Hello everyone, and welcome to Godly Assistant Kuro!. This time, my SI will join Negi's ha-assistant groups in helping him dealing with his 'normal life' troubles along with his class. SO! You will see a lot of details being similar to the other stories (such as Sonic the Magister Hedgehog and Saiyan in Mahora; I have only read these two and I'm sure there are more with the same kind of storyline).
Before reading this, there are a few reminders about word styles:
Normal story telling
The Creator speaking
The Observer speaking in his realm
Kurome Ankokuboshi speaking in T.O's realm
Important details
"Speaking"
'Thinking/Telepathy'
*Sounds of actions*
I think that's enough. If there are more, then I will add in the future. For now, enjoy the first chapter everyone!
"Well, that's unexpected." Muttered the old man, as he just watched then scene before him.
Just a normal day at the popular academy, located in northern Tokyo of Japan. It was just about 6 AM in the morning, as the old man was walking around to breathe the morning air. Although, that's the outside look.
Yes, that was his first intention, however, due to some…disturbances he felt around the World Tree, so he headed straight to it to see the problem by himself. At first, he didn't see anything wrong, aside that the World Tree glowed in a brighter light than usual. He dismissed it, since he knew it's that year again, when the tree started gathering magic in it again spreading it to the areas around it. Although, when he was about to leave, he sensed an appearance of magic from above… A large concentration of Dark Magic, but with tints of Light as well. He immediately looked up, and saw something falling from the sky. That thing wasn't directed at him, but he still had to be cautious. Then the thing was closer, he had a better look of it, and it was not something he expected.
The figure was of human, but it had three pairs of wings on its back, with right side being angel-like, while the left ones reminded him of vampires. Upon closer look, that's a male, with white spiky hair. The old man couldn't get a good look on his face, all he could see was the red circle vision on his left eye, along with a white-black mask covering his mouth. What surprised him is that he's not exactly wearing clothes, but rather an armor suit, with the color being white-black like the mask. Despite the hostile-looking, he didn't carry any types of visible weapons, and he's closing his right eye, so either he was unconscious, or…
The man's visible eye snapped open, and the old man took a fight stance to prepare the worse case scenario. But the falling man didn't care about him, as he flipped in the air so that his feet's facing the ground. And when he's only a meter above the ground, his wings gave out a powerful flap, creating a whirlwind in his place, forcing the old man to raise his arms up and cover his face. When the wind died down, he looked at the stranger's eye, to see it's black with a power symbol replacing his pupil.
"Well, that's unexpected…"
The stranger noticed the old man, as the later took stance again, but the stranger didn't react to it. Instead, he closed his eyes and moved his head up to the sky… "Don't ever do that again." The man's voice indicated that he's just around his twenty, but his tone showed that he's too used to this stuff.
Then, a light occurred… and standing before the old man, a boy in his early twenties replaced the cyborg-like man, with black hair and normal black eyes with black glasses. Aside from the lab coat, white shirt and black trousers and shoes, he looked exactly like a normal Asian.
The boy then walked to the old man, with his hands in surrender mode. "Sorry, Headmaster Konoe, I didn't expect myself to meet you in this situation. My original idea was to meet you in your office, but my bastard of a friend decided to drop me from the sky. Hope that didn't startle you too much." Now he's talking with a bit of joking and childish tone.
Seeing he's not a threat, for now, the Headmaster lowered his arms and put them behind his back. "It's okay. But such kind of power is not easy to be ignored. And I don't want my students to be in danger of any kinds."
The boy nodded. "Yeah, I know that feeling. Anyway, can we take the conversation in your office? We shouldn't draw attentions to ourselves now, should we?"
The old man decided that there's no longer danger, that he laughed. "Oh, of course! Let me lead you…" Only to see the boy to flick his left fingers…
And both of them were already in his office. Upon seeing the old man's face, the boy just chuckled. "Sorry, but you're going to see things even stranger than this in the future."
The old man decided to temporary dismiss it and sat in his chair. "Okay then. Young man, it's a bit late, but let me be the first one to welcome you to Mahora Academy." "Thanks for your greetings. Now, I think an introduction is in need. I have known you as the Headmaster, so I will introduce myself first." He then pulled out a chair from thin air, which made the Headmaster raise his eyebrows in surprise, and sat on it. "My name is Kuro Orleans, although that's my fake name. And don't worry, I have to hide it not for myself, but for my family."
