Do people really believe that Masato is Asuto's dad ?

Bernard clearly said to Shinjou that he was going to make Shinjou's Son an Orion disciple.

And from episode 33's synopsis:

"Asuto left a letter and disappeared from the Inazuma Japan camp. Leaving his bewildered teammates, Asuto visits an Orion training facility with his father. What did he see there?"

Masato is clearly a trap from Orion to make Asuto a disciple, Shinjou Is Asuto's dad.
