"Yes, Shiba, you're not wrong, but to be honest, I don't want to agree with your view."
No sooner had Tatsuya Shiba finished Kanon than Katsuto Jumonji sighed.
" Jumonji, what do you mean by that?" Mari Watanabe asked, puzzled.
"If Si Bo's conjecture is correct, it means that Yun Yi has other footholds overseas. In fact, there may be shadows of other forces behind him. With his ability, if he works for other organizations, what is the strength of this organization? If it were him. The degree of danger of an organization that he controls may be even more dangerous. Moreover, whether he works for or controls it personally, then this organization must be very supportive of his ideas. The existence of such an organization may really have an impact on Neon... no, it should be said that it has an impact on the pattern of the world."
At this point, Katsuto Jumonji paused. He was unsure how to express his conjecture. He was reluctant to continue speculating along this line of thought.
No matter how much they discussed it here, no one could have imagined that this incident was just a complete misunderstanding.
The Japan military misunderstood the Ten Master Clans' intention in dispatching Mio Itsuwa to the front lines, believing it was a sign of support from the Ten Master Clans for their operation, hence the fleet's deployment. Meanwhile, the Great Asian Alliance was unaware of what was happening in Japan. Seeing that the Japan fleet had assembled and with Mio Itsuwa's arrival, Liu Yunde felt a growing sense of crisis and called Yunyi for assistance.
If only one party had acted out of misunderstanding, there might still be room for explanation, and the situation could remain under control. However, now that both sides have taken action, and given their adversarial stance, any action by one will have far-reaching consequences, thus eliminating any chance for de-escalation.
"In any case, this incident cannot be resolved through our private methods. The most urgent task is to contact Saegusa and see if she has any way to alleviate the current situation," Katsuto Jumonji.
"Leave the matter of contacting President Saegusa to me and my brother. Yunyi gave us a contact number before, not the terminal number he usually uses, so maybe we can contact him or President Saegusa through this," Miyuki Shiba added.
"Alright, then I'll leave this to the two of you." Katsuto Jumonji nodded, then looked at Mari Watanabe and Gyoubu Hattori beside him. "I'll leave the school affairs to you. Nakajo isn't good at handling these things, Watanabe and Hattori, you two will assist her."
"I understand, leave it to us!" Gyoubu Hattori responded, Mari Watanabe nodded as well. Only Azusa Nakajo still looked somewhat timid.
"As for the matter with the Ten Master Clans, leave it to me. I'll find out the specifics and contact the heads of each clan to see if they have any solutions. Hopefully, we can find a way before the two sides clash." Katsuto Jumonji finally concluded, then got up and left the Student Council room.
If this incident hadn't been caused by Yunyi, Katsuto Jumonji wouldn't have gone to such lengths to find a solution. This new head of the Jumonji Family is a nationalist. If war were to break out between the two countries, he would definitely be on the front lines. It was only because of the variable of Yunyi that he took action.
One person may not be able to stop the course of a war, and the same is true for a magician. But if it is a strategic-level magician, then it is possible to accomplish what is normally impossible. This is the significance of the existence of Strategic-Class Magic, and it is also why the Japan military has such great confidence in the arrival of Mio Itsuwa.
After Katsuto Jumonji left, Tatsuya Shiba and the others dispersed. At the moment, the most important thing was for everyone to do their own thing; staying would have no impact on the situation whatsoever.
Tatsuya Shiba and Miyuki Shiba had planned to return to their respective classrooms first and keep their contact secret until they made contact with each other, and then make other plans. However, as soon as Miyuki Shiba entered Class A's classroom, she saw Shizuku Kitayama and Honoka Mitsui standing by her desk waiting for her to return.
" Honoka, and Shizuku? What's going on with you two?" Miyuki Shiba looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.
" Miyuki, he... he left, didn't he?" Shizuku Kitayama stared at Miyuki Shiba.
Honoka Mitsui didn't speak, but simply stayed by Shizuku Kitayama's side. The news of the Ten Master Clans' encirclement and capture of Yunyi last night was circulating in a small circle among the upper echelons of the Japan magic world. Shizuku Kitayama's father, Ushio Kitayama, had also learned about this through his connections.
This morning, Ushio Kitayama told Shizuku Kitayama about it. He himself was unaware of his daughter's feelings and only told her to remind her to avoid getting involved in the incident. However, Shizuku Kitayama panicked upon learning this. Previously, because of what Yunyi had said, Shizuku Kitayama had completely come to terms with herself because of this incident. So, as soon as she arrived at school, she wanted to find Miyuki Shiba to ask about the specifics.
It's obvious to everyone that the Shiba siblings have a different relationship with Yunyi. Apart from Mayumi Saegusa, they are the two who have the best relationship with Yunyi. Moreover, Shizuku Kitayama also has some suspicions about the identities of Tatsuya Shiba and Miyuki Shiba, but she didn't investigate further.
Miyuki Shiba glanced around and, finding that her classmates weren't paying attention to them, whispered, "They should have left already. President Saegusa probably left with them too. Shizuku, you don't need to worry."
"Yes, I understand." Shizuku Kitayama nodded gently, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes, but it only lingered for a moment before she regained her usual expression.
Miyuki Shiba clearly saw the change in Shizuku Kitayama Shizuku's expression. She also understood Shizuku Kitayama's situation, but what could she do? Not to mention Shizuku Kitayama, her own cousin also had some ambiguous feelings for Yunyi. And what happened? He left decisively, without taking anyone except his official girlfriend.
Of course, at this time, Miyuki Shiba was unaware that Yunyi had also taken the twins from the Saegusa Family. This was something the Saegusa Family and the other Ten Master Clans involved in the capture intentionally concealed. Otherwise, this would have been a huge blow to the Saegusa Family's reputation and would have been detrimental to the current situation. Moreover, none of them could be sure that if they really pushed the Saegusa Family Saegusa Family the brink, Yunyi, having taken away three of their daughters, might suddenly return and overturn the tables of the Ten Master Clans.
