Chapter 1 – Yuuya VS The Transfer Student?

Part 1

“──So that’s Yuuya Tenjou?”

After meeting Yuuya, Yuzuki moved to a quiet hallway and muttered to himself.

“I thought he must be someone special, since my father cares so much about him. But he turned out to be a disappointment.”

Yuzuki’s eyes were cold as he spoke.

This was because the Komyouin clan, Yuzuki’s family, had been secretly fighting creatures known as “supernatural entities” in Japan for generations. [T/N: I changed “strangeness” to “supernatural entity.”]

There were other families that fought supernatural entities, but the Komyouin clan was known as the strongest hunters of supernatural entities in the modern world.

Thanks to organizations like the Komyouin family, the damage caused by these entities was kept to a minimum, and world peace was maintained.

Yuzuki and his fellow exterminators relied on special powers passed down in Japan since ancient times when fighting supernatural entities. These powers included demonic, spiritual, shamanic, and exorcism powers.

To master these powers, Yuzuki and his companions underwent rigorous training from a young age and gained practical experience.

However, Yuzuki’s father, Teruyoshi Komyouin, the current head of the family, showed more interest in Yuuya, a newcomer, than in Yuzuki and his companions.

Naturally, Yuzuki did not find this appealing.

Upon hearing more details, it became clear that, although Yuuya’s family had once been hailed as the strongest clan, they had lost their power and fallen into decline.

Yuuya’s sudden appearance amidst this situation as a figure reminiscent of their ancestors, prompting Teruyoshi to order Yuzuki to make contact with him.

However, Teruyoshi did not fully understand Yuuya’s situation, so he also wanted Yuzuki to assess it during this undercover mission.

If Yuuya really possessed the powerful supernatural abilities of his ancestors, Teruyoshi planned to bring him into the Komyouin family by any means necessary to strengthen their power.

The Komyouin family lacked “demonic power,” but they were strong in “purification power” and “shamanic power.” They believed that if they could bring in Yuuya, who was said to possess the strongest “demonic power,” their position would become even more secure. [T/N: It seems I made a mistake translating Yuuya’s powers on Earth. As it turns out, Yuuya has two powers he inherited from his ancestors: demonic and spiritual. I sincerely apologize for the error.]

But…

“Father said that, but… he seemed no different from any other ordinary person.”

As far as Yuzuki could tell, he could not detect any demonic or spiritual power from Yuuya.

“Father will be disappointed, but even if Yuuya does have powerful abilities, I can’t imagine someone who has lived a peaceful life being able to fight properly.”

Yuzuki spoke with a hint of contempt for ordinary people.

People from families that operated in the shadows tend to feel superior and look down on ordinary people to varying degrees.

People like Yuzuki were special, and the government sometimes relied on their powers. They had a lot of influence in the public world and held high positions.

“In any case, it’s a waste of time to continue this any further…”

Yuzuki said, but he couldn’t bring himself to drop out of school right away.

This was because Teruyoshi had ordered him to observe for at least a month.

“…Well, fine. Since I’m here, it might be good to show ordinary people the power of someone like me, who has been chosen. Maybe I can inspire him to awaken his own abilities. I suppose I’ll observe him a little longer.”

Yuzuki said this with a smile and returned to his classroom.

Meanwhile, a meeting was being held at Star Production to discuss the upcoming close-up coverage of Yuuya and the others’ trip.

Yuuya and the others were unaware, but a camera crew had been decided to accompany them, just like during the previous sporting event.

“As I told you before, thanks to Kitaraku-kun’s suggestion, we will be able to do a close-up report on Yuuya-kun and the others’ trip.”

The president said this while looking around at the gathered group.

Then, one of her subordinates, Kurosawa, spoke up.

“Coverage like the sports event before?”

“Yes, but we contacted a different magazine this time.”

“I see… What will the purpose of the coverage be this time?”

“Of course, we plan to feature a special section on school idols’ days off. The magazine we contacted has been covering various school idols for some time, and we’ve always wanted to interview Yuuya and the others, so the timing is perfect.”

“I see. But then, what is the purpose of this meeting? We won’t be participating in the interview, will we?”

As Kurosawa had suspected, Star Production did not plan to send anyone to the interview. The discussion ended when the president introduced Kitaraku to the magazine’s editorial department, so a meeting wasn’t necessary.

