The Black Dragons

by Code 089

Blanche, The No Head Dragons, these groups use magic to defy the law and do as they please. In the criminal underworld, respect is earned through strength, and there is no one stronger than the Black Dragons and its two enigmatic heads. However, when those two heads disappear they think it's their time to rule the underworld. But who said disappear meant gone forever?

The Irregular at Magic High School: The Black Dragons

Chapter 3: Enrollment Part III

Azusa and Suzune set Hanzo against the wall as Tatsuya walked back toward his CAD case. Behind him, Mari was quietly paying Kurisu and Mayumi. Mari then turned to face Tatsuya.

"Hold up." Mari said.

"Hm?"

"That move you just made…Did you deploy a self-acceleration spell in advance?"

Everyone looked at Tatsuya.

"That wasn't magic." He replied. "It was a bona fide physical technique."

"Flash Step, at least that's what I like to call it." Jonasan said.

Everyone looked at Jonasan as he disappeared.

"Over here guys!" Jonasan said from the other side of the room.

They turned to look and saw that Jonasan was leaned up against the wall on the opposite side of the room. He disappeared again and reappeared where he was initially.

"My brother practices ninjutsu." Miyuki said catching everyone's attention.

She lightly smiled. "He's undergoing training by Yakumo Kokonoe."

"That Kokonoe…?" Mari asked in shock.

"Who was your teacher?" Mayumi asked Jonasan.

"Kurisu can do that too by the way, and our teacher prefers her name not to be said." Jonasan replied.

"Her?" Miyuki thought.

"Tatsuya, then was the spell you used in that attack also ninjutsu?" Mayumi asked. "It only looked to me as if you'd released Psion waves…"

"That's correct. That was an Essential Singularity-type Spell, and all I did was generate Psion waves." Tatsuya said.

"Even so, that doesn't explain why Hanzo got knocked out."

"He was wasted." Tatsuya said.

"Wasted? On what, exactly?"

"Ah. You used one of the principles of magic." Jonasan said.

"Explain." Mari said.

"As magicians, we perceive Psions the same as we do visible light and sound waves. Thus, when a magician is exposed to unexpected Psions, he or she hallucinates that his or her body is being shaken. This causes the magician to experience something akin to a violent bout of seasickness." Jonasan said.

"Such a powerful surge as that…how on earth did you…?" Mayumi said looking at Tatsuya confused.

"Compound waves, right?" Suzune asked. "You created three consecutive Psion waves of varying oscillation frequencies, calibrated them so that all three would converge where Hattori was standing, then generated a powerful surge, like a triangular wave."

"Very impressive, Ms. Ichihara." Tatsuya said.

Suzune looked at her tablet which was displaying the information from the battle.

"Still, how were you able to pull that off in such a short time? With that kind of processing speed, I don't see how your technical scores could be so low."

As Tatsuya scrambled to come up with an answer, Azusa came up with one for him, unintentionally of course.

"Excuse me…" Azusa said while looking at Tatsuya's Silver Horn with a blush. "By any chance, Tatsuya, is your CAD a Silver Horn?"

"Silver Horn? As in Taurus Silver, the mysterious genius magic engineer?" Mayumi asked.

"Mysterious my ass, he's standing right in front of you." Kurisu thought.

"That's right!" Azusa said, she had a bubbly pink background behind her and a look of adoration on her face. "A specialist in Four Leaves Technology! The miraculous CAD engineer whose real name, appearance, and profile are all shrouded in mystery!"

As she was saying this, she was jumping around Tatsuya trying to reach his Silver Horn which he held high above his head.

While this was going on Mari turned to Jonasan.

"Speaking of, Jonasan, that sword you had yesterday, where did you get it?" Mari said.

"What, Nightmare? I have it here if you want to look at it." He said, drawing Nightmare.

Nightmare was a short sword. The blade itself was a midnight black with a blood red line through the center and had a dark blue handle. Jonasan handed Nightmare to Mari.

"Nightmare is a weaponized CAD of sorts. The blade is dull except for when Fortification magic or something like Sonic Blade is used on it, then it becomes deadly. I'm a beta tester for Shadow Technologies so I got to try it. It's a prototype, a close combat type CAD that the JSDF asked them for."

