Settling the issue

3rd person POV:

Eda, in her room, spoke to her superior officer, updating them on what had transpired at the child's birthday party.

Eda: That's the gist of what occurred.

???: I see. Good work. We were able to capture the robeless criminal. Is there anything else you can update us on?

Eda: No-

(Slam)

Yn: Actually!

Barging into Eda's room, Yn stole the spotlight.

Yn: I have something I would like to discuss.

Eda: How did you get into my room?! The door was locked!

Yn: I have a key.

Eda: You have a key to my room?

Placing his hand behind her head, Yn pulls out a key.

Yn: Not anymore...

He drops it into her hands and faces the holographic spell representing a person.

Yn: Anyhow, I wish to have an audience with your leader.

Yn: I'm willing to negotiate the information of the scroll.

???: Negotiate?

Yn: Yes. Your mages are quite annoying after all. How am I supposed to turn this fine girl into a magnificent lady of magic with all these interruptions!?

Yn: So... Take me to your leader. Or...Calia might get what she wants.

???: You dare- hm?

Hearing a voice, the character stops and listens, before continuing.

???:....(annoyed sigh)... Radcliffe, you are to bring the magician for...negotiations...

Eda: Huh?

Yn: Fantastic! I shall meet you where you reside as soon as possible!

Yn: April! Pack your things! We're going on a trip!

Yn: You too Eda.

April:(in the distance) Trip!? Where the hell are you taking us now?!

Yn: Eda's home base!

April:(in the distance) You want me to go back to the Magi sanctum!?

Yn: Don't worry, we'll go to your base later!

(Opening theme)


With a begrudging April, Eda, and Yn set out the Magi Sanctum, the base of operations for the Magi knights, keepers of the secret of magic.

To Yn's shock, the headquarters of the Magi weren't as far as he thought they would be.

Several miles out of the city, Yn parked his Magic Mobile near the edge of a great lake.

Yn:... It's here?

Eda: Yes.

Yn:.... I've gone fishing here...

April: Why are you sounding upset? It's not like you would have stumbled upon it.

Yn: Still... If I had known... Why is it here?

Eda: That's of no importance right now, we mustn't keep them waiting.

April: I'll wait here.

Yn: No, no, you're coming with us.

April: I literally broke in and stole something from here. They're not going to like having me back.

Yn: Just stay near me, I'll protect you.

April: With what?

Yn: Blackmail.

April:...

Eda:...

April: It better be some damn good blackmail.

With that, Eda led Yn to a few trees which he noticed made a hexagonal opening in the forest, big enough to fit a small car.

Placing her hand on one of the trees, Eda cast a spell.

Eda: "Ma-no".

The opening between the trees then split apart and moved to reveal a staircase into the ground.

With a silly grin, Yn followed his assistants down the staircase as the entrance closed behind them.

The torch-lit staircase went on for some time until it became a straight line through a tunnel that had walls made from water.

Yn and his assistants had entered an underground lake of water that had several buildings in its depths.

The buildings were spherical, with an orange see-through dome top.

Interconnected by tunnels, this small structure spanned a few football fields of space.

(Magi Sanctum)

April: Looks like they upped security...

She referred to the bus-sized creatures patrolling the sanctum.

Yn: Magic sure is great... Being able to build this underwater and underground...

Eda: The Sanctum wasn't always underwater, simply in this cavern.

Eda: Only a few decades ago was the sanctum drowned in water.

Yn: Oh, so only slightly less impressive. April does your gang have anything like this?

Eda:(chuckles)...

April:(glares)... No... We choose to be a bit closer to the normies.

April: These robed ass hats, are too afraid to get close, so it's easier to hide.

Eda: That's simply a coincidence, you hide near normies because you have nowhere else to go.

Eda: And the situation we're in is clear proof that being near normies is not a good idea.

April: Oh here we go again! This being all my fault! You know, you share some blame too!

Eda: Me?!

April: Don't you Knights have rules about not going into populated cities? You should have never followed me!

Eda: You stole a precious artifact!

April: Because it should go to Calia!

Yn: You can complain about the past all you want, but you can't change it.

Eda: He's right...

April: Yeah... Let's just blame him.

Eda: Agreed.

Yn:... Fair enough, I suppose.

Finally entering the Sanctum, Yn was surprised to find that there weren't as many Mage Knights as he would have thought.

In general, there weren't many people.

Walking down multiple hallways, Yn and his assistants were mostly alone with a few odd exceptions.

After arriving at the front gates to the grand hall, the area where all diplomatic discussions the Magi of this area take place, Yn was stopped by two mage knights.

Knight: The Magician must leave all his "tricks" here.

Yn:... You're going to have to strip me naked then.

Eda: Yn...

Yn: Fine, fine, just go on ahead.

Eda: Very well. Come on, you. You're to stay by my side the whole time.

April: Fine, you'll make a good human shield.

The two enter the grand hall as Yn begins to strip down to remove all his tricks.

