The team walk through the gate while plenty of witches were watching them going on. The four already feeling the attention on them, making them uneasy.
They stay together as the students starting whispering to each other, the four barely hear what they're saying, but it sounds like they were curious and uncontent with them.
"well, this is a warm welcome."
Jo whisper to the others, Heather agreed.
"yeah, well we shouldn't expect less since we're outsiders."
Aya hum agreeing while monika remain slient as the amount of witches were increasing as they were getting close to the entrance.
This made jo pretty uncomfortable.
"well, this is great..."
It soon look like they were about to block the way in, which will be problematic for them.
"uhh, their seems to be a lot of them starting to get in the way."
Monika said pretty concerned, the others were starting to feel the same as well, including since they were now giving them looks.
The witches surrounding them were now starting to get a little closer to them, while the ones in front are now basically blocking the way in.
"aw shit..."
Jo said faintly while the others feel dismay as well.
"great, what's gonna happen now?"
Aya said concerned as the team see three witches were approaching them by 10 feet away. The first one in front appearance looks different, she has salmon red hair near the end with orange blending in. She has quartz blue eyes. She didn't looked fond of them.
Next to her was a rather short girl with dark blue hair. She seems to have a frown on her face.
And the last girl who seemed to not mind them has light purple hair and was holding a bag of chips.
The one in front spoke first.
"hey! You four are not supposed to be here! None of you I have ever seen before."
They stood there not sure on how to respond, except for mumble.
"what's the matter? You four lost or something?"
Aya decided to speak up, she went forward.
"Excuse us, we're just here to talk to whoever own this academy."
The girl just snick at her comment, "Really? You four really think you would just Watts right inside without any issues? How do we know you're not here for something else?"
"ehh, jeez, nice welcoming we're having."
Jo said for only them to hear, monika decided to step in: "listen, we're not here to cause any problems. We're just want to talk to the owner here."
The girl look unconvinced: "Tch! You really expect us to let you four through? How did you manage to get here anyway?"
This cause a little spark from the other witches who were wondering the same thing. The four were having a bad feeling about this.
"this is not going good."
Aya whisper to them, jo commented: "you think?"
The girl spoke up: "I suggest you four leave now!"
Heather step in: "You can't tell us what to do!"
"oh yeah? Well say that to everyone else!"
The others agreed which really made the four be in a bad place.
"well, shit."
Jo said under his breath, Heather said: "what now?"
Monika propose: "We can't give up, we need to get inside."
"right."
Jo said as he step forward: "step aside everyone! This, is an important business we're dealing with!"
The girl in front chuckle a bit: "really now? If you think you can get through then you have to make us."
"we're not asking again, step aside!"
Heather spoke up now getting annoyed by her, the girl now looking a bit serious.
"heh, you have to make me!"
She pull out a wand that fold out and pointed at Heather.
"ah shit."
Jo said as monika doesn't want this to escalated to this: "w-wait! Let's not get too hasty!"
She bring both her hands up while saying that, the girl now point her wand at her: "should of leave when you have the chance!"
She said something nearly inaudible which have a blue magical ball fly towards monika.
Jo saw it coming close but couldn't react at the time to protect her: "mon--!"
Suddenly a flash of light blinded basically everyone as they all covered their eyes.
Monika realize she was unharmed as she open her eyes while moving her arms away. What she saw surprise her.
"what, the...?"
She gaze in awe as the team soon see what made them surprised.
"no way..."
Jo exclaimed shocked to see it, it was a large humanoid bird that has a transparent tendril connecting to jo. Is head was a bald eagle with foggy eyes. It wears a open vest that look like brown leather, with native like brown braces which are leather, and a belt buckle with a arrow pointing up.
The others were commenting on it also: "oh my God, is jo..."
Aya said as jo finished: "stand."
Everyone was staring at it as the eagle stand look at the girl with clear ferocious.
This made her a bit nervous: "w-what is that? A human bird?"
The stand suddenly dissipate as the others were just confused at it sudden disappearance.
"wow, you can use your stand here?"
Monika said as jo just stares at her confuse as her. Aya said: "if he can use his stand, then that means..."
Jo realizing why: "well, it make sense now. This place is magical."
"right..."
Heather realizing that now, the girl slowly snap out of it.
"h-hey, what was that about?! How did you do that!?"
Suddenly she heard someone clearing her voice behind her..
"*ahem*"
This made her stop what she was doing and turn her head back to see nearly all of the teachers there.
"oh boy."
Jo exclaim displeasent at the sight of them. There was at least 8 of them, looking at the four crew behind the girl and her friends.
