(It was nighttime, and it was raining. Two magicians were being chased by some forbidden users from the Forbidden Sped Organization.)
(Sounds of their footsteps running with fear)
Magician Gusto: Huh! Huh! Huh!
Magician Rushio: Huh! Huh! Huh!
(The magicians inhaling and exhaling, but the forbidden sped users were on them.)
(More like the FBI in the USA—that's how the forbidden users looked.)
Magician Gusto: We have to keep going!
Magician Rushio: Right!
(The forbidden users were still chasing with their guns, and their uniform was all black.)
Forbidden User Guy: We have to make sure they don't go out of our sight!
(The magicians were still running for their lives.)
Magician Gusto: Huh! Huh! Huh!
Magician Rushio: Huh! Huh! Huh… Gusto, I can't keep up anymore.
Magician Gusto: What the hell are you saying? We have to keep running!
Magician Rushio: I can't… I'm too tired.
Magician Gusto: Shut up! Don't you say that you don't want to live!
Magician Rushio: Huh!
(The forbidden users were still chasing.)
Forbidden User Guy: To hell with this.
Vu!
(The forbidden user puts his gun behind him and increases his pace, running faster than the rest. While running, he speaks to himself.)
Forbidden User Guy: I hate magicians. They just contaminate our world; hence, they need to be exterminated.
(Gusto looks behind and sees the forbidden user catching up to his fellow magician.)
Magician Gusto: Huh! Rushio! You have to run faster!
Magician Rushio: I'm sorry, Gusto… I can't… you have to go on without me.
Magician Gusto: …No. (said it calmly)
Vu!
(The forbidden user who was catching up to Rushio jumped—more like he dived. Then Rushio slowly looked behind.)
Magician Rushio: Huh!
(The forbidden user jumped on Rushio. They fell together on the ground, and the forbidden user was on top of Rushio.)
Magician Gusto: Rushio!
Magician Rushio: Just go on without me. Save yourself!
(The forbidden user removed his knife in a unique way, and then…)
Stub!!!
(The forbidden user stabbed Rushio straight in the heart.)
Uuuh!
(Blood comes out of Rushio's mouth. Gusto saw what happened, and he was in shock, but he continued running.)
Magician Gusto: Damn it!!!!
Forbidden User Guy: Go after the last one, hurry!
(The rest of the forbidden users go after Gusto. Gusto sees them coming after him.)
Forbidden User Guy 2: Hey! Magician! Stop!
(Gusto saw a storey building—an apartment-like building with floors. He then goes in. The forbidden users enter the building looking clueless.)
Forbidden User Guy 3: Where'd he go?
(Then a forbidden user saw him going up the stairs.)
Forbidden User Guy 4: Up there! He's taking the stairs.
Forbidden User Guy 2: Come on, let's go!
(They go after Gusto. View of Gusto looking for which room to enter, then he just chooses a random room and goes in. He looks around.)
Magician Gusto: Is anyone here?
Person (woman): Hey, I heard the door open. Who's there?
Magician Gusto: …A woman?
(A woman was showering. Then two forbidden users entered the room. Gusto saw.)
Magician Gusto: Shit!
Forbidden User Guy 3: There he is!
(Gusto runs to the curtain attached to the shower.)
Forbidden User Guy 2: Stop him!
(Gusto throws himself on the curtain.)
Pew!!! Pew!!!
(Forbidden User Guy 3 shoots where Gusto fell on the curtain.)
Person (woman): Aaaaah!!!
(The woman screamed in fear.)
Huh! Huh! Huh!
(The woman was panting. Then the users saw that there was no one on the curtain.)
Woman: Who are you people?
Forbidden User Guy 2: Don't mind us, ma'am.
Forbidden User Guy 3: Is he gone?
Forbidden User Guy 2: Obviously. He did some kind of magic trick and disappeared.
(In the actual sense, Gusto was hiding behind something, and the woman could see him. Then Gusto put his finger by his lips, showing the woman to keep quiet.)
Forbidden User Guy 2: Damn it, he's gone! Let's go.
Forbidden User Guy 3: Sorry, lady, for intruding. You can finish your bath.
(The forbidden users leave. Then Gusto stood up slowly.)
Magician Gusto: Are they gone?
Person (woman): Yes… (said it with fear)
(Gusto was leaving the bathroom.)
Woman: How did you do that?
(Gusto stopped and turned his head to the side.)
Woman: The way you disappeared from the curtain?
Magician Gusto: …Have you ever heard of something called magic? Well, that's what I did.
(Gusto leaves.)
Magician Gusto: Oh, and thank you for not exposing me. And sorry for seeing you naked.
Person (woman): Huh!
(The woman looked on the side and felt shy, her cheeks red.)
(Gusto leaves and walks nonchalantly in the hallway.)
Magician Gusto: Rushio… I promise you your death hasn't gone in vain.
