Katsuto Jumonji had always felt something was off about the relationship between Yunyi and Mayumi Saegusa. Their relationship was progressing too quickly, catching everyone off guard.
Based on the current situation, it can be inferred that Mayumi Saegusa knew Yunyi's identity before they established a relationship. If this is the case, then Mayumi Saegusa's choice and actions constitute a betrayal of the Ten Master Clans and even Japan.
This was a situation that Katsuto Jumonji did not want to see. That's why he directly targeted the current head of the Saegusa Family. Based on his understanding of Koichi Saegusa, he believed that this man could provide a convincing reason.
This sudden revelation of their identities surprised all the heads of the Ten Master Clans. Even Koichi Saegusa and Maya Yotsuba, who already knew the truth, were caught off guard.
In the Yotsuba Family's main residence, Maya Yotsuba looked at the message sent to her terminal. After a brief moment of surprise, she smiled softly.
" Koichi, how are your preparations going? This sudden exposure will likely seriously affect the Saegusa Family's status. I wonder if you can turn this into an opportunity. I'm really looking forward to seeing how you perform," Maya Yotsuba whispered.
Standing behind her, Hayama also saw the identity information of Yunyi that Katsuto Jumonji had made public. In fact, the message was first transmitted to his terminal, and he personally informed Maya Yotsuba.
Just as Hayama was mentally calculating the possible developments, Maya Yotsuba's voice suddenly rang out. " Hayama, arrange a plane for me. We need to leave for Tokyo immediately."
"Master, what brings you here?" Hayama asked, puzzled. He couldn't figure out what Maya Yotsuba was planning to do in Tokyo. In his opinion, she was probably going to see either Koichi Saegusa or that boy named Yunyi. But in his view, seeing either of them was not a good choice at this sensitive time.
"Go see that child. I have a feeling I'll regret it if I don't see him and talk to him," Maya Yotsuba said.
Her explanation caused her usually expressionless face to reveal an inappropriate expression.
Maya Yotsuba wasn't surprised by Hayama's reaction; a sense of anticipation was growing within her. She wanted to meet Yunyi in person and see what kind of person this boy, who knew so many secrets, truly was. She even wanted to see how he would react to her.
Unlike the Yotsuba Family, the heads of the other families took immediate action upon receiving the message from Katsuto Jumonji. In their view, the Saegusa Family needed to provide an explanation first, no matter what. Among them, the former head of the Kudou Family, Retsu Kudou, was the most agitated. Known as a grandmaster in the Japan magic world, he had taught many students. The current heads of the Yotsuba Family and Saegusa Family had studied under him.
When Yunyi came into his sight, Retsu Kudou took a liking to the child. He placed his hopes for balancing the Ten Master Clans on Yunyi, and even after learning of Yunyi's extraordinary strength, he did not change his mind. The reason he made such a decision back then, without even carefully verifying Yunyi's identity, was because Yunyi already had an unusual relationship with Mayumi Saegusa.
As the daughter of the Saegusa Family, it was impossible for her boyfriend, Koichi Saegusa, not to inquire about her. Out of trust in his former student, Retsu Kudou chose Yunyi as a suitable candidate. But now, the news that Yunyi is Strategic-Class Magic of the Great Asian Alliance has been revealed, which is like a slap in the face to Retsu Kudou.
Soon, an internal meeting of the Ten Master Clans was convened. Due to the urgency of the matter, the clan heads did not choose to gather in person and instead held an online meeting. However, as if they had agreed beforehand, the clan heads did not make the matter public any further.
As soon as the video call connected, without even exchanging pleasantries, Retsu Kudou spoke directly, " Koichi, you should know very well why this meeting was convened. Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Retsu Kudou appeared calm on the screen, but his serious tone made it clear to everyone else that the old man was seething with anger.
Koichi Saegusa's gaze swept over everyone on the screen, and after a moment of silence, he sighed.
His actions caused the family heads to frown, but before they could ask any questions, Koichi Saegusa began to speak.
"Everyone, I did know about Liu Yunyi's identity a long time ago. To be precise, it was my daughter Mayumi Saegusa, who first discovered his identity and told me about it."
"Let's first talk about Liu Yunyi's purpose in coming to Japan, which I think is what everyone wants to know. According to my daughter Mayumi, his main purpose in coming to Japan is to study. Of course, with his abilities, what he wants to learn is not the knowledge taught in magic high schools or Magic University, but rather the educational philosophy and methods."
"Unlike the Great Asian Alliance, we are a magical superpower. Our education system is far more comprehensive than theirs, and that's exactly what Liu Yunyi wants to learn. However, our educators are somewhat biased towards the militarized application of magic. So, during his infiltration, Liu Yunyi became disillusioned with the Japan education system. Coupled with certain factors, such as the sudden tsunami caused by the underwater earthquake in the Ogasawara Islands, which exposed his abilities, he attracted the attention of the military and revealed his identity."
Koichi Saegusa's narration silenced all the family heads. Putting aside the fact that the Saegusa Family had concealed Yunyi's identity, the fact that Koichi Saegusa could now reveal everything he knew was enough to prove that Saegusa had not truly betrayed the Ten Master Clans.
Of course, among those present, the head of the Yotsuba Family family, Maya Yotsuba, had a slight smile playing on her lips. She wouldn't dare say that everything Koichi Saegusa said was false, but she was certain that some of it was definitely false. However, Maya Yotsuba didn't intend to expose Koichi Saegusa; she wanted to see how this old fox could try to explain himself.
" Koichi, please continue," Retsu Kudou urged.
Koichi Saegusa responded, and after organizing his thoughts, continued, "Now that we've discussed the objective, let's talk about the results. As an undercover agent, and especially in a sensitive place like First High School, Liu Yunyi has indeed obtained a lot of useful information. I've already had my son, Tomoichi, compile a list of this information, which I'll send to everyone later."
"Next, I'll explain why the Saegusa Family helped conceal his identity. I think this is what you're all most concerned about..."
