It was an average afternoon in the clubroom. Miss. Suzumiya smiled brightly, sitting in her brigade leader chair. All was well, well, as well as well is on this well evening, which isn't very well. I looked towards Miss. Asahina, who was looking rather gloomy today.

"Miss. Asahina, are you alright?" I curiously enquired.

She fidgeted a bit but soon a response gave way. "It's nothing, well, not something I can explain this second. Listen, could you uh... stay after the meeting for an important discussion. The rest... excluding Miss. Suzumiya, will be there," she whispered to me.

I looked over to our brigade leader, who was fidgeting with some chopsticks. She split it into two perfectly and smiled. "You know, I read somewhere that if you split chopsticks perfectly then good luck shall appear. What do you think about it?" she asked me. What kind of advice is that? Doesn't she know that you shouldn't believe everything.

"You're being superstitious; chopsticks don't have the sort of magic to do things like. Besides, even if that were true, don't you think it would blow out of proportion?" I stated. "Besides, let's say luck and karma were solid stuff. At that point, everyone would have too much good luck and our world just wouldn't be the same. If I have to add, it would probably be too boring."

Haruhi looked a bit annoyed. "Whatever. Anyway, did you hear the news. We're getting a new transfer student. She's apparently from Mitakihara Town. Do you think she's supernatural? What if she's another esper, or maybe a witch. Better yet, what if she's hiding secrets?" Haruhi blurted with feelings of being ecstatic.

"That would be a rather interesting scenario," Koizumi added, who was sitting on the opposite side of the table. Haruhi smiled a bit which prompted another tidbit from the esper. "Perhaps we should invite her into our clubroom."

"That's a great idea Koizumi! That's our goal for today; to find out where this transfer student is and make her join our club," Haruhi disclosed. That's great, already five minutes and Haruhi's ready to kidnap people. Still, I'm actually kinda interested in who this TF is as well. I decided to pack my stuff and leave the clubroom, but then I just remembered that I needed to stay.

Nagato, Koizumi, Miss. Asahina and I all waited for Haruhi to leave the room. Once she left Nagato sat beside Koizumi and Miss. Asahina sat beside me. I folded my arms and looked towards Nagato. "Hey, do you know what this is all about?"

"Indeed," Nagato replied. What a straight answer, even if it's not exactly what I'm looking for...

"Could you shed some light then? I'm a little in the dark about this whole situation," I asked.

"Fine. The biological lifeform Miss. Suzumiya referred to as a transfer student is indeed a magical property. We've arranged for her to come into this room exactly 15 seconds from now in order to gather intel on her abnormality," Yuki stated.

Soon, a girl entered the room. She had blonde hair and was wearing an Aviator hat. Her clothes included a sweater with a spike design and a green skirt. Her face looked very innocent but at the same time also really sad.

"So..." I began. "What's your name?"

She looked directly towards me with a glare. "Niko Kanna is what you shall refer to me as."

"Great... so, what brings you to our clubroom?"

"Isn't it obvious? There's a tear, so I have to find it."

"What's a tear?"

"Oh!" Mikuru interrupted. "I can answer that... actually, I can't technically answer it, due to classified information. But if classified information was in classified information, then maybe I could classified information."

"Maybe I can shed some light," Koizumi added. "Miss. Kanna is what we in the organization call a magical girl. She hunts these beings known as witches and that's about all I know."

I looked at Koizumi. The things he's saying is crazy, so I must interject. "I'm sorry, but that sounds like something out of a story."

Koizumi simply smiled with his annoying smug face. "I guess you could say that is the case actually, well, most of the case anyway."

"Miss. Kanna has a special ability. She can manipulate data and change it's properties immediately," Nagato stated. "The effects that ensue will leave repercussions on the future though, manifesting itself in the form of the 'Butterfly Effect'."

Niko then grabbed a pencil from her pocket and turned it into a box of pocky. "It's a very unusual ability but the use has it's advantages. Do you wish to see a demonstration?"

"No thanks, you just showed me your ability," I stated.

"Um..." Mikuru began. "Can your ability..." Miss. Asahina came closer to Niko's ear and whispered something into it. "I'm sorry for asking."

"It's okay," Niko stated. "And yes, it can do that definitely."

Do what!? How is Miss. Asahina chatting so non-nonchalantly to this... magical girl. It's clear that she isn't exactly the most normal of people and if Haruhi accidentally caught wind of her ability then clearly even more magical girls would be appearing. I eyed Niko and looked her up and down, and noticed a black thing in her pocket. "What's that?" I asked.

She looked in her pocket and got out the item. "It's a grief seed. I need to use it to purify my soul gem. Without it I'm basically screwed and turn into the very thing that I'm hunting."

"How do you know this?" I asked.

"Trust me," she replied. "Well... let's just say I seen some really bad stuff..."
