Irregular at Magic High School: The Black Dragons
Chapter 4: Enrollment Part IV
Jonasan and Tatsuya were in the First High School Extracurricular Activities Federation room. Mayumi, as well as Mari and Juumonji, were in attendance. They were asking the two about the incident that happened earlier that day.
"So, you didn't see how it started, then?" Mayumi asked.
"Right. All we saw was… Ms. Mibu of the kendo team and Mr. Kirihara of the Kenjutsu team arguing." Tatsuya said.
"Is that why you two didn't raise a hand at first?"
"Right. We thought that, if they were only going to end up with bruises, then they should settle the score amongst themselves." Jonasan said.
"After subduing Kirihara, what did you do with him?" Mari asked.
"Since he was injured and had already gone into shock, we handed him over to the Health Committee."
"And since he acknowledged his own wrongdoing, we made the call that no further measures were needed." Tatsuya said.
Mari sighed. "I guess that's fine. The Disciplinary Committee has no intention of sending this matter to the Correctional Committee. What do you say, Juumonji?"
"Juumonji is the chairman of the Extracurricular Activities Federation and an old childhood friend. When he was younger, he was a stickler for rules but Kurisu and I managed to get him to bend some every now and then. He is the next heir to the Juumonjis, the 10th Master Clan. He has grown to be rather imposing over the years and emits a rather dominating aura. With an ability like Phalanx though, it not surprising he has gotten as muscular has he has, every ounce of that strength can be used to stop incoming objects using Phalanx." Jonasan thought.
"I appreciate your lenient ruling." Juumonji said. "He used a highly lethal spell. Normally, there would be no escaping suspension. I'm sure he's aware of that himself. I'll council him to learn from this mistake of his."
"I'm counting on you." Mari said.
"But what about the kendo team?" Mayumi asked.
"The moment she took up the gauntlet, she was equally to blame. Let me confirm this one more time." Mari said, looking at Jonasan and Tatsuya. "Was Kirihara the only one who used magic?"
Both Jonasan and Tatsuya had a flashback to the two students who attempted to use magic before Jonasan broke their spells.
"That's correct." They both said at the same time.
"I see. Thank you for your hard work. Dismissed." Mari said.
"Excuse me." Both Jonasan and Tatsuya said.
"Wait a moment, Jonasan." Jyumonji said.
Jonasan remained standing at attention as Tatsuya left the room.
"Your face is familiar to me, but I cannot place where. Does he not look familiar Mayumi?" Jyumonji asked.
Mayumi tilted her head as she looked at him. "Very faintly. Have we met before?"
"I haven't met you before the first day of class Mayumi. Jyumonji, I've met you before, after the practical exam you and I exited the room at the same time, if you can call that meeting." Jonasan lied.
Jyumonji stared intently at him for a moment. "Very well, you may go."
Jonasan bowed and walked out.
…
Jonasan joined Tatsuya as they entered a café that their friends were in.
"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long." Tatsuya said as the two sat down at the table.
Seated at the table were Leo, Erika, Miyuki, Mizuki, and Kurisu. A waiter placed a strawberry shake in front of Erika.
"Don't be shy – eat as much as you want." Tatsuya said, evidently, he was paying for the meal.
"All right, I won't be shy!" Leo said.
"Thank you for the meal!" Everyone said.
"So anyway, that second year named Kirihara used a Rank B Lethal Spell, right? You're lucky you two didn't get hurt." Leo said.
"That spell has a restricted effective range. It's no different than dealing with the sharp blade of a sword." Tatsuya said.
"But you're saying that it's easy to deal with a real sword…" Mizuki said.
"It's easy to deal with a real sword. We've dealt with them several times, usually they were trying to kill us." Kurisu thought.
"It's alright, Mizuki. There's nothing to worry about when it comes to my brother." Miyuki said.
"You sound really comfortable with it, Miyuki." Erika said.
"Yes. After all, there's no one who can possibly defeat my brother." Miyuki said.
"No hesitation at all there, I see!" Erika said.
Jonasan smiled. "Even the Black Dragons?"
Miyuki hid behind Tatsuya's arm and Tatsuya glared at him.
"Never mention that name again."
"Ok, ok." Jonasan said holding up his hands, evidently Miyuki was afraid of them, although she had the Mahesvara at her side.
"Anyway, the Sonic Blade Releases high-frequency waves, right?" Mizuki asked.
"They say you can get sick as a dog unless you're wearing earplugs." Leo said.
