Chapter 4 - Recruitment

The next morning the group found that they did not need to go anywhere to recruit new members, as they were eating breakfast they heard a loud knock on the door as Lewis opened the door a young girl, looking to be about 18 years of age ran in, the girl had long white hair and bright green eyes

"Hi I'm Liz, I brought a holo-message for someone named Hajime"

Hajime raised his hand with a sigh "over here"

"ohh what is it?" Lewis had his eyes focused on the holo-cube

"Maybe it's from your parents," Kajikari said sounding more excited than usual

"Ooo could be a secret admirer," Klaus and Hannah both said at the exact same time

Hajime turned on the holo-cube and saw the image of Queen Alisha displayed

"Hajime, as you know Liz is now becoming of age however her magic is incredibly weak in terms of combat strength, I understand that is an unfair comparison given how powerful your innate magic has always been but regardless we have sent her to the academy to train and learn, we ask that you please look after her and remember we love you, now I must go, your father seems to be in a bit of a pickle" as she said this the fathers screams could be heard and his mother giggled softly. Everyone turned their head to Liz and then Hajime.

"Oh right and they also asked me to give you this" Liz slapped Hajime on the arm and a magic circle formed, he knelt down screaming before large black bird wings popped out of his back and he slowly stood up

"Okay, what the hell?"

"Apparently it's the wings of the next in line for the throne, The king or queen, by blood right is given it at some point in their life" Liz explained "and I would very much like to join your team, I know I'm pretty weak but I specialize in some rather powerful support-type magic so that should make up for what I lack in combat power"

Kajikari grabbed Hajime's arms and looked up into his eyes with a stern glance "If you tell her no, I'm not fixing your arm for you again" she said flatly

"New model remember? I don't need you to fix my arm and secondly, you're the team leader, not me"

"She's your little sister dumb ass," Kajikari said as she looked at the girl, Hajime sighed and turned to Liz

"You're free to join the team Liz"

Liz jumped to Kajikari "so are you my big brother's girlfriend?" she asked

Kajikari looked at the girl and then to Hajime, begging for help with her eyes

"Kajikari and I are dating but she's not my girlfriend Liz"

"Liz, can we see your familiar?"

"Okay!" she said excitedly

Carmilla looked at Liz and smiled "I'll be the appraiser then"

Liz looked at Carmilla and tilted her head "Hmm? I don't think I noticed you before"

"I was invisible"

"HUUUHH?!? you must be a really powerful mage to use light magic"

Carmilla smirked and wrapped her arms around Hajime while poking him incessantly

"I'm actually this dork's familiar," she said in a teasing way as she ruffled his hair

"OHHH? I've never met a familiar like you before"

"I'm a rank 1 immortal type, nice to meet you, I'm Carmilla"

"Carmilla? like the mother of magic?"

"The one and only" Carmilla giggled

"OHHHH, you really are strong Hajime"

After a while of talking and catching up Hajime's sister unleashed her familiar,

a Large golem made of stone popped out, standing at about 4 meters tall, it barely fit in the dorm

"I shrunk him down so he'd fit"

"Rank 6, nature type familiar, Gaintis, the Rock Giant king"

"That thing is massive," Lewis said as he looked up, Klaus hid behind Lewis and sneakily poked his abs "hot" he mumbled which made Lewis a bit unnerved, Hannah Simply stared with her mouth agape, Kajikari raised an eyebrow "how is that a rank 6?" she asked

Hajime looked at the rock giant and thought for a second "It's the king of rock giants but its rank is decided by its default power, my sister is probably able to bring out and amplify that power by a lot, so although it is a rank 6 naturally, she can make it stronger than rank 6 by increasing its size using her own mana"

Carmilla looked at Hajime and smiled widely "That was one hundred and ten percent accurate"

The group then moved and went to the cafeteria, Liz, being the only one that wasn't an elite student had to go sit with the other normal students, while eating a group of boys came up to her and grabbed her right in the middle of the cafeteria

"HEY STOP! I'M PRINCESS ELIZABETH YOU ASSHOLES!"

"You? a princess, you only have a rank 6 familiar, don't make me laugh"

"Jame's her familiar can grow in size and power, as strong as a rank 3 as far as I've seen" one of the boys explained

"ohh, thanks for telling me" he put a seal on her so she couldn't summon her familiar

"Jack ass" she spat in his face.

"ohh the wannabe princess has attitude" the boy smirked as he grabbed her breast and fondled them, slapping her

THUMP

a loud noise boomed throughout the cafeteria and Hajime spread his wings, he flew into the boy and kicked him so hard he was sent flying backward

"who the hell do you think you are?" the boy asked as he wiped the blood from his mouth

"Prince Hajime Night, her older brother"

"you made a big mistake, you wanna be prince" he said as he had his friends place a seal on Hajime

"Hey idiots, my familiar is already out" Just as he said this Carmilla pinned the two other boys to the roof with magic chains

"What the hell?" James asked now scared shitless

"rank 1, an immortal type familiar, Carmilla, the mother of magic," Hajime said

"Who were you calling a wannabe prince?" he asked as he dusted his wings off

"why don't you send that familiar back and then test me," James asked, knowing full well he could not beat Hajime when his rank 1 familiar was out amplifying his power, however, he thought he could beat him if it was just magic power against magic power

Hajime obliged and made Carmila sever the power transfer between them then turned to face the boy, the later grabbed the gun in his holster, held it up to Hajime and channeled his magic into it, in less than a second Hajime was engulfed in a plume of thick black Smoak.
