Wings & Mages (Version 2)

Chapter 14: Notice of Another Heist

(A/N: So sorry for the late update and for putting this story into another hiatus. I just have to deal with plenty of school requirements especially for this last month of being seniors in our school. I have work on plenty of stuff and even the Holy Week is heavily packed in schedule. Aside from working with school requirements, I also have to try hard to keep my reputation and my grades constant, which is killing me with everyone's expectations. I also created the plot for the story I'm going to write for the JustWriteIt Contest entitled "Blind Corner" and I'm counting on your support for it, too. ^^~ However, despite everything, I have no intentions of abandoning this story. Please bear with me. :3 )

Recap:

"We finally found a way to rescue travel through the other dimensions and enter the exact dimension where Juvia was transported."

"That's good." Erza smiled. "Does Gray know about this?"

"Very much..." Levy replied, "But there is something he doesn't know about it and we don't want him to know."

"What is it?"

"It has been decided that you must come along and accompany him secretly."

Without hesitation or complain, Erza, with her eyes shut, confidently replied, "Understood."

------------------------------------------------------

"Alright, everyone! Wear your aprons and keep moving on!" Mr. Kaseda, their cooking teacher yelled. His voice was so loud that it echoed inside the school kitchen even if there were plenty of students inside. Everyone started moving faster.

Mr. Kaseda is the type of teacher that every student in Azumano middle school fears and obeys. With his voice that loud, and his temper that short, everyone bows their heads down to him. Also, during outings, the school hires him to take care of all the students and keep them guarded. So basically, no one could play delinquent as long as he was there.

After everyone has settled down and gathered their materials and ingredients to their respective group tables, Mr. Kaseda brings out his utensils on his desk. He pulls his apron out of his desk and wore it, tying the threads together in his back. Lastly, he pulled out a handkerchief and tied in on his head in exchange of a hair net.

"Does everyone have their complete ingredients?" asked Mr. Kaseda.

"Yes, sir!" everyone responded in unison, politely.

"Then we'll start making beef stew," he announced.

Daisuke was lucky. Although he never stood out in cooking and even if he didn't know how to cook good food, he didn't have to worry about anything since the class' master chef is in their group. Saehara is well known in class for being carefree and lazy. He often makes the girls do his cleaning duties and let him copy homeworks by bribing them with the photos of the infamous phantom thief, which so happened to be the heartthrob of Azumano. He is also a reporter wannabe as written in his arm band. He takes scoops of almost everything and with the advantage of having a father who is the chief commander of the police, he can take candid photos of the phantom thief. That is a hobby that he still work on until now. But despite all of these, he is a good cook. He is worked out to it since his father is a worse bum to him and makes him do all the house work. Only if Takeshi Saehara's mom was home, he could obtain the justice he should have long time ago.

Another helpful member of Daisuke's group is Riku. She is an old friend of him and a very close one. They helped each other out in many things and difficult circumstances that made their bond grow stronger. In fact, due to their extreme closeness, Riku is fully aware of the fact that Daisuke and Dark coexists in one body. However, despite being so open to Daisuke, she avoids bringing that topic to him.
