A large bird-like creature, with bright red eyes, swoops from a roof and grabs a woman before flying away with her; leaving only a sandal. The scene shifts to a class room within Occult Academy where students are discussing the recent disappearances occurring around the town. Kouze talks of a rumour involving a Tengu (‘Heavenly Dogs’ a supernatural creature originally thought to take the form of a bird of prey) believed to be behind the incidents. Maya soon enters and having overheard scoffs at the idea of a Tengu. Abe/Uchida (Uchida Fumiaki is his real name however he uses the guise of Abe Minourus as a teacher of Occult Academy) enters to begin his class while Maya ponders the rumours she has heard involving Tengu.
