《Devour》Chapter 6: Twin Soul Swords
Advertisement
Back to school in class 1-1
"It seems like everyone has their Soul weapon!" Ms. Remy is glad to see this since last year only ten students have their soul weapons, making her the most strict teacher in the whole school. "Does anyone wants to volunteer to show how your soul weapon works?" Ms. Remy suddenly ask the class as she looks at her students
Jio raises his hand, thanks to Mickey using the right amount of magic to make static electricity and place it to Jio's elbow; this results in Jio raising his hand volunteering for the class.
Mickey whispers, laughing to Jio, "Code NAVY bro, Never Again Volunteer Yourself. Hahaha," Ms. Remy saw everything but didn't care and told everyone in the class to be at the field in five minutes.
In the field, Ms. Remy takes her twin swords out, and the temperature suddenly rises, and her twin swords start to blaze like crazy "Today, I'll show you the difference between a normal grade and a soul-grade."
Ms. Remy already prepared two dummies in advance and explained that the left dummy wore regular-grade armor while the right side wore soul-grade armor.
Ms. Remy charges the left dummy and easily cuts it into pieces in two seconds. She stood up and said, "Now look at the one on the right, the soul-grade armor with water element or water magic."
Jio notices that the energy flowing around the twin swords intensifies and wonders how much power Ms. Remy is holding back.
She charges to the second dummy, but her blades turn back to the normal-looking sword because of the water magic canceling the fire properties of the twin swords. She only used a small amount of power to show how it works, and using full force would turn it to ashes and give her students 2nd to 3rd-degree burns.

"Jio, I know you volunteer, but I might break your soul weapon. I'd replace it if I did break it... Are you still willing to try your weapon?" Ms. Remy announces and asks Jio before they spar.
"Yes, and I know I can handle half the power of your twin soul swords since you only show a bit of it earlier if I'm not mistaken," Jio let out, which caught Ms. Remy surprised by his keen eyesight.
Yesterday Jio finally had time to meditate, so he took one Dragon Pear in his ring and ate it. He knows that this priceless fruit would help him greatly after consuming it. He feels the strange strong energy flow from his stomach to his eyes right after he finishes a whole pear.
When he opened his eyes, smoke-like energy can be seen. Jio's eyes improved five times, plus the ability to see energy and magic when he activates this ability, making him mentally tired. The minimum use time is thirty minutes for multiple short uses and ten minutes tops for continuous use.
Standing in the middle of the field, Jio takes Jon out from his universal bag and ready himself to spar with Ms. Remy.
"Luna! Be the referee!" Ms. Remy let out.
"Yes, Miss Remy," she replies and continues with a loud voice, "ILL BE ACTING AS SAFETY FOR TODAY'S FIGHT; I WILL COUNT DOWN TO THREE AND THE FIGHT WILL BEGIN!"
THREE!....TWO!!....ONE!!!...GO!!!
Jio charges Ms. Remy while her swords begin to heat up, but this time it's five times the power, and part of her hair starts to blaze. She then blocks Jon with her left sword and tries to slash Jio from right to left with her right sword, but Jio dodges by jumping backward.

He swings Jon downward to Ms. Remy as Jon starts to change its appearance like the one before with the Monsgus in the forest as Jon approaches Ms. Remy.
He jumps back for a second time and charges again like his fighting for his life, and as the swords clash together, Ms. Remy realizes that her fire swords didn't affect Jio; it seems that some of the power gets transferred to Jio's body.
*Black stone? Not bad* Ms. Remy thought and said, "It seems like your using a black stone. Can you still fight? I'm sure you're about to hit your limit physically and mentally. Your sword sure can adapt real quick! It's unbelievable; it's a shame it's not a shield; it would be more useful," Ms. Remy comments as she raises her twin swords and puts them together, making it more like a great sword as the heat intensity.
"I forfeit!!! My sword and my black stones are full!" Jio aims his left arm in the sky, and all fire magic from the stone is release making a fire vortex. The students can not believe Jio has excellent control with magic but decided to become a warrior wasting his talent they thought.
Ms. Remy pulls the sword in half, making it back to her twin sword while the fire extinguishes like popping a bubble. "Class president, tell everyone to go back to the classroom and wait for me."
*He could attack me with the fire stored in the black magic stone and decided to forfeit... He knows how much damage it will cause if he uses it on me. Who's that kid's parent and who trained him?* Ms. Remy thought as she walks away
"Will do, Miss Remy," Luna replies.

