So let’s recap, I found a secret entrance at St. Esclaire’s private school that lead to a meeting of the principal and the two boys, discussing about some Entity that hurt their friend, and about how they are powerless unless they could use magic like the Wizards society.

That’s what I gather from their previous talk at least. The heck. Can one of you explain what is going on? What Entity, what Wizards society? Speak English please!

Ralph 「 Principal, isn’t there something we can do? We can’t wait for a dispatch from the Wizards society. 」

Principal Gorden 「 Don’t worry. I actually put a request to the Esper society and they are sending a fighter that is stationed nearby. 」

Ralph 「 A nearby esper? You don’t mean… 」

Carl 「 That psycho, Maeve?! Are you insane principal? 」

Principal Gorden 「 We don’t have much choice. This thing has already attacked David so we don’t have time to waste. She’s on her way right now. 」

Carl 「 That crazy girl almost killed us the last time we ran into her just because she didn’t like looking at us! 」

They’re talking about some crazy strong girl, and they mentioned that she’s an esper? I know of ESP, so it stands to reason that an esper is one of those people: psychics. So besides a society of mages now there’s a society of psychic espers? I think different genres of story are being mixed up here.

Principal Gorden 「 It’s too late to discuss this. She should be here any minute now. 」

Why does that make me feel nervous? All of a sudden I feel a stare at my back and turn around to see a girl glaring at me.

She is young, around my age. More importantly, she is staring at me directly even though I should be cloaked and suppressed. There shouldn’t be any signs that I am here but she is staring right at me.

At first I suspect she is staring at the door I am in front of, but her stare is directed at my exact eye contact. When I tilt my head to the side her eyes follow mine.

Then she decides to act and launches an attack at me. A surge of psychic energy bombards me and I’m forced to block it with my hand as I circulate Qi around it to protect it. Her eyebrows furrow in suspicion.

The three inside the room hear the commotion so I can’t hide outside the door anymore. I open it up and cast off the illusion magic masking me.

Carl 「 What? What’s going on? 」

Ralph 「 I recognize Maeve from the esper society, but isn’t that the new transfer student? 」

Principal Gorden 「 This spells trouble. 」

It seems my cover is blown, now what to do? They all appear hostile to my unexpected invasion so I need to defuse the situation.

Becca 「 Let’s stay calm everyone. I’m not here to hurt anyone. I’m Becca, a… hero? 」

Silence stifles the room that you could hear the breeze. The boys have a cramped expression like they swallowed a sour candy. Maeve grins in a creepy stalker way.

Maeve 「 I don’t care what you are. Hero or not, I’m gonna kill you. 」

Becca 「 I’m hoping that you won’t. 」

Maeve looks like she’s going to shank me with a rusty knife cackling like a maniac. The principal interjects quickly when he realizes something.

Principal Gorden 「 Wait, this energy, are you a cultivator? 」

Becca 「 Me? 」

Principal Gorden 「 That spirit energy is what the cultivator society trains in. Their martial arts are ancient and strange but filled with abundant life force. I’m come across a cultivator or two before. 」

Sounds like my Qi. I’ve heard of some books on martial artists that gather the energy of heaven, cultivate it and increase their strength until they reach immortality. Apparently Earth has secret societies of magic, psychics, and now martial artists that cultivate.

This is actually a lucky break since he has only seen the Qi energy I used earlier. I can bluff with this.

Becca 「 That’s right. I’m a wandering cultivator. Although the cultivator society and I don’t associate, we have a good enough relationship that they asked me to investigate the incident about David. 」

The principal digests my words for a moment with caution.

Principal Gorden 「 Miss Maeve, you should let us speak. I feel that this girl is here for the same reasons as you. 」

Carl 「 Who would have thought that the new student was one of us. 」

Ralph 「 Maybe she can help us kill that thing. 」

They bought my lie. Their guard lowers as planned and I sigh in relief. However, that Maeve girl is still staring daggers at me and still seems raring to go.

Maeve 「 I don’t care. I’m here to kill. Doesn’t matter if it’s a human, npc or otherwise. I kill what I want to kill. 」

I heard them describe her as a psycho and I’m starting to see why. She’s just going to disregard the fact that not only am I a human being like her, but also a member of the secret societies that are part of this unseen world.

Maeve 「 Enough stalling. Let me eviscerate you. Please? 」

Even if you give me that euphoric look I’m not letting you near me.

I sense her psychic energy building at a crazy rate as if she is planning to blow the whole building away. I use Warp magic and teleport all the people in the room to the school’s empty courtyard outside.

Principal Gorden 「 Teleportation? Was it Maeve? No. Then, is it Becca? Must be some sort of spiritual device. 」

I panicked and used magic but I guess he was too preoccupied to notice.

Carl 「 Oh man, she’s gonna kill us! 」

Ralph 「 Principal, is the cognition barrier in place? 」

Principal Gorden 「 I had it setup as soon as she stepped foot in school grounds. No one should pay any attention to us and stay far away. 」

Ralph 「 Hey transfer student, try to hold out or something. She’s going to go on another rampage so we gotta call in reinforcements. 」

Principal Gorden 「 I’ll contact the local Wizards society. The nearest outpost is a ways away but they can help us. I’m going to put in a complaint with the esper society for sending her to us. 」

You expect me to entertain this crazy chick? She’s oozing killing intent and staring me down like delicious prey.

Maeve 「 I’m sure you won’t die quickly, being a hero and all. 」
