Im Shana, nice to meet'cha
Im Shizen
I look forward to working together, Shana san, Shizen san!
W- working...?
Mao chan also said Mission....?
Ah that's right... This is my part...
Nnn?
You see these blades?
She points towards her back, which had 5 different sword sheathe, 2 pairs and a sword to be exact
Yeah....?
Magic swords....?
Nice guess, but they're only semi magical
Nnn? What do you mean...?
They can take form on your magic- it's dangerous here let's go to our practice room
Practice..... room.....?
Come with me, Saki you comin'?
Yeah- I'll be there, had a call, urgent mission
Ahh... Good luck then
Yeah!
They walk to another room, the roof and floor is white, the wall is black
Mao, i take it you're ready?
Yeah... The usual...?
Yeah, she pulls a pair of swords, stabs it on the ground, then takes another pair
Shana san, here
Mao gives Shana a sword, similar to Regina's
Nnn? This is...?
This is Onee chan's sword, but the shape didn't match her style of fighting...
Why are you giving it to Shana...?
Try to infuse you magic into the sword, it's like giving your energy to it, like making it a part of your body- let your blood flow into it
I'll try... Nnnhhh....!
The sword turns redder, the sword grows an aura that grows hotter
Oohh, that's some progress- i couldn't even transfer mana when i first tried it
Is she doing that good...?
Not really, she's wasting too much mana- its like pouring water from a bottle with many holes
It might be because of her capacity....
Overwhelming magic huh... Well, now I'll show you what that sword does- Shana, give Mao chan your sword
O- okay...?
You can call these sword catalysts for your mana- in otherwords-
She holds out her hand to the sword from afar- the sword flies towards her
Wh- whoa...!
This is my magic- air magic, but the difference with Saki's is that i excel at object moving with the magic, while Saki's make herself faster, allows her to glide or fly for a while
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
Oh and- i can make air weapons- but it's really last resort...
Mine is making weapons or machines, as you saw before, that machine was pure magic made, and i also can tune weapon's magic properties....
Tune...? Like weapon effects in games...?
Y- yeah...
Then- Shizen, your turn
E- ehh me....?
Yeah, you have a spark for lightning magic
... I'll try...
Regina gives the sword to Shizen, then Shizen holds the sword with both hands
Like my blood flowing into the sword....
Then- the sword glows yellow, lightning sparks formed around the sword, then soon lightning strikes formed around her
Wh- what!?
H- her magic power raised to AA...!?
I- it was CC before... Right...?
Y- yeah....
Am... I.... That strong....?
I doubt it, but that increase is incredible....
You doubt it...?
....
...........
Silence was putted between them
...We... Had one more member...
Onee chan! I'll do it...!
N- no, Mao, i...
Just then- the door opened
You don't need to, I'll do it
D- doc..
You don't need to worry, Mao chan~
Saki pats her
...
Mao looks at the floor, avoiding eye contact
We.. Had a guy, strong willed, friendly, kind..
Though he was an introvert, he tried to get along with everyone, tried to... Make us together...
He was so annoying...
Saki commented
We had fond memories of him, He risked his life for us and... well..., it didn't go well for him....
Will you tell us what happened...?
He did... What i couldn't...
There's a hole, near your school
It's a wormhole- or a door to another dimension...
That other world is terrifying, no one came back alive after stepping in...
Except for me, that's solely why i made this organization...
And he- was the one giving ropes through the hole- i was in debt-
You're in debt to him?
No, not just debt, i felt... Destiny...
I was with the doc after that happened if you're wondering
I felt like with the knowledge i have i can create a base there with enough manpower...
And when i tried....
Everything was.. Obliterated... Turned to ashes...
His magic was-
Beast tamer- specifically to evolve, breed and create new species
his most successful one was this- Phoenix
Mao shows a picture of them 5 with a fire bird
It costed a lot- but he said it was worthed
That of course lead to other events...
There was an invasion- from that other world..
He was in the middle of perfecting his magic beast- He called it Chimera
It was missing a heart, a... Person willing to give up their humanity for power
So he became the heart?
Fortunately, no
He was able to make another tameable beast- one where he grew from small for his "bond"
Did.. It work...?
Yes, it was a big, big success.. But it came with a huge cost
And that is...?
It attracted the other world- they somehow knew about the Chimera
They broke in when we were on a mission- when he was perfectly alone with his beasts
All the beasts was killed, but the chimera remained intact- we don't know why...
He.. Got assassinated...?
Yeah- his arm was destroyed, his arm bone was pulverized, his eye was missing one, all of his ribs broken.
