From the Tokyo Times (Scientist Edition):
On the first of February 2053, the mages in Tokyo were supposed to go on their year-end conquest.
No one knows if it was a coincidence. Or a deliberate attempt by the mage students to seek in the Science prefecture.
The next day, the academy guards reported a huge pathway in the back of the academy. They reported it to the head scientists. The police, on further inspection, reported the fence had been cut in the middle, that sprung open a way huge enough for two trucks to drive in side by side.
Amazingly, they passed through the uncleared Forest of Doom without encountering a deadly monster and cut the fence without getting caught by the security cameras.
The citizens of the Science Prefecture, Tokyo, are currently in a life-threatening situation. We do not know what the mages plan on doing by entering our side. A terrorist attack? Or use their curses to kill us? We do not know.
