Chapter 1.2 - School + Distress

Lín Jìng reaches out to Rikishi with her mind. Sigh, it would be hard for me to undo the curse, it's witchery, and that means it would be very straining for me to deal with it. But I can extend my psychic powers to you. Mind, unlike speech, if someone wants to keep you out, you'll be kept out. Can't shout at someone who doesn't want to listen with it

She quickly gestures a mudra of mind-unity at him.Surely she won't be willing to keep her power committed for such a petty revenge of a curse for a hundred years. I bet she'll release the committed essence by nearest sundown. But in the mean time, maybe you could practice being charming even silently.

Seems like Mio will be trying to leave us soon. Oh well.

And then another idea 'clicks' in her head. She raises a hand, about to shout to Mio, but then realised how awkward that would be, so instead she reached out with her mind in Mio's direction.

Knock-knock. Pst, do you want to become able of weaving real magic, Mio? It's very much unlike Harry Potter in real life. If you're interested, seek out the blazer-and-tie-wearing student farther away from the crowd.

No need to tell her that unless she studies hard, she'd only be able to weave it as long as I'm sharing my power with her.

"Katsuya-chan! It's great to see you!" Sumeryu cheerfully blurts, flashing a brilliant smile.

Hibana and Katsuya are in the same room. Keep it together, Sumeryu! You can do it. Ganbare! Focus on the mystery of the girl who is definitely human! Regarding revealing monster identities, Sumeryu never it even brought it up. Why should a dragon hide her majesty? And it is the will of Heaven and the right way of the Dharma that she should be forthright in her nature! Yeah! Sumeryu is righteous and cool and gorgeous and strong, not thinking about playing board games and taking baths and cuddling and watching movies with the princesses all around her. Definitely not that!

"Where are you trying to go, Suzuki-san?"

Hanami can't help but cackle. No witch worth her wand could resist the satisfaction of a curse well woven. "Hahaha! Much better. You're so much more tolerable when you're silent." Hanami spins her wand and holsters it on her thigh with a flourish.

She was only half-listening to Mio's plights, so once she's done with cursing Rikishi, she's a little behind in the conversation. "Hm? You want to go somewhere, Maya? Was that your name? Wait, when did Momochichi get here!?"

Or I guess you could practice being the strong silent type for a while, Riki-chan.

"Hanami... are you actually the forgetful type?"
