Chapter 16: Wizard City
"This is the right road?" Awase asked, as he kept driving.
"Mm-hm," Melissa said. "We should be there in less than an hour."
"And where exactly are we going?" Momo asked. "While I do appreciate you wanting to help me recruit people for Collibus Hills and O:CI, I would like to know where we're going…"
Melissa smiled. "Don't worry, Momo, it's not another swamp. In fact, it's a city."
"Oh, well, that's a relief to hear," Awase said. "What sort of city?"
"I'm not telling!" Melissa said, putting a finger on her lips. "That would ruin the surprise!"
Around thirty minutes later, Melissa told the LAVs to park.
Eijiro was a bit confused at what their guide was doing, but he trusted her. Plus, all she told them to do was fill up their bottles with water and eat whatever leftovers Sato made for breakfast as a sort of impromptu brunch, while she went over Yaomomo's inventory.
"And just to be extra sure, the captured general had gold on him?"
"Yes. General Kayama even let me use it for our missions." Yamomo responded. "It's inside the magic bag's pocket dimension as we speak. But we've never gotten to use it…"
"Well then, today is that money's lucky day," Melissa said.
"What exactly are we doing out here?" Bakubro asked.
Everyone behind him also let out a few noises of agreement.
"Oh, I was just letting everyone rest up a bit before we enter!"
"Enter? Enter what?" Rin asked. "There's nothing but grass out here. Well, grass, plus a couple of trees, roads, hills, and maybe a lake out in the distance? I can't see that far."
"Oh, don't get me wrong, the nature out here is pretty nice, but that's not what we came here for… this is." Melissa turned around, and said, "ARIOLOS IMPERARE!"
In a matter of seconds, the clear blue sky and empty fields in front of the cars began to fill with something, that something gaining more and more color and density by the second.
"Whoa!"
"What the fuck?!"
"Huh?!"
Everyone was shocked and amazed how, seemingly in an instant, an entire city had appeared in front of them, one of crystal, stone, metal and wood, where beautiful architecture and nature meet, and which seemingly glowed, even without the assistance of the sun.
If Eijiro had to describe witnessing this city appear he would say it was… magical.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Melissa said, gaining everyone's attention. "Welcome to Yueei-Shiketsu City, one of the three Magical Capitals of the world!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, back up! Magic? Like, actual magic?!"
"We've seen magic before, Kaibara," Kendo said. "Hagakure's illusions, Melissa's spells, our lieutenant's pocket dimension bag, the labyrinth's illusions, the magic storm, Mineta's medallion, the coral reef, and the literal gate that appeared in Musutafu! Or did you forget all that?"
"I didn't forget all that!" the geologist said. "It's just that our first-hand experience with the stuff has been sub-par, at best! If this city is as actually dedicated to magic as Shield implied, we could actually learn how this shit works on a scientific level from the source itself!"
"Plus, we could try to recruit anyone in the city for Operation: Cultural Integration…" Eijiro heard Yaomomo whisper, before she said out loud, "Melissa, you magnificent woman!"
"I knew you'd like it!" Melissa smiled. "Okay, guys, finish up eating, then we can head in, find ourselves some nice parking spots, and parooze to our hearts' content!"
"""YEEEAAAAAH!"""
As Awase drove past the open gate and into the streets of the city, Momo wondered something. "Melissa, you said that this city was one of the three Magical Capitals of the world."
"Yeah, Ketsubutsu-Seiai City is on the eastern continent of Orientem, while Isamu-Seijin City is located at Centrum, the continent between Orientem and Occidens, where we are," Melissa explained. "All three cities are independent from the nations surrounding them, due to the fact that so much knowledge is gathered in one location, but they do have… differences."
"Differences?" Awase asked.
"Ketsubutus-Seiai City is open to everyone, with both magic users and non-mages able to live in the city. Yuuei-Shiketsu is less open. Non-mages are able to visit, but they can't live here, plus, you need to know the password to find this place. And Isamu-Seijin does not allow non-mages whatsoever, with any discovered facing criminal prosecution, and possibly death."
"That sounds quite… discriminatory," Momo said, frowning.
"I think the logic is that if non-mages live in the cities, then soon enough, they'll stop being places of magic, and start just being ordinary cities," Melissa explained.
