From chapter 5- Bear-San Goes To The Adventurer's Guild
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Takasugi’s Mansion, Hachi-gatsu 1, 7567-
~Momoe’s P.o.V~
I cautiously opened the box and Inside was…
An egg around the size of my head. It has smooth marble-like white surface.
“Thank you Oneesama, this is the best, Nyah!”(me)
“An egg? What specie is it?”(Okasan)
“I have seen this type of egg before, it's an egg that develops by being close to a mana source and develop according to the mana it feeds. But this type of egg is quiet rare… Say, Arisu where did you get this egg?”(Sensei).
“…Pet store..”(Oneesama)
Sensei frowns at Oneesama for a while then lose interest and shrug his shoulder. By the way, shouldn't I ask about the staff that freakin just fused with me?
“Sensei, I have a question, Nyah”(me)
“What is it, my cute little pupil?”(Sensei)
“What's the name of the staff, Nyah? And what effect those it have, Nyah?”(me)
“That's two questions. Buhahaha, since I'm generous I will answer both question. The name of your new staff is Dragon Destroyer Vadlis. The one who owned it before you used this staff to kill all of the dragons in Arixar.”(Sensei)
In the corner of my eyes, Oneesama shivered for a split second. Is it cold in this room? I thought it was quiet warm here. I guess it's understandable since its early winter month.
But if Sensei is telling us the truth then dragons here became extinct? Ahh~ what a disappointment, I wanted to at least fight a dragon. But wait! Didn't he say that this staff had a previous owner?!
“Umm… Sensei, how was it possible for you to get your hands on this staff if it had previous owner? I thought this weapon can't be separated even after death, Nyah…”(me)
“…”(Everyone)
“Crap, my tongue slipped, I was hoping to avoid this subject…”(Sensei)
HEY! I can hear you clearly ya know!
“Hah~ it's very simple my student, the one who owned this staff previously was Goddess Yuuki. You were able to contract it because of your blessing…probably… As for how Goddess was able to separate from the staff was because she was originally mortal and was able to remove it after ascending to godhood. Same goes for Arisu’s sword, Bloody Rain Bringer Krios, which was owned by god Hikaru.”(Sensei)
Wait! Slow down you crappy teacher! Weapons owned by the deity of this world before becoming deity?! And what do you we were able to contracted due to our blessing and you even said probably!
“I was quiet surprised when I first gave the Bloody Rain Bringer to Arisu, since I thought the weapon would swallow her soul in one out of two times. It was a risk worth taking since she had the greater blessing of Hikaru. The weapons you two received was never used by anyone after the gods all ascended. Many tried to contract it but failed and died from madness caused by the weapons…”(Sensei)
This guy! He used Oneesama as a test subject. I summoned out Dragon Destroyer Vadlis and aimed my magic toward the Baka and was about to summon out millions of ice shard when Oneesama hit my head.
Oneesama scolded me earnestly and I can't disobey her so I stopped summoning ice spears and made them disperse.
“Phew~ I thought I was a goner… That was insane amount of mana coming from that staff…”(Sensei)
Shut it idiot! It was not like it was enough to kill a demon lord.
Suddenly I felt chill from the direction from where my parents were at. O..ooo..Okasan… Your really scary right now!
“Kuro-San, did you just took risk on my daughter for your research!”(Okasan)
Her tone is still light like usual and she is smiling like normal, but her killing intent is insane! Note to self, never anger Okasan no matter what.
Even the great Demon lord is sweating bullets, hahaha serves you right!
Otosan intervene before Okasan can jump on the idiot.
“I'm guessing Kuro-San had good intention in doing what he did, let's just calm down.”(Otosan)
Okasan relaxed afterward and Sensei sighed in relief. The party continued on for several hours after the incident. This party was longer than the other birthday party we had because this party also served as a farewell party since we are going to the magic academy tomorrow. The academy has a dormitory facilities so we can only come see our parents during breaks.
