It has been fourteen years since the incident and, to be honest, Tatsuya never thought about IT again. Now, the young Yotsuba was ready to enter high school. Finishing up with his uniform, Tatsuya gave himself a once over before being satisfied with his appearance and left his room, going downstairs to the kitchen, his overcoat and school bag laid on the sofa neatly. From the moment that he had told his mother and clan that he wanted to go to First High School with his cousin, the main family immediately went into motion to get everything ready for him. His aunt had contacted Miyuki, who had a house to herself and her guardian since she was going to the middle school, who was delighted to hear that her cousin was coming and immediately agreed to Tatsuya staying with her and her guardian.

Unlike the others of his clan, Tatsuya had no need for protection. Being the strongest magician of his generation in the Yotsuba clan, he was fully capable of defending himself. If anything, it was his enemies who needed to have a guardian. From the moment that he got home from the Ten Master Clans meeting fourteen years ago, he was pushed into training immediately, with each of his instructors claiming that "it was for his own protection against that red haired fiend". Till this day, he had no clue about just who this "fiend" was. With him, he carried his two special CADs, his model "Trident", the two finest works of art he had ever created.

He worried not for money, thanks to his mother's birthday gift to him: his own specialized department in FLT. Independent and funded personally from Maya herself, Tatsuya was given complete control and was rewarded with his department, the Silver Taurus department, being the most profitable and well know. Of course, this also meant that all that they made and earned would go straight to Maya first. Even then, the rest of the company's departments tried to gain access to the Silver Taurus department but ultimately failed when they met the wall that was the Yotsuba sisters. Miya assisted because she wanted to see what her nephew would accomplish given free reign, Maya because she wanted her son to work at his full potential. Of course, the sisters also did this because it frustrated Shiba Tatsurou and his mistress when they failed to get their hands on the Silver Taurus department.

Miya especially found pleasure in doing this, and informing them that the head of the department, Mr. Silver Taurus himself, was none other than her darling nephew, Maya's own son, Yotsuba Tatsuya himself. That caused Sayuri to try and convince the young heir to join her or even threaten him, both which failed when she realized that the son was just as formidable as his mother, if not more because unlike Maya, Tatsuya was apathetic most of the time. Of course, having Mikihito as the vice-department head made things easier. When Tatsuya didn't want to deal with the persistent woman, he often sent Mikihito who put a permanent stop to her efforts by giving her a glimpse of just what he was capable of doing for the sake of his friend.

Thanks to all this, Tatsuya had a steady income for both himself, his friend, and his clan, all the while keeping what he wanted and giving the subpar (according to Yotsuba standards) works to Miya. Because it was according to the clan's standards, the subpar works were commonly called extremely high grade and regarded to be the best. Hence, the Silver Taurus department, the ST department, earned their fame and reputation. Not only that, but it also became the one department that many wanted to enter thanks to the kind treatment and amazing leadership of both Tatsuya and Mikihito. Of course, seeing the genius mind of Mr. Silver Taurus himself and the sharp eye for details of Mikihito working together to make and improve an invention was also a plus. Thereafter, it was well known that all of the workers in the ST department loved their bosses and their work. They often got bonuses and compliments as well as help and that increased their willingness to work and their loyalty to their bosses. The department got so big that Maya had a whole new building made for them, away from the company, and made them their own company. So now, instead of Silver Taurus belonging to FLT, it was now it's own company under Maya herself, handing over FLT to Miya.

Maya saw Tatsuya staying with Miyuki and her guardian as only temporary, as she told her son. According to her, he only had to stay their until his new home was finished and fully refurbished. After that, she expected Tatsuya and Mikihito to move their and continue their work along with their studies. Seeing no problem with the offer and viewing each other platonically, both easily agreed.

Tatsuya shook his head internally and focused on his cooking. A few minutes later, he was placing down plates of omurice on the table just as Miyuki and her guardian, Sakurai Minami, entered the room. A minuscule smile on his face, Tatsuya greeted them.

"Ohayo, Miyuki, Minami-san." The gentle Yotsuba greeted. Unlike his mother and Miya, he was actually gifted and could actually cook without burning down the kitchen.

"Ohayō, nii-sama!" Chirped Miyuki in greeting to her cousin as she took her seat. At the age of fifteen herself, she had grown to be a beauty, much like Miya herself in appearance. The young girl cared greatly about her cousin, viewing him as both her idol and an older sibling she never had. In another universe, she would've fallen for him, but not this one for the only thing that he loved was his work. She was possessive of him, that she could admit that easily. But to be fair, she saw him as her older sibling, which had been that way for years. She often got into glaring matches with others of her age because of it. Like the others of the Yotsuba main house, she viewed none as worthy for her "older brother".

