I Woke Up In A Completely Different World! 70 To Make A Witch, Part Vii

Kanna and the Headmaster landed in the Esnian Academy. It was the first time for Kanna and she cautiously looked around only to see First Marine soldiers. Nearly 2,000 soldiers had been deployed and more waiting for the signal.

Kanna: "Where are we?"

Headmaster: "Esnia… we're right in front of its admin building."

The place now looks more like a fort than an inst.i.tution of knowledge. First Marines are no joke when it comes to deploying. With the best hand-picked mages, they can quickly transport a battalion of soldiers and still have enough magic to do it several more times!

Headmaster: "They'll keep us safe. Follow me."

They entered the building to find the staff was all gone but the Headmistress. It was now filled with First Marines and Steven's current group. Young Mi, Rayna, and Rayna were comforting a terrified Joan. She didn't understand what was going on and automatically a.s.sumed the worst.

Young Mi: "Sh, sh, sh, it's okay…"

Rayna: "Joan… let me see her."

Joan comes into her arms where she held her close. It was the key to calm her down.

Rayna: "There, there… nothing's going to happen as long as I'm here."

Headmistress: "Young Mi, come—"

She comes out of her office and recognizes the Headmaster.

Headmistress: "Headmaster of the Everhand Academy?"

Headmaster: "Headmistress of the Esnian Academy."

She walks up to them and gets a good look at Kanna. Nekomatas are rare especially this far in Esnia and it made her stick out from everyone else in the Academy.

Headmistress: "Is this the girl?"

Headmaster: "She has a name."

Headmistress: "Kanna Hisakawa, I'm sorry. A lot has happened since this morning."

Rayna and Young Mi recognized the name and become drawn her. She wasn't as amazing as Steven said but it was obvious from the look on her face that she'd been through a lot herself.

Rayna: "By the name—is that actually her? Twilight moves so fast."

Young Mi: "Look at her, poor girl must have been having a rough time."

Kanna: "Is he alright?"

Headmaster: "Yes, where is he?"

Headmistress: "Follow."

They leave the admin building and head north to the infirmary. The place had mages of all types coming and going. Inside, things were getting claustrophobic in the halls. The Headmistress pushed through, clearing a way to one of the rooms.

Kanna: "Steven..? Steven!?"

He laid near motionless on the bed. Madelyn was next to him and another empty bed just ahead. However, Kanna was fixated on Steven and even tried forcing herself to his side. Everyone was holding her back and even the Headmaster was holding onto her arm.

Headmaster: "Easy, Kanna… he's alive. See him breathing?"

She settles down and starts whimpering.

The White Mage walks up to Kanna and introduces himself before getting right down to business.

White Mage: "Are you Kanna Hisakawa?"

She hides behind the Headmaster, wary of the stranger.

Headmaster: "Look, he's here to help him, Kanna."

Kanna: "Yes…"

White Mage: "I was made aware that you are Steven's master. Is he your only servant and do you have a master yourself?"

She shakes her head.

Kanna: "He's the only one I'm connected to."

White Mage: "Good… we need to move fast and cut you off from all outside magic. I need to put you in a suspended state, will you comply?"

She comes out of her hiding spot and nods.

The rest of the mages immediately start clearing out the room and the Headmaster is forced back outside the infirmary. He's left wondering if everything will go smoothly. The Headmistress soon came out along with anyone else that couldn't contribute.

Headmaster: "Headmistress."

Headmistress: "It's always a rare sight to see you standing and walking, Headmaster."

Headmaster: "You sound like my students."

He sighs.

Headmaster: "You think that girl has a chance of not becoming a witch?"

Headmistress: "I can't say; the only thing playing in our favor is the fact that we caught it so early on."

Again, they return to the admin building. The others hadn't moved from their seats. Joan had fallen asleep in Rayna's arms. She looked up when the door opened and greets the 2 as they walked in.

Rayna: "Headmistress, how is it?"

Headmistress: "We can't tell yet."

She grabs a seat for the Headmaster and proceeds to introduce him.

Headmistress: "Everyone, this is the Headmaster of the Academy in Everhand. He's also with Twilight like me."

Headmaster: "Nice to make your acquaintance. I am the one that kept an eye on him while he lived in the city."

The girls introduce themselves as well.

Young Mi: "My name is Young Mi, Scholar of Twilight."

Rayna: "Rayna Ifearnan, Loremaster of Twilight."

Lilith: "Lilith Klein, Scholar of Twilight."

Headmistress: "The rest are apparently back on Sefre."

Headmaster: "8 months ago you and Steven were trying to kill each other? What happened that makes you his friend?"

She looks down and twiddles her thumbs, leaving the rest of the group to answer for her.

Young Mi: "She ended up saving his life."

Lilith: "He forgave me… and said I was his friend."

Headmaster: "Yeah, he does that… I sometimes find myself wondering if he's wise or naive."

Rayna laughs.

Rayna: "Wise, naive, or just an idiot, I love him for who he is!"

Headmaster: "Rayna… I know who you are but I didn't know you had a child. Is she his?"

Rayna: "She's not mine, we came across her just yesterday."

Headmaster: "Oh, where are her parents?"

Rayna: "Pa.s.sed away. She's an orphan."

Headmaster: "Oh…"

The Headmistress walks into her office and takes a seat at her desk. While the door was open, she shouted loud enough for the others outside to hear.

Headmistress: "I still need to figure out what happened at the homestead. Young Mi, come on in."

Knowing that there was nothing else he can do, the Headmaster takes a seat at one of the desks. After finding a piece of parchment and pen, he begins to write out a report ahead of time.

Some more time pa.s.ses and Rayna eventually wakes Joan up as her arms were getting sore. She hops off Rayna and points to the Headmaster, not knowing who he was and curious. She takes her notebook and casually walks up to him.

Headmaster: "Oh, you're awake. h.e.l.lo."

Joan (Notebook): "Did you know Steven?"

He was puzzled for a moment then realizes that the girl might have a speech impediment.

Headmaster: "Yes, he's a student at my school. How do you know him?"

Joan (Notebook): "He saved me."

Headmaster: "Steven is a good man."

Joan (Notebook): "Will he be my dad?"

The Headmaster becomes impressed with how fast Joan can write and keep up with a conversation.

Headmaster: "Fast…"

He quickly comes back and answers after realizing that she asked a question.

Headmaster: "I can't speak for him. You should ask him when all of this is over."

Whenever that'll be…