"That's an extreme logical leap for basically allowing muggles to get shot," Awase said.
"I know, and those policies somewhat reflect on their cities. Ketsubutsu-Seiai is prosperous, with the least amount of crime, while Isamu-Seijin has robbers magically stealing from some of its citizens, and cults hiding in the shadows. Meanwhile, Yuuei-Shiketsu is in the middle."
"There's a crime problem here?" Kirishima asked.
"Not exactly. Cults aren't as plentiful here as they are in Isamu-Seijin, but they pop up every now and then. Then again, there are rumors that this city was built on the remains of one of the old Demon Lords, so that's bound to attract people," Melissa explained.
"On a lighter note, why are their names so odd?" Momo asked.
"Each city was founded by two masters of the arcane, so their names are used for the city names. For example, Isamu-Seijin was founded by Isamu and Seijin, while Yuuei-Shiketsu was founded by Yuuei and Shiketsu, and so on and so forth," the angel answered.
"Each of the cities was founded by two magic users?" Kirishima asked.
"The old legends say that the six of them once used to be a group, living gods unparalleled in the ways of magic, but something happened that made them all split ways," Melissa said. "Then again, they could just be old rumors and fairy tales. There have been many calamities and world-changing events, so most records of ancient history usually end up lost."
"That's so sad…"
"Mmm… Oh, Awase, stop here, that's a good spot."
"All right, everyone!" Momo said. "You've been split into teams of three! Your missions are to learn all you can about magic, while also attempting to recruit anyone you can for Operation Cultural Integration. You've also been given a small budget of gold coins to spend. Magical items, spells, information, whatever it is, make sure that it's worth it. Understood?"
"""YES, MA'AM!"""
"Also, make sure to have fun!" Melissa added on. "That's very important!"
"Pfft, sure thing, Mom," Tsuburaba joked, making Kaibara chuckle.
"I want you all back here in six hours. Good luck," Momo said.
Katsuki couldn't believe he was stuck with the Frenchie and Monoma of all people.
At least Shitty Hair and the Lieutenant were tolerable. These two blond idiots were either completely self-absorbed with themselves, or complete brown-noses.
The only plus side to being stuck with them was that they weren't interested in conversation, unlike some certain losers who think that no one will know their hair is obviously dyed.
The three of them walked into a magic shop one of the locals told them about. Apparently, for a small fee, the owner would check them to see if they could use any magic.
Sounded like a scam, but whatever would help him survive in this world.
"Ah, welcome. I am Jurota Shishida," the store owner said. He was a demi-human, with fur all over his body, and a nose that reminded Katsuki of a dog or bear, but mostly a bear, given the round ears on the top of his head. He was also wearing a pair of glasses.
"Hello, I am Neito Monoma, and these are my companions. The spiky-haired one is Katsuki Bakugou, and the pretty boy is Yuga Aoyama. I take it this is Shishido's Spell Palace?"
"Indeed it is. My boss is currently out, but I am more than happy to assist you lovely gentleman with whatever you require," Shishida answered. "So, what brings you here today?"
"We heard that you can check to see what sort of magic someone has," Monoma said.
"Indeed, that is correct," Shishida said. "With a small fee, I am able to ascertain what sort of magic you gentlemen are able to use, and direct you to some proper tutors, if you'd like."
"Sure thing, that sounds nice." Monoma paid the fee for the three of them, using the gold Yaoyorozu gave them, and they then began. "Well then, how about we start with you, Aoyama?"
"Of course, whatever it is, it will shine," the French man said. The blond placed his hand on the magic crystal for a few seconds, before a couple of colorful sparks lighted up inside it.
"Ah, I see," Shishida said. "It appears that you have Personal Magic. Specifically, in the ability to create some sort of… powerful rays of light, and using them as projectiles."
"What does he mean…?" Aoyama asked.
"Lasers," Katsuki said. "He means you have lasers, numb-nuts."
"Oh, that's cool," Monoma said. "I guess it's my turn."
The second-in-command of the SREU placed his hand on the crystal ball, and pretty soon, sparks of green and yellow lights made themselves known.
"A second type of Personal Magic," Shishida said. "It appears that you're able to copy some of the spells of others, provided you can touch them, and actually know how they work."
