"Are you sure of that?" I ask the man that is holding a trigger to my chest.

"You should be crying or calling your mom, not asking me that."

I roll my eyes, not that he could see. How do I got myself into this? It should be a normal class trip, but noo, root hates our family! Now I'm in a convenience store, with a wanna be thief, and an UNLOADED gun to my chest!

...

"Listen Keiko, Analysis is the simplest ability of a magus, yet with proper development, one of the most useful. You could in conjunction with reinforcement, strengthen any weapon to its maximum or-"

"Mom! Just show the damn magic already!"

"No you should know its uses and flaws beforehand, stupid! Now sit and Learn!"

And I learned.

And Analysed everything I've could get my hands on.

...

"Keiko! Don't touch that! Who let you in my workshop!" Asked father.

"What is that Tou-san? And why is dangerous, it have no edge! Is round!"

"That Keiko-chan, is a gun, and it shoots a bullet soo fast that it pierces people even if it don't cut." He explained.

"Why you have it?"

"I was trying to research father's stuff, and he used one."

"Can't I see?"

"Yes, let me just unload it."

"Unlowhat?

"Take the bullets, erm this," He gave me a piece of brass, "out."

He let me touch it. And I Analyzed it.

And when he gave me the gun, and I analyzed it too, it made sense, like nothing else ever had. I saw it being made, I saw it shooting, I saw it being cleaned, and I saw it being sold to father.

"-o, Keiko! Are you alright? You spaced out, dear."

"It's nothing Tou-san. Here, your gun."

...

"And that is how you make a projection." Father showed me. "Now try to make something, anything that is familiar to you."

"Ok." I focused, and imagined gun being armed to shoot, and pulled the trigger deep within my mind. And the said gun, the Contender came to my hands by a flare of my magic.

"A gun?" Kaa-san said indignantly.

"Is it bad?" Kaa-san angry is always bad...

"No dear, just... unusual." Father said embarrassed.

...

I imagined the cock of the gun being pulled back, and released back, deep within myself. "Action open. Charge, load, and fire." I mumble.

"Haha! That is more like it! Now you got the situation you're in cutie!" He rubbed the gun in my chest. "I'm going to take you with me, have fun with you and-"

I shot his arm with his own gun, that I simply loaded with a traced bullet, forcing him to release me. And on top of it, he made THE mistake. He released his gun.

And I took it.

"Arrghh! How! Damn it! How?"

I shoot his hand covering the wound. "Now try and take advantage of a girl, Idiot!" And then, his junk.

"AAARRRGGHHH!"

I turn and walk away, to the stunned policeman at the door, who has arrived to negotiate my releasing. "Here, his gun."

And go back to the bus.

It's going to be a looong day...
