The screen in front of you is mostly blank, with the exception of a loading bar, slowly creeping towards its end. Thereās no video from the other end of your connection yet, but there is muffled audio, resembling a young girlās voice. āNyehh⦠come on, why wonāt this work? Maybe technology like this is built with protection spells⦠thatāsĀ why my magic isnāt workingā¦ā
Within a few seconds, the screen flicked on, showing a rather short girl on the other end, tugging on her skirt with a frustrated expression. After a moment, she glanced back over to the camera, her face lighting up once she realized that it was working.
āHa-haha! I spoke too soon, my magic did work!ā she exclaimed triumphantly, a wide grin across her face. The tiny redhead positioned herself in the frame, adjusting the collar on her shirt a bit in order to prepare for her introduction.
āIāll, um⦠I admit, I donāt know exactly whoās listening right now. Iād cast an identification spell, but I used up all my mana on starting this whole broadcast in the first place,ā she huffed.Ā āBut, um⦠let me know if youāre here!ā
āAnyways, Iām Himiko Yumeno!ā she announced proudly, seeming to brighten up a bit at the chance to introduce herself.Ā āIām the Ultimate Mage, so remember that well! Iām here to spread my magic throughout the whole world!ā
She hesitated for a moment, her disposition falling a bit again.Ā āBut, um⦠the biggest reason Iām here is to try and find my classmates again,ā she mumbled.Ā āThe people at the killing game didnāt let us see each other again after we woke up from the simulation, and⦠there are a couple people that I really want to see again,ā she mumbled, seeming a little embarrassed about that. Realizing that sheād brought the mood down a bit, she tried to bring it back up again.Ā āSo spread the word about this, okay? And if youāre rude about any of this, Iāll use the little bit of mana I have left to hex your mouth shut,ā she muttered, crossing her arms.
