Okay. Let it be known that for some strange reason I pulled an all brighter to make this. (Mostly because I couldn't sleep, but was still tired.) So things might seem rushed, don't make sense or stuff like that. I will try and fix them when I wake up again.

On to a different matter, I always love rereading the oc submissions I get. There's only two that were sent via pm and I love them. One of them will be used in this oc arc along with one from a review. The other will be used in a later arc. Now why don't we finally start, ne?

Chapter 7: England - Eyebrows


"Why am I doing this again?"

"Because you didn't have anything better to do back on Academy City~~"

"So says you. As a matter of fact, I did have something important to do."

"Just stop complaining and deal with it. None of us want to do this super crappy thing."

"At least you don't have to be in front of tons of people who will only see you as an exhibit."

Enshin sighed as stood in an airport with a few others. One being Zurui and another being Saiai.

"Hm. I still don't get how someone like you can be the center of attention. You have nothing appealing and are simply a background character. Meanwhile, a main character like me is stuck behind the curtains."

"Please don't mind his rudeness, Senpai. He's just a little mad since he didn't want to come in the first place."

"Hahaha! Tetsu-kyun is more mad that Gin-tan is stronger than him and get to be on center stage!"

Enshin turned to look at the three talking to him.

Starting from the right was a boy around a foot shorter than Enshin. He was turned the other way with his arms crossed while he wore the Nagatenjouki school uniform. He had orange hair with some blond streaks to show his true hair color while his eye color was black.

Next to him was another male who was a few centimeters away from Enshin's height of 5'11" with brown hair and eyes. He wore a simply T-shirt, a dark blue jacket and jeans.

The last person was a girl who was as tall as Saiai with black hair tied into a ponytail reaching to her mid back. She wore a strapless pink dress. Her eyes were an odd shade of pink.

"It's fine, Gin-kun. I already know how your 'leader' thinks. He's just a jealous little kouhai."

"Hey, do any of you know when we are suppose to meet up with whoever is taking us to our hotel?"

Now the attention turned to a girl with long dark red hair tied into two low ponytails. She had a Kirigaoka Girls' Academy uniform, but instead of wearing the uniform's dark blue coat the usual way, she wore it over her shoulders instead like a cape, and was wearing only a pink crop top and a pleated skirt.

"I think we got here a little early. They should be here in a few minutes."

Now Enshin turned to the person that Saiai was accompanying. He found that it seem like an odd pair since Saiai was wearing her orange hoodie and hot pants and the girl was wearing a pink track suit. She also seemed lethargic to Enshin with her tired expression.

'Why did Mugino agree to this? She's super determined to not let herself be seen at these things, yet she let's Takitsubo-san come here and even insisted I come along too. What is she playing at?' Saiai thought about it for a few moments before something clicked in her head. "That witch is taking this off of our vacation time! When we get back, I am going to have a super long talk with her! I am getting all my vacation time!"

Everyone there stared at her with odd looks while she fumed about her realization.

"What a bunch of weirdoes, ne, En?" Zurui asked, looking up to the Esper.

"Hm? You're one to talk. Have you seen your attire?"

Zurui looked down and saw his white yukata and wooden saddles that had a piece of wood attacked to the middle of the bottom of the sandle that added a few inches to his height. He had hid his tails and ears so as to not be suspicious.

"What? It's comfortable."

"You look worse than any regular tourist here. And why the heck are you two wearing your uniforms? Neither one of our schools care if we take them off when not in school. And either way, we're not even in Academy City, so they wouldn't be able to tell if you are wearing them or not," Enshin said, looking at the shortest male Esper and the redhead.

"Here it is! Hahaha! Nise-chama found Gim-tan's book! He really did bring some of them!"

"Nisekoi-chan, I told you not to sneak through my stuff!" Gin quickly grabbed a book that was in his friends hand and quickly hid it in his jacket. "You should listen once in a while."

"You seriously brought those? I'm really considering ditching you as my right hand man, Gin," the uniform wearing boy said with a sigh and a head shake.

"Oh? What book is it? Is it a super ero book?" Saiai asked with a curious look.

"Sorry, but it's not my place to-"

"Gin-tan is a super fudanshi! He likes Yaoi, but he prefers Shounen Ai! He brought some of his book with-Hmphgjl!"

"I think you said enough, Nisekoi-chan. Just stay quiet for the rest of the time," Enshin said as he covered the girl's mouth and sent a worried glance over to Gin. He turned back to the other girls and saw that they didn't seem to care much.

The redhead walked up to Gin and tapped him on the shoulder.

Enshin raised an eyebrow when he saw her whisper something in his ear that made him go red, but nod his head.