It doesn't take long to travel to Wenar academy of magic since we only need to get to the transportation portal which is only around two hours distance in a carriage. From there it only takes a second to teleport to the academy.
The only thing we are taking is some luggage for clothes and some money. We are going to be receiving allowances from our parents each month. I also decided to take my grimoire with me since that is allowed and I can't forget about the egg.
We have to leave early tomorrow so I better get some sleep.
Oh, because of so many things happening I forgot to talk about Kaya-San and Kei-Kun. Kaya-San told me that Kei-kun also will be attending Wenar Academy. Wenar Academy is divided into knight section and Mage section. Kei-kun has more talent in swordsmanship than magic so he applied for the knight section while we applied for the Mage section. We still have to go through tests to be placed in classes but otherwise anyone can get in as long as you have talent and vigor.
Hah~ I'm becoming sleepy good night!
-Next day-
Good morning!
Right now we are close to the transportation portal. Our family, Sensei, Kaya-San, and Kei-kun is currently traveling with us. Everyone except Kei-kun and Oneesama is coming with us to wish us luck.
Unlike schools in U.S back in our world, school in this world starts during the beginning of winter. Brrrr, it's freezing outside and the carriage ride is uncomfortable. I shiver uncontrollably as cold air blew inside the carriage. Why not use magic? Are ya trying to make me burn down the carriage? If I make small flame than its not enough, if I make it to big, the carriage can catch on fire…
Wait, I can just heat wind using fire magic and wind magic, duh!
I started to produce heat using the two magics, ahh~ it's so much warmer in here.
“It suddenly got warm in here”(Kei-kun)
"Momoe seemed to have figured out how to use her magic to heat the wind surrounding us.”(Sensei)
“I see…”(Kei-kun)
We arrive in front of the portal momentarily and Oneesama, Kei-kun and I got off the carriage and headed toward the portal. When I turned back to wave back toward everyone, I saw Sensei following us.
“Sensei, why are you following us from behind?”(me)
“Oh! Did I not mention?! I'm going with you because I have a business with school’s headmaster. Don't mind me kids, go through the portals.”(Sensei)
I wave toward my family one more time and head into the portal. My surrounding turns black and I remembered the time when I first entered through a portal after my death. This feels nostalgic.
When the darkness faded away, my eyes popped out and my jaw dropped. This place is a freakin castle, no scratch that out, it's bigger than a castle!
Staring at the several hundred feet tall building made from grey stone bricks, I almost mistaken it for Hogwarts, but it might actually be much bigger than that.
“Alright! You all look dumb just standing and staring, let's get you checked in for attendance and get you straight to exam.”(Sensei)
Sensei headed toward the main entrance, and Oneesama grabbed my hand and followed his suit. Kei-kun told us that the knight section is at the other side and that he will have to leave us. We bid him farewell and went our own ways.
At the entrance of the school, several students were getting their names checked in before entering. We went through the same process as well and entered a classroom filled with many students our age. When we entered the room froze and everyone’s gaze went toward us.
“…so pretty”(???)
“Who are those two?”(???)
“Are they perhaps royalties?”(???)
The whispers went on, so on so forth. We ignored them and sat in two empty seat at the back. I was not comfortable with all those stares so this spot was the best.
For the next two hours, we took our exam. The subjects were math, magic basics, history, and literature. The test was way too easy and I finished in the first hour and Oneesama finished ten minutes afterward. We handed in our test and waited patiently for the result. The classroom had a magical device for grading tests, something like a scantron machine, the proctor took our tests and put it inside the device to get it graded.
With a bored gaze, the teacher took out the test only to widen his eyes in surprise. He probably thought we guessed on every single problem. I know for a fact that as long as there wasn't an error in the answer sheet, I got everything right.
After the written test was the practical test. All we had to do was use our strongest magic to destroy the practice dummy and this in turn allows the mana used by the students to be measured.
I waited for my turn in a line while Oneesama stayed patiently in a line next to mine.
I was told by Maou Sensei to use all my might, he wants me to warned the students what would happen if anyone tried to pick a fight with me. Personally, I would have liked to hold back but I guess I'll do as Sensei advised.