'So this man is a wanted man?' "Why?" "I will reveal it in the future, but rest assure, I'm not a criminal of any kinds." The old man nodded. "Anyway, I'm here for a purpose. If I'm right, the 10-year-old teacher is here already, right?"
'He knew about Negi?' "And may I ask if that's the truth?" "Nothing serious. I just want to ask you to add myself to your staff, as the teacher's assistant." … "And… may I ask why?"
… "You and I both know, who his father is, right? And his current objective in his mind? To find him." "If that's a yes, then what?" "His father, Nagi, has gained tons of enemies, and Negi himself has inherited a lot of magic from him. During the young boy's journey, he will face a lot of dangers. And I'm here, to give him and his students necessary protection, and maybe give him a few trainings in the future."
From the tone of the boy, the Headmaster knew one thing: this one has seen many things from his past, and the experiences he gained has steeled his mind to an unbelievable level. But he even knew the young boy's father, meaning…
"May I ask, young man, how old are you?"
The boy then chuckled. "Do you want an honest answer? If it's a yes, then I have to ask the question back at you first before I would say mine."
The old man was a but dumbstruck, but he humored the young man's request: "I'm about to reach a century old. You?" "I'm over that point already."
… 'What kind of creature is he?' "You are not human, are you?" "Was, to be exact. Due to some…circumstances, my body stopped aging… to be frank, I'm already dead."
"…So you are a ghost?" "A ghost that possessed his own body. And… well, I will explain more. But, I was from Earth, another Earth from another universe."
Eyes widen, the old man leaned closer to the young man, no, this person is older than him... "You mean there's another Earth?" "Where magic doesn't exist, but still acknowledged." "Through fairy tales and legends?" "Something like that."
The old man sat back to his chair, closed his eyes and thought about the situation at hand. True, Negi is qualified as a teacher, but he's still inexperienced, and he's going to need more helps than just from his students. This person also knew enough about Negi, and he's willingly to help him. Unless the man has hidden motivations…
"I do have it." The old man snapped his eyes open. "I can hear your thoughts, sorry about that. But, those motivations are not deadly as you thought. To ease your fear, there is one thing I can say to you: In Negi's current class, there are people that I care about, and I need to tell them some truths. Also, I'm here to find a few people I have lost contacted with a while ago."
'So that's why.' "I see. But, you can tell me who they are. I can help you with that." "Sorry Headmaster, but I don't even know who they are now."
… "Meaning?" "Have you heard of reincarnation?" "…Yes." "This is something I can only do alone. However, I don't have to worry about it too much, since it's not exactly a big deal."
… The old man sighed. Currently, this man didn't let out any flaws for him to counter it. "If all of what you said was the truth, then I will grant it. You can be young Negi's assistant from now on."
"Thank you very much for your understanding." The person stood up, with the chair disappeared, and said: "I will return in about an hour. Sorry about disturbing your sleep." The Headmaster looked at the clock on the wall, and it's pointing at 6:30. "Oh, right, a bit too soon… Wait." Just reaching to the doorknob, the man looked back. "How should I address you? Clearly you're older than me…" He just laughed. "Don't worry about it. Just call me Kuro or Orleans, though I suggest you calling me the former, since my last name is from someone else."
The man then walked out of the office, as the old man stroke his beard and thought about the conversation he just had. "So, another person stepped in the journey… Never mind, he said he would tell more in the future. Now…" He pulled one of the drawers and took out a paper. "… I forgot to ask him where he is, was from. Earth is not exactly right to write down here…"
Chao Bao Zi outdoor restaurant
"Heard this place is popular with everyone. Better check it out for myself." Kuro said to himself as he walked to the direction of the train. Since it's a bit early in the morning, so not many people were seen here. He then met the owner of the place, Chao Lingshen. "Oh hello! Welcome to Chao Bao Zi! I haven't seen you around, are you new here?" "Yes, I am. I heard this place is a good restaurant, and I'm a little bit hungry from 'my work'…" "Then you're in the right place! What do you want to order?" Kuro looked around, and noticed a delicious-looking dish. "May I have that, please?" "Of course! Just wait for a moment, please." The man nodded, as Chao started telling the chief, Satsuki Yotsuba, to make the ordered. Kuro himself then pulled out a piece of paper and wrote down something with his pen, then pocketed the paper and received the dish he ordered from the chief herself. He thanked the girl and started enjoying it…
After the meal…
"Thanks for the food. It lives up with your reputation." Kuro said to Chao, as he pulled out the necessary amount of money and gave it to the girl, as she happily accepted it. But before the girl went away… "Oh, before that, miss. Here…" He gave the girl the folded paper he just wrote. The girl just winked at him playfully. "A number to me? You sure know how to…" Only for a few seconds later after reading what it wrote, the smile faded away and replaced by a horrified look, as she looked up and planned to ask the man, only to find out he's gone.
