Next chapter! little insight into the main's past
Closing the door behind him, Nicolas let out a sigh. The day had been extremely long and incredibly tiresome. Opening up his small belt pouch, he started taking out his stuff and once the stack of clothes had been put away, he threw himself on the bed and fell into sleep without even taking off his clothes.
Nagi stood on the plains of Abraham, a great number of demons lay dead on the ground. Turning around towards the two teenagers behind him, he just smiled as if nothing had ever happened. Looking the eldest of the unidentical twins in the eyes he started laughing.
"Well, Nicolas, I'm glad to see you boys do carry the name of Springfield proudly! You and Jesse were even chosen by the great tree, and that's quite an honour" He signalled Nicolas to come closer and added more seriously "I'm very proud of you my nephew but you need to watch over Jesse, he is not yet ready to wield the greater art of Magia Erebea... it would consume him whole"
After that day, Nagi left the two boys to continue his own personal quests, but not before making Nicolas swear to watch over his younger brother...
Waking up sweaty and disturbed, Nicolas sat on the edge on the bed, breathing heavily. His head was full of remorse and doubt... he had swore... and he had failed to keep that promise. Forcing himself back to bed, he eventually found sleep again.
Everything had gone wrong. Nicolas had found Jesse just before he lost control of the dark art and, has readied himself to stop his brother, a now rampaging beast, at all costs, the great loss of power had occurred. Like a tidal wave destroying a cit, the blast of the millennium tree wiped out his powers and those of his brother in an instant. The last thing he saw, before being transported in another place, was the body of his brother radiating an unholy aura.
This time, it was not the dream that stole sleep from Nicolas but a great voice ripping him from sleep in a most brutal manner. Getting up to the windows, he looked outside. The building was surrounded by mages
You have got to be fucking kid...
"WE KNOW YOU CAN HEAR US NICOLAS! GET OUT OF THE BUILDING NOW!" the great voice boomed in the mage's ears again...the dean, no doubt.
"ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! I'M COMING OUT... stop screaming for Christ's sake..."
Walking out of the dorm, he was immediately surrounded. Staring straight ahead he looked at the old man whom he knew to be the dean, to his left Takahata looking worried and to the right Negi who did not dare to stare him in the eyes, a certain feeling of betrayal and anger rose up but was immediately pushed back. His makeshift guards slowed down.
"Well I can't say you guys know how to throw a proper greeting party but I'll give you props for trying" Nicolas's tone was bitter but not aggressive.
"I am not that impolite so I will greet you to Mahora academy and am also grateful for saving my daughter, her friends and our young mage from the horrible fate they suffered, but I would not do my job if I did not ask how it is that you still have you're powers.. you are a jumper are you not? Then all of your other powers should have been taken from you...how is it that you of all the others are different?" The dean had spoken in a soft yet firm tone that left no place for jokes or sarcastic replies.
"Not that I wish to show disrespect but it is a long story and all you need to know is that I wish you no harm and will not harm any of you" Nicolas looked around to the other mages who crowed the area.
"I don't really think that you're in any position to do us any harm... look down" Takahata had spoken for the first time.
"You mean the power lock you cast on the ground? Oh please... look" Nicolas cast a lightning bolt in the sky activating the major rune under him, but nothing else happened as he continued to shoot lighting to the sky "I can literally stop it from working...tell you what, I'll let it activate to show you that I'm really on your side but after that can we get down to business?" He released his hold on the locking rune and it completely ensnared his powers.
"I'm afraid that it's not enough. We'll need to strip you of your powers" Takahata added a sad smile on his face.
And all hell broke loose... dark red clouds filled the sky and electricity filled the air as booming voice resonated trough the campus.
"WHAT?" The incredibly loud voice shook the present mages to the bone and fear filled their hearts.
In a lightning flash appeared a young man dressed in a business suit fire dripping from his eyes.
"What is wrong with you people? I swear you are so sick and twisted... I mean the guy comes here saves your friends from a horrible ...HORRIBLE fate and you strip him of his power! It's no wonder that I have so much work with you guys around gosh! I mean ...really?" The new comer looked incredibly disappointed in the mages.
"The flamy eyes thing is new..." Nicolas was the only one that didn't look shocked by the appearance of the new guy.
"I KNOW RIGHT! It looks so awesome! I just found out how to do it like 5 minutes ago!" The young man's attitude changed from murderous to happy and carefree.
"And WHO would that be?" the dean asked being the first to recover from the dramatic entrance.
"Well I told you it was a long story but..."Nicolas let out a sigh "That's Jesse my twin brother... and the king of hell..."
duh duh duh! didn't see that coming did you? did you? probably did but anyway...
and now for the usual beg segment...REPLIES! please! I beg of you!
