Yu's stern voice betrayed her concern as she read through the document she was handed. "We have checked the reports repeatedly Director, there is no doubt about the validity of them."
Yu shook her head firmly. "So it was here in Hosenka that it took place?"
The Clock Tower agent nodded their head firmly in response. "Affirmative, there are lingering traces of both Time-altering magic and Void Magic present within the city. Based on the timing and several other factors it is certain that the person responsible was Judith Karlinius."
