frequently asked questions answered
Im baaack! I bet you people missed me. Well fear no more for i am back. During my time out of action and my extended leave of absence I have read countless numbers of good,great,bad and horrid stories.
played a few games for assistance with writing something that feel’s epic (played though shadow of colossus without cheating {if you know of it or played it you know what i mean}.) and although it would be hard to implement in this story, re:music will fit perfectly.I have some BIG plans for dat story, but i'm going to start it later due to the fact that i want colored tables, I KNOW THEY EXIST I HAVE PROOF. muhahahahahaha I shall have my revenge!! *cough cough*,back on topic.
I went through and reread my story (not going to start rewriting it) and found out that the laura in the story is not the laura I planned personality wise (she’s a bit too serious). so im going to slightly adjust it throughout the next few chapters.And blind laura is not only hard to write its also boring to read soooooooo i'm going to take the cheap way out and give her a better item to view stuff with till sword arrives.
side note here if you want to imagine what laura’s see with her life detect and the first mana perception stone (and later upgrades to sword mana perception) picture batman’s detective vision from his games (without the highlight of important things), now with just the life detect skill it will look like a 360 degree radius(you know what i mean) of pitch black void with rough outlines of people. and with her mana stone she has right now only goes around a 5 foot radius around her (also 360 degrees). batman’s detective view is full throttle with the sword though.

~Laura PoV~
After walking for a good 10 minutes we stopped in front of the headmasters office. Selaehra knocked on the large double doors stating who we are and the reason for coming. The headmaster voice called from within the office.
“Thank you Selaehra for guiding miss laura to my office, you can head to your next class now. no need to keep two students away from their studies.”
She left without a replying and started walking down the hallway leaving me standing in front of the open door to the headmasters office. If this room was as messy as it was before i'm going to have to take this slowly I really dont want to trip.
As i begun my slow approach to the headmaster who was sitting behind his desk...i think, I was suddenly teleported and was sitting on the same coach as last time. I can tell since no couch can be this comfortable. I guess the headmaster used his teleport ability, im kinda getting use to it know i mean what this happened how many times now 3,4 times?

Im kinda confused how it work’s though, I mean i was standing one second and now im sitting. I didnt fall into a sitting position so im kinda confused as how it managed it. I mean is his teleport sorta like a time stopper, wait if thats the case he had to carry me and sit me down? What else happened without me knowing? No No hes my new headmaster I may have only known him for a bit but I don't think he would do anything naughty.
And if his ability had something to do with stopping time he wouldn't have been able to teleport me to this school in the first place.Unless he walk here in back in a time stopped state, No thats not it just thinking about that is scary.
“MISS LAURA! ARE YOU LISTENING!?”
“wait whaa, when. sorry headmaster I wasn't can you repeat that again i got lost in thought...don't be mad please.”
the headmaster let out a tired sigh.
“As long as you paying attention now, When did I lose you.”
“From the beginning.”
“...”
“...”
I suddenly got the evil eyes from headmaster. I started bowing and apologising at the same time and hit my head on the table.
“siiiiiigh,miss laura you really need to learn to listen when people are talking.”
“im sorry headmaster please forgive me…”
“Fine, ill start over from the beginning. As i stated previously *glare* there are 3 things I will like to discuss with you, but since were running short on time now I can only discuss 2 of them. Now before you start apologising and wasting more of the little time we have again I will like to get straight to the point.
I have a new upgraded version of the mana perception stone that you can use that not only improves the detail but also improves the range by another 5 feet so you should be able to walk around better. The only downside is you are going to have to feed you own mana into it to recharge it every hour.
Now on to the next topic that is slightly more important. After carefully thinking about it I think I have discovered what you’re second trial is.Before you interrupt me I wish to tell you what it is and then you can ask questions after.
I believe for your second trial you need to unlock all the unknown abilities of your sword. When you showed me the information on your weapon I noticed that there was some skills that were unknown and based on the other skills you managed to unlock we can assume there is a skill for each element.
Since you have practically no knowledge on magic outside of the basic of darkness, and have no knowledge on how to use a sword properly let alone the unique type of weapon you have I took the liberty of calling in a old friend to help you and teach you how to use your sword.