"You must be the ones from Academy City. It is nice to meet you."

Everyone turned their attention to a man wearing a suit in front of them. He head blond hair and was wearing glasses, so they couldn't tell what his eye color was. What really got their attention were the thick, fuzzy eyebrows on his face.

"Whoa! Are these things real!?"

"Nise-chama thinks they are the real exhibit here!"

"Would you stop that!"

"Zu, I'll lock you up if you don't stop."

Gin grabbed Nisekoi while Enshin grabbed Zurui before they could touch the freakish eyebrows.

"We are terribly sorry for that. Our friends meant nothing by it," Gin said with a bow.

"Ahem. It is fine. My name is Arthur Kirkland (1) and I will be your guard and guide for your time here. It is a pleasure to meet you all."

"Yo. Name's Enshin Toaru. (2)"

"Hello. I am Gin Tamashi. These are my friends, Nisekoi Mazetsubō and-"

"Tetsuya Oto."

"I am Awaki Musujime."

"Saiai Kinuhata, and this is Rikou Takitsubo."

"I am the great fox-"

"His name is Zurui."

"Well, now that we have been introduced, will you all please follow me. I will first be taking you all to your hotel, then to where the presentation will be held."

Doing as they were told, everyone grabbed their belongings and followed the Englishman.

"I have a question. Why didn't they just make a Level 5 do this thing? I'm sure these people would rather see one of them than ones who are right at the line," Musujime said as they walked through the airport.

"I asked the Board of Directors that when I sent them my reply. Their answers was..." Enshin pulled out his phone and opened up the message, "The #1 was busy with an important experiment, #2 refuses to be some kind of show for other people, #3 was recently involved in an incident, so they would rather keep her in the city, #4's occupation requires her to be in the city, #5 simply doesn't want to and brainwashes people who ask her, #6 just can't be found, and #7...Well I can answer that. No one trusts that he will keep the plane in tact if he were to go over seas."

'Hm. So that's what they said about why Mugino couldn't come.'

'I guess they didn't find out that I was also part of the Level Upper incident. #5 though...I'll need a trick to get around her ability when the time comes...'

"So they settled for the ones who could reach Level 5, but can't...I really hate those people," Tetsuya said with a spiteful tone.

"Oh yeah. I forgot that the four of you have potential for that. Why can't any of you reach Level 5?" Zurui asked, looking at the four.

"Hm. I told need to tell a shrimp like you anything," Musujime said as they reached the front of the airport.

"Sorry, Zu, but that's a secret."

"Same here."

"Ah...I'm not so sure why. I'm sorry, Zurui-kun."

"Awww~~~ You people suck~~~" Zurui crossed his arms and pouted. "I wish Rusty was here."

"Urg. I'm glad he had stuff to do. I don't think I would be able to handle him while we're here."


"This place is so huge~~~"

"This is where the presentation will be held."

The Espers and kitsune looked out to a big auditorium that was at least as big as a football field. They stood on a big stage that could seem like it would be able to hold at least a thousand people on it.

"Now I would like to discuss how the presentation will go. We would like for each of you to first show your abilities, then explain them to the best of your abilities - no pun intended - and answer any questions asked. After all of you are done, we would like for you to answer any questions about Academy City that you are allowed to answer."

"Hm. Seems simple enough. So what's the order we go in?" Enshin asked as he took a few pictures of the auditorium.

"We will leave that up to you."

"So, who wants to go first?" Enshin turned to see that none of the other three were really looking like they wanted too. "Fine. How about we decide like this." Enshin pulled out four pieces of paper from a notebook he got from his pocket along with a pen. He wrote something down on them and turned them upside down. "Each of you will pick one to determine what order we go in."

Nodding their heads, the three Espers walked up and picked a paper. When they got one, they backed up and showed their papers.

"Okay. So Awaki-chan will go first, then me, then Gin-kun, and lastly Rikou-chan."

"Alright. I will inform-"

"Ah! There you are, Angleterre!"

"Oh bloody hell," Arthur muttered under his breath. "What do you want, you wine loving frog?"

"Now is that any way to speak to your good friend?"

"What are you talking about? We are not friends. What are you even doing here?"

"I came to see you! Aren't you happy?"

"No. I am in the middle of something here."

All the Espers and the kitsune looked at the new man that was in front of them and looking at them. He had shoulder-length blond hair and blue eyes, and has a slight amount of facial hair. He was wearing a long blue coat and matching capelet, with red pants and brown boots.

"Oh? You must be the people from Academy City."

"Yes. And you are...?"

"Right. Where are my manners. My name is Francis Bonnefoy."

They all introduced themselves except for one person.

