[indent]It was a regular Wednesday evening in Kuchikiroka. Streets were filled with a few buses and cars filled with students leaving their classes; the school was still filled with quite a few students involved in after-school affairs―extra-circular and otherwise. The winter semester was drawing to an end with just two weeks of class left before the three-week spring vacation, then back for its spring-summer semester. Most students were, around this time, putting in extra effort to classes that needed it or for competitions they were involved in. Of course, those were the students that actually gave a damn. A majority of the lower caste spent this time preparing drugs, sluts and the older gentlemen paying their way into high school parties that were sure to happen in a few weeks. Even a few of them did even less by simply fighting it out in the streets or working a part-time job to fund their weekends.

"But a trio, sir? Taking three souls meant for one world... and the training... what if they don't even make it?"

"Botan, that's enough. The last Tantei-Trio held off an S-class demon with only one casualty. We don't even need that much power."

"Do you know who will accompany them? There could be dozens of casualties, souls tethered to th―

"―Botan, that's enough! Even if a hundred die here, these three could save our entire jurisdiction."

"A-Alright, sir! But, what about their Hands?"

"My father approved seven souls for me to use, if need be. Any more will be too much paperwork."

"Could we have more, sir?"

"I'm sure we could have hundreds before truly upsetting the balance, but it would take an eon just to finish the paperwork."

"I remember when the Reikai never had so much paperwork..."

"Heh. I remember when we only thought there was the Reikai, Botan. Nevertheless, I have matters to attend to. Watch close."[/i]
