The Magic Twins Ch. 2: Newfound Fates and Friends
Next Location: At the Main Street café...
"Thanks again back there. Sorry for the late introductions: my name is Maria, Maria von Messina, this girl here is," "Sizilien, von Klode," answered the two girls.
"I'm Shin," Shin says. "And I'm Chin," Chin says.
"Seriously, if we could've used magic earlier, we would've beaten them up back there," says Maria.
"Magic, are you students from the Magic Academy?" asked Chin.
"Ye–well, enrolling there anyway, once we pass the entrance exams together," Maria replies.
"Wow, us too!" exclaimed Shin.
"Really!?" asked Sizilien excitingly. "Magicians with those moves, hardly to believe you know?" retorted Maria, embarrassing the twins.
"Could've sworn you were students from the Knight Academy though. But good luck, 'cause I'm aiming to reach the top score," bragged Maria.
"Well, thanks?" says Chin.
"Heh, not so competitive are ya," Maria says.
"I'm not really the aggressive type though, don't worry," Chin assures, making Maria pout for a moment.
"Well, lets do our best," Shin says giving his hand to Sizilien. "Huh!? Um, uh," Sizilien stutters.
"Hoh, what's the matter Sizilien?" Maria asks. "N-n-nothing at all. Let's do our best, Shin," says the blushing Sizilien.
"So which middle school did you two come from," asked Maria. "Oh, we just arrived at the capital," Chin says.
"Oh! Did you hear then that the Wise Man and the Guru just recently returned to the capital?!" Maria exclaimed.
"Oh, yes! Yes we heard they did...," Shin says slightly downcast.
"Hey what's up, not interested in them!? They are both national heroes that saved us from a Demon years ago! As long as they are in the country, no, the world, they will always be known as living legends!" exclaimed Maria.
"This is too much for us," whispered Chin to Shin. "This, could be the death of us," continued Shin.
"Um, are you two alright?" asked Sizilien.
"Oh um, Maria, do you really like the Wise Man and the Guru so much?" asked Shin.
"'Course I do! Word also has it that their grandson will be attending the Magic Academy!" exclaimed Maria. "Um, I believe that they mentioned that there were two grandsons, I think," said Sizilien. "Even better! Oh wow, how happy am I to thank my lucky stars to be the same age as them!" exclaimed Maria in bliss while making Shin uncomfortable and Chin slightly blush.
"Well um, we better get going, we'll see you some other time," Chin says while putting some notes on the table.
"You mean again at the academy, and we can pay for ourselves you know," Maria clarifies.
"No worries, call it thanks for talking with complete strangers like us," Chin says. "The least we can do, good luck," said Shin.
"Take care!" bade Sizilien to the both of them. "You know, the other one looks somehow like my type, so don't worry about me taking yours," teased Maria. "P-p-p-please keep quiet about it!" yelled the blushing Sizilien. "This is the first time you acted like this Sizilien, hehehe," teased Maria. 'Would be nice if he was one of them at least though,' thought Maria. "How about you, you too barely acted familiar with a boy, much more if he's a stranger...," commented Sizilien. "Now that you mention it...," stuttered the nervously embarrassed Maria.
Time skip: A month later...
Next Location: Outside the Magic Academy...
"It is big as how I imagined it to be," Chin comments. "So this is where all will sit to take the exams," thought Shin out loud.
'If we pass, we can see both Sizilien and Maria again!' thought the twins. "Let's do this Shin!" rallied Chin. "Likewise Chin," said Shin, unknowingly blocking someone's way.
"Hey you, move aside!" says the agitated random student.
"Seems like we're on different rooms, but try not to get too reckless. Granny would kill me if it happens not on my watch," explained Chin. "I'll try not to, hahaha!" assured Shin.
"Hey! You Bastard, stand aside!" the student yelled, tapping Shin's shoulder, only to be in a hind armlock by him, "aaaaggh! Let go of my hand! What are you up to?!"
"Um Shin, release him, he is not worth the fighting, please, it's just a shoulder tap anyway," said Chin.
"My bad, reflexes, but what are you doing grabbing my shoulder with any warning and putting the blame on me?" asked Shin.
"Insolent twerp, I am Kurt von Rietsburg!" barked the student. "Okay, my name's Shin," Shin says, making the people around laugh a bit while Chin covers his forehead while sighing with embarrassment.
