Chapter 15

KATSUTO JUMONJI

Katsuto Jumonji was more than just a student. He was the scion and acting head of the Jumonji clan of the Ten Master Clans, and like the whole organization, he was concerned about the recent appearance of the young Yotsuba clan boy.

It was always known that Miya Yotsuba had given birth to two children and their identity remained hidden to this day, the Clans respected the secrecy and privacy of the Yotsuba clan and did not pry but the elders in the organization knew of the two children.

But the same could not be said of Inei Yotsuba. The boy had appeared out of thin air and was rather public with his identity in a way that only a handful of Yotsuba had been to this day, and then that spelled trouble.

From what he had been able to piece together, Miya Yotsuba's two children were hailed as prodigies and were rumored to be the best magicians of their generation. Add to that the overwhelming prowess of Inei Yotsuba and Maya Yotsuba, who were still rather young, which made the Yotsuba simply too powerful as an existence. Something that threatened the very balance of the Ten Master Clans.

It was this trouble that brought him to the school's student council office. The school had been closed for a day after the whole Blanche incident and was set to open today. Today, the convention to solve the dispute between course one and course two students was to be held, so he was not surprised to find both Mayumi and Mari Watanabe present.

"Jumonji-san," Mayumi seemed surprised at seeing him, as she should be, for it was unusual for him to visit the Student Council Room, especially so early in the morning.

"Saegusa, can we talk?" he asked, and she nodded. And Mari realized that this was a clan matter, and so she raised her hands and walked out of the room, leaving him alone with Saegusa.

"So, what brings you here, Jumonji-san?" Mayumi asked as she motioned for him to take a seat.

He sat down to her right.

"Last night there was an informal seating of the representatives of the Ten Master Clans," he informed her and saw her frown as he took out his phone.

"And may I ask what the topic of this meeting was?" she asked pointedly.

"You know that very well, Saegusa," and with that, he passed her his phone as he played the very video that had come into discussion last night,

"That is a video of Hajime Tsukasa's interrogation," he explained. The Blanche leader's interrogation was a den of information and revealed much about the organizations working in Japan.

Though more damning for them was not what was in the video but rather what was not in it.

And he watched as suddenly the purple-haired man began to scream as the interrogator asked him a very specific question, a question about Inei Yotsuba and what had transpired in that abandoned building.

"That was the exact thing that happened with him and any other person who was asked about what transpired in that building," he elaborated and saw Mayumi's expression shift as she bit her lip.

She handed him back his phone.

"All the prisoners answered every question except that. Even now, the Ten Master Clans remain oblivious to the nature of Inei Yotsuba's prowess. He spared only a few from that building. According to Tatsuya's reports, there were more than three dozen men stationed inside, men who were armed and fully trained, yet when the police inspected the building, they found only a handful of people and a sea of blood," he finished, and that had been a disturbing finding.
