09/29/1310 6:16 PM -Institute's bedroom (Horald's room)
"Ahhh how boring this is," said Horald lying on his back on his bed.
[This school life has only been 2 weeks but it's so ... meaningless ... and it's not exciting either, well I guess it's partly my fault.]
[I think that I shouldn't have intimidated on the first day those who teased me about being new, now I even miss being teased.]
[Friends ...? I certainly have gotten along well with some by appearances, but it is a nuisance ... talking nonsense with them, I suppose it is because in my situation those things are not important I don't know.]
[Looking for a girlfriend or fiancé like any noble that his parents do not look for a partner?, I do not have much interest ..., and less when knowing that Marien forgot me for another ..., do not think about it, do not think about it].
[Ahh Marien ..., my feelings towards you ..., there is not, I suppose that something of emptiness, I suppose that what I felt was only a slight yearning].
[Establish relationships with nobles? ..., I pass, I'm not interested in the title.]
[Study? I already know a lot, maybe I fail in some subjects but it is the least of it and it is boring.]
[I guess if nothing happens in 3 months or so, I'll go on a trip.]
10/11/1310 12:05 PM -Institute hallways (3rd floor) (lunchtime)
[What's going on?].
Horald thought when he saw a crowd in the hall in which he was walking and then, he entered it to see what happened, to find a show taken from a novel.
The scene was that a highborn noblewoman was bullying one of the few commoners who entered the school for his high magical talents when an authoritative voice came out of the crowd
"What's going on here?"
And along with the voice, a beautiful young woman from the beastly tribe of wheat complexion, very dark brown fur, and green eyes appeared on the scene.
[Ohh it looks like a heroine appeared, but what tribe will it be from?]
Corresponding their thoughts the murmurs said
"Oh wow the student vice-president, Natasha Fulserking of the Dukes Fulserking"
"Danm this is going to get good, she is known for being strict with justice and discipline"
"The Black Ice Knight is in action."
"Knight? Isn't she queen?"
"You don't know, she is in the order of the calm knights"
"Hear what you say her tribe was?"
"You are not from here, she is from the rare and mystical and brutal race of the Buffsilfedos."

[Well, I think this covers the majority...] Horald thought before the murmurs and then focused to listen better to the show which, in short, ended with the scolded noble and the commoner saved.
10/13/1310 12:32 PM -Institute garden (in some hidden planter) (lunchtime)
[Ahhh what comfort]
Horald thought while he was dozing under a secluded and incognito tree, but nevertheless this comfort did not last long.
"Hey, wake up, the break is over!"
Horald opened her eyes to find that the owner of the voice was Vice-President Natasha and think.
[What a bummer...]
"You're Natasha aren't you? How's it going?" Said Horald jokingly.
"Yes I am, now go to class that the recess is over," Natasha replied dryly.
[Who would say that I would run into her days after having seen her ..., she is certainly very strict and cold ..., how would she look with another face?, umm I know what I will do to entertain myself] Horald reasoned while ignoring what Natasha said and then, he said suddenly and with some seriousness while looking firmly into her eyes after standing.
"Natasha, listen, this is serious."
Hearing those words, Natasha paid attention to him.
"Natasha Fulserking, I know we don't sew and that our positions differ from each other and maybe our thoughts don't agree, but I've seen your attitude and justice what caused a burning in me, which is burning inside me, that I, Horald Pristen, humbly proposing that ... be my girlfriend please."
But contrary to his predictions, she blushed slightly shocking and then answered him simply.
"Okay, I agree."
"Wait what? do you accept?" Asked Horald shocked
"Yes I accept, or ... was what you said lies?" Natasha seriously asked.
[But what is wrong with this? Did your brain melt? Ahh well anyway, I'm not going to go back because of this, besides this could be interesting.]
"Of course it is not a lie, only in reality, I did not have much hope, so your answer shocked me happily."
"All right, now ..., go to class because it's too late."
10/24/1310 3:26 PM - On the city streets
In the middle of the afternoon in a happy city, Horald was walking through some lonely streets thinking.
[Ahh how relaxing and satisfying it is to destroy an evil nobleman from time to time, umm I hope those slaves are treated well by soldiers.]
[What would Natasha think about this? Oh, fence, it seems that I have grown attached to her, although ... I don't know why, since all these days we have done almost nothing, nothing, they do not call her a black ice knight for nothing, it's cold and hardly speaks. ]