His legs we're gone, he lost so much blood....
Saki added
So the chimera is still here..?
It's not "here"... But yeah more or less
So its missing a heart...
Yeah- we arent even sure humans can use that thing- or that you would call that person human anymore...
He gave me a note, a note that he knew it was about to happen- but not to him...
But to me..
They discovered something dangerous and tried to dispose it- thats normal...
Except it instead merged with the chimera and became stronger and stronger
That's what we thought- from a camera that suggested they were using weapons to destroy it
Magic weapons- like the sword earlier
H- how strong were they...?
Too strong... One magic user can possibly beat Saki
"One magic user"...?
Yeah- almost all species have a city containing almost ten thousands- especially the demons..
Th- that sounds scary...
But what has contained it in for so long?
Yeah- that's the second part
Second part?
He gained enough trust with the good side of the other world- they have what we don't have-
A magic teaching school- same as our small organization, but bigger
And publicly allowed
How long has this been going for....?
I'd say about 7 months....?
They gave us letter to send someone to the other side- but we're not so sure who to send-
It might also be a trap
Nnnhhh....
Well, that's our history
Shana san, as you saw- I made you a weapon
M- me...?
For now its a gauntlet, but i'll make you a prefered one later, here
Try it out
Nnn.... I'll try!
You can imagine or shout like in games to make casting spells easier
Nnnnnhhhh....
Though it might sound cringy and helps the enemy know what kind of spell is going to be casted, you can just simply do this-
Regina picks up a sword and points it backwards
Wind!
She swings it forward, as if being thrusted by the wind, the sword flies forward in a very high speed, maybe faster than a normal car?
And then- without shouting,-
She picks up another sword and does the same thing
It's- slower...
Yeah- oh and im already mostly used to it so i can do multiple- this is my magic~
Multiple swords flies around her
Is it hard....?
Very, but given you started off better than us, im sure you'll be able to fight with us faster than you can imagine
PATHETIC HUMANS!!
Wh- what!?
Ah- doc it's-
DiD YOU REALLY THINK THAT-
Ah- my phone-
Ph- phone....?
Seriously... What kind of ringtone is that...
Hello? Homura Naoru speaking
Hmmm?
Actually-
He looks at Shana, then looks at Shizen
That might be what we need
Nnnn?
Shana tilts her head slightly to the left
Yeah- about the equipments...
Ehhh...? Really!?
Alright, give us roughly one month
Yes please, thank you Yua san!
He speaks politely
It was Yua chan?
Yeah- great news- or bad depends on you actually
Muu?
Shizen shows a slight excitement
You all are going to undergo a magic training- and of course as you're there, you have to do everything by yourself
So we're going in the other world?
Yeah- atleast after a month
Any requirements?
Prefered weapon must be at hand, Also to read rules and the sort
Uuu.... School again....?
Well.... As long as we're im with Shana....
Actually, you're all invited
Ehh?
Us too?
Really...?
Mao's eyes glimmer brightly
Yeah- they're gonna teach you advanced stuff, as well as teaching you real combat- simulated of course
Scary...
This is.... The best! I can get more info on that half demon girl.. hehehe~
Saki drools
Mmm i guess i can figure out how strong i am currently...
Th- they're all so different...
Shana thought
Oh but what about Shizen? Isn't using her power forbidden-
No worries- i can handle a losing fight if its strength based
What do you mean?
You'll see, it's my unique style of sword art
Can't wait for it!
You both will be sent back to your homes to pack everything, you will be at that magic school for... 7 months or something..?
Even you're not sure...?
Well, Saki came back everyday, catching up and gathering info from both worlds, Regina stayed for 9 months, Mao was 10 months, but he was only 4 months...
Th- that big of a gap...?
Yeah- thats why im not so sure
And judging from your recent spark, it's gonna be hella hard
Saki added
What kind of races are there?
Theres a lot actually, from mermaids, to demons, dragon skinned elfs, a really wide variety
Oh- i met a half phoenix bloodline once!
Ah- her..?
I wonder if she's doing fine...
Mao smiles
Speaking of races- you can just assume their magic is relates to their race right?
Not all, but mostly sure, you might even meet a golem that flies one day
Gahahahaha! What kind of comparison is that!?
But Doc's true, you might actually meet one
But still~!
Uuu so i guess we'll be going home...?
Yeah... i wonder how dusty they are..
Oh no need to worry about that, I've hired someone to clean for you once a month
Why... Would you go that far...?
Because you need me
