All's well that ends well

[ So you've wished the dead back to life, but there's still 2 wishes you have to make. Ultimately what happens from here is entirely in your hands, but for the first time in eight weeks everyone is alive and whole again (even that pesky merman). There is that corruption you should deal with, but surely you know what to do about that.

Once you've settled and wound down a bit, maybe you should relax a bit before going your separate ways. You've earned it.

... Wait, you would like to learn that?

[ He's checking to see if Kurosaki's for real first. ]

[hoodini]

What, you can't do it?

[ he very much so wants to learn. whatever it takes, ok! ]

[divinated]

[ ... Hm. ]

I can try to teach you it, but it's a type of magic that you may not be able to use, since only a select number of people have an affinity for it. Are you okay with that, Kurosaki-kun?

[hoodini]

If I can't learn it, I'll just say you're a horrible teacher. [ nod. this makes sense somehow??? ] And then you'll have to try teaching Toranosuke-kun too.

[divinated]

I--

[ You know what, he'll just smile and move on... ]

Alright, if you don't work out, I'll try Miyamura-kun and see if he's a better match than you are. Affinity-wise, I mean.

[hoodini]

Good! [ ... ] So how do we find out if I'm the right affinity?

[divinated]

Just a quick, small test.

[ ... ]

Are you able to do more than one form of magic, Kurosaki-kun?

[hoodini]

Nope!

[ this proves nothing ok. ]

[divinated]

[ Okay that wasn't actually what he expected. WELL.

It's not a lost cause. It could mean Jin has untapped potential. ]

Alright, then... let's see your right hand.

[ He extends his hand out to him. ]

[hoodini]

Okay. But if you try holding it, just remember! I'm with Toranosuke-kun.

[ so he's spoken for. not sorry in the least!! annnd holding out his hand. do your thing, sage-chan. ]

[divinated]

It's alright, you're not my type anyway.

[ Masumi laughs though, amused. He takes Jin's hand carefully and presses a finger straight into the middle of it. It's not hard, but rather gentle.

Then he takes it away. ]

You have the potential to learn. Congratulations.
