Chapter 8: Chapter 8 – Bloody Fall of Dahan (3)

"You know, every here and there, there would be some events that would be remembered forever. Everyone would remember what they were doing the moment the event happened. It was the same when they announced the attack on Dahan by Yotsuba Clan together with National Defense Forces, with Juumonji Clan attacking Taipei Island and Ichijō Clan attacking Jeju Island. I was currently home after an entire day of work. And then it came in the news... that several military bases in Dahan have been bombed by new experimental Magic. On the first day, they reported thousands of dead soldiers that were killed. Second, after that, they told that several prominent High Ranking Generals of Dahan were assassinated by a Magician nicknamed Magus Killer Emiya Kiritsugu, one of the youngest Strategic-Class Magicians, fianceé of Yotsuba Maya. Immediately third news came that both Taipei and Jeju had fallen into the hands of the Juumonji Clan, Ichijō Clan, and National Defense Forces. With zero costs of life at our side. That day stayed in my memory as a day of Promised Victory."

"Hey, Kiritsugu, what exactly is Project: High Table? I have seen some files on your table with that label."

Asked Maya curiously as she looked at her boyfriend.

"Something that my grandfather started with my father but never got the chance to finish. It was a very ambitious project. Both of them saw World War III as an immense opportunity to create something akin to the government of the criminal underworld. In war, most of the criminal organizations and families perished already, creating a huge power vacuum in the criminal world. Ojii-sama came up with an idea to unify what was left from it, and after the war ended, they would control the entire criminal world."

Explained Kiritsugu to Maya, who was shocked to hear this, though it was undeniable that the opportunities would be immense if someone succeeded.

In Japan, Yakuza was already destroyed, and their place was taken over by Yotsuba, as they didn't mind shady dealings.

"Not only money you could make, but the most important information-gathering abilities. Crime is everywhere, and you could use it to your advantage to spy different ways on enemy nations." Remarked Maya as she thought about it.

"Ojii-sama died during the conflict with one of the enemies that were opposed to the establishment of High Table, and Father was killed by assassins. Now I have the power of Yotsuba on my side, and I would have a much easier time establishing the High Table."

Told Kiritsugu shortly.

"How would that system work?"

Asked Maya curiously.

"Entire organization would be controlled by 12 people who will hold the 12 seats of the High Table. However, the seats wouldn't be actually under their control but rather controlled by their families behind them. The family will elect a person or send someone who will hold the seat; basically, you could think about it as a family representative. Then there is The Adjudicator, who will act as the main agent of the High Table and will have the authority to adjudge and harm anyone, even the Table members themselves, that dare to challenge the Table, an Enforcer if you will. The Adjudicator will be at least weaker Strategic-Order Magician."

Explained Kiritsugu briefly. He admitted that his predecessors did good work creating this system.

"You should discuss it with Otou-sama."

"Hey, Kiritsugu, when will you complete your Strategic-Class Magic and become a full-fledged Strategic-Order Magician." Asked Maya.

"Soon. Time Collapse would soon cross Incomplete Strategic-Order, and become full-fledged Strategic-Order Magic. Have you ever wondered why only a small number of Strategic-Order Magicians are known to the public?"

Asked Kiritsugu his own question. He was Born-Specialized Magician with innate Magic called Innate Time. Currently, Time Collapse was his only Magic that was nearing Strategic-Order. If Time Collapse reached Strategic-Order, he could basically collapse the time expectancy of psions in a certain area, causing either a huge explosion from the fast collapse of psions or creating an area of an anti-magic domain where a person can't use Magic if he collapsed psions slowly.

"Not much."

"There are many Strategic-Order Magicians in the world. Most of them are called Strategic-Order because of their huge ability to cast Magic, psion reserves, and mastery over spells. Their combat power far outshines that of Tactical-Order Magicians. Though only a few of them have Strategic-Order Magic, which is capable of wide-scale destruction. There is a distinction between them; because of that, those with Strategic-Order Magic are also called Destroyers. Also, some of them have Incomplete Strategic-Order Magic, meaning the scale of destruction isn't comparable to one but is higher than Tactical-Order. The last group is a most dangerous one; they are unregistered ones, a Destroyer Strategic-Order magician, that is completely unknown, most terrifying ones, as usual, they are far stronger than their publicly known counterparts."

Remarked Kiritsugu.

"I will train hard also to reach Strategic-Order Magician. I can't leave my future husband also in the endless power struggle."

Giggled Maya as she hugged her boyfriend, as they watched the shining moon.

Somewhere in Japan

"Patriarch, I bring you a report. Yotsuba Clan, in cooperation with National Defense Force, Juumonju Clan, and Ichijo Clan, are launching a mass-scale invasion. With Yotsubas are going to solely attack Dahan."

"Hmm... who would have thought Dahan would grow so bold. My student was lucky that she was saved by Magus Killer, who, by words of Grim Reaper, would marry her. Yotsuba is growing too powerful; if they plan this well, they would rise too quickly and outshine all other Ten Master Clans together. If they win with minimal losses, the balance would be broken... hmm... it would be good to change to approach strategy."

"..."

"Hmm, a child born between Maya and Magus Killer would be someone very special. There is always a way for a good arranged marriage. That way, Kudou Family could benefit from the power of Yotsuba. If they succeed... start immediately working on that thing Genzou send, this is our best chance to change it."
