The two Reigai were shot with tranquilizer guns and immediately fell into a peaceful sleep.
Mizutani and Kazuki Shirata were stunned, unable to understand why these new students had suddenly attacked.
But before they could react, they were taken down with tranquilizer guns just like the two Reigai.
The Onmitsukidō was on a secret mission. To avoid unnecessary commotion and alerting the enemy, they neutralized Mizutani and Shirata as well.
Then, the Onmitsukidō brought all four to Katori Sora's office for inspection.
They carried a reishi detector provided by the 12th Division, which could determine if the four were Reigai.
After his promotion to department head, Sora had his own private office. Bringing the Reigai here for observation would ensure no one disturbed them.
"Vice-Captain Shihōin, these two are Reigai. The other two are just ordinary students. The list is correct," an Onmitsukidō member reported.
"You two stay here and watch them," Yoruichi commanded. "The rest of you, back to the dorms with me."
Yoruichi led four people back to the dormitory. Seeing that the professor wasn't there, she used the same trick, finding a passing upperclassman to chat with while waiting for the professor to bring out the Reigai students.
A moment later, Sora again used the excuse of moving wooden swords to lure out two more Reigai students.
After the Onmitsukidō dealt with these two, Yoruichi returned to the dormitory and saw the professor still at the entrance.
"The remaining two students are new and haven't reported to the Academy yet. We can't use the same method to capture them," Sora said. "I suggest we lie in wait at the Academy entrance."
"We can't be sure when they'll arrive, so let's have people take turns watching," Yoruichi nodded.
Yoruichi had a few of her subordinates take the captured Reigai to the 12th Division to have the anti-leak spells in their brains removed.
The rest of them staked out the Academy entrance for the two Reigai who had yet to report.
An hour later, Oto Mizutani and Kazuki Shirata woke up in the office.
"Professor..." Shirata saw Katori Sora sitting at the desk. He wanted to explain what had happened but found it difficult to speak, as they, being sixth-year students, had been taken down by a group of freshmen.
"We were attacked by that group of new students!" Mizutani said.
"Shirata-kun, you're roommates with Aoki and Oura, right? Can you tell me about them?" Sora asked while flipping through the documents in his hand.
He was reviewing the performance records of the four captured Reigai.
These Reigai had been at the Academy for a while, especially Shirata's two roommates, who were repeating a year. They had been at the Academy for too long, and Sora was worried they might have left some undiscovered hidden dangers.
"Aoki and Oura?" Shirata was slightly taken aback. "Right, they were attacked too..."
"There's a problem with their identities. The people you encountered were the Onmitsukidō, who came to arrest them," Sora explained. "I hope you can keep this a secret. The Onmitsukidō is on a secret mission."
"Those people were the Onmitsukidō!" Shirata and Mizutani were both shocked, but also relieved. Being taken down by the Onmitsukidō wasn't so embarrassing.
"I will keep it a secret!"
"Me too!"
Shirata and Mizutani nodded solemnly. They suddenly felt as if they were participating in an official Shinigami mission.
"Shirata-kun, tell me about Aoki and Oura," Sora said.
"I'm not actually very close to them... No wonder I couldn't fit in. It turns out they had a secret," Shirata mused. "They did almost everything together and were rarely apart. When I was first assigned to this dorm, I tried to get to know them, but they were very cold to me."
"As for Aoki... I do know something," Oto Mizutani said hesitantly. "He's my cousin's boyfriend. My sister Rinko told me that Aoki even agreed to be adopted into her family."
"Adopted into her family?" Sora frowned, pondering the Reigai's motive.
He didn't believe this was just a love story about a Reigai falling for a girl from a minor noble family.
"They're already engaged. The wedding is next New Year," Mizutani nodded. "They were in the same year before, but Rinko-neechan has already graduated. If Professor Katori wants to know more about Aoki, my sister might know more."
"Mizutani-san, could you take me to visit your cousin?" Sora prompted. "Aoki is involved in something very serious. If we don't investigate thoroughly, it could implicate your cousin."
"Of course!" Mizutani nodded repeatedly. "I'll take you there right now, Professor."
...
Sora followed Mizutani to the noble district, where her cousin lived.
The noble district was not far from the commercial street, giving it a feeling of tranquility amidst the bustling city.
Sora rarely came here, but after his several disciples became seated officers and lieutenants in various divisions, many people had come to recognize him. From time to time, people would greet him on the street.
A moment later, Mizutani brought Sora to a mansion that looked quite old.
After knocking and waiting for a moment, a maid in a plain kimono opened the gate.
"Miss Oto, you've brought a guest?" The kimono-clad maid glanced at Katori Sora with a slightly wary look.
"I am an instructor from the Spiritual Arts Academy. I am visiting today to inquire about Rinko-san's squad assignment," Sora said calmly.
Just now, he had felt the 'Voice of Hell' he was carrying being triggered!
He had previously discovered that the 'Voice of Hell' could identify the Hell reishi-containing spell on a Reigai by absorbing it.
After this discovery, he put the 'Voice of Hell' in a pouch and wore it as a scabbard accessory.
This way, he could identify any Reigai that approached him at any time.
Now that the 'Voice of Hell' had been triggered, Sora immediately realized that the maid before him was either a Reigai or someone connected to Hell.
"Miss Rinko's squad assignment?" The maid sized up Katori Sora, her gaze lingering on his instructor's robe. "Please come in."
The maid led Sora and Mizutani to the tea room and served them two cups of tea. "Please wait a moment. I will go and ask Miss Rinko to come out."
Mizutani was about to pick up her teacup to soothe her throat when a broad, warm hand grabbed her arm.
"Professor...?!" Mizutani blushed.
"Don't drink it," Sora said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.
Before Sora could explain, the maid returned with a young woman in an kimono.
