Jin Skyward's Soliloquy

...

"Huh, I was expecting something completely different, but this is..." I said as soon as we arrived at the place.

I expected to be teleported somewhere in California, but not underground. However, the space we were in was covered with many powerful barriers and spells that prevent any kind of unauthorized teleportation. Lavinia is the one who teleported me, so she must have authorization to come here.

The area around us was quite large. Above us there were lights powered by magic, and the place had a medieval look, yet was futuristic in its design. It's like the medieval ages met pure white aesthetics. That's the kind of place this was. To our right was some kind of shop/reception. However, once they saw us—Lavinia and Lisa they didn't seem to care much about 'checking' us in.

In front of us was a large fountain, and then a bunch of other rooms. Some had windows while the rest did not. I could see many magicians in them. I'm pretty sure once I graduate Mil-tan and Aika Kiryuu will join the Grauzauberer to learn magic, and their mentor will be Nia who was beside me.

"Oh my god, it's Miss Lisa and Miss Lavinia!!" A magician screamed drawing attention to us.

However, I was also seen by another person, and—

"They also brought the Middleman!"

After that, we were immediately surrounded, but to my surprise, these two let out their auras, and the crowd of magicians stopped coming closer to us.

"Let's go, Aer—Jin, I called the chairman before we came here and he's expecting us. But I didn't explain why we're here," Nia said beside me.

"I see, thanks."

She just snuggled into me in response, and we started to walk forward. With the aura these two were producing no one could get close to us. I used [Observe] to check for any potential powerful magicians that I could recommend to my juniors and friends for the pact. But for the time being...

'Hmm?'

One of them caught my attention... the only one so far that I've seen with significant potential was Akane Himura, Roygun's [Bishop] who was formerly a human turned reincarnated devil. She's also a mutation piece which increases her value.

She has mid-back length silver hair that has black ribbons tied behind it. She also possesses light purple eyes. She is dressed in a witch-like robe and grey knee-high socks that reach near her skirt area.

When using [Observe] on her—her name was Fusae Hirawa. But strangely enough she looked like a certain person I knew from a novel... she was even reading a book and was all by herself. Finally, getting annoyed by the noise, she looked up and our eyes met. Her eyes briefly widened, but in the end, they moved back to the book she was reading.

'She looks like Hiyori Shiina... but damn, her potential is High-tier God-class. If I can mak—'

"Jin? Why are you staring at Fusae-chan?" Nia asked me.

I came back to my senses and noticed I had stopped walking. "Oh, it's nothing... you know that devils need a pact with magicians, right? I might ask her to be one of the girls' pact magician... Fusae, huh?"

"We came here to form an alliance with Grauzauberer and the chairman, Jin, not for you to get more women~" Lisa teased.

"...What part of—you know what, never mind. Let's just go," I sighed and started walking again. But I would keep an eye out for that girl. She had higher potential than Nia before I changed it...