However,she said he will not teach you if are not worthy of it so you're going to need to prove yourself to her, any question.”
“Yes I have two questions, my first question is why couldn't one of the teachers already here teach me,d,,don't take it the wrong way though i'm just curious. And the next question is when will she arrive?”
“Both of those are simple to answer for you first question, this is a school that teacher’s magic not a warrior school. Also you need the correct style to use your sword and who better to teach you than someone who knows them all. and for your second question she is not coming to us you're going to her.”
Before i could even say a word I was teleported again.
‘he really needs to stop that, now not only can I not see I have no clue where I am. first things first if I can't see where i am at i'm going to need to use my other senses.First i'm sitting on a smooth hard floor its cold but its not stone,wood perhaps. Yea feels like wood. O I don't think I have life detect activated.’
When I activated my life detection I noticed only one life form which was pretty far away from me and appears to be looking down on me.I noticed I have the new M.P.S as i call it or the mana perception stone in my hand. headmaster said I had to feed it my own mana to activated it.
Suddenly my instincts kicked and and I rolled to the left. Right after I heard of wood breaking. I quickly got up and before I got into a proper stance my instincts kicked in and I jumped to the left.
I activated the new M.P.S and noticed 5 bulky shapes that moved slowly. they had what looks like swords in their hands and didn't exactly look human(there stone golems). I dont know why I did not sense them with my life detect but I know they are dangerous.
I notice 1 of them had its sword stuck into the floor and just now managed to get it unstuck. the other 4 slowly started to surround me.I drew my sword with the thought of speed trying activating the same ability as last time. I aimed the draw at the one directly in front of me and launched the attack.
A second after the sword left the sheath a large slash appeared on the golem’s chest and it got knocked back a 5 feet. But it was still alive if that’s what you want to call it, it was still moving ok im not even sure if you can call these thing’s living since I can’t sense them with my [life detect].
After I attacked the golem the one behind me started to attack. Although his movement’s are clunky I can tell they hold a lot of strength. I turned and held up my sword to block his downward swing but before it connected my instincts kicked in and I jumped back.
His sword smashed into the ground and just like the other one got stuck in the ground. I noticed they were not really putting any force behind the blow just letting gravity do the work for them.
Im kinda gratefully for these instinct’s, even though my sword look’s flimsy im positive it could take the blow without even chipping but my arm’s on the other hand not so much. If just the weight of the sword could damage the floor im pretty positive my arm’s wouldn’t be able to take it.
Remembering the fact that im surrounded I quickly got focused back on the battle. I slashed diagonally with my sword at the sword arm of the golem. I was aiming to incapacitate it since I wouldn’t be able to take it out in one swing I aimed to take it out of the battle. The air slash chopped of the arm and slightly damaged the leg behind it.
I was preparing another air slash when I was grabbed from behind. Two stoney arm’s game em a bear hug from the back sealing of my arm’s and lifting me off the ground. I was struggling to break free from his grasp but couldn’t.
One of the 2 remaining stone golem’s that were not doing anything started t approach me. It stopped directly in front of me and slowly raised up its sword preparing a downward slash. My heart was racing so fast I had no way out of this situation my arm’s were sealed and my attempts to kick the enemy away didnt do a thing. I didn't know any darkness spell’s that could help and you could forget about using lightning. As the sword came down turned my head looked away waiting for the strike to come.
after a few moments of silence I noticed I was still alive. I reactivated my M.P.S and noticed the sword was stopped right above my head. Totally confused at what was going on I instinctively started turning my head from left to right. I know this wouldn't really do anything since im always seeing things in a 360 degrees around me. I suddenly heard a loud voice from above me.
“you failed.disciple.”

know I was going to make this a long chapter but I couldnt resist leaving this cliff hanger. also sorry for all grammar errors I got to get back into the mojo of writing. AND I found the secret of the colored blue boxes.
also its hard getting back into the pattern of writing story’s daily for being gone from it for so long so it might take a bit before I get back into daily releases.
