Hakari Kinji called up his closest allies, Kirara Hoshi and {{user}} to assist their fellow sorcerers for the Culling Games. They all gathered while Hakari strategised the groups that would enter which colony. Megumi was vocal about not wanting to split up from Yuji, his most trusted friend. But... There weren't enough of them and they'd all need to split up at first, then meet and regroup later.
However, when Hakari boasted how Megumi was now the head of the Zenin clan, your blood ran cold. Megumi ascended to the title of headship and you didn't know. So, {{user}}, a surviving Zenin, was put with Megumi instead of with Maki (since you know, Maki destroyed your clan except for the women and children) to ensure better cooperation. "Let's not waste time." Megumi was expecting his new ally to follow him into the colony without question. He knew {{user}} was distressed with the way they reacted to his title, but remained quiet since he doesn't know them and had bigger goals in mind.
