[Negi should really watch where he's going, especially when getting on a train]

... this... isn't the train to my school.

[tugging at the door, he scowls]

Great. The doors won't open either. Anyone out there?

*and as if someone heard him... or at least saw him*

Um... I already tried... I don't think it's gonna open...

[mahoushounen]

[Negi grumbles a muffled curse before kicking the door]

Great. Does this train at least circle around? I'm going to miss the first class.

[lyrical_sammy]

...I don't know. I've heard something about it just keeps going, but... *she shrugs and sighs* I don't know...

Grandpa and everyone's gonna be worried about me, though...

[mahoushounen]

Don't I know it. Asuna's going to mangle me, Konoka's going to fret, Anya and Sister will be frustrated I missed class...

[Negi rubbed his head and sighed before holding out his hand] Negi Springfield. Nice to meet you miss...?

[lyrical_sammy]

*she reaches out and takes it, shaking it* Sasami! Sasami Kawai! It's nice to meet you, Negi!

[mahoushounen]

Nice to meet you Sasami.

Proximity. Device Detected, 1 meter, 4 inches.

[Negi blinked rapidly before looking at Sasami] You have a device?

[lyrical_sammy]

Wha...?! I, er...

*Sasami looks down, blushing* Y-yeah... I do...

[mahoushounen]

Really? That's cool! I always liked devices.

[Negi holds up his wrist where a gem sat on a bracelet] This is mine, my father built it and passed it to me. Say hello Crimson Wing.

The Greeting will be 'yo'.

[lyrical_sammy]

Oh, wow...! *she pulls out a small red pendent hidden away under her shirt, the string hanging around her neck* This is Raising Heart!

[Greetings.]

...I... well... had mine given to me.

[mahoushounen]

Yeah, my father gave his to mine when I was 4.

[Negi's expression turned down a little] I never saw him after that. People still say he's dead.

[lyrical_sammy]

*Sasami's expression follows suit* I-I'm sorry I brought up those memories, Negi...!

...need to change the subject... u-um...

[mahoushounen]

[Negi shook his head] No, it's okay. If he didn't give me Crimson Wing, I would have never had such an adventure!

Though, it's still going. I haven't found all of the 31 yet.

[lyrical_sammy]

*Sasami blinks in confusion* 31? 31 of what?

[mahoushounen]

[Negi looked around and gestured to a seat] Sit down a little, this might take a moment to explain.

[Sitting down, Crimson Wing projected an image of 31 cards, over half of them shadowed out. Only a small handful had details to them] The 31, the most dangerous Earth-created magic in the history of humanity. They say that when all 31 are brought together, a single perfect wish is granted.

[lyrical_sammy]

*Sasami sits down and listens to what Negi has to say*

Wow... wait, Earth-magic?! W-Why do you have something like that?! I-I mean...! I...

*she sighs and shakes her head* I'm sorry, just... all that power...

[mahoushounen]

Earth-Magic is what I was born with. I'm one of the few naturally born mages on Earth. I don't know what happened, not many people talk about it. But they call it the effect of the 31 being brought together again.

[Negi held up his wrist] Crimson Wing, unload a random 31, materialize.

[A shimmering light appeared and a card resolved in Negi's fingers. It depicted a picture of a girl with short violet-black hair holding a book] This was the first of the 31 I found.
