"Damn Daichi!...."
Katsuto was a man who never lost his rhythm, every time he faced a choice, he would make the right decision without any sign of hesitation.
Yet! Today, on the day of celebration, he was bested by his "former friend" who had apparently joined some powerful syndicate that had considerable influence within the city, considering that they were able to get through the security checkpoint.
Daichi not only attacked him on the worst possible time but also succeeded in making sure that the Juumonji clan would never forget this humiliation.
'A few of the politicians are dead, the situation between magicians and normal people is already very delicate but after today, it would only contribute to add to the negative image of the magician's community.....'
'Not to mention the backlash that my clan would have to face when the connections of these politicians would retaliate against us.....'
'This will not only affect the family business but would also make it harder for us to forge connections outside the [Magic community]...'
Katsuto turned his head towards the cloaked woman standing near him, her name was Mei of the Saltzman family.
Her body was totally covered within the cloak and the usually large hood made it virtually impossible for anyone to see her face. Mei was Erik's caretaker and was an extremely skilled magician.
When the ceiling had collapsed onto the people within the main hall, Katsuto had to use his magic to protect against the debris, he managed to keep everyone safe using [Phalanx] to create a barrier above their head as the debris seemed to be floating in the air, considering the magic didn't have any colour to it.
After using his magic to hold the collapsed ceiling in place, the cloaked woman suddenly stepped forward and raised her phone-like C.A.D towards the broken debris.
"[Convergence-Type Magic:- Greater Freeze]..."
A rather big magic sequence appeared all around the collapsed ceiling, the temperature within the surrounding started to drastically drop down as ice began forming on the surface of the debris.
Soon enough! The whole ceiling along with the room started to freeze, turning into solid ice. The freezing of the debris caused it to turn into a single thing, making a dome-like area below itself where everyone was protected by Juumonji's magic.
Katsuto was surprised to see the capabilities of Erik's caretaker and thanked her for helping him deal with the rather time-consuming ordeal.
Katsuto had smartly made a hole within the floor using his magic, creating a passage for the people within the ice-dome to escape from, one by one everyone including Katsuto and Mei had also crossed through the passage to the floor below them.
"Where do we go now?....."
A voice filled with agitation rang out as one of the guests to the party asked a question which was on everyone's mind. They wanted nothing more than to escape the building and return back but even so, they didn't do anything you would expect any other person to do.
Unlike normal individuals, every single one of these guests had a rather high-status within society. Knowing full well that annoying Katsuto with questions couldn't be a good decision, so they immediately asked the most concerning question.
'Hmm....it's safe to assume that the enemy has taken over the control room, and could possibly track them down even though the cameras had been damaged by the sudden surge of electricity a few moments ago...'
'The place they are less likely to check is the storage room, especially considering that they themselves have likely positioned a few tens of their men around that area....'
'This is a very good chance to take out a healthy chunk off the strength that the attackers had, and with Mei-san assisting me, it wouldn't be much of a problem.....'
Therefore, Katsuto made up his mind to move towards the storage room, intending to take care of the attackers while Mei protected the guests.
But what no one knew was the fact that the storage area actually didn't have any security, the enemy had thought that in case someone escaped from the main hall, they would not approach the area due to thinking that 'they' were guarding the area.
Meaning that the storage area was actually pretty safe until of course, the attackers decide to attack the place.
"Let's move towards the storage area....."
(Meanwhile)
"Fuck!...."
"What happened!?...."
"Everything was going according to the plan but suddenly the line short-circuited and the entire first squads were slaughtered by an inch deep throwing knife logged into their heads...'
"There are possibly very strong magicians within the main hall who had managed to escape from our siege..."
"Unfortunately I couldn't find any clue pointing towards anyone who might be a powerful magician..."
"Hmm....can you maintain your grip over them? Otherwise, mobilize the second team to deal with them."
"I would probably have to mobilize the second squad, not only do I have to fight Juumonji, but I must also defeat him, so I can't afford any distraction....."
"Send in multiple Magician Killers too, I don't want anyone interfering with my battle against him...."
"Are you sure that you can beat Juumonji Katsuto?..."
"I have waited for so long, about time I kill him and exact my vengeance....."
"Hmm....well as you wish, I am sending the ghost squad to make sure that no one intrudes in your battle, make sure you take care of the politicians, failure is not an option...."
Daichi clenched his fists as he swore to himself.
"Don't worry Rin, soon I will avenge you! They will pay for what they did!...."
(Meanwhile)
"What! The party organised by Juumonji family is under attack!?....."
"Indeed, we need to make sure to get everyone out of there, a lot of individuals with considerable status are locked within the building and if they are hurt, it wouldn't end well for anyone..."
"Contact the special forces and get them to surround the building within revealing their presence to the enemy, find out whatever you can about the attackers and also find a way to enter the building without alarming the enemy...."
"Yes, Major Kazama!....."
'I hope no one is hurt, otherwise, this will evolve into something much more dangerous....'