When my turn came, I was wondering which spell to use. In the end, I decided to use my own spell. With my left arm holding on to my egg, I took out my grimoire from my bag with my right hand, I started to make an image of flame of darkness.
This is a magic spell made after I tried countless time to mix fire and dark magic. I named this spell as Hell’s flame. With the image of spell in mind, I raised my right hand, which isn't a problem since the grimoire floats by itself when in use, I gathered my mana and formed the spell.
The spectators gasped at the sight of a spell never before seen in this world.
“She didn't even chant to conjure a spell”(???)
“What the heck is that?”(???)
“Why is that flame black?!”(???)
I aimed and hurled my flame toward my target like a baseball. It was a size of my fist when I threw it. But upon contact, Hell’s flame exploded and caused the ground to shake.
*Kaboom!*
“Wahh!! It's an earthquake!”(Spectators)
Geez, relax its just a spell…
When the smoke cleared, the practice dummy was nowhere to be seen and a eight feet wide crater was formed. The proctor opened and closed his mouth several time like a fish.
Oneesama walked up to me with a smile and spread out her arms as if she is about to give me a hug… Ow, ow, ow! Oneesama, not the cheeks, your stretching them again!
Everyone in the surrounding watched the two of us in awe. Probably in their mind something like this went on, if the one getting punished has that much magic, how much power does that other girl have?
“Onnneeeeesshhhamyyahh, pweeesseee leggggooo oooof myahh cchhiiickkzzzz!”(Me)
Seeing that the punishment was sufficient enough, Oneesama let my cheeks go. Oh poor cheek-San you met a bad owner, I'm sorry… While rubbing my cheeks with my hand, I decided it was right to apologize to the proctor for destroying the field.
I went up to him, “I'm very sorry about the field, Nyah. I didn't think my spell would cause that mush destruction.”
“It's fine! It's totally fine! We are just glad to have a very promising student this year!”(Proctor-San)
Well he snapped out of his shock and the testing continued shortly after few earth Mage came in and fixed the damage. I stood behind everyone who was taking the test and watched Oneesama go up to take her practical test. The proctor scanned through the her application and turned pale. He whispered something to Oneesama and she just simply nodded.
Oneesama chanted a spell for flame magic. Above her head appeared a fire ball around the size of a basketball and she threw her arm and pointed at her target, and the fire ball flew toward the dummy. Well even though I said it flew toward it, it was too fast for normal eyes to catch. The only one who saw the fire ball flying forward would only be me, Oneesama and maybe some of the professors.
*Kaboom!*
Again the ground shook furiously, but in a slight lower magnitude. The field cleared and of course there was no trace of a dummy. I guess Oneesama held back a bit since the crater caused by the fireball had a diameter of only three feet.
For some odd reason, Oneesama seems to have more talent in fire magic compared to blood magic and she can best me in regular fire magic if I don't fuse other magic system in mine. So it's not surprising that the amount of damage she caused while holding back was still big enough to shock normal people.
“SERIOUSLY!”(proctor-San)
Oneesama walked up to me, grabbed my arms, and started to lead me toward somewhere.
Pointing at the professor who was beckoning us to come toward her, Oneesama dragged me toward the direction of where the headmaster was, or at least that where we are heading…
After following the professor for several minutes we arrived in front of a giant pair of doors. The professor knocks the door, “Headmaster Tachiban, I brought the two students you asked for.” “Let them in.” A deep old voice called back. Professor opened the door and let us in. She left after closing the door.
“Come in and take a seat, I know it must be boring but please do accompany this old man for a few moment.”(Headmaster)
When I first saw the headmaster, I almost screamed ‘holy crap! It's Gandalf!’ But restrained my tongue before I could say it. Headmaster looked literally like Gandalf except without grey robe and pointy hat. Instead, he is wearing an elegant golden robe and no hat.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
Headmaster’s office had a large antique desk in the far inner side, a book self filled with tattered books and seats in front of the desk for students visiting. However, we were motioned to seat in a couch sofa that was closer to the door and his assistant served us teas.
