Yumi corners Taro and demands answers about his mysterious powers. He has no choice but to reveal the truth.
Shocked but open-minded, Yumi insists she won't tell anyone if Taro explains everything. He tells his unbelievable story.
Though skeptical, Yumi sees Taro means no harm. She promises to keep his secret on one condition - he must help her with student council tasks.
Grudgingly Taro agrees, using magic to speed preparations. Yumi is impressed by his abilities and growing fond of him.
Meanwhile, the tengu scout senses a dark presence watching the school. The samurai have been spying, waiting to strike.
Sure enough, Taro is ambushed after school by two sinister figures - they are the heirs of the Twelve Guardians. A fight ensues!
Just as Taro is overwhelmed, Yumi arrives to assist, demonstrating her own hidden talents. Together they fend off the attackers.
A tense truce is called. It seems the ancient battle is only beginning again in the modern world...