"I'll have you know that my father is Count Rietsburg!" Kurt says.
"I'm afraid that you shouldn't state your classes and whatnot since everyone in the academy stays neutral. Am I wrong?" Chin clarifies.
"Yes, that is actually true," says another student with pretty blond hair heading to their direction. "This is no place to threaten or use status to your advantage, or else it is punishment for you," says the blond student.
"Gh, y-you're–," Kurt whispered to himself. "Who is this?" Shin asks.
"So, are you planning to disobey the royal law of the royal family?" asked the blondie.
"N-no! Not at all!" Kurt responded. "Now go, this an entrance exam, please don't disrupt the peace we need to concentrate," the blondie replies. "Y-yes sir, tch," Kurt clicked before leaving the bulletin stand.
"The way you turned his introduction around is quite masterful. You truly are out-of-this-world as I heard you'd be," said the blondie. "Um...," Shin stuttered.
"I am August von Earlsheid, my friends call me Aug," says the blondie. "Wait, Earlsheid!?" Shin exclaimed in surprised. "You have the spitting image as Uncle Dis' son alright," Chin points out, making August laugh loudly and shocking the crowd.
"I have never been called "Uncle Dis' son" before, people usually start kissing up to me when they knew that I'm a prince, but you treated me differently," explained August.
"Well, we treat him as our relative, so that makes you our cousin then," Chin says with glee making August laugh.
"Cousins huh! I like that! Let's hang out later sometime after the exams okay?!" asked August. "Sure, as long as you seem happy about it," said Shin.
"Why are Chin and Shin casually talking with Prince August over there?" asked Maria from afar with the lovestruck Sizilien, "I wonder who are they truly?" Sizilien says.
"But anyway, he's the real problem, to think that he is attending this academy too, better stay aware Sizilien," said Maria glaring at Kurt.
Next Location: Within the academy...
Everyone, including Shin, Chin, and August, taking the written exams are currently in one room.
Time skip: 2 hours later...
"Goodluck, and remember: try not to destroy the place, I won't be around to clean up your mess," says Chin jokingly.
"Shouldn't you do the same too?" Shin backfired making Chin chuckle, "sure, see you in a while."
Next Location: In the Practical Examination room where Shin is...
Shin's Perspective:
"Alright, let's see what all of you can do. Cast your best magic spell with all your might and aim for the targets, you go first," says the proctor to the enrollee next to her. "Yes ma'am!" he says.
'Hmmm, my first time seeing someone other than me using magic, wonder how will he do–,' "All burning flames!" the student yelled, making Shin wonder.
"Gather into my hand and burn my enemies: Fireball!" he chanted throwing a weak ball of flame barely burning the target with a smug face.
'How embarrassing, how embarrassing!' thought Shin lying at the corner. "Ok good enough, next!" yelled the proctor letting another student go.
"Raging waters, whirl into my hand and wash away my enemies: Water Shot!" he yelled shooting a water bullet drenching the target. 'Come on! My Brother Chin can even do far better than that!' thought Shin, making Chin sneeze.
"Dance lightly wind, summon a gust that mows down all: Wind Storm!" yelled another student, summoning a breeze barely pushing the targets. 'This is far too embarrassing to watch already,' Shin thought.
"Great Mother Terra Firma, grant me your strength, form stones to drive away my enemies: Earth Blast!" yelled a female student firing small pebbles barely denting the target while looking self satisfied. 'Why's she looking self-satisfied? What kind of self-deluded magic recital is this?!' Shin thought.
"Um, is something wrong? It's your turn now," says the proctor. "Alright," Shin responds.
"I heard from His Majesty about your power. Keep it under control and try not to destroy the training room," says the proctor. 'Uncle Dis, just what exactly did you tell her?' Shin thought before taking his turn.
'Okay, this should be enough,' he thought summoning a small pale blue flame without chanting. "Whoa what!? Chantless!?" exclaimed the surprised enrollees.
Shin throws the small flame to the targets, exploding one-third of the training room, destroying the targets upon impact. "I thought I told you to control your power!?" asked the proctor. "I did hold back a lot," answered Shin, shocking the other enrollees. "Ahh, I see, thats enough now," says the proctor.
Next Location: In the Practical Examination room of Chin...
Time skip: After the other enrollees took their turn displaying their spells...
