A week had passed since Tatsuya and Miyuki had received that phone
call from Lina.
Lina's communication had been last Tuesday, and since today was
Monday, six days had passed. There were still no clues about the
terrorist attack or Heigu. This was the case not only for Tatsuya, but also
Maya and Canopus as well, none of whom had made progress in the
search for Heigu.
Furthermore, today was February 4th. The Master Clans Conference
would be held in two days' time.
The Master Clans Conference is the summit for the Japanese Magic
Community. Even for Ancient Magicians who didn't even accept the
Ten Master Clans as the Leaders of Magicians, they couldn't deny the
influence of the Master Clans Conference. Especially this year, the Ten
Master Clans Selection Meeting would be held on the second day. It
would decide the next Ten Master Clans for the next 4 years, which
heightened the Magician's concerns even more.
The students of First High, too, were restless since early morning.
Though they were only High School Students, being Magicians
themselves, they couldn't help being concerned. Especially for people
who are related to the Ten Master Clans and the 18 Assistant Houses, or
people associated with the Ten Master Clans whose probability for
selection was low, were anxious to the point of being incapable of
concentrating in school.
As Miyuki entered Class 2-A, the students reacted by freezing in shock,
and silence fell upon the room.
"Good morning, Shizuku, Honoka."
Miyuki greeted Shizuku in the seat in front and Honoka standing
adjacent to Shizuku. With a greeting, she removed the spell on her
classmates.
"Miyuki!? Why did you come to school!?"
Honoka let out a voice similar to a scream. With that, Class 2-A was
filled with the loud buzz of commotion.
"Why... Isn't today a weekday. For a High School Student to come to
school is a given, isn't it? Or since when have I been ostracized by my
friends? Or could it be bullying?"
Miyuki tilted her head with one hand on her cheek, making a troubled
expression.
In response to the unexpected counterattack, Honoka was bewildered.
Shizuku too had a face which indicated that she had no idea as to how
she could assist her.
However, the troubles of the two did not continue for long.
"I apologize, that was a joke."
A quick smile slipped out of Miyuki that turned into a giggle.
"I thought you would be absent? Today's the Master Clans Conference