Seriously?! That's frickin' OP! Katsuki thought to himself. "All right, my turn!"
The explosive blond placed his hand on the crystal ball, and after a few seconds, some lights popped up, as usual. However, when Katsuki looked at the demi-human's face… it was carefully blank. Almost like he was shocked deep inside, and was now calming himself.
"What?"
RRRRR… PING!
"Dude! That guy just turned that other guy into a bunch of cats!"
"Sato and I saw the same thing as you, Awase," Rin said. "And I'm still confused."
The three of them had to admit: This place was weird, all right. It might have been due to the fact that all the locals here were wizards, but this place felt like walking in an alien world.
So far, they had seen people turning into clouds after drinking potions, random dudes jumping into portals, others turning invisible, random assholes shooting energy projectiles in the air, teleporters, they even saw someone fucking astral project their soul out of their body!
And they still didn't know how any of that shit worked.
"I wonder if there's any magic that can make my food tastier…" Sato wondered.
"Maybe, let's ask those guys over there," Awase said, pointing to a crowd.
"What are they all looking at?" Rin wondered, as the three of them made their way through the crowd. And as soon as they made it to the other side, Rin whispered, "Oh, what the fuck?"
In front of the crowd, laying there in the middle of the street was a corpse.
"Stand aside, citizen!" a blindfolded mage said. "This is an active crime scene!"
The three of them backed off into the crowd, as they watched what they figured were the local authorities conducting their investigation. The dead body looked like it had exploded from the inside out, with parts of the bone visible alongside the flesh, one of the eyes had popped out of the socket, and a pinkish-purple substance seeping out of the body, almost like blood.
As one of the blindfolded mages began drawing a chalk outline around the body, the three soldiers could hear the bystanders whispering amongst themselves.
"They say that the poor bastard died in the early morning…"
"Some sort of magic experiment gone wrong?"
"Maybe some cultists did something to him…"
"Go on about your business!" one of the investigators shouted, as a large ethereal red circle with a diameter was conjured right in front of them. "Move along, nothing to see here!"
Ochako entered the building alongside Kinoko and Kodai, to find a cross between a tavern and a hotel. In short, an adventurers' guild that you'd find in your typical role-playing game.
The receptionist, a woman with blue hair, fin-like ears and webbed hands, greeted them. "Greetings, travelers! I am Sirius. What business do you have here today?"
"Hi there! Um, we were told you conduct magical aptitude and affinity tests?"
Sirius nodded. "That is correct. There is a small fee, but after that, we can proceed. If you'd like to further your interest, I could also redirect you to certain magical guilds afterwards."
"That's nice of you, but we should do the initial test first," Ochako said.
"Of course," Sirius nodded, as she pulled out a crystal ball. "Simply put your hand on the crystal, and the lights it produces will give you a reading, which I will gladly interpret for you."
The three soldiers of the SREU nodded in understanding, and paid the initial fee to the receptionist. Looking at each other, Kodai asked, "So… who wants to go first?"
"Ehh, I guess I'll do it," Komori said, as she put her hand on the crystal ball.
The three of them watched for any sign of light coming from the crystal, anything at all. And then, after around fifteen seconds… a small spark of light brown appeared.
"Fascinating…" Sirius said. "It appears to be some sort of Personal Magic. Tell me, is there anything you have that is a special sort of interest to you? A hobby, perhaps?"
"Well… I study plants for a living. Oh, I also love mushroom puns!"
"I see. Then, I would recommend you see one of the visiting druids."
"We can discuss what comes after once we're all done," Ochako said, and Sirius gave her an understanding nod. "Anyways, I guess it's my turn now. Let's see…"
Ochako put her hand on the crystal ball, and pretty soon, purple-and-black lights appeared.
"Oh, wow!" Sirius said. "It's mostly Elemental Magic, specifically of the dark variety, but instead of the usual shadow techniques, it appears that you're skilled in gravity-based magic."
"Oh, wow, really? And what's the rest of it read?" Ochako asked.
"Gravity magic from the other categories of magic, including two high ones from the Level Magic category, but the rest of it… you'll have to find those out for yourself, sorry."
"Congratulations, Occhan," Kodai said. "You're overpowered."
