In a darken room only lit by candles...
Figures gathered in the shadows of the room, surrounding a long table. A voice cut through the room, "Keito was defeated then? "
"Yes, in a mere 117 seconds at that." came the answer to the original voice. Three people knelt at one arm of the table which one piece framed by two long arms, while one was standing at the head of the table with papers in front of him.
"As expected of the powers from a vampire, huh? How foolish, Newspaper Club. Do not tell me that they do not remember what happened last year..." the man up held one paper, each containing the student record of a member of the newspaper club. It was the one featuring Gin, which burst into flames when held.
"Also what is it you have to tell about this Tsukune Aono, you mentioned that his transformation into a Youkai was different then is... normal, " contained their leader as the light brightened as the trio was revealed to be two men and a woman dressed in black and white. The man continued as his white glove held the student record of the other male in the paper club, "It looks like I will be able to enjoy a good challenge for a change. So, once again, what have you discovered? "
The trio looked at the long haired blond man before them before the young woman spoke to him, "Aono seemed to need to touch a watch device to change into the Frankenstein creature which was followed by a flash of green light, a similar green flash occurred after the device beeped and blinked red to turn him back into a human. This is not typical of most Youkai transformation, it is also of interest since he did not have the watch until just recently. Which begs the question, if the watch turns him into a monster then what was he before he gained the device? Youkai or... something else, sir? "
The unspoken word was obvious, if not Youkai then he could only be human. This meant the male could be eliminated by the rules of the schools, since not human was allowed on the grounds under threat of death. The leader spoke, "Still it is impossible to prove he is not a monster since he has the device, it could be something like the vampire's Rosario which holds back the true power of the user. We must be able to learn more about the device which Aono is using, either to neutralize it or to turn into to our advantage."
"Advantage, sir? " asked the woman of the trio, confused at the words of her leader.
"The creature from your description was a powerful opponent, a great threat, true enough. Yet if the device is the source of the power, we might be able to transfer it to a more worthy user then Aono. We must be able to keep a close eye on the boy and see the full power of this watch, as well as all of its weaknesses. It not only will aid us in the destruction of the Newspaper Club, but also in whether to seize the device for safety purposes." spoke the leader as he burnt the record of the man in question. He moved his hands together as he tented his forefingers, leaning those fingers against the bottom of his lips.
"This will be tricky since all our members are known, if not by Aono and his friends, then Gin definitely. We need an advantage, a method to gain the information, while revealing nothing of our hand. The Newspaper Club is definitely coming after us after this, their spirits likely raised by the defeat of Keito and her sisters. The main plan still can goes into effect, but it will need to be adjusted for new information. We will also need a new plan to react to the new data on our opponents. I will be entertaining suggestion for effective options for us to take against them." continued the man standing before them, as the trio continued to remain on their knees.
The four leaders of the Public Safety Commission continue their meeting with a brainstorming session. The trio gave their ideas to their leader and the blond answered which were useful or even effective and which were crap. After listening to all the ideas, the leader with his flame touch gave his plan composed of fragments of the suggestions as well as his own input. Ideas which were to be put in action.
In a hidden location at Youkai Academy...
The Chairman was watching events of the last night and the current day, as the Newspaper Club went through some big changes. The second was not as large as the first, but return to battle for the Public Safety Commission and the Newspaper Club was something unexpected given last year's events. This would be leading to major changes in the school system when the waste hit the blades.
"Yet it is not unexpected for the PSC to over step their bonds and cause more trouble then they are worth. I doubt they are prepared for the challenge they were facing when it was just Aono-san's friends they were facing. This new development with the watch device on our human student's wrist, the one with the... unique history should cause more headaches for the commission. Yet there is still going to be problems when it all comes out, since I doubt the boy's transformations will remain hidden with a battle coming up." spoke the main his robes with his upper face hidden from view, enough so his eyes could not be seen.
"Yet it is the things which will come after this device which will be the coming problem. The alien beast who murders entire races would not look twice at our gathering of people before killing all the children at this hallow halls of learning. Demons and monsters from around the world would also want the power of the device for their own purposes, ones which might work against our own goals of Youkai and humans living in harmony. It could also be the means to make the dreams of harmony bursting into a song sung worldwide. The situation requires a careful touch as we look at the near and far future. So the question is what to do? " asked the Chairman of the school as he looked at mirrors showing similar eye-covered figures, the three other Dark Lords who made the school work.
"We send a guardian for the boy, one to aid him and the young ladies beside him. One who can aid with training him to use all his powers. It would also be best for us to make known to him we know the device and state new ground rules for him while on campus. The boy will have to be trained in the use of the power he holds and this will be required for him to change. We merely need a safe place for him to do this. We might be able to use the coming battle to layout a resource for him to use, if we play with the fallout of the event." continued the man before the mirrors, gaining agreement from the two other men.
"You have a guardian chosen for the boy or are you still looking for one? " asked one man in the mirror, as the other maintained silence.
"I believe I have found one which will be useful to us as well as being helpful for the boy. It has to be someone which the boy will accept without fears of betrayal, given the situation with the PSC. One with the power to defend the boy and aid with the training, even if Aono-san's friends will likely be aiding in his training as well. Yet also a subject which would be expected to have close contact with the faculty and myself on a regular schedule. A person it would be unusual to see coming into these offices on a daily timetable, perhaps even arriving every few hours during a crisis."
"Step forward my dear and say hello to the other leaders of the school. This is the guide and protector of young Tsukune Aono, the one to aid the ladies in the safety of our human student. This will be part of the debt she is willing to pay off for my aid in her time of need, and yet I do not think this is the only reason she is willing to do this." continued the Chairman as he could feel the heat of the woman's slight blush from where she stood behind him.
The Chairmen moved to look at the woman before continuing, "I want you to keep watch on Aono-san, but not to act until there is a threat which would require your aid. I have replaced your equipment and added a tools which would be useful in your mission. If necessary, I am willing to let you have access to a cloak of shadows to render invisible. The only fault might be Shirayuki-san since she seems to have a master of the cloaking skills even without magic, she might be able to find you even with the most powerful invisibility spells. Do you accept this mission, my dear? "
"Yes, " came the reply from a young female voice.
