Akame said nothing in response to Rose’s question and Elise’s enthusiasm. Her only answer was to cast a glance in the Contractor’s direction, motioning for all present to pay their attentions to him. After all, this whole idea was the Contractor’s. She was only a spokesperson, though she had her own unvoiced ideas as well.

[b]“That’s an interesting question with a relatively simple answer,”[/b] the creature said brightly. [b]“You see, the magic emitted by each of your Soul Gems is directly contrasted with the magic emitted by Primordials. Or at least, that’s what we’ve observed so far. Therefore, it stands to reason that we can locate their origin point through the use of your Soul Gems. Have any of you ever noticed how your Soul Gem becomes brighter the closer you are to a Primordial? It’s the same concept in finding the origin point.”[/b]

The Contractor swept its unblinking gaze on Emiri now with a small tilt of its head.

[b]“You’ve heard no information regarding this, Asuka Emiri, because we haven’t realized this truth until much recently. It’s only now you’re learning just the same as we are. I admit, we don’t know everything.”[/b]

As the others soon began to discuss and debate the ethics of the Contractor’s plan, Akame couldn’t help but stare at her white-furred companion. The others may not have caught on, but the Contractor always seemed to refer to itself as multiple entities. Words like “we” always made her assume it was speaking of the partnership it shared with her personally, though now she wasn’t too sure.

She couldn’t muse on these thoughts for long though as Emiri picked her voice up and acknowledged her directly. Sighing, the flaming Magical Girl looked at Emiri with a calm, almost steely expression.

[color=f26522]“You’re right Emiri. As much as I can see the benefit of using the origin point as a potential training spot, the danger is too great. We’ve lost enough casualties to the Primordials due to stupid decisions, and making one more will only cause more death. As enigmatic as it sounds, I think our best options lie in the Contractor’s plan. At least for now.”[/color]

As she said this, she couldn’t help but notice how much the Contractor was staring at both Rose and Elise. It was almost a look of interest, though of what, she couldn’t begin to fathom. Miyako’s words finally made the creature turn its head to stare at her now.

After the girl had introduced herself with as much bravado as she could muster, the Contractor closed its eyes before ceding with, [b]“I cannot deny, Miyako Komatsu, that you are an exceptional Magical Girl. Your wish was quite interesting to grant as well.”[/b]

It said all this with a tilt of its head.

[color=f26522]“So we’re all in agreement that until further notice, the origin point is to be destroyed,”[/color] Akame put in. [color=f26522]“With that settled then, our next order of business is something a bit more light-hearted. Seeing as both Elise and Miyako are fresh Magical Girls, the three of us Senior Magical Girls are offering to train them for the coming battle at the origin point.”[/color]

Akame stopped right there, waiting for the eventual insults and comments to be thrown her. Honestly, it was as if human pride also increased when becoming a Magical Girl.

[color=f26522]“Of course, you can choose to deny this training. However, in order to do that, you must first prove to us that you won’t get yourself or your allies killed in the heat of battle. Thus, you may only graduate from your training when you can beat [i]me[/i].”[/color]

A smirk crossed Akame’s face along with the light of a challenge in her eye. The Contractor watched this transpire with a scratch to the ear and a cool expression. Things were starting to become interesting.  

Not too far away from the magically sealed classroom, another confrontation of sorts was about to begin. The [url=http://safebooru.org//samples/1217/sample_0657d3ebce9bdafeefb21614c3f3ca5c.jpeg?1268221]girl[/url] that Nanako had spoken to turned around, a surprised expression on her face. Then a soft smile graced her lips as she bent down to the younger girl’s height.

[color=bc8dbf]“Well hello there. What’s a young girl like you doing at a big school like this?”[/color]

Then the girl’s eyes widened and her smile became warmer.

[color=bc8dbf]“Ah, I see. Are you a Magical Girl? I can tell just by sensing you. Don’t worry, I’m one too you know. Are you looking for someone?”[/color]

The dark dressed girl stood up tall now, offering her hand to the other girl gently.

[color=bc8dbf]"By the way, my name is Chiyo Kuroki. It’s very nice to meet you!”[/color]
