Hello Minna! I was very thrilled to read the reviews for 'Kou Academy.' Thank you very much for reading them. That was my first time posting up a story and I didn't have beta reader either so I was really nervous when I typed it. I know it was kind was strange reading the first chapter, but hopefully my writing skills will improve as I write more stories. Here's a new story that I didn't plan to release until next week since I decided to put up a new chapter or story each week, but since I got impatient due to the lovely reviews I got I just couldn't help myself. So I hope you enjoy 'Magi Kindergarten.'
Chapter 1: Cinderella
It was a normal day at Magi Kindergarten. If you considered the screams of little kids and the sound of broken items normal then it is a normal day for Magi Kindergarten any way.
"Sensei! Sensei! Brother and Sinbad-sama are fighting again!"
A small 5 year old pink haired girl by the name of Kougyoku ran towards her blue haired teacher who is her cousin. The blue haired teacher can't help but sigh as he hears this.
"Not again." The blue haired teacher rushes immediately to the scene of the fight.
"Kouen! Sinbad!" The blue haired teacher cuts in between the two 5 year olds to prevent them from clawing each others throat.
"How many times have I told you? This is a school! You can't fight keep getting into fights like this! What would your parents say if they saw this?"
"But Sensei-" Sinbad whines.
"No buts! You both know better than to fight! What if one of you got hurt?"
"..." As much as they hate to admit it, their blue haired sensei was right.
"I want both of you to write a written apology letter to each other. And no snacks for either of you during lunch."
Both of the 5 year olds only nod in response.
"I believe you two have something to say."
"We're sorry, Hakuryuu-sensei."
"Not to me."
Hakuryuu moves the two 5 year olds face to face.
"I'm sorry..."
"I'm sorry too... that you're such a worthless leader, Sinbad."
"Kouen!" Hakuryuu yells at Kouen.
"Really can't those two get along..." Hakuryuu mutters to himself shaking his head in disbelief at the two children's dislike for each other while watching his students draw.
"Sensei, look at what I drew!"
"Ah, th-that's a very nice picture, Kouha….." Hakuryuu tries to avoid hurting the young boy's feelings wondering what the heck he drew.
"You like it! It's a picture of Brother En massacring all of Sindria and Sinbad!" Kouha announces proudly with his head up high.
Hakuryuu can't help but let out a sigh in response to Kouha's declaration.
Hakuryuu would normally be concerned about his student's mental state, but if it's Kouha then that's just normal. Sometimes Hakuryuu questions if he should reconsider his choice of career or just transfer over to a new day care.
"Hey, Hakuryuu! If you keep on sighing like that, you'll get wrinkles like the Old Hag!"
"I don't have wrinkles! And I'm not old!"
"Is that so? Cuz I see a couple of them on your forehead."
"Kya!" Kougyoku runs out of class to the nearest cosmetics store.
"Wait, Kougyoku! There's no need to be rash! You're fine the way you are! I swear your skin is as smooth and soft as any other kid's." Despite Hakuryuu's words of reason, Kougyoku leaves the classroom to make a trip to the only place Hakuryuu can't find her, the girls' restroom.
"Swearing is bad, Hakuryuu."
"Judal, you know better than to say such things! Can't you get along with your classmates?"
"Don't wanna."
"If you keep this up, you won't have any friends when you go to elementary school."
"I guess I'll try to get along with them."
Hakuryuu feels relieved that Judal is actually listening to him for once. Wait! Judal is listening to someone's words! He never listens to anybody! Not even his own parents! Hakuryuu senses something odd about the young magi.
"One on condition….."
And Hakuryuu's bad feeling was right.
"You have to become my waifu!" Judal declares seriously at the young teacher.
…
"Minna, it's story time!" Hakuryuu chose to ignore the little magi as he proceeded to grab a book from the book shelf.
"I want Cinderella!" Kougyoku who suddenly appeared out of no where returns from the girls' restroom wearing a lot of make on her face that resembles that of a circus clown.
"I-I… want to hear about the Red Room curse! Ke!" Kouha says while stifling his laughter.
"The history of Alma Torren." Kouen demands all high and mighty while sitting on his throne which is chair with a cushion and fancy decorations on it.
"Me too." Koumei who is standing next to Kouen seconds Kouen's choice.
"Don't ignore me, Hakuryuu!"