"Hey, Gin-kun, you should probably introduce yourself," Enshin said, nudging Gin with his elbow.

"Oh! I'm sorry. Hello. My name is Gin Tamashi."

"Gin-tan, what's wrong? Usually you're the first to introduce yourself."

"Ah. Well, I was just thinking of how to explain my ability," Gin said while he scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

"That's right. I forgot that your ability is...tricky."

"Hm? What do you mean by 'tricky'?" Musujime asked.

"Well...My ability is...like..."

"To put it simply, it's Aura Manipulation. The reason it's tricky to explain is that Academy City hasn't really figured out how he can use it."

"What do you mean? Aren't they the ones who helped you get the ability? Shouldn't they know these things?" Arthur asked, getting curious.

"Actually, no. I had my ability before going to Academy City."

"He's what the city calls a Gemstone. He goes through the same program as us, but he has a stronger AIM field than most Espers do."

"How do you know all this stuff about him?" Saiai asked.

"Oh. Well, Enshin-senpai and I were involved with an experiment when I first came to Academy City."

"So what can you do with this ability of yours?" Francis asked, getting involved with the conversation.

"Such a bunch of nosy people. He's not the only strong person here, ya know. Honestly, you people should just mind your own business," Tetsuya said with a harsh tone.

"Calm down there, kid. They are just curious. Just because your jealous he's getting more attention doesn't mean that you need to be rude," Enshin said with a deadpan expression.

"Hm. A main character doesn't get jealous. A background character like yourself has no right to speak with me in the first place."

"Now, now, please calm down, you two. Oto-kun, I really don't mind telling them."

Tetsuya simply huffed and looked the other way.

"So are they still trying to figure out how your ability works back at the city?" Arthur asked, getting back on the topic.

"Yes. All the people at the institution I go to are really nice. I feel bad for one of them though. She's such a sweet lady, but she's in a wheelchair. She does seem odd though. She is wearing pajamas every time I see here."

Enshin went wide eyed before walking up to Gin and giving him a dark look.

"What is her name?"

"Um...What...?"

"What is that lady's name!"

Most of the people were shocked at hearing Enshin raise his voice out of anger like that. They were also a little scared from the look on his face.

"Hey, don't order him like that! I don't give a damn about who you are, you don't mess with one of my subordinates!" Tetsuya said, pushing Enshin away.

"Gin, tell me what that lady's name is...Now!"

"Whoa. Enshin, you need to super calm down."

Enshin turned and gave a glare that made a shiver run down most of their bodies.

"H-her name is B-B-Byouri..." Gin said in a shaky voice. "She n-never gave me h-here last n-n-name..."

Enshin took in a few deep breathes before giving an apologetic look towards Gin, then Saiai.

"I'm sorry for losing my temper like that. But Gin, I suggest you never see that woman again." His expression went to a serious one. "That niceness is just a facade. She is a cruel, cunning, and bloodthirsty woman. She will do whatever is nessecary, and more, to get what she wants."

"What are you talking about, En? Do you know this lady?" Zurui asked.

"B-b-but I have never seen her with any type of malicious aura before. Are sure it's the same lady, Senpai?"

"Yeah. It's here. If she knows that you can see her aura then she can do something to change how you see it. After all...she is a Kihara."

"What? As in one of those Kiharas?" Musujime asked with a shocked tone. "Those people are crazy."

"Well...Why don't we continue this conversation back at the hotel?" Arthur asked, trying to break the tense atmosphere.


"So that is where the presentation is going to be held. Maybe I will be able to get some good information from it."

A man stood on a hill with a pair of binoculars in his hand as he looked at the auditorium.

"So this is where you were. Seeming like you're interested in what the Espers of Academy City can do."

"Yes. They have definitely caught my interest. Now what does the boss of a powerful magic cabal want with me?"

"I have heard an interesting rumor that you are quite knowledgable, and cunning enough to evade capture from the Amakusa-Style Remix of Church. That is quite impressive."

"..."

"I am here with an offer. Why not join us and share your knowledge with us?"

"And what would the Dawn-colored Sunlight need with my information?"

"We simply wish to seize the core of the world."

"Hm. Are you sure you don't want to do something stupid like make the magic spear Gungnir? Or try and reach the realm of the Magic Gods?"

"Hm. We'll see about that at a later time. I am simply here to tell you the offer. I will wait for your reply. You have three days-"

"Alright. I will join. But you better provide good information...Leivina Birdway."

"But of course."

'I will just have to put my other research on hold for the moment.' The man and the small girl started walking into the woods as the man thought, '...Imagine Breaker...I will have to wait a little longer before meeting you...'


"So...Will you help me?"

