Hello everybody! This is a new story as you may notice which is inspired by the AUmagic from Iunui on Tumblr. Let's get on with it!

"We need to recruit more people today. We just simply need to join the Magic Games the next year. But how?!" Endou Mamoru, a 16 year old school dropout, was talking to his friend Kino Aki. Ever since he knew about his grandfather's past and his magic guild, he wanted to build his own one and help others and participate in the Magic Games. There was a begin line though, every guild that wanted to partake in the games had to have at least 10 members. And to add on that three of those members had to have a class level of B or higher.

"Endou, I know it seems pretty hard but, look at how far we've already gotten! We've already recruited 7 members. That is a lot compared what most beginning guilds reach within the first few weeks." Aki, who was juggling school at the same time as this guild team at the mere age of 16, patted Endou on the back. She sat down on the bench and looked him reassuringly in the eyes. "And, more importantly we need to keep-"

"Fighting. Yes. I know, but it's just so hard! It would've been a bit easier if Kazemaru would join. He already has a confirmed B-class clearance. Maybe I just need to ask him a few more times. Sounds right?"

"Haha, maybe,' Aki giggled, she was always good at reverting the captain back to his 'go-lucky-mood. 'after you've given your heads-up to the rest of the team, then you can go ask him. They too would find it nice to see how far away we are from actually joining."

"I will, we're almost at the guild. And well, not really anything has changed since the last meeting three days ago so that'll make it brief. Then I can go ask Kazemaru!" Endou cheered as excited as he was before his little slump and started sprinting towards the guild house. Or more like an older, abandoned, oversized shed. Still, it is one of his favourite places to be. He threw the door open, knocking the wooden board with the Guild name engraved on it over and expected to be greeted enthusiastically by his friends. Oh dear, what was he wrong.
Two of the seven other guild members hadn't shown up yet. One was laying down and eating some snacks. The left over three were all sitting around the table and watching one of them play a game.

"How long have you guys been here? And where are Handa and Kageno? And, did we recruit another person? And what are you guys even- "

"Wow, calm down with the questions, Endou. Nobody wants to join so we kinda just thought relaxing would be the best thing to do right now." Someoka groaned, not showing his displeasure about the fact that their Guild wasn't really that popular that they were struggling to get members.

"Yeah, it might even be in consideration to just give the Magic Games idea up." Kurimatsu added nonchalantly. Leaning a bit back on his chair trying not to tip backwards whilst concentrating more in his game than on the person who he should be talking to.

"Also Handa and Kageno are hanging up posters for our guild, so it is not like we're doing nothing. You know, group effort." A slightly dozing off Kabeyama mumbled.

"GUYS, DO YOU EVEN TAKE THIS GUILD SERIOUSLY?! We are going to participate in the Magic Games and we are going to get enough members in time! Just have a little bit of faith! Our 8th member will soon join and he is a B-class mage." This little outburst brought some life in the building. Someoka looked up and raised an eyebrow. Most definitely curious about who the B-class would be. "It's Kazemaru if any of you are wondering."

"Did he agree then,' Someoka asked with a slight pause. Now even Kurimatsu and Shourinji stopped paying attention to the game and started focusing on their captain. 'or haven't you asked him yet?"

"Well, uhm, he hasn't fully agreed yet. But, I am really positive about it." Endou threw one of his crazy big smiles and pointed at the poster of the Magic Games. "Soon, we'll have enough members. Just you guys wait and see, and we'll show the whole world what the Raimon Guild can do!"

And with that he was gone as fast as he came inside. Carefully closing the door this time and hanging the board back. Greeting Aki on his way to the track field who now just arrived at the Guild house.

"How'd it go?"

"They're not as excited as they were in the beginning. I gave them a pep talk and Handa and Kageno are hanging posters around town. No more time to explain going to ask Kazemaru to join!" With that Endou disappeared for the second time that day whilst they were talking. Or more like he was already running when he was at the midst of his last sentence. Aki sighed, now she, too had to give a small pep talk of her own to these guys.
