3 days later. . .
Ryker and Kiyoshi meet up at the Universities bell tower to discuss the current emergency.
Kiyoshi: Yo Ryker, did you find anything new?
Ryker: Not yet, I've been looking through the library for anything about the Dukes. I did find something weird though.
Kiyoshi: Well stop milking the suspense and spit it out.
Ryker: I found a book written by the first Mage Master to appear on Earth but when I opened it the book slammed shut and damn near broke my wrist.
Kiyoshi: Really, that's pretty strange. What was the book's title?
Ryker: Forbidden Spirits
Kiyoshi: Well I'd say the title is a pretty big red flag.
Ryker: Another thing, When the book slammed I swear the cover changed languages.
Kiyoshi: To what language?
Ryker: I'm not sure, but it did look pretty similar to Demon language.
Kiyoshi: Have you talked to Yasu about it yet?
Ryker: Why'd you even bother asking me that?
Kiyoshi: Right, sorry for asking.
Ryker: I know he'll listen to you and if the Leviathan attacks again we will need his help no matter what.
Kiyoshi: Agreed.
Ryker: We'll need you too, you were the only person who could contest Malice at all, hell you almost beat him.
Kiyoshi: That wasn't all me, I had a lot of environmental advantages.
Ryker: What does that mean?
Kiyoshi: We were in a highly populated area with a ton of power lines, also my sister was sending me some mana throughout the first half of the battle as well.
Ryker: Makes sense I guess, So we just need to evacuate an area near the main power plant then.
Kiyoshi: And blow up half the city? Do you even know how my Intervention works?
Ryker: Shockin stuff and spiky hair. That's about all I know.
Kiyoshi: This might take a minute so prepare yourself
Ryker Prepares himself for the only lecture he would ever listen at any point in his life up till now including school*.
Kiyoshi: It's true that I can activate my EMP Intervention on command, it is also true that the stronger I am the stronger it becomes.
Ryker: What does it do though?
Kiyoshi: Be patient. When EMP is activated all technology around degrades in quality quite severely, also when it's active I am immune to most Lightning attacks that are weaker than my current maximum.
Ryker: Huh? Wanna run that last part by me again.
Kiyoshi: Say if you threw a lightning attack at me right now, it would do absolutely nothing to me, I would simply deflect it or absorb it to charge my next attack. But if you punched me with a lightning infused attack, I would absorb the lightning aspect but the impact of the punch would still have effect. This goes for larger scale Lightning attacks, The shock won't harm me at all unless it's stronger than my full power but the impact force of the attack would still have an effect.
Ryker: That's pretty strong if you ask me.
Kiyoshi: I'm gonna call Yasu and Yurie, they should come here and join us after they finish Wind class.
Ryker: Wind class, why would Yasu take Wind magic?
Kiyoshi: He wouldn't tell me, it caught me off guard too.
Several minutes later after Kiyoshi called the two up to the tower Yurie arrived with a strange book.
Ryker: What's that?
Yurie: Not even a greeting, Hmpf so shameless.
Ryker: What?
Yurie: Ignore that. This here is a book for Advanced Earth magic.
Ryker: No way seriously, when did you advance.
Yurie: Yesterday. When did you start caring about the first sage.
Kiyoshi: caught in 4k
Ryker: I'm sure you're aware of what happened with the Leviathan a month ago.
Yurie: I was present yes.
Ryker: Good, well Kiyoshi and I are sure that he may try that stunt again.
Yurie: Well wasn't Kiyoshi pretty much equal to him? I'm sure with all of us together we could easily beat him.
Thinking back to that day Kiyoshi remembers what the leviathan said.
Kiyoshi: That won't work.
Ryker: There's now way it'll be that easy with a Leviathan.
Yurie: Why not?
Kiyoshi: Malice told me during our fight that if he had waited another week he would have gained back a ton of the power he had before being sealed.
Yurie: How much power are we talking about?
Kiyoshi: At least double what he had that day.
Yurie: What! That's ridiculous! Don't you think he might be bluffing?.
Ryker: He wasn't. He was growing in power over the course of the fight. If he was bluffing, he wasn't bluffing much.
Yurie: That's insane, H-how would we beat that. It's been a month now, he'd be on a whole other level compared to us.
Ryker: All other elements aside, it's safe to assume he is at least triple his original power level. Effectively putting him towards the Bishop class.
The other two students in the room shudder for a moment, realizing just how desperate the situation they are in really is.
Kiyoshi: Another thing, I was almost twice as strong at the time than I actually am.
Yuri: W-what how?
Kiyoshi tells Yuri what he just told Ryker about his Intervention.
Ryker: Do you have an Intervention Yurie?
Yuri: No. I know Yasu does, but he gets all cranky when we bring it up.
Yasu and Hera arrive.
Yasu: Eh, what's the porcupine doing here?
Kiyoshi: Not necessary, we have a serious problem on our hands, as some of the strongest students in our district we need to figure this out or at least come up with a solution before the Sages and Priests need to get involved.
Ryker: We are on our own right now. The Government had to pull out of our area to deal with something in Japan.
Kiyoshi: Japan? Why there?
Ryker: Something crazy is happening in Japan and since they are one of our closest allies we are currently focusing on aiding them while China and Sefral can't.
Kiyoshi: Whatever it is, it's gotta be serious if they need to withdraw from our area.
