Meeting Headmaster PV

^{LOVELY BANNER MADE BY LOVELY ARA<3}

" Ah… that's right… you're one of the newer students." He hummed out, his tone still gentle, flickering with light amusement. So this girl does know pale pink robes are a shame. Perhaps he was too hard on her in the beginning. " Well… if that's the case, I believe you are the one that deserves an apology" He says sincerely. "You have not been here for long. Don't fret. It merely means you have a long journey ahead. Like a blank canvas with you as the artist. It's your responsibility and duty in the end to paint a masterpiece. Don't you think so?"

" Say…. Sato chan," he decides to switch to her last name out of respect. " out of curiosity remind me again how your academic performance was during Day school? Did you even attend? I'm afraid I'm still rather new at this job, so I haven't yet gotten around to reading past records of Day School for our youngest batch this year" .

Day School, he had less interest in. There were far too many factors that could squash the idea of potential. You could show potential, and yet not be able to keep up with the real work that comes with attending Mahoutokoro. You could be playing around, and snap out of it in the academy. Day School was just for the basics of basics, but he genuinely was curious of her history. If he recalled correctly, she wasn't from a pureblood family. There was quite a number of Sato's that he knew, but Olivia Belle Sato was too unfamiliar. Likely she was either a no-name wizardborn like Sako was, a no-named halfblood, or an unknown muggleborn. Regardless, he had to get to know his students one way or another, didn't he?

He was mildly surprised her only reasoning of her visit was to see him, which granted a small smile from the taller man. " Do you often go out of your way to pay respects, Sato Chan?"

" Oh I see… a muggleborn. Why yes, they do start at that age. Though, I hardly see that as any reason to apologise for. It is depended on when your first instance of magic happens, yes?" He retorted, lightheartedly. " But you didn't go even after moving here at 8? That's quite a few years until you start at Mahoutokoro. It helps especially a muggleborn to get used to basics of magic. Were your parents… reluctant to support you in magical education?" He asked curiously. " Pardon, I don't mean to pry. You don't have to answer if you prefer not to answer".

Unless she had her first instance of magic at age 10, almost 11 - then she should've gotten the opportunity at least to attend Day School. Sako had no qualms with muggleborns, in fact- preferring them more often than purebloods. But he understood realising there was a whole magical world hidden from most muggles, it would be beneficial for her to have attended day school. Mahoukotoro took studies seriously, the school wasn't about to slow down just because a muggleborn was struggling with the basics. Or maybe she was just busy. With.. whatever 8 year olds do.

" You said you came to Japan at 8? I wouldn't have guessed. Your Japanese is rather fluent. I might've mistaken you for a local. Where did you learn it?" he commented with light jest.

At her apology, he gestured her to his desk - it's surface showing nothing but paperwork. " You hardly interrupted anything, as you can see. I'm afraid I'll be skipping lunch today." He waved off. At least she was polite.

" Why do your parents say you are too polite? 'Too' indicates it's bad, isn't it? Whats the bad thing about being too polite, you think?"

" Internment….?" Sako repeated curiously, indicating for her that he wanted her to elaborate. He wasn't sure if he just misunderstood, or her Japanese still needed some training. Could she mean entertainment? Internships weren't something an 8 year old generally worried about, if that's what she meant. But he didn't want to be rude and take back his statement on what he said about her Japanese, so he allowed her to take reign on the conversation regarding that.

" That's quite an interesting muggle school", he hummed in awe. Should he make students in Mahoukotoro take as much languages as possible too? Perhaps later once he ensures Mahoutokoro's halls are filled with most navy and gold that the rest of the colours are drowned out. " Swirtzerland has quite a different culture than Japan…" he commented. Didn't they take balance between life and work seriously? Not that he ever been to Swirtzerland to confirm this. He only remembered the drunken slurred jealousy of his previous coworkers in his old firm after a hard day at the job. Or even mockery - when they achieved something great after setting aside life.

Still, Sako was curious. " That's quite a lot of culture shocks you have to go through. First - arriving in Japan. And then shortly after - finding out you have magical blood. Was a few years enough to adjust to everything?". He couldn't imagine being so young and having your whole world change so much in a short time.

He offered a polite practiced smile at them thanking him for a compliment.

However at her next statement, he raised an eyebrow. " You were willing to risk your own safety just so she got what she wanted? "Not to mention weak as hell. Who broke their arms after merely jumping? Without magic medicine, muggles harm themselves so easily, huh? He looked at her with a more serious look. " Did you resent her? Your sister? She was selfish enough to let you harm yourself just to get what she wanted, after all". He quizzed, though he tried not to sound judgemental. Instead, as if he was questioning an art piece he didn't fully understanding.

He noticed her eyes darting to the dartboard and smirked with a sigh like laugh. " What about it?" He asked, pushing her to share whats on her mind.

