Jonasan and Tatsuya were in the First High School Extracurricular Activities Federation room. Mayumi, as well as Mari and Juumonji, were in attendance. They were asking the two about the incident that happened earlier that day.

"So, you didn't see how it started, then?" Mayumi asked.

"Right. All we saw was... Ms. Mibu of the kendo team and Mr. Kirihara of the Kenjutsu team arguing." Tatsuya said.

"Is that why you two didn't raise a hand at first?"

"Right. We thought that, if they were only going to end up with bruises, then they should settle the score amongst themselves." Jonasan said.

"After subduing Kirihara, what did you do with him?" Mari asked.

"Since he was injured and had already gone into shock, we handed him over to the Health Committee."

"And since he acknowledged his own wrongdoing, we made the call that no further measures were needed." Tatsuya said.

Mari sighed. "I guess that's fine. The Disciplinary Committee has no intention of sending this matter to the Correctional Committee. What do you say, Juumonji?"

"Juumonji is the chairman of the Extracurricular Activities Federation and an old childhood friend. When he was younger, he was a stickler for rules but Kurisu and I managed to get him to bend some every now and then. He is the next heir to the Juumonjis, the 10th Master Clan. He has grown to be rather imposing over the years and emits a rather dominating aura. With an ability like Phalanx though, it not surprising he has gotten as muscular has he has, every ounce of that strength can be used to stop incoming objects using Phalanx." Jonasan thought.

"I appreciate your lenient ruling." Juumonji said. "He used a highly lethal spell. Normally, there would be no escaping suspension. I'm sure he's aware of that himself. I'll council him to learn from this mistake of his."

"I'm counting on you." Mari said.

"But what about the kendo team?" Mayumi asked.

"The moment she took up the gauntlet, she was equally to blame. Let me confirm this one more time." Mari said, looking at Jonasan and Tatsuya. "Was Kirihara the only one who used magic?"

Both Jonasan and Tatsuya had a flashback to the two students who attempted to use magic before Jonasan broke their spells.

"That's correct." They both said at the same time.

"I see. Thank you for your hard work. Dismissed." Mari said.

"Excuse me." Both Jonasan and Tatsuya said.

"Wait a moment, Jonasan." Jyumonji said.

Jonasan remained standing at attention as Tatsuya left the room.

"Your face is familiar to me, but I cannot place where. Does he not look familiar Mayumi?" Jyumonji asked.

Mayumi tilted her head as she looked at him. "Very faintly. Have we met before?"

"I haven't met you before the first day of class Mayumi. Jyumonji, I've met you before, after the practical exam you and I exited the room at the same time, if you can call that meeting." Jonasan lied.

Jyumonji stared intently at him for a moment. "Very well, you may go."

Jonasan bowed and walked out.

...

Jonasan joined Tatsuya as they entered a café that their friends were in.

"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long." Tatsuya said as the two sat down at the table.