By this point Miyuki had recovered. "Well, doesn't that just mean that Brother's taijutsu skills are superlative? Nullifying magic sequences is Brother's specialty. Brother, you used Cast Jamming, didn't you?" Miyuki said with a smile.
Tatsuya looked at her before sighing. "I'm no match for you, am I Miyuki?"
"Of course not. I can see through anything you do, Brother." Miyuki said.
The two had a starry pink background around them.
"You know, that's not sibling banter." Leo said.
"You don't think so?" They both said at the same time.
Leo face vaulted into the table.
"Don't even think about calling out this lovey-dovey brother and sister." Erika said.
"Right, my mistake." Leo said raising his head from the table.
"I take exception to that insinuation!" Tatsuya said.
Looking back at the two, Miyuki was leaned up against Tatsuya and the pink background seemed to have spread.
"Oh, where's the harm? It's a fact that you and I are bound by intense sibling love." Both Erika and Leo face vaulted into the table while Mizuki had a massive blush on her face. Kurisu just looked at the pair with raised eyebrows while Jonasan was subtly twitching.
"Jealous much?" Kurisu muttered to Jonasan.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Jonasan ground out.
"Miyuki, don't get too carried away, all right?" Tatsuya said with a wink. "There's at least one person here who doesn't realize we're joking."
"Joking?" Mizuki said looking at Erika and Leo who still had their faces planted onto the table.
Jonasan slowly calmed down and then felt a little confused. Why did he react like that? Mother had ensured that the seals were firm just the day before so why did he feel so angry when he saw Miyuki acting like that?
"Well, that's our Mizuki for you!" Erika said, lifting her head from the table.
As Leo lifted his head from the table, Jonasan asked a question.
"If that was Cast Jamming, how did you do it? It's not possible for you to have antinite in your possession."
Antinite is a special mineral that is capable of emitting Psion noise, it is only found at high altitudes in ancient civilizations and it can only be found in small quantities, at least that's what the various world governments think. Kurisu and Jonasan knew better though.
"That's that rock that can block spells, right?" Leo said.
"If I remember correctly, it's extremely expensive." Mizuki said.
"And very rare." Kurisu said.
"No, I do not have any." Tatsuya said. "In the first place, antinite is a military resource. It's not a matter of price; it's not something that a civilian can get his hands on."
"That's what you think." Jonasan and Kurisu thought at the same time, recalling the stash they kept at their HQ as well as the multiple large nodes they had found in Japan alone.
"But…" Mizuki said.
Tatsuya leaned back for a moment before leaning forward. "I'd like to keep this conversation off-the-record…"
Everyone, aside from Miyuki leaned in close.
"To be precise, what I used was something that applied the theories of Cast Jamming… 'Specific Magic Jamming'."
Jonasan tilted his head and Miyuki giggled at his expression although Jonasan was not confused. He had sensed someone attempting to listen in on their conversation, and judging by the look on Kurisu's face, he did too. Kurisu subtly tapped on his pocket, where he had a communicator hidden at, twice. This alerted the operatives that were around the building that there was an intruder nearby. After a few moments Jonasan and Kurisu felt two of their operatives capture the intruder and haul him away.
"Does such a type of magic exist?" Mizuki asked.
"Probably not, but…" Erika said.
"The theory is there but no one has been willing to follow it. Logic tells us that if a general Cast Jamming is possible then it should also be possible to jam specific spells as well, but that has some dangerous ramifications." Jonasan said.
"Doesn't that mean that you've come up with a new type of magic, in theory?" Erika asked.
"I think that 'stumbled upon it by accident' is a more apt term. When you try to use two CADs at once, the Psion waves interfere, and in most cases, the magic doesn't activate. You all know that, right?" Tatsuya asked.
"Right." Kurisu said.
"So, you launch a magic sequence that causes one CAD to jam the other, and with the other CAD you launch an activation sequence that has the opposite effect. The activation sequence is reproduced and amplified, and the Psion signals are released as Non-systematic Magic. By doing so, you can, up to a point, block an activation sequence of the same type. "
"Are you serious?" Leo said.
Everyone leaned back in their seats and digested the information that they had been given. Jonasan was already thinking of ways that it could be put to use for them.
"I understand the theory behind it, more or less. But hey, why does it have to be off-the-record?" Leo asked. "If you patented it, I bet you'd rake in the profits!"