"No…No…" She mumbled to herself, as she read the paper again to see if she was wrong or not… Only to pocket it immediately as another customer ordered the food. 'Dealing with Negi is already hard enough, now I have another trouble to solve if I don't want my plan in this year ruined by him…'
The Plaza before World Tree
Kuro stretched his arms up. "That's a good prank on her. But, kinda felt bad after receiving that delicious food from her. Gonna apologize her later on." He said to himself, as he finished stretching, and he looked at the World Tree. "Man, a tree surviving for that long. Even with magic, it's still a great feat to reach…" And he continued watching it while walking aimlessly…
That he accidentally crashed on someone. Luckily, with good reflex, Kuro managed to hold the person's hand before she fell on the ground. Turned out it's Makie Sasaki.
"Sorry miss, I didn't see you there." "Ah! It's alright sir, I'm not hurt… Um…" She then fixed her stand and started watching him from head to toe. "What is it, miss?" She finally recognized what she's doing, as she's stammering: "I'm sorry! It's just… you look so young, and yet you're speaking like an old man."
Kuro just chuckled. "Are you saying I'm old? I'm a bit hurt." She immediately bows apologetically. "I'm sorry! I was just…" He just rubs her hair, making her look up. "I'm just kidding. Anyway, were you in a hurry or not?" She then remembered: "Oh right! I have to go to somewhere now! Bye!" And she just rushed off without another word. Kuro's smile remained in his face. "Ah, youth…" He then checked his watch. "Better return to the Headmaster… by foot this time."
The Headmaster's Office
"A person like him is going to help me?" Negi exclaimed. The Headmaster nodded. "You heard me right. And I'm sure he's heading here now. You will meet him…" *Knock knock* "Come in." Kuro opened the door and walked in. "Hello mister Konoe. I hope you have explained the situation to mister Springfield, correct?"
A nod was a confirm. Kuro then reached his right hand out and introduced himself: "My name is Kuro Orleans, though please call me Kuro, it's better this way. I hope my help will be useful for you from this point onwards." Negi shook the hand and replied: "My pleasure as well. But, would it be rude that I call…" "Orleans is not exactly my last name, so Kuro is better to call me." "Alright, if you want so."
"Mister Kuro." He turned to the Headmaster, as he gave out the paper. "There are some blanks I can't fill in. Can you do it please?" Kuro nodded and received the paper… "Ah, these pieces of information. Yes, it is a bit hard to fill it without my help." After the filling: "Here it is, sir Konoe." "Thank you. You two can leave now."
During the walk to Negi's High Class 3-A
"So, how much do you know about my father, sir Kuro?" "Please, no need to call me sir. And for your question, sorry, but I only know as much as you are. However, I know some of his connections, and I can help you finding them." "Thank you. But, wouldn't it be unfair? I mean, it seems you gain nothing from helping me." "*Chuckle* No, there's nothing, but that's from your point of view. To me, helping people like you is what I dedicate myself to." "People like me?" "Innocent people, good heroes, etc." … "What more do you want to know?" "*Whisper* Are you a mage?" "*Look around, and whisper back* A magic user, not exactly a mage. I use magic with no rules to follow." "What do you mean?" "Well, it's for future matter. For now, we're here."
Just minutes before…
"Hey, Asuna, do you know where Negi-sensei is?" The reporter of the class, Kazumi Asakura, asked the person that's closest to their home-teacher. "I think he's in the Headmaster's office. He said that he's going to meet a person who's going to be his assistant teacher."
