He stands at the top of the roof: a man clad in foreign clothing. His face is covered by a mask that resembles a fox. The mysterious stranger silently observes the drama unfolding before him: Numerous people are running around the courtyard, looking like ants from the roof.

The stranger grins under his mask. He doesn't quite know why he is doing this himself. Is it perhaps the solidarity among the students that touches his heart?

“The poor scholars, trapped in the flames...”

The man picks up the sword he had recently used to cut the hole in the lecture hall.

“I'm glad my blade was able to do its job.”

The man named Junishi falls silent again as he sees a woman in a witch's hat leave the burning building. She seems to be carrying three unconscious students.

“Zenith...” the name escapes Junishi's lips like a breath,

"So you want to fulfill your role too? So almost all the warlords have fulfilled their duty. It's time for the mastermind to be brought to justice."

His gaze falls on the area of the building where the library is located; like all other parts of the facility, the flames are trying to devour its interior.

“I wonder if... no, it doesn't matter anymore.”

Junishi turns around, jumps off the roof and disappears into the undergrowth.

Of all the warlords, he is the most secretive.