“Kuro Maou-sama came few moments back and was boasting about his students so I was curious as to see the two young lady whom learned combat and magic from Maou-sama. I'm pleased to find myself in a company of two beautiful young ladies. Hohoho, this is very pleasant.”(Headmaster)
What is wrong with all the old people in this world? They all have weird laughing habits and there timings are uncalled for…
“I called the two of you here at this moment to tell you and congratulate you personally. We had never had such two excellent potential students in our school. Your test results came in and Momoe-chan has ranked first among your year and Arisu-chan ranked close second. I welcome the two of you and please keep up the good work.”(Headmaster)
“Thank you”, “Thank you, Nyah”
“I have already made accommodation to have you two share a room. Maou-sama warned me about the risk of our school getting obliterated if you two are separated from each other…”(Headmaster)
Um… Headmaster-sama? I think Maou-Sensei messed with you? I believe we don't have enough power to destroy this school… Unless we take out our soul weapons… But we won't have to use it?
“We better get ready to leave, the school orientation is about to start and I need to introduce our new first year student President and Vice President. Oh, Momoe-chan, we will need you to do a small speech as first year representative.”(Headmaster).
Alright speech!... Huh?! I have to give a speech! Wait is this why Oneesama held back? Did she know that speech has to be given by the first place student?!
I'm about to cry!
She pat my hair while giving me a thumbs up. Oneesama…I don't want to hear that from you…You don't even speak except with me…
I reluctantly followed after Oneesama and Headmaster toward the orientation stage.
The orientation will be held in the cafeteria because of its massive size and space. Students from year one to eight. The mass of students chattered to themselves happily another aware of my distress behind the stage.
Three students our age came to the back of the stage led by a professor(?) and Headmaster greeted them.
“Before we begin the orientation, why don't the first year elite 5 introduce each other.”(Headmaster).
“Hello! My name is Toshiaki Higa, I am the 5th seat and is responsible for disciplinary committee.”(Boy 1)
“Um nice to meet you, I'm Haru Arato, 4th seat and I was given the responsibility of treasury for the first year.”(girl 1)
“I am called Roku Nanami, I ranked third and I will be the secretary for the year.”(boy 2)
“ Arisu Takasugi… 2nd seats”(Oneesama)
“Pleased to meet you, I am Momoe Takasugi, Nyah, I am Arisu Oneesama’s imouto, Nyah. I guess I'm the first seat, Nyah?”(me).
Arato-San is a human girl, an average beauty I guess with curly blond hair and blue eyes. HIGA-San is an elf with short green hair and green eyes, I guess a regular bishoujo. And lastly Nanami, he is…what's the word I'm looking for?...huge for our age? He is around four feet ten inches. Is he really six years old. Oh, he is a bear-kin, if I remember right, average bear-kin male grows to be around seven feet tall.
“If you will excuse me, I am going to the front of the stage to start our orientation, please be on standby at the side of the stage so that I can introduce the elite fives of grade one through eight and we will have Miss. Takasugi here give her speech as a first seat.”(Headmaster).
We move into the side of the stage and Headmaster took center of the stage. We take our seats and wait for the introduction.
Higa-San nudged me with his elbow and whispered toward me, “Takasugi-San, is it true that you were responsible for the earthquake and the explosion earlier today?”
“You can just call me Momoe since Oneesama is also Takasugi, Nyah.”(Me)
“Right, sorry Momoe-San, you can also call me Toshiaki.”(Higa-San)
“You may call me Roku if you would like.”(Nanami)
“As for your question, I did cause the first explosion but Oneesama caused the second, Nyah”(me)
“Oh! You guys can call me Haru. I also have a question! I'm not trying to be offensive but I was really curious, why do you always put ‘Nyah’ when you speak?”(Haru-San)
Uuu~ you just hit my hurt spot Haru-San….