"uhh, professor finnelan, I was just--"
"Amanda O'Neil, your attempts to get rid of these four is unnecessary. With that, you will be punished for attempting to harm them."
She looks away rather inconsistent: "you, say that..."
"yes, now will you three leave at once." Her attention was on them: "we'll deal with them."
"y-yes professor."
She look a bit slump while turning around, the two follow behind her as the team was left with the teachers.
The girl named finnelan walked forward to say something.
"You four, what you are you doing on private grounds?"
She ask commanding which made some of us nervous, aya step up: "Ma'am, we're here for important business. If you would allow some of your time we will explain why we're here."
"hmm..."
Finnelan didn't avert her gaze at them but was fixated on her thoughts. Another teacher who was wearing a red coat while holding a cane in hand walked forward.
"You four are here for business?"
Aya was still speaking: "Yes ma'am."
The short teacher look at them with judgement but before she could speak, Finnelan spoke: "Head mistress, what are your thoughts?"
"I say we should hear them out. I'm curious how they got here."
This made the four content about her choice, she turn around and walked: "follow us you four."
The whole teachers look at her walking off as finnelan look back at them still uncertain about them, she turn and walk along as the four look at each other and followed.
They all entered through the entrance following the teachers. Some of them disband from them to do other business while a few stay. The four were looking around the hall seeing that it look quite critiques but also a bit bland.
The floor were brinks while the doors were wooden, but this doesn't bother them that much.
Monika comment on the scenery: "Well, this place look quite stunning."
Heather wasn't exactly the same as monika: "i don't know, the inside look more bland compared to outside."
This made jo a bit uncomfortable since she did said it outloud. In fact one of them wasn't so fond of that comment and spoke up.
"This place been here for generations, is not gonna change anytime soon."
The women looks wasn't exactly good looking but still looks like any witch you would imagine.
Heather didn't think much about her comment but let it aside while following.
They soon head up as the rest of the teachers left except for three of them. The two witches they know except for the last one who was short as the one in front but was wearing a green jacket.
They walk down the hall noticing that the scenery was slightly different. The floor was a red carpet while the walls were more contrast compared to the first floor.
They pass side hallways that were dark beside the blue flames shining from the chandelier.
The team were still following them as it was still quiet, soon they reach a tall double door as finnelan opened the door while turning to them: "This way."
She told them as they process to follow inside the room.
The teachers were at the side of the room while the head mistress was sitting in front of a desk. She stares at the four with a neutral expression.
"Alright, one of you have to explain how you got here and why you're all here."
She said as the team were looking at each other to say who's gonna explain. Jo step forward before anyone could.
"uhm, ma'am. We're here for a specific reason. Something you all would not like."
This made them puzzled at what he's saying, as the short one with the green jacket said.
"What do you mean?"
He look at her then look away, and said: "well, before I tell you, we need to introduce ourselves."
He prepared himself then said his name: "My name's jo, and we're part of a team know as the world Invaders."
At this moment he felt that things will go off the rails.
"We. Are not from this world."
This really made them confused, while monika and the others were off put form his statement.
The teachers were staring absurd at him which finnelan exclaimed: "What? You can't be serious."
Jo sigh a bit and explain: "We are, it explains why we have special abilities."
The teachers were puzzle at what he meant. While the girls were distant from how he's handling it.
"you have special powers?"
The head mistress said which jo respond.
"yes. I know it doesn't sound truthful but if you doubt than I can show you."
"really? Than show us."
Finnelan told them as jo went and show them his stand as it shine for a moment.
The teachers were surprised to see the large humanoid stand as they exclaimed their surprise.
"W-what is that?"
The green short lady said as jo stand disappear shortly after, as he continued: "So, does that answer your question?"
Before any of them could speak, aya step forward and spoke up.
"Alright, we are here to tell you all that something is here, in your academy and we're here to investigate."
"investigate?"
The hear mistress said a little puzzle at this, while finnelan spoke up.
"And who is here?"
"An invader."
Jo said as the head mistress exclaimed: An invader?"
"yes, and we like to have some free roam in your academy, if you don't mind?"
Aya said which the head mistress ponder about that.
"hmm..."
They waited for a second as she said: "What's your name dear?"
"Aya, aya brea."
"Aya..."
She lean to the side looking at the other two members of the crew and back at her.
"I think I might have a solution."
"really?"
Monika spoke up, rather glad that they're not being send off.
"yes. The three of your girls will attend the academy."
"What!?"
The three girls shouted in unison, the others were shocked as well. Finnelan spoke up.
"B-but head mistress! They can't attend this academy! They're outsiders!"
