I am Sora Xertia.

A bonafide Magician.

I came from a family bloodline that uses the Mythologies as source of Magic. I was called as the 'Oracle of Greek Mythos' because of my excellent way of using Greek Mythology as source of magic spells. even though we live in Japan, my grandfather, who was a greek, taught me how to utilize the Greek Mythology.

It was a normal day. I was studying magic until..

"Sora-oniichan~"

"Wha-?! What are you doing here?!"

I was startled by the girl who pops out of nowhere.

"Ehehe~ I just had the urge to surprise you.. Oh~ what is this~"

The girl saw my collection of Magic Books.

"I-It's nothing!"

"Waah~ 'Basic Ideas about Magic'! So Sora-oniichan is one of those 'Magician'! Do you like Magic? I like Magic!"

Here we go again..

"No-! I don't like them!"

I don't like them doesn't mean that I don't need to learn them..

"Please teach me how to use Magic!"

She held my hands with glittering eyes. She's totally cute but... I need to stop her delusions!

"Please listen to me!!"

*****

In a world where Magic doesn't exist, if you ask the whole population, most of them would say that 'It's nice if Magic exist'.

Since ancient times, Magic is something that humanity seeks. Proofs for search of magic could be found everywhere around the globe. From ancient Egypt, to the Incas, and even to mainland China. Even the Roman Catholic Church created Inquisitions against witches, or what they called the 'Witch Hunt'. During those times, our belief to Magic and everything extraordinary is strong enough to cause fear in our hearts.

In our present times, the fast advancement of technology removed the 'search of extraordinary' in our hearts. Only children.. well, not even most of them, believe on Magic anymore. The description of Magic we could come up nowadays are 'Fast Sleigh of Hands', or 'Mirror Illusions'. In a sense, Magic nowadays is just a source of entertainment, not as a weapon or a source of great power. Some Teenagers to Young Adults creates delusions where they would die and reincarnate in a Magical world, or even awaken their secret power. Those bunch of fools, who are called 'Chuuni' by others, are just people who take comfort on their delusions since they're bullied or forsakened by real world. One of those 'Chunii' is my childhood friend.

This girl, Aoi Schwarz, is the source of my problems. She is what you call 'a perfect girl' in man's dreams. Black hair and blue eyes, she's a half-Caucasian half-Japanese. Her mother is a Japanese while her father is a Austrian. Her mother and father are frequently away because of their work. Now, without someone to take care of her, she's left with her maid that serves her 24/7. Her family owns one of the biggest companies in our country. A real-life 'ojou-sama'.

The day I first met her, she was in a playground, crying. I was six years old at that time. I don't know why, but when I saw her crying figure, I thought that I should console her. Before I could talk to her, she looked towards my way with glittery eyes. My heart skipped for a moment, until I noticed that she's already clinging on my sleeves. When I asked her address, she took out a slip of paper from her pocket, which could be called ,more or less, a map. Why more or less?

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

It was like a child's scribble. I know that she's not the one who created it, but this is hardly legible. Good thing I have a magic for dechipering these kind of writing..

Before we arrived at the front of her house's gate, I was stupefied. A group of black-suited men starts to circle us. They weren't holding guns or anything, but their way of staring at me.. Is kinda suffocating..They tried to take away their mistress from my side, but she's still holding on my sleeves tightly. It is when they permitted me to accompany her inside the house. When we reached the gate, I wanted to run away.

I didn't know that the gate, which could only fit one vehicle, is just the entrance towards a very big mansion. It was as if they occupied the whole area, and only used the neighboring house as camouflage. Before I could run, I noticed that Aoi's hand was gripping tightly.. and she's also trembling. Thinking that she's going to get punished, I accompanied her inside. We saw a mini-train that leads us towards the mansion. When we reached the mansion, we saw her mother and father who were very worried about her. They tried to ask me to dine with them, but I courteously refused.

As I was walking away, Aoi was still holding on my sleeves. I still remembered what I said during that time..

"I have to go, but I'll play with you again, okay?"

"Mhm~!"

She lets go of my sleeves and I departed from the mansion.I became a frequent visitor of their mansion. Every time I leave, she is always reluctant to let me go. I felt that she's cute that way.

I didn't know.. that event would change my peaceful life into a troublesome one..

A week we first met, I noticed that there was a commotion outside our house. I thought it is one of those new residents that would occupy the neighbor's house... but it was a huge construction instead. In my mind, it was just an ordinary renovation, but what happened next blew up my mind..The whole house was built after a day, and all of the neighbor's things are already transferred to the new house. While I was playing my Portable Game Station on my room at the second floor of our house, mother hurriedly called me downstairs. What I saw in our front door was...

"Hello, Sora-oniichan. I'll be your new neighbor.. Please take care oft-?!"

She bit her tongue in the middle of an eloquent introduction. I'm not in the mood to laugh. Who would laugh in this situation?

"A-Aoi.. what's the meaning of this?"

"Well, I thought that Sora-oniichan's always go to my house everyday even though it was far.. so I asked Papa and Mama to make a solution.. so this is the solution they came up with.."

Why are you fidgeting while saying that?!

"I'm okay with that kind of routine though..."

Because it also acts as my physical exercise.

"E-eh?! But.. if my family live here.. I could always play with onii-chan until night.."

That's the main reason?!

Before I could react, she continued her introduction.

"Then, I'll say it again.. Please take care of me, Sora-oniichan~!"

"Please give me a break..."

This is the start on how a True Magician met a Magic Otaku.
