“Water Magic: Water ball!” One of Zakuya’s classmates point its right hand to a dummy, and it release an water ball, and then it hit the dummy, and the water ball just made the dummy wet.

“(…This is just like me having a water backet. This is worst.)” Zakuya said.

After that their teacher called Zakuya, and Zakuya was still thinking.

“Hey transferee, it’s your turn.” One of Zakuya’s classmates said.

“Is that so, thanks.” Zakuya said, while his right hand is on the back of his head. After that Zakuya run in front of the dummy.

Zakuya sighed, and said in his mind— “(Okay, I’m not going to break or destroy the dummy, I’m just going to burn it up.)” After that Zakuya begin to cast his spell.

Zakuya took a deep breath, and cast his spell— “I call the flame god! Give me the mana to burn this dummy in front of me! Flame magic: Flaming attack!” While Zakuya was talking he doing unnecessary move, and when he was about to say “Flame magic” He hold his right wrist, and he open his hand, and when said “Flaming attack.” He releases flame on his palm, and then he rotates it, before throwing his attack to the dummy.

After doing all of that Zakuya was embarrassed, then his attack hit the dummy, and the dummy just burn, but not just burn, the dummy burn into ashes, and Zakuya gets in both hands on his head.

“(Oh no! I mess up!)” Zakuya said, then he hear his teacher talk.

“That’s good, we have another good student.”

After that the teacher calls the other student, there are 15 other students, and only 4 of them break the dummy.

“Okay, that wrapped it.”

After that it was—

“Already, lunch break?” Zakuya said, as he looks at the schedule.

Zakuya went to the cafeteria. When Zakuya was on the cafeteria, Zakuya check his wallet, and he see that he doesn’t have money to buy the food that will fill him. After ordering the food, that he can only buy, Zakuya look for a table to sit, while he was looking, he sees a girl with red hair with orange on the tip of its hair, and it’s worn different uniform from them, who was looking for a chair to sit in too. After looking for a table to sit in, Zakuya found a table, and chair that no one sitting on it . Zakuya place his tray to the table, when suddenly another tray bump on his tray.

“Huh?” Zakuya said, as he sees the tray dump to his tray.

When Zakuya look to who the person is, he sees the girl earlier. Both Zakuya, and the girl put the tray on the table.

“Could you please, move to the other table?” The girl said.

“Huh?! I got here first you go to the other sit.” Zakuya respond.

Both of them argue, and it the end, both of them sit in that same table.

“Why couldn’t you just move to the other table?” The girl said with irritated tone, and while her eyes close, and taking a bite on her food.

Zakuya ignore her, and just look at her phone.

“Using phone while eating you don’t have respect to the food aren’t you.” The girl said, while there’s food in her mouth.

“Mind your own business.” Zakuya said, while looking at his phone, and taking a bite of his food.

“Wait, you’re the guy that destroy the dummy right?” The girl asks.

“Yeah, so what?” Zakuya said while still looking at his phone.

The girl stop eating, and look down, and said— “I hate to admit it, but I’m not good at using my magic.”

While the girl was talking she didn’t notice that Zakuya is about to finish eating his food.

“Would you mind teach me, how to use my magic properly?” The girl said, while she’s looking down.

After that Zakuya stand up, holding his tray. Then the girl notice that Zakuya stand up.

“Heh?! Your done already?!” The girl said, while looking at Zakuya.

When Zakuya stand up, he moves his head to the right just to see the girl, and then he said— “I don’t have time to teach you, I have something to do, and by the way. If You eat that much of food. You’ll… Gain… Weight.”

“W-Weight. T-T-Then d-d-don’t!” The girl said, while her face is red, and then she looks away, while saying “Hmph!” while pouting.

After that Zakuya take his tray back, and then he heads back to the classroom. Zakuya’s day went like normal, and nothing happen.

*Next day*

“*Sighed* This is my second day here… But there’s still no sign of Abnormality.” Zakuya said While walking outside. When suddenly his phone vibrates. Zakuya took out his phone, and look at it, and see that he got a message.

“Who email me?” Zakuya opened his phone, and he read the email, and it read.

“From Lud, hey Zakuya-kun this is the old man you help for the robbery, please call me as soon as you read this message.”

After reading the message Zakuya immediately call the old man.

“Ah Hello? This is Zakuya.” Zakuya said, after he calls the old man.

“Ohhh, Zakuya-kun.”

“So, what do you want us to talk about?” Zakuya said with curious tone.

“Ohh, about that Zakuya-kun, would train my grandchildren?” Lud said in happy tone.

“I would like to, but— “

“I already talk to your leader about this, and he agree to this, so don’t worry.”

After hearing what Lud said, Zakuya just sighed, and agree.

“So, where’s is your grandchildren?” Zakuya said, while holding his bag.

