Chapter 2 - "An old man... huh"

As Ezumi arrived at the City he noticed that there was a crowd at one part of the city that's more crowded than the whole city. When he went in to check what they were crowding in the place, there was eight to ten guards and three magic users Ezumi thought 'their magic's presence is quite strong... But not really like Daichi's. Hmm if I could get in an academy then I would be able to find them quicker, plus the boy in the memory the soul showed me had such a high magic presence if I'm lucky enough maybe I could murder him secretly and if someone sees me killing him, I'll just hide until I finish the mission and take my own life as well' he thought and then added 'But if he's not there then it's really going to be a bother.' as Ezumi was about to walk away someone immediately held his hand and by reflex he quickly pulled his Arm and teleported at the back of the teenager who had held his hand a moment ago, Ezumi put his hand on the back of the teenager in a knife like position and said "what do you want?" After he said that the people around them begin to notice them.

After a while the boy said " I was just trying to stop you from leaving! I swear!.." after a while he then added "uhm did that startle you? I'm sorry.."

Seeing that the boy was honestly saying the truth and was one of the magic users, he immediately moved his hand and said "o-oh.. sorry, uh.. it did startle me quite a bit." And looked down at the side.

Noticing that he was embarrassed he then said "ah actually, since I noticed your magic's presence was really strong, I wanted to know if you'd like to enter the academy's try out exams. But the time I wanted to talk to you, you were already leaving so.. I couldn't help but to grab you're hand" he said with an embarrassed smile his hand at the back of his head and continued "uhm, my name's Hikaru.." knowing that he said that for Ezumi to say his, he said "my name is... Kagome".

After Hikaru heard his name he thought 'Kagome..' And said "well Kagome do you want to enter the try-outs?" He said with a smile.

Ezumi thought 'well now that I'm noticed by one of them, I guess I'll try to see if he's there. Plus I can just stop entering classes once five days are up, and try to look around for them while using souls to find them...' he then looked at the boy and said "what will I do once I get there?" He asked hoping to know a few small things. Hikaru then replied "well once you enter the academy, there are some tasks people sometimes give us so of course there's a whole lot more to do" he said. Ezumi then thought 'tasks huh.. well let's give it a try' he then said "okay then, I'll take the exam and enter the academy" he said while he smiled.

After a while of walking, they then arrived at a large tent where another magic user was. The magic user then looked at him, his eyes widened quite a bit and seeing this person that walked in he smiled and said "please sit" and waved his hand at Hikaru to leave and Hikaru left.

When Hikaru left Ezumi noticed the figure once more at the back of the man, the figure then pointed at him and as expected when Ezumi looked at the old man he was quite exhausted.

Ezumi thought 'what do you mean? This isn't the person I'm looking for, you know' after he thought this the figure then looked at him and thought 'they are connected... to.. Man' he said telepathicly. Once the figure said that it vanished again, when Ezumi looked at the old man he had bandages on his right arm. He thought 'wait.. connected to man?.. then is this old man the father of the man in that memory?? He.. seems exhausted... Hmm if this old man doesn't like that whole family then I can kill them right?' before he finished thinking the old man said "alright young lad, can I get your name, age, element and specialty?" Ezumi then replied "my name is Kagome, age is 18, element is wind and specialty is tornadoes and regeneration" he said while he made a small tornado on his hand.

The old man then asked "is there anything I need to know before you enter the academy?" Ezumi thought 'nothing for now' and said what he thought "nothing for now" the old man then said "well if that's all then, may I hold your hand. I will just check if the magic in you is strong or the average" Ezumi then held out his right hand and as expected the man was shocked "oh my... Young Man do you have a relative of such to give you such magic??" Ezumi said "well I don't quite know the details of it since they already died, but I believe I'm from a bloodline" he said smiling bitterly, then added "so, sir am I qualified to enter the academy now?" The old magic user quickly replied "ah, yes you are. Here is a crystal necklace and a magic bag.. if you need anything just imagine it and the bag will automatically generate it." He said quietly and gestured for him to keep it a secret from those who aren't in the academy and again gestured for him to leave.

After he left he was quite happy, to think that going to this academy's entrance exam could get him a magic bag that gives him anything he needs.

He then thought of getting a room in an inn and changing the clothes he was wearing now.

He then went finding an inn and as expected when he thought about enough gold in reserving a room with a bathtub, the magic bag gave him the exact amount he thought about and gave it to the inn keeper.

Ezumi then went up to his room and took a bath. As he was in the warm water in bathtub he thought 'i was lucky enough to be near a City, or else I would have no sleep for who knows how many nights again' he then thought again 'that old man... So he's the father of the man in the memory the figure showed me. If I kill all of them... And still get to live.. wouldn't that be nice. But as always, there is no nice thing if the reason you were summoned was for revenge." When he was done taking a bath he reached in the bag to get a pair of clothes that were newly generated, put them on and sat on the bed.
