Could Lumi be in the protection squads? Road didn't know, not for certain. She knew the name of every Captain, and their Vice, that information wasn't hard to get. The lower ranks, however, she hadn't bothered with.

There was no way someone as powerful as Lumi was only a third or fourth ranked.

Unless he was much less powerful than he seemed? It didn't seem likely, but it was a possibility she could completely dismiss. Total suppression was hard, doing it all the time was harder, but you had to admit, it would be a good way of hiding the fact that you weren't that scary after all.

"Maybe he's weaker than we thought," she suggested. "It'd be fun to find out."
