So, it's not really a fight after all.

Anyway, enjoy.

"Why are you keep bothering us?"

"Bothering you? Don't get too arrogant! I'm here to protect Shiba-san from the likes of you!"

"Miyuki this, Miyuki that…" Miyuki theeze nuts. Added Dio on his mind. "Who are you to Miyuki? She wants to go home with her brother, who the fuck are you to object?"

"Kuh! Weed should just shut up!"

This had been going on for ten minutes. Morisaki could be seen arguing with Erika, Mizuki, and Leo but well, mostly just Erika. When they were about to go home, a certain boy appeared and stop them saying, "Miyuki should go home with us." That sentence immediately changed Dio's opinion of Morisaki from lost hero to fucking delusional. What made Dio even more confused was the fact that Miyuki said or did nothing. She just stood with her brother on the sidelines. "What…?" Was Dio reaction in these past ten minutes.

"Weed? Do you think you're any better than us? We entered the same school. What give you the right to insult us?" Everyone were surprised by Mizuki shout. Mizuki also got angry. She shouted that one with her whole lungs. Even the shy Mizuki could get angry some times.

Dio observed them from far.

"Why we are any better than you…?" Morisaki gritted his teeth. For some reason, he looked really triggered. His body shivered in agitation. Slowly, his right hand crawled to his inner jacket. Dio knew what would happen next even without Almighty. I rather not get involved, but I don't want anyone to get hurt.

So, he acted.

"I will show you—"

"Shun, I think that is enough…"

"Wha…?"

The boy suddenly appeared in front of Shun, twisting his right hand, making his pistol-shaped CAD fell to the ground. He looked so shocked and confused. Not just him, everyone there were as shocked as him. How in the world Dio Rosen moved that fast. They couldn't even detect the activation of magic.

"You don't want to cross that line." Dio said seriously. His eyes looked sharply into Morisaki's soul. "What you're about to do is a crime. Are you sure it's worth it to satisfy your jealousy?" He whispered.

"…"

Morisaki Shun was speechless. He was unable to say anything. He didn't know what to say. Shun wanted to deny strongly that he was not jealous of Tatsuya and his friends, but he couldn't because that was the truth. He wanted to impress Miyuki, the most beautiful and talented girl in the school. That was it, but his brother just had to ruin his chances.

"What is going on here?!"

Two beautiful girls came from the school building. One of them raised her left hand while her right hand was ready to activate her magic. The other one stood beside her and spoke again.

"Using lethal magic without permission is a criminal act punishable by the law. Can anyone tell me what is going on here?"

"No magic was used in this place." Said Dio calmly.

"You are…?"

"My name is Dio Rosen from class one A. I just transferred today from Germany."

"I see, so you are… never mind that. Can you explain what happened here, Dio-kun?"

"From my perspective we had a heated debate about magic. Probably that's why people heard the shouting and screaming. Some people are just stubborn."

Dio explained as a spectator.

"Then, why is there a CAD on the floor?" Asked the short haired girl.

"He dropped it."

"That's it…?"

"Well, you could ask him."

"Morisaki-kun, was it? Did you drop your CAD?"

"… Yes, I did." After a short pause, he answered.

"Why?"

"Because I was careless. My emotion got the best of me."

"Huh…?"

"A-anyway, he dropped it. Nothing serious happened here. So, can we go home now…?" Dio said hurriedly as not to incur more questions.

"… Okay, you all good to go, but make sure not to disturb everyone again. Got it?!"

"Yes ma'am!"

Five minutes later, they left. Morisaki also left although he looked reluctant. He kept staring at Erika with hatred. Let's just hope nothing bad happens.

"That was scary…" Said Mizuki.

"Yeah, if it weren't for Dio, thing could get really bad."

"I was ready though. Hehe." Erika said triumphantly.

"But Dio handled it really well. You were really cool back then." Said Mizuki embarrassedly. She bowed her head to hide her embarrassment.

"Don't mention it. I did nothing."

"No, I think you—" Erika stopped talking when she saw two course one students approaching them. They were with Morisaki's gang previously. "What is it?" Asked Erika in a bad mood.

"We want to apologize." Both of them bowed their head. "When Morisaki-san took his CAD, that was out of line."

"So, before that he wasn't going out of line huh?"

"That's not what I meant. We are sorry for everything."

The speaker for the two was an expressionless girl. The one beside her never made a sound and let her friend do the talking.

"Isn't it fine…?" Asked Dio to the other.

"What? Well, if you say so."

Erika was surprised but decided to trust Dio's judgment.

"C-can you let us go home with you?"

Finally, the big bre—the other girl asked Dio with a lot of expectation. "Um, before that, can you both introduce yourself? Oh, my name is Dio, the red-haired girl is Erika, the glasses girl is Mizuki, the strong boy is Leo, Miyuki, and her brother, Tatsuya. Haha, that's a lot to introduce."

"My name is Kitayama Shizuku and my friend here is Mitsui Honoka. Again, we're sorry for before."

"I see, so Shizuku and Honoka. Right, I should have remembered your name since we are in the same class. Well, nice to meet you again I guess."

"Um, can we go with you? Are you going home?" Asked Honoka again.

"Sure, you both can come with us."

"Thank you!"

The school was at the top of the mountain. So, everyone needed to go to the nearest train or cabinet station, unless they were picked up.

"So, Dio, I want to ask you about your move against Morisaki-san. What was that?! You were so fast. What kind of magic was that?"

When Erika asked the important question, everyone was listening seriously.

