《The Four Wheel Saga》08 Crows Come to Roost 5
Advertisement
There was more applause from the audience and whistles and hurrahs from the children. The trio stood and bowed to the crowd. They were popular as THE BULWARK TRIO for their exploits as a team.
Senju: "I am very confident that they will bring laurels to our kin. I will select the remaining nominations from aspirants in due time. I must repeat, however, that kin-subjects fifteen and above of age may take part in the Legacy Trials."
"We have given radically short notice. It would be natural for those under seventeen to be uncertain about their abilities. Hence, two gifted preceptors from the Daigaku have been deputed to every kin to train the fifteen- and sixteen-year-olds. They will help hone the youngsters' abilities before the trials begin. The preceptors will also overlook the registration and training of all aspirants, including those seventeen and above. Therefore, without further ado, I invite to our midst-"
"Keiji Sensei. And- Yuuki Sensei."
The crowd awarded a gentle ovation as two men descended from the pavilion. Keiji was twenty-six years old, five feet ten, slender and incredibly good looking, with long flowing chestnut hair. Yuuki was six feet tall, twenty-three, sporting long silver hair and a robust build.
It was common knowledge that they did not belong to any kin. Hence, no kin epithet was appended to their names.
The Daigaku hired foreigners consistently to train those who passed the Legacy Trials and fill its research wings. Kin-members who entered the Daigaku as preceptors had to give up kinship during their tenure. They had to don the liturgical white and wear the Daigaku crest. The purpose of the sacrifice was to prevent favoritism among kin members during and after trials.
The Daigaku Dean hired the preceptors on the advisory of the Hyougi, the elder members of the Village High Council. However, it had become a tradition that foreigner preceptors eventually married into kin families after their tenure. They settled in Karasuma as one of the villagers.

Keiji and Yuuki were still bachelors; the gasps and sniffles of the girls and unmarried women in the crowd bore testimony to that. Both preceptors had dressed in white robes with the Daigaku crest, an elaborate golden snowflake embroidered on the front.
Keiji: "I offer gratitude to the Overlord for his kind and encouraging words. As preceptors of Daigaku, we train the warriors who qualify in the Legacy Trials. However, we have made a special exception this time. The priority of the Daigaku is to ascertain the quality of entrants in the trials."
"The Hyougi will be the judges in the contest, and we will host distinguished guests from across the continent. Failure in the Legacy Trials does not bring shame. In fact, foreign employers often pick failure participants to monetize their specific abilities. Therefore, it is integral that we tailor the aspirants from every kin to meet the Daigaku standards. We must protect the legacy of Karasuma."
One of the teenagers in the pavilion spoke up out of turn.
Akako: "Forgive me, Keiji Sensei. We might be young, but we have trained rigorously every day since we were six. Perhaps other kin feel vulnerable enough to seek outside help and guidance. However, the Mikashita are ready for all odds."
An awkward silence fell on the pavilion.
Keiji grinned boyishly, much to the fancy of the ladies. He exchanged a glance with Yuuki, and they nodded at each other. Together, they turned towards the Overlord and his wife. Senju and Mitsu understood their intention and beckoned their assent. Following this, Yuuki took the baton.
Yuuki: "I am sure the little lady is a fine warrior. And I would be glad to stand corrected. Let us try something fun—a chance to prove your abilities as warriors. All those who are eligible for the trials and wish to participate kindly step forward. We will have a demonstration."

8 225Titan's Throne
30 year old Bastian Smith died and reincarnated in a different body in a world different from Earth. The body he was in was that of a 12 year old abandoned boy of noble birth. Bastian was at a loss. This new body also had a dragon looking tattoo on his chest. When he touched it something strange occurred. A powerful voice resounded in his mind: “To the owner of the Titan’s Mark be warned. You shall bear great power but you also bear a curse. Anyone who bears this mark is a child of I, the Great Ambevilius. Emperor of all that is under the heavens. If slay or subdue 1000 mark bearers, you shall become a successor of mine. This is not a destiny you can escape, so fight in the name of my glory!” At this moment the memories belonging to this body merged with his own.

8 187Adventures on Patriam: Wolves and Men
Alyx never thought he’d find himself in his current situation. Surrounded by a forest of unique but seemingly familiar trees, the world he’d been transported to was much different from the one he’d come from. It had seemed like such a normal day when he’d passed away, nothing could have foretold that he would end up bleeding out with a stake through his heart. But here he was in a brand new world. A quick conversation with something akin to a god would lead him on a path that would see him etch his name into the history books of this strange world. Ahead of him laid a realm totally unfamiliar, containing magic, intrigue, politics and racial divide. A world in which struggle and loss were not strange abstract ideas but rather, everyday experiences that people had to deal with. Struggling to maintain a grip on his own humanity, Alyx must set off on a journey through this new world on a quest to change it in a meaningful way while struggling to adapt to its bizarre rules. Placed into a new body, Alyx must somehow bridge the gap between the emotional predispositions of his new form and the human he used to be. During his journey, he will come face to face with both enemies and friends alike. Friendships will be made and tested, sacrifices will be made, and the line between good and evil will be blurred. In his new life, Alyx will find himself torn between the many paths he could follow, because in order to break the cycle in Patriam… You need not change the world for the better.
8 192The Earth, Forgotten
Isaack was initially a freight-ship pilot, and he had been trapped on Earth because when he was traveling through the Fallen Dead Zone - that being the “dead zone” that is a specific section of the Milkyway that includes the solar system known as Sol (although that name has been lost in time) - his freight-ship malfunctioned, and eventually he ended up stranded on Earth. His ship had landed upon a white sand beach neighbouring the ocean. If one were to travel upon the beach, traveling away from the direction of the sea, they will soon find themselves in a dense forest, where life of all kinds prospered and flourished.
8 122Nova: Omega
Nova: Omega is the story of Hitori Seishin, a mercenary on the planet of Esper. He leads Omega team in the Nova Mercenary Academy, and is the son of the legendary warrior Maia Seishin, now deceased. He is in the final days of his education at the elite Academy, where at the last minute he’s assigned a new teammate, Elvira. She is a total novice, but her unique abilities make her a promising addition to his team. We join the pair on their journey, Hitori, fighting to prove he belongs amongst the ranks of warriors indisputably his better, and Elvira, struggling to adapt to a world where the trophy for second place is a tombstone. Meanwhile, ancient and powerful forces clash in the shadows, racing across the globe to secure powerful artifacts capable of upending the foundations of the world. New chapters released every MWF. Sorry for the random tiny chapters. I structured and uploaded this as a series of scenes, some of which just didn't need to be very long. I could probably attach the "sub-scenes" to previous chapters, but that'd only be covering it up, so I'm not sure its worth it. Anyway if you find them annoying, let me know, and I'll put some more thought into it. I did, at least, make a point of always posting at least a thousand words on any given day (after I noticed the problem), which hopefully mitigates the problem.
