"Is Bai Feng all right? He looked awfully serious just now," Mizuki Shibata said worriedly.
"Brother," Miyuki Shiba said, looking worried as well.
"Don't worry. There's more to Bai Feng than meets the eye," Tatsuya Shiba replied.
"Tatsuya, there was actually something I wanted to ask Bai Feng just now, but he had something to do and left," Mizuki Shibata said.
"What did you want to ask him, Mizuki?" Tatsuya Shiba asked.
"Well, when I saw Bai Feng use magic just now, he took out his CAD, but it didn't seem to activate a sequence. I wanted to ask him how he did it," Mizuki Shibata said.
"What?"
Tatsuya Shiba was shocked to hear that.
"Brother, what is it?" Miyuki Shiba asked in confusion.
"It's nothing. This is just a guess, but I think Bai Feng can use magic without a CAD," Tatsuya Shiba said.
"Brother, do you mean Bai Feng is an Ancient Magic user like our teacher?" Miyuki Shiba asked.
"Yeah."
Tatsuya Shiba actually had another guess: that Baifeng Uesugi was his elder brother. But it was only a guess, and he had no confirmation.
After leaving Tatsuya Shiba and the others, Bai Feng used magic to accelerate and rushed to the dojo.
The message he had just received was from Yakumo Kokonoe.
It was short: "Someone came looking for you."
When Baifeng Uesugi saw the message, his heart grew heavy.
When he had left, he had agreed to contact Maya Yotsuba regularly, so by rights, they shouldn't have sent anyone to look for him.
Still, Baifeng Uesugi hoped that Maya Yotsuba had sent them.
If Maya Yotsuba had sent people to find him, then at worst, something had happened at home, or she missed him.
But if those people had discovered his whereabouts, things would be much more troublesome.
Over the past two years, Baifeng Uesugi had gone to great lengths to disappear from their sight.
When Baifeng Uesugi arrived at Yakumo Kokonoe's dojo, he found it in ruins, with quite a few people seriously injured.
Baifeng Uesugi hurried inside and found that Yakumo Kokonoe was also badly hurt.
"Teacher, how are you?" Baifeng Uesugi asked with concern.
"I'm not seriously hurt, but who were those people? How come every one of them could use Ancient Magic?"
Yakumo Kokonoe asked in confusion.
"Teacher, this is a complicated matter. The more you know, the more likely they are to come after you, so I'd better not tell you."
Baifeng Uesugi said.
"All right, but they wrecked my place like this. You have to help me get even."
After the fight, Yakumo Kokonoe knew full well that he was no match for them.
He wouldn't have been afraid to fight them one-on-one, but there were too many of them. Two fists were no match for four hands.
And since Baifeng Uesugi had told him not to get involved, he could only trouble Baifeng Uesugi to help him get even.
"Don't worry, teacher. I'll definitely help you get even."
Baifeng Uesugi smiled.
"Teacher, if there's nothing else, I'll be going."
"All right. Little Feng, take care of yourself."
Yakumo Kokonoe cautioned him.
"Don't worry, teacher."
After taking his leave of Yakumo Kokonoe, Baifeng Uesugi returned to his home.
Looking at his empty room, Baifeng Uesugi felt weary.
He had only moved in a few days ago and had planned to use this break from classes to go shopping for some decorations, but it looked like he wouldn't have time now.
Baifeng Uesugi took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Beep, beep, beep, beep..."
"Little Feng, why are you calling at this hour? Did something happen?"
Maya Yotsuba's lovely voice came from the other end of the line, though her tone was worried.
"Sister Maya, I'm fine. I just got back from Yakumo Kokonoe's place, and I learned that those people seem to have found their way there."
Baifeng Uesugi explained.
Even so, feeling Maya Yotsuba's concern warmed Baifeng Uesugi's heart.
In his previous life, he had been all alone and had never experienced having someone care about him.
He couldn't help thinking how nice it was to have someone care about him.
"I'm glad you're all right. Since those people have already found you there, why don't you just come back?" Maya Yotsuba said.
"Sister Maya, I've only been to school for one day. I haven't even gotten a feel for it yet, and you already want me to leave."
Baifeng Uesugi spoke helplessly.
"I'm just worried something might happen to you over there."
Maya Yotsuba explained.
"Sister Maya, don't you know how strong I am? What could happen to me?"
Baifeng Uesugi smiled.
"All right, but you must have called me for something else, too, right?"
Maya Yotsuba asked.
"Sister Maya, I'd like you to help me prepare a plane. I want to make a trip to the Coffee Country."
Baifeng Uesugi said.
"Little Feng, what are you going to the Coffee Country for?"
Maya Yotsuba asked in confusion.
"To draw their attention elsewhere. Otherwise, I won't be able to attend school in peace."
Baifeng Uesugi explained.
"Then should I give you some men?"
Maya Yotsuba asked.
"No need, Sister Maya. It'll be easier for me to act alone. More people would just be a burden."
Baifeng Uesugi declined.
"All right. When do you need the plane?" Maya Yotsuba asked.
"Tomorrow. The sooner I go, the sooner I can come back. Better not to let things drag on."
Baifeng Uesugi said after some thought.
"All right. I'll let you know when the plane arrives."
Maya Yotsuba replied.
After chatting with Maya Yotsuba about everyday matters, Baifeng Uesugi hung up.
The next day.
That morning, Baifeng Uesugi received a message from Maya Yotsuba saying that the plane had arrived and he could go straight to the airport.
Knowing the plane was ready, Baifeng Uesugi got up, washed up, and hurried to the airport.
First High School.
As Tatsuya Shiba and Miyuki Shiba walked side by side through campus, they heard Mayumi Saegusa's voice behind them.
"Tatsuya!"
Mayumi Saegusa waved her hand and ran up to the Shiba siblings.
"Good morning, Tatsuya. Good morning to you too, Miyuki."
Mayumi Saegusa greeted them.
"Good morning, President," Tatsuya Shiba replied.
"Good morning," Miyuki Shiba replied politely.
"There's something I'd like to talk to you about, Miyuki. Do you have any plans for your lunch break today?" Mayumi Saegusa asked with a smile.
"President, I'm going to be with my brother at lunch," Miyuki Shiba said.
"That's fine. Tatsuya, you can come along too," Mayumi Saegusa said with a smile.
Miyuki Shiba glanced at Tatsuya Shiba again. Seeing that he didn't object, she said,
"All right, President. My brother and I will be there at lunch."
"Great. See you at the student council at lunch, then."
With that, Mayumi Saegusa left.
