Mahouka: The Yotsuba Prince (OC x Mayumi)

Part 1

Chapter 1

In one of the few remaining laboratories of the Kunlunfang Institute of Dahan, the scientists were in a panic as they saw more and more of their country getting absorbed into the Great Asian Union due to the lack of magicians.

Once a leader in Magical progress, they had thought to leapfrog everyone in the world as they abducted the daughter of the mysterious Yotsuba clan of Japan, to engineer the ultimate weapon.

And this mistake would result in the destruction of their whole institution and then their country subsequently as they brought upon themselves the wrath of the Yotsuba clan, and now with all of them backed into a corner, in this secret lab was their only chance at turning the tide around.

A weapon engineered from the genetics of none other than Maya Yotsuba, the Demon Lord of the East, the strongest magician in the world.

"Push in more psions, I do not care. Push as much as you can. We have no more time," one of the lead scientists shouted as the massive psions, the building blocks of magic, were pushed into a child barely into his teenage years.

"AGHHHH!" the child screamed, as his body was devastated by the massive amount of psions being pushed into it.

"Sir! We have a problem. The psions are damaging the control circuit we implanted in the chil." Before the man could finish his words, a massive explosion shook the entire lab.

BOOOM!

The scientists were thrown back as the sealed room exploded. The boy, chained and bound by machines ever since he had opened his eyes, stood up on his two feet for the first time as soldiers surrounded him from all sides.

"BE careful. Remember, he is our only hope to change our destinies!"
"Be careful of his magic. Do not let him use i..."

Yet the screams and the orders came too late. The boy opened his eyes, gleaning an ominous red as he mouthed the last words everyone would hear.

"Activate Magic:...."

"STOP HIM!"

"....Malevolent Shrine!"

BOOOM!

In Nagano Prefecture lay an area of land that was not in any map available throughout the world, a piece of land unknown to all except a small portion of people shrouded in mystery and dread, one could argue that this was the most secure location in the entire world.

For this was the main residence of one of Japan's numbered families, the one's with the number four in their names. The Yotsuba.

Magic, the ability to make the impossible possible, was no longer a mystery but a reality grounded in calculation and tangibles, with magicians altering the phenomenon of the world using the psions, imposing their will upon the physical aspect of the world and altering it as per their desire.

Yet all were not blessed. Equally, the prowess to wield magic was linked to lineage, and so in Japan, the ten most powerful families wielding this power were known as the Ten Master Clans. They stood at the pinnacle of Japan's magical society, yet even amongst them, the Yotsuba were a cut above all.

The magicians accounted for less than one percent of the total population. They were created in truth through immoral and inhumane research into the human psyche and were inceptionalised as weapons, a role they would play to this day in the world, much to the disdain of the world.

And of those weapons, one of the strongest and most dangerous living weapons lived in this unmarked area of land, regarded as the most powerful magician of her age, the head of the Yotsuba Clan, infamous as the Queen of the Night, Maya Yotsuba.