"Cinderella it is." Hakuryuu proceeds to the book shelf leaving Judal by himself while the others are gathering around waiting for their story.
Judal is left alone. He looks over to see Hakuryuu reading to his classmates.
…
"Move!"
After a few moments, Judal joins in with them.
"Once upon time, there lived a young girl named Cinderella. Ever since she was young, she lived with her father. Eventually her father remarried a woman with two daughters. The woman appeared kind and motherly like the mother she never had. That is until her father passed away and stepmother began to reveal her true colors along with her stepsister whom she thought were sweet were actually cruel and cold hearted as their mother."
"The father had bad taste in women." Kouha speaks out his opinion.
"I agree." Koumei agrees with Kouha's opinion.
"A man who marries a woman based on her outer appearance is not fit to rule." Kouen joins in.
Sinbad nods his head in agreement with Kouen despite their dislike for each other.
"Poor Cinderella." Kougyoku is fighting back her tears and runny nose. Alibaba is trying to hold back his tears too. Morgiana just remains silent during the whole time while Aladdin is curious as to why Alibaba and Kougyoku are crying.
"Good thing I have Hakuryuu already."
Hakuryuu just continued on with the story trying to ignore the little kids' interruption especially Judal's.
"After her father's death, Cinderella was forced to do all the housework and wear rags instead of her nice clothes."
"Cinderella should just kill her!"
"What kind of mother does that!"
"How horrid!"
"What a witch!"
"She's the worst!"
"At least I know Hakuryuu can do housework!"
"One day, the king decreed that he would host a party for his son, the prince, in order to find a suitable bride for him. Cinderella was ecstatic to hear about the party and wanted to go. Her stepmother told her that if she finished all the housework she would go. However even though Cinderella finished all the housework, her stepmother didn't allow her to go and left Cinderella at home all by herself."
"Cinderella should just burn the house with her stepmother and sisters inside."
"She has no guilty conscious."
"A proper king is always true to his word."
"What a liar!"
"She's the absolute worst!"
"Alibaba, you already said that." Aladdin says to Alibaba who only turns red with embarrassment at his small use of words.
"Don't worry Hakuryuu, I never go back on my word."
"After her stepmother and stepsisters departed, Cinderella cried in the corner near the fireplace where she sleeps. All of Cinderella's hopes were gone leaving her with nothing but the torn up dress she wore. Then Cinderella's fairy godmother appeared. With her magic wand, Cinderella's torn up dress became a beautiful gown, a pumpkin became a carriage, and the mice were turned into horses and footmen. The fairy godmother told Cinderella that she must return before midnight or else the magic will wear off. Cinderella thanked her fairy godmother before departing to the party promising she'd be back before midnight."
"The fairy godmother should just give Cinderella a chainsaw so she could slaughter everybody at the party."
"Kouha, that's not how the story goes." Koumei reprimands Kouha.
"At least, Cinderella has one ally."
"I would like to add that fairy godmother to my household." Sinbad remarks.
"A fairy godmother…." Kougyoku looks up with a cheerful and hopeful look thinking how nice it would be to have a fairy godmother.
"Alibaba is my fairy godmother." Morgiana adds.
"I'm your what!?"
"You're wrong, Mor! Alibaba is a fairy godfather. He can't be a godmother since he's a man." Aladdin corrects Mor who nods agreement.
"You're right."
"You two!"
"Toto thinks Alibaba is more like one of those footmen mice." Toto added.
"Hey!"
"Hakuryuu, if you want a dress I'll be more than happy to give you one."
"At the party, Cinderella enjoyed herself. She danced with the prince. She ate many kinds of delicious foods that she wasn't normally allowed to eat."
"Just how shitty was that old bat!"
"Kouha, language! There are children here!"
"She should be thankful of her fairy godmother."
"It's good to let loose one in a while." Sinbad says laughing out loud.
"Except you're always like that." Jafar comments on Sinbad's behavior remembering how Sinbad would act during break wooing countless girls.
"I want to eat all that food." Aladdin says while letting out some drool.
"I bet there's a bunch of pretty girls there too."
!
Suddenly Alibaba felt a cold shiver down his spine and a murderous aura behind him.
"What's wrong Alibaba?" Aladdin asks his friend who looks a bit paler than before.
"It's nothing."
