[ Every day, it seemed, the Garden grew livelier with the activities of these off-world cadets. A fresh batch had arrived just this weekend, and after some cajoling of the registrar staff, their applications had been processed. Of course, there remained the matter of their interviews. ]

[ With a final slurp of the coffee in his mug, the headmaster righted his sweatervest before opening his office door to the waiting crowd. ]

Indeed, allies are a most important asset when faced with uncertainty.

[ Cid's hands wiggle into his desk drawers and retrieve a roll of jelly candies. He offers one to this Kamui. ]

I'm afraid you'll find that our world also has its inhospitable citizens. They've been terrorized, you see, by the threats and tyranny of very powerful people we know as sorceresses. It appears that those who can utilize magic naturally are very common in worlds other than ours! But here, many people are wary of the extraordinary.

Thank you.

[As a teenager with a sweet tooth, it's only natural that he accepts it with genuine pleasure and eats it.]

I have to remember not to be a show-off then. But no such thing as magic in Tokyo.

[They cant call it magic-- it's different for everyone else. Obviously he doesn't know how the onmyouji do it, or how the monks and miko come into their power, but he knows for sure what his is, and it's not magic. It doesn't even have a name that's easily understandable by normal human beings. Or sorceresses. Or anyone else.

It just is. Right there, for him to tap into when he needs it, and never requires something for him to be able to use it.]

There's something else, but comes from the inside.

[He figures he needs to be truthful about his powers, enough to let it pass when he actually lets them out one of these days. He knows that people are simply paranoid by nature, and he wants things to clear out first.]

Ahh, yes a natural power beyond the physical. That would be considered sorcery here.

[ Cid chews a candy himself. ]

We've a lot of new cadets now with such innate abilities, thanks to the Time Compression which has brought people from other worlds... I'm sure that we will eventually find a way to send you all back from whence you've come to us, but for now, it can't hurt to learn, can it?

[ He takes out his memopad and scrawls out his signature. ]

If you take this to the registrar, they'll finish your processing and get you settled in.

I'll learn how the people here work soon enough, sir.

[Kamui takes the piece of paper, stands and inclines his head. Enough to be polite, but not enough that he has to bow low to the man.] Thank you very much.
