Spoiler for Part 2 of 3:

Time skip to Clubs Week. Azusa hoped this year would be peaceful, and her hopes are dashed by Friday April 13th.

After school, Tatsuya and Miyuki stayed to help out. With their skills nobody can protest them performing as a team to go out and solve problems, even if they’re both vice-presidents of the student council. Hattori seems to have things well in head as the new Clubs leader – despite being less charismatic than Juumonji he had the foresight to establish patrols from within club members, ending up with a force of personnel larger than the committee or the council. One of the 3rd year girls patrols cam back and reported the kendo club is about to start their performance, and Kirihara remarked the boxing club stuck to their schedule. Tatsuya asked isn’t Kirihara going to go watch, he spends most of his time at the kendo club back in March anyway. Kirihara then found out when Tatsuya was still part of the committee Tatsuya came to observe a few times, and he never noticed as Tatsuya was too good at sneaking. Kirihara was at first frightened and wary of Tatsuya’s actions, than gave up even on that as Tatsuya was too much of a monster for this capability to be a surprise, plus Tatsuya didn’t care about him. Their discussion was interrupted by a message saying the mechanics club have some problems, and the Shiba siblings were requested by Hattori to go out and solve this.

It turns out it’s a dispute between the Bikes club and mechanics club (the former revolves on rebuilding and upgrading two-wheeled machines while the latter is a bit more generalized. The two used to be the same club before it split. The two have budget differences and does not play well with each other). The two sides, mostly 2nd & 3rd year girls, are fighting over Kent Smith, the new shota student (the one in awe of Tatsuya’s mechanic skills that was introduced in the previous Mahouka Double Seven magazine update) with platinum hair, silver eyes and pale skin. Both sides wanted to recruit him as a mascot of sorts. Things are boiling to a disaster when the Clubs patrol group arrived, a 2nd student with Shippou tagging along learning the ropes. While Shippou had people attention declaring the patrol has arrived Smith snuck off. Miyuki shot a fascinated look at Tatsuya that for once she meets someone new the focus wasn’t on her but on Tatsuya (who deserved the recognition more), and he ignored that look. It turns out Smith had originally only planned to come have a look, then was approached from behind by some group or another and then things escalated with clubs fighting over to recruit him. In the middle of this Kasumi arrived declaring herself to be a committee member to take care of things. Kasumi and Shippou then got into an argument to the point their enmity overrode the previous one between clubs, and was about to deteriorate into a magical duel; both Shippou and Kasumi were allowed to wield CADs due to their position. Smith was told to escape by Tatsuya as the focus was no longer on him. Shippou’s sempai from the clubs tried to intervene between the brewing fight, but didn’t have the charisma to defuse the situation. Ultimately Miyuki had to step in and break things up, saying the student council will settle this incident, not the committee or the clubs patrol, and report it themselves. Tatsuya added nobody will be punished for this incident, and the two clubs went their own way quietly. The Shiba siblings went back to base after this, with the only ones left Shippou, Kasumi, and Shippou’s sempai looking at them leaving.

Spoiler for Part 3 of 3:

That evening, Kasumi complained to Izumi about Shippou’s behaviour, that despite only being a Shippou he’s being all high and might towards one of the Saegusa. Izumi wondered if Shippou Takuma’s grudge was a personal one and not the result of Shippou family’s position – the current Shippou head of family is a soft-spoken man and isn’t prone to conflict.

Meanwhile Koichi, the current Saegusa family head, is having the actress Mari over as a guest. Mayumi led Maki to Koichi, and wondered why was someone from the entertainment industry contacting one of the Ten Clans.

The Saegusa Twins took their thoughts to Mayumi after she finished dealing with Maki, asking her what does she think about the current Shippou family head. Mayumi figured out the twins would only be asking this if they got into some trouble with Takuma, and confronted them about this. Kasumi didn’t manage to even attempt to fake nothing happened with Mayumi’s sharp instincts. Before Mayumi could start lecturing the twins Izumi said it’s not Kasumi’s fault, and Mayumi decided to trust them for now. Mayumi confirmed the current Shippou family head isn’t a confrontational one, so it’s purely a personal issue by Takuma. The twins then started theorizing why would he do this, discarding theories like he has some personal magical skill to rival the Ten Clans members to there’s some other backer behind his actions. Mayumi told the twins they’re thinking too much into this, but they’re not convinced.