'Is this, a nightmare...?' thought Chin, depressed from seeing the others chant their spells. 'Gramps didn't mention how low their powers are, I think Shin thought the same too,' he thought, making Shin sneeze.
"Hey Bowen! Your turn now! By the way, the king told me about you, so try to hold back alright," says the proctor.
"I will. Now then, lets get started," Chin says, summoning a small ball of water that whirls at a fast rate combined with oxygen and hydrogen, making it whirl fast with increasing speed and pressure, then molds it into a arm-length crescent before shooting it to his target, cutting it clean in half and further causing huge cracks to the training room's wall. "I held back with a normal spell this time, how's that?" asked Chin.
"...you pass...," says the proctor who was also astonished with the other enrollees.
Next Location: In the institute's council...
"What!? Are the grandsons really that powerful!?" asked one of the hooded figures.
"Yeah, and since they're both the top scorers, I think they are good candidate for the job tomorrow!" "Agreed!" says the two proctors.
Time skip: The Next Day...
Next Location: At the reception desk in the Magic Academy...
"You are Shin Wolford correct? Here is your uniform, it already has defensive enchantments, but don't try to re-enchant then on your own," says the receptionist.
"With my help and Granny Melida's, I believe exceptions can be arranged," says Chin. "Ah! Chin Bowen! As long as you are liable that is, then it is alright," says the receptionist.
'Hehehe, now's our chance to do a magic makeover,' smirked both Shin and Chin.
"Hey! Shin! Chin!" called Maria from the corridor to the right.
"Oh Maria! What's up? How'd you two do?" asked Chin.
"Oh yes, before I forget, either of you two have to give a speech for tomorrow's ceremony on behalf of the new students ," says the receptionist. "Oh–what!?" exclaimed both Shin and Chin.
"Yes, a new student has to give the speech, it is the academy's tradition!" says August, further saying how important and sacred the ceremony is.
"And that is why, it must be you, good luck!" smirked August.
'This guy is mean-spirited!' thought Shin. 'I was hoping that he was just lying,' lamented Chin.
"Man, those two, taking the top scores, like seriously, that's unfair," commented Maria. "But that's what make them even cooler," says Sizilien. 'True,' thought Maria, " why don't you go talk to him, I mean you both passed?" asked Maria. "Well, how about you?" asked Sizilien, turning the question to Maria. "Well...ahahaha...," stuttered the nervous Maria.
Next Location: In the manor of a noble...
"Damn it all! Damn him! I'm not in S, but A!? And "he" had to take the top score!? Damn it all! He'll pay for this! He will pay!" yelled Kurt.
Time skip: At evening...
Next Location: In Chin and Shin's room...
"Hmmmm, child's play enchantments," commented Chin examining the uniforms' runes.
"Well, at least they allowed us to have our way with them, let's do this!" exclaimed Shin. "Alright, you may go first," says Chin.
"Okay, now to start," says Shin using his pencil wand to nullify the current enchantments on both his and Chin's uniforms then applies the enchantments "Absolute Magical Defense and Physical Defense" an "Antifouling" on both uniforms.
"Done! You're up!" says Shin.
"Now then...," says Chin, applying the enchantments "Magic Power Bank" and "Air Conditioning" on both uniforms. "Done! Yahoo!" yelled Chin. "Can you keep it down this late at night!?" nagged Melida.
"Granny! Look! We've done it!" they reply showing their uniforms. "Done wha–what!?" she yelled.
Time skip: On the day of the entrance ceremony...
Next Location: Outside the Magic Academy's walls...
"Remember not to tell anyone about your uniforms okay?" reminded Melida, getting their nods as a response.
"Hey those robes, are they the Wise Man and the Guru!? Ahh!" exclaimed the crowd rushing to them while pushing Shin and Chin out of their way.
"Ahhhh," yawned the twins Shin and Chin. "Hey, why you two seem dead?" asked Maria while they walk to the auditorium. "Oh, just done something big, got too excited, hehe," Chin replies as they go to the academy's auditorium. "Good luck with your speech. Looking forward to it," smirked August. "Make that speeches, 'cause we both can't decide," said both Shin and Chin, surprising both Sizilien and Maria.
Next Location: In the Ceremony Hall...
"Welcome everyone, to this year's entrance ceremony! May we please welcome the new students!" says one of the proctors, applauding their entrance along with the audience, including all the guardians, parents, visitors, the king, the Wise Man and the Guru, as the new students take their seats.
