《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”

Jeremy Finds A Dragon
Jeremy, a teenage boy with a freakish talent for the clarinet, is less than thrilled when his mom announces that they’re up and moving to a tiny village on a tiny Scottish island the summer before his senior year of high school. But Dunsegall turns out to be an okay sort of place, if you like cliffs, sheep, and small-batch ice cream made by a family obsessed with Ray Charles. Two teenage locals — Colin and Aggie — quickly pull Jeremy under their wing and decide to give him a summer he’ll never forget. Everything is mostly fine until one day, in the depths of the woods, they stumble across a two hundred year-old monk and a living, breathing — or, rather, snoring — dragon who need their help. Together, Jer, Col, and Aggie delve into the hidden history of the island, getting up to their elbows in heresy, Highland Games, and, somehow, romance.

They Are Our Smols
You’ve read They Are Smol. You’ve enjoyed They Are Smol (if you haven’t, well, prepare to not enjoy this one either). But this is smols like you’ve not seen them before. This is extreme smolness with a lemon twist: smols fucked up big time in this one, and Earth, well… Earth is empty of smols. At least the ayys hope so, because it’s fallout time back there. The ones that got away — and let’s face it, it was all of them that were left — had no place to go. Homeless, smol and needing protectings, they were taken in. For the lucky ayys out there, they’re our smols. This is a not-so-serious slice of life alternate universe where the entire population of Earth, what was left after the dead man’s switch was flipped and the nukes successfully irradiated the planet, were evacuated en masse and then taken in by the galactic civilization at large. I’ll probably write a few more in this silly, comfy alternate timeline to expand on what’s different, but don’t take it too seriously, okay? I do not take credit for the original setting, this story is set in an alternate version of the 'They are Smol' universe, written by the one, the only u/tinyprancinghorse.TPH takes many forms and is known by many names. He is like Nyarlathotep, only smaller and cuter and more prancey. TPH also has a Website and a Patreon.