"For real? Why would we need one?" "Who knows? I was surprised too. But, I think we will know soon enough. Negi should be heading back now."
"Though, an additional teacher in the middle of the semester? Do you think it's strange?" The granddaughter of the Headmaster, Konoe Konoka, asked her best friend. "You didn't know?" "No. He said nothing about this even till yesterday. It must be something urgent to have a new person to look after our class." Then she noticed an activity around the door leading into the class. "Fuka, are you trying to prank our new teacher? Remember the last time we did it to Negi-sensei?" "I know, but I'm sure this time the new teacher is not a ten-year-old." The heterochromatic girl sighs. "I hope it's not as bad…"
And after the prank being set up, they returned to their seats and waited… only to see their homeroom teacher opening the door… The prankster gasped in surprise, as everyone was expecting the blackboard duster to drop on the young teacher's head…
"A little dangerous there, mister Springfield." A hand showed up and grabbed the duster just above the teacher's head, as everyone breathed out in relief. The young teacher turned back as the hand gave him the object. "Oh, it's just a little prank, but thank you. Can you stay out for a bit?" A silence, then Negi walked in and stood at where he could see the whole class. "Everyone, we will have a new assistant teacher today. He will be helping me for the rest of my career at our school, so please take care of him. You can come in now."
The man himself walked in the class, and the students took a good look at the new teacher. He seemed… normal-looking, nothing very special about him, aside from how young he is, he is at max only around his twenties or so. One noticeable thing is that he's wearing a lab coat of all things, not even Hakase Satomi would wear it when she's not in a place rather than her laboratory. No spiky weird-color hair, no… wait, are those rings in his left fingers?
He then bowed before the class, and introduced himself: "Greetings, everyone. My name is Kuro Orleans, and from now on, I will be helping Negi taking care of your class. Hope we can work well with each other in the future."
And that earned him a little shriek of fan-girling from some of the students. While he's not very attractive, his voice and the actions are the real kickers. After the introduction, Kuro looked up to see the reporter right in front of him with her microphone ready. "Hello, Kuro-sensei. I'm Asakura Kazumi, the reporter of class 3-A. Do you mind letting me interview you?" The man just chuckled. "Sure, go ahead. Though, if it's too sensitive, then I would have to deny answering them, sorry."
"Of course, it's not going to that point. Okay, first, how old are you?" "About twenty-five." "Really? You are that young?" "Hey, your friend there even called me old…" "I'M SORRY, OKAY?" All students turned back to see a red-face Makie. "Wait, you met him?" "Just this morning, I just stumbled into him while having morning exercises."
"That makes sense. Okay, next, where are you from?" "Vietnam, the capital city to be more specific." And that earned another surprise 'eh?' from the girls. "Wow, do you have any specific reasons to work as an assistant in Japan?" "To be honest…" Kuro now scratched his neck with his right hand. "I'm a fan of manga and anime, so I learnt Japanese just to read them. A bit lame, sorry if that disappointed you."
"Nah, don't worry. You might be the top buyer for our manga artist here." The reporter pointed her thumb to Haruna, as she's waving her hand to greet Kuro, and he greeted it back. "So, what's your favorite color?" "Black and White." "And what kind of girls do you like?"
Kuro, instead of answering the question, pointed his right index finger to a person. Asakura turned to see who he's pointing to… "Nodoka?" The girl herself shrieked in surprise, as she's using her book to hide her red-face. The reporter turned back, her eyes showing that she wanted the answer. "Yeah, I'm not joking. I really like shy girls, because it's worth to try and see her cute sides. Besides, I'm not a fan of lousy places, so my attentions are into girls that can be attractive just by her short, simple, but full of meaning words." That made the students 'aw' at his explanation, as the reporter giggled. "I think you already got a girl crushed on you already." Kuro just chuckled. "I hope it's not that soon." "Sure it is. Anyway, last question, what's up with the rings in your left fingers?"
Now that caused the girls' full attention, as many of them have gathered around the assistant teacher. Kuro raised the said hand up. "Oh these?" "Yes. I know some boys like to wear jewelry, but they look very expensive and bright, like they're trying to catch attentions to themselves."
