Not long after Yunyi returned to the classroom, it was time for class. Yunyi didn't sleep that morning. He was also pondering the current situation and speculating about the reasons why the Japan military had taken this action.
In the original story, the Japan military did not take any unusual actions on the eve of the Yokohama riots. In fact, the Japan military only noticed the troop movements in the joint naval port after Chen Xiangshan and Lü Ganghu led their troops to invade Japan and cause unrest. If the Japan military had made contingency plans in advance, they wouldn't have had Tatsuya Shiba directly bombard the naval port with the Strategic-Class Magic " Material Burst," which attracted a lot of attention.
Currently, Liu Yunde has about 70% command of the Allied forces. If there is any large-scale mobilization or combat operation, Liu Yunde will definitely inform him. Even if Liu Yunde is restrained by the officials of the Executive Government, the Allied military still has his spies and Xiaoxue and others, so it is impossible for him to be completely unaware of the situation.
He was puzzled that the United Nations was not taking any action, but Japan was trying to stir up trouble.
"Could something have happened to the Japan military? But what could be the reason? Could it be that the Japan military or the Ten Master Clans have cultivated another powerful Strategic-Class Magic, making their military personnel feel more confident?" Yunyi kept pondering in his mind.
In fact, his guess had touched upon the truth, but what he didn't expect was that the Japan military's confidence didn't stem from cultivating a new Strategic-Class Magic. Their confidence came from Yunyi.
The incident that occurred in Ogasawara was quelled thanks to the efforts of many parties. However, the military's attempt to recruit Yunyi was stalled by the obstruction of several Ten Master Clans families, including Jumonji. The military was quite unhappy about this, as they did not want to let someone capable of using powerful Strategic-Class Magic escape their control. Therefore, they planned to use war as a pretext to forcibly conscript Yunyi for military use.
Once war breaks out, even if the Ten Master Clans tries to stop it, the resistance will be much less. In fact, the government's stance will waver after the war starts. At that point, even the mages under the Ten Master Clans will be mobilized, and the resistance to forced conscription will not be so important.
These things were unexpected not only by Yunyi, but also by only a handful of people among the leaders of the Ten Master Clans.
At that Saegusa Family, Koichi Saegusa had just received the news. The instant he saw the message, he felt as if his head was splitting open.
Those who shared the same feeling as Koichi Saegusa included Shingon Kudou and Retsu Kudou from the Kudou Family, as well as Katsuto Jumonji, the head of the Jumonji Family also attended First High School.
These people were also kept in the dark, and they were speculating about the reasons behind the sudden troop movements. Of course, most of them had connections with the military, so while speculating, they were also using these connections to contact the military to inquire about the reasons.
Within the Ten Master Clans, another patriarch was also paying attention to this matter. However, she was not in a hurry to contact and verify; she was more like an outsider, considering the development of events from a different perspective.
" Hayama, what's your opinion on this?" Maya Yotsuba put down the terminal in her hand and asked Hayama, who was standing next to her, for his opinion.
"Master, I think the military's reason for doing this might be to try and win people over through forceful means," Hayama replied respectfully.
"A tough approach? That's an interesting answer. So, Hayama, who do you think the military is trying to win over?" Maya Yotsuba continued to ask.
Hayama fell silent, unsure how to answer the question. In the past, he might have said it was Tatsuya Shiba. But Tatsuya Shiba already held a military rank, and the military's actions would only change Yotsuba Clan's attitude towards them, which seemed counterproductive. Moreover, there was another variable within Japan: if the military's target was indeed that person, it would be a huge joke.
"So, you have an answer?" Maya Yotsuba asked.
"Well, if the military really has such a plan, then it would be a huge joke," Hayama said with a hint of helplessness.
"Hehe~ I think the same way as you. Hayama, do you think I should meet that child?" Maya Yotsuba asked.
"Master, I don't think this is a good idea," Hayama objected.
"Yes, that's not a good idea." Maya Yotsuba repeated Hayama's words.
"But that child really catches my eye. I think it wouldn't hurt to take a risk for him, wouldn't it? What do you think, Hayama?"
Hearing Maya Yotsuba's words, Hayama felt a bit of a headache. He knew that the girl in front of him was being "willful" again. Hayama didn't try to persuade her further; after a moment of silence, he said, "Then I'll make the arrangements for you?"
"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Maya Yotsuba smiled, already looking forward to meeting Yunyi.
Time flies, and soon a day has passed.
Although the threat of the " Parasite " has been resolved, other problems still exist for First High School.
Yesterday, Kei Isori, the assistant for the Thesis Competition at First High School, was seriously injured in an attack by " Parasite " and Zhou Gongjin's subordinates. Although he survived, he will need at least a month to fully recover. As a result, one of the three contestants is missing. At this moment, in the Student Council office of First High School, Mayumi Saegusa and others are worrying about this problem.
"Judging from grades, Isao Sekimoto is the most suitable candidate in the third year. However, his ideas are fundamentally different from Rin's, and he is also an accomplice of terrorists, so it's impossible to let him join the competition team. As for the others, their level is far too low," Mayumi Saegusa said helplessly.
"This is really a headache," Mari Watanabe echoed.
Azusa Nakajo and Miyuki Shiba, standing to the side, were also looking at the list in their hands with a troubled expression, neither of them having any good suggestions either. As for Suzune Ichihara, she sat calmly in her seat, looking composed and seemingly not worried at all.
Just when everyone in the room was at a loss, Yunyi walked into the Student Council room. Seeing the looks they were giving him, he paused slightly, "What's wrong with you all? You look like the sky has fallen?"
"We're struggling to find replacements for our Thesis Competition team," Miyuki Shiba answered Yunyi's question.
