《The Misadventures of a Young Dark Magician》Episode 20 [Season Finale] (Part 3)
Advertisement
No one was sure what happened with Troy. Where he went off, or if he’d ever return, seeking new vengeance or not. Regardless, hopefully, the people at the school can rebuild their lives in peace.
Benjamin himself, couldn’t believe what had happened in the school's first semester. Without his knowledge, it appeared the person who antagonized him (besides Sebastian) was stuck with him, not an enemy, but as a partner.
The Headmistress gave the students permission to use the ABC doors again, allowing Isabelle and Nicholas to head back to their human world before the place got blocked off for good. She’d let them know there’d be another way of transportation back to the monster world in record time.
After saying their goodbyes to everyone, Benjamin, Isabelle, Harry, Chi-Chi, and Nicholas headed back through the portal to enter the human realm once again.
Clause and Glenda got back on good terms with the Principal and Horace as they worked on getting the school back in proper order, good as new.
Sebastian trained back at home, before going to the Headmistress later, asking if it was all right to go to the human world. When she said yes, Sebastian used the portal and went back to the human world to visit friends and study the world more closely.
Bridget stayed back at her home to continue practicing her magic, with Midoricha supporting her.
Akapin and Aoguro returned to the Pilkon Kingdom to apologize to the Queen and Princess, they quickly forgave Aoguro and welcomed him back.
Lauren had to clean up Streterra and assist the supervisors in helping the students to make up for her misdeeds.
As for Benjamin and the others, they walked down a sidewalk in silence as they headed back to Nicholas and Isabelle’s houses, respectively, before making their way to their base of operations. After they dropped Nicholas off, the group continued along their paths in silence, watching the sunset behind them.

“So, Benny?” Isabelle broke the silence.
“Yeah, Isabelle?” Benjamin asked.
“Why did you save not only your world but also mine?” Isabelle asked.
“Why do you ask?” Benjamin answered with another question.
“Well, I didn’t think you were telling the truth. What was that all about?”
“Yeah, well, I meant what I said back there. I’m the prophesied dark magician, and I’m the one who will take over not just this puny world of yours, but also all worlds! I won't let anyone else take what’s mine, because if anyone will rule Earth, it’ll be me!” He lifted his wand in the air triumphantly, while striking another strange pose.
“Sure, keep telling yourself that.” She muttered, rolling her eyes.
“Say what? Are you saying you still don’t believe me?”
“Maybe, maybe not.”
Benjamin stopped walking for a moment and turned to Isabelle. His expression grew serious, much to her surprise.
“Look, this path from here on out won't be an easy one. Since we’re now partners and all, you’ll be sharing the quest to total domination alongside me, and I’ll take any chances, no matter how dangerous, to achieve my goal and dream. What about you?”
“Yeah, it’ll be an interesting experience. Even though it won’t be easy, let’s make the most of it and get along.” Isabelle said with a smile.
That hopefulness in her eyes left Benjamin a bit confused.
“Wait, you’re not hesitant? Your life will change; once our real assignments start, you might never get your normal life back, or be able to return home in a long while. Now would be the time to step away.”
“Are you kidding? No way, this is an excellent opportunity. I don’t think I’ll ever get another one like this. The experience will be worth it.”

“You mean it? Even though we’re opposites in almost every category imaginable, you’ll work with me. Are you sure—?”
“Yeah. Hey, maybe that could change.” Isabelle replied. She extended her arm out to Benjamin. “So, what do you say, partners?”
Benjamin looked at her hand for a moment with eyes widened. He then returned her smile with an even larger one, before reaching out and shaking her hand.
“Yeah, partners. But, remember, you work for me, ok?” He pointed at himself and reminded her.
“Yeah, I know.” The two separated and stared at one another. “Let’s make this world a better place, ok?” She chirped excitedly.
The sound of a record scratched inside Benjamin’s head.
Wait, what did she say?
“Um, this could be a problem,” Harry whispered.
“I don’t know; I think they can handle it just fine,” Chi-Chi replied.
Benjamin could only sigh. What a long journey this will be, but I'll still do my best! I’m always up for a challenge, even if it’s stuff like this.
“Yeah, same here!” Isabelle chimed in.
“What— wait, are you secretly an Esper or something? How’d you know what I was thinking?”
“Well, you were thinking out loud.”
Harry and Chi-Chi giggled, while Benjamin groaned in disbelief, but still kept his optimism in check.
“All right, let’s do this!”