"For one thing, this technique still hasn't been perfected. And like Jonasan said, this technique could have some dangerous ramifications. The issue is that magic can be blocked without antinite."
"Where's the problem with that?"
"Baka! Of course, it's a huge problem!" Erika said. "If an easily-acquired technique to nullify magic spells were to spread, and a group, say, sorry Tatsuya, The Black Dragons got a hold of it, our society would be shaken to its foundations."
Tatsuya sighed when she mentioned The Black Dragons but let it go because it was a valid point. If their members got wind of that technique, they would become nearly unstoppable.
"Antinite isn't yet a realistic threat because its output is so low. Until a method to counter it is discovered, I can't go public with this." Tatsuya said.
"That's amazing… to think that you've thought it through this far." Mizuki said.
"I think you're over-analyzing a bit, Brother. After all, reading your opponent's activation sequence during launch isn't something that just anybody can do. But is that what make you who you are, Brother?" Miyuki asked.
"She does have a valid point, Tatsuya." Kurisu said. "Very few people can read an activation sequence before its launched. For most, they would have to wait until the spell is launched at them and by then, it's too late to do anything."
"Are you two implying that I'm an indecisive wimp?" Tatsuya said.
"I don't know." Miyuki said. "What do you think, Erika?"
"Who knows? As for me, I might want to ask Mizuki's opinion!" Erika said.
"Huh!" Mizuki said getting embarrassed. "I think…uh…Let's see…"
…
Later at The Black Dragons HQ
"James, what did our eavesdropper say?" Death asked as he and Time walked into the Black Dragon HQ.
"Nothing much, sir. He was just a hired thug, didn't know who his employer was." James said.
"Did he hear anything?" Time asked sharply.
"No sir. We managed to subdue him in time."
Jonasan and Kurisu looked at each other before nodding.
"Dispose of him. He is of no use to us." Death said.
"Very well sir. Oh, Kensaku has returned, he is waiting in your office."
"Thank you, James."
Death and Time walked to their office and saw that there was a man waiting for them, Ito Kensaku.
"Report Kensaku." Time said.
"Yes, sir. As reported earlier, there were some rumblings of Blanche making a move. I'm here to report that those rumors are true. Blanche intends to use the Course 2 students to cause a ruckus by demanding that the school equalize the treatment of the students within your school. While they are doing that, they plan on attacking the school, although the motive is still unknown."
"Thank you, Kensaku. Dismissed." Death said and Kensaku bowed to them and walked out.
Jonasan and Kurisu looked at each other. "Should we post operatives around the school?" Jonasan asked.
"No. That would draw attention to us and when the attack occurs, they would think we were behind the attack as well. No, we will deal with this ourselves." Kurisu said as he grinned maliciously. "It's been a while since we've seen some action."
Jonasan grinned as well. "Yes, yes it has."
…
4-9-2095
Fourth day of the new member invitation week
Jonasan and Kurisu were patrolling campus again when their communicators from the Disciplinary Committee HQ rang. They answered the phone.
"This is the student council. A brawl has broken out in Gymnasium No. 1. All available Disciplinary Committee officers are asked to head to the scene."
"This is Shiba, first year. Understood." Tatsuya said.
"This is Cosmos, first year. Understood." Jonasan said.
The two took off toward the gymnasium. As they were cutting through a small forest, Tatsuya noticed that someone was preparing a spell to launch at them.
"Jonasan." Tatsuya warned.
"I see it." Jonasan replied.
Tatsuya slid to a stop just before the spell while Jonasan front flipped over the patch of ground the spell was on and landed in a crouch. Jonasan was lightly growling and Tatsuya could see red in his blue eyes. Tatsuya used Specific Cast Jamming to prevent the spell from launching which caused the attacker to get knocked back a bit.
Their assailant immediately turned tail and ran Jonasan and Tatsuya ran after him. The two could see a red, white, and blue arm band on the assailant's wrist.
"Blanche." Jonasan mentally growled.
Their attacker then activated a movement enhancing spell and zoomed away. Jonasan could catch up with him but he would have to use Wraith to do so and that would give him away, so he was forced to watch as their attacker escaped.
…
"Hey Jonasan, you got another committee meeting today?" Kurisu asked.
"Of course. I'm glad recruitment week is finally over; I finally get a day off." Jonasan replied.
"You've garnered yourself quite a reputation, Jonasan." A voice said from behind him.
"Hm? Oh, hello Honoka, Shizuku. What kind of reputation? Good or Bad?"
