Editing Mahou Sensou:Volume 1 Chapter 4 (section)

===Part 6===
When Takeshi fainted, Mui contacted the Wizard Breath mages who arrived on the scene to clean up, open the portal in the mirror and take the four of them to the academy. Takeshi never heard from Ida again after the roof collapsed, but in Ida's own words, when the explosion happened, he was unharmed because the flames from his hand spread out and destroyed the pieces of concrete that were going to fall on him.

It was quite an eye-catching thing to do, wasn't it?

Entering the director's office, Principal Shijou said, "I'm sorry.

"I-I'm so sorry!" Mui said hurriedly while ducking her head.

Takeshi and Kurumi stood while Ida looked around curiously.

"The scandal at Sakuraya Academy is over now and the repairs are also finished. So don't worry."

Takeshi was impressed by what the headmistress had just said and asked:

"Did they do it with magic?"

"That's right. However, I must say that it's been a long time since the last time there were three students transferred from the same academy."

The headmistress left her desk that was next to the window and approached the three stopping right in front of Ida.

"Ida Kazumi-kun..."

"Hey, are you really the headmistress? But you're just a little girl."

The headmistress simply ignored what Ida had just said.

"Unlike those two, it's more complicated keeping control of your magic. I know it's a hassle, but I'm offering you the option of taking that magic away. Make up your mind right now."

Suddenly, Takeshi asked before Ida:

"Will you use <Gift> on him?"

"That's right. I see you've already been told about it."

Takeshi had witnessed what the spell called <Gift> did to wizards when it took away their magic, and he didn't like the idea of Ida being subjected to it at all. The headmistress's words, however, implied that Ida's magic was very dangerous.

"I don't understand anything, but is it true that Nanase and Isoshima are wizards?"

"That's right, and now you are too."

Ida scratched his nose when heard that. He was able to do so because those terrible flames were no longer emanating from his hand. Mui had talked to Ida about wizards before going into the mirror with the others. Of course he was suspicious at first, but when he saw that there was a world beyond the mirror, his doubts turned completely into curiosity and he was impressed to see the facilities of the Magic Academy.

"So, if I say yes, will I go back to being an ordinary person, forget everything that happened and continue with my normal life?"

When Ida summed it all up in the worst possible way, the headmistress smiled wryly.

"Well, yes, more or less. Destructive Magic is a difficult systematic magic. Needless to say, it is a magic that hurts others and is not good for those who cannot make decisions quickly."

"I don't like hurting other people," Ida muttered.

Then she raised his face and looked directly at the headmistress.

"But I can't just walk away after getting involved. This is all my responsibility from the moment I decided to help them with their pursuers. So, whatever happens, I choose to be a wizard. Even if it's hard, I'll do my best."

"Well, in that case, you will live as a wizard user of destructive fire magic."

Ida nodded at the headmistress's confirmation and said:

"All right, after all, we humans, we are able to overcome anything if we start from the beginning."

"Nanase Takeshi-kun. The same goes for you."

The next one to talk to the headmistress was Takeshi.

"Me?"

"However, within that branch, very few have the 'Intuition' skill. I'm sure <the Trailers> will wait until you learn to control it and other communities will also be interested. If you succeed, it will be a very useful skill in combat."

It was clear that the only thing Takeshi aspired to was Kendo and he himself made it clear from the beginning.

"I have no intention of fighting in a way that has nothing to do with the sport."

Certainly he had already faced Oigami in a "non-sporting" way, but Takeshi firmly believed that it was only for reasons of force majeure. The headmistress nodded without question. After all, there was no reason for him to have to fight <the Trailers>. Then Takeshi turned to look at Mui who was standing by the door silently.  He knew that she was just fighting <the Trailers>, so that she could rescue her brother. However, she kept her eyes down, as she seemed to be uninterested in the headmistress's conversation with Takeshi and his friends.