She wave her hand at her: "Nonsense, Miss kageri is a foreign student with no background training on magic and she's doing well then before."
"B-but--"
"Is fine finnelan. The main reason they're being a student here is because they will have free roam here. Plus, I believe they need to prove that they have talent on magic as well. Since they already have powers as well."
"uhh, what?"
Heather said confused, jo was unsure about all of this.
"But what about me? I can't leave my team behind."
"yes, I know. You will have free roam to explore but their is still a few places that is off limits."
Monika was wondering about something.
"Excuse me head mistress?"
She turn her attention to her.
"yes?"
"If we're going be students here, does that mean we have to learn and study as well?"
"Yes, but to answer one of your other questions, you three will only be temporarily until your assignment is over."
This made Heather relieved, the same goes to a few of the teachers.
"well, that's great."
Monika said as the head mistress said.
"but even so, don't expect special privilege that your from another universes."
"right."
Monika and aya exclaimed sadden, as the head mistress than said.
"Now, may I get to hear your introductions?"
"right, Heather, your first."
Jo turn to her while saying that, Heather gave him a stink eye and step forward.
"...my name is Heather Mason. But is actually Cheryl."
This made finnelan a bit puzzled.
"If your real name is Cheryl, then why you call yourself Heather?"
She turned to her pondering about that as well: "Well, I kinda blame my teammates always calling me Heather so, I rather have you guys call me Heather, for now."
"alright, how about you Missy?"
The head mistress turned her attention to monika as she realized she's talking to her.
"oh! Well my name is monika."
"that's a lovely name dear, but what aboutyour last name?"
"oh, well i uhh... Don't exactly have a last name."
This made them confused as the head mistress said.
"You don't have a last name?"
Monika shook her head.
"is a, complicated story..."
They were quiet as the mistress spoke up.
"okay, well if is something personal than i won't question it."
Monika smile: "thank you."
She smiles as well, then changed afterwards: "well, I believe that's everyone. I believe Is time to set you all up for your room and your uniform."
"uniform?"
Heather exclaimed a bit displeasent, as the mistress finished: "yes. Professor finnelan, will you escort our new students to a private room to measure them to create their uniform?"
Jo spoke up: "What about me?"
"you'll follow them, and wait further instructions."
"right."
He exclaimed a bit displease about that, finnelan spoke to her: "My apologies head mistress, I got a class to teach. But I can assign them to an available teacher."
"oh, yes. Be it as it may."
Soon, finnelan left to get the next teacher while the others left as well to teach class. The four will have to wait outside as they waited for a minute until who ever shows up.
Heather spoke her mind: "well, this is great. We got to learn magic now."
"yes, I know this sound inconvenient but at least we're not thrown out."
Aya response to Heather comment, as monika said: "I doubt they would do that, but we still need to figure out who we're after."
"true. But hey, at least you got me, I get to look around the school to look for the person we're looking for."
Jo said which made Heather rather jealous and upset.
"Jeez, I didn't ask to become a witch or anything."
"none of us did."
Aya said as Heather continued.
"yeah, well now we got to learn magic. Is not like we're gonna need to learn anything about it."
Jo couldn't help but chuckle at it, even know he try to make it faint.
"what's so funny?"
Heather exclaimed which jo reply: "Sorry, but you sound like an antsy teen who is complaining about the school system."
He continued to chuckle which monika figured that out and couldn't help but smile and giggle faintly as well.
Heather wasn't fond of that: "Hey, shut up. Is still true though."
"okay, i can see what you mean."
Aya slowly agreeing which made Heather upset: "okay, now you guys are getting in my nerves."
"Sorry, but I can definitely understand Heather. We're not gonna stay here too long."
Monika said which have Heather glad to see someone agreed.
"yeah, tell me about it."
"i mean, i wasn't disagreeing."
Jo exclaimed, but their conversation was soon cut off as they heard echo footsteps coming closer to them. They turn around and saw a rather young woman with red hair and wearing glasses coming closer.
"hello, you must be the four that i heard of."
She got a little closer.
"My name is professor chariot. I'll be watching over you for the time being."
The four stare at her, rather focus on her beauty, she's quite good looking for a witch in this academy.
Monika was fond of this, and spoke up: "is nice to meet you chariot. You will be taking us to a room to measure us?"
Her sudden realization of that and said: "oh! Right, that's why I brought this."
She show them a measurement tape then lowered it.
"So, shall we get moving?"
"yeah, right guys?"
Jo said while turning to them. They all agreed as chariot turned around while saying.
"Alright, let's go."
The four follow her down the hall while remaining quiet for most of the walk.