Tatsuya twitched as he continued to keep Azusa away from his Silver Horn and he sent a small glare at Jonasan. FLT and Shadow Technologies were close rivals when it came to CAD and Activation Sequence creation.

Mari returned Nightmare to him and he resheathed the sword.

"Why would they give a weaponized CAD to a civilian?" Mari asked.

"Testing for non-spell use. I'm under strict orders from Shadow Technologies not to use Fortification magic or Sonic Blade on it unless it's absolutely necessary.

Everyone's attention was drawn back to Azusa as she realized that Tatsuya had a second Silver Horn in the case.

"Taurus Silver was the programming genius who was the first to implement the Loop Cast System!" Azusa said, fawning over the Silver Horn. "'Silver Horn' is the name of the specialized CAD model fully customized by Taurus Silver himself, and it's optimized for Loop Casting!"

"But Rin, that still doesn't add up, does it?" Mayumi asked.

Suzune shook her head. "No, it doesn't add up. The purpose of a Loop Cast is to launch consecutive invocations of the exact same spell. It just isn't possible to use a Loop Cast to create multiple surges of varying oscillations."

"It is if you define the oscillations as variables." Kurisu said.

Suzune's eyes widened. "Don't tell me…that's exactly what you've pulled off here Tatsuya?"

Tatsuya just shrugged. "At this school, multivariable aren't subject to evaluation…not as processing speed, nor as calculation scale, nor as interference intensity."

Kurisu noticed that Hanzo was finally getting up.

"In the practical exam," Hanzo said causing everyone to look at him as they realized that he was finally awake. "magic skill scores are determined by Spell Invocation Speed, the scale of the Magic Sequence and Target Data Rewriting Strength."

Hanzo attempted to stand while still holding his head. "I see, so that's what happens when tests don't reflect your true abilities."

Mayumi walked over to him and leaned down in front of him. "Are you all right, Hanzo?"

Hanzo shot to his feet and put his hand to his tie, evidently the man did not want to be seen as weak in front of Mayumi.

"I'm fine!"

Hanzo then closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He then faced Miyuki.

"Ms. Shiba?"

Miyuki faced him. "Yes?"

Hanzo looked off to the right. "What I said before… about nepotism… that was rude of me." He then looked at her. "I was the one whose judgement was clouded. I hope you'll forgive me." He bowed to her.

Miyuki tilted her head slightly. "Actually, I'm the one who was out of line." She bowed to him. "Please forgive me."

The two then straightened up and Hanzo looked at Tatsuya. The two had a brief staring match before Hanzo turned and walked out the door.

"Even after getting his ass handed to him, he still won't shelve his pride." Kurisu said.

Mari sighed with a small smile and Mayumi had a small smile on her face as well. Azusa let out a sound of disappointment when Tatsuya closed the case that had the Silver Horn's in it.

Mari then turned and looked at Tatsuya and Jonasan. "All right, we did get waylaid unexpectedly, but why don't we get back on track and head to the Disciplinary Committee headquarters?"

"Hey bro, I'm going to head back to the house, you don't need me here." Kurisu said.

"Alright, say hello to mother for me." Jonasan replied, knowing good and well that Kurisu was going to call them and tell her about what happened today, he was under orders to contact her every time he nearly got out of hand.

"Will do."

…

As Jonasan and Tatsuya entered the Disciplinary Committee's headquarters, Jonasan twitched. The place was an absolute mess! There were boxes and scrolls everywhere, and the tables were littered with books and unused CADs.

"It's a little untidy, but hey, find yourself a seat somewhere." Mari said.

Tatsuya sighed. "Chairwoman, would you mind if I straightened this place up?"

"What?"

"As an aspiring magic engineer, I find this environment somewhat unbearable."

Jonasan gave a silent 'Thank you' to Tatsuya and he subtly nodded.

"Magic engineer? When you have such tremendous combat skills?" Mari asked.