MC Sidachi: In this world, magic is a curse to talent. In other words, magic is a crime. The Forbidden Sped is an organization with a black Sped logo, like the one in cards, with a red line crossing the Sped diagonally. This organization tracks and hunts down anyone who practices magic. They've been doing this for the last 80 years. So if you're caught doing magic, you have to tell them the reason why you did it. And if your reason isn't valid, you'll be executed. This is the cruel and harsh world that I live in… However, I have the talent of doing magic—real magic—and I won't stop doing it. So which means I believe in magic while others don't.
(The present day. It was morning at Sidachi's school. The class teacher, Ms. Kirina, walked into class.)
Teacher Ms. Kirina: Good morning, class.
(The whole class stands up.)
Class Pupils: Good morning, Ms. Kirina!
Teacher Ms. Kirina: Now, is everyone in today? Just because it's Friday doesn't mean you should skip class.
(Sidachi was just sitting, shuffling cards, while his friends in class were standing.)
Friend Ashy: Sidachi! Sidachi!
(Ashy was whispering to Sidachi, but he couldn't hear her and continued shuffling the cards.)
Teacher Ms. Kirina: Ashy!
(Ashy looks at Ms. Kirina with a smile.)
Friend Ashy: Yes! Ms. Kirina.
Teacher Ms. Kirina: May I please know who you're speaking with?
Friend Ashy: Umm… no one, Ms. Kirina. I was actually saying it's kinda hot, sooo…
Friend Rico: Ashy, no one's buying it.
Teacher Ms. Kirina: What's going on?
(Ms. Kirina walks to Ashy's desk and suddenly sees Sidachi shuffling cards.)
Teacher Ms. Kirina: Nasharimei Sidachi, what the hell do you think you're doing, playing cards in my class?
MC Sidachi: Oh, I'm sorry, Ms. Kirina. I wasn't aware that you were in class.
Guy Classmate: What! You're saying the whole time you never saw her walk in?
MC Sidachi: Yes.
Teacher Ms. Kirina: May I please have those cards?
(Sidachi gives Ms. Kirina the deck of cards.)
I really appreciate your cooperation, but you'll never see these cards again.
(Ms. Kirina leaves Sidachi's desk.)
Friend Ashy: I was calling you to tell you, but it's like you were just focused on what you were doing.
MC Sidachi: It's fine.
(After some time, the bell rings in the school hallway. Pupils were out for their lunchtime.)
(Sidachi and Ashy sit outside, talking to each other.)
MC Sidachi: Hey, Ashy.
Friend Ashy: What! (said rudely)
MC Sidachi: You were right.
Friend Ashy: About what?
MC Sidachi: That it was kinda hot.
Friend Ashy: Are you trying to mess with me right now?
MC Sidachi: What got you in a bad mood?
Friend Ashy: Sidachi, you were playing cards when Ms. Kirina walked in!
MC Sidachi: Is there a problem?
Friend Ashy: Yes, there's a problem. You embarrassed yourself in front of the whole class.
MC Sidachi: I was just focused on what I was doing.
Friend Ashy: You still believe in magic, do you?
(After hearing this question, Sidachi became curious, then his mood changed.)
MC Sidachi: This conversation is done.
(Sidachi stands up and leaves.)
Friend Ashy: Sidachi, where are you going? I didn't mean to make you upset…
(She exhales.)
Huhhh!
Friend Rico: Hey, wassup.
(Rico comes with a tray of food.)
Friend Ashy: Oh, hey, Rico.
Friend Rico: What's wrong? You look like you're thinking too much.
Friend Ashy: No, it's just Sidachi.
(Rico was eating his food.)
Friend Rico: What about him?
Friend Ashy: I think Sidachi still believes in magic.
Friend Rico: Wait… the conversation you just had with Sidachi was about magic?
Friend Ashy: No, not really.
Friend Rico: Then what exactly?
Friend Ashy: Look, I just don't think someone like Sidachi can do magic.
Friend Rico: Has Sidachi ever done magic in your eyes?
Friend Ashy: No.
Friend Rico: Well, do you think someone like me can do magic?
Friend Ashy: Of course not.
Friend Rico: Classes will be starting soon, so I think I have to head back to class.
(Rico stands up with his bag.)
Friend Ashy: What! You're leaving already? You've barely touched your food!
Friend Rico: I know.
Friend Ashy: You do know we're in the same class.
Friend Rico: Can I tell you something?
Friend Ashy: What is it?
Friend Rico: Look, don't believe everything you hear, and just don't judge a book by its cover. That's all I needed to tell you. You'll find me in class.
(Rico begins to walk to class.)
Friend Ashy: Is it me, or are Rico and Sidachi acting weird today?
(As Rico walks to class, Sidachi is also on his way to class. In the school hallway, there were two bullies waiting to bully an eighth grader who was coming out of the bathroom. Sidachi spotted them and knew their intentions.)
Bully Guy: This eighth grader won't know what really hits him.
Bully Guy 2: Yep, we just have to bring the element of surprise.
