《NightFall》Chapter 4 - I will go to a real academy.. NOT A BIASED ONE!
Advertisement
I am seriously getting pissed right now.
To prevent my anger I just swing my sword a few times before my anger subsides.
I turn around and start returning to dad when I hear a collision sound, like *DHAK* *BAM* and a *BOOM*. I then look back only to find a destroyed examination center. Maybe something fell on top of it, I also see severed rope beside it. {How did the explosion happen btw} Did I do that? Well maybe. Now I judge this situation wise to start running. Everyone is looking at the center. Well former examination center.
No one gives a shit, YEAAA. I go back to dad and tell him,
“I will not study or train in a school where students are biased based on their affinities. I’d rather stay weak.”
“So clichéd” He replies nonchalantly. Cliché? WTF IS A CLICHÉ!
“I know right, so dad please don’t make me enroll in this shithole of an academy,”
“So spill it, how did the center get destroyed?” Said dad dodging the topic.
“Stop dodging the topic and answer me dad!” I reply dodging the topic which he was using to dodge mine. (LOL)
Dad thinks for a bit and answers, “What will I tell your mother?” Does this mean I am free? DAD AGREED! YEAAAAAAAAAAAH!
“You told mom that I was enrolling in a academy, but not which academy, did you? It doesn’t have to be in Tristein City now does it?” I wink at dad and he seems to get the meaning.
Then dad proposed a plan, “Then let’s go to Transwin City. It has a temple academy with TV, WIFI, Mobile and stuff . The professor there is a good man, I’ve known him for a long time. Knowing him he will keep you away from bias. Let’s take you there.”

I ask dad, “What is this TV you speak of?”
“Just some fancy technology.” Dad shrugs it off. I take nothing of it and agree with dads plan.
I tell dad “let us enjoy the scenery here and depart tomorrow at evening.”
Dad asks, “Why not dawn?” Dawn are fucking kidding me!
I reply, “No, dad. A healthy man needs a healthy rest.” Dad seems to buy it.
So I take it easy and roam for the rest of the day and at night I decide to spar with my old man.
I start the spar by rushing towards him and do a side slash with a wooden sword but dad dodged it with ease and he gave me a push. I stumbled and with the hilt of the sword he hit me in my back and I fall down.
I stand up again and this time look at his each and every movements. He seems like he is using a set of movement which has finesse in every step and I can’t seem to comprehend it.
I ask father which technique he is using,
He replies, “Formless Light Technique. As you know I don’t have a big mana pool. So by utilizing my little mana pool and light affinity I created the Formless Light Technique.”
I have affinity with darkness. So I have to use the same principles to create formless shadow technique. This can be useful in the future. I ask dad,
“Can you teach me the formless light technique’s principles?”
“No, this is something you have to learn yourself.” HE IS SMIRKING! AND STOP ACTING LIKE THE MYSTERIOUS TEACHER!!
“I’ll tell mom about the special magazines you keep hidden in the library then. Hehe.” His face becomes pale,
“How did you find that!” He is terrified again.

“It’s elementary, Mr. Watson.” I answer with a smirk.
“Who is Watson? And what is elementary!”
“No one. And you literally put the book inside the biology Wikipedia. It’s not hard to find.”
“Ok promise me that you will never tell your mom about the book and I will teach you about the principles.” He says worriedly.
“Alright I promise. Now teach me the principles” I tell dad.
“To learn the principles of this technique you have to strengthen your body first.”
That’s how my training while travelling with dad started. Transwin City was quite far away. It would take 2 months and a day to reach there by wagon.
.
.
After a month my body was strong enough for the Formless Shadow Technique. Dad starts telling me the principles behind that technique,
“The Formless Technique is a martial arts pro technique, but I revamped it with my light mana. I use light mana behind my every movement and every step and every slashes. You need activate your affinity to get started with this technique. But from today I am gonna teach you The Formless Technique and after you reach the temple academy and activate your affinity, then I am gonna teach you the Formless Light Techniques, the same principle which you will use in Formless Shadow Techniques.”
Then my training starts. Again. Can’t a man rest while travelling at least? I am reminded of my sleeping, goofing around old days. Well the right phrase for this is, “Becareful what you wish for.”
So the Formless Technique basically is offensive and defensive at the same time. That’s why this technique is the hardest and the most advanced technique. *Sigh* I think won’t get a wink of rest in this month either.
.
.
A month later, I finally master the Formless Techniques. This time I will sleep in the wagon the whole day. Because we’re arriving there tomorrow.
The Transwin City is the city which is most advanced in fancy technologies in father’s words. The Temple Academy may not be the best, but they teach the best techniques for defense and offense. I already learned one of the techniques. But apparently there are hundred more. I WANNA GO HOME! Dad was also very strict with his training I got bruises all over the body. If I get strong enough I am gonna get revenge for this tyranny. Viva La Revolution!!
Well whatever.
.
.
I arrive in front the academy. The first thought in my mind was ‘THIS IS THE ACADEMY, ISN’T THIS JUST A COACHING CENTER!?’ It was very small and rundown. But I keep repeating in my mind ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover.’
With the raging curiosity I go inside the academy.

Author here.
The last chapter 4 was a fake, fluke chapter. That was my friends way of practical joke. My RRL account was logged in PC and he took advantage of that, when I went to bath for half an hour.
Sorry people. Here is the real chapter 4. And please give a review on how I can improve my writing style and story.
Author out. :grin: :grin:

8 130Helena's Plane
Paul, a bored young man, wakes up in a white room. A young woman tells him he has died, that she is some kind of god who likes videogames and he will be reborn in an RPG-esque world so she and her fellow god-friends can watch him for entertainment.Unfortunately, the goddess forgot to give Paul most of the obligatory, obvious cheat-abilities to make him rush to power in easy mode. Paul embraces his new life full of clichés, perverts, magic, loot and action. And animal girls.18+ !CONTAINS GRAPHIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL CONTENT! (Actual sex is still hard to find, but you will get it. Eventually. Sporadically.) =================Author's note:So, this is my very first novel. It will be poorly written, has a huge info-dump disguised as a first chapter (to be rewritten. At some point in the future. I guess.), and may or may not offend everyone for different reasons. Perhaps you will just find it boring, which would be even worse. The description turned out a bit comedic, but the story isn't overly so.I have a rough idea of where this will be going, but expect some bumps on the road, as well as logic holes, flat characters and a lot of borderline copyright infringements from all the ideas I got reading other works. And did I mention I'm not a native speaker? No? Well, expect some embarrassing grammar and wording choices.The main character is a more or less normal guy, without high morals, martial arts skills or even a desirable goal in life. There is mature content, in terms of violence and sexual content. It won't become a full-blown erotic novel, and it may or may not be your cup of tea when it comes to the type of content.Critics welcome.

8 329Scratch Pad
This is my scratchpad where I will - Sharing my (often) weird dreams with the public at large... - Use my story dice for a creative writing session - Add short story just because I thought of it Essentially, I am just going to use each chapter to write when the mood strikes me. Enjoy my random adventures with me! If something sparks it for you, feel free to use any content here in your own story - just give source credit like an upright citizen. If I use it in another one of my stories on RR, I’ll credit it in the story and link the story here in the author’s post chapter notes.

Heroes. Villains. Magic. It's a story we've heard told time and again, each a near copy of the last. You know the story, but what if it was told from an entirely new perspective? What if it didn't follow the hero? What if, and bear with me here: I told it instead? My name is Daniel, and I'm just a simple merchant with quite the story to share...
