"Alright Sensei, we have to attend the school, Miyuki has to give a speech due to being the First-Year Class Representative." (Tatsuya)
Today was their first day at the [First-High School], they need to make it before the opening ceremony and get registered.
"Oni-san should have been selected as the Class Representative." (Miyuki)
Miyuki very well understood the true capabilities of her brother so seeing him being ignored by the authorities frustrated her to no ends.
"He did exceptionally good in theory evaluation!" (Miyuki)
"Hoho...I am sure, Miyuki. Unfortunately, your brother doesn't want to attract attention to himself." (Kokonoe)
Kokonoe had a knowing smile on his face, he understood the personality of his student very well.
"Sigh...." (Miyuki)
Knowing that their sensei was stating facts, Miyuki lets out a tired sigh.
"Don't worry, I believe that Tatsuya-kun will have his time to shine!" (Kokonoe)
The baldy smiled with a playful expression resurfacing on his face.
"Now, off you both go...." (Kokonoe)
He made a shooing motion with his hands as he walked towards the main hall.
Both the brother-sister pair bid farewell to their sensei and headed down the temple stairs.
"Needs pick up the pace, Miyuki." (Tatsuya)
"Alright, Oni-san." (Miyuki)
A magic circle emerged under their respective feet each.
Using her psion to temporarily freeze the ground she was walking on, Miyuki skated forward whereas Tatsuya concentrated his psion under his feet to give him a speed burst.
Both of them headed straight towards the [First-High School], passing a black colored sedan which seemed to be heading in the direction the Shiba siblings came from.
---
A black sedan stops at the Kokonoe temple steps, a young man wearing the [First-High School] dress stepped out of the car.
Unlike Tatsuya, he had the school logo on his uniform. Signifying his status as a bloom but what was more eye-catching about his dress was the [Advisor] band on his shoulder.
He looked in the direction the Shiba Siblings took off before looking towards the stairs leading to the temple.
His chartreuse phosphorescent eyes had an unreadable twinkle.
Clink!
The passenger side door of the sedan opened as another individual step out of the car, respectfully standing behind the young man.
The figure's face was covered with a hood like cloth which matched their clothes.
The two bulges on the front of the dress along with the figure of the newcomer made it possible to identify the gender of the individual.
Both of them made their way to the main hall using the stairs to climb up the temple.
At the top of the stairs, stood the baldy ninja with a smile on his face.
"Welcome, Mr.Erik! I got your message, come inside so we can talk without any interruptions." (Kokonoe)
Kokonoe invited both Erik and Miya inside the main hall, the place where Kokonoe trains and practices the [Ancient Magic].
The three of them sat inside a tatami room, Kokonoe ordered one of his students to prepare tea for the guests.
"Thank you, Kokonoe..." (Erik)
"...for approving of my request to organize this meeting." (Erik)
"It's alright, Mr.Erik." (Kokonoe)
"So, what can I do for you?" (Kokonoe)
"If it is about the testing of the new C.A.Ds then they are still under work. The various tests are still being conducted to make a better C.A.D." (Kokonoe)
"I am not here as a Horsemen, but I require your assistance in tracking down [The Puppet Master]." (Erik)
The puppet master was a terrorist who had similar magic when compared to Erik's puppet ability.
Unlike Erik who can only manipulate living beings as his puppet, [The Puppet Master] specializes his manipulating people into doing things he wishes them to do.
A few weeks ago, there had been a rumor floating around within the country that this criminal had succeeded in acquiring the codes of the nuclear missiles.
He could even sell those codes to [No Head Dragon] in exchange for whatever he wants, if that terrorist group got hold of a nuke then it would change many things.
This was a very dangerous matter and Erik didn't want to take any chance.
He already had his hands full with finding the other pieces of [Dream Chaser Technology] and getting the license for marketing their new C.A.Ds.
Thus, he decided to ask his fellow Horsemen, Kokonoe Yakumo.
"I will try, Mr.Erik." (Kokonoe)
"With my connections and network, it shouldn't be too hard to find him. Do you want me to take 'care' of him or will you deal with him yourself?" (Kokonoe)
"I would like to deal with him myself, in case I can get some more information about [No Head Dragon] and their goal." (Erik)
Erik wanted to go through the memories of [The Puppet Master] to see if he could find any clues about the next piece of Dream Tech.
"Alright..." (Kokonoe)
Knowing that Erik has other plans, Kokonoe agrees to find the terrorist and keep an eye on him.
Rather than making a move himself.
"With this out of the way, I also wanted to inform you that we are very close to releasing the new generation of C.A.D." (Erik)
"This wouldn't have been possible without your support." (Erik)
Showing appreciation and acknowledgment to the Bald ninja, Erik thanks him for the work he is doing to facilitate the research.
"It is my honor to help you make a C.A.D that can even help the [Ancient Magicians] in casting." (Kokonoe)
"Not to mention, as the [Fourth Horsemen]. I must invest in the project, make sure that the research bear fruits." (Kokonoe)
The new generation of C.A.D would balance the pros and cons of [Ancient Magic]. It was specifically made to facilitate the complex sequence which is generally hard to activate using a standard C.A.D.
Kokonoe was invited by Erik to help deal with the problems a [Ancient Magician] has to deal with while activating a spell.
They have spent a whole year designing a C.A.D that can speed up the casting process of the [Ancient Magic] and amplify the power of the [Modern Magic].
Balancing them so that everyone has the same advantages.
"So what do you plan to do with [Blanche]?" (Kokonoe)
"It is time to uproot them, once and for all." (Erik)
"I have already waited for 2-years to get the information that I wanted. Even the government officials have located the other bases within the country." (Erik)
"It's time to take action." (Erik)
"I see..." (Kokonoe)
---
Erik bid farewell to the bald ninja and headed towards the school, wanting to observe everything going on within the [First-High School].