"Ohayōgozaimasu, Tatsuya-sama." Returned Minami formally as she bowed before taking her seat. Being a branch member of the Yotsuba clan, she was taught to always respect her higher-ups, especially the heir of the Maya-sama, her only son, Tatsuya. The thought of being related to the Yotsuba heir made her stutters. As a guardian, she strived to protect her lady, Shiba Miyuki. As a woman, she admired her lady. As a magician however, she admired Tatsuya-sama. At a young age, the male was already revolutionizing magic and becoming the strongest magician of his generation from the family. Becoming the Maya of his generation, he served as her and other's idol in the ways of magic.

"Hurry and eat now. We wouldn't want you to be late, now would we?" He said as he began eating. Taking the cue from him, both Miyuki and Minami also began to eat. The trio finished a few minutes later, placing their dirty dishes in the dishwasher and turning it on. Grabbing their stuff, the three left the house.

Closing the door and locking it, Tatsuya walked in front, a smile appearing on his face when he saw his oldest best friend waiting for him outside of the gate.

"Ohayō, Tat-chan." Greeted the Yoshida. Fourteen years had indeed changed the onmyouji. Gone were his babyish features. In their place were soft, slightly feminine features, elegant and symmetric. Golden eyes still held their gentle gaze. Shooting up in height, the Yoshida was only a few inches shorter than Tatsuya himself. He was as slim and pale as ever.

"Ohayō, Miki." The Yatsuba responded as he opened the gate and stepped out. Turning to Miyuki, he told her that he'd see her later before turning around and leaving, ignoring her pout.

"Nee, Tat-chan, Leo said to meet him up at the main gate." Miki relayed their other best friend's message, with Tatsuya nodding. Both of them had met the other boy when they were off discovering the forest on one of their vacations together. Finding Saijou Leohart was not a part of their plans but that was fine since he quickly integrated into their group easily. From then on, where one was, the other two were near. Both Miki and Leon knew that Tatsuya was destined for great things, so both swore their loyalty to him. Under the Yotsuba clan, both grew jumps and leaps. Unlike his other two friends, Leonhart wasn't mentally gifted, but he was physically gifted. With Tatsuya as the main brain, both acted as his arms and legs, working in perfect synchro, to the point that it amazed all of their families. Maya was especially delighted and spent the next few minutes hugging and praising her son, not that Mikihiko and Leonhart were any better with their own parents.

Eventually, the pair arrived at the the school. Immediately, they found their friend. After all, who could ignore their friend who was waving and calling their names? Both smiled at each other in exasperation before they headed to their friend.

"Ohayō, Leon." Mikihiko greeted the boisterous male, Tatsuya nodding in greeting.

"Ohayō, Tatsu, Miki!" The Saijou greeted as he grinned widely. They all shared a laugh, or in Tatsuya's case, a smile, before going to the auditorium. On their way, all three ignored the whispers of the students around them.

"Look, it's them."

"It's the Impenetrable Trio."

"I heard that all of them are prodigies in some way, shape, or form."

"Look, it's the Yoshida heir who's bringing back the old magics and making them on pair with modern magic, "the Shadow" Yoshida Mikihiko. I heard that he's a the silent ace."

"It's the "White Knight" Saijou Leonhart. I heard that he excels in physical combat and has never been defeated in it."

"Hey, it's THE Yotsuba heir himself. I heard that he's a genius."

"I heard that he makes his own CADs."

All these rumors made the trio amused, especially the ones who were gossiping about Tatsuya himself.

"Looks like this year's students are brave. To think that they're gossiping about Tat-chan…They must be bored of living." Mikihiko laughed softly, a hint of his venomous side in the undertone of his words.

"Ignore it, Miki. Sheep will always be sheep." Leonhart scoffed, eyeing the students distastefully. Ever since he became friends with Tatsuya and Mikihiko, he learned to filter out the rumors. They served no purpose to him or his friends any purpose, other than migraines. Entering the auditorium, the group found a set of three chairs in the middle section. With Tatsuya in the middle seat, and Leon and Miki on either side, each regal and imposing, they made a huge impression on the school. That was the moment that they became one of the most imposing groups in the whole academy.
