Irregular at Magic High School: The Black Dragon

Chapter Seven: Enrollment VII

Outside the Blanche Japanese Branch.

Tatsuya, Jonasan, Kurisu, Jyumonji, Erika, Leo, and Miyuki were in a jeep that was tearing its way toward the abandoned factory that Blanche was hiding out in.

"Shiba... This plot is your brainchild. You issue the commands." Jyumonji said.

"Right. Leo..." Tatsuya said, looking at him. "You secure our retreat. Erika, you assist Leo, and deal with anyone who tries to escape."

"Don't you want any of them captured?" Erika asked.

"No need to take on any undue risk. Just make sure you do it safely and securely." Tatsuya then looked at Jyumonji. "Chairman, please head for the rear exit with Kirihara. Miyuki, Jonasan, Kurisu, and I will continue on and break-in."

"Gotcha. You can count on us!" Jyumonji said as Kirihara looked at his sword.

Jonasan then saw the facility through the tree line. "There it is."

The jeep then came barreling around and corner and was flying toward the closed gate of the facility. As they prepared to ram the gate, Kurisu and Jonasan looked at each other and nodded in silent agreement.

"Hajime was theirs, one way or another."

"Now Leo!" Tatsuya said.

"Panzer!" Leo shouted as he glowed red from a fortification spell that spread over the jeep.

Jyumonji put the pedal to the metal and the jeep went flying toward the gate and smashed through it as if it were paper. Jyumonji quickly brought the vehicle to a stop just outside the door to the facility and everyone exited and went to their respective locations.

The factory was desolate, as expected from an abandoned facility. It actually reminded Jonasan of how HQ used to look when they first laid claim to the place, although that quickly changed as their empire expanded. There were broken shards of glass as well as wires dangling from the ceiling.

As they rounded a corner to a long hallway that ended in a set of doors, Tatsuya closed his eyes for a moment. Kurisu and Jonasan both knew he was using his elemental sight to sense what they were sensing. The room ahead of them was filled with Blanche members that were armed to the teeth. Tatsuya opened his eyes.

"Let's go, Miyuki." Tatsuya said.

"Right." She replied and the two walked forward.

Kurisu and Jonasan then flanked the two as they approached the door. Tatsuya cracked the door open and peered inside before completely opening the door. To three of the four members of the group, the room was pitch black. To Jonasan, however, the room was bright as day and, as such, he could easily see the Blanche members that were daring to point their weapons at them. A few shrunk back in fear in the dark at the sight of Jonasan's glowing, slightly red eyes. They walked into the room with Tatsuya and Miyuki looking around cautiously although Kurisu was staring dead ahead much like Jonasan was because he knew that Jonasan knew where the members were.

Jonasan quickly closed his eyes just as the shutters high above them were opened, letting the fading sunlight shine into the room. Once Jonasan's eyes switched back to normal, he opened his eyes and saw a new individual in from of them. It was a man with glasses and dressed in white, this was the head of the Japanese Branch of Blanche, Tsukasa Hajime.

"Welcome!" the man said.

Tatsuya, who was shielding his eyes from the sudden intrusion of sunlight, lowered his hand.

"So nice to meet you, Tatsuya Shiba! And Her Highness standing next to you... that must be your younger sister, Miyuki, no? The two to your left and right must be the Cosmos brothers.