"I have thought Sizilien as nobility, but Maria too?" retorted Shin. "That's rude!" answered Maria. "Well, at least I'm not on your bad side, hehe," commented Chin, making Maria turn away to hide her slight blush.
"May we ask now the top scorers from the right to please give the new student address: Shin Wolford and Chin Bowen!" called the two proctors, making Shin and Chin walk to the pulpit and leaving both Maria and Sizilien in awe and astonishment questioning August about them.
"Good morning everyone, I am Shin Wolford, and I am Chin Bowen, his brother, on behalf of the incoming students this year" said the both them, leaving the student audience in question.
"On this fine day, as our parents, guardians, and visitors look on, it is a great pleasure to be welcomed by both teachers and current students as we join Earlsheid Magic Academy," said Shin.
Time skip: After the address and the ceremony...
Next Location: In the S-rank Classroom...
"Congratulations on to the S-class of Earlsheid Magic Academy. I am your homeroom teacher: Alfred Marcus. I was once part of the Magic Division Order, but now I'm your practical arts teacher. I'll lay out tomorrow's schedule and we'll finish...," says Alfred to the whole class including Shin, Chin, Sizilien, Maria, and August.
Time skip: Half an hour later...
"Um Shin, do you have a moment?" asked Maria while Shin an Chin pack their things in dimensional pockets to introduce Sizilien's problem.
Time skip: After learning the situation...
"A man keeps hounding after Sizilien!?" exclaimed Shin.
"Shh, hey, you're being too loud. Sizilien keeps turning him down, but he keeps using his family power to take advantage of her,"explained Maria.
"Why should we worry about a guy disobeying the royal law when the penalties will follow? Is he in this academy?" asked Chin.
"Yeah, and he's–," "I'm sorry, Shin, Chin, to disturb you about this matter," Sizilien replies cutting off Maria.
"No worries, we'd be glad to help. Well, I wouldn't mind helping a potential sister-in–," "Stooop! And yeah, what he said while silencing Chin.
"Hey, Sizilien! Why you, taking off to another man when already have one!?" yelled Kurt.
"Kurt again huh?" retorted Chin. "Yeah! It's him!" Maria answers.
"Get over here!" Kurt yelled while trying to grab Sizilien's arm until Shin intervened and slapped his hand away.
"Bastard! What are you–," Kurt barked until he sees an extended wooden baton with a steel head pointed near his face. "This is as far as you go now. Can't have you stalking around my friend now can I?" Chin retorted.
"Sizilien's my fiancee! Stand aside!" Kurt barks, scaring Sizilien. "So he says," Shin replies. "But...um...," Sizilien stutters.
"It's gonna be okay, I'll protect you, no matter what," Shin assures, raising Sizilien's spirit.
"I have declined your engagement! Your hounding me and declaration of our unreal engagement is nothing but harassment to me!" Sizilien declares.
"You dare defy me!? I'll have you know that–," "Your family might do something to her family so to make your fantasy real, even if it defies the royal decree, right?" Chin continuing Kurt's statement, silencing him.
"Well, will you?" asked August, standing by door in the halls. "Ah Aug, the perfect witness. Well, what's it gonna be Kurt: will you defy the "royal decree"?" repeated both Shin and Chin at the last statement.
"It is an inexcusable attempt and an affront to the royal family as Chin affirmed. Maybe I myself shall have a word with the finance bureau with your father then," August answered, scaring Kurt that he walked away to avoid he trouble.
"You will pay!" he exclaimed.
"Thank you so much, Your Highness!" Sizilien said. "I was just about to lose my cool," Shin said.
"Well, things were getting ugly over there, but I do want to see what happens if you lost your composure, hahaha," August replies. 'I'm starting to question your power as a prince,' Chin thought.
"Hey! Jump in and help alright!" Shin yelled. ""No matter what happens, I'll protect you!" It's very nice, right Klode?" August smirks.
"Huh!? Umm...I thought he was pretty cool!" Sizilien answered. "See?" August teases making Shin blush.
"So, do you think everything is okay for now?" asked Maria. "Well, maybe, but looking at him, he seems relentless so just be extra careful and just stick with us okay Sizilien? My brother can keep all the villains away! Right?" Chin teases as he nudges Shin making him and Sizilien blush.