Kuro just laughed at her words, causing her to look at him in confusion. "What's wrong?" "Well, if you can answer this question, then you will know why I'm wearing them." That earned him murmurings from the others, as Asakura answers: "Sure, go ahead." "What's the occasion when you wear a ring in your ring finger?"
That made the girls turn silence for a second, before discussing with each other about this… "Hey, do you know why?" "I can only guess, but not so sure." "Is that a special event of sort?" "Maybe."
"Alright!" Kuro clapped his hands to get their attentions. "How about we starting our class, then in the end, you can give me the answer? Do you agree?" The students thought about it for three seconds, before nodding as they returned back to their seats. Kuro turned to Negi. "I think it's over. Let's get the first lesson started, shall we?" "Okay, Kuro-sensei!"
During the lesson, Kuro used a bit of his magic to hear the girls speaking to each other. Yes, he's aware that the girls were speaking in class, but he decided not to say anything, since he's the same before, and from his experiences, if you didn't do so in the class, then you have never known how a student would work. He's helping the young teacher in explaining some of English quotes then he noticed the whispers got louder. Okay, while he admitted he was like that, didn't mean he would let it be too loud. He picked a small piece of chalk up, and flicked it right at Asakura's forehead, causing her to yelp in pain. "I know that you're trying to find the answer, but keep your voice down please. I don't want the question affecting your study." After the girl apologized, he nodded and gestured Negi to continue his lesson…
After the lesson…
"You're married, aren't you?" That's the question Kuro got when the bell rang, signaling that a period has ended. And the girls have surrounded him as well, waiting for the answer. "And not only one, right? Three rings, three marriages?"
That earned them a shrug from the man himself. Asakura wasn't exactly convinced by her own finding, as she asked again: "From your tone, I can't tell if that's the truth. Do you have any evidences?" He decided to pull out his phone and dialed a number, and then he pushed the loudspeaker…
"Oh, Kuro? Have you reached the place you needed to go?" A womanly voice was heard from the other side. Kuro answered: "Yes, I am. But, the girls are doubting that the rings on my hand are just for decorations."
A little giggle was the reply. "Hey now, nobody would believe someone as young as you have already married, right?"
The girls were dumbfounded at the voice, as the reporter had to ask: "Um, miss? What's your relationship with Kuro?"
"Oh? You're using loudspeaker, Kuro?" "Yes, I am." "*Giggle* Alright! Yes, I am his wife. The name's Compa, nice to hear you all!" Then someone shouted on the background. "Oh, sorry Kuro but I have to hang up now. A patient is coming." "It's okay. Have a great day Compa!" And the call ended.
He chuckled at the girls' expressions. "That's one. Unless you want more evidences, I would call more…"
"It's…it's okay…" Asakura can only stammer, as the girls slowly returned back to the seats… and LOUDLY exchanged words with each other, not bothering that their assistant could hear all of them. The man could only chuckle at the scene, as he turned to a surprised Negi. "You…you are married?" "You heard us right." "But, their voices don't sound like…" "Me? That's because they're not from Vietnam…"
"RIGHT! I forgot, but if you're Vietnamese, then why do you have a Japanese name?" The reporter returned. And the answer: "I will tell you all in the future, but now…" The bell rang. "Time for the next class, everyone!"
After all classes ended…
"You wanted to talk with me?" "Yes, Chao. It's about the letter I sent you this morning." Kuro drank his soft drink can, as Chao walked to him and leaned on a wall on the rooftop of the school. Chao glared at the new assistant, but he didn't care. "You said that you will stop me at all causes, huh? Why did you believe you can do so, without any helps even?"
"You're not the only one who has time-traveled, girl." The assistant has dropped the joking tone, replaced by no-nonsense personality. "I'm aware about time more than you are, and I have dealt with time paradoxes a few times. And I have to tell you, those plans of yours, it would cause only more problems than we already have."
"So it marked me as your enemies?" Chao casually spoke back, knowing that she's not getting away soon.
"No." Chao turned her head completely to him, thinking that he's insane or… "Note here Chao, I'm saying I'm stopping your plans of changing the future. I NEVER said anything about interrupting your daily life. Also, I know you're trying to help the world, and normally, I would help you as well, if I didn't know about the consequences behind it. So, as a friend and a senior in this stuff, I advise you to not expose magic out of the normal world."