[Well, at least her presence encourages my day, that's something.]
[Well I think it's about time to face them, umm what to do.]
I end up thinking of a dark and abandoned alley when dangerous hooded people ambushed him on both sides.
"until you guys came out, I spent about an hour hanging around, for you to come out."
None of the people responded but approached cautiously.
[Now what will I do with them, do I kill them? Or do I torture them? Um, decisions, it's been a while since I had the pleasure of choosing, but what to choose ...]
But while he decided, the assassins were constantly approaching, but the situation changed when Natasha herself fell with one of the roofs in her knight armor.
"Ahh hi, Natasha,¿what are you saying? What are you doing around here?" Asked Horald somewhat surprised.
[Umm so the strong person that was approaching was her, as you may have guessed my location, I hope it's not my smell ...]
"Shut up and don't get caught."
"Well, good luck."
After the brief conversation ended, she began to fight fiercely with the assassins while protecting the 'helpless' Horald who was thinking.
[Ohh it's good, it seems that there is no need to help her, she is rightly in that order ..., umm that strange, usually in the orders of knight, the members have a strict schedule, as she will do to be so free ]
And between thoughts and beatings, the murderers were subdued and marred, by Natasha who still contested addressed Horald
"Explain yourself".
"Umm, I was walking and they surprised me."
"Do not lie to me."
"Well the truth is that I was waiting for them."
"Are you a crazy or an idiot?"
"Don't look at me like that, I consider myself strong"
"Afff, tell me, do you know why they were looking for you?"
"Yeah, I'm almost sure my parents sent them"
It was then that Natasha was surprised as a strange thing and said worried.
"Your parents? Are you sure? Do you have proof?"
"Well, evidence, no, but I did eavesdrop."
"That doesn't work ... how can parents send their son to be killed ..."
"'Are you worried about me?"
"Of course, you are my boyfriend, an important person to me."
When he said that, Horald's heart filled with warmth.
[She ... hehehe, now, don't get sentimental, but]
"Thank you Natasha, your concern makes me love you more and more."
"Uju," she said slightly sorry, then continued, "with that said, don't worry, I'll help you with your parents."
"Thank you, but really, I still can't decide what to do with them."
"Like, but they tried to kill themselves if it's as you say."
"I know, I know, what happens is that they are my parents and also, before returning a friend told me to try to save the relationship, although with these parents it is difficult for me."
"idiot."
"Probably, look there is something I want to ask you, why did you agree to be my girlfriend, I know that you are smart and reasonable, a confession from someone unknown, without status or fortune, I doubt that anyone would have accepted."
"You see, the truth when you confessed to me, I felt that you were a good and brave person who did not care about things like status and others, many people cannot even speak to me or if they do not treat me with care and falsehood, you know, but I also know that your clothing was a lie."
"But I"
"It was very obvious, do not deny it, anyway, I decided to accept and see what happened, and it seems that until now I have not been wrong, I am curious what will happen in the future, and you tell me why your confession ?.
"Well, I suppose I can't deny it, the truth is that, before that, you only seemed like a good person, fair, attractive and interesting, but with an always strict face, so when you caught me, I came up with that lie to see a lovely change on your face,and why I continued with this, is not to give up on my lie, but you know I don't regret that every day is nice, don't you think?"
"Yes...,"
"Listen"
"Yes?"
"You want to go for a walk with me on a date.?"
then she blushing replied.
"Okay, but first you have to treat them, come help me."
"Okay, do you send, by the way, how did you find me?"
"Easy, your smell."
And with that said they both began to get closer and their lie is now an adorable and innocent way to treat each other.

Delicate as Glass
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Nuri, an [Assistant Glassworker], only has a single Skill. It’s really not fair. He’s worked in the hot shop his entire life, following in his father’s footsteps after his parents passed away, but he’s stuck. Despite possessing above-average talent as an artisan, he still hasn’t shed his [Assistant] status, gained a second Skill, or even leveled enough to reach the first Threshold. Besides, he’s bored; most days he daydreams of adventure and becoming a hero, or pines for the renown that’s sure to be his if he evolves his Class into a [Master Glass Smith], but nothing ever changes—until suddenly, fate strikes, and nothing is ever the same again. These days, Nuri sees more magic, prestige, and adventure than he can handle as he gets swept up in realm-shaking conspiracies and desperate fights for his life. Maybe a boring life wasn’t so bad after all. Disclaimers: 1) Names were mostly chosen through random generators and aren’t necessarily final. If they seem derivative or boring, blame RNG. 2) Skills, Classes, levels, and the entire system is currently a work in progress; please be kind if it’s not very well fleshed out yet. 3) This is the first full-length novel I've set out to write without a single plot point ready. I had nothing in mind other than a recent visit to a hot shop. Molten glass is pretty awesome. 4) Related, I know much less about glass than I’d like. I did some research, but mistakes are bound to happen. If you have a correction, thanks! Please be polite about it. 5) The prose is my experimental attempt at first-person, present tense. I realize it may not be everyone’s preference, but I hope you’ll give it a try anyway!
