Kazuya stared at the plane in the sky above the tennis courts. He felt a little conflicted because that was the plane that Kou rode heading towards the south. He was supposed to have been the one stopping his grandfather from leaving their place again yet due to their conversation yesterday, he was the one who eventually let him leave temporarily.

The moment his grandfather needed time before he could open the new lock on his research building, Kazuya knew that he couldn't be his predecessor. What he needed to know instead was where his grandfather learned to open such locks as well as his capabilities and knowledge about mana.

It was possible that he could have learned it from current studies but the problem was, there were no such studies in their world today. If there were, there would have been a common term but all of it was known as urban legends or supernatural. It was at least, on the surface of their current understanding of the world.