Maki proposed a deal to Koichi, asking him to not intervene when her father break the pact between the mages and the anti-magic faction. Koichi agreed eventually, on the condition whatever her side is doing they leave the Saegusa-affiliated mages out of it.

After Maki left, Koichi contacted Kudou with a visual call. He calls Kudou by ‘sensei’ rather than Kudou’s other titles, a habit from back when he was Kudou’s student with Yotsuba Maya and Miya. Koichi told Kudou he had just received one of USNA’s agents who’s part of their plot to subvert the Japanese media to use as leverage against the Japanese mages. Kudou remarked Koichi would have known all this before today, he has his own sources. Koichi revealed he plans to use the USNA to weaken the Yotsuba, that particular Clan has become too powerful, far superior to the rest of the Ten Clans and can dictate the fate of their nation if they wished to. Kudou has similar sentiments to Koichi, but said nothing outwardly since both side knew this already. Koichi plans to reveal the existence of the student who’s in 1st High and is part of the 101st Battalion, the media and the human rights focused politicians will eat this reveal right up. Koichi also waved aside Kudou’s remark Koichi’s daughters currently attending 1st high will be affected by this, Koichi thinks in this case the other students will only be seen as victims. Kudou commented Koichi is probably doing this mainly because 1st High’s Principal holds a neutral position and refuses to take sides in the politics within the Ten Clans – basically, the principal had refused to ally himself to the Saegusa. Koichi denied the importance of that particular tidbit, saying his main focus is weakening the Yotsuba, and this attack on 1st High is because the 101st Battalion is close to the Yotsuba. Koichi thinks attacks on 1st High students by anti-magic factions are within acceptable losses, and it’ll serve to twist public opinion against the anti-magic faction, which is a boon for the Ten Clans (in his POV). Kudou said he does not hold the authority to approve of Koichi’s plans, nor had he ever had that authority. Koichi replied authority aside, Kudou still has the influence over the plan if he wished to intervene. Kudou in the end declared he does not disapprove of Koichi’s plans, which Koichi then thanked Kudou and closed the conversation with satisfaction.

Before the screen has turned off, Kudou’s face looked like a weary old man fitting his real age.

Spoiler for Reply that contains spoilers:

Somehow, as much as I dislike the Yotsuba, I don't want this Koichi guy's plans to go smoothly. Especially considering Tatsuya's life is going to head straight to hell within minutes of the reveal of his identity as a mage in the 101st battalion.

[willx]

OH MY GOD! Part 3 is ridiculous! Things are getting "serious yo!"

[FRS]

Thanks for the summary Flere821

Spoiler:

wonder if Mayumi will go against her Father in this arc.

Before the screen has turned off, Kudou’s face looked like a weary old man fitting his real age.

Considering the plans:

a. Takumi Shippou (poor bastart) its a puppet used by USNA to weaken Japan Magic Community due their strength shows on Scorched Halloween, plus the existence of unknown identity of an Strategic Class Magician which its ranked higher than Mio and others of the same class, I will add Tats its really a World Balance Breaker type.

b. Could be Mayumi notice this plans an have to decide which side go??, follow her Dad or protect Tats, off course this will implies she will realize or knows from her father info Tats/Miyuki are Yotsuba, cuz her dad ready knows (Romeo & Juliet smell).

c. I think Maya will know, her Intel its Mossad type (We already saw this several times, despite are few, they are frightening efficient, no mercy, highly well connected).

d. Kudou gloom face its cuz he understand this could be the starting spark of an Civil War, not clear if will be doing something cuz Kyoko or Kokonoe, either choice have to be really silk management due Saegusa and Yotsuba power.

e. Its not clear Koichi pretension, I don't think an public exposure will be undermining Yotsuba position in Japan Society, even if the worse come, they just will say Tats/Miyuki secrecy its for protection due Maya past, Tats link to 101th its cuz is an highly secret Special Ops Team, involving Magicians from different comes, like ancient magic, 9th Clan and others and the last should be they Protecting Tats cuz he is the 2nd Japan Strategic Class Magic, which will drive to the fact he is Makeishura for the Asian Alliance; After all, I think this will go with a Conference between Maya, head of 4th Clan Yotsuba and Koichi, head of the 7th Clan Saegusa and Retsu, head of the 9th Clan Kodou as mediator, with the rest of the top echelons of the 10th Clans supporting "peace" talks.
Anyway: as its seen its small space for 2 tigers or more better say: a 4th Clan Dragon and a 7th Clan Tiger.

