xorion1997: Thanks! I'll try to make the chapters longer. I hope this one's long enough.

ferduran: I hope that this chapter will answer your question.

: Thank you for the advice! I tried to make this one more descriptive.

"Yes Hayama," Miyuki replied. "Onii-sama and I will surely visit Oba-sama this weekend."

Miyuki sighed and hung up.

What did Oba-sama want this time? She knew that the selection meeting was coming up and Oba-sama had to announce her heir, which was she herself, Shiba Miyuki. Maybe she was going to come up with a plan of presenting her to the other clans.

Oh, well, Miyuki thought, time to tell Onii-sama.

As usual, Miyuki found him in the basement making renovations for a new CAD he designed.

"Um, Onii-sama," she stuttered while blushing.

"Yes, Miyuki," answered Tatsuya, still typing away on his calibration device.

"Oba-sama requested us to go visit her this weekend. She says she has important information she wants to discuss with us." Tatsuya suddenly stopped typing.

"Well, then we'll make arrangements. Miyuki, will you help me pack?"

"Yes, of course, Onii-sama!" squealed Miyuki. Onii-sama was actually asking for her help! Of course she would cater to his every need.

Then she ran out of the room before Tatsuya got to thank her. Instead he chuckled. "Oh, Miyuki," he said.


Saturday soon arrived and Tatsuya and Miyuki found themselves in front of the Yotsuba main house.

It was spring and Tatsuya was wearing a black button-down shirt and formal but flexible (allowing free movement) pants that let him fulfill his duties as a guardian. Miyuki was wearing a sundress, with a wide-brimmed hat. To any passerby, they looked like any other brother-sister pair.

Then the door to the main house opened with Hayama greeting them.

"Welcome back," he cheerfully said while leading them through a series of hallways to the main meeting room. "It's been no fun without you kids here."

Tatsuya cracked a small smile.

Hayama finally led them to the main meeting room. In the middle of the room sat the head of the Yotsuba, Yotsuba Maya.

As always, she looked breathtaking. With a generous body and long flowing hair, she looked like a death goddess in her purple dress. Tatsuya and Miyuki both began to feel cautious in the presence of their aunt.

"It's wonderful to see my cute little niece and nephew again," Maya greeted them. "Oh, look at how much you've grown!"

"What do you want?" Tatsuya asked suspiciously.

Maya giggled. "Oh just like your mother. Always cutting straight to the point. What do I want, you ask? I just have a little surprise for you two. Follow me."

Miyuki hid behind Tatsuya, and they cautiously followed Maya to another room, where they could make out the silhouettes of two figures behind a room with curtains. As they approached closer, Tatsuya and Miyuki could make out the shapes of two women.

"I'd like to introduce you to one of my friends and her daughter. I invited them here to meet with you today," Maya said.

Then she pushed the curtains aside. There sat two women, one older, about Maya's age, and one younger, looking like a high school student, about the same age as Tatsuya and Miyuki.

The older woman looked sophisticated and beautiful, though she couldn't rival Maya. She held herself with an air of authority.

The younger woman was breathtaking with beauty that could put her on par with Miyuki. She wore a traditional Japanese dress, but cut much lower, about thigh height, and that had long flowing sleeves. Her hair was smooth and silky, and had a white flower tied into it. As soon as she saw Tatsuya she smiled a smile that could make the sun cry and said,"Hello. I am Yatsushiro Sayo. Pleased to meet you."

The other woman, the brother and sister pair assumed that it was Sayo's mother, said, "I never knew you had children Maya."

"I don't. They are my sister's."

"I see. And I presume that the young man will be Sayo's fiancé?"

At that, the room temperature suddenly plummeted. Even Tatsuya had a shocked face for a split second. But only for a split second. You could've only noticed it if you paid attention extremely closely.

But the real problem at the time was Miyuki. Her Outer Interference Magic was so strong, that there was no doubt that Miyuki was the one using such powerful magic. Yume and Sayo got a taste of her magic firsthand.

"Well I see that the young man's sister has good magical ability. What about the young man himself, Maya?"

"He possesses two innate magics that do not let him wield other magics freely. He is a BS magician-"

"Do you really believe I would marry my daughter to such an abomination then?! He probably doesn't even have enough psions to create another generation of powerful magicians for the Yatsushiro family! How dare you invite Sayo and I here to meet such a thing!"

That was the last straw for Miyuki. "How dare you insult Onii-sama! He wields magic only suited for gods. What do you know of his magic? Do you know that his Decomposition can break down tany design or structure? For information bodies, such as magic spells, he can directly disassemble the design. For physical objects, he can break them down into their constituent molecules, or even further into pure energy. If used on a person, the parts that form the human body, including skin, flesh, nerves, body fluids, bones, and cellular structures would be decomposed at a molecular level. Furthermore, with no retaliation, Onii-sama is capable of decomposing 36 targets simultaneously, but under constant fire his upper limit for mass targeting is 24. His other innate magic is Regrowth. He can read the structural information of any object and restore it up to 24 hours in the past. It emits no detectable psions and activates and finishes so quickly beyond the speed of human cognition. He is a Strategic-Class Magician! Now do you still dare insult Onii-sama?"

Miyuki's rant left Yume and Sayo astounded. They had never heard of any magician so powerful. Sayo could also be considered a Strategic-Class since she possessed the ability to break apart the nucleus of atoms, but Tatsuya's Regrowth magic was unheard of. Yume felt sorry that she so sharply scoffed at Tatsuya. Her head was buried in unimaginable shame at her underestimation of Maya's nephew.

"So now you know my nephew's true abilities. Thank you Miyuki-chan."

No reply from Miyuki, she was still fuming. If that was the correct word. The room was still ice-cold.

Sayo spoke up. "I am truly sorry for my mother's behavior. I beg that you will forgive her. She has the habit of speaking before she thinks. Please forgive us." She then hung her head in shame.

"It's fine. I get that a lot. I accept your apology." Sayo looked up. Into those ice blue eyes of that silent boy, her fiancé, whom her mother just offended so deeply. But those eyes showed no emotion. He looked like a god though, just as his sister had called him. He had that windswept hair and muscular but lithe body that most boys would envy. From what his sister just said, Sayo thought he might be a god of destruction.

"Thank you," whispered Sayo.

"Anyways Sayo, Tatsuya and Miyuki go to First High School," Maya cut in. "I believe that you don't go to a normal school do you?"

"No. My mother actually trains and teaches me herself because she feels that I wouldn't fit in at school. I am very advanced at Magic Engineering, Magic Theory, and practical magic in general."

"Well then Sayo, what do you think about going there with Tatsuya and Miyuki? You're going to be living with them as well. It is proper that you should get familiar with your fiancé right?"