Only the wind in the air, as Chao measured Kuro, the later just finished his drink and started spinning the can in his hands. Then: "Alright! The serious moment is over!" Chao, from serious to confusion, looked at Kuro stretching his arms up. "My apology about ruining your mood this morning. Not exactly a good idea giving you a challenge just after complimenting about how good the food is." He then looked at the watchtower. "Oh my, time to meet the Headmaster. It's time for me to leave now, Chao. If there's anything you want to ask for help, of course it's not related to your plans, then don't hesitate to ask, okay?"
Snapping out of her shock state, Chao called Kuro back: "Kuro-sensei!" "Hm?" He briefly turned back. "How much do you know about technology?" "Enough to live. Why?" "Hakase is a bit stuck in some projects, and I thought you might be able to help." The assistant put a finger on his chin, then nods. "Okay, when?" "In the weekend, please." "Alright. See you tomorrow." He walked away, but then suddenly stopped. "Um, Kuro-sensei, you forgot something?" "Nah. I'm taking shortcut." He turned one-eighty and ran to the edge of the rooftop, and to the student's surprise, he jumped off the cliff.
"KURO-SENSEI!" Thinking he just committed suicide, she immediately leaned down to see the teacher, only for him to walk out of a pile of leaves, unharmed.
"LEAP OF FAITH, BABY!" He just shouted to the air, satisfaction clearly in his tone. Then he just walked back in and headed to the Headmaster's office.
Chao looked dumbstruck at the stunt her new teacher just did, then just giggled to herself. "Interesting teacher…"
"Letting him go like that isn't a good idea, Chao." She looked back to see Hakase behind her back. She looked up to the sky, and said: "He sounded very confident about stopping me, but it seemed he understood what I'm doing. For now, we will not consider him a threat. Besides…" She moved her head down. "We might be able to create a plan that could fix my old's problems with his help."
The Headmaster's Office
"That's quite a stunt you did then." "Sorry, can't help it when I found out there's a pile of leaves there." Kuro just laughed it off, as the Headmaster just chuckled. "At least you're having fun. So, I want to talk about you staying here. If you're from another Earth, then you might have currency on you, don't you?" "Then how can I pay Chao's food?" "Fair enough. But, may I ask if you can become the girl dormitory's supervisor?" … "Aside from giving me a chance to peep on girls, what's your reason for doing so?" "Would you really do so?" "No." "*Chuckle* Knew so. If you're planning to help Negi as much as possible, then becoming the supervisor would definitely help you with that." "Fair enough. Aside from trying to get me closer to your granddaughter, that's a good reason there" "*Chuckle again* Can't get pass you, huh? But about that matter…" "That's her choice, not mine." "Alright. Also, can you guide the class along with Negi to Kyoto trip?" "Wasn't that in my job description?" "So you knew. I suppose that's the end. You can leave now." "Roger. Rest well, old man." "To you as well."
Ten minutes later…
"Cai dang cach mang nha no! How the hell can I be lost in this place?" Kuro muttered again, after a few round-and-round around the plaza. "No choice but to ask my own student to where…"
"Hey, Kuro-sensei! What are you doing here?" He turned to see his savior, Yukihiro Ayaka. "Ayaka! I need your help!"
The girl now noticed that Kuro's face was a bit red. "What happened to you?" "I can't find the girl's dormitory! For some reasons the map pointed me to wrong places!" He gave the girl his map, as she took a look… and laughed. "Sensei, you're using the old map. No wonder you can't find it." "Oh come on! I know I can't trust it, but I have no other pointers to help me getting there." Kuro started jumping up and down in childish anger, as the girl sweatdrops at her new teacher's current antics. She decided to pat his head, which calmed him down a bit much to her surprise. "I'm heading there now. You can follow me." "Thank you so much, Ayaka!"
"By the way." "What is it?" During the walk, Kuro has turned back to his normal self. "Why do you need to go there?" He raised up a couple of keys. "The Headmaster asked me to be the dormitory's supervisor." "Really? Why?" "Stuffs. I'm here to help Negi with his work, and the Headmaster thought it's a good idea to do so." "… Is that so? No offense, but the Headmaster is…" "Planning to find a fine suitor for Konoka. And I said no to him." "You knew?" "Rumors spreading very fast. Anyway, thanks for leading me here. I'm going to talk to the guard here first." "Oh, right! Have a nice day, Kuro-sensei!"
