of Miyuki’s power.
The vow is not needed when Tatsuya can hold his magic under the control of his will.
"We can say that the vow was not 'not necessary', but rather a harmful thing that reduced the fighting power of the Yotsuba family, suppressing the forces of two powerful magicians, Tatsuya and Miyuki."
Maya received from Hayama a rather unexpected opinion, and could not immediately answer it.
"The ability of Tatsuya in the management of magic is such that it competes for first or second place in the entire Yotsuba. We can say that it is the highest level in the whole world."
"...Right. At least he's taller than me."
Hayama neither confirmed nor refuted Maya’s assessment.
"As long as no misfortune comes to Miyuki-sama, the magic of Tatsuya-sama will not get out of control."
"And if something happens to Miyuki-san, the vow will not stop the riot of magic... that is what Hayama-san is trying to say?"
"You're right. Therefore, I believe that the Yotsuba family should protect Miyuki-sama by any means. I apologize for my cheeky words."
"I understand, this is clearly a fact."
Maya reached for a cup of tea, but halfway removed her hand and sighed deeply.
"To have so much force, indeed, troublesome. If we want to use it, after all, it will be abusive of us. And if we want to isolate it, we won't be able to ignore it anyway."
"We cannot say that there is no threat. To compromise, to betray oblivion, or surrender? If we do not use the force that is the source of the threat, then surrendering to the enemy is only a temporary solution."
"You're right, Hayama-san. As long as the enemy is not devoid of strength, surrender is not a solution. But if this force is inseparable from the enemy's essence, there is no other choice but to destroy it."
"But this is only in case you can't compromise, right?"
"It is the common opinion that the search for a compromise is one of the options for postponing problems... But in our case it will be quite difficult, wouldn't it? Because the threat of this magic is exposed to all countries of the world."
"Do you think that there will be people planning to kill Tatsuya-sama?"
While Hayama asked, he replaced the contents of the tea cup.
"I think that there are already some forces that have reached the phase of practical execution."
Taking the cup in hand, Maya said this before touching her lips.
"This is a pretty big deal."
Maya lateral vision caught the expression on Hayama’s face. Contrary to Maya's expectations, Hayama was not smiling. Maya felt that she should somehow change the subject.
"But Tatsuya-san can't be killed, can he?"
"I think so. Tatsuya is almost immortal. However, Miyuki is not."
Maya put the tea cup on the table so abruptly that there was a loud ringing.
"...What happens if Miyuki-san falls from an assassination attempt aimed at Tatsuya-san?"
"I believe that the people of the Yotsuba family should try to avoid this possibility by any means."
After answering Hayama, Maya plunged into silence.
"Miyuki is protected by Tatsuya like no other. Even now when they are in different places, this is not a hindrance to Tatsuya. Tatsuya’s protection is effective from any distance."
Magical ability that can dissipate the very essence of magic, that is his sequence of magic.
And another ability that can cancel fatal injuries until the person has died.
Maya felt relieved when she reminded herself that Miyuki was safe because she was protected by Tatsuya.
But it is obvious that Tatsuya is not all-powerful.
The victory against Juumonji Katsuto was not easy.
Tatsuya was unable to neutralize the protective version of the Phalanx.
He is able to dispel any sequence of magic, but that does not mean that he can neutralize any potential magic.
To defeat Katsuto, Tatsuya had to use a physical attack in the form of a neutron beam.
It is impossible to stop that neutron beam, because simultaneously with irradiation, the use of a neutron barrier is impossible. But you can evade it. In addition, "Baryon Lance" is a magic that puts a lot of strain on Tatsuya’s magic calculation area, so if it is dodged, it creates a serious gap in his defense.
Tatsuya himself will never die, no matter how he is attacked. However, it is not accurate to say that there will be no cases of such an attack, from which he won’t be able to protect Miyuki, because this will cause fatal trauma against him. Perhaps a magician capable of making such an attack exists somewhere in this world.
No, not "perhaps." Tatsuya received heavy damage, losing one hand from the cannon of charged particles from Angie Sirius... Although with modern regenerative medicine, he would eventually recover even without his superpower "Regrowth".
In addition, Tatsuya was unable to neutralize "Tuman Bomba" in the Soya Strait. And the reason was not because he was remotely kneeling from the base of Kasumigaura. Also, he would have been defeated by Katsuto if he hadn't prepared Baryon Lance in advance.
"... Hayama-san wants to say that the protection of Tatsuya-san leads to the protection of Miyuki-san, and that, in addition leads to the fact that the magic of Tatsuya-san will not get out of control?"
"I think that even in a sealed state, Tatsuya will never be defeated.
However, does the limitation of Tatsuya-sama’s power, limiting his ability to protect Miyuki-sama not contradict the original goal to prevent the rampage of Material Burst?"
"True... You may be right, Hayama-san."
Maya relaxed her shoulders and leaned back in the chair.
"If you consider the ability of Tatsuya-san, who does not allow his magic to go out of control, the limitation of force can be said to give a reverse effect."
Hayama respectfully bowed to Maya.
"Well. I give my permission to destroy the Vow."
Not "Ignore", but "Allow".
Hayama slightly raised his eyebrows with surprise.
"Mitsugu-san and Touka-san may raise some noise on this, but if that goes too far, I'll talk to them myself to convince them."
"As you will. I will try not to bother Madame with this question as much as possible."
"Yes, thank you."
Thus, Maya and Hayama finished with the topic of allowing the removal of Tatsuya's seal.
"By the way, what do you think about 'Project ESCAPES'?"
"It's amazing."