I cannot DESCRIBE how red I became when I said entertainment wrong. Right after he complimented me. I felt tears of embarrassment come but I held them back cause hello, I’m talking to the headmaster! ”Im so sorry, Headmaster. I meant entertainment. I’m so so sorry.” I said. He asked me about going through so much change in so little time. I thought about that slowly. It didn’t seem that much to me. But then again I was used to traveling all over. ”I do have to say, I was a bit surprised about being a witch.” I said picking a safe answer. ”I was quite upset when I had to move but I adapted pretty quick.” I continued. I was bit shocked that he thought my sister was selfish and I would be angry at her for wanting a toy. I tried not to seem too impolite. ”Headmaster, my sister was really only four years old. I don’t think she knew better. I just wanted to please her.” I said softly. I watched as the Headmaster’s gaze also shifted to the dartboard I was looking at.He gave a little cheeky smirk and asked what I thought about it. I looked at him. ”All I’m thinking is that there’s a dartboard.” I said politely with a bit of a bounce in my voice. ”Surely it wouldn’t bother you if I asked you what it was for?” I said a bit slower. Hoping, no PRAYING she wouldn’t find it rude that I was asking a
question that might have been a little personal. ”You don’t have to tell me. I apologize if I was being a bit rude…” I added on.

A light relaxed laugh escaped him at her explanation. She could've went along with him and explained what she meant instead of admitting to her mistake and apologizing, but she was truthful instead. Embarrassed even, he guessed. Some people haven't learned how to cover up their slip ups, he supposed. No matter, she was just a kid. " Please don't fret. Japanese is a very difficult language. You are juggling several. I sort of understood what you were trying to say" he tries his best to assure. The last thing he needed was a child to come out of his office crying. " So you dabble in performance arts" he continues, attempting to distract her from her earlier blunder. " In what what is that? Dance? Singing? Perhaps you specialize in something more specific?"

" That's a good trait to have. Adaptability. Especially for a muggleborn" he compliments, though her answer provided less detail than he hoped. He supposed a 1st year would be extra careful around someone with authority. This was quite the change from his previous job, that's for sure. " You will do well here with that skill. I hope you continue to hone it. I look forward to what colours your robe will show after the next exam. I certainly hope you're aiming higher than just lavender" he says, though in a tone that signified she didn't have to answer.

" But Sato chan…" he lets out a light laugh, keeping his tone light. The curiosity still strong in his tone. "That just makes me more concerned. She was 4 and could not repay you back adequately in case you actually did succeed in giving her what she wanted. I suppose her happiness could be a form of a gift for you. Which is fair, but you said earlier that this trait of yours …. 'pleasing others' - if it was only your sister that was a recipient of this kindness and consideration, then I don't think your parents wouldn't worry about you being too kind. To be frank, Sato chan - I have a growing concern that you may hurt yourself again in the future if it means to please someone else. Perhaps a friend, a stranger, or even an enemy. Being too selfish is as much of a flaw as being too selfless. What good is doing good, when it brings you the most harm?"

He keeps a neutral look on him, though his smile disappeared, indicating he was serious. " Apologies, you did not come for a lecture. I suppose I just felt a sense of responsibility. You are one of my students after all." He apologized with a sigh. " I have a sister too. Well. 4 sisters. And 4 brothers too. All younger. The example you gave about your act of kindness reminds me of them. I can only imagine your parents felt worried for you when you were injured, and perhaps if your sister could remember it - she might've felt guilty. With all that in mind, did you think it was still worth doing that for your sister back then? There is no right or wrong answer to this of course, I am only curious in your thoughts"

He shakes his head at her latest apology. " Apologies are hardly necessary. If I didn't want you to comment or see it, I would've hidden it", he explains, taking out his drawer under the desk and taking something out. It looked to be 4 palm sized items - darts.

The dart board that Olivia addressed was on one side of the office, hidden enough if you just entered the office - but upon closer inspection, it was evidently placed at the area of the office where it was the most minimalist. No furniture or decor obstruction ones view and line of sight when standing in front of an appropriate distance from the dartboard, as demonstrated by Sako.

" It is exactly what it looks like, Sato chan. My previous occupation allowed me to mingle with muggle culture often. I was quite taken in by the simplicity of darts as a game. I'm sure you as a muggle born are already familiar with it. Theres a whole instruction on how to play it properly, but sometimes I just want to throw the darts. Simple hobby to pass the time. I practice on occasion" he puts one foot behind the other for stability and widened his stance slightly, one dart in hand and arm. In a swift movement, he angled and threw a dart towards the board.

And it landed perfectly on bullseye. Too perfect for someone who claims to just 'play it occasionally'. Regardless, he didn't brag - letting the evidence show itself and looked back to her with a kind smile, opening his palm to show an unsued dart.