Conversation with the guard, who's a woman…
"I think it's enough for you to know what we offer in this building." "And for that, I owe you a thank. So, you said before that you need some security checks in the bath hall?" "Yes, however, not many cameras can last for a long time." "Hm…then, can you follow me to my room? I might have something to deal with it." "Then we're even after that." "Sounds so."
Upon reaching the room, Kuro opened the door to see the place. "Hm…not so bad." He then went to the only desk in the room, and pulled out a laptop from nowhere, much to the guard's surprise. "You can use magic?" Kuro briefly turned back, as his hands start opening the laptop. "I thought you knew about magic?" "Yes, I did. The girls here are wild and not so subtle about their activities." "Fair enough. But no, this is not magic, it's technology. We're able to discover pocket dimension and use it to full extension." Kuro then typed some codes, ordering something… and then a yellow thing appeared in midair and floated freely. He then gave the guard a tablet. It opened up and showed what the thing was looking at. "This is Observer. It can cloak itself permanently, and it can detect anything that's hidden from naked eyes. And unless it's damaged, it would survive forever, but it does need light energy to power itself up." The thing beeped up in confirmation. The guard could only gasp in surprise, then said: "I suppose I owe you now." "No, you said it, we're even. How about you take it to the bath hall? I will head there soon, after cleaning this room." The guard nodded and started bringing Observer off the room.
"Now…" Using magic this time, he turned the room into his favor, then he threw the lab coat on the bed, as he laid himself next to it. "Ahhh… What a day… Now, Creator, you can change the style of the story."
Kuro's POV
Thanks for saying so. Seriously, writing the story in past tense, it felt so weird.
Heh, you're just writing it. Besides, now it's the good time to tell me WHY YOU DROPPED ME RIGHT INTO THIS WORLD WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO SLEEP! IT WAS FREAKING 11 PM IN MY PLACE!
He set his alarm wrong, and it's automatic. Go figures.
It's not related to you, The Observer. And don't say a word about this, Kurome.
Why? It's fun. Urgh. You thought this is a punishment for me, didn't you? Of course. Damn.
Aside from that, was the food great? Heh, jealous? Obviously. Yeah, it's good. But can't really beat Compa's homemade. Ah, now I missed them already.
Hey, you called her earlier right? Maybe you can call her again to give you some. Oh right, I could ask her…wait no, you forgot what Creator did to me? Oi! You didn't make the move, so I have to… No more explanations, Creator.
I decide to get up and take out a bathrobe. "Hope this is enough." I hang it on my shoulder and start heading out…
"Oh, Kuro! Observer worked so well! And it even has a few modes with it!" The guard seems to have a lot of fun with the tablet, as she's tapping to anything she can see in it. I chuckle at that. That's like seeing a kid in her favorite candy store. "Night vision, heat vision, even metal detection as well!" Okay, I think you should stop now.
I tap on her shoulder to gain her attention. "I know you're having fun with it, but can you please return to your room for a while, and stop using the tablet for a while?" "But why? I'm having…" Just now she notices the robe on my shoulder. "OH! Sorry, I will be out of the way. Have a good day!" "To you as well."
After that, I get a good view of the hall. I can confidently say that not even 5-star hotels in Vietnam can't even reach to the futuristic this place is. Comparison aside, I really want to take a little rest after what I have done. Four years being a Hunter is very strained and tired.
"AHHH! Now THIS is life." I purr in ecstasy as I sink myself into the hot water in the pool.
Comparing to Gamindustri? Different, yet similar.