“They were going to transfer in that school tomorrow. Since one of them enroll themselves there, and I already told my grandchildren about this, and anyway don’t worry I never told my grandchildren that you are a Protector.”

“So, what’s their name?” Zakuya said.

“Oh, it was—"

“(Wait, that girl. Don’t tell me!)” Zakuya said in his mind as he sees the girl from yesterday, who ask him to train her to use her magic.

“I’m Kaede Furina, Nice to meet you all.”

“(That’s her!!!)” Zakuya hold his face with his both hands, while his arms are on his table.

After that their teacher told Furina to sit down, Furina nods, and when she went where her table is, she sees Zakuya, and Zakuya wave his right hand with nervous way.

“Y-Yoo…”

“Hmph!!” Furina pouts, and look away, and move where her table is. Furina greet the girl next to her, and she sit down.

“(This is bad… It will be hard to ask her, now that I reject her yesterday.)” Zakuya hold his head, while looking down, to his table.

“(Okay, I’ll sit with her later.)” Zakuya said in his mind.

Now that he has a plan in his mind, Zakuya was confident that he can’t let it off. Then lunch break, Zakuya head to the cafeteria, with a smug in his face. He actually need this job, because he just have a bit of money.

After ordering, Zakuya look where Furina is, while holding his tray of food.

“(There she is.)” Zakuya said in his mind. Zakuya follow Furina to her chair with smug on his face, when suddenly Furina sit on a table where there’s someone sitting. Zakuya stop, and he look at Furina, and Furina sees him, and give him a smug expression, and said— “I’m sorry this table is occupied.” With smug tone.

“(She’s sitting with her friend? That’s fine. I’ll talk to her after class.)” With defeated face, Zakuya went to the other table to eat.

*After Class*

Zakuya follow Furina, he was hiding, because she was with her friend.

“Hey, Furina aren’t eating so many of that.” Her friend said, while looking at her.

“(That girl, she’s familiar to me. But I don’t know why.)” Zakuya said in his mind while watching them.

“You think so? But this is only my second one.” Furina said as she took a bit of the bun she was holding.

“You… Non stop eater!!!” Furina’s friend said, and then she pinched Furina’s belly.

Furina freak out, and she runs away, but her friend is still pinching her belly. After that Zakuya sighed.

“There’s no way, I could approach her with her friend around.” Zakuya said, as he follows Furina, and her friend.

Zakuya follow them, but he lost them, so Zakuya pull out his phone to look at the location that Lud send him. After looking at the location, Zakuya went to the location of the place, where Furina should be.

“Condominium? They were rich right? Aren’t they supposed to live in a mansion?” Zakuya said, because he remembers that Lud the old man was driving a limousine.

“Anyway…” Zakuya approach the condominium, when suddenly Furina’s friend intercept him.

“What are you, stalker?” When Zakuya hear Furina’s friend, he freaks out, but he didn’t move. “You have to go through me, before you get Furina.” Furina’s friend said, as she looks at Zakuya, with killer look. “Go home, already.” Furina’s friend look at Zakuya with piercing look. While Zakuya was looking straight.

Zakuya close his eyes, as he said— “That’s what I’m doing.”

“Heh?! Really?!” Furina’s friend said, while her arm is in her mouth.

After that Zakuya walk slowly towards the automatic door. When Zakuya sees that the door is about to close, he suddenly run.

“!!! AH!!! I KNEW IT!!!” Furina’s friend said, as she sees Zakuya run.

Zakuya sees that Furina enters the elevator, and that elevator, is going to the 26th floor. Knowing that Furina’s friend will get him, Zakuya took the stairs immediately, and he run until he reaches the 26th floor.

When Zakuya gets to the floor 26th, Furina sees him.

“Hey! Wait!” Zakuya said.

“Huh?! What are you doing here?” Furina gets on her fighting stance, when she sees Zakuya, and she gets her fist cover with water.

“Get out of here, now! We have a trainer, who will arrived at any moment now, so leave!” Furina said, while she was raising her fist.

“I know, because the trainer… was me.”

When Furina hear what Zakuya said she was shocked, and she gives a shocked expression.

“I-I refused!!!” Furina said, while she shakes her head left, and right, and then she looks at Zakuya with angry look.

“Do you really think, I have other choice?” Zakuya said, while walk closer to Furina.

And Furina give up.

“No way.” Furina said, as she falls down to the floor.

After that the elevator opened beside Zakuya.

“Where did that creep go?”

When Zakuya hear the voice, he was shock, and look back, and he see Furina’s friend.

“Ohh!!! There you are your creepy stalker!!!” Furina’s friend said, as she raises her both hands.

“Stop it, his going to be our trainer.” Furina said.

“HEH?!” Furina’s friend said.

“I see your friend is staying over.” Zakuya said with confused tone. After that Furina stand up, and look at Zakuya.

“No, she’s not my friend. She’s, my sister.”
