And just this hour, the boy known most commonly as Connla, met his partner for the next three years.

A thirteen-year-old boy named Motohama Ken.

"What a headache..."

.....................................................

Standing outside the several story tall abandoned building, Motohama Ken tapped his feet as his eyes moved from the building to his new partner.

"Stop that," Motohama stopped and turned to look at Connla.

"Stop what?" He asked, raising an eyebrow, his left foot slowly picking up speed again as he returned to tapping it.

"Stop tapping your foot, it's annoying," The older teenager said, frowning at Motohama from behind his dark sunglasses. His own Shin-Corp Uniform is a sharp black in contrast to Motohama's white.

"Sorry," Motohama said, his foot stopping its movement, "It's just that this is my first mission, and I'm getting nervous that-"

"Don't," Connla interrupted him, "The moment a warrior gets nervous when approaching battle, is the moment his defeat has been sealed," He said, almost as if reciting something from an old memory.

"But this isn't battle, I'm not nervous about failing or anything, I'm nervous thinking about what Yokai live inside," Motohama said, A nervous smile on his younger face, "I don't know many Yokai, and my first meeting with one didn't really leave the best impression, So I'm hoping these guys will be different," He chuckled lightly before his hand started twiddling with the pack of Onmyodo Talismans by his hips, pulling out several Shielding Talsimans and placing them around his wrists and shoulders.

Connla rolled his eyes and scoffed, looking up as the sun finally set behind the nearby mountain.

"I don't care for your reasoning, We're starting," He said, His shadow glowing with purple magic as it spread around him like a pool of black and purple tar.
