《MaoTensei!》A battle. [I]
Advertisement
(Months without Yuuno : 6)
"I would like to thank everyone who took their time to come today." Mrs.Pologroin announced in front of the class. "I hope everyone present could make themselves comfortable!"
Today, the 'everyone' did not just include the students. It also included the row of people behind us. Attendants, relatives, and parents. And in my case, Rune.
It was regrettable but he was the only member of the family available for today's open day.
Mom and Dad were out for the military check for the upcoming brigade and Hime-nee was in Korea to meet Risa's parents. The only other decent option I had left was Alez, but he was participating he was attending the throne room since the Sadou couple were out.
Hence, I got left with Rune.
Evidently, he wasn't the happiest about this situation either. I turned around to catch him giggling on his phone completely uninterested in the proceedings of the class.
'Who in their right mind thought that sending 18-year-olds on an open day would have been a good idea?' I would have much rather had no one come than him.
Well, it would be more accurate to say that I would have much rather taken the day off than attend the sort of silly event Pologroin planned for today's meet. I can only imagine what was going on in that mind of h-
"For today's class, we'll have a guardian-student bout!" And here we go with her first absurd remarks.
Needless to say, a round of murmurs started circulating the room.
"As in a fight?" One of the maids towards the back asked. To put it simply, while there were some relatives mixed in the group, most of everybody here were maids and butlers. And it wasn't ethical for maids and butlers to fight off against their masters.
Hell! It was not ethical for any adult to fight against a 6-year-old. Not every 6-year-old is as powerful as Yuu-chan. She was just an anomaly!
"Not exactly…" Pologroin grinned in response to the question. "What you'll be competing on is… THIS!" She pulled down the screen and written there in bold text were two words- Rap Battle.

"Yo Yo. Let's go. Yo!" Pologroin howled.
'Someone, please take this boomer out of the room.'
I turned around to see who the first guardian to retaliate would be. Someone who would say in the most stern of tones- 'Sorry, but this seems inappropriate.' But no one spoke up. Rather everyone had a rather sinister grin on their face.
The attendants especially. It was as if they finally found the golden opportunity to diss their employers on their face. Of course, the employers themselves were kids so they could do so without any repercussions.
This was basically the perfect opportunity for them to curb their frustrations.
"Without any further ado, let's get this party started!" That was the first time I heard someone use 'without any further ado' and 'let's get this party started.' In all honesty, my ears were about to fall off listening to this b.s. at this rate.
When her intro ended. The desks that we were sitting on started to mechanically move towards one side and the centre of the lavish hall got cleared up for usage.
The carpet that covered the floor rolled up to reveal a circular mosaic of some classical looking figures. We got off and surrounded the circle as Pologroin stood at the centre.
"Let's rap baby!" She picked out a mic from her pocket and threw it straight towards a kid right behind me. "Johnny and his guardian you're up first!"
"If you insist." The butler grabbed the mic enthusiastically.
She swung her hand down and the surround speakers around the classroom dropped the beat.
The chandelier turned to a focusing theatre light above. One that focused directly on the butler. The curtains cut off all the light and all that drew attention was the figure of a Butler who slowly walked into the mosaic circle.
The groove was 4/4.
"Eyy eyy eyy eyy." He tried to feel the tempo out.
"There's a little tiny pain in the bottom of my a**,
d*ck's name's Johnny and his Dad's lass.
Now I know that I might be a little hot…
But the reason your Mom sleeps with me is cuz she's a thot..

Hot hot.
It's last time,
She would always swear,
'It's for revenge',
Because her husband dared.
To mess around, with a chick from his ranch,
But I bet she enjoys it, our little dance."
The words somehow censored themselves. NO! That's not the problem! How was this little rap battle fine in the first place?! I thought they would stop right after the first time he said ass.
Nonetheless, the chandelier focused on the other party. A lone fat boy. How would he ever counter that?
"Listen here, Marcus, you might be my butler,
But I hope you know that's just a glorified slave,
This might go off the record you should still try to behave.
As far as my mother's game…
At least she took responsibility,
And didn't leave me in a drain.
Like your's did,
On that one tragic day,
When she mistook a child for trash,
Sorry, can't relate." Switch.
Ouch.
"Ouch ouch, that might have left a scar,
Listen here you kid, your skin's a little dark.
Which is weird, cuz both your parents are white.
White as the moon, you can only doubt that night.
You were born… 9 months later,
With the blood of a prostitute, attendant or a waiter."
"Oh damn damn, how are you so calm,
Is it because you found a target to hit your qualm.
My mother, isn't my favourite girl in this land.
So get your mind of her… and look after your sister instead.
For a while now, I've only been on playdates with her,
It's only a matter of time before I rendezvous with her.
Of course, with marriage in mind, cuz unlike my daddy,
I have my own pride.
Naturally, you can't retaliate,
Mr.Glorified slave your hands are tied.
Watch your sister and she becomes mine,
Brother-in-law you should get your suit ready already."
Wait, did the little dude just propose in the middle of a rap battle.
"What did you say you litt-" Marcus got heated.
"AAANND WE'RE DONE!!" Mrs. Pologroin stepped in and the beat stopped. A round of applause around the room and hooting a lot.
{a/n: I should stop now. Also, the father was the one who instigated the cheating.}
"That was something…" Mrs. Pologroin said while taking the centre of the room. "But it was a valient, effort. Let's move on!"
Wait we're still continuing? Even after that?
No one even seemed to be questioning this!
Rune was too busy playing his game.
The rest of the crowd was busy hyping the rest of the event up. This place was batshit crazy.
In the background, Marcus the butler was wiping the sweat off Johnny's face. What is said in the ring stays in the ring I suppose.
"Next it's your turn Emeria!" She handed her mic to a silver-haired girl. From the other side, her black haired butler came in.
The beat dropped yet again.
This time the quiet, and composed looking girl was the one to go first.
"Oof. Oof. Oof. Oof.
Emeria-tan, Emeria-tan,
Is that all you say?
Am I god?
Am I that pretty?
Can't you just like Rum instead?
I don't like you,
And your ugly stupid head.
The way you cry out of nowhere,
And pretend to be dead.
It's no fun.
You're slow, you're old,
Your eyes belong to a toad.
A loser, a wimp,
And worst of all a simp.
UUUGHH!"
She really got into it, huh? That last 'ugh' had so much exasperation behind it I could feel it in my chest.
The spotlight switched to the other party.
"I love you, Emeria-tan."
"For f*ck's sake!!!"
Emeria threw the mic on the floor before walking off. Clearly, she didn't want none of that shit. Wait, why am I starting to sound coloured? I'm a white boy.
Anyhow that was how the rap battles continued. It was rough. Some were brutal, some were tame. Some were good, some were lame. I ended up enjoying this a lot more than I'd expected.
I also realised that just because our house was stably happy, it didn't mean that every other house was like that. There was a lot of entertaining drama going around the city.

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