"Several of the students are shocked that you assisted a Course 2 student in suppressing all those Course 1 club members. Several are also amazed that you did so without using magic." Shizuku said.
"So, a mixed reputation then. Meh, I can live with that. Hey Miyuki."
"Hm?" she replied.
"Since I will be headed that way, do you want me to walk you to your brother's classroom?"
Several of the girls in the room let out barely concealed squeals of joy.
"If it's not too much of a burden." She replied with a light blush.
"Not at all. I'll see you when I get home Kurisu."
"Yup." Kurisu said as he walked out the door.
"Whenever you're ready, Miyuki." Jonasan said and the pair got up and walked out.
…
The pair walked the halls silently. As they approached Tatsuya's classroom, Jonasan suddenly saw an image of him for a moment as rage flooded his mind. Jonasan grunted in pain and rubbed his temples.
"Are you alright, Jonasan?" Miyuki asked, concerned.
"I'm fine. Just a headache." He replied.
"Let me help." She said.
Miyuki coated her fingers in ice and touched his temples. The ice caused him to growl and retreat deeper into his mind. Jonasan felt the rage subside.
"Better?" Miyuki asked.
"Yes. Thank you."
The two then arrived outside of Tatsuya's classroom and Miyuki peeked inside the room causing the class to begin muttering. Tatsuya stood from his seat and strode to the door. He saw that Jonasan was with Miyuki and nodded to him.
"I believe that my work here is done. I'll see you tomorrow in class Miyuki and I will see you at the meeting later Tatsuya." Jonasan said.
He bowed to the two of them and walked away.
…
Jonasan and Kurisu were sitting in the Café that was on campus doing their course work. Jonasan was drinking a Mocha while Kurisu was drinking coffee. Jonasan decided not to tell Kurisu about the incident with him earlier but did inform him about the attacker.
"Blanche is getting restless. I have no doubt they will make a move soon." Jonasan concluded.
"That asshole better hope I never figure out who he is, because if I do, I'm going to beat the ever-loving shit out of him for attacking you." Kurisu said.
"It was a Course 2 student that assaulted us. No doubt they have started recruiting people."
"Should we worry about Tatsuya?"
"No, he's not a threat. I wouldn't be surprised if he was just as wary of them as we are. Think of his connections."
"True, true." Kurisu paused for a moment. "Ooh, hello." Kurisu was looking at something off to the right.
"Hm?"
Looking to the right, Jonasan saw that a little ways from them, Tatsuya was taking a seat with Ms. Mibu.
"This ought to be interesting. Let's listen." Kurisu said, and the two pretended to do their work while listening to their conversation.
"Uh, once again, thank you very much for what you did last week." Mibu said, there weren't many people in the cafe, so her voice carried enough for the two brothers to hear.
"I was just doing my job. It was Jonasan who actually saved you." Tatsuya said.
"Modest as ever, all I did was tackle her out of harm's way." Jonasan muttered.
Mibu just shook her head. "It only got resolved peacefully because you defused the brawl without injuring anyone, Shiba. Although I did hurt Kirihara… But Kirihara and I crossed swords fully prepared to sustain injury, after all."
She paused.
"And yet, there are a lot of people who want to make a big deal out of such a trivial matter. Jonasan being one of the few, rare exceptions."
"Thanks, I think?" Jonasan muttered.
"Disciplinary Committee officers… so they can score points for themselves." Mibu said.
Kurisu suddenly glared at him.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, don't look at me like that, it doesn't work that way." Jonasan said quickly.
"Well, I'm a member of that committee myself, so…" Tatsuya said.
"S-Sorry! I didn't mean it that way, I swear!" Mibu said, panicking slightly. "Sure, I can't stand those people, but…" She seemed to realize what she just said. "Wait…"
Tatsuya didn't react, and it seemed to confuse Mibu.
"Hey, Shiba, are you a bully?" Mibu asked.
Silence.
Tatsuya took a sip of his drink.
"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Tatsuya asked.
"I'll be blunt. Shiba, will you join the Kendo team?" Mibu responded.
"I appreciate the offer, but I decline."
"Would you mind telling me your reason?"
"Actually, I'd like to hear the reason you're recruiting me."
Mibu sighed. "At Magic High School, magic grades are given precedence overall. But don't you think it's wrong to be defined in all respects by just magic?"
"Please go on." Tatsuya said.
"Tatsuya, you better not be buying into this or I will cut you down where you sit." Kurisu muttered.