(The moment Sidachi walked by them, the eighth grader walked out of the bathroom. Sidachi snapped his fingers once.)
Snap!
(The bullies were handcuffed to each other by the pole of the stairs. The moment the bullies tried to grab the eighth grader, they failed and hit each other, seeing they were handcuffed.)
Bully Guy 2: Woah! What the hell! Handcuffs? From where?
Bully Guy: Who did this? Was it you?
Bully Guy 2: Are you crazy! We were together this whole time!
(Sidachi takes his seat in class. His hair covers his face, and he looks down, speaking to himself in a composed, firm voice.)
MC Sidachi: I despise it when one human harms another. We're all the same. No matter how big or small someone is, no matter their strength or appearance, we all bleed the same red blood. That truth is why I don't fear my own kind.
(After some time, classes are now over at 3:30 p.m. Everyone starts to knock off. Rico, Ashy, and Sidachi prepare to go home.)
Friend Ashy: Whuuuf! What a day…
(View of the pupils leaving class.)
Teacher Ms. Kirina: Sidachi, I would like to talk to you in private, just for a minute.
MC Sidachi: Okay, I'll catch up with you guys outside.
Friend Rico: Cool, you'll find us.
(Rico and Ashy walk out of class.)
Teacher Ms. Kirina: Do you believe in magic?
(Suddenly, a wind blew outside. It was a silent moment.)
MC Sidachi: No, I don't.
Teacher Ms. Kirina: …Okay, that's it. You can go.
MC Sidachi: Is there anything else you'd like to ask me?
Teacher Ms. Kirina: No, that was all.
(Sidachi leaves class.)
(Ms. Kirina looks thoughtful, with a curious expression.)
Teacher Ms. Kirina: I think he still believes in magic… Ever since he started learning here, in pre-grade, he's always been talking about magic. I wonder what has changed…
(Sidachi comes outside and sees his friends waiting for him.)
Friend Rico: Hey, Sidachi!
(Rico and Ashy come closer.)
Friend Ashy: We were planning on getting ice cream on the way home, if that's okay with you?
MC Sidachi: I'm heading straight home.
(Sidachi walks away.)
Maybe next time…
(Rico and Ashy look puzzled.)
Friend Ashy: Do you think it's stress?
Friend Rico: No, everyone just needs space at some point.
Friend Ashy: You really think so?
Friend Rico: I know so.
Friend Ashy: Whatever, I'm going home.
(Ashy begins walking home. Rico watches her.)
Friend Rico: I think he's acting like this maybe because of what Ashy asked him earlier. Well, I know Sidachi… he'll get over it.
(After some time, it was early evening. Sidachi was still walking home. He looked at the time on his phone.)
MC Sidachi: It's 6 p.m. sharp. It's my first time going home this late. Is it because I walked too slow, or because I spent too much time sitting at the park? Anyways…
(Suddenly, Sidachi hears a girl screaming for help.)
Close Friend Morissa: Help!!! Somebody help!!!
Guy Thug: No one can hear you, so don't waste your voice.
MC Sidachi: It sounded like a girl screaming for help… I think it came down that alley… wait!
(Sidachi spots a shop with mannequins.)
Guy Thug: A pretty girl like you moving without a boyfriend… well, these are the consequences of moving alone.
(The thug tries to harass her.)
MC Sidachi: She's with me.
(Sidachi shows up from a distance.)
Guy Thug: Huh! Who the hell are you?
MC Sidachi: A moment ago, you made it clear that pretty girls shouldn't move without their boyfriends. Well, here I am. The girl you're about to harass is my girlfriend.
(The thug points a gun at Sidachi.)
Guy Thug: Look, kid. I know this girl came alone, so don't try to play hero here. If you take any step forward, I swear I'll shoot.
MC Sidachi: I dare you.
Guy Thug: Huh? You've got guts, kid. Too bad your girlfriend is gonna see you die.
PO!!!
(The thug pulls the trigger and shoots Sidachi.)
Did I really shoot this kid? … Stay here and don't move, 'cause if you try to run, I'll shoot.
(The thug lets go of Morissa and goes to check on Sidachi. The thug reaches the body, turns it around, and sees a mannequin.)
Guy Thug: What! A mannequin?
(The thug looks behind quickly and sees that Morissa is not there. Sidachi hides with Morissa in a small space in-between the alley and grabs her mouth.)
MC Sidachi: Shhhh, I need you to trust me, okay?
(Morissa looks closely into Sidachi's eyes and nods, saying yes.)
Guy Thug: Hey kid, stop playing dumb! I know you're still here, so stop hiding with the girl and just come out.
(The thug reloads his gun. Sidachi stands behind the thug from a distance. The thug realizes someone is standing behind him, so he quickly turns around and points the gun again at Sidachi.)
Guy Thug: Don't move! Who the hell do you think you are, some kind of god?!
(Sidachi faces downward, his hair covering his face.)
MC Sidachi: The one thing I dislike the most is seeing a human torture another human. No one gives you the right to treat people unequally.
