> Chapter 1, introducing Yuito for the first time.

Yuito was originally from Sendai city in Miyagi prefecture and he and his family moved to Tokyo due to his father’s job. He has always been known as the “quiet” and mellow student, even before the incident even at his old school. He also seems to have a close relationship with his parents, particularly his mother.

### The Incident

Prior to the incident, he was best friends with Yoshiko Takamori and Kenji Yamashita who were also his classmates. After school, the three would hang out in the forest together and hang out by sitting down on a log and eat snacks near the campfire when Kenji (the quirky and headstrong one) would tell scary stories to them to scare them and seeing their reactions. Though he was best friends with both Kenji and Yoshiko who both had a more happy personality compared to Yuito, they appreciated him for being that way and thought that was special. Yuito even had a little crush on Yoshiko but never admitted his feelings for her.

His friendship with Yoshiko and Kenji ended on October 9th, the day of The Ryousei high school incident where The Sorcerer destroyed and exploded half of the school, killing 98 students, two of them being both Yoshiko and Kenji who died from the explosion, Yuito was in the same spot near where the explosion happened and as he woke up from blacking out due to the incident, Yoshiko’s body was near him and Kenji’s body flew to the grassy area where more corpses were found. Though lucky that he survived the incident and only suffered minor injuries, he met another person who survived the explosion named Noriko Mutoh who also had minor injuries but was so heavily terrified of what happened that her body couldn’t stop shaking uncontrollably that she had trouble walking herself and Yuito helped her out despite him being in the same amount of pain she was in, the two were able to escape the school from another entrance that wasn’t engulfed in flames where multiple ambulances came and took the two of them in the hospital.

As Yuito was still recovering from the hospital, The CEO of The Zeus Corporation Junichi Tanaka and another member and Spy Mako Kamiru came and interviewed him what happened, Yuito’s mind was foggy and didn’t process what happened so he didn’t get much answers for the both of them so the two of them waited until he fully recovered before they talked to him again.

A week later as Yuito was fully recovered and about to be discharged from the hospital, Mako and Junichi interviewed him again hoping that he gives them a clear answer this time and told them of the incident of what happened but didn’t specify the true cause or what caused the explosion but he wanted answers as to why and Junichi offered him to work for The Zeus Corporation with Mako to solve the mystery of the disasters that’s been happening around Tokyo and accepted, and became an official member of the corporation.

## Powers

Yuito’s weapon is a knight-styled sword, medium in length and a very sharp end. His weaponized shoes and armor protect him from physical and magic based skills from enemies. His shoes and armor have small blades on them for extra protection.