"Course 2 students can't receive practical skills training. But being discriminated against in class is something we have to live with. Because that's only a matter of us lacking talent. I can't stomach the thought of my sword being held in contempt just because I'm not good at magic. Being ignored is unbearable. I won't let them deny all I have to offer just on the basis of magic!"
"Ms. Mibu?" Tatsuya asked, concerned.
"Ah! That's why we, the non-magic-oriented clubs, have decided to unite. Sometime this year, we're going to form an organization separate from the Extracurricular Activities Federation and present our argument to the school. That we're not all about magic. Toward that end, we'd like your cooperation, Shiba."
"This smells like Blanche's doing. You better not say yes, Tatsuya" Jonasan muttered.
"I see…" Tatsuya said.
"Are you mocking me?" Mibu asked.
"That wasn't my intention at all. My own misunderstanding just gave me a chuckle, that's all. I thought that you were just a beautiful kendo girl, so you can see I have no eye."
Mibu's reaction to Tatsuya's praise was priceless. Jonasan and Kurisu were struggling to contain their laughter.
"Beautiful girl…"
"Ms. Mibu…" Tatsuya said.
"Wh-What is it?" Mibu said with a massive blush on her face, she was fidgeting in her seat.
"You're going to present your argument to the school. What are you going to do after that?"
"Huh?"
She didn't have an answer to that one and Tatsuya gave her time to figure it out and left the Café. Mibu left shortly afterward.
"Well then, I believe that Blanche is preparing to make their move. Shall we make some preparations of our own?" Jonasan said.
"Yes, let's." Kurisu replied.
…
The next day, the student council as well as the Cosmos brothers and Tatsuya were eating lunch in the Student Council Room. This had become a regular thing over the past week. At first the Cosmos brothers didn't go, but Mayumi pestered them enough about it that they finally agreed to start going.
"Tatsuya?" Mari asked. "Is it true that you verbally abused the second year, Mibu, in the café yesterday?"
Tatsuya looked shocked for a moment before sighing. "Since you are a refined young lady yourself, I don't think you should be batting around vulgar phrases like 'verbal abuse'." Tatsuya said.
Mari laughed. "Thanks! You're the only one who treats me like a refined young lady, Tatsuya."
Mayumi looked a bit jealous.
"Is that right?" Tatsuya said. "Not treating his own girlfriend as a lady… apparently, your boyfriend isn't much of a gentleman."
Mari stood up, red in the face. "That's not true! Shu is…" she defended before realizing that Tatsuya was not reacting to her. "Why aren't you saying anything?"
"Should I make some kind of comment?"
The Cosmos were trying to cover their laughter and failing miserably while Mayumi slapped her hand over her mouth and turned her head away to cover her giggles.
Mari huffed and sat back down. "So, is it true that you verbally abused Mibu of the kendo team?"
Tatsuya sighed. "That's not the least bit true."
Mayumi had recovered and faced forward again.
"Is that so? I have witnesses who observed Mibu blushing red and looking embarrassed." Mari said.
Miyuki's hair floated up and ice began to spread freezing everyone's lunches and drinks. Miyuki was pissed.
"Brother? What in the world were you doing?" Miyuki asked in a low voice.
"Magic?" Azusa asked.
"You have quite the Interference Power, Miyuki. Although, may I suggest you calm down before you turn the table into a popsicle." Jonasan said.
Mayumi was poking at her frozen food while Mari was looking at her frozen drink.
Miyuki's eyes opened in shock and she put a hand to her mouth. The ice slowly faded.
"Forgive me…" She said.
Tatsuya looked at her for a moment then looked at Jonasan who tilted his head at him. Tatsuya then faced Mari.
"About Ms. Mibu… It seems that the Disciplinary Committee's activities have earned the students' animosity."
"What do you mean?" Mari asked.
"Actually…" Tatsuya then went on to explain what happened in the café.
During this, Miyuki went off to prepare everyone some tea.
"Trying to score points, huh? Mibu's mistaken about that. The Disciplinary Committee is just an honorary post and isn't subject to evaluation." Mari said.
"But it's also a fact that the Disciplinary Committee wields considerable power within the school. Some will see you as misusing your authority." Mayumi said.
"Thank you, Miyuki." Jonasan said and Miyuki gave him a smile, Kurisu nodded his thanks to her and she nodded back.
Tatsuya watched the interaction without comment before turning back to the matter at hand.
