[At first, there's no picture. All that can be seen is a blank screen. However, Issei starts to speak.]

Do you know the festival Ryuujin Matsuri? The dragon god of Fuyuki's river Miongawa rampaged many, many years ago. A traveling monk prayed for three days and three nights. At the end of that, the dragon was converted to Buddhism. The monk joined Ryudoji Temple, and the dragon god taught judo to the monks there.

Myself, I prefer karate.

[Finally a picture appears. It's the hallway of Issei's school. Issei is standing calmly over another male teenager, who is lying on the ground groaning in pain.]

And that's why you're on the floor right now. Hm, that festival is coming up, isn't it? I should be preparing...

((Before anyone gets on my case, him being skilled at karate is obscure, just-translated for me canon. Sob.))

Magecraft would be more accurate. I'm no Magician. Kid, on the other hand, deserves the title even in my world.

Kid literally is a magician, though. He doesn't use spellcasting; he uses illusions.

He also worldhops. Second Magic, something that can't be replicated by normal means. He's still a Magician, and I intend to brag about knowing one if ever I'm caught and held for questioning by magi.

You could brag about knowing two magicians. Y'know, since I'm one too.

You don't worldhop. You're not a Magician by my world's definition.

[personal profile] pandorabox 2010-05-27 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
So worldhopping makes him a magician by your world's definition?

Something that is impossible to replicate without magic is True Magic. The Second Magic is manipulation of alternate dimensions.

... weird.

I like my magic better, anyway.

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2010-05-27 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I like yours better too.

[personal profile] pandorabox 2010-05-27 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
You'd be the first!

Most people who know about spellcasting think it's automatically better.

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2010-05-27 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I really don't like spellcasting. It hurts too many people.

[personal profile] pandorabox 2010-05-27 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I just think it's cheap.

[personal profile] pandorabox 2010-05-30 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm a magician though, so that's just me~

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2010-05-30 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I prefer you to most magi I've met.

[personal profile] pandorabox 2010-05-30 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I think that's one of the best compliments I've ever been given~

[identity profile] stripping.livejournal.com 2010-05-30 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad.
