Prologue

Mana: At any rate... {Jumping into the middle of a conversation here. --K}
I never thought Ai-chan would be the one to save our butts.

Cheryl: It seems that Ai-chan's a very reliable pinch hitter.

Rikka: Yeah, but we can't just rest on our laurels here.

Makoto: Yes, we need to find the Princess soon.

Mana: You're right.

Jun: Pardon me.

Mana: Wh-What?

Jun: A-Aida-senpai!

Mana: Y-Yes?

Jun: Please make me your apprentice!

Makoto: A-

Mana: Apprentice?

{OP}

Part 1

<nounwrap>Mana: Hmm... So you're Saotome Jun from Class 1-A, right? Ah, sorry for stealing your chair, Yashima-san.

Yashima: No prob.

Jun: Y-Yes! I've come here to ask to be your apprentice.

Raquel: What's an apprentice?

Davi: Someone who stays by the side of someone they admire in order to learn from them.

Rikka: Another one...

Makoto: Another?

Rikka: There's plenty of kids who look up to Mana. This actually isn't the first time this has happened.

Mana: So why do you want to be my apprentice?

Jun: It's because of what happened yesterday.

Jun: These are.... so... heavy...

Mana: Are you okay? Let me help you.

Jun: Huh? You don't have to...

Mana: Where to? The library?

Jun: Um, yeah. Ah, no. I don't want to trouble you.

Mana: It's fine. Just let me handle it.

Jun: You were so trustworthy and reassuring, just like a prince on a white stallion.

Rikka: This has nothing to do with white stallions.

Jun: I want to be a man of strong will and body, just like you!

Rikka: And Mana's not a man, either.

Jun: Please! Let me be your apprentice!

Mana: Okay.

Makoto: She said yes.

Jun: Really?

Mana: Yeah. Help me with what you are able to.

Jun: Thank you very much!

Rikka: Well, this is another fine mess...

Makoto: She didn't turn him down.... Well, that's Mana...

Jun: I, Saotome Jun, will give you my best as your apprentice!
