Alex tells Randy about his findings and they make a plan to expose Randy's 2nd uncle. They don't want to let the person who colludes with a demon get away easily. So they plan to expose him during the meeting.
Soon afterwards, the meeting starts and as they have thought, the 2nd Uncle is the most zealous to get the right to be the family head, replacing his older brother who has been bedridden for a few months.
Some are on his side while some are on Randy's father's side. But those who support Randy's father can't really put up a fight with the other side because it's a fact that Randy's father has been ill for too long and if he doesn't wake up soon, the family will fall.
Though they really don't want the 2nd Uncle to be the next family head. After all, he is well known for his bad personality and selfishness. If he becomes the family head, then they have no doubt that he will only think of himself, not the family as a whole.
"So you think you are the best candidate to replace my father as the family head, huh, uncle?" Randy joins the meeting even though he is still very young because he is the only child of the current family head. Also, his mother is sick, so he is the only one who can represent his father.
"Well, yeah. Who else will take the job? You? A little boy who hasn't even come of age?" The 2nd Uncle asks while smirking and looking down on Randy.
"Well, I wouldn't dare. But you need the family's approval for that, right?"
"What? Do you think they will object?" The 2nd uncle looks at the other members that include his younger siblings. Some surely want to object, but even if they do, they don't have any power compared to him, so it will be useless.
"Well, I surely will object." Suddenly, the door opens and Randy's father enters. He is in a wheelchair, being pushed by his wife because he is still very weak even though he has regained consciousness.
Everyone is surprised to see him and his wife enter the meeting room because they all thought that he was still in a coma and his wife is severely ill.
But they suddenly show up here even though Randy's father is still weak while his wife looks healthy. It's good news for those at their side because this means they don't need to change the family head and follow that asshole.
"Nice to see you, everyone. It has been a long time." Even weakened, Randy's father still has the aura of a great nobleman. His supporters quickly bow and greet him while smiling while the oppositions take a while to do the same.
"It's nice to see you again, 2nd brother." Randy's father greets his 2nd brother with a soft but chilling tone.
Anyway, everyone is surprised, but the most surprised is Randy's 2nd uncle. After all, he was the one who made his older brother 'sick'. He was sure that Randy's father won't recover at all and would die soon, so this is not what he expected.
"What's wrong, 2nd brother? Why do you look so surprised? Are you not happy seeing me?"
"Y-you must be joking, elder brother. Of course, I'm happy."
"Well, I'm happy to see you too. After all, I can't let the culprit who caused me and my wife to fall ill, right?"
Everyone is surprised by what they've just heard. Of course, the 2nd uncle defends himself by saying that his older brother is just joking.
"Well, we can find out whether my accusation is baseless or not when the Magic Council's Mages arrive to check you. They will surely become very happy to find a demon follower. Oh, I can only imagine what they'll do to you, little brother."
The 2nd uncle is very surprised when hearing about the Magic Council. They actually haven't called the Magic Council, but no one knows the truth. They just want to corner the 2nd uncle and it works really well.
Hearing that the Magic Council will come makes the 2nd Uncle panic. He immediately decides to escape using his demonic ring's power. The ring on his left hand glows purple as he raises his left hand, scaring everyone else.
"TCH! I CAN'T BELIEVE I NEED TO DO THIS. YOU SHOULD'VE JUST DIED ALREADY AND GIVE THE FAMILY HEAD SEAT TO ME! NOW BECAUSE OF YOU, EVERYONE HERE NEEDS TO DIE. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU REMOVE THE POISON FROM YOUR BODY, BUT I'M SURE WHOEVER HELPED YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP THE FULL POWER OF THIS RING. I DIDN'T USE ITS FULL POWER ON YOU BECAUSE I WANTED YOU TO SUFFER BEFORE DYING. BUT NOW, I WILL JUST KILL EVERYONE HERE, HAHAHA! BEHOLD, THE TRUE POWER OF THE RING!"
The 2nd uncle raises his left hand that has the ring really high. The ring glows brighter, scaring everyone even more. They want to run away, but it's too late anyway because they are already too close with the caster.
But suddenly, sand rises quickly from the floor beneath the 2nd uncle. It wraps the guy's hand and ring, blocking the magic spell from spreading. The sand that wraps the hand keeps getting thicker and thicker as blue marks appear on the sand to strengthen it.
Everyone looks at where the sand comes from and is surprised to see Randy's arms turn into that of a sand monster's arms. But then Randy suddenly transforms into Alex which confuses those who don't know.
Well, this Randy is Alex from the beginning. He is disguising as Randy so he can fight the 2nd uncle anytime. Alex is glad that he can use Transformation Magic because he is a Take Over Mage that's a type of Transformation Magic. He can't use other magic, after all, so he's glad that the only magic he can use is useful for his job.
"Well, that's easier than I thought."
Alex is quite disappointed that it is solved very easily. But it seems he concludes it too fast because something terrifying happens. The 2nd uncle's body suddenly turns purple, starting from his left hand where the ring is located.
He screams because he feels an unimaginable pain coming from the spreading purple mark. It spreads really fast and in a very short time, the 2nd uncle's whole body turns purple and his eyes become completely white.
The 2nd uncle stops screaming and becomes limp, making everyone think that he's dead. But Alex feels something strange coming from the 2nd uncle's body.
Suddenly, the 2nd uncle's body starts transforming. Some strange parts start appearing on his body and he also gets bigger. Alex has a very bad feeling about this, so he throws the transforming uncle out of the mansion.
"GET OUT OF HERE, NOW! HE US TURNING INTO A DEMON."
Alex yells that before he jumps out of the window to chase the transforming uncle. Everyone is panicking and they quickly run to escape from the mansion. They don't want to get killed by the demon, after all.
Meanwhile, Alex is trying to kill the demon before it fully appears. But can escape from him even though it is still not fully awakened. The half-awakened demon jumps to the rooftop and runs away with a very high speed.
His speed surprises Alex because it's so fast even before being fully awakened. So Alex transforms into his tiger-sized Matatabi form to chase the demon with an even faster speed.
He catches up to the demon near the city's plaza and slaps the demon to the big fountain in the middle of the plaza. Alex feels bad for the people there, but they should be running away now after seeing the big fountain is destroyed by something big.
As he is hoping for, people are running away from the plaza while screaming in fear. Though they run not just because of the attack that destroyed the fountain, but also because they see a 2 Tailed tiger with a body made out of blue & black fire dropping from the sky.
Alex feels hurt that people are scared of him, but at least now there's no one here. He transforms into his humanoid Matatabi form while looking at the destroyed fountain that buries the demon. It will be expensive to repair the fountain, but he can't care about it now.
The demon finally comes out of the rubble by pushing the debris away. It roars like a beast as it shows its form. The demon's body looks like a human with purple spiky scales all over its body, but its face is almost like a snake. It also has a snake's eyes and fangs.
"So this is power. HAHAHA! I AM POWER!" The demon looks ecstatic.
"Oh, nice, I'll take that power soon then." Alex smirks while looking at the demon. He finally will get a good amount of magic power to help him break the seals after a while.
