A week had passed since Tatsuya and Miyuki had received that phone call from Lina.
Linas communication had been last Tuesday, and since today was Monday, six days had passed. There were still no clues about the terrorist attack or Heigu. This was the case not only for Tatsuya, but also Maya and Canopus as well, none of whom had made progress in the search for Heigu.
Furthermore, today was February 4th. The Master Clans Conference would be held in two days ti.
The Master Clans Conference is the summit for the Japanese Magic Community. Even for Ancient Magicians who didnt even accept the Ten Master Clans as the Leaders of Magicians, they couldnt deny the influence of the Master Clans Conference. Especially this year, the Ten Master Clans Selection eting would be held on the second day. It would decide the next Ten Master Clans for the next 4 years, which heightened the Magicians concerns even more.
The students of First High, too, were restless since early morning. Though they were only High School Students, being Magicians themselves, they couldnt help being concerned. Especially for people who are related to the Ten Master Clans and the 18 Assistant Houses, or people associated with the Ten Master Clans whose probability for selection was low, were anxious to the point of being incapable of concentrating in school.
As Miyuki entered Class 2-A, the students reacted by freezing in shock, and silence fell upon the room.
"Good morning, Shizuku, Honoka."
Miyuki greeted Shizuku in the seat in front and Honoka standing adjacent to Shizuku. With a greeting, she removed the spell on her classmates.
"Miyuki!? Why did you co to school!?"
Honoka let out a voice similar to a scream. With that, Class 2-A was filled with the loud buzz of commotion.
"Why Isnt today a weekday. For a High School Student to co to school is a given, isnt it? Or since when have I been ostracized by my friends? Or could it be bullying?"
Miyuki tilted her head with one hand on her cheek, making a troubled expression.
In response to the unexpected counterattack, Honoka was bewildered. Shizuku too had a face which indicated that she had no idea as to how she could assist her.
However, the troubles of the two did not continue for long. "I apologize, that was a joke."
A quick smile slipped out of Miyuki that turned into a giggle.
"I thought you would be absent? Todays the Master Clans Conference after all."
"Y-Yeah!"
Honoka who followed-up, anxiously drew closer to Miyuki.
"Miyuki, is it fine to not go to the Conference? After all, this ti, theyre holding the selection eting, too? Since youre the successor, ah"
Honoka covered her mouth with her hand, showing an expression that she ssed up.
The classmates who heard this, turned away all at once.
"Even though I would prefer it if you werent so bothered about it"
Miyuki put on a smile of embarrassnt. But the classmates who, until recently, were concerned about her, couldnt help but worry about her attendance.
"So Miyuki, is it okay to not go?"
Following Miyuki's statent, Shizuku asked a rather bland question to break the sour mood.
"Well, I wasnt invited to go."
As Miyuki answered while smiling, gazes which seed to say "Eh?" gathered around her.
"I wonder if Honoka and Shizuku dont know this. The venue of the Master Clans Conference is a secret to everyone except the attendees. For the 18 Assistant Houses attending the Selection eting, as of today, they are only inford about the approximate location, with the specifics about the room being used still unknown."
"But Miyuki is"
To Honoka revealing her surprise, Miyuki pleasantly smiled.
It paralyzed Honokas tongue and throat.
"I wasnt invited. Thus, I dont even know where the eting will take place. Its not that I take no interest in the contents of the eting but if I dont even know the general location, theres no way I can go, right?"
"Thats true."
In place of Honoka who had started blushing quietly, Shizuku nodded in agreent to Miyukis words.
At the sa ti, sothing similar was happening in Class 2-E. "Hmm? Tatsuya-san, why did you co to school?"
"Good morning, Mizuki. To greet
with such a question in the morning."
"Eh, ah, no, about that Im sorry."
It wasnt that Tatsuya particularly felt uncomfortable but for him to say such a thing was natural. Tatsuya had never taken long periods of absence from school, so to be questioned, "Why did you co to school
