Background[]

Do you know about the Vietnamese Conflict? In that war, the South Vietnamese Army that was trying to wage guerilla warfare against the Great Asian Union that was encroaching into the Indian Peninsula and the Korean army dispatched by the Great Asian Union were so fearful of him that they treated him like Death or the Devil himself.

Chiba Naotsugu about Kazama, Volume 11, Chapter 15

Kazama is a B-ranked Magician and also a member of the magical community that has the Ten Master Clans at the pinnacle. He has a chilly relationship with the Ten Master Clans, who are the epitome of modern magic, although his relationships with those in his troop do not count.

During the Great Indochina War, then Captain Kazama openly attacks the Great Asian Union soldiers against the orders of the National Defense Force's orders to secretly sabotage them which resulted to Kazama being cut off from promotions. After the Okinawa Defense Naval Battle, Major General Saeki Hiromi promotes Kazama to Major and assigns him to be the commanding officer of the newly established 101 Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion and eventually introduces Tatsuya to Yakumo for additional martial arts training.

Kazama giving a mission to Tatsuya at his office

Due to their accomplishments at Yokohama, the Independent Magic-Equipped Battalion gained renown as a Special Forces group capable of overcoming dire situations, resulting in the promotion of certain Officers for their roles. However, these promotions were withheld for a long time due to this battalion being a secret unit, that should be kept in low profile. But, the Yokohama Incident was a large event and wasn't something the Ministry of Defense could ignore, and eventually, they passed out delayed promotions, which should have happened during July 2096, in January 2097.

Kazama gives the mission to destroy Asteroid 2095GE9, code name: Sieg with Material Burst to Tatsuya where it is later revealed that the asteroid falling to earth is caused by Meteorite Fall. [4]

After the Tuman Bomba attack on Izu Villa, Kazama's Cloak of Invisibility that is used to conceal their vehicle and bypass the barrier is detected by Tsukuba Yuuka who moves to confront them. Kazama orders his subordinates to prepare to retreat but they are surrounded by eleven Tsukuba magicians so he goes out of his vehicle and meet with Yuuka. Tatsuya takes over the questioning from Yuuka and deduces that Saeki have received intelligence that Izu Villa is the likely target of Tuman Bomba and orders Kazama to gather data nearby. Kazama's silence confirms Tatsuya's deduction and would cause the mutual trust between him and the National Defense Force to be broken. [5]
