Chapter 61: Recommendation

Two weeks after the demon invasion that apparently failed after the intervention of the magicians which includes me, everything returned to normal. For the people who unfortunately got killed in the event were given false accidents and were devised to have died in some sort of freak accident. Although we are magicians, even high ranker magicians have no means to revive the dead. It is a big taboo in magecraft to perform dead resurrection rituals. Magicians who do that are called Necromancers but they don't use humans on their magic except if the necromancer is a rogue magician who broke the rules.

Society is back to business again in Tokyo and all of the damages that occurred in the city were all repaired by a bit of restoration magic. If you are one of the individuals who did not get affected by the mind wipe, you would never expect that something happened a few weeks ago that killed most people if not for the intervention of magicians. But due to this, the Council of Magicians has been very active lately on hunting the leaders of the demons and exterminating monster-infested places and malice marked areas. I guess they are trying to stop whatever the demons are planning and don't want to repeat the incident.

Me? I am already fully recovered from my injuries and the occasional pain from my muscles is already gone too which is pretty good too. Moonlight already managed to recover from her mana over-usage. Of course, Otome did not forget to scold her from going too much even with her injuries.

Godou did not suffer anything so he is fine, and Irina, well, she tags along with me now since we are just neighbors. After she has known the identity of her mother who is a magician healer, she was able to avoid the mind wipe. Now, she is planning to learn magic too but her mother said that she is still too naive to learn one so she was required to undergo training for someone.

Now that I mention training, Voltaire also did mention that I will be undergoing some sort of training. Although he is vague about what sort of training it was, I decided to accept it without even knowing anything about the training.

"Hey, Kazuma, stop daydreaming already, your teacher will scold you if you keep on making that goofing face. Also, you can stop monologuing by yourself. If someone heard you babbling that crap, they would think that you are crazy or something."

"Can't you just keep it quiet Blue? If not for the fact that you can speak with me on my mind, I would be crazy about how to shut you up around other people."

"I don't talk while there are other people, can't you see that I am abiding the rules of the magicians to not reveal the existence of them? Even though many people have seen them before, it's not really counted since most of them have forgotten everything especially your heroic deeds that almost cost you your life."

"Heroic deeds? That is just for my own sake and not for them. Everything that happened that time is not really meant for them so don't assume that I did it for them."

Yep, we are back to normal lives and my life is back to its normal cycle. About my rumors, by the way, those things are one of the memories that got removed. Apparently, Godou asked the magician who did the mind wipe around the area to remove the memory about the rumors about me so that there is no more conflict of whatever concerning to me. Due to that, everything is now peaceful without the eyes of the whole school on me. Well, the campus queen seems to be wary of me but she seems to have forgotten what makes her wary of me. Maybe the time that I confronted her caused her to get in high alert from me.

DING DONG, DING DONG

As soon as lunchtime arrives, I carry my lunch and headed to the rooftop. Ever since the events of the demon invasion, Godou, Moonlight, and also Irina are now hanging out here since we can see a vantage point to look on the school ground to the gate. Although Irina is not yet an official magician, she would be one soon once she gets to train. Godou is helping her with magic while Moonlight just goes to the rooftop to eat lunch and sleep afterward.

When I arrive on the rooftop, I saw the usual trio with an addition of a cat...which is standing with its hind legs... wait...

I rub my eyes to make sure I am not mistaken. And the cat is still standing with its hind legs. Of course, the cat is not being held by its front paws. It is standing on its own and the three are currently facing on the cat who is opening its mouth like it is talking.

Proceeding to enter the rooftop, I saw the cat looked at me and grinned.

"Looks like the slowpoke is here. Come here and listen. I already excused you all to leave for a month at school," the cat started talking.

"What?" I looked at the cat in confusion.

"Didn't you got recommended by Voltaire to undergo a training right? Then you will come with us too."

"Wait, wait. Hold on. You are a cat that can talk. I know I have seen much more weird things before but what is this all about?" I looked at the others who scratched their heads in unison.

"I forgot to introduce myself. I am the moderator of the chat group and I am the holder of the Phantasmal Reality Dimension. I will be in charge of your training starting today. My name is Catmod in the chat but you can call me Nekoyama-sama."

Catmod is a cat? So his username is not just for style but because it is exactly telling what kind of creature is behind that username! Looks like I still have a small idea on how wide and mysterious the world of the magicians is.