(Grand hall)

Zeus, sat in his seat, slightly elevated from the ground floor. Multiple seats were going around the room in a circle, however, they were currently empty.

A woman then entered the hall and stood on a podium high above the rest.

This woman was in her early forties, she had blond hair and golden eyes. Wearing a green and black shoulderless dress and a pendant below her neck, she watched along with Zeus, Eda, and April enter.

(Leader of the Magi: Silvia Honset)

Eda:(bows)

April:...

Zeus: Bow, scum!

Silvia: It is fine. I don't expect a follower of Calia to bow to me.

Silvia: Knight, where is this Magician?

Eda: Outside. He's leaving his magic tricks behind.

Silvia: Very good.

Zeus: Heh...

(Creeeeeek)

The gates open as Yn enters. The knights behind him panicking

Yn: I have arrived!

Silvia:!?!

The Grand Mistress of the Magi was first to see the completely naked Phoenix strut into the Grand Hall.

Zeus:!?

Eda/April:??

His assistants turn to find their magician in his birthday suit.

Eda:(blushing) Wh-wh-wh-wh-WHAAAAAAT!?

She covers her eyes but couldn't help peeking from time to time as she forces her head the other way.

April:(stares).....

Not knowing what to do or how to react, April simply stares at Yn who stops in between his assistants.

Eda:(embarrassed) Why are you naked!?

Yn: I wasn't joking. This is the only way I could enter the hall without any tricks.

Eda: Are you saying even your underwear has tricks!?

Yn: Yep.

April: Why do you have tricks in your underwear?

Yn:...... I am very dedicated to my craft. And it saves time.

April: For what?

Yn: Unimportant! What is...

Yn: Hello!

He begins to introduce himself to the grand mistress of the Magi.

Yn: I am Yn Phoenix, the Impossible man!

Eda: Ghyaaaa! This was supposed to redeem me! Now I'll forever be a laughing stock!

She whined while trying not to look at Yn.

April: Cut it out, it's not that big of a deal. Or have you not seen a naked man before?

Eda: Of course I haven't!

April; Hah, Virgin!

Eda: What, you're not?

April: Well-....... Shut up, I've... Done stuff...!

Yn:(smiles)

Silvia:...

Yn: You can stare all you want, but we still need to negotiate.

Silvia: You're a bold one, mister Phoenix. I don't believe I know anyone who would dare approach as naked as the day they were born.

Yn: Not even your husband?

Silvia: I'm unmarried.

Yn: Ohhh... Those are some dangerous words.

Silvia: You've memorized the contents of the scroll, correct.

Yn: Yep.

Silvia: Now tell me why I shouldn't just have your mind probed to get this information?

Yn: Because Calia will receive the contents of it before you.

Silvia:... I see. I'll be sure to memorize the contents this time.

Silvia: What do you want, mister Phoenix?

Yn: No more mages attacking me without warning, keeping Eda and April... And the knowledge of why Calia wants the scroll.

Silvia:...

Silvia: Calia and I are sisters. Rivals even. We both strived to become the Lady of Magi.

Silvia: When she failed, she didn't take it well. She probably only wants the scroll because only the leader of the Magi is allowed to read its contents.

Yn: That's it?

Silvia: If there is another explanation then you must ask Calia herself, for I don't know it.

Yn: Alright, alright... I will.

Silvia: Now-

Yn: Wait, I just remembered something I wanted.

Yn: A guarantee that once I give you the information, you won't just try to erase my mind.

Silvia:(fake smile) And how would you like me to do that?

Yn: How about... Ah! Make me a member of the roundtable.

Zeus: WHAT!?

April:(mind) Oh no...

Eda: Yn, you can't be a member of the roundtable!

Yn: Why not? To be a member, I have to prove I'm a master at my school of magic, right?

Yn: Check YouTube for that proof.

Zeus: You can't use magic!

Yn: Are you sure about that? I'm able to participate in Con-Rule, in which both parties must be able to use magic.

Yn: Doesn't that mean, according to magic itself, I am a practitioner of Magic?

Silvia:(chuckles)... You make a point, but why should I allow this?

Yn: How many of your mages can travel the world easily? How many can perform magic in front of others and get away with it?

Yn: Like it or not... Some rules and traditions should get exceptions...

Yn: Those exceptions can lead to great things.

Yn: I know you've all stayed hidden watching us "normies" from a distance. But in case you didn't get the memo, we don't live in the times where you need to mess with memories and kill.

Yn: Miss Beautiful... This amazingly handsome and sexy, naked man in front of you hasn't come out of your wild dreams to seduce you with fantasy.

Yn: Only with the truth. I have made half the world believe in Magic. I can make the other half believe it. I can bring you into the modern age with no fear of being caught.

Yn: Is that a good enough reason for you to let me be a part of this?

Silvia:...

Silvia:(chuckles)...

Silvia:(shakes head)...

Placing her arm on her desk, the mistress of Magi rests her head on her right hand and stares at the naked Yn, contemplating on what to do.

Silvia:... Show me this..."Youtube".

Yn:(smiles)
