Prologue

A girl with bright, bubblugum pink hair sat with just a calico kitten for company in a dark room. All that was in there was the table ther were sitting at, a bed, a dresser, a bookshelf filled with magical aid books, and a desk with a computer. The kitten rubbed up against the girl's hand to cheer her up.

She looked at her with a smile, but it was obvious that she was holding back tears because one accidently slipped out. Outside of the doorway, she could hear voices. They said things like, "Stupid girl," "She's been held back for five years now," and "What will the dean do with her?"

After a while, the door opened and the dean walked in. She was a pretty, young woman in a suit top and pencil skirt. She looked really strict, but her smile and the warmth in her eyes told the pink-haired girl different. Suddenly, the smile disappeared.

"Carmen. This is getting ridiculous. I don't know what else but to do this," the dean sighed, handing her a slip of paper. 'Negi Springfield, Mahora Academy,' is what was writtened on the paper.

"Negi Springfield?" Carmen asked.

"He's a mage that is studying in Japan. He is the son of thousand master and said to be very strong. He'll be your new tutor," the dean explained.

"But none of the other tutors worked!"

"I'm hoping that a kid near your age will work better for you," the dean explained and sighed. "I really hope this works. I want a report back every month on your progres, ok?"

Carmen nodded, and the dean left the room, closing the door. All she could do was stare at the little sheet of paper. The calico slipped out from under the table. She licked her paw lightly, bringing it over her ear, and mewed, "There's something I don't like about her. I just can't put my paw on it."

Carmen fiffled, "You worry too much, Star." She touched the star-shaped patch on the kitten's forehead.

"I'll keep my ere out anyway," Star said. She padded past her. "Well, you better start packing if you want to leave for Japan as soon as possible." Carmen stared at her. Then she nodded and smiled.