"Okay, you three will stay in the academy dormitories from now on. Going back to the living world is dangerous so you won't be able to come here from your homes."

The headmistress went to her desk and took some books that said on their cover 'Subaru Magic Academy Admission Handbook' and handed one to each of them. But suddenly, Ida stood up and shouted:

"Wait a second!"

"What's wrong Ida-kun?"

Ida held out his palm to the perplexed look of the headmistress.

"I can't do this. I have to take care of Futaba."

"Futaba-san?"

"She's my little sister. My mother is a nurse and works nights most of the time. She can't take her to school."

"What about your father?" Kurumi asked.

Ida answered bluntly:

"My dad died six years ago."

The headmistress tilted her head doubtfully, but then nodded.

"I understand. Well, in that case, I'll do something special for you. From here, I'm going to place a magical barrier around your house. That will serve as protection and no wizard will be able to penetrate it. Not even <the Trailers>. However, the barrier will have no effect on ordinary humans.

"Thank you very much!" Ida exclaimed.

When the problem of Ida's house was solved, Takeshi thought about his own and asked:

"Did you tell our parents about the transfer?"

"Don't worry about that. We've already planned all that. Transferring here, it will be like transferring to any boarding school in the living World. Your family won't suspect anything... I think so."

Strangely, there was a pause at that last thing said by the headmistress, but Mui was the only one to notice.  Kurumi, for her part, let out a small sigh and spoke with full conviction:

"I don't care where I go, as long as I can be with Takeshi."

Takeshi looked at Kurumi who was waiting for his approval, and he couldn't help but have mixed feelings, as he knew that she was aware that it was much better for he to stay in the dormitories, than to be in his own house. Anyway, it didn't matter if he was present, for he was completely ignored. And yet, he kept trying to make conversation with Gekkou.

"I'm sure he can still forgive me," Takeshi thought.

However, it was about time to give up the fight, because the progress had been nil.

The headmistress waited for Takeshi's answer. Then, he finally raised his face, looked at her and said:

"I'll stay too."

"Perfect, then that's it. Now, regarding your classroom, you will be in the first year of high school. As you are still beginner wizards, you will start from the basic level. Therefore, you will be in the C class of the first year. All the wizards in that class are beginners like you."

"What about Mui?" Takeshi asked, curious about the class she was enrolled in.

At that moment the headmistress clasped her hands together with a clap and said:

"That's right! Aiba-kun... You told me you wanted a punishment right?"

"That's right, headmistress." Mui replied, approaching from the office door.

She had a worried expression because of the punishment she was about to receive. Anxiety was killing her.

"You'll be sent to class C, too."

"Huh?"

"You are an intermediate level wizard and were in a special group within the S class. However, as of tomorrow you will be in the C class with them."

"Wait, you can't do that, I..."

"The matter of Aiba Tsuganashi is beyond your capabilities. <Wizard's Breath> will take care of rescuing him. I've told you that before."

"..."

"I know that you are also a wizard who belongs to <Wizard's Breath>. However, you are also a student of this institution and as the headmistress, it is my duty to reprimand you for your reckless behavior."

The headmistress had stopped smiling. It was the first time Takeshi had seen the headmistress get serious and when she did, she looked like a real adult. 

On the other hand, Mui seemed to be annoyed and looking out of the corner of her eye towards nothing, she muttered:

"B-but... I wasn't to blame for the other two...."

"That doesn't matter. You asked me for a punishment and I'm giving it to you. For that reason, you will also have to take responsibility for the other two of them and accept the punishment as an act of comradeship."

"But I..."

Mui, raised her face and then the headmistress showed her a small smile and said to her:

"You harmed yourself. So let's not give the matter any more thought."

"..."

"Now go, Aiba-kun. show them where the dormitories are."

All Mui could do about it, as the headmistress returned to her desk by the window, was to accept it.

"Yes ma'am"

From that day on, Takeshi and company became students of the Subaru School of Magic.
