Yotsuba's miserable state at that time was enough to bring tears to the eyes of even unrelated people present. Her body was covered in wounds, her clothes were tattered, and most heartbreakingly, her eyes were as lifeless as death.

At that time, Yotsuba showed absolutely no desire for life in her eyes.

It is said that Yotsuba Shinya's father, who was the head of Yotsuba at the time, was furious and once asked the Japanese government to launch a war against the Asia-Pacific region.

But that was simply impossible. Rescuing Yotsuba Shinya was also to preserve Japan's leading position in modern magic.

This way, the losses won't be too great. But launching a war would be a completely different matter. Moreover, while Japanese magicians are strong, their small numbers are a constraint on their national strength.

The odds of losing a war against a coalition of Asia-Pacific states are far greater than the odds of winning, so it is simply impossible to wage war against such a coalition.

After receiving the news, Yotsuba Genzo didn't make a scene and calmly accepted the fact.

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, news broke the next day that the Yotsuba family magicians had all disappeared.

Then, half a month later, the YD Cult of the Asia-Pacific Union announced its demise, and all but half of the remaining Four Leaf Family magicians returned.

Despite the heavy losses suffered by the Yotsuba family in this operation, Yotsuba's act of confronting a nation's state religion with the strength of an entire clan has become a taboo in the Japanese magical world.

"And with the miracle of you, Young Master Guangxuan, already happening, perhaps the Yotsuba family has found the method to create the perfect adjustment body!"

"After all, the Yotsuba family has been conducting research on body adjustments since that incident to enhance their combat power," Ken Kuki added expressionlessly after a moment's thought.

@神圈讨魔 @yip29 @原初太陽Thank you to the three of you for the donations.

I am still very grateful to all the readers who voted for me with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets.

My click-through rate is always low. Is it because my bio is poorly written?

The revenue-to-discount ratio is still acceptable.

Could you guys help me come up with a brief introduction? I'll see if I can request some revisions.

Finally, I still need your votes and attention.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Just do as you see fit.

"I told you I was an exception!"

Of course, Kushima Mitsunori didn't actually say those words out loud.

"Compared to Shiba Miyuki, I think Shiba Tatsuya is more worthy of attention." Kushima Retsu pointed at Shiba Tatsuya with his finger.

"Yes, Grandpa, I also think that Shiba Tatsu has a lot of problems."

"He is clearly very capable, but he is always unwilling to show it."

"Given the nature of young people, even if they don't like to show off, they shouldn't always belittle themselves. I always get the feeling that Shiba Tatsuya is hiding something."

Kushima Kōhō nodded in agreement, showing his strong support for Kushima Retsu's idea.

"You told me you fought with Shiba Tatsu yesterday. What was it like?"

"I didn't have any particularly special feeling, but I could tell that he had a lot of combat experience and probably did a lot of real combat!"

Mitsunobu Kushima thought for a moment and continued, "However, according to his sister, he learned all his fighting techniques from Master Kujue."

"That is indeed what he said."

"However, I also discovered something else, Ken."

After receiving the order, Kuki Ken immediately pulled up another document and sent it up.

"His other name is Great Black Dragon."

"Serving as a special lieutenant in the Independent Magic Armor Battalion of the 101st Brigade of the National Defense Army."

"That's all we can find out at this stage. We haven't fully investigated his military service history."

Kuki Ken said with a hint of regret.

Kushima Mitsunori waved his hands repeatedly, "Please don't say that. It's already amazing that Grandpa Kuki was able to investigate so much in such a short time."

"Besides, I haven't had any direct conflict with the Shiba siblings yet, so there's no need to rush."

Kushima Mitsunori's words were indeed heartfelt. In just one afternoon, he was able to investigate and uncover almost everything about the Shiba siblings. It's normal that the military couldn't find anything out about Kuki Ken.

The document also stated that Shiba Tatsuya's level of protection from the military was S-level.

Although the Kushima family wields considerable influence within the military, they are not at the level where they can easily access S-rank documents.

"Then how should I treat the Shiba siblings from now on, Grandpa?!"

The fact that the Shiba siblings were hiding their true situation was enough to show what the Yotsuba family was plotting. In addition, he also knew that his grandfather had always wanted to weaken the Yotsuba family's strength in order to balance the relationship between the ten clans.

Therefore, he wanted to know from Kushima Retsu what he thought about the Shiba siblings so that he could decide his attitude towards them.

Well!

Kushima Retsu tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, the sound of his fingers hitting the wooden board making a crisp sound.

"Guangxuan, just treat them according to your own ideas."

"If you think they are worth befriending, then you can befriend them."

"Don't worry too much about what we adults think."