EDIT: I really hope when the time comes, someone will translate this SS releases cuz I think its hook to the 11th or 12 Volume, its not weird think 11 Vol will be SS collection with D7 inclusion and Vol 12 we will see the new arc as the insiders of 10th Clans conference and members struggling for power and avoiding direct clash, plus the World (specially USNA, Asian Alliance) trying to weaken Japan power as Nation.

So Koichi basic plans including let allow anti magic factions (like Blanche??) attack 1st High and blame cuz Tats presence as 101th Battalion member and Miya Yotsuba son.

[bludvein]

Wow, Mayumi's father is a bit of a bastard.

Spoiler for ...:

If im reading that right, he is basically talking about sacrificing students for public opinion and weakening a rival. Can't help but hope it comes back to bite him in the ass.

Though outing Tatsuya may have some positive effects. The whole laying low has just about run its course imo.

I'm kind of under the impression that everyone in the ten families is like that. Ofcourse we've only seen two of the leaders but this seems like the aspect of the current system that Tatsuya wants to change.

[babbo3d]

What he is doing basically constitute as treason is like someone leaking there countries nuclear codes.

[nacer666]

I think this plan will explode in koichi's face and take his remaining eye.He is really asking for it this time.

Spoiler for ...:

This would actually be a good things for Tatsuya. He has very similar plans but always lacked a means to do it. This would possibly give him the means and allies to do so.

[willx]

Well, I was waiting for this series to take a darker and more serious note -- so here it comes then I suppose! I can't wait to see what happens.. I can imagine this accomplishing what Tatsuya desires, but also the resulting conflict will hurt Miyuki, which will make Tatsuya kill Koichi. This will in turn hurt Mayumi and create a real rift -- vengeance begets .. REVENGEANCE!!! :lol:

[blackwhite67]

So let me get this straight.

Maki is a USNA agent who plans to use the Japanese media as a means of weakening Japanese mages.

She also plans to use anti-magic factions to attack First High.

Koichi plans to use this plot to reveal Tatsuya's identity and throw him into the jaws of the media.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

that's mostly correct.

[blackwhite67]

Then I can say this as a fact. This whole sham is gonna fail. Why? Because we all know deep inside that the author plans to see Tatsuya through high school without his identity being made public. However, Izumi and Kasumi will probably find out in all the commotion and that's where the fun will start.

BTW, why was it a bad idea for Minami to join the Student Council?

[nacer666]

I don't think koichi's little plan will go undetected.Tatsuya's allies are everywhere:Raymond clark(i think the intel brought by shizuku concerns the matter in hand),101,THE YOTSUBA,Lina...

[NeutralZero]

It will really be bad if Tatsuya's identity is revealed...
By doing so would increase the possibility that his other secrets to be unfold...
And what is that koichi doing?
It may have weaken the Youtsuba but it will surely have a much greater effect to all mage namely the ten master clan...

[henzaeroz]

so koichi doesn't know the fact that tatsuya is a War Class Magician that doing Nuclear in the past event ?


maybe he just doesn't know the impact of revealing tats identity.

101 batalion >>>> Yotsuba >>> Nuclear Warhead

Plus Yotsuba new USNA agent "friend", I think the same, my wondering are how they will manage without freaking out Saegusa or yhe rest 9 Master Clans, cuz as seen 7th Clan taking "preventive" actions due Yotsuba ready above by far the rest 9 Master Clans Conference together, if Yotsuba will like to do, to better understand: its different Politically speaking drive "preventive" attacks than reacting attacks, other Clans could feel unhappy and uneasy with Yotsuba overwhelming power, but they usually don't interfere or plotting to get Political stance (decide Japan Government actions and management like some sort of Imperial Clan) over the usual they ready have, Koichi point its the 101st Battalion and Tats being there, so far its not clear if Koichi ready knows about Tats being Strategic Class Magician, but his basis its: Tats being Yotsuba Main Family and first born son of Miya, even if his Clan outcast him cuz not being "real" Magician, but under everyone outside eyes he is First born male child of the Main Family and brother of could be next Heir of the most Power full House of the 10th Master Clans, lets say his Political stand are really high and member of 101th Special Ops Army Battalion.