" Would you like to try and give it a go? If you want to give it a shoot, I'll adjust the dartboard to your height"

MAKE A CHOICE, OLIVIA!
_{To throw a dart, or not to throw a dart?}

》Accept! Its a dart and a board, how bad could it be?

Sako seemed pleased at Olivia's acceptance. After giving her the dart, he went ahead and adjusted the board to hang lower, around Olivia's height before giving her space to throw her dart. Leaning against his desk as he watched with crossed arms and curious arms. " Whenever you're ready, Sato Chan" he encouraged.

[[KEEP IN MIND! This will lead to a roll in the discord bot channel unless owled otherwise. Depending on how good the rolls are (the higher the number, the better), Olivia will either do very well, okay, or badly. Please do not write and claim she did it perfectly until I can confirm it in my next post after the roll is done.

》Don't Accept! Theres nothing interesting about throwing darts…

Sako looked impassive. but not offended. Eventually he closes his palm, hiding the dart and gave a small smile. " No worries at all. I'm glad you could tell me honestly that you are disinterested." He would take back the dart that was already on the board, and keep back all the darts under his drawer.

》Neither! I make my own choices!

Feel free to ignore these options and give your own unique response to Sako!

The Headmaster was understanding but also not in a strange way. I brushed past that and thought about an acceptable answer to tell him. K-pop? Theater? Both? I do dabble in the performing arts. But I was really scared that he wouldn’t approve. Being honest always pays off right? “Well, I did many many theater shows and ended up getting an agent. But i’ve always kept up with school when i’m not preforming. And then I ended up getting into an girl group right before I came here. Coming here was a great surprise though. My birthday is only a few days before the school year starts.” I said soft and factual. The Headmaster said something about shooting for higher than just lavender robes. His tone said that I didn’t need to answer but I looked at him with a glint in my eye that said everything I was thinking. I was going to try to wear gold robes by the end of my second year. I nodded along with the Headmaster’s lecture. He was really making me think deeper about my actions. “I promise not to get hurt while trying to please people again Headmaster.” I said in a tone. Bu what the Headmaster said next made me realize that he kind of understood. I tried to imagine 8 Collettes. Maybe the Headmaster was a lot wiser then most people saw. “Well...Headmaster, I do think that it was worth it. She was so happy.” I said in a light tone. I listened as the Headmaster addressed the dartboard. I watched the dart as it flew across the room and landed in a perfect bullseye. I did tiny hops as I appluded. “ Thats amazing Headmaster!” I said. I’ve honestly never seen a person hit a bullseye before. “May I please try?” I asked in a calmer tone. The Headmaster lowered the dartboard to my height and gave me a dart. I felt its weight in my hand and I decided to just throw it. I heard a thwack as it landed on the dartbord. I had landed on the inner ring to the top right. I looked at it. Not half bad!

" An agent… at the mere age of 11 years old.." he hummed in slight awe. " Thats quite interesting, so it is you and a few other girls performing on stage. Well.. good to know you are getting work experience at such a young age. Ensure that this does't get in the way of your education. I understand rising stars, especially young - tend to decide not completing their education. And I hope you get a good agent. The entertainment industry can be quite cruel to kids - talented or not", he warns in a light tone. While he may not understand the massive industry that is kpop, he knew from his past job that entertainment could be exploited easily, especially for children. He used to be a lawyer after all. There were cases just like that more often than most realise.

Sako recognized the motivated glint in her eyes, which he responded with a simple smile and nod. He didn't believe in promises, really. Only results. But it was nice to see someone showing interest in taking their education seriously, especially a muggleborn where it would be all too easy to use the excuse that they weren't 'used to it'.

He looked pleased at her agreement of not being hurt. " And people. Careful of people too. It is easier for a selfish person to identity a selfless one." he decides on that last bit of advice. Being personally hurt was one thing, but being tricked was another. Not everyone has good intentions. He let out a half smile and sighed in light defeat at her mentioning it was worth it in the end. " Alright, then. If you say so. Bringing others joy can be am important fuel for motivation"

It was then that their conversation drifted to darts. How silly. At the compliment he let out a light laugh and shaked his head. " It was nothing. Anyone could do it with a little practice" he humbly says. After adjusting the dartboard for her he pays attention to where her dart landed.







He let out a laugh and gave her an applause. " Wonderful, not bad for your first try. You have a good eye for aim. With a little practice, you should be well on your way to making good use of your accuracy. Ever thought of joining a sport, Sato Chan? There will always be vacancies opened up, and perhaps you can find good use of your accuracy there. It could be something useful for you to do while you are away from your ...performance group. Perhaps a seeker tryout would interest you?", he suggested. Performing, blergh. It wasn't an activity he wanted to actively encourage in his students. He was fairly certain Mahoutokoro had such things as a drama club but if Olivia wasn't going to bring it up, then neither was he.