“It's a curse I had since birth, Nyah. I have to always put the word, ‘Nyah’ when I speak, Nyah. I tried purification to remove it, and even asked the priest but it just can't be cured, Nyah.”(me)
“I think it's cute!”(Haru)
The other three nods their head and agrees. Kuh, critical hit! Man’s pride stat went down to -20!
Before any other questions can be asked the Headmaster began to start his speech.
“This is Wenar academy Mage section’s Headmaster Tachiban. It's nice to see our students from last years. Welcome back. As for the new first year students, welcome to Wenar Academy, where hard work and determination is praised. The curriculum of this school is very wide and various, so I would encourage all of you to go out and find the right field of magic for you.
This academy has been around for two hundred and seventy two years, I have served as a headmaster for around seventy years and I hope to be able to stay at least a hundred more years. This academy is a neutral territory with no favors toward nobility nor royalty. We would like all races to be able to get along without holding grudges of your parents and grand parents. I hope you have an enjoyable year and now I will introduce to you the first years’ elite five!”(Headmaster)
Wait! My hearts not ready for this! That speech was too short, I thought most speeches by headmasters in light novels and manga had really painfully long speech that goes on and on and on…
“On the fifth seat, Higa Toshiaki. *clap clap clap*
On fourth seat, Arato Haru. *clap clap clap*
On the third seat, Nanami Roku. *clap clap clap*
On the second seat, Takasugi Arisu. *hooo! She's beautiful! Yeah!*
Why are there so many student hitting on Oneesama! We are only six! Don't you dare try to lay hands on her you bunch of pedophiles! Oh wait, most came from our year and the two other class area including second and third year students…
“Lastly, the one with the honor of the first seat with perfect score in the written exam and magic beyond even some professional mages…”(Headmaster)
What the heck old man?! Why is my introduction longer than the others. Oneesama is grinning, did she set me up? Nah it must have been just the old geezer.
“Please welcome Takasugi Momoe! *Hooo! Marry me! She's a goddess*
I held my head high and walked gracefully up to the front center of the stage. Even in such an embarrassing situation, I'm proud to say I kept my family’s honor. *Sniff* Oneesama~ save meeeeeee!
But that was really not what I was seeking from her… Someone just let a hellhound lose in the school or maybe even a meteor down the school. Just anything but a speech.
“Now, Momoe-chan will be giving her first speech as the new president and first seat of the elite five.”(Geezer)
Baka geezer, just because you don't feel like giving a speech… I don't want to either ya know. Just cause you’re the headmaster I have no say in this? I thought we were a democratic coun… Oh wait, our kingdom is a monarchy…
“Hello, nice to meet you all, Nyah. As Headmaster-sama already introduced me, I'm Takasugi Momoe, but you can all call me Momoe since Oneesama behind me also has the same family name, Nyah. I still lack in many things and have problems I can solve from time to time, Nyah. Let us all work hard together this year and beyond, Nyah. I believe with enough effort, we can all become anything we wish to be, may it be a well known Mage, sigma class adventurer, or a high priests, Nyah. Possibilities are endless in this world, Nyah. I am not the best to play the role as the representative for my year, but I will do my best to lead everyone toward graduation, Nyah. So I am in all of your cares, Nyah.”
With that, I vowed my head for several seconds and moved next to Oneesama and took my spot.
The cafeteria became enshrouded with silence. Not even breathing can be heard in the silent hall. Suddenly, a student from the first year stands up and started to clap enthusiastically, followed by others with similar enthusiasm. Some even began to shout and whistle loudly.
You know it doesn't make me feel better since their cheering was late. Are they forcing themselves to cheer?
Headmaster raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop and listen, but for some reason, the students don't stop for around half a minute.
When the cheers died out, Headmaster spoke, “Thank you Momoe-chan, that was a very awe aspiring speech. Now let us continue to introduce our other year class elite fives…”
I blocked him out afterward and asked, “did I do that bad, Nyah” toward the other elite five members.
