Haruki was the twin with his black hair going to the left and Haruto was the boy with his hair going towards the right.
"Yea, right." Haruki said, with a slight scoff.
"We did try our best, but you're too good Nii-San." Haruto stated, with a slight sigh.
"Yep, Nii-San's the greatest." Nariko stated, with a cheerful expression.
"You three may be triplets but you totally different personalities. Haruto is the arrogant and cocky one, Haruki is the calm overthinking one, and Nariko is the cute and cheerful one." Takeo stated, with a smile.
"Yep, yep we're the Magical Trio." Nariko stated, with a bright smile.
Haruki looked at her with an irritated expression, while Haruto remained indifferent.
"But, I can't wait to graduate and become a Freelancer like you, Nii-San." Haruto stated, as he ate his banana crepe.
"Yea, it must be great going to Mundus Magicus and do whatever mission they give you." Haruki stated, as he ate his strawberry crepe.
The four of them ate their crepes, until Takahata walked towards them with a smile on his face.
"Taka-Kun!" Nariko called with a big smile.
"Hey, old guy." Haruki added.
Haruto looked up and greeted him with a nod. Takahata smiled at all three of them and nodded.
"Hey, Takahata-San. Do you have an assignment for me?" Takeo asked.
Takahata nodded and picked up a letter from his pocket and handed it to him. Takeo opened the letter and nodded at Takahata. 'Demon Extermination', a pack of low ranked demons are coming near our village.
"I'll be there, there should be a gate at one of the shrines here." Takeo said, he looked at the three of them with a smile. "Can you take them home Takahata-San?" Takahata nodded.
"We don't need a babysitter, if we're in trouble then I can handle it with magic." Haruki stated, in an angered tone.
"Now, now don't be like that Haruki-Kun." Takahata said, with his usual smile.
Haruki glared at him with great irritated and pointed a wand at him.
"Practe Bigi Nar. Ignite!"
Haruki ignited Takahata's beard without the slightest bit of hesitation.
"That little brat!" Asuna called out, with an enraged expression.
"Hey, I'm trying to tell a story." Takeo responded.
"Nii-Chan/San/Haruki!" Nariko, Haruto and Takeo called out.
Nariko quickly pulled out her wound and pointed it at the flames.
"Practe Bigi Nar. Water!"
Nariko fired off a blast of water that blew out the flames, but knocked Takahata backwards. Three hours later, Takeo appeared in the castle in the Mundus Magicus. He was handed a profile, which stated a back of demons will attack the village far from the castle.
"If they're this weak then why ask for a Freelancer?" Takeo asked, placing the documents on the table.
"I don't think we should waste our military to deal with this issue, when we can sent a brat like you." The King stated coldly.
"Actually you're right, I expect half of my pay now and the other half after I finish my job." Takeo responded.
"Actually, you'll get the full pay now. I don't expect to see you again." The King stated, as he handed Takeo his pay.
Takeo smirked and headed towards the location where the demons will arrive, he looked forward and saw a small brigade heading towards the village.
"Alright, let's get stated. Fulmine Cadens De Trorum…"
Around thirty minutes later, Takeo defeated the entire demon brigade. Each of them were unconscious and badly beaten or dead.
"This was too easy of an assignment." Takeo stated, with a bright smile.
But he was stopped as the demon general started laughing at him. Takeo looked in that expression and prepared to finish him off.
"Y-You…fool, you just walked into their trap." The demon general stated, before he died.
Takeo looked at him with a confused expression, but it vanished as he felt a large mass of magical energy. As soon as he looked back a large amount of lightning was fired on top of the village, Takeo looked at the village as it was burning away.
Without hesitation he ran towards the village, once he got there he saw the entire village being burned away.
"Wh-What…happened to the villages?" Takeo asked, in disbelief.
He ran through the village looking for survivors.
"Is there anyone left alive?!" Takeo called out.
He heard a piece of rubble falling on the ground, he listened carefully and heard a girl crying. Once he got there he found a black haired girl his age with rubble preparing to fall on top of her.
"Fulmine Cadens De Trorum. O 100 Spirits of Lightning. Come Together and Strike my Enemy. Magic Arrows Series of Lightning."
Takeo fired off a blast of lightning arrows and destroyed the rubble, Takeo ran and checked up on the girl.
"Hey are you alright?" Takeo asked.
"…Yea…" The girl answered, with a mortified expression.
Once he got there, he saw the King and another obscured man standing next to him. Both of them glared at the teen, the obscured man standing beside the king held his hand out.
"Soldiers, seize this boy and take revenge for the lives he took!" The obscured man ordered.
Takeo's eyes widened as soldiers surrounded him, he quickly took the scared girl and ran away from the soldiers, the King and the obscured man.
"What the hell's going on?!" Takeo asked himself.
His story ended there, he looked up and saw Negi, Asuna and Chamo looking at him with saddened expression.
"After all that, I couldn't go back to the Magical World out in the open. And I still don't know who or why they killed everyone, then framed me." Takeo stated.
"Takeo-San, I'm so sorry." Negi said, as he started shedding tears.
"It's alright, I probably didn't make things very easy for you to trust me." Takeo responded, with a smile.
"What happened to that girl you saved?" Asuna asked.
"Her parents were in that village, so I took her to back to your grandparent." Takeo answered.
"The only ones who knows the truth, is the Dean and Takahata-San."
The room went silent, and Takeo said goodbye to Asuna, Negi and Chamo.
"Alright, come on out Yue-Chan!" Takeo called out.
Yue came from behind her desk and sighed. She started walking towards him with a deadpanned look.
"How did you know I was still here?" Yue asked, as she walked towards him.
"You know eavesdropping isn't very nice." Takeo said, as he smiled at her.
"Sorry, I got a little curious about why you was talking with Negi-San and Asuna-San." Yue answered, as she looked at Takeo with a saddened expression.
"Hey, don't give me that look." Takeo stated. "Now, do you want to join me for lunch?"
Yue nodded with a smile, as Takeo led her towards where was meeting Yuna, Ako, Chizuru and the cheerleader trio. On the way there, Takeo began explaining about the magic school he attended and she told him about her friends.
"So, Nodoka-Chan has a crush on Negi-Kun. Along with Makie-Chan and Ayaka-Chan." Takeo said to himself.
"Well, if you ever need help you could always ask me." Yue smiled at his statement, she turned around to hide the fact she was blushing slightly.
"Hey, guys. Sorry I'm late!" Takeo called out.
He grabbed Yue's hand and started pulling her along with him.
"Takeo-San's hand." Yue thought, with a slight blush.
Once he got there, he looked and saw Chao and Satsuki bringing them their food.
"Hey, Chao-Chan and Satsuki-Chan!" Takeo called out.
Both of them waved at him happily. Chao looked at him, with a bright smile and Satsuki looked at him with a worried look.
"Hey, Takeo-Kun!" Chao said, with smile. "By the way thank you again for leading those wolves away. By the way, how did you do that without everyone noticing?"
"Well, I always had a way with dealing with wolves." Takeo explained, with a smirk on his face.
"Though Takeo-San, next time don't be so reckless. If you continue to do things like this, you'll injure body even more." Satsuki said to Takeo.
"Alright, I promise Satsuki-Chan." Takeo promised with a smile, he looked around and didn't see Ako anywhere. "Hey, where's Ako-Chan?"
Yuna looked around and didn't see her anywhere.
"I don't know she said, she wanted to show you something." Yuna answered.
