You decide to visit the person in the apartment once more. You sneak out of Makoto's apartment and sneak in the other, whilst all others are unaware of your activities.

You stand by the door once more, certain you will be able to do better this time. You jump, and grab the handle with your paws.

Lock-picking: 68, Req 30 = Success

Unlike before, you are prepared for it being slippery and adjust your grip. You claw into the lock, and when you hear the click you turn and pull. The door opens.

You walk inside, heading to the presence you seek. You find her in a bedroom, and once more it is a teenage girl–closer to Chiba's age, however.

You jump onto the bed and claw at her face, just enough to wake her up.

"Wha–a cat? That's," she mumbles then yawns. You wait patiently as she sits up and looks at you for real.

"Greetings. I am Tevildo, Lord of Cats, and I have come to ask for aid."

"Aid?" She latches onto that one word in her confusion.

"Indeed. You see, terrible monsters have invaded your fair city. I have been gathering those with innate magical potential to teach them how to fight off these monsters."

"And I'm one of these people? No, I must be hallucinating."

You pause for a moment. "What is your name?"

"Nishimura Reika."

Convince her to join you: 53 + 50 (Bewitching Voice) = 103, Req 70 = success

"Nishimura, you are not dreaming. This is serious and real. I am asking you to join me, work under my command in defending this great city." You put power into your voice, sure she will shrug it off as a dream otherwise.

"I-yes. Something tells me you are right. I'll join you."

"Good. I will be seeing you." You jump away, leaving her to go back asleep.


You travel to Chiba's apartment in the morning. Scratching his door, you are let inside.

"Hello?" He asks warily.

"If we are going to be working together I think it would be a good idea for me to teach you magic. At six tonight meet me in the abandoned house."

"I already have powers, I don't need more. These are bad as they are."

Convince: 64, Req 20 = Success

"Indeed. But by teaching you my kind of magic, I believe you my find a solution to your problem. In any case, I do not plan on teaching strictly combat magic tonight."

He sighs. "I suppose I should. I'll go."

"Good. You will not regret it."


Later that day, you enter Mizuno's apartment. She opens the door as you scratch at it, and quickly follows you out the building.

"What were you doing? What if my mom caught you?" Her mother? As if she could do anything to you.

"That would be no problem. Now come; I want to teach you magic."

"Magic? What kind?" Her expression brightens in excitement.

"Illusions. I will tell you more when we get there."

The two of you travel to the abandoned house, Mizuno's worries about her mom abandoned at the thought of learning something new.

When you enter, you can see Chiba already there.

"Hello Ami," he greets her.

"Hi Mamoru," she responds. You direct the two of them to sit down.

"Why isn't Makoto here?" Chiba asks. "Not good enough?"

"Incorrect," you reply, "teaching more than two people at once would be suboptimal. Teaching magic must be hands on and cannot be too large of a class. In addition, I believe she prefers the more physical aspects of magic."

"I see."

"The magic I am going to teach the two of you today is Illusion. It allows one to project an image away from themselves, both visually and for the other senses.

Teaching Rolls:
Mamoru: 32, Req 40 = failure
Ami: 56 + 10 (quick study) = 66, Req 40 = Success.

"Gather your magic and push it out of your body. Imagine it in the shape of a chair, or another familiar inanimate object."

The two of them try as you said for a few hours, with you giving them intermittent advice. Finally, Mamoru gives up.

"It's not working." Mamoru frowns at the repeated failures, sticking his hand out palm forward but causing nothing to happen.

"I've got it!" Ami shouts, and true enough a wooden chair appears in front of her. You walk up to it and tap on it with a paw, the force from your touch causing it to fade away.

"Passable enough," you praise her. You look at Mamoru, but say nothing. Back when you were the lord of Mordor you would have him punished for his failure, but such actions here could drive your pawns away.

"Perhaps your curse is interfering with your control of your magic. All the more imperative that we work to cure you." Even failures can be turned to your advantage; his failure to learn magic will just pull him further into your debt.

"Maybe. Have you figured out how to fix me?"

"No," you reply, "I will likely need to see it in action first."

"I'm done for the day then, it's getting late. You should go home too, Ami."

"Okay, I will. Let's go to the bus then." The three of you leave the house and head to the bus together. Chiba asks Mizuno pointless questions such as her schoolwork, so you ignore their conversation.

You get on the bus and say your goodbyes, each getting off at your own stops.

When you reach Makoto's house again you greet her, but do little else this day.

AN: Sorry for the long update time and short update, this story is kinda dragging on a bit and has gotten boring to write. All the interesting stuff happens like 30 updates from now, at the very least. I did not anticipate SM being quite this drawn out, though my ruthless attempts at adherence to canon may be a part of that.