"Thanks, I guess, uh… Yui-chan?" Ochako said. "Anyways, your turn."
"Mm," the black-haired woman hummed, and placed her hand on the crystal.
In an instant, the entire room was engulfed in a bright light.
"And you're sure that this disguise is working?" Momo asked.
"Of course. Unless I purposefully reveal myself, everyone will think I'm human."
Momo had to admit, it did seem somewhat convincing. Gone were the wings on Melissa's back, along with parts of her armor. So, at the moment, she just looked like an average human.
"Uh, question: What's with the glasses?" Kendo asked.
"Oh, these?" Melissa gestured to her spectacles. "I think they look nice."
"All right, now that we have that out of the way, I suppose that we should look around for anything useful," Momo said, as she scanned the city streets.
"Keep back! Cultist! We have a cultist coming through! Keep a wide berth!"
"What's all that commotion?" Kendo asked.
The three ladies looked towards the main street, where they saw two blindfolded mages escorting someone in a purple robe, their hands cuffed in chains.
"Melissa, who are those blindfolded mages?"
"They're the Auctoritates," she answered. "They're basically the city's law enforcement."
"Any particular reason they're wearing blindfolds?" Kendo asked.
"From what I heard, their eyes have been imbued with powerful magic that can potentially end someone's life," Melissa said. "So, I think the blindfold is there to make sure they don't misuse their power. Plus, it's aesthetically fitting to the whole "justice is blind" thing."
"I see… and who exactly are they hauling off?" Momo asked.
"A cultist," she answered. "We would use the term "dark magic user," but that would reinforce negative stereotypes of mages who used dark-based magic and their fellow associates, so we went with cultists. It also helped that the magical ones are as fanatic as actual ones, and as sinister, too. They're responsible for a majority of crimes within the Magical Capitals."
"What do they exactly do?" the black-haired woman asked.
"They perform unethical rituals, such as summoning demons and devils, for the sake of power or destruction. When it comes to rituals that require sacrifices, their subjects are typically unwilling abductees that don't survive their practices. It's considered the civic duty of all within the Magical Capitals to hunt them down when the Auctoritates aren't available."
The more Momo learned about magic, the more complicated it seemed to get.
Eijiro didn't know why, but he had the sneaking suspicion he was being followed.
Every now and then, from the corner of his eyes, he would see a flash of pink, mixed in with a bit of yellow and black. But when he turned around, whoever they were, they either disappeared behind an alleyway or within the crowd. Clearly, they didn't want to be seen.
"Hey, guys, wanna parooze around the shopping district?" he asked Kaibara and Tsuburaba. If they went indoors, there was a good chance that their bogey wouldn't follow.
"Yeah, sure," Tsuburaba said. "How about this one?"
Eijiro looked up to see a sign with… a bunch of shapes? Triangles, rectangles, ovals, and a couple of non-linear lines. They were probably symbols representing something.
"Yeah, sure, why not?" he said, as the three of them walked through the door.
The place was full of wands, shields, chests, potions, robes, and a few other curious antiques. A magic item shop, Eijiro figured. As the door closed behind them, they could see a short, gecko-looking lizard pop his head up from behind the counter. The shopkeeper, most likely.
"Welcome, brothers!" the turquoise lizardfolk said. "Rapt Tokage has spells for mages of all varieties! No need for memorization, incantation, or hard-to-find dragonshit!"
"Oh, is that true?" Eijiro said, keeping an eye on the window.
"Yep! All you need to do is pop open one of these babies and… TA-DA!" Rapt said, as he opened up a purple bottle, causing pink lightning to shoot out of it.
"Okay, that's super cool," Kaibara whispered to Tsuburaba.
"We even have a bottle return program and all that shit! So, whazzup?"
"Hmm… you got anything that can make our dicks bigger?" Tsuburaba asked.
Eijiro sighed, but hey, he could no longer see whoever was following them.
Ochako walked into the empty field with floating rocks and buildings.
She had to admit, the place was pretty sound: An empty field far away from the main city, completely dedicated for the development, usage and training of extremely powerful magic and spells, especially those that could potentially pose a danger to the city itself.
While she was technically alone, she wasn't that far off from her designated team. Komori was alongside her in the field, just somewhere where she could practice her magic in peace, while Kodai was inside one of the various floating buildings, being trained by her own tutor.