Alibaba wants to turn around to see the source of the murderous aura but feels that he shouldn't for the sake of his life. Unbeknownst to Alibaba and Aladdin, their female friend was emitting a dark scary aura around her filled with malicious and jealousy.
"I'd rather eat Hakuryuu's cooking."
"While dancing with the prince, the clock struck midnight. Forgetting about the time, Cinderella rushed out of the ballroom accidentally leaving one of her slippers behind. The prince who was enchanted by the mysterious beauty who suddenly left ordered his servants to look for the girl with the only clue he had: her glass slipper."
"What a stupid way of falling in love." Kouha says mockingly.
"All that work just to look for a girl. If he really did want to know who the girl was, he should have made a list of who were invited and organized it better than inviting some random woman into his party. Really what are the guards thinking?" Koumei doesn't like how disorganized the party especially with the lack of security.
"How romantic! If only I were that lucky…" Hiding her blush with her sleeves, Kougyoku glances off to the side in Sinbad's direction unnoticed by Sinbad himself but immediately detected by Kouen.
A spine tingling chill rolls engulfs Sinbad's entire body. Unaware of who the source of the chill is.
"Prince…." Morgiana says while secretly glancing over to Alibaba.
"Once the prince arrived at Cinderella's house, Cinderella wanted to try on the glass slipper, but her stepmother and stepsisters only laughed at her. Mocking her that if it wouldn't fit them, there was no way it would fit her. Much to their surprise, the slipper had fit her. After searching all over the kingdom for her, the prince proposed to Cinderella and they lived happily ever after. The end."
"What a lousy ending! Cinderella should have ordered to kill her stepmother and sisters. She's a queen now. So she should have the power."
"Just how obsessed with murder are you." Koumei can't help but question his younger brother's obsession with blood.
"Good things come to those who wait." Kouen states.
"That's right. If you're patient, you'll eventually find happiness some time in your life." Sinbad rephrases.
"As expected of Brother and Sinbad-sama." Kougyoku looks at Kouen and Sinbad with eyes of admiration.
"I'm glad Cinderella got the happy ending she deserved." Alibaba smiles cheerfully.
"Me too." Aladdin added.
"Happy ending…." Morgiana said blushing at the thought of Alibaba putting a glass slipper in her foot and then marrying her.
"Hakuryuu, if you wanted to get married then you didn't have to be so roundabout with that stupid Cinderella book, because I'll accept a marriage proposal only from you!"
"Judal, I have absolutely no interest in proposing to you." Hakuryuu deadpans before leaving to put away the book.

"I see so you want me to propose. So that's how it is." Judal says smugly cupping his chin.
"He isn't easily discouraged, is he?" Kougyoku asks.
"Either that or he's too stupid to realize it." Kouha added.
"Maybe both." Koumei says.
"I'd say he's more of a masochist." Kouen remarks.
No matter how idiotic the young magi acts. Kouen, Kouha, Kougyoku, and Koumei all wish Judal the best of luck in trying to win over their cousin.
Omake
"Sensei!" Kougyoku runs towards her blue haired teacher who is cleaning up the classroom. Hakuryuu temporarily stops cleaning to speak with his younger cousin.
"Don't tell me Kouen and Sinbad are fighting again."
"No." Kougyoku shakes her head.
"Judal switched your lunch with a bento box filled with worms?"
"No."
"Kouha isn't beating up his friends again, is he?"
"No."
"Koumei didn't lock himself in the principal's office again, did he?"
"Nope!"
?
"Then what is the issue?" If it wasn't about Kouen, Kouha, Koumei, Judal, or Sinbad, then Hakuryuu had no idea what else it could be.
"Alibaba-chan is lying like a dead man on the flower bed. Everybody is holding a funeral for him. Is there anything you want to give to Alibaba-chan before we cremate his body with Astraroth's flames."
"Eh!"
With that, Hakuryuu rushes to Alibaba's aid. Rather than wonder how on earth did he get hit in the head, Hakuryuu was more curious as what caused him to end up in his current condition after seeing the destruction it caused aside from Alibaba's bump: broken trees and windows, a large crater on the ground where Alibaba was, damaged flower beds, and much more.
Since Hakuryuu was more concerned with Alibaba's condition, he didn't notice Morgiana who was near the accident.
"Mor, why are you only wearing one shoe?" Aladdin asks both of them.