"You're lucky you now have free access to this place." "Yeah, I am…" I turn my head to the left to see who's in the pool with me. And I can see a 10-year-old girl, long black hair floating on the surface of the water. Her left eye has a cursed symbol in it. "… You have free access to ANY places." "But it's not fun." "Never mind. If you're here just to enjoy, then go ahead. I'm going to sleep now." I dip myself deeper into the water, to the point my head's completely in it. Then I close my eyes and start getting into the dreamland…
…
…
*SMASH!*
Something just hit me in the head. I open my eyes, to see a worried Asuna shouting something to me. Seeing that I'm awake, she immediately pulls me up (I made my body heavier than a car when I was sleeping, so no one can pull me up) and off the water. After we're out of the pool, I now see a worried Negi as well. And of course, Asuna shouts at me: "What were you thinking, Kuro-sensei? Are you trying to kill yourself down there?" And Negi follows: "I thought you were having fun with us all, and you even said…"
"Did I look like I'm planning to kill myself soon?" That shuts them up temporarily. "For your information, I was SLEEPING down there, since I got teleported here from eleven in the night to six in the morning, and then I have been interacting with you all till now. Negi, I think you understand how tiresome it is."
Asuna counters: "But you could have slept in your room… speaking of which, why are you here anyway? Where are you staying now?" "The Headmaster told me to be this dormitory's supervisor. That much is enough for you to know. And tell that ermine of yours to stop hiding in the bush, Negi."
I turn myself and look directly at the place, and a few seconds later, said ermine runs back to Negi's side, as Asuna asks in surprise: "How did you know he was there?" "Magic."
Negi then exclaims: "Right! You know magic, so you casted a spell on you to breathe in water, right?" "No." And that makes him dumbfounded at my answer.
"I can sense a lot of magic in you, even more than Evangeline. What are you?" Now that ermine, Chamo, speaks up, since he knows I already knew about magic. I just sigh and wear the bathrobe that comes out of nowhere and stand up. "Future matters. Now, unless you don't mind it, then you better finish your shower fast, since the girls start heading here already." I then walk to the door, but then stop as Asuna holds my hand. "Wait! I'm not forgetting about that! You have to explain how you survived down there!"
… "How about tomorrow? I'm a little bit tired, and I need to fill some papers before hitting the bed. See you soon." I use magic to phase my hand through hers, and walk out of the bath hall…
And I greet Ayaka. "Oh, Kuro-sensei! I see you have enjoyed our bath hall! How do you feel?" "Great. It's been a while since I last went to a hot-spring, and the bath hall is that good." "*Giggle* Thought so. Oh, is there anyone inside?" "Negi and Asuna. They are…" "WHAT? NEGI-SENSEI AND ASUNA ARE IN THERE? I'M NOT LETTING HER GETTING A CHANCE TO GET CLOSE TO MY DEAR TEACHER!" And she rushes in without another words, much to my amusement. "Youth."
The supervisor's room
Man, what a day.
Asuna and Negi were extremely scared when they found out you were down there. They tried to pull you up for three minutes straight, even with Negi's magic.
Yeah, that's why I will explain the necessary information to them. By the way, are there any problems when I'm gone?
Not exactly. Though, Clem is still constantly teleporting here. For? Probably want to meet Negi. Huh? Negi is around her age, right? And both of them use magic. Around… *Finger counting* Right… DON'T YOU DARE, CREATOR! Hey, hey! That's her life! I just introduced him to… Damn you! I already have the class to deal with, don't make my problems more troublesome!
"Hmm. Just accept it, Kuro. Your family just gets…" "Don't remind me again, Death. Also, why are you still here? I don't think there's anyone to be nearly killed tonight." "But I smelt blood." "Blood…" I get up from the desk and go to the calendar… "…Nope. Not tonight. Nope, nope, nope… Urgh, curse my luck!" I take the lab coat and run out of the room and head to the Cherry Blossom Street…
"WOW! The first day at the new school, and you already suicided twice!" "Hey! That wouldn't kill me that easy Ruby!"
"Then what happened next?" "That time, I thought I have passed the point of Eva attacking people in the full moon. Turned out I had to deal with it with Negi. And it's not pleasant, Weiss."
"The Headmaster sounded a bit like the one from Charlotte's world." "Ah that, not really. He would only joke a bit, and nothing else. And he's not into stuffs like you, Blake." "*Blush* Don't remind me!"
"Will you continue the story?" "Maybe later, Yang. You guys have classes in about ten minutes, right?"
"Alright, everyone! After classes, we will gather in team RWBY's room and listen to Kuro's glorious stories! BANZAI!" "BANZAI!"