“No, that was great!”(Toshiaki-San)
“I think the speech motivated not just our year but the others as well.”(Haru-San)
“It was better than Headmaster’s speech.”(Roku-San)
I guess as long as the other elite five was okay with it, then it should be fine. I was afraid that my speech sucked so much that it would bring a bad reputation to the first year elite five but if the others approve, I guess it's all peachy.
Maybe I should have left my egg on my seat, I don't think carrying it to my speech was a good idea…
After endless introductions, we were dismissed to go to our new dormitory, which already had are luggage so set and organized by the school servants, we took a hot bath at the dormitory bath, had quick dinner, and went to bed.
-3rd P.o.V-
In the headmaster’s office, now the light dimly lit do to it being night time. Two figures could be seen discussing with each other.
“Buhahaha, what’d I tell you! Those two kids are quiet the monsters, I knew from the start that they will cause a commotion as soon as they enter the academy!”(Kuro Maou)
“I have wondered what kind of children would get such a high opinion from you, I had my skepticism but it was completely blown away today. Maou-sama, may I ask what you are planning?”(Tachiban)
“Nah, I'm not planning anything, I'm getting too old to do such thing now a days. I just hope to be alive long enough to witness a new era made by those two.”(Maou).
“I guess with such an out-of-common-sense child like Momoe, I can't even begin to guess the future ahead of us.”(Tachiban)
“It's not just Momoe. Actually, if you'd ask me, Arisu might even have bigger impact on this world than her sister.”(Maou)
“What do you mean? I was able to check their status card before they registered to come to Wenar and compared to Momoe-chan, Arisu-chan’s status are inferior. Although I admit, she might grow to become a fearsome Mage but compared to Momoe-chan, I don't think she will have as much impact in the future. I mean even Momoe-chan's speech was beyond what six year old should be able to say!”(Tachiban)
“You are being short minded Tachiban, Arisu is truly stronger, more that she is letting on. Haven't you ever considered meeting a being who can hide her true power? It was only for a few moment, but I felt a fearful pressure from Arisu during an incident. It was for only few seconds, but even I shivered at her pressure.”(Maou)
Tachiban was baffled at the thought that Arisu might be hiding her true capability and started to sweat profusely as he tried to remember all the conversations he had with her and make sure he didn't offend her in any way possible.
“The reason I requested to have the two sister share the room was not because I thought Momoe would go on a rampage. She might if Arisu orders her to, but otherwise, she would have found a way to always be close enough to guard her as Arisu’s Valkyrie. It Was not because of Momoe. The one I fear going rampage might be Arisu… She is always silent and her emotion nor personality never shows unless it toward her sister. If something happened to Momoe during night and Arisu couldn't keep her safe, who will she blame and destroy?”(Maou)
Tachiban gulped loudly at the thought of not knowing the situation, put the two sisters in separate dorm room, assassin kills Momoe in her sleep, and probably Arisu destroying everything in the fit of rage. That was all avoided thanks to Kuro Maou, but wasn't he the one who brought the two monsters to this school? But Tachiban did not remember about such thing as he was just relieved to not make such a mistake.
-somewhere in a dark alley-
Men in black hoods are discussing something at the same time Maou and Tachiban was having a discussion.
“This might be our chance, I'm guessing the Takasugi residency has high security system. We need to capture that white haired cat-kin. She could be sold for several thousand gold coins at least!”(Hood man#1).
“But what about all the scouts and kidnappers we sent? We never heard back from them and it was like they just disappeared completely from this world.”(Hood Man#2).
“Meh, they were too weak, if we could bring back that cat girl and sell her to the king, we could live without working for the rest of our lives.”(Hood Man#3)
“We also have the right item to capture her, I heard she is a Mage student, all we have to do is use mana restraint items so she can't use magic. You know how weak mages are without magic, right?”(Hood man#1)
“Alright then, let's observe the girl’s schedule and patterns. We strike in few days and abduct the girl and use slave magic to contract her.”(Hood man#3)
“We are going to be rich!”(Hood man#2)