"Tremendous combat skills aside, at his skill level, no offense Tatsuya," Jonasan said apologetically to Tatsuya who just shrugged in response. "he can't hope for anything more than a Level-C license. I could probably get a Level-A license if I tried but I have no interest in being in the military." Jonasan said.

"You wish to be a magic engineer as well?" Mari asked.

"Yup. While I understand the pride most feel at defending their country, I see no point in being treated as a weapon for warfare."

…

When Tatsuya, Jonasan and Mari had nearly gotten the room cleaned up, Tatsuya asked why Mari had chosen him to join the Disciplinary Committee.

"The reason I scouted you was… Come to think of it, I've pretty much already explained that to you." Mari said.

"And I remember, but if you ask me," Tatsuya said as he was sorting various CADs into different boxes. "dealing with Course 2 students is a measure that could backfire."

"Why do you think that?"

"The Course 2 upperclassmen won't take kindly to being policed all of a sudden by a younger student in the same boat."

"But I think your fellow first years will surely welcome you."

"I'm sure there'll be double the animosity from the Course 1 students." Tatsuya was now sorting the CADs onto a nearby shelf.

"Sure, there's bound to be some animosity. But right now, everyone's just started here. They shouldn't be all that poisoned by discriminatory impulses yet, right?"

"Who knows? Just yesterday, I got hit with the 'I'm never going to acknowledge you' treatment from someone."

"Are you talking about Morisaki?"

Tatsuya looked at her and Jonasan paused listening intently.

"You know him, then?"

"He was going to join this committee under a Faculty recommendation."

Tatsuya dropped the CAD he was stacking on the shelf in shock and Jonasan clenched the CAD he was holding so tight he was in danger of breaking it.

"So even you can get flustered, too, I see."

"Well of course I can."

"At any rate, I say was, because due to a couple incidents yesterday, the Faculty withdrew their recommendation of him and gave it to Jonasan instead."

"Good thing too, had I seen him have that attitude with another Course 2 student, Disciplinary Committee or not, I would have beat him half to death." Jonasan thought.

Then, two Course 1 students with the black and red armlet of the Disciplinary Committee walked into the room and bowed to Mari.

"Good evening!" one said.

"Good evening!" said the other.

"Hey, Big Sis! So, you're here, huh?" the first one said.

"Chairwoman, we've completed today's patrol mission. No arrests have been made." The other reported.

Mari grabbed a rolled-up piece of paper and walked over to the first student and slapped him with it.

"Guh!"

She then proceeded to continuously whack him on top of the head with it while he cowered in front of her.

"Don't call me Big Sis! How many times do I have to tell you? Is that head of yours just an empty ornament?"

"Please don't beat up on me like that!"

Jonasan chuckled at the scene. Mari scoffed and crossed her arms and the student stood up and rubbed his head. He then noticed Tatsuya and Jonasan.

"By the way, Chairwoman, are those new faces I see over there?"

"That's Tatsuya Shiba of Class 1-E. He'll be joining us under the recommendation of the student council." she said pointing at Tatsuya. "And that's Jonasan Cosmos of Class 1-A. He'll be joining us under the recommendation of the Faculty." She pointed at Jonasan.

"Eh?" The first student looked at Tatsuya then looked toward his shoulder. "Emblem-less, huh?"

"Tatsumi, your words may run afoul of the banned words regulations. In this case, the proper term would be Course 2 student." The second student said sending a look at Tatsuya.

"You guys, you're going to get the rug pulled out from under you if you hold such a simplistic outlook. Between you and me, Hattori just got himself royally tripped up a little while ago." Her eyes flickered toward Tatsuya.

The two gasped in shock and looked at Tatsuya again.

"You mean…that guy defeated Hattori, then?" Tatsumi said.

"That's right, in an official match, too."

"What the…?" the second student said. "Are you saying that Hattori, undefeated since he started here, got beaten by a new student?"

"I'm glad to have him on our side!" Tatsumi said.

"We've got ourselves a phenom. Right, Chairwoman?" the second student said.