"Well, but there is someone who's been manipulating that impression…" Mayumi said.
Tatsuya immediately stood. "Do you know that person's identity?"
"Huh? No, no, it's just a rumor."
"If we knew who it was, we'd have stopped him already." Mari said.
"I don't mean that. I'm talking about the people behind whoever's doing the manipulation."
"Brother?" Miyuki said taking her seat.
"For example…The anti-magic international political organization, Blanche…"
Mayumi and Mari looked shocked. Jonasan growled and Kurisu clenched his hands in anger.
"What?" Mari said.
"How do you know that name?" Mayumi asked. "That's classified information…"
"Even we've heard about them." Kurisu said. "It is impossible to keep a lid on all sources of rumors. And given their recent activity, it's not hard to know about them."
"On the contrary," Tatsuya said. "I think such matters should be fully disclosed to the public. The government has been ineffectual in its handling of this matter."
"I agree… Despite the fact that there's an organization hostile to magic, they cover it up and refuse to confront them head-on." Mayumi said.
"That can't be helped, considering your position, Chairwoman." Tatsuya said.
"Huh?"
"This is a national institution, and the country is doing all the restricting and hiding."
"Is that your way of consoling me?" Mayumi said with a light blush.
Jonasan tilted his head.
"B-But Chairwoman, it was Shiba who drove you to the brink." Azusa said.
"To drive someone to the brink and then follow through on your own, you're quite the brilliant gigolo (playboy)." Mari said. "And it looks like you've got Mayumi tied around your finger!"
Mayumi became embarrassed. "M-Mari! Don't say things like that!"
Ice spread across the table again. Miyuki looked about ready to kill someone.
"Gigolo…A brilliant one…"
"Hey, calm down, Miyuki, they're just joking." Tatsuya said.
"I got this." Jonasan said and he placed a hand on Miyuki's shoulder and she immediately calmed down.
"So, Tatsuya. How are you planning to deal with Mibu?" Mari asked.
"I'm the one who's waiting for her answer, so I'll decide after hearing it." Tatsuya said.
"I see. I'm counting on you."
"Fine, but at this point, I have no clue what it is I should be counted on for."
"Whatever you can manage… that will be fine."
Tatsuya put his hand on Miyuki's head and began to rub it. She gained a blush as well as a happy smile.
"Note to self: try petting Miyuki next time she is angry, see what happens." Jonasan thought.
"You either have high hopes for me, or none at all… That's quite ambiguous." Tatsuya said.
Miyuki was looking at Tatsuya now, his hand was still on her head.
"I'll do whatever I can manage.
…
That evening, Mibu was out in one of the pavilions in the courtyard talking to the captain of the Kendo team.
"Just because I'm a Course 2 student, I don't want people to reject even my non-magical aspects. I… I don't want even my sword to be…" Mibu said.
"Mibu, that sentiment is shared by every other Course 2 student." He walked next to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "We need his power, no matter what. We will deal with Cosmos another time."
…
The moment the Cosmos got home they immediately went to the living room.
"Cabinet open: Blanche." Jonasan said.
Every single file they had on Blanche opened on the multiple screens they had in the living room.
"These guys have been a thorn in our side for years, now they want to assault our school?" Kurisu said as the two began to pour over the files.
"Grassroots movement my ass, they are terrorists and they know it. Suicide bombings, car bombs, attempted assassination of key political figures… yeah that sounds like a grassroots movement, alright." Jonasan said.
"The red, white, and blue wrist bands are from Egalite, their subordinate organization. The damn fools don't know who they're messing with."
"Their slogan of 'Eradication of Social Discrimination by Magic' will no doubt attract the disenchanted students of Course 2. So, we are looking at a small army of students against us, plus their own operatives."
"Alright, now we just need to determine who is funding them. And what their goals are."
"STARS is out because they are too far away, it's got to be someone local."
"That pro breakaway group perhaps?"
"Them or the Great Asian alliance. Although if it's the Great Asian Alliance then we know their goal, make this country into a nation where magic has died out so that we are easier to invade. Remember Okinawa?"
"How could I not? We were too young and inexperienced to do anything then. Now, now we have the strength and skill to stop something like that from happening again."
"Are our, ah, preparations, complete?"
"Yes, everything is set and ready to go."
"Alright, now we wait. It won't take them long to make a move."
"And then we crush them for daring to attack us. Because, after all…"
"The Black Dragons show no mercy." They both said, outside Draco roared.
