Madou: Vivid World

Name: Masayume Yakuse Mingyu Yang, a fierce young man who loves to mess around. He must've taken that from his mother, thought Yakuse. But that isn't the only reason. Both of his parents died with he was young so that rebellious part of him is understandable. After both of his parents' death, Mingyu is taken care by his uncle, Yakuse and they've been living together since then. "I had no idea" Yakuse reply nonchalantly. It was then the big announcement is made. Powerful Espers, Yakuse couldn't help but to wonder the sudden outburst of Espers happening lately, he even met one of them earlier in matter of fact. He really don't want to go, but the word "Foreigners are obliged to go" caught his attention. It seems he can't just miss this one. I'm sorry... after making one-sided apology inside his head Yakuse heads to mentioned place. "That girl loves these stuff right, your guesses she's somewhere there"

I honestly want to explain, but I don't even know myself.

Name: Masayume Yakuse Location: The floating City of Tian Jin In the end, he couldn't figure what her power might've. Doesn't matter actually. He got the money and he did what he have to do. His spell stop shortly after, releasing her from his binding. "Not much of an exchange though, but take that" The paper he threw earlier eventually fell onto the ground, revealing what it is. A school pamphlet. It was the thing he made earlier back at school. It was meant to be distributed later after new year, but giving it out earlier won't be a problem. Furthermore, Chengdu Moshu Yanjiu Academy possess much more secrets and talent like her is essential in the future. "Masayume Yakuse, Japanese. My address and numbers are on there, contact me if you will" He bid farewell, and leave while blending in with the crowd nearby. He have no use for the money and he would give it out to a charity or something he find along the way. Masayume Yakuse's job ends here for now, it will be sometime in the future where he will be needed. But now, he have another little girl to take care of.

Name: Masayume Yakuse Location: The floating City of Tian Jin. Yakuse had expected worse to be honest. It seems the girl is keeping her words for not using the power of hers at least. Esper... huh indeed that the number of them is increasing lately but he didn't expect to meet one in such situation. Abandoned Esper, no, little girl actually. It's true that the time of age they're in is like a fantasy of its own, but living as oddities in this world is not so forgiving. She must've seen lots of ugly expression of others; anger, fear, agony, disgust, and much more. But once she lose her sense of trust, she will eventually crumble. "You will be surprised knowing what waits you there" Yakuse took out something from his pocket and threw it onto the air. A piece of paper float aimlessly above. In mist of that, Yakuse active his Madou, "coating" the surrounding air with its energy. It makes everything under its area of effect to be heavier and lower people's perception of time, all beside Yakuse who control it. Why would he do it this far? He doesn't really care about the guy who got his money taken, since it was his own fault to begin with. Maybe he just want to stop this girl from going to the wrong path, or because it's his duty as educator, or because she resemblance her, he wasn't sure. For now, his goal is just to take the money she stole. Hnph, Yakuse swiftly steps forward and reach out his hand to where the girl put the money, attempting to take it.

Name: ??? Location: A certain apartment. He's late. He's late, he's late! It was a children’s impeachment yelling. There's no one in the room to listen to it, and it simply dissolve into the air. A little girl, appears to be around the age of either elementary or middle school, is all alone in the dimly light room. Unable to stand the solitary, the girl stand up attempting to leave through the exit. *clig* The door won't open, it's locked. Masayume Yakuse had expected this and locked the door from outside. There are no keys inside, so basically the little girl is locked inside. There are some food and snacks inside the refrigerator but she's tired of them. It's almost seven p.m, time for girls’ famous anime 『Revive! Mystical Priest Girl Rasupu-chan』 to air. Yakuse had promised to go back before then, but from the looks of it he would be late.

Madou: Vivid World

Correct.

Madou: Vivid World

Indeed, it was shortly after the incident of Magical Calamity some people were born as an Esper. As an insight, there can also be some very rare cases of people "awaken" as an Esper, like being caught in a magical explosion or something.

Madou: Vivid World

As for the reason it's because the nature of Esper in this setting. Esper in here refer to "people who were born with great affinity and aptitude to [Pure Energy] and possess it inside their body" thus allows them to bend those energy into the shape they're good with. Meanwhile, Mages execute magic through their Madou that utilize [Pure Energy] in the air. Esper cannot use Madou to cast magic because their body also release their own kind [Pure Energy] that might interfere the mechanism within Madou.

As a teacher he had met numerous teenagers like her. If youngsters don't hold on to baseless confidence, what else do they have? said one of his colleagues once. But this doesn't seem to be the case. Furthermore, something about her draws him in. She's somewhat like her, he convinced. "I'm a teacher, you see, personally I would like to avoid doing this" He replied. But his words clearly won't do any effect. Even in front of adult, this girl still act so proudly and do not doubt her action at all. Is this because she's young or it just the way she go all this time? No, that doesn't matter now. All matter now is... "Chengdu Moshu Yanjiu Academy, I recommend you to go there if you're interested" Chengdu Moshu Yanjiu Academy, the Chinese branch of Elias institute of magic in this floating city. Several years after Ms. Elias Queen's groundbreaking discovery, a school was build. It teaches its students the art of Madou and its usage. Among some group of people, these student are known as "Mage-in-training". Elias institute of magic is the only place where you can properly study Madou starting young age. "There is a place for people like you there" Still, this won't be enough to convince her, he thought. He had teach this girl some lesson, in various ways. Yakuse raised his empty left hand upward. Masayume Yakuse's Madou is custom-made with the shape of the bracelet he often wear. If mage in fantasy use magic wand, mage in this world use Madou. *----* The sound of wind. Yakuse's left hand reaches out for the girl's hand in tremendous speed. It appears that he attempt to seal her movement by grabbing her hand, but that is not his aim. Simultaneously, Yakuse's leg move to sweep the girl's leg, attempting to get her down on the floor.

People heads to the big show, I guess I'll head to smaller things instead.

Madou: Vivid World

Name: Masayume Yakuse Location: The floating City of Tian Jin. His hunch was unfortunately correct. It seems he really can't get anything straight even when he wanted to. A group of five guys and a girl. This is not good, he thought, so he followed them secretly. Things doesn't really follow up the script of b-rated movies though. It wasn't a group of hooligan surrounding a poor girl, he was wrong, it was just thugs playing with each other. Even so as a respectable (self-proclaim) adult and an educator, it's his duty to not overlook the unjust. "I'm sorry lady, but I suppose those bits of fortune have place where it properly belongs" He said, stretching his right hand to reach out the girl's shoulder. I won't lose to mere brat, hope that wasn't so naive of him.
