《Sinister》CH9: Preparation
Advertisement
It’s been a week since I’ve come to this academy. I haven’t attended any classes or talked to anyone expect Frantelle and my house mates. In the last week I have been teaching Frantelle basic control over pure mana and frankly, he’s gotten no where
My house mates, other students and teacher were all told by the headmaster that I will not be attending any classes, unless told so otherwise. My house mates asked me for the reason, I simply told them that the headmaster is training me personally. Tho it’s the other way around
As for Frantelle’s training, well he sucks. He hasn’t improved a single bit within the last week. Tho I only train him an hour or two during the day because he has to work. When he is busy working, I go to the school roof and look (spy) at the noble’s school. My reason for doing so is simple, Seira.
After a month Frantelle can move 2% of pure mana throughout his body to his index finger. It’s hard to manipulate pure mana and I am purposely withholding information from him. So only teaching him very basics
Me: “So Mr.Frantelle, I have kept my end of the bargain and I hope that you will keep yours”
Frantelle: “Of course and thank you very much”
Me: “So I will be returning to my normal classes from tomorrow?”
Frantelle: “Actually about that”
God damn it, now what is it
Me: “What is it?”
Frantelle: “Remember about the Royal Narth School Competitions I talked about when you first arrived here”
Me: “Yea, what about it”
Frantelle: “Well you see, there are three stages of this contest. First is between the two schools in each Kingdom. Second
stage is between kingdoms. And the last stage is between continents”

Me: “And you want me to fight?”
Frantelle: “Yes that is correct”
Me: “And why would I do that”
Asmodeus: ‘I think you should fight boya’
Me: ‘Why’
Asmodeus: ‘Make a grand appearance in front of the entire world and impress Seira while you’re at it. Killing two birds with one stone. Wouldn’t you agree boya’
That right, if Seira sees how strong I am, then she will definitely fall for me
Me: “How does the competition work exactly?”
Frantelle: “Well we would hold a small competition of our own to pick the top 5 students who will fight against the
nobles, the fight with the nobles will be one on one and the winners of those individual fights will go to the second stage. Form the second stage and onwards, it will be group battles, so basically five on five, until one group is left standing and so forth. The details of the second and third stage will be explained later
So are you agreeing to this?”
Me: “Well let me think….ok I’m in but I have a condition of my own”
Frantelle: “And that is?”
Me: “I want to fight the strongest student from the noble’s academy”
With an evil grin he says
Frantelle: “Of course”

Seira POV
As long as I can understand, I was surrounded by people, bad people, people who prey on the weak and poor and I was born in a house full of it. My name is Seira to be exact princess Seira daughter of the king of Dorama and sister of prince Rubix the next in line to take the throne. When I was little they would teach to walk on the weak and the poor, but there were few who thought me otherwise
When I turned 6 last year I was admitted to the ‘Royal Noble Academy’ with my older brother Rubix. At the beginning of the school year, I arrived a day early to have a little discussion with the headmaster. When the wagon neared the academy, I saw two noble boys, Jinta and Shinji that were picking on a student from the commoners academy

I saw that the brothers were about to attack the other boy but, he instantly defeated the two. I immediately left the wagon and went to where the three of them were. When I got close enough, Jinta and Shinji noticed me while the other boy seemed lost in deep thought. I told off the brothers to not do anything like that again in the future and then I turned to the other boy and spoke
Seira: “Excuse me”
I said to the boy, but there was no response
Seira: “Excuse me”
I said again, hoping to break him free from his thoughts
???: “*clears throat*Yes, umm sorry”
He finally replied. Now I must introduce myself and apologize to him for the trouble these two have caused
Seira: “My name is Seira Enno Lily, and I would like to apologize on behalf of these two”
???: “I-i-i-it’s q-q-quiet a-a-alright”
He stuttered with his response. I simply smile and say
Seira: “Thank you”
With that, I turn and leave into the academy, followed by Jinta and Shinji. When we enter the building, Jinta spoke
Jinta: “My lady, there was no need for you to apologize to a mere commoner”
Seira: “Apologizing does not make someone lesser then others”
After talking with the brothers and finishing the matter with the headmaster. The normal daily life continued until the competition started and I saw that boy again
In preparation for the contest against the ‘Royal Commoner Academy’, the top 5 from our academy were chosen. They were
Jinta Ide Ochi, high-delta with fire, earth and dark attributes
Shinji Ide Ochi, mid-delta with water and lighting attributes
Dettol Xperia, mid-delta with earth and water attribute
Rubix Enno Lily, low-gamma with light, water and wind attributes
And lastly was me
Seira Enno Lily, high-delta with light and dark attributes
It was evening of the competition day. Four matches were already done, including mine. All the matches were won by our academy students and the last match was about to begin. My brother was already on the field, waiting for his opponent. He had an arrogant look on his face, telling the whole crowd that he has already won
Jinta: “Well, this is to be expected”
Shinji: “Indeed brother. We nobles are much better than commoner scum”
Jinta: “And of course the Prince is going to win”
Dettol: “Why make the prince fight in the first place. His title of price should already state that he is the strongest”
The three idiots were sitting next to me and spouting nonsense about their victories and how my brother is going to win with ease. They even started to make bets on how long his opponent will last. Just then the announcer does the introduction for brother and his opponent
Announcer: “Ladies and Gentleman, now for the final match of the first stage of the ‘Royal Narth School Competition’ representing the ‘Royal Noble Academy’ Prince Rubix Enno Lily and his opponent from the ‘Royal Commoner Academy’ Lanza Del Relampago”

In a land where the strong rule, the weak serve, and bloodshed is a way of life, peace is a luxury few can afford. Author's note: Expect a chapter every tues/thurs/sun, unless I start writing faster. The story is eastern themed, but not Xianxia, no chasing immortality, MC is not OP. Less action, more character and world driven is my aim. Mature language and themes, but no raunchy sex. It's my first story, constructive criticism would be appreciated. Cast List Military Rankings Fanart Map Album Post Chapter pictures Discord Channel

MARY: The Dreadful
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] "You have to survive, Adam. You have to win." This is not a story starring Mary, because Mary is already dead. She bled out on her front doorstep following a sudden three-day absence. Seven years have passed, with her little brother—Adam—now standing at eighteen years of age. Following his sister's death, he lived the life of a delinquent, wandering the grimy streets of the city of Steeldale. All it amounted to was years of street fighting experience, no proper home and an uncertain future at a second-rate university. Unbeknowst to him, the day before university, he will be thrust from Steeldale into a brand new world. It is a world where a cherry red sky gazes down upon a fragmented continent, on which civilisations from other worlds have been dumped like refuse. The souls of man leak from their fingertips, coalescencing into superhuman powers and horrible fleshy monstrosities. Tribes of refugees clash against each other, attempting to carve out a place in this unrefined space. With no choice, Adam must traverse this dangerous new world, with Mary's shadow following him every step of the way. This is my entry to the April 2021 Writathon. Chapters will be posted as I write them.

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe
“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic portal fantasy story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.