"Oh! Why don't we all go to our place?" Shin suggests. "
"No way, the home of the Wise Man and the Guru!?" Maria exclaims. "If any of you are busy we won't force–," "I'm coming! Definitely coming! Just a moment! I have to let my parents know! Okay Sizilien?" Maria says and agrees with Sizilien before sending her parents a message.
"I'll go too, knowing that my father would probably be there as well," August says, looking uneasy with two other students next to him. "I am Julius von Littenheim, an escort of His Majesty," says the taller blondie. "And I am Thor von Flegel, also an escort of His Highness," replied the shorter white-haired boy.
Next Location: In the living room of the home of the Wise Man and the Guru...
"You boys sure came late, what has happened?" asked Merlin. "Well, something came up earlier, sorry," says Chin.
"But anyways, allow me introduce you to our classmates. You already know who Aug is right? This is Maria and Sizilien. And this is Julius and this is Thor," Shin introduced, shocking them except August.
"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance," says August.
"I-it's a pleasure to finally meet you! I am Maria!" Maria exclaimed before bowing in front of Melida.
"I am Sizilien," "I am Thor," "I am Julius," they all replied while Melida stares at Maria and Sizilien.
Time skip: After minutes of explaining the situation...
"I see and I understand," Merlin replied. "Some nobles aren't watchful parents after all," Melida commented.
"So, I–I mean we, like to overwrite the enchantment on Sizilien's uniform," says Shin. "Call it an emergency if needed," Chin adds.
"Enchantment?" asked Maria. "What do you mean?" August continued.
"Yes indeed, your name is Sizilien, yes?" Melida clarifies. "Ah yes Mistress Melida," Sizilien answers. "I tell you now, that these overwritten enchantment are especially radical matters. Shin is quite serious in keeping you safe, so, do you think you are worthy to accept it?" Melida questions, putting Sizilien on the spot.
"Granny, you're thinking too much of it," Shin says. "Keep quiet! Do you even have any idea what you have done to your uniform?!" Melida says. "I'll have to side with Granny on this one, I too suggest this matter, which is why we consulted you Granny," Chin adds.
"Yes, because their uniforms have become national-grade protective gears," Melida says, shocking everyone in the room. "So, do you still think you are ready and worthy to accept it?" Melida asks, making Sizilien think deeply with tears in her eyes.
"I...am not worthy to accept...I am taking advantage of Shin's kindness. I thought he would just sympathize and help me once I tell him the situation," Sizilien says with sadness and guilt.
"Well, he's so strong, so it makes sense that you'd want to turn to him," Melida comments.
"Shin and his brother Chin are both outsiders, yet they are so willing to help us, and help me. And Shin said he'd protect me, which made me so happy...," Sizilien further says.
"No Sizilien, it was my idea that we ask for his help," Maria says. "I am sorry Shin, Chin, I'll try to somehow do this on my own...I am also sorry to bother you, Mistress Melida, farewell," said Sizilien as she is about to leave.
"Wait for a moment. If you accepted his offer without saying any reason, I would have thrown you out, but then instead you told the truth and renounced the chance of getting national-grade protective gear. That's something that no normal person can do, " Melida says.
"But I tricked Shin, him and Chin," Sizilien sobs. "What's wrong with a girl tricking a boy? I mean, look at Shin, he finds you adorable and hasn't realized what you did. Not to mention, getting all worked up when you came to him," Melida explained, embarrassing Shin before turning to Maria.
"You, you are Maria yes?" Melida asks the redhead girl. "Ah yes!" Maria replies.
"In case you haven't known, I can sense that Chin on the other hand, also wishes to overwrite your uniform's enchantments too, the same national-grade enchantments on his uniform, do "you" think you are worthy for them too?" Melida asked. "Huh? Huh?!" Maria exclaimed.
"Nonononono, that is too much for me! I can't do that!" Maria explained
"Um Granny, I did not–," "Quiet Chin, between me and Merlin, I know you better and can tell you want to help her as well. Seeing you daydreaming while staring at her eyes," Melida points out, embarrassing a tomato-head Chin. "You see, he too wants to help you, whether he says it or not, and you can tell from how he is reacting right now," Melida clarifies. 'Granny please no more,' thought the embarrassed Chin.
"Mistress Melida, I-I am sorry... but it is too big for me to handle...I am sorry...to trouble you and Chin," Maria explained, with her teary face downcast. "Wait, if you have said otherwise, I would have you thrown out too," Melida says hen hugs both Maria and Sizilien.
