“Your dad’s the director of the security district?”

Sunny nodded.

“How? Isn’t he a hollow?”

Sunny bristled. “So?”

Harmony raised her hands. “I didn’t mean it like that. Well, I kinda did. I just meant…how did he even get that job? Not a lot of hollows work for the District.”

“Dad’s good at what he does.”

“And what’s that?”

“He’s smart. Makes all these gadgets that mages can use to amplify their magic, and preserve it. He started off at a lower level position in the security sector, but then one of his inventions got real popular so they bumped him up. After a few years he ended up running the place.”

Harmony appeared star stricken. “What was the gadget that got his foot in the door?”

Sunny dug in her pocket, “Smoke bombs.”

“No way.”

“His version of them blocks a mage’s vision of their opponent and distorts the user’s magical signature. It’s the perfect storm for a sneak attack.”

Harmony crossed her arms. “So that’s how you always got the upper hand on me during our fights.”

“Nope. Mine don’t distort magical signatures.” Sunny grinned, “You just fell for a cheap trick.”