After hearing Hayama’s voice filled with unexpected emotions, Maya turned to him in surprise. The person standing next to Maya, Hayama, looked the same as his words indicated.
"You really appreciate it, don't you?"
"Project Dione by Edward Clark was an idealistic project that the responsible magician has difficulty resisting."
"...Indeed, it is difficult to go against what is positioned as the dream of all mankind."
If humankind adheres to the current growth rate, it will sooner or later be faced with problems such as limited space on earth and a lack of resources. A plan to address this issue has been presented.
It was stated that this requires the power of magic, and it is impossible to refuse cooperation. Even if it is necessary to sacrifice the lives of magicians, if they renounce it, they will be called traitors of humanity.
Regardless of the success or failure of the project.
"However, Tatsuya’s project itself demonstrates another solution. Let it be fair, it direct opposes the plan of Edward Clark."
"As for its grandiosity, the plan of Tatsuya-san is a couple of steps inferior to 'Project Dione'."
Maya seemed to think Hayama overestimated the proposed plan by Tatsuya.
So she ironically objected to the words of Hayama.
"I mean, it's more realistic."
But Hayama did not praise the plan of Tatsuya in a burst of feelings.
"It seems that capital owners prefer to invest in cases that show more realistic prospects."
It seems that he first of all assessed the effectiveness of the plan as a means of retaliation.
"...Theoretically, this is the case..."
With a slight sense of unwillingness to admit her defeat, Maya agreed with the opinion of Hayama.
"As Madam said, the chance of success of a fairy tale, which is a pipe dream, is rather low. But it benefits from the power of persuasion from the assistance provided by other countries."
"It would be good if His Excellency decides the same."
"Can Tatsuya persuade Toudou Aoba? It all depends on whether Tatsuya can overcome this deadlock."
"By the way, Madam."
This time Hayama changed the subject, not answering the muttering Maya.
"What is it?"
"As I mentioned before, I do not think that a compromise is impossible."
"...For the question of the Tatsuya-san’s magic threatening the whole world?"
"Yes. Tatsuya-sama earlier said that he did not deny the possibility of getting magicians themselves. If Tatsuya-sama will act not individually, but on an equal basis with representatives of the State, there will be no need for compromise."
On the same day, when a mysterious man revealed the identity of Taurus Silver.
From that very morning the media stormed the entrance of First high.
Classes started earlier than usual, so there would be no pupils caught on the way to school, who would be surrounded and have microphones waved before them. But by the beginning of the second lesson, both the main and service gates were completely crammed with the employees of various mass media companies.
The reporters requested materials on Tatsuya, but the school rejected all requests.
Given the importance of protecting the privacy of the minor, as he did not commit anything illegal, this is normal even though he did not attend school.
Despite the refusal to issue information, the media did not give up. No, that seems to have been unimportant from the start, whether the school will allow it or not. Even when the morning half of the classes ended, and a lunch break came, a crowd of journalists still captivated the whole neighborhood around the school.
"They're still here..."
"It seems even more of them have shown up."
On the words of Izumi, who was watching the main gate of the school from the window of the school board, an exhausted voice from Kasumi answered her, also observing the situation on the street.
"The back gate is full of reporters..." added Honoka with a timid voice.
She could see the situation outside, sitting in her place, because she directed the light rays to her field of view. In fact, it was a violation of school rules for using unauthorized magic, but here and now no one was going to complain.
"It's going to be a problem when everyone goes home from school." A frowning Miyuki murmured.
"Should we call the police?"
Miyuki slightly shook her head at the offer of Shizuku.
"Let the teachers think about it. We cannot make such decisions ourselves."
"Understood."
It was just a fleeting idea, and Shizuku didn't cling to it.
"But President, I think we will not be able to reach our house safely only by our efforts..." with a helpless expression on her face, Shiina turned to Miyuki.
If Saburou was here, he wouldn't have any qualms to say something like, "I will protect you," to cheer Shiina up, but it looks like he was having trouble communicating with the school board, so he stayed away from the room.
When Shiina said, "only by her own efforts," she naturally hinted that they would not use magic. Theoretically, magic can be used for self-defense. But the definition of the legality of using magic for self-defense was greatly hampered. If press freedom is used as a shield, even though they are minors, the likelihood that the use of magic is legitimate will be rather low. For so-called "experts" there was still a deep rooted evil, which sees "journalism" as something sacred.
Miyuki, apparently, also feared this situation.
"We need to think about some countermeasures." She answered with a serious expression of her face.
Needless to say, the First High School was not the only place where the media was. Many reporters also crowded near the work place of Taurus Silver, the office of Four Leaves Technology. There were a lot of reporters, openly recording everything on camera, because there was no need to pay attention to the privacy of minors. If they were not involved in the media, they could be suspected of interfering in official business.
However, after noon a break came to this frantic activity to gather information.
But it happened not because common sense woke up in the journalists and reporters.
Two o'clock in the afternoon. The media received a response from FLT
with the consent to provide information.
"...In four days we will hold a press conference by Taurus Silver. It will be held on Friday at 10 o'clock in the morning in this building on the first floor, so today we ask you to leave. Those who do not leave this place will be refused to visit the press conference.
In addition, if there are complaints about the collection of information not only from the staff of our firm, but also from students of the First Magic High School, the attendant will also be refused to visit."
After a young office worker in charge of public relations appeared, a loud voice announced the decision, immediately among the press there were those who objected to it. In general, they only, in varying degrees, expressed frustration, but the reason behind the shouting was roughly the same.
"This is a violation of press freedom!"
It was a boilerplate phrase. However unexpected it was, the journalists stopped their onslaught.