"Who would've thought, right?" Mari and Tatsuya stared at each other for a moment. "This school, with its asinine 'Bloom'/'Weed' labeling, is teeming with people either wallowing in their sense of superiority or drowning in their sense of inferiority. To tell you the truth, I've been fed up with it all. Speaking for myself. Fortunately, both Mayumi and Jyumonji of the Extracurricular Activities Federation know what kind of personality I have. They've used their recommendation slots to pick people who are relatively immune to those kinds of sensibilities. Their feeling of superiority may not quite be at zero, but they're good guys who can evaluate others' skills fairly."

Mari leaned over and placed her hand on the table.

"I don't think this place will be all that uncomfortable for you."

Tatsuya simply looked at her. Tatsumi then walked over to Tatsuya and held out his hand.

"I'm Koutaro Tatsumi of Class 3-C. Nice to meet you, Shiba. Able guys like you are more than welcome here!"

"I'm Midori Sawaki of Class 2-D. Glad to have you on board, Shiba." The now identified Sawaki said.

Tatsuya looked at them for a moment before shaking Tasumi's hand.

"I'm first year student Tatsuya Shiba. Likewise…It's nice to meet you, too."

…

While Jonasan was in the Disciplinary Committee HQ, Kurisu had returned home. After dealing with the various affairs of running a criminal empire, Kurisu dealt with the other thing he had to do, call their parents. He picked up his private cellphone and dialed the only number in the address book.

"Hello?" a woman's voice said.

"Hello, my lady." Kurisu replied.

"Now Kurisu, I told you that Time or mother was fine. You don't need to be formal with me." Time chided.

"Very well, mother. I have an incident to report."

"Is it about Jonasan?"

"Yes."

"Hold on let me go get my sister and put you on speaker."

Indistinct shouting was heard on the other end of the phone, then the phone beeped.

"Hello dear." A second woman's voice said.

"Hello Lady Death."

"Kurisu." Death chided.

"Fine, fine, Death."

"That better. Now then, what's going on with my son? My sister tells me you have an incident to report." Death said.

"Yes, Death. Jonasan nearly got out of hand again today."

"Was it due to him?" Death asked sharply.

"Not entirely, although there may have been some influence from him. Most of it was anger at a student's remarks."

"I don't have dead bodies I have to deal with, do I?" Death asked.

"Fortunately, not. That being said, I witnessed something odd."

"Oh?" Time said.

"As you know, when someone other than myself tries to calm him down, it ends rather badly. In this case however, when a female student attempted to calm him down, he reacted similarly to when Death calms him down."

"Really now? Well perhaps we have another layer of security. Do you know the girl?" Death asked.

"Shiba Miyuki, Class 1-A same as ours."

"Shiba…" Kurisu could imagine the look on Death's face. "She's a Yotsuba isn't she?"

"Yes, she is. Her brother is the Mahesvara, he also attends the school."

"Interesting, for him to have such a reaction even though she is your enemy. I'll be dropping by tonight to check the seals. The last thing he needs is for that thing to escape." Death said.

The phone beeped as Time took it back off speaker phone.

"On to other matters, how is school going?" Time asked.

"Well enough, it's only been a few days so there's not much to report as of yet." Kurisu replied.

"Have you made any new friends?"

"A few, mostly the Course 2 students. Myself and Jonasan can't stand most of the Course 1 students as most of them are stuck up pricks."

Time sighed. "At least your trying. All right, keep us updated if anything happens."

"Very well."

"Goodbye Kurisu."

"Goodbye mother."

"Goodbye."

Kurisu set down the phone just as Jonasan walked in.

"So, how did it go?" Kurisu asked.

"Well enough, the HQ was a disaster though. Myself, Tatsuya and Ms. Watanabe cleaned up the room to where my OCD wasn't flipping out. We meet two other members who were surprised that Tatsuya beat Hanzo. Apparently Hanzo has never been beat before today."

"Interesting. Oh, by the way, Death is coming tonight."

Jonasan tilted his head. "Why is mother coming here?"

"To ensure that your seals haven't broken. Your anger today was partially influenced by him."

Jonasan paled a bit.

"Don't dwell on it, let's get the house ready for her arrival."