A Thousand Ways to say "Home"
Not even the apocalypse can crush humankind's desire to walk among the stars. In what was once the American Pacific Northwest, a massive complex known as Hope's Enclave has been constructed, home of the Ifterra Project, humanity's latest attempt to reach the stars and make them their home. But all is not as it seems in the Enclave or in the Project, and threats wait outside - from the armies of John Seid's America Eterna in the east, to their far-off allies the Invictan Empire, to the mysterious Aliens who have taken up residence in the sky and will speak only to Ifterra Project. When fresh blood arrives to work on the project, something is set into motion that might either send humanity far into the universe, or plunge it into a new age of violence and fear.

Life on Torus Terminal is usually fast paced, but simple. A frontier Terminal has little room for easy living, but the great, circular station does boast shopping and culinary experiences from many Imperial races and cultures. Any star is, by its nature, extremely far from its neighbors. But laser highways, and the great shimmering sails of the light-rider spaceships make the trip into only about ten years. Still, the denizens of Torus Terminal eagerly await the day when the Anti-Euclidean Engine their station is built around finally comes online. Once that is done, they will have unfettered access to the entire Empire. Instantaneous travel and trade across hundreds of stars. Torus Terminal does boast one other oddity: a creature which calls itself Human. As he says, the last of his kind for now. He has made quite the life for himself on Torus Terminal, especially in the darker corners of the station. The elites of Torus Terminal praise his name, for once he took up arms, crime began to fall. What they did not realize was that was because he had claimed the seedy underbelly of Torus Terminal for himself and his own goals. The elites praise him as a paragon of law. The criminals fear him as a ruthlessly clever crime boss. Those closest to him, know him as the General. This story was originally posted on the Humanity Fuck Yeah subreddit, where it evolved from a simple play on a historical figure in a science fiction setting into a full blown space opera. I kind of took it as an opportunity to explore a setting I've had rolling around in my head for years. I also decided that it would be nice to have it in a place where I could more easily come back and edit it later, so I'm reposting it here. Here's a link to the original posting if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/e9cwpl/post_war_rules/ If my genre and tagging is subpar, let me know. I'm still new to Royal Road and I'm open to help. Feel free to comment and make suggestions, or discuss. I love comments, and so long as we keep things civil I also love criticism.
8 116Uzziye became a florist
This is the story of Uzziye Bakker, a woman that one day stopped fooling herself and changed her life; but retiring from her adventurer life to become a florist became the most dangerous thing she ever did. The first step she took was accompanied by near-death experiences, torture, enslavement, rape, kidnapping, and imprisonment. However, she’s a strong woman that transforms those painful memories into lessons and continues facing injustice with a wider and wiser perception. So no matter how many times the world tries to break her, and her loved ones, even if the future is grim, nothing will stop her from fulfilling her dreams. Disclaimer. This work is fictional, any resemblance with reality is a mere coincidence.

8 71His Trophy | Jerome Valeska
"Oh and Jim, Jim Gordon?" Jerome peered into the camera as if to yell out to an audience: "I have Rory here," he turned the camera towards Jim's daughter and revealed to the audience a girl that had been beaten and tormented, she was gaged and her eyes didn't look at the camera but above the lens; at Jerome who was holding the camera."Say hi to Daddy, doll face," he jeered from behind the camera. She looked down the lens and shook her head as if to tell Jim not to try. The camera went back to Jerome."She's a beauty isn't she, Jimbo," Jerome smirked into the camera, his laughter becoming harsh and wild: "and she's all mine, you try anything, and I mean anything, I kill her. She's my prisoner, my reward, and you're not taking her away from me Jimmy boy, on no, not this time" his words were spoken through waves of laughter.***Rory Gordan is the stepdaughter of Jim Gordon. Her mother moved a lot so Rory was born in Gotham City but raised in England and from the age of 10 she had been bouncing from one country to another with her mother. However, when she turned 17 she had grown tired of the constant change of moving and decided to move to America. It was when she was visiting her long term boyfriend when her life got flipped upside down, not only did she meet one of the craziest boys on the planet, but she discovered that she had a gift that would curse her forever. This story is a collection of scenes rather than a flowing plot, so its chronological but it skips scenes and jumps back and forth between different perspectives. The story is under editing, so it'll get more cohesive over time.••• I do not own any characters or plot lines from the tv show. However, all original characters like Rory do belong to me.Total Word Count [33,674]