"I am sorry for testing the both of you, it must be straining, but as both their mother and grandmother, I wish to see them happy, with anyone they are with," Melida says.
"Yes, Sizilien, it is fine with me to ask for help. Actually, you are always welcome to feel free to use me," Shin says. "Mm, likewise, Maria, I am not troubled or bothered by you, not a bit," Chin says after him, making both Maria and Sizilien cry on Melida's shoulders and went their way to Melida's room afterwards.
"I had no idea that Sizilien girl is using you," Merlin said. "Me too," Shin says. "Well, when comes to being careful, Granny can handle that," Chin says, with everyone nodding in agreement. "That aside, I seem to be nothing but air here for a while with Melida doing all that," Merlin lamented getting depressed. "Hang in there Grandpa," comforted Chin and Shin, ignoring the other people.
Time skip: After minutes of undressing and dressing and a heart-to-heart talk by Melida with Maria and Sizilien and returning to the living room...
"There, and done!" Chin says after both he and Shin applied their enchantments on their uniforms, astonishing everyone.
"Such preposterous sights right?" Melida comments. "Still surprising me always these boys," said Merlin. "You can do anything can you...?" August retorted.
"Well Shin's enchantments are active types while mine are passive. His enchantments require magic that is conscious and controlled externally at a certain range, while mine maintains equilibrium internally," Chin explains.
"In other words, you may be vulnerable or exposed sneak attacks or attacks aimed at the head, arms and legs," Shin explains. "And give emergency benefits to the wearer," Chin adds.
"I must say, these are extraordinary feats Shin, Chin. However, if word gets out with this, it will shake the entire nation. Wars would be far from prevalent here and possibly the world when revealed to the public, do you understand?" Diseum explained.
"That...is deep, didn't know the odds of that, we'll promise to be more careful now," Shin says while Chin nods in agreement.
"Oh! The first time Shin and Chin both reflect on their actions!" Melida rejoiced with Merlin laughed in agreement.
"We were gonna do the same with Aug and the rest, but when you put it that way...," Chin stutters.
"Uhhh wait wait, can you at least make an exception or two please?" Diseum pleads.
Time skip: After minutes of discussing and enchanting again...
"Thank you Shin, wearing this makes me feel like you're there to protect me. I am truly grateful and happy now!" Sizilien says with the rest of their friends that also had their uniforms enchanted. "You're always welcome Sizilien," Shin answers.
"Y-yes, thank you, Chin. But you really don't have to you know...?" Maria retorted. "It may not be a gift you'd like, but it was the least I can do, 'specially for you, Maria," Chin says firmly, making Maria blush more and turn to hide her blush. "Shut up, dummy," Maria whispered.
"Now then, Sizilien, starting tomorrow, I'll take you home," Shin says. "I'll take you home as well Maria," Chin says.
"Wha–really?!" Maria exclaimed. "Won't it be an imposition for both of you?" Sizilien asks.
"It's fine, as long as we use "Gate"," Shin says. "Gate? What's that?" Maria asks.
"Watch," Shin says as both Shin and Chin step up and open a portal. "Okay guys, step right up and look what's on the other side!" Chin yelled as they all went through the portal.
Next Location: Deep in the forest at the Cabin of the Wise Man...
"Um, where are we?" Maria asks. "We're at our Gramps old home," Chin answered.
"Wait, you said you lived somewhere deep in the forest, didn't you?" August asks. "This is it," Shin answers.
"Wait, isn't this teleportation magic?!" Maria exclaimed. "More like, "connecting-two-places" magic, 'cause we skip the distances, shortening and giving us a shortcut. It called teleportation if you "instantly" appear or transfer to that place. Does that make sense?" says Shin and Chin, slightly confusing everyone. "No it doesn't," says the confused Maria.
Next Location: Back at the at Capital at the home of the Wise Man and the Guru...
"We can only use "Gate" to places we've been through, so once we take carriages to both your homes, we can use "Gate" there," Shin says.
"Gaaagh, I still don't get it!?" said Maria, confused. "Thank you Shin, Chin. "Seriously you two, you're both taking magic for granted," August comments. "You're good at flunking common sense," Julius says.
"But it's not all bad right?...Right?" Shin retorted, while Chin holds his forehead in embarassment.