…

4-6-2095

First day of the new member invitational week

Tatsuya and Jonasan were in the Disciplinary Committee HQ with the rest of the members of the Disciplinary Committee. Several members expressed shock at the clean state of the HQ and thanked Jonasan and Tatsuya for their efforts. As soon as everyone was settled around the main table Mari began the meeting.

"Once again, this year, the week of unbridled shenanigans is upon us. As the snagging of talented club members is a crucial task that directly influences the power map of each club, it is unfortunately not uncommon for the ensuing mad scramble to degenerate into no-holds-barred fistfights or magic shootouts. Luckily, this year we were able to replace our departing graduates in time. Let me introduce them to you. Stand up you two."

Tatsuya and Jonasan, who were sitting across from each other, stood up.

"This is Cosmos Jonasan of 1-A, and Shiba Tatsuya of 1-E. They'll be joining the patrol detail right away."

"Are they gonna be of any use?" A member said pointing a thumb at Tatsuya.

"Don't worry, they're both competent." Mari said defending them. "I've already observed Shiba's skills in person, and Cosmos can wield a pretty mean device himself, if his scores are anything to go by."

Mutters spread about the room.

"Does anyone else have anything more to say?"

Silence reigned.

"Fine. Then let's send you on your way. Mobilize!"

The older members saluted her by putting a fist over their hearts. They then began to walk out of the room.

"Let's go."

"Where should we start?"

The room emptied until only Jonasan, Tatsuya and Mari remained. Mari then walked over to the two with the Disciplinary Committee armlet as well as a video recorder in hand.

"First off, let me give you these. Also, about the CADs. Disciplinary Committee officers are permitted to carry CADs on the school grounds."

Mari walked toward the door.

"There's no need to request anyone's permission to use them, but…"

She turned to face them and had a serious expression on her face.

"…If you are found to have used them inappropriately, not only will you be relieved of your post, but you'll also be penalized severely by the general student body. So, don't take this lightly. Jonasan?"

"Hm?"

"Do you have any other CADs besides Nightmare?" Mari asked.

"I do." He then pulled out a pitch-black CAD shaped like a Colt 1911. Phantom was written on the side in silver.

"This is Phantom. It's part of the Shadow series from Shadow Technologies." Jonasan said, Tatsuya twitched and shot Jonasan yet another a glare.

"Very well. I would prefer that you use that if you have to subdue someone than using Nightmare." Mari said.

"Yes, Chairwoman." He replied.

"I have a question." Tatsuya said.

"Go ahead." Mari replied.

"Are we allowed to use the committee's equipment as CADs?"

"He must not want to use Silver Horn so as to not have more Azusa's after him." Jonasan thought.

Mari blinked. "That's fine, but those are old-school, you know."

"True, they may be old-school, but they're also top-flight items calibrated for experts. Those devices…"

"If that's the case, then feel free to use them." Mari said. "They were just sitting there collecting dust, anyway."

Tatsuya walked over to a shelf.

"Then…I'll be borrowing these two."

"Two of them? You really are an interesting one, aren't you?"

Tatsuya didn't respond and simply attached the CADs to his arms.

Mari told the two of them that they needed to patrol together and sent them on their way.

As they walked out of the room, Jonasan had to ask,

"I can understand the merits of using top-flight CADs but why did you grab two of them?"

"Just in case." Was Tatsuya's response.

…

Tatsuya and Jonasan were walking down the main walkway that lead to the doors of the school where most of the clubs had set up shop. Tatsuya and Jonasan were keeping their eyes peeled for any incidents when Jonasan noticed a commotion ahead of them. He nudged Tatsuya.

"Isn't that your redheaded friend, Erika?"

Three different groups had circled the poor redhead and were attempting to get her to join their clubs.

"Uh, please let go of me now." Erika said.

"This girl is adorable!"

"Hey, want to join our club?"

"You'll definitely like our club better!"

"Enough already! Let go of her arm!"

Someone had grabbed the back of Erika's shirt and was tugging on it.

"Where do you think you're touching me? Stop it!" Erika said.

