《Different》Chapter 2 - Field Trip (1)

"Rock, Paper, Scissors!"
"Dammit!"
"Hehe, you're so bad at this Soro"
Both Akame and Soro clenched their hands once again. Akame looked at Soro with a smirk on her face.
"Heh, give up already, you've already lost eighteen times in a row"
"Like hell I will, I'm not giving up until I beat you Akame"
"Hmm...ok then have it your way"
Soro opened his eyes widely and looked down at Akame's left hand which was currently clenched, he was observing it's movements very sharply.
"Rock, Paper, Scissors!"
Yugo placed his book down and leaned over to see the results.
"A draw !?! that's the first one yet, you must be cheating Soro!"
Soro raised one of his eyebrows and looked at Yugo with a forced smile on his face, although you could tell he was annoyed.
"Dude...shut up"
Akame chuckled, she then looked at Soro with a smug look on her face.
"I'm so glad you finally learned how to play rock play scissors"
Soro's forced smile broke as he gritted his teeth towards Akame.
"SHUT UP! JEEZ..."
"PFF...HAHAHAHAHA"
Akame bursted out in laughter as she lowered her left hand.
"Ahhh...you're so funny Soro"
Soro crossed his arms and looked down with an annoyed expression like a child who was told he couldn't have what he wanted. Akame wiped the tears from her eyes from all the laughter.
"Alright, how about one more round and then we can play something else ?"
"Fine..."
"Rock, Paper, Scissors!"
Both Akame and Yugo's eyes widened and Soro's right after. They all had a surprised look on their face. Soro was the most surprised among the three off them, he could not believe what had happened.
"I WON!!! HECK YEAH!!!"
Akame didn't say anything, she simply grinned. Soro stood up from his seat and raised both his arms in the air.

"WOOOOOOOOOOO!"
All the other students in the bus immediately turned their gazes towards him. Soro lowered his hands shortly after and noticed all the faces staring at him, he was so embarrassed he didn't know how to react, he scratched the back of his head as he smiled at them.
"Haha....so what's up guys ?"
None of them responded, they just simply looked away as if nothing had happened and continued with what they were doing before. Akame bursted into laughter once again.
"BAHAHAHAHAHA, YOUR TOO GREAT SORO!!"
She kicked her legs around like a child as she continued to laugh, Soro simply sat back down with a gloom look on his face and stared out the window trying to erase his memory of what just happened. He noticed the sky was clear, all the clouds that he had seen 40 minutes ago before the journey had completely vanished.
[Hmm...that's strange, there all gone, has anyone else noticed it besides me ? should I ask Akame ?]
"Hey, Akame..."
"Hmm ? looking for another rematch ?"
"No not that. Have you noticed anything strange happen to the sky lately ?"
"Well now that you mention it, my dad told me he saw something fall out from the sky last night when we were having dinner"
"That's weird, did he tell you what it looked like ?"
"He said it was blue and glowing like some sort of star, something along those lines I think, Why do you ask ?"
"Just curious is all"
"Really ? It's not like you to care about this sort of thing, are you alright ?"
"Yeah i'm fine don't worry, anyways, what are we playing next ?"
The bus suddenly came to a stop. The blonde teacher got off her seat and walked over to the bus coach.

"Why did we stop ?"
The coach turned off the engine of the bus and then looked at her
"I can't drive any further ahead"
"What do you mean ?"
The coach pointed forwards. The road ahead had a large hole on it, almost as if a giant meteor had crashed down on it not too long ago. The teacher squinted her eyes at it.
"What on earth is that ?"
The students started mumbling among each other concerned as to why the bus stopped. The teacher turned around to face them and then cleared her throat.
"Ehem..."
They all looked up at her and became silent.
"It looks like we ran into a problem getting to the Kyanpu forest, but no worries, there's a place not too far back called the Henka forest where we can camp instead."
The students started mumbling again with confused looks on their faces. Akame stood up and spoke to the teacher directly.
"But Miss, why can't we go to the Kyanpu forest ?"
"Well you see....the roads blocked ?"
"Huh ?"
Akame slightly twisted her head in confusion. The teacher had no idea what else to say to her, she cleared her throat once again.
"Alright class, start leaving the bus and form a line on the pavement, do not attempt to walk further down the road"
The students obediently followed her command, however the mumbling started again once they left the bus and saw the hole on the road in front of the bus. Soro, Yugo and Akame stood together in the line. Yugo sighed as he gently pushed his glasses closer to his eyes.
"I don't understand why we are going to Henka forest, if the roadway to Kyanpu forest is blocked then we may is well return back to school and come back once the it's back to normal.
Soro had been staring at the hole on the roadway for a while, he was curious as to why there were no signs put up around it, could it have been that the road was only recently damaged and they were the first to notice it. Akame crossed her arms with a weary look on her face.
"Jeez this whole trip is ruined"
The teacher finally came out of the bus after discussing a phew things with the coach. She stood in front of all the students who where in line.
"Alright, everyone follow me I know a shortcut to the Henka forest"
The teacher got off the pavement and went onto a rocky pathway surrounded by trees. The students followed along, apart from Soro who was still looking at the hole.
["What could have possibly fallen from the sky to make such a big hole ?"]
Soro spotted a small blue flash coming from the hole, he started to walk closer towards it in curiosity, however he stopped when he heard Akame call for him soon after.
"Hey Soro! hurry up or your gonna get lost"
"Coming"
Soro turned away from the hole and ran onto the rocky pathway to catch up to the rest of his class

Magriculture
When Aurum Industries announced the first Full Immersion Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (FIVRMMORPG if you're hip) Limitless Online, most people saw it as an opportunity to live out their sword and sorcery fantasies. John, however, saw it as the opening of a new and as of yet uncrowded job market. One he was willing, and eager, to exploit. Determined to make money through virtual hard work and effort, John sets his sights not on the heights of magic or the perfection of the sword, but instead upon the tilling of the soil and the sowing of seeds as he explores the wide and wonderful world of magical agriculture all from the comfort of his own bed. Disclaimer: This is, at best, a very rough draft. I have already had to do one major rewrite and several minor rewrites of entire sections of the story, and it is a virtual certainty I will have to do re-writes again. Such changes may be as small as editing a few numbers (such as going back and changing how much mana an object holds) or it may force me to re-write entire chapters (this has happened once already, and I'm really hoping it doesn't happen again, but... life). Minor re-writes will probably never be posted here. Major rewrites probably will.Anyway, what this boils down to is: If you're looking for a fully cohesive story with few to no errors and publisher level editing, this is not the story for you. If your looking for a cohesive plot that's more than "Man farms, man farms, man farms well, man maybe makes money" you're probably also in the wrong place, but I will attempt to entertain you anyway.

8 201Musings of a Hypocrite
Mortals are weird. They insisted in unity, as well as individualism. More often than not, they're shocked at truth and honesty, but not at falsehood and deceit. They asked questions with multiple answers, and provided answers that begged other questions. They made things to break, they destroyed things to study, they researched things to recreate. Humans, Elves, Beastmen. All of them. Within these contradictions, a miracle might manifest. But this tended to work with a trial and error methodology. Most mortals never got the happy ending. This diary is my journey alongside a few students of mine. In simple terms - they learn, they grow, they fight. They'll journey through centuries of conflict, from the physical to the educational. They'll experience the cruelty and benelovence of all living-kind. They'll experience the consequences of their choices and the blessings of their rewards. They will grow to become useful to me, or die trying like all the others. As for you? The god reading our lives like a book, sitting in your chair without a care in the world? I will show you, the farce that is known as 'God'.
