Undercurrents

The two observed the school below, the atmosphere was gloomy after the recent incident where the majority of the second years of Ryoukuu High were assumed dead.

"For now we should just observe and silently protect the survivors. I'll go with the delinquent guy, Samejima Kouki. Raskreia and the other girls are also on their way to protect the last two."

"Alright," Without further thought, Vali went off to stalk *ahem* protect Minagawa Natsume.

Raizel went on his way as well.

.....

Frankenstein was in his laboratory as usual to do his experiments. It would just be another day doing his experiments in peace or so it should have been.

"I understand, master. I will dispatch some of our agents to investigate more."

[I'll leave it to you. Also, talk with Lady Yasaka regarding the current situation. Then try to stall the Five Principal Clans or negotiate with them if necessary. If all does not go well, you can do as you please.]

The call ended.

"Five Principal Clan..."

Frankenstein muttered before leaving his laboratory.

He needs to handle the mission entrusted to him with care. One wrong move could lead to a political fallout with the supernatural factions governing Japan, the Shinto Pantheon.

The political fallout is a worst-case scenario for their faction as it would hinder all plans prepared by his master. Not only that, the current strength of their faction is still not enough. If it's only the five clans then it is a problem but the Shinto Pantheon is another story.

"Whew...Looks like I need to meet with Lady Yasaka first." He smirked. After all, he knew the relationship between the faction led by Yasaka and the principal clans.

Though the two were under Shinto influence, they were in a hostile relationship.

.....

"Are they ready?" The man glanced at the researcher in front of him.

"Yes, they can be deployed now. It would have taken at least two months if not for the help of–"

"Stop right there, no one can know our involvement with them." Himejima Hanezu glared at the man.

"Y-yes!"

"Leave now. Send them to capture the four."

"Understood!"

Hanezu watched as the man left. His thoughts lingered on those people that helped them in their experiments.

"It's dangerous to get any more involved with them," He muttered. Although they certainly have the strength to help him and his organization in their revenge, those people are far too dangerous.

They were enough to shake the balance of the three biblical factions with just a little information he knew about them.

Hanezu quickly shook off whatever thoughts he had and go off to do some work.

.....

"Have you two tracked the Hyouskue Koga?" Raskreia asked through their communication magic.

[Yes nya~]

[We just need to observe him for now right?]

"Yes, that's what Raizel ordered," She said.

[Okay nya~]

[Roger that, Reia]

Their communication stopped. She then thought of the best course of action she could do and decided.

She disguised herself as a student of the school her target was attending and used an area-wide mind-altering spell so the students will know her as a transfer student in the same class as the target, Nanadaru Shigure.