Tatsuya and Jonasan rushed forward. Tatsuya activated a spell which knocked the girls and guys away from Erika as the two ran to her. Tatsuya grabbed her wrist.

"Run." He said and the two took off as Jonasan covered their retreat.

…

The three ran behind a building before Tatsuya let go of Erika's hand. Jonasan leaned up against the wall and looked around the corner to make sure they weren't followed.

"I think we've run far enough away for you to feel safe." Tatsuya said.

"It looks like we weren't followed." Jonasan said as he walked to Tatsuya's side.

Erika was breathing hard while Jonasan and Tatsuya were barely breathing faster. Jonasan and Tatsuya looked back at Erika and their eyes widened. They could see her breasts. Erika's face turned beet red.

"Don't look!" Erika said.

Tatsuya quickly turned around again as Jonasan immediately shot his head up, so he was staring at the sky while he desperately tried to purge the image from his mind. While he had seen his fair share of naked women, they tended to throw themselves at himself and Kurisu given who they were, he didn't know them. It was quite a different matter to stare at a naked woman you don't know than to stare at a naked friend.

There was an awkward pause.

"Did you see?" Erika whispered.

Silence.

"Did you see?" she demanded, louder.

"I caught a glimpse. I'm sorry." Tatsuya said turning back to her.

"As did I. Please forgive me." Jonasan said hanging his head in shame.

Erika kicked both Jonasan and Tatsuya.

"Bakas!" she shouted.

Erika quickly fixed her uniform.

"If you're really sorry…then you both will keep me company after this, all right?" Erika said with a blush on her face.

…

*Whack!*

The trio had ended up in one of the gymnasiums watching a Keno exhibition match. Jonasan was watching the fight with mild interest, Erika with none at all, and Tatsuya, well it was hard to tell with him.

Tatsuya turned toward Erika.

"I take it you're not thrilled." Tatsuya said.

"Well, but it's so boring. Trying so hard to look good sparring, and then delivering a predetermined blow. This is no better than a staged sword fight!" Erika said.

"It's an exhibition match, so of course it's a staged sword fight. You can't show a true martial arts battle to the public because it's basically two people trying to kill each other." Jonasan said.

"I know but…"

"Guh!"

"Hm?" Tatsuya said.

Down on the match floor, it seems that another club had interrupted the Kendo club's exhibition.

"Trouble?" Tatsuya muttered.

The three made their way down to the floor where an argument was raging.

"There's still more than an hour before the Kenjutsu Club is up, Kirihara! Why can't you wait until then?" a girl with brown hair from the Kendo club said, she was the leader of the demonstration group apparently.

"Not what I expected, Mibu." The now identified Kirihara said. "Since you can't put your abilities on display sparring with such a newbie, I just thought a little collaboration was in order."

"You're the one who forced him to challenge you! Collaboration my foot!" Mibu said.

The trio pushed their way through the crowed until they got near the front.

"But it was the Kendo Club who struck first." Kirihara said.

"Because you provoked us, Kirihara!" Mibu said.

"This is starting to get juicy, huh?" Erika muttered to the two as Mibu and Kirihara kept arguing.

"Who are they?" Jonasan asked.

"Do you know these two?" Tatsuya asked.

"Not personally, but… the girl is Sayaka Mibu. The year before last, she was second place in the National Junior High Kendo Tournament for Girls. The guy is Takeaki Kirihara. The year before last, he won the Kanto Region Junior High Kenjutsu Tournament." Erika said.

Kirihara took his stick off his shoulder and pointed it at Mibu as she slowly drew hers.

"Whoops, looks like it's about to start!" Erika said.

"Don't you worry, Mibu. This is a kendo demonstration. I'll do you a favor and not use any magic."

Jonasan lightly snarled, his eyes gaining flecks of red. "Damn Course 1 stuck up prick." He muttered.

"You think you stand a chance against me with just sword skills?" Mibu said. "You, Kirihara, coming from the spell-depended Kenjutsu Club, a match for a member of the Kendo Club where we focus solely on honing sword skills?"

"Focus solely on honing sword skills? Right. You're full of bluster, Mibu."

Jonasan and Tatsuya activated their recorders, which were tucked into the upper uniform pocket.

