Arc 4 Chapter 1

On the television the news was saying about strange weather patterns that had started in January and that seemed to be odd. In Japan the Hunter's was thinking that a magical disturbance was causing the strange weather by mucking in the natural ley lines. Normally when someone mucked with a ley line the weather would change from three days to two weeks, but the weather was acting up across the world when normally it would only be the surrounding area would have the affection. So to them was someone going around the world and messing with something that they weren't supposed to or was this by something completely out of their league like a god reemerging.

Ken was a bit annoyed. Why did it seem that something was off? His notebook was filled with changes that he remembers and with the differences that he is seeing with his own eyes. The only thing that was still in the normal range was the weather being fucked up. Nanoha wasn't supposed to be fighting Fate until next year. Why was this different to the world he used to live in?

~Maybe because of your spell Master?~ Paradox stated reminding him of that fateful day of everything that he cared for died for him, but for some strange reason the four that died on that planet became part of the Tome of Time and was now his knights. Only Paradox has some of the past knowledge of that world.

'That could explain the hunters.' Ken thought back thinking of the group that took him when he joined school. They seemed to want him for the ability to change his forms and was stunned to learn that he has great trouble controlling magic so he is kept at trainee status until his ability to control the magic is better.

Last day of class before summer break…

"Man I cannot wait until class is over. My family is going to Kyoto for more intense training. Since my clan are hunters for a long time." A classmate of Ken's spoke to him.

"Lucky you. You became an apprentice during this semester and you keep telling me that your family goes all out on your hunter training." Ken murmured back looking kind of depressed.

"Hey, you have a skill that I would kill for. In fact my parents are upset that we don't have a sister to marry you." That classmate stated noticing that he irked his friend.

"I'm glad that you don't have a sister then." Ken spoke aloud shuddering.

"Kuro-kun spoke!" a classmate yelped surprised that Ken spoke.

"It's the end of the world." Someone joked making Ken flinch. "Sorry Kuro-kun but you have to admit that we all thought that the world would end before you spoke aloud in front of people."

"Alright class I know summer is nearly here but we need to get back to doing classwork than that of a classmate finally speaking." The teacher spoke ending the tension and making everyone go back to task, spell work.

As Ken got ready to leave his school his friend and teacher asked him to stay.

"Kuro-kun, I have noticed that you cannot access your core like everyone else can. Maybe instead of trying to use the locked up portion you need to practice using the little you can use. Learn to control that and maybe you will be able to use all of your magic." His teacher said kindly making Ken think everyone else was trying to get him to break the bind by using allot of magic but maybe this is the way to use the spells better.

"I will learn to use what I can instead of being pushed to doing things that I cannot." Ken stated remembering that he isn't being called Ichijoiji anymore.

With that he went to find out what his friend wanted to talk to him about.

"Hey Ken-kun. I was thinking. Maybe to get you to be upgraded to apprentice like you want…" his friend started to say.

"Kouji-san, you want me to join you in your training right?" Ken finished looking a little green at the fact of his friend's family pushing him hard and possibly having his 'knights' think he is in trouble and getting caught.

"Yeah, how'd you know?" Kouji asked glad that Ken is speaking instead of the quiet way he used to speak.

"I could guess on your thinking." Ken quietly spoke.

"Gah, now back to being quiet. Ken-kun, you need to stop hiding and open up. I only got to be your friend by being your partner in the course work and you getting to know me. Maybe you need to go find friends to become an apprentice since confidence in yourself helps control magic." Kouji stated realizing that Ken might be too shy to use magic properly.

"I guess you're right." Ken muttered looking down.

August second Ken was flipping channels and continued to see Digimon on the screen. Meramon in the areas that have droughts, Yukidarumon where there are snowstorms, Seadramon at the sights of floods. What the hell is no one freaking out of the sight of Digimon?

'Could friends really be my problem? No, I made them since the first time I got the tome and I still suck at magic. Could my confidence be the problem? I did have problems because of… oh god.' Ken snapped out of his thoughts. His family, Jiro, Osamu's dad, this is the first time ever that the family is split and Osamu is nice to him and hasn't been mean once or said anything that he once did in the original time line. Could Jiro have caused his confidence to be shot in the first place? Maybe Ken needed a true friend to bring out his control of magic.

A/N: Oh wow, finally something completely different… wait… where's the big boom… well in the off chance that the big boom has already happened… TIDAL WAVE! –Triser-