Easy example: take what Bush did to Iraq and named say "Preventive attack" as base idea what Koichi trying to do, if Yotsuba react with brute force could give reasons of being right to Koichi, but if take the blown with no retaliation could seen as weak, which lead to others which have ill intentions over Yotsuba to attack them.

According Retsu and Koichi talk, 4th Clan ready have power to go against Magic Association with chances of wining.

So Koichi basic plans including let allow anti magic factions (like Blanche??) attack 1st High and blame cuz Tats presence as 101th Battalion member and Miya Yotsuba son.

You're right chimurry, Yotsuba can make use of the fact that Strategic class magician that can blow up and destroy anything to strenghten their position, they can say they have an all rounder Strategic class, not like that strategic class from 5th family that only work on water.

Plus Yotsuba new USNA agent "friend", I think the same, my wondering are how they will manage without freaking out Saegusa or others 10th Master Clans, cuz as seen they taking "preventive" actions due Yotsuba ready above by far the rest 9 Master Clans together, if Yotsuba will like to do, to better understand: its different Politically speaking drive "preventive" attacks than reacting attacks, other Clans could feel unhappy and uneasy with Yotsuba overwhelming power, but they usually don't interfere or plotting to get Political stance (decide Japan Government actions and management like some sort of Imperial Clan) over the usual they ready have, Koichi point its the 101st Battalion and Tats being there, so far its not clear if Koichi ready knows about Tats being Strategic Class Magician, but his basis its: Tats being Yotsuba Main Family and first born son of Miya, even if his Clan outcast him cuz not being "real" Magician, but under everyone outside eyes he is First born male child of the Main Family and brother of could be next Heir of the most Power full House of the 10th Master Clans, lets say his Political stand are really high and member of 101th Special Ops Army Battalion.

Ther's still third option, that's to not attack with full force, but to still attack. If yotsuba's are as powerfull as you say, they should be able to control their power. Like in martial arts, someone with black belt can defeat someone with lover belt without causing them too much damage, they control their strenght, they show it but don't hurt anyone. So Youtsuba should be able to do the same.

[Jirachier]

Um so if I understood the plan correctly the head of the saegusa wants to reveal Tatsuya's identity as a member of the 101 bataillon so that anti-magic people attack First High and kill him and that way weaken the Yotsuba and also get everyone to hate the anti-magic faction ?

I don't understand why the anti-magic faction will just suddenly decide to attack first high and kill tatsuya just because they know he is part of the 101, i mean the world is filled with publicly known world-class magicians who don't get attacked just for the heck of it.
And I wonder if he really knows the full story about tatsuya(disintegration/regeneration magic, Strategic-Class Magic, the world foremost magic engineer) because if he does then isn't it kind of stupid to go kill such a precious asset, personnality i would try to get him on my side first especially if i knew the full story and his "possible" hatred for the Yotsuba and second I won't be just weaking the Yotsuba but the entire country since it will lose one of its only 2 strategic class magicians(and let's be honest, he's more useful than the other one since he can actually hit targets in the air and he isn't in a wheelchair so he is easier to move AND he doesn't have a weak body+younger so i guess higher life expectancy=longer period of having him as a strategic class) not to mention that if he does know all about Tatsuya he should know better than to rely on the anti-magic faction to kill one of the strongest magicians there is(I can understand a few regular magicians being within it but i'm pretty sure no one is there who is truly broken exists, that would be weird)

No, he just wants them to expose Tatsuya.

Deja vu, anyone? First part of a new school year and another attack by an anti-magic faction.

In any case, Koichi's plan to expose Tatsuya all rides on the assault of the anti-magic faction being able to force him to use his abilities in public before many witnesses. So if Tatsuya can put down the attack without using his abilities, then Koichi's screwed since he allowed an attack by an anti-magic faction on civilians and students. He would also get into trouble with the government for attempting to expose their unregistered Strategic-class asset.

Koichi is likely unaware that Tatsuya is the unregistered Strategic-class magician that nuked China. He is also most definitely unaware that Tatsuya possesses Elemental Sight, which will prove useful in foreseeing any surprise attacks and allow him to get into a more favorable position.