"I'll be happy to show you, then. What it means to battle in a dimension beyond the limits of physical ability… The sword skills of Kenjutsu!" Kirihara said and the two raced toward each other, weapons held high.

*Whack!*

"A draw?" Erika asked.

"Not quite." Jonasan said.

Kirihara had struck Mibu in forearm while Mibu had struck Kirihara in the shoulder. Kirihara held a look of shock.

"If this was a real sword, you'd be fatally wounded." Mibu said as she knocked Kirihara's sword aside. "As for me, your strike stopped short of the bone. Accept your defeat like a good loser."

"If it was a real sword? You disappoint me." Kirihara said.

Jonasan got a bad feeling about this and prepared to rush in to intervene.

"Mibu, is that what you want? To fight with real swords? If that's the case, then I'll oblige you… I'll take you on with a real sword." Kirihara said as he tapped a few buttons on his blue forearm covering CAD. Kirihara's arm glowed orange and Jonasan and Tatsuya immediately read the activation sequence.

"Oscillation-type, Close Combat Spell. Sonic Blade. Threat." Jonasan thought.

A cylinder of orange surrounded Kirihara's stick and it began to glow orange as the cylinder disappeared. Before Tatsuya or Jonasan could do anything, Kirihara rushed forward and sliced at Mibu, cutting a line through her Keno uniform.

"Let's go." Jonasan said as he and Tatsuya rushed forward.

"How do you like that, Mibu? This is a real sword!" Kirihara said.

He prepared to swing at her again as Tatsuya ran in front of Mibu crossing his arms. Jonasan tackled Mibu out of the way, shielding her from hitting the ground. As Jonasan looked back, he saw that Tatsuya's two CADs were emitting some type of waves which caused Kirihara's Sonic Blade Spell to fail.

"Some type of Cast Jamming perhaps?" Jonasan thought. This would be an issue if it was used against the Black Dragons.

As Kirihara's Sonic Blade dissipated, Tatsuya grabbed Kirihara's arm and, in one fluid motion, grabbed the back of Kirihara's Kenjutsu uniform and forced him to the ground.

"Are you all right, Ms. Mibu?" Jonasan asked and Mibu nodded.

Jonasan then ran over to Tatsuya and helped restrain Kirihara.

"Who's that guy?"

"Hey, look! He's a Weed!"

"Are you serious? A Weed's on the Disciplinary Committee?"

The mutters continued as Tatsuya called HQ.

"Calling from Small Gymnasium No. 2. I have one student under arrest. He's wounded, so please send a stretcher."

"Wounded, yeah you could say that." Jonasan thought. He damn near broke Kirihara's arm. He was surprised Kirihara hadn't passed out from shock yet.

"Hey, what the hell's going on?" a Kenjutsu Club member asked.

Tatsuya ignored him and continued to talk to HQ. "I'll be taking Mr. Kirihara in for the improper use of magic."

"The hell you are, you stinking Weed!"

The Kenjutsu member attempted to grab Tatsuya but he used Flash Step to dodge out of the way.

"Why only Kirihara? Mibu of the Kendo Club is guilty of the same crime!"

"He did say, 'for the improper use of magic'." Jonasan said from his position next to Kirihara, who finally passed out.

"Don't give me that crap!"

A Kenjutsu member attempted to punch Jonasan. He quickly dodged and swept the member's feet out from under him, causing him to slam face first into the ground, taking him out of the fight. While he was doing that, Tatsuya was dealing with several other members by simply dodging them and causing them to be their own downfall. While Tatsuya was dealing with a particularly difficult student, Jonasan saw Mibu start to run to assist him before she was stopped by another man with glasses.

"Captain Tsukasa…" she said in shock before standing down.

Jonasan saw that two students were prepping two spells so Jonasan shut them down by sending a small ball of shadow at them, causing the activation sequences to be consumed and the spells to break. Looking back at Tatsuya over his glasses, Jonasan could see he was emitting a large amount of Psions. Captain Tsukasa adjusted his glasses as he looked at Jonasan and Tatsuya.

"How interesting…"
