Mahouka: The Yotsuba Prince (OC x Mayumi)

Part 33

Chapter 33

INEI YOTSUBA

It took him but a few hours to notice Mayumi Saegusa's absence from school and he was not the only one. The ex-Student Council President was somewhat of a celebrity at the school and so her absence was a matter of great importance.

But as soon as people began questioning it, a simple explanation came from her own family explaining it all. That the girl was simply ill and had decided to rest at home.

The student population may have believed it, but he did not, and neither did her friends. However, with the hustle of the thesis competition taking up most of the time, most did not think much of it.

But he was not like most of them. He had already done his own research into the whole incident and was rather surprised and astonished by his findings.

"Are you sure?" a pale Mari Watanabe questioned as he showed her his findings. They stood in the Hall of the main Yokohama Research Center Hall, where the thesis competition was set to take place.

"I had to confirm it three times, but yes. Mayumi has been kidnapped," he added and saw her face shift as she took in this news. Even though he had but given her half the news, for according to his research, somehow her own family had been involved in her abduction.

"Do you know where she is?" she asked with narrowed eyes, and that was what had taken him the most time.

"I do," and with that, she nodded.

"Then let me...." As soon as she began, suddenly, the whole building's alarms began to ring out, as he watched a truck break into the building.

BOOM!

And then he watched, as armed men rushed out of the smoke and began to fire at will at the staff and the students, threatening them.

"Stand down!"

"Stand down!" At that moment, all the screens of the building changed and showed a singular feed, one of a black-haired girl tied in a chair with disheveled hair.

"Mayumi!" Mari gasped from her side, as the feed shifted to show the face of a masked individual.

"Students at the Yokohama Technology Centre," the man's voice rang out through all of the speakers.

"Stand down, and give up your CADs, for the fate of this one student lies on your hands," and at that announcement, Inei felt all the surrounding gazes land on him as suddenly all the intruders turned their guns towards him.

"We do not come for war, but for justice. Our only demand is the one person responsible for killing our men residing in Tokyo, a person who sits beside you in this very building," and with that screen shifted as his own face appeared on the screen.

"A certified killer and terrorist who goes by the name of Inei Yotsuba," and he smirked as everyone looked towards him as Mari reached for her CAD.

"Inei!" she called out as she got ready to face all the enemies, while he simply smiled and raised his hands.

"Hand him over, and no harm will come to you," and with that, the feed vanished as Inei looked the men in the eye.

"If you were such big fans, you could have just asked," he taunted. Mari looked around nervously, and sirens began screaming off all over the city.

"Sure, I will come with you," he said, much to Mari's surprise, as he smiled at them.

"But if you harm a single hair on her body, I will kill you all," and so with that, a burly man stepped out of the truck and approached him, dressed in traditional armor that had long become obsolete.