“As Kurosawa said, none of you need to accompany Yuuya-kun and the others. It’s just a close-up interview on their day off. However, we’ve decided to take this opportunity to reintroduce Ousei Academy. Yes, the new entertainment department that will be established next year.”

“Ah, I see… I understand.”

Kurosawa nodded in agreement after hearing the president’s words.

“School idol activities at Ousei Academy are gradually becoming known, but only in the area around the school. Information about the entertainment department is already out there, but Ousei Academy isn’t the type of school to do a lot of publicity, so it hasn’t really caught on with the general public yet.”

“So that’s why you’re doing this special feature?”

“Yes. In addition to interviewing Yuuya-kun and the others, we’ve been asked to answer questions about the entertainment department. I’d like to review the content with everyone. Also, if possible, I’d like to include the names of the students we plan to send.”

When the president said that, Kurosawa suddenly remembered something.

“Oh, that reminds me… Didn’t ‘she’ say she wanted to apply to be a lecturer in the entertainment department? What happened with that?”

Upon hearing Kurosawa’s words, everyone gathered in the conference room seemed to remember and turned their eyes to the president.

“At first, I thought it was a joke. But she seems to be quite serious. It has been decided that she will be invited as a special lecturer.”

“Oh!”

Upon hearing the president’s words, everyone in the room was surprised.

“I can’t believe she’s actually coming.”

“Come to think of it, Yuuya-kun and that girl are connected somehow. Could it be…?”

Amidst the speculation, the president clapped her hands to gather everyone’s attention again.

“Anyway, let’s discuss how much information to disclose, including the matter of the special lecturer.”

“Yes!”

Thus, the story progressed rapidly in a place where Yuuya and the others weren’t present.

──Somewhere in Japan.

In the darkness, several shadows gathered around a desk.

“So, did the experiment work?”

One of the shadows asked. Another nodded.

“Yes, we’ve got something that works for now. All that’s left is to test it.”

“Hmmm… Then let’s try it out.”

“Are you sure? If we conduct the experiment, there’s a good chance those abnormal beings will notice us.”

“That’s true, but we don’t need to worry about that for now.”

“Why?”

“They’ve only been around for a few years at most. In contrast, we’ve been conducting research for ages. This experiment is one of the results of that research. Therefore, it will take them some time to track us down.”

“Hmm… What about the people behind the scenes? There are still some troublemakers left, including the Komyouin family, aren’t there?”

One of the shadows asked, and another shadow replied.

“The Komyouin family is certainly a troublesome opponent, but the rest are nothing but rabble. Even if they band together, they won’t be a force to be reckoned with in the underworld.”

The shadow’s words sounded optimistic, confident, and sincere.

Therefore, the other shadows immediately agreed with his assessment.

“That’s true. Above all, if this experiment is successful, we’ll be able to destroy the Komyouin family.”

“Yes, then let’s move on to the experiment. Where should we start?”

One shadow asked this, and another replied.

“Well… There are several places suitable for the experiment at the moment. Of those, I recommend this one.”

As he spoke, a map appeared in the center of the shadows, and a red light lit up one spot.

“Is this… a mountain?”

“Yes, it was a battlefield during the Warring States period. Recently, it was turned into a ski resort. Before that, it was a place where climbers died and people came to commit suicide.”

“Hmm… It seems like a place with a strong spiritual presence.”

“Yes, that location should be ideal for the experiment. There’s another abandoned site in this area that we can use.”

Then, another spot on the map lit up red.

“We should be able to gather more data in this area.”

“That sounds good. I’ll leave the experiment to you.”

“Understood.”

As the discussion came to a close, one of the shadows suddenly spoke up.

“Speaking of which… I hear that the Special Organization and the Komyouin family are trying to contact someone.”

“Yes, I’ve heard that, too. However, both organizations are treating this as top secret, so we don’t have any detailed information.”

“What? Are those two organizations controlling information to that extent?”

“Even with our information network, that’s all we learned.”

Many shadows groaned at the unexpected news, but one shadow who had gathered information spoke up.

“The Special Organization has always been on the lookout for talented individuals. But if the Komyouin family is involved, then the person they’re looking for must be important. I wonder who it could be…”

“Hmm… In that case, we’d better gather information on that while continuing with the experiment.”

“That’s right. The Special Organization will be busy with the experiment we are about to conduct. If we strike then, we should be able to obtain some information.”

Once the decision was made, the shadows nodded. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

“It’s decided. Let’s get ready, everyone──”

──In a place unknown to Yuuya, an unknown threat began to stir.