"It was not magic." Said Dio. "It was a movement technique called Hirenkyaku. A lightning quick movement by manipulating my inner pushion. My inner pushion will explode in a certain area to boost my movement. I guess that is the quickest way to describe it."

"That was way beyond lightning speed." Said Tatsuya.

"You were quite observant, Tatsuya."

"…"

"I see. Can I learn…?" Asked Erika with starry eyes.

"Probably not. You need masterful control in pushion."

"Ah, never mind then."

"If you want to try though, I am willing to teach you."

"What?! Really?"

"Sure." This is the least I can do to the family I owe.

"Awesome!" She said excitedly.

Then, everyone parted at the station and went home. By the way, who were those two I wonder. Dio didn't know the identity of the two girls that stopped them from fighting.

When they returned home, their aunt called for them.

"Good evening, Tatsuya and Miyuki."

The large screen showed a beautiful woman in her prime. She wore a purple gown to match her elegant nature. The woman was Yotsuba Maya, the current head of the infamous Yotsuba Clan, one of the Ten Master Clan that controlled Japan from the shadow. Miyuki hold her brother hand tightly. She undoubtedly feared the woman in front of her even only in the form of an image. Her brother reassured her by holding her hand gently.

"Good evening, Oba-sama. Is there a problem for you to call us this late?"

"Does it need to be a problem for me to call my dear nephew, Tatsuya?"

"It is nothing like that. We are just surprised."

Tatsuya was calm. He was always calm. For he was designed that way by his aunt.

"Fufufu, I was just joking. Please don't take it so seriously. You guys are so cute as always." She said while teasing the two.

"…"

Tatsuya and Miyuki could say nothing. They were unsure of whether their aunt was joking or being serious. She was always like that, like a tyrant who did whatever she please. Tatsuya and Miyuki thought so.

"Miyuki, how is school? Are you enjoying your youth?"

"Yes, Oba-sama. We made a lot of friends and have fun."

"I see. I am glad. What about you, Tatsuya?"

"I am happy as long as Miyuki is happy."

"Good answer." Said Maya. "I heard there was a trouble today with the Morisaki family. Did he hurt you, Miyuki?"

"No, Oba-sama. Dio took action before anything serious could happen. Besides, Onii-sama would certainly protect me. There is nothing to worry about."

As expected, nothing could escape her eyes. Tatsuya thought. The Yotsuba clan was very powerful. Tatsuya even dared to claim the Yotsuba clan was the most powerful clan in Japan. Yotsuba had two rivals, the Juumonji and the Saegusa. Even then, they were only powerful from outsider eyes but inside, Yotsuba influence was far greater than them. Not to mention his aunt, Yotsuba Maya was one of the strongest combat magicians ever even though she couldn't cause mass destruction.

"Your friend, Dio Rosen, he is strong."

"What?!"

Tatsuya was caught of guards. He was so surprised when his aunt suddenly said that. Coming from his aunt, Dio must be really strong. She never praised anyone just to please them. Her eyes looked serious as well. This was no joke.

"Is he an enemy?"

That was Tatsuya first question. His only objective was to protect the existence of Shiba Miyuki. Any threat must be eliminated no matter what.

"Fufufu, that's for you to decide."

"…" Tatsuya was silent. He had a lot to think about.

"Oba-sama, there is no way he is stronger than Onii-sama, right? How did you come into that conclusion in the first place?"

Miyuki raised a logical question.

"I heard a rumor about him." She said, smiling. Definitely not a rumor at all. Tatsuya thought. "Before that, do you know anything about Carla Schmidt?" Asked her aunt.

Tatsuya tried to remember that name. "Ah, one of the strategic-class magicians, right? The one with the magic of Ozone Circle. If I remember correctly, she's from Germany. Is she related to Dio?" Tatsuya was impatient.

There were people called the Thirteen Apostle. It was a nickname for the thirteen people who could use strategic-class magic, magic that could affect a large area. Carla Schmidt was one of them, being the youngest known strategic-class magician representing Germany.

"Yes." Maya said calmly. "At one time, she was kidnapped by a certain country when she was on a diplomatic mission to United Kingdom. She was taken into a secret facility near France."

"Blanche…"

"Perhaps. Anyway, within one day, the problem had been solved. Carla was sent home and everyone received a happy ending."

"…"

"Although, a mystery remains. Everyone in that facility died because of oxygen poisoning except for Carla alone. None of them survived. There was no trace of magic." Maya looked down, trying to recollect her thought. "Many people who knew of the event point their finger to Carla as the culprit. After all, the true nature of Ozone Circle is manipulating the substance of ozone. So, perhaps she could manipulate oxygen as well." She stopped talking for a while and looked up to Tatsuya. "However, my source managed to grab a piece of encrypted message. It says, well done, Dio—in German. The lead closes to your friend, Dio Rosen."

"… I see. No trace of magic. He indeed said that he was an expert at manipulating pushion."

"Pushion? No wonder. I see. So that's how it is." Maya whispered to herself. She also thought about the danger of the boy. If I can get him to side with us…

"Oba-sama, thank you for this valuable information." Tatsuya bowed courteously. "What to do of him?"

"For now, observe. That will be all for me. Have a good night. Fufufu…"

The screen went black.

"Onii-sama—"

"It's okay, Miyuki. Regardless of what happen, I will definitely protect you."

Tatsuya assured Miyuki of her safety and hugged her. On the other side, Dio kept sneezing while playing an online game with Carla.

"Dio, what's wrong with you?"

"My time has come..."

"What?! I am coming there right now!"

"A joke, a joke. I was joking. Geez..."
