It's the next day and Fran wakes up around 8:00 AM. He gets ready so he can go and see if he will get accepted as a student by the person that teaches people how to use magic.
Fran: Come to think about it, I don't know where the person that teaches magic lives. I guess I should ask the receptionist for directions so I don't waste time wandering around looking for it.
Fran greets her with a smile when he sees her.
Fran: "Good morning."
Receptionist: "Good morning."
Fran: "So you said that there's someone that teaches people how to use magic right? Could you give me directions of where they live so I can go over there and ask if they'll teach me."
Receptionist: "I can tell you but I suggest you don't get your hopes up like I told you last night that old man isn't friendly and I've heard he hasn't accepted anybody that's asked him to teach them."
The receptionist turns her head and crossed her arms when describing the magic teacher.
Fran: "Is that so, do you know why and how to get on his good side."
Receptionist: " I haven't seen him talk to anyone in the village. He just stays at home at the edge of the town so I don't know if he even has a good side. Him teaching magic is something I'm not sure about either since I've heard he hasn't accepted teaching anyone so he might have high standards to teach anyone."
Fran: "Well that sure doesn't sound promising on getting him to teach me but hopefully he does or I'll be in trouble without knowing how to use magic. Well I'll never know until I try so what are the directions to where he lives."
Receptionist: "When you go outside go to your left and keep going straight until the road ends and then you'll see a house by itself that's where he lives."
Fran: " Ok thanks for the directions. I'll see you later then goodbye."
Receptionist: "Goodbye and good luck."
Fran goes in the direction the receptionist tells him for about 20 minutes then he reaches the end of the road. The house is two stories with its own farm and crops. Fran walks towards the house and knocks on the door.
Fran: "Is anyone home."
The door opens and the old man that appears to be in his 50's comes out.
Old man: "What do you want? I'm busy."
Fran: "I heard that you teach people how to use magic and was wondering if you would teach me."
Old man: "I guess it's that time of year isn't it. So I'm guessing you're one of the new participants in the God & Devil war. Come inside I'll decide if I'll teach you after you answer some questions for me."
Fran: "Ok."
Fran goes inside and follows the old man into his living room.
Old man: "Feel free to sit wherever you want."
Fran sits on the couch on the opposite side of the old man that is sitting in front of him on a chair.
Fran: "So what are these questions you want to ask me?"
Old man: "I only have 2 questions I want to ask you, the first one Is which side you decided to join and why."
Fran: "I chose the God's side and for the reason it was because I didn't want to be with the people on the Devil's side."
Old man: "Why is it that you didn't want to be with the people on the Devil's side?"
Fran: "They are usually more trouble than they are worth to work with so I chose God's side thinking it would be the better option."
Old man: "Ok, my final question is why you want to learn magic."
Fran: "Why do I want to learn magic? I could say it's so I could defeat the Devil but that wouldn't be true. The reason I want to learn magic is so I can have the power to do and achieve what I want. Stuff like killing people and just in all to do what I want to please myself. In order to do that I need strength because without it I won't last long in this war. I would prefer not to die so soon after coming to this world after all this world is entirely new to me. Don't you think a completely new world is fascinating? I didn't join this war for a wish I joined because I thought this world was more intriguing than my old one. My old world was quite the boring one with so many laws that made it hard for me to kill people or do what I want to have fun. I understand the reason for those laws but they were a pain to go around . I want to see what this world has to offer. Of course I don't plan on just observing but also causing chaos or whatever I decide I want to do in this world. I want to partake in what this world has to offer. The first thing I need to accomplish here is to learn magic so I can survive in this world until I get what I desire for my amusement. So how about it? Would you teach a selfish person like myself so they can use magic for their own desires.
Old man: "So you want to learn magic for your own desires to be in this world and cause chaos and observe?"
Fran: "That is some of what I plan to do if you teach me magic. Do you see that as bad and unforgiving for someone to want?"
Old man: "Of course that's bad what type of sane person wouldn't see it as a danger sign when you say that you want to kill people for your own amusement. Do you really think I would teach magic to someone that wants to do that?"
Fran: " Of course I do, why else would I be so honest. Or did you want me to give you a sad story about my wish being for someone else and I need to win this war to save them. I was told that you hadn't accepted anyone to teach magic and I thought about why you would deny everyone. That's when I realized only people from God's side must come for training and you perhaps didn't like them so you decided to not teach them. So I went with a darker approach."
Old man: "Well you're not wrong I don't have time to teach such boring people with such a boring wish. At my age I have nothing else to do with my life since I have no wife or kids. I just wanted someone to come that would give my life some excitement like in my past but they all turned out to be boring. Well I guess that's to be expected from God's side isn't it. They don't like showing their true colors and hide behind a mask. You seem to have promise if you're going to be upfront with your desires so I'll teach you magic just don't disappoint me.
Fran: "Don't worry about that, I have some thoughts on what I plan to do. I just need a better understanding of this world before I have anything concrete but I'm sure what I do will please you."
Old man: "Hmm is that so well I'll look forward to it."
Fran: "Also how much would I have to pay you for the lessons we never discussed that."
Old man: "Don't worry about money but I do want you to do something for me it should be nothing for you."
Fran: "And that would be?"
The old man grins at Fran as he tells him.
Old man: "Ah it's nothing that big for you I just want you to kill someone for me to see your not just someone that's all talk. That shouldn't be hard for someone like you right?"
Fran: "Is that all, consider it done but do I get to choose who."
Old man: "Sure I'll let you choose who you want to kill. As for when you kill them it can be whenever you want as long as it's before you leave this town and be sure to show me the evidence."
Fran: "Ok it's a deal then. So when do we start training."
Old man: "Tomorrow so be ready by 9:00 AM. That's all for today so you can go now."
Fran: "By the way what's your name you never told me it."
Old man: "My name is Bon Cruz, what about you."
Fran: "My name is Fran Aikawa."
Bon: "See you tomorrow Fran."
Fran: "Goodbye."
