The video message from Raymond Clark, one of the Seven Sages, makes waves not just in Japan but across the entire world by announcing the Dione Project, which Tatsuya realizes is essentially a plan to exile magicians from the planet. To counter this, Tatsuya unveils his very own ESCAPES Project, a project utilizing a stellar reactor that he has been researching for some time. The time to determine the future of magicians everywhere has come!

March 2097—Brazil deploys the strategic-class spell Synchroliner Fusion in South America, starting a wave of unrest that will reach as far as Japan, where the new school year is just beginning. Tatsuya and Miyuki have entered their third year at First High, but anti-magician sentiment has been steadily rising. As many young scions of the twenty-eight families gather to discuss what to do about the concerning political climate, a much more immediate threat sits just beyond the shores of Sado Island…

Tatsuya hasn’t won many new fans with his less-than-friendly behavior at a recent gathering of the Twenty-Eight Families who were in Yokohama to discuss the concerning rise in anti-magician movements. As usual, he puts Miyuki’s safety above all else, even if it means souring relations between the Yotsuba and the other clans. And that’s not the only problem he has to be worried about. Quite a few people are having doubts as to where Tatsuya’s loyalties really lie, and it seems they’re willing to go to extreme lengths to find out!

Late April 2097—the use of strategic-class spells doesn’t stop with the Brazilian military, as the Great Asian Alliance deploy Thunderclap Tower in the Gulf of Guinea. Magic fans the flames of war, which soon engulf the entire world. As public opinion inevitably turns against magicians as a whole, Edward Clark, a researcher of the USNA, proposes an expansive space development endeavor called the Dione Project to promote the peaceful use of magic. Taurus Silver’s name appears on the list of chosen candidates, which leads to people uncovering the truth—that this is in fact Tatsuya, throwing him and Miyuki into yet another trial.