Godfather Of Champions
This is a story about the pursuit of victory.— «I subscribe only to the theory of victory. I only pursue victory. As long as I am able to obtain victory, I don’t care if it’s total football or counterattack. What is the ultimate goal of professional soccer? In my opinion, it is victory, and the pinnacle of victory is to become the champions. I am a manager. If I don’t wish to lose my job or be forgotten by the people, there’s only one path for me to take, and that is to lead the team in obtaining victories, in obtaining championship titles!»The main character was not well-liked by people.— «⋯We conducted a survey which had been deemed by Manager Tony Twain as extremely meaningless. In a random street survey conducted, ninety-three percent of those surveyed chose the option ‘I hate Tony Twain’, while only seven percent chose the option ‘This person is rather decent, I like him’. It is worth noting that nobody chose the option ‘Who is Tony Twain? I don’t know him’. Mark, do you know why Manager Twain felt that our survey was very meaningless?» Parker, a reporter from laughed loudly and said when he was being interviewed by BBC.But there were also people who were madly in love with him.— When Tony Twain was forced to talk about the survey conducted by during an interview, his reply was : «I am happy, because Nottingham Forest’s fans make up seven percent of England’s population.»And he did not seem to care about how the others saw him.— «What are you all trying to make me say? Admit that I am not popular, and everywhere I go will be filled with jeers and middle fingers. You all think I will be afraid? Wrong! Because I am able to bring victory to my team and its supporters. I don’t care how many people hate me and can’t wait to kill me, and I also won’t change myself to accommodate the mood of these losers. You want to improve your mood? Very simple, come and defeat me.»His love story had garnered widespread attention.— «Our reporters took these pictures at Manager Tony Twain’s doorsteps. It clearly shows that Shania entered his house at 8.34pm and she did not leave the house throughout the night at all. But Manager Tony Twain firmly denies, and insists that that was merely the newest-model inflatable doll which he had ordered.He was the number one star of the team.— «⋯ Became the spokesperson of world-wide famous clothing brands, shot advertisements, frequented the fashion industry’s award ceremonies, endorsed electronic games, has a supermodel girlfriend. His earnings from advertisements exceed his club salary by seventeen times, owns a special column in various print medias, publishing his autobiography (in progress), and is even said that he is planning to shoot an inspirational film based off his own person experiences! Who can tell me which part of his life experiences is worthy of being called ‘inspirational’? Hold on⋯. Are you all thinking that I’m referring to David Beckham? You’re sorely mistaken! I’m talking about Manager Tony Twain⋯.»He was very knowledgeable about Chinese soccer.— «⋯ I’ve heard about it, that Bora gifted four books to his manager Mr. Zhu before your country’s national team’s warm up match. After which, the team lost 1:3 to a nameless American team from Major League Soccer. The new excuse that Mr. Zhu gave for losing the match, was that Bora gifted «books» (‘books’ and ‘lose’ are homophones in the Chinese language). Here, I recommend that you guys find out what that one specific book is. Which book? Of course the one that caused you all to score a goal. After that, tell me the title of the book. Before every match, I will gift ten copies of that same book to you. In that case, won’t you all be able to get a triumphant 10:0 win over your opponents every time?» An excerpt taken from Tony Twain’s special column in a certain famous Chinese sports newspaper.He was loved and hated by the press.— «He has a special column in at least four renowned print media, and he is able to get a considerable amount of remuneration just by scolding people or writing a few hundred words of nonsense weekly. While we have to contemplate hard about our drafts for three days before our boss is pleased with it. In an article inside his special column, he scolded and called all of the media ‘son of a bitch’, announcing that he hated the media the most. But every time he publishes an article, we flock towards him like flies which had spotted butter. Why? Because the readers like to read his news and see him scold people. I dare to bet with you, and Manager Tony Twain knows clearly in his heart as well, that even though he says that he hates us, he knows that the present him cannot do without us. Similarly, we also cannot do without him. Is this ultimately considered a good or a bad thing?» Bruce Pearce, a reporter from said with a face of helplessness when talking about Tony Twain.But no matter the case, his players were his most loyal believers.— Gareth Bale, «No no, we never had any pressure when playing on our home grounds. Because the pressure is all on the manager. As long as we see him standing by the side of the field, all of us will feel that we will be able to win that match. Even the football hooligans are like meek lambs in front of him!» (After saying this, he began to laugh out loudly)The reply from George Wood, the team captain of Nottingham Forest, was the most straightforward. «We follow him because he can bring us victory.»The legendary experience of Tony Twain, the richest, most successful, most controversial manager with the most unique personality!Debuting this summer.Thank you for reading.

MAZE - The Endless Quest
As all kids do, Hera wanted to be an explorer. Sadly when she turned 18, she discovered that her stats and lack of skills made her fail the requirements to become one, and she went to work on a bookstore. That should have been the end of her story. But when she wins a lottery to have her level up, she discovers a hidden skill and a rare one at that. The system gave her dream back, and this time she is not letting it go. ############################## The story is about a world where game-like systems are the norm. Everyone has a level, status, and even skills are a common thing. If your stats are good, you can also become an explorer, someone that ventures inside a place called MAZE, a dungeon of sorts filled with monsters, creatures, and things that the natural world is missing, such as magic and demi-humans. The story follows Hera, a woman who wanted to be an explorer, but her status were too low to become one. One day she wins a raffle that allows her to level up for the first time giving her the chance to achieve her childhood dream. It's more about how things work and what you can do with them than about power or revenge. The rhythm might be a bit slow for some, but that is the idea. I want to give sort of a slice of life feeling to most of it.
