Summary: Trying to find a meaning to her life, she applies for a wizarding school far away, even though she knows that her powers are next to none. Upon arriving, she is forced by the headmaster to join an organisation where the most powerful wizards lie, wanting her to improve. But what happens when she has to go deep into the hole of danger with them and their narcissistic leader? AU
"Are you kidding me?" Gene asks in surprise, while serving tea to Noll. "Even Mai could solve that case! And she's terrible!" He waves the teapot in exaggeration, and spills some tea in the process.
Serves him right for calling me 'terrible'. I mean I can't be perfect overnight! If I'm so terrible than why am I here to begin with!
"Clean that up." Noll orders immediately, closing his notebook. Gene plops himself next to Noll on couch.
"No!" He answers bravely, as he crosses his arms.
-"Yes."
-"No."
-"Yes."
-"Just shut up and drink your tea!" Gene finishes. Noll glares at Gene, and takes a sip from the tea cup.
"I'm afraid I can't accept your case." Noll states, placing his empty tea cup on the table, before looking at Gene expectedly. Gene sighs, while pouring Noll another cup of tea.
"But why? I beg of you! Please~~! You've got to go a little easy on your headmaster!" The headmaster begs. He is sat on the single chair opposite of Oliver and Gene, arms crossed. He makes a weird face, one about to offer a deal, lips pushing up at a corner, showing a very descent smirk.
"And I suppose your secret would be my family's life and soul that way."
Secret? Ooh I want to know! Maybe I can use it to persuade Gene into giving my stuff back. And maybe make Noll be nicer to me!
"Don't talk to my brother that way. Headmaster." Gene warns, leaning closer to the coffee table.
"What made you so brave? Is it not your secret too? Or maybe you're just stupid like your brother?" The headmaster continues.
The headmaster asked Noll to track down the "wizards" that have been bothering his daughter, Masako. By bothering, he means little things like abnormal spells on her books. I wasn't there half of the conversation, so I'm not sure. I just know that her daughter sounds like a spoilt brat. I'm already dreading meeting her.
"Have you not blackmailed us enough sir? As far as I'm aware, you have forced us to accept your untalented daughter into our team; made us accept multiple cases against our favour; and now you're insulting me and my brother! Who do you think you are?" Gene stands up furiously, and somehow, the teapot tips over on the headmaster, breaking on his leather shoes. Did I miss something? Wasn't the teapot near Noll and Gene?
"Calm down Gene." Noll pulls Gene by the back of his collar so he falls on the couch. Gene frowns, but listens to Noll nevertheless.
"Excuse my brother for his rather rude behaviour. Unfortunately, he gets very mad when idiocy crosses his way." Noll answers, making me and Gene erupt into fit of laughter.
"How can you call my daughter untalented?" He argues, completely ignoring the previous comment thrown his way.
"If your daughter's was so talented, then she would solve such a simple case herself. But since she can't, and you still think she's talented, we have no choice but to refer you to a psychologist." Gene says as he grins.
"Fine, but make sure the said psychologist is trustworthy, because they are going to be the exact person that I will tell who you are to first." The headmaster responds, mimicking Gene's grin.
Noll and Gene both sigh at the same time, and Gene rolls his eyes towards me as if to say: "go away". So I leave.
I don't know what happened, but somehow we're in front of this HUGE house, waiting for the headmaster (or anybody) to come out. It's not just me, Naru, and Gene anymore. This tall one-eyed person has decided to join as well. Now he's not actually one-eyed, but… let's just say that he wants to be one-eyed…
The one-eyed man, or Lin as the twins call him, knocks on the big double door. The door immediately opens, as if someone was desperate enough to wait behind the door. A girl comes out, with straight back hair and a blue flowery kimono, followed by no one other than the headmaster himself.
"Welcome!" The headmaster greets, waving his hand. The girl in front of him, who I'm assuming to be Masako, nods her head slowly, without saying anything.
Naru and Gene both nod their heads at the same time, and brush past the headmaster's shoulders into the house. Quiet rudely, I must say.
The girl looks at my way and frowns. "Hey there!" I say, after saying a short hello to the headmaster. "I'm Mai, what's your name?"
"Masako." Thought so. That is the only explanation to her already-known-to-be terrible personality.
A/N: The next story that I will be updating is probably Ghost Story, I don't know. I haven't updated that one in a while so… If you have a preference just leave it in the reviews.