Kushima Retsu smiled kindly. His grandson was excellent and intelligent, even though he was a magician and the next head of the Kushima family.

He still hopes that his grandson can have a wonderful high school life before taking on these unavoidable problems.

A helpless smile tugged at the corners of Kushima Mitsuyuki's lips. It was Kushima Retsu's meticulous care that gradually made him open his heart and accept the fact that Kushima Retsu had become his family.

"I understand, I will think about it carefully."

After shutting down communication with Kushima Retsu, Kushima Mitsunori collapsed onto the sofa. Even he, who had received so much information all at once, found it hard to process.

"We'll see how things go and talk to the siblings. I feel there's a possibility that things can work out between the two of them and the Yotsuba family."

After thinking for a moment, Kushima Mitsunori made his decision.

"Of course, the details of the negotiations will have to wait until Grandpa has gathered more specific information."

The days of doing nothing didn't last long. Today, Mitsuaki Kushima heard something very interesting in the classroom, so interesting that even he now wished he could use speed magic to go directly to the student council room to find out the truth.

Although he also felt that the truth of the matter should not match the rumors.

"Ah! They're all here!"

As soon as Kushima Mitsunori entered the room, he found Shiba Tatsuya sitting at the back, walked directly behind him, and slapped Shiba Tatsuya on the shoulder.

"Tatsuya-kun, I heard you flirted with Mibu-senpai, a second-year student?"

Kushima Mitsunori naturally knew Mibu Sayaka, since he had been an observer during the joint trial of the three school giants. Although he hadn't seen what Mibu Sayaka looked like directly at the time, he had seen her photos through the materials.

However, Shiba Tatsuya had not yet been able to explain Kushima Mitsunori's ramblings.

The surrounding temperature was dropping at a visible rate, and the snow-white frost was spreading little by little. Wherever the icy mist reached, a thin layer of frost covered everything, except for a small area around the angry girl that remained unchanged.

"So, when my brother said he was going to talk to Mibu-senpai about something, he was actually going to flirt with her!"

Shiba Miyuki's voice grew lower and lower, and Kushima Mitsunori even felt that her cold tone was more powerful than her interference in matters.

"Calm down, Miyuki..."

Tatsuya Shiba hurriedly explained to Miyuki Shiba, "I'll explain it to you clearly, please listen to me now!"

Shiba Miyuki also heard Shiba Tatsuya's words and snapped out of her uncontrollable jealousy.

"I wonder if I can still eat food that's been alternating between hot and cold."

Kushima Mitsunori glanced at his lunchbox on the dining table, feeling a little regretful.

"Mitsunori, I was so rude just now. How about I buy you a new meal?" Shiba Miyuki noticed Kushima Mitsunori's gaze and quickly apologized.

"No, no, no! None of that matters."

"The important thing is how Tatsuya explains to us how he flirted with Mibu-senpai."

Kushima Mitsunori looked at Shiba Tatsuya with a mischievous grin and nudged him with his elbow, signaling him to answer quickly.

"Yes! I hope my brother can explain this properly!"

Shiba Miyuki's words were devoid of any warmth, as cold and biting as the February wind.

"I already said, it's impossible for that to be true!" Shiba Tatsuya looked helpless.

"Really? But I heard from my classmates that Mibu-senpai ran out of the cafe with her face completely red!"

"I really want to know what Tatsuya-kun said that made Senpai blush so much."

Kushima Mitsunori clearly didn't want to let the topic end so easily, as it was one of his little hobbies.

Please vote for me! Please give me lots of recommendation votes!

A humble author prays online.

I've been thinking of asking everyone for help. If anyone has a detailed understanding of Shiba Tatsuya's [Decomposition], [Flash Memory Calculation], and [Eye of the Spirit], please type it in the comments. I didn't fully understand it after reading the original work myself.

I'd also appreciate any good suggestions regarding the protagonist's magic.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Perhaps they bear some responsibility!

"ha----"

Shiba Tatsuya clearly felt that he was sighing more and more often lately, and he even felt that he was starting to feel mentally exhausted.

Even so, he didn't have many emotions in his heart, only absolute rationality.

"It's just that Senior Mibu wanted to discuss with me the issue of treatment for first-year and second-year students."

"So that's how it is!"

Mayumi Nanagusa wore an expression that said, "I knew it."

"My senior, Mibu, also raised the issue with me about the disciplinary committee members arbitrarily enforcing the law in an attempt to boost their performance."

As soon as Shiba Tatsuya finished speaking, the faces of the student council members and Watanabe Mari immediately darkened. If the disciplinary committee members were to act arbitrarily, it would be a disgrace to the school, and it would also be a failure of their job due to their poor judgment of people.

If not, then that would be troublesome.
