The screen in front of you is mostly blank, with the exception of a loading bar, slowly creeping towards its end. There’s no video from the other end of your connection yet, but there is muffled audio, resembling a young girl’s voice. “Nyehh... come on, why won’t this work? Maybe technology like this is built with protection spells... that’s why my magic isn’t working...”
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.
“Ha-haha! I spoke too soon, my magic did work!” 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.
“I’ll, um... I admit, I don’t know exactly who’s listening right now. I’d cast an identification spell, but I used up all my mana on starting this whole broadcast in the first place,” she huffed. “But, um... let me know if you’re here!”
“Anyways, I’m Himiko Yumeno!” she announced proudly, seeming to brighten up a bit at the chance to introduce herself. “I’m the Ultimate Mage, so remember that well! I’m here to spread my magic throughout the whole world!”
She hesitated for a moment, her disposition falling a bit again. “But, um... the biggest reason I’m here is to try and find my classmates again,” she mumbled. “The people at the killing game didn’t 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,” she mumbled, seeming a little embarrassed about that. Realizing that she’d brought the mood down a bit, she tried to bring it back up again. “So spread the word about this, okay? And if you’re rude about any of this, I’ll use the little bit of mana I have left to hex your mouth shut,” she muttered, crossing her arms.