Sirius ended up saying that the magic the three of them were learning could have potentially disastrous results, so she ended up calling several different guilds and telling them to head to the "Agros Magic Training Fields," or the "Agros Fields," for short.
In all honesty, Ochako was just expecting a flat plane with lots of tall grass, not some sort of environment where reality itself seemed to be crumbling around her. Oh, sure, her little area was nothing more than floating rocks and buildings, but on her way there, she could have sworn she saw the landscape shifting around her, from giant trees being grown in an instant, to water itself defying the laws of physics, to random shit just spawning in out of nowhere.
"Who dares encroach within my domain?"
Ochako snapped out of her thoughts when she saw someone above her. Literally. She was standing on top of one of the various boulders that was just floating in midair.
She was… unnaturally beautiful. That could be said for a lot of the locals in this world, but this woman was… something else. She was wearing what Bakugou would describe as your stereotypical "sexy witch" outfit, including the staff with a crystal on top and a large hat, but the part about her that seemed so… otherworldly, definitely had to be her face.
She looked human, all right, with the well-defined physique of a woman. But her hair was short and dark, the majority of it a navy blue, but there was also a part of her that was blonde. She knew that thanks to Hagakure that humans could have multiple natural hair colors in this world, but it was still amazing every time she saw it. And her eyes… they may have been dirt-colored, but they looked like they held the secrets of the universe within them.
"I ask again… who dares encroach within my domain?"
Ochako snapped out of her stupor when the being floating above her asked that question again. Right, she was within a region full of all-powerful magic users that probably didn't like to wait, she'd better start talking before the witch in front of her got some ideas.
"Um, sorry to intrude, but I came here looking for a lady by the name of Anan Kurose. Sirius-san sent me here, she said that I'd be able to learn gravity magic from her?"
"Is that so?" The floating witch kept her poker face, but a part of it suddenly shifted. "Wait… that mana… hmm… you have potential, yes… very well… I shall tutor you…"
Ochako's eyes snapped open. "Wait, are you Anan Kurose?!"
"Am I not standing above a group of rocks that refuse to listen to gravity?" the witch asked. "However, if you require more proof, then I shall give it to you… CAVEM NIGRUM!"
Suddenly, a hole teared open within space itself, as a literal black hole appeared behind the woman. Ochako screamed, as she felt herself floating off of the earth and getting sucked in alongside the floating rocks, however, before it happened… She was back on the ground.
The black hole was gone. And the witch was right next to her.
But now that Ochako looked at her… he could see that this was no human.
She had pointed ears, along with sharp translucent wings on her back. From what the brown-haired soldier had heard from Shield, that meant that the woman in front of her was a fairy, a race capable of living for centuries. Which meant lots and lots of experience.
"Does this serve as proof of my status?" Kurose asked.
Ochako now knew for a fact that these lessons were gonna be interesting.
Momo looked around her group of soldiers as the sun was setting. The majority of them looked exhausted, but she could see a couple of smiles on some of their faces.
"Okay, time for a status report," Momo said. "What did you learn?"
"That I am Death, destroyer of worlds," Bakugou said, with a very creepy smile.
Okay, Momo decided not to touch that with a three-meter pole. She looked over to Monoma, hoping that he had something more comprehensible to share with the class.
"We visited a magic shop that checked us to see if we could become wizards," the blond explained. "Oh, by the way, I need to touch any of you that do have magic."
Momo decided to ignore Kendo's sputtered coughs after hearing that.
"Well, me and Kosei hit the jackpot," Kaibara said, as he pulled out a yellow bottle. "BAM! A potion that makes your dick bigger when you recite the words and apply the cream on –"
"OKAY! That's enough out of you!" Kirishima said, as he placed his hand on Kaibara's mouth, and pulled out a blue bag. "But we did have some extra money left over… so we also got this."
Momo inspected the bag. "Wait… is this another bag of holding?"
Kirishima smiled. "Yeah! I figured that if the eggheads back at the base didn't cut it open to see how it works, we could use it to store even more stuff during our expeditions!"
Momo smiled. "Well, I'll make sure to put in a good word for you, Kirishima. Next?"
"I may or may not have accidentally become a goddess," Kodai answered.