Gim looked at the wall of Enshin and Zurui's hotel room with a thoughtful expression. He was just told about a crazy plan that Enshin had come up with and was just given the option to join in the plan or just pretend he didn't hear anything.

Zurui was currently with the Nisekoi, so the two weren't worried about someone hearing the plan.

"Get rid...of the Kiharas...That just sounds like something a suicidal person would want to do as a final coup de grace. Just dealing with one Kihara is crazy enough, but...taking out every one of them...There's no way that two people can do it."

Enshin looked down. He knew that everything Gin had said was true. He didn't even want to get other involved, but he knew that he would need some type of help in defeating the family of psycho, science obsessed scientists.

"It's fine if you don't want to help. I understand."

"I'm not saying that. You already know that I basically owe you my life, Senpai. I'm just saying that we would require more than just us two." Gin snapped his fingers and looked at Enshin. "Aren't you friends with two Level 5-"

"No. Miko-chan already has enough with being a Level 5 and trying to be a normal middle schooler. Gun-kun is strong, but for something that requires delicacy like this he wouldn't be a good choice."

"Hm...Alright...I'll help you...But, you have to promise that you won't obsess over this too much. Remember to live your life."

"Hmph. That's a good one." Enshin fell back on his bed and closed his eyes. "I've been obsessing over this since I was a kid, and the incidents that happened three years ago and last year, there's no way I don't want to get back at those bastards for everything they've done."

"Aren't you technically doing the same thing? You're just doing it in a more tame way."

"What the hell did you say?"

"I'm just saying that you are doing anything possible to get rid of them. The only difference is that you aren't trying to involve others in your plan. I know you don't want anyone killed because of this, but there will be some lives lost. It doesn't matter if you want it too happen or not."

"..."

"You know I'm right."

"...I know."

Gin let out a sigh as he stood up. He stretched his arms and heard the popping sound his bones made because of it.

"Anything else? I'm gonna go get something to eat."

"Actually...Yes."

Gin raised an eyebrow at the tired look on Enshin's expression and his slouched possession.


"We would like to give a warm welcome to the residence of Academy City who have made their way all the way to London so as to show what Academy City is capable of. We truly thank you all!"

"What a load of garbage. They just want to see them mess up."

Everyone was currently behind the giant stage with the four pseudo-Level 5s getting ready to go up.

Well...really only Gin was getting ready.

"That's a super big crowd," Saiai said as she looked out to the audience. 'They don't know about Takitsubo-san's ability, so we can make some crap up like 'When her hair rises her ability is active.' and vaguely explain what she can do. We've got this!'

"Hm..."

"Zu, what's wrong?"

"I'm not sure. My fur is standing on edge and I have a very bad feeling about this."

"Don't worry. There's security all over the place and we are all really strong. There's no need to worry," Enshin said, trying to convince himself more than Zurui. 'I'm actually getting the same feeling...I need to be ready.'

'Could it be a magic cabal? Let's see...We're not near St. George's Cathedral, so it can't be them...'

"Looks like I'm up. Might as well get this done with," Musujime said as she walked onto the stage with a military flashlight in hand.

'There it is! Someone in the audience is definitely from the magic side!...Wait...There's another...and another...Just how many magicians are here!?' Zurui ran up to Enshin with sweat all over his body. "En...There are some dangerous people here...What are we going to do...?"

Enshin thought for a moment before walking over to Gin.

"Hey, Gin, I need you to do me a favor."

"Alright. What is it?"

"I need you to look at the crowd and tell me if there are any dangerous people."

Nodding his head, Gin walked over to the edge of the stage and looked out into the audience while they watched Musujime teleport multiple items.

He closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening them to show his now white eyes. He scanned over the area and went wide eyed. He stopped his ability and quickly made his way back to the others.

"So? How strong?"

"Most of the audience are have Level 0 strength. There are some with Level 3 strength...there are two with Level 4 strength...and...two of them...have Level 5 strength...and I mean at least #3..."

"Wh-what?..."

"What are we going to do, En?"

"Hm...We'll need everyone's help with this...Alright. That should work." He turned his attention to everyone that was around. "When Awaki-chan is done and my turn is up, I need you all to be ready in case a fight breaks out. And whatever you do, don't look at my presentation. Zu, when Awaki-chan came back here I need you to tell her that."

"Understood."

"We would like to welcome Enshin Toaru to the stage now. Please give your attention to him."

"Well here we go...Time to make the first move."


1 - just a small crossover for you all

2 - England, so first names first and last names last

Okay. There we go. I am not sure what I just put, but I'll come back to it to feel embarrassed about it later.

Until next time, spee ja...
