My Gods, My Gods, How Have I Offended Thee to deserve this? I know I've said I'd love to have some magic in my life, but this is a little beyond ridiculous!
I read through the list again and twitched at several names.
Harry Potter. Hermione Granger. Draco Freakin' Malfoy. Konoka Konoe. Yue Ayase. Asuna Kagurazuka. Evangeline Gods-Rotting McDowell?!?
Well, maybe Mana and Setsuna can help keep order with that bunch. If nothing else I can sic the Nakajima pack on them. Subaru, Ginga, and Teana - and it looks like at least three of the Numbers with them...
I hope like heck there are enough bathrooms in this place. And a big enough food budget.
... maybe if I can convince Harry and Chao to help with the cooking, I can keep up with them? I hope?
"I can understand, I suppose, your desire not to share a room with a - to use your term - 'muggle', Ms Parkinson," I said, settling one hand on the desk the Valkyrie girl had been so kind as to provide. "Her fashion sense aside, however, Ms Kagurazuka is in fact of several generations of magical descent on both sides of her family, and in fact actual magical royalty on her mother's side. If you consider yourself too good for that, then I have rather limited alternatives available. I'm sure Ms Chidori would be pleased to have you... although it would mean that I'd have to inform Sergeant Sagara of your family's ... political affiliations."
If I was the type to enjoy that sort of thing, I'd have smiled when her face went white. She'd already seen the young soldier in action once, after all, and had an idea of how paranoid he could be. I wasn't sure what she could sense from him, whether she knew what the green markings on his face indicated, but if she did...

...I cannot wait to see what happens when Malfoy pisses off Evangeline.
