Start by Eating Jake Jake no Mi

Magic. 

This probably shouldn't have existed in this world, especially when the laws of physics ruled the world. 

Under this law, a specific rule had to be followed, or else it wouldn't be possible for it to happen.

Yet, the existence of magic changed all of that, as it allowed him to deceive the world to create something that shouldn't have existed. 

Still, even if magic could deceive the world to create a miracle, it couldn't escape the law of physics. 

Even Tatsuya's magic also had to follow Albert Einstein's mass-energy equivalence. 

As the protagonist, Tatsuya couldn't even escape this law, and naturally, Masa would be the same in the past, but as he had gotten this ability, he was no longer bound by the law of physics. 

Yet, even so, Masa was surprised to know that there would be an existence that broke this law would exist. 

Demons, spirits, devils, etc. 

Masa thought that it was only a myth, but when he thought about magic that existed in this world... somehow, such an existence that broke the law of physics, he could accept it calmly, especially when he knew that among the magic practitioners, especially those who used ancient magic, a magic that was inherited from their ancestors and everything, there were those who could manipulate soul or spirit. 

Still, once again, he realized that he shouldn't just limit himself to the law of physics; he should break away from his inherent thoughts and try to develop something that was within the realm of mystery. 

After all, magic is something that shouldn't have existed, had existed, so why should everything be limited by the law of physics? 

Masa felt like he should be like Issei. 

Yes, he knew that Issei was a bad example, but even so, Issei's technique, whether it was a "Dress Break," "Boob Language," or "Boobs Energy," all of them broke away from the law of physics. 

It was in the realm of mystery! 

No, Issei should have mastered the concept of boobs! 

Yet, Masa's childhood education, which taught him about "Modern Magic," limited his creativity and subconsciously made him think it was impossible. 

However, the moment Asuha mentioned the existence of those magical life forms, Masa knew well that it was idiotic of him to limit himself, especially when he had developed many concept-like abilities such as the "Mobius World" with his Jake Jake no Mi. 

"It must surprise you, right?" 

"Ah, yes." 

Masa just agreed as it was troublesome to explain, nor did he plan what was within his mind. 

"However, this is normal since the last such a creature ever existed within a record in this country was in the 12th century." Asuha felt that Masa's reaction, who was in a daze for a while, was normal, especially when she told him about this fantasy-like creature that existed in this world. "At that time, Abe Yasunari is said to have exorcised a Nine-tailed Demon Fox." 

"That's good, then." 

"Yes, it is good." After all, even she would be unable to remain calm if such an existence suddenly came to this country. However, if it was in another country, it didn't matter, she thought. "But we can't let our guard down since sometimes, those existences will appear on the surface and be seen by the public." 

Still, what was the purpose of Asuha saying all of this? 

"Excuse me for being straight, but do you need our help to erase such an existence?" Masa asked with doubt. Yes, the Isshiki family could control bio-electricity, but it didn't mean they could take down a ghost, okay? 

If Asuha wished to take down a mystery-based creature, then she should go after the ancient type of magician since they were more proficient in this area. 

"No, my purpose to come here is simple, and that is to invite you to the Senate." 

"..." 

Masa was in a daze for a moment and asked, "Me? Becoming a Senate member? Hazumi-san, are you being serious here?" 

"Yes, I am." Asuha nodded, expecting Masa's reaction. 

"...I am just a high school student, you know?" 

Masa was sure that the members of the Senate must be someone of an older age, so why should he be invited? 

"Do you want to or not?" 

Asuha didn't waste her time; she just asked him a straightforward question, especially when she knew that Masa's mind was definitely far from being simple. 

For a young man to be able to build this so-so magic family to such a height, Masa wasn't as innocent as he appeared to be. 

Though, in terms of a relationship, Masa was a cherry boy, without a doubt. 

Still, does Masa want to join this organization? 

If Masa had to be honest, he didn't know about the Senate or whatnot since, in the end, this was an organization created when all of those strong people behind the scenes were unable to overwhelm the others or become the victor during their competition. 

In other words, it was a so-called solution to satisfy all parties, but they were unable to come to a conclusion.

Yet, because of that, Masa knew that this organization definitely wasn't monolithic, and each other definitely competed with each other. More importantly, if he agreed to join, he knew that he would enter Asuha's camp. 

If she was the strongest and the leader of the Senate, then Masa would agree, but even if her family had a long lineage and she also had the elder position within the Senate, she wasn't the only elder, nor was she the strongest! 

If he had joined Asuha's camp, he would have faced Asuha's competitors!

In other words, he would be used by Asuha! 

Yet, even if he was used, the benefits that came from being a member of the Senate were high, as this organization was definitely chosen among many who had an influence over politics, economics, and all the other aspects of this country. 

For example, the bank that Masa planned to acquire and the space industry that he planned. 

If he joined this organization, he knew that everything would be smooth, so as Asuha wanted to use him, he also wanted to use her. 

Now, he also understood why his uncle had come to him and brought Asuha.

With their current influence in this country, it wouldn't be strange for them not to be invited to this group. 

After all, unlike the other magician families whose main business and main income was from their work as a magician. Yes, they might have another business, whether it was construction, hotels, or many others, but even so, their scales weren't as massive as the Isshiki family that could dominate the information technology industry, especially when among all of those families could only rely on their income from a magic-related industry such as CAD, specialized weapons, and many others. 

There were only about 50,000 or so magicians in this world, and that wasn't even one percent of the total population, so naturally, if they relied on those magicians for a business, their income wouldn't be high. 

Yet, Masa's business influenced all living beings, whether they were magicians or not, as they would be using his service, considering it was the best in this world. 

However, Masa also knew that as he gained attention, he would make a lot of enemies. Frankly, he didn't care about those enemies, especially when he could erase them, but sometimes, killing wasn't the only way to handle all of this, and making an ally was one way to handle this problem. 

Nevertheless, while this invitation was unexpected, it was a good thing for him. 

'Well, let's say that it is a bonus.'

Masa had prepared a countermeasure in case everyone tried to surround him, a big temptation that no one could resist. Yet, this invitation to become a member of the Senate was also a good thing and was also one way to protect himself and his family and make their life more peaceful. 

Even if Asuha wasn't the only elder and her power could only match of the others, Masa didn't mind, so—

"My uncle will be a member, right?" 

"Oh, you don't want to become the youngest member of the Senate?" 

"I have a lot of things to do, after all." 

Asuha fell in silence for a moment, seemingly to be in deep thought, then nodded. "You are right." 

"Please take care of me, Asuha-san." Masa bowed his head and appeared docile and obedient. 

"Yes, let me take care of you." Asuha also smiled, thinking that she would take care of him well, but before all of that, she asked, "Now, as we have finished our formality, can you tell me more about your magic that allows one to become younger and more good-looking?" 

'As expected.' 

This was why Masa decided to create magic to help with the beauty; that way, all the wealthy women in this world would be his allies, and as expected, his plan was successful.