Momo stared for a few seconds before talking again. "Komori? Uraraka? Answers, please."
"Okay, so we might have done the same thing as Bakugou and found a lady who checked us for magic!" Uraraka spilled. "Turns out, Komori can make mushrooms spawn out of nowhere, and I have the power over gravity, and Kodai… she might have taken her healing to the next level?"
Melissa's eyes widened at that. "How powerful is she?"
"I can heal any wounds," Kodai answered bluntly. "I can cure diseases, prevent instant-death attacks, and even resurrect the recently departed. Not even death can stop me now."
Everyone simply stared at the black-haired woman, with a few of them even slowly backing away. Momo, meanwhile, watched as Melissa's face shifted into existential horror.
"Oh, fuck," the disguised angel whispered. "You guys are harboring an Ultimate."
Kendo's head quickly spun back. "I'm sorry, we're harboring a WHAT?"
"Ultimates are the best of the best when it comes to their magic's aspect," Melissa explained. "The founders of the three Magical Capitals were considered that by historians. The rulers of the Todoroki Empire are called that over their masteries of fire and ice. Both the past and current Demon Kings are in the same league. In short, beings that could be considered living gods, and also have the potential to ascend and become legitimate gods themselves."
Everyone stared at Melissa in shock for a few seconds, before looking back at Kodai. Yeah, no, even Momo was having a hard time comprehending what she just heard.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Awase shouted. "If that's the case, then how come civilization is still standing?! Wouldn't all of these overpowered mages have decimated everything by now?!"
"Well, it's mostly because of two reasons: One, they're magic users, and two, they're magic users," Melissa explained. "For the first reason, mages still need time to strategize and call upon their spells. Theoretically speaking, Aoyama would still be able to kill an Ultimate with a sniper rifle if he was from a distance. Plus, anti-magic still exists. Trap them in a barrier of that stuff, and the only thing they would have left would be their natural abilities and Skills."
"Question: Why was the second reason the same as the first?" Awase asked.
"Because, while for the first reason, I was referring to their physical abilities, for the second reason, I was referring to their careers. There are other people with other talents, like making food, or running a government. The smarter Ultimates know this, so they protect those weaker beings from outside threats in exchange for goods and services that they themselves can't do."
"So, they act more as feudal lords instead of outright tyrants," Bakugou figured.
Well, that was comforting for Momo. At least now they knew that the living equivalents of atomic bombs in this world weren't usually so keen on annihilating everything just for the funsies.
Still, she hoped that nothing else today would cause her adrenaline to spike.
"Hey, wait a minute," Tsuburaba said. "Where the hell is Sato?"
Goddammit, spoke too soon.
"Shadow demons, search the entire city."
Shihai Kurorio remained silent as he watched his summoned monsters fan out into the streets of Yuuei-Shiketsu City. It had taken the dark elf weeks to arrive, he was gonna make sure he left no stone unturned. He didn't want to anger his master by being careless with his search.
If Melissa Shield was in this city, he would know by the end of the day.
In the meantime, Shihai figured he'd take to the roofs. It'd give him a better view.
I will find her… I shall earn the Demon King's favor… I swear it!
Author's Note: Yes, the chapter title is a reference to Adventure Time, sue me.
For those of you who don't know, Jurota Shishida is the furry guy from Class 1-B; in this universe, I've given him that black leathery nose that dogs have, along with bear ears, just to emphasize that he's a demi-human. Sirius is one of Selkie's sidekicks, except this time around, her fish-like ears are real, and she has a few more aquatic traits. Rapt Tokage is from MHA: Vigilantes, and since he was already a lizardman, he pretty much looks the same as his manga counterpart, just with medieval clothes. And Anan Kurose is the wonderful Thirteen, except now she has swapped out her astronaut suit for a witch one, plus, she now has elf ears and fairy wings. Also, at least one of these new characters is gonna show up again! In the meantime, it's comment reaction time!
threeque: Hey, welcome to the party, I hope you've enjoyed the chapters you've binged on so far. Thanks for all the positive words, but I guess there aren't that many people who are interested in my kind of AU. Still, I'm glad you've been keeping up, from the reveal of Mina, to the rabbit incident. Hope you'll be here for all future updates!
