"Now, report the situation."
Inside an abandoned building, a somewhat serious voice rang out.
Inside this abandoned building, there is a room where various information is displayed on huge screens. There are more than a dozen screens of different sizes in this room. Because there are no lights, the blue fluorescent light shining on the busy people looks eerie and distorted.
"We have successfully infiltrated the Magic Association in Yokohama and are now moving on to the next phase of our work."
"That's what one of the people monitoring the data reported."
"We have successfully rendezvoused with headquarters personnel and expect to begin operations soon."
"Furthermore, the plan to seize the Relic has failed."
The man frowned, his expression somewhat unpleasant, as he reported.
"Has the Magic Sequence preservation function of the Relic been confirmed?"
The newborn giant spoke again.
Clearly, the burly man in the red and white shirt was the leader of the group.
"Not yet. Currently, the place with the most Relic is the ' Lost Land,' where a large number of Relic were left behind after the ancient Eastern kingdom disappeared. However, the area is closely watched by various countries, making it difficult for us to obtain them independently. Therefore, I think it would be difficult, if not impossible, to decipher them without the physical artifacts."
One of the people working on the data suddenly turned around and answered.
This person is clearly in charge of information related to this area.
" The Relic of the Lost Land ' are not something we can touch, so let's not even think about it."
"If the Magic Sequence preservation function is real, and if we could obtain it, our Cosmic Nation's magical combat power would advance by leaps and bounds."
Looking at the Qiong Magatama-shaped Relic displayed on the screen, he was filled with greed and longing.
We must get our hands on the Relic no matter what!
Night, at Chiba Yeyou's house.
"It's been quite lively where you are lately!"
Tiffany took the black tea from Fei'er, took a small sip, and said meaningfully.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
"What's up with Tiffany today? Is she in such a good mood?"
You don't usually give me this kind of perk!
Chiba Yeyou admired Tiffany in her black stockings. If he remembered correctly, Tiffany rarely wore this outfit. Tiffany usual attire consisted of suits, work clothes, and other clothing that covered her up quite well. He had only seen this one before... well, this must be the second time.
Is it pretty?
Tiffany placed the black tea on the table beside her, stood up, and spun around in front of the camera, fully displaying her alluring figure to Chiba Yeyou.
"Not bad."
Chiba Yeyou kept looking her over.
Do you know who those people are?
Chiba Yeyou steered the conversation back to the main topic.
"Who else could it be?"
"After that ancient Eastern country disappeared, don't you know who's been the loudest in all of East Asia?"
Tiffany said with a hint of sarcasm.
"It's them again?"
Chiba Yeyou was somewhat surprised. This wasn't some kind of the Great Asian Alliance anymore, but she hadn't expected them to be so brave.
"There's no other way. Their ambitions are too great, and they have to resort to thievery to achieve them."
"Forget it, they call it an ideal, but it's really just wishful thinking."
"They even want to become number one in Asia, forming Great Asian Alliance with themselves at its core. Just thinking about it makes me laugh."
Chiba Yeyou shook her head helplessly.
"But they really dared to do it!"
"You France haven't been robbed before, have you?"
"Just a clown."
"In short, you should still be careful to avoid being taken advantage of due to information asymmetry."
Tiffany gave her instructions.
"Yes, thank you, Tiffany."
The morning's classes were finally over, Chiba Yeyou went to the Student Council room for lunch as usual.
"Yo!"
Is everyone here?
As usual, Chiba Yeyou took out her lunch, sat down next to Mayumi Saegusa, and began to eat.
There was nothing he could do; the Thesis Competition had nothing to do with him, so Chiba Yeyou was quite relaxed, unlike these busy guys.
" Chiba Yeyou, I hope you can take charge of the overall security at the thesis presentation venue."
Mari Watanabe looked at Chiba Yeyou and made a sincere request.
"Shouldn't this be a joint responsibility of your Public Morals Committee, the Jumonji Club's Club Activities Group, and the people from the Magic University?"
Chiba Yeyou paused, somewhat surprised, as she continued eating her lunch.
Mari Watanabe glanced at Mayumi Saegusa and gave her a meaningful look.
Mayumi Saegusa nodded.
"Recently, there have been many illegal immigrants. Based on past experience with Thesis Competition, it's likely that this group is organized and premeditated, and their target is definitely the essay competition."
"But we don't have any good way to catch them, and we haven't detected any further moves by them, so even reporting it to the police won't help."
"So.."
"So you thought of me?"
"That's right."
"Okay, no problem."
Chiba Yeyou nodded.
"However, you'll need to manage your own equipment; I'll only be responsible for things like accidental attacks."
"That's fine."
Mari Watanabe was very happy that Chiba Yeyou had agreed to the job, as this would greatly reduce their stress.
They had complete confidence in Chiba Yeyou and the others.
No one is more suitable for this job than Chiba Yeyou.
After school that evening, Chiba Yeyou was unaware that Tatsuya Shiba being followed.
A female student with pigtails from First High School was picked up by a black van. Judging from her school uniform, she was clearly a Course 2 Student.
"Is that girl alright?"
The leader's voice echoed from the abandoned building.
"The people in that van were all assigned by Lord Zhou; no matter what happens, our presence will not be revealed."
The person next to him answered.
"Was he introduced by that young man?"
"I wonder if it's reliable?"
The leader looked at the First High School students on the monitor with a somewhat dismissive expression.
He's just giving it a try; the people he's using aren't his own. If he fails, it doesn't matter; if he succeeds, he'll make a fortune.
It's a business with no initial investment.
"How's the Relic situation going?"
"Although there are no traces of it being taken from Four Leaves Technology Company, its whereabouts remain unknown."
"This is what a person sitting at the control panel reported."
"We cannot relax our surveillance of Sayuri Shiba even for a moment. Keep a close eye on her!"
"By the way, did she find anything at the house she went to at night before?"
The leader suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked something.
The house is inhabited by her husband's children from his previous marriage; they are a brother and sister.
Another person reported.
"Who are those two?"
Both of them are first-year students at the First High School Affiliated with Magic University.
"What's your name?"
