《The hopeless student in another world》Chapter 10
Advertisement
Twenty floors have passed since the fight with the invisible scorpions.
They encountered giant earth worms that attack from the ground, Giant frogs that release poison fog that confuses enemies, four armed gorilla’s , exploding fruit monsters, etc.
“You finish packing our stuff yet?” (Kenshin)
“I'm just about to send it off, the ‘storage plant’ that is” (Lana)
What Lana was using was the ‘storage plant’.
It was something that worked like an inventory from RPG’s.
It was only achievable due to Lana’s power that used a special type of plant that comes out from the ground when in a environment suitable for it.
When storing items, Lana calls it forth from the ground, a plant with the appearance of a Venus flytrap eats the object or objects and it gets safely stored underground.
It could also be ordered to move the items to a different place but its moving speed is the same as a horse carriage.
Incidentally, if the route that the plant takes isn’t suitable, like if the place where it was told to go was like a desert, it wouldn’t be able to resurface.
This was discovered when the two went to the floor with the giant scorpion as it was a desert floor.
Luckily, Kenshin was able to make a cart where they put all their stuff in so they could use the ‘storage plant’ again in an environment more suitable for it.
‘Guriririri’
As it was sent off, making a sound of the earth moving.
“All right, I’m finished” (Lana)
They were now ready to head to the next floor.
The entrance was no different from the others as they were all burrows.
It took around ten minutes till they found themselves in the floor after.
What filled their vision was night time.
There was a ceiling fifty metres above made of crystals.
They were crystals that emitted light like moonlight making it seem like they were outside at night time.
Black rock covered the terrain as if it was made from lave that cooled in the ocean - most likely it was.
A 30 metre bridge made of the same rock was in front of them that connected to a cliff on the other side.
The two should have be wary but walked on any way.
Below the bridge was darkness where the crystal light didn’t reach.
To the sides of the bridge was the cliff wall both behind and front of them that continued for what looked like miles.
After they crossed it that took 2 hours walk, stepping off the rock bridge, it crumbled as if trapping them from escape.
They kept walking anyway without looking back.
After walking, they saw a burrow, the entrance of a floor, 20 metres ahead.
They stopped.
A statue of 10 metre stood between them to the burrow.
More like it floated.
Made of marble like material was a humanoid statue depicting a woman with a face without the pupils or iris that made it more lifeless. It wore a Greek woman’s dress with a tiara atop its head. But it did not flutter as it was made of marble like material. It floated 5 meters above the rocky surface from where its dress ended.
They stared at each other for a moment, then.
Its mouth opened.
Then,
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
Like a woman singing in a concert, its voice resounded echoing.
It was an area of effect magic that increased gravity four times in the statues surrounding area.

The same as his classmate’s spell ‘overload’ but twice more.
It would ground the enemies who were in a twenty metre range around it, making their body be pushed to the ground.
But,
the two targets were not being pushed to the ground.
It saw this so it started to increase the gravity to five times.
But Kenshin immediately dashed forward to the side of it, taking out his sword.
Still confused as to why Kenshin and Lana were able to be unaffected, it thought that Kenshin would try to harm it with his sword.
It did not pay him any heed because of knowing that it would not be harmed due to judging him to be weak.
Also, its common sense that swords are not able to destroy rock, maybe crack it a little but still, even if it was something that was able to harm it, ‘that’ would prevent it..
But that’s not what Kenshin did; he ran to its side.
Some might think that Kenshin ran away to the burrow behind it leaving Lana behind.
It didn’t bother with him as that burrow was blocked.
It started focusing on Lana.
It was surprised as she became different in appearance.
Lana had thick vines that looked like muscle fibre on her back, arms and legs.
She jumped 5 metres above it, holding a battle axe with both palms.
It was one of her powers that use special types of vines that grow from her to act as pseudo muscles that gave her super human strength.
An attack with her power would definitely harm it; even more kill it as she aimed at the head.
But it wasn’t fazed as it had ‘that’.
But then, ‘that’ was gone.
After,
‘Kurrag!’
Her axe was embedded into its head.
What would have happened normally was,
when the statue had encountered intruders it would:
Use the gravity magic to bind them. It would go attack after.
If the gravity didn’t work, it would let the intruder/s attack but would then be stopped by a force field or ‘that’.
Then it would attack.
What transpired that it would fall here?
When it attacked with its AOE (Area of Effect) magic, Kenshin neutralised its gravity magic from where they were at by using Precision Magic Disassembly, a technique that Kenshin made for countering magic.
It would generate mana pulses of varying strength that would target a magic’s weak points that would render it useless.
To use it requires:
A type-2 or pseudo type-2 mana perception.
Usually, every person can see magic as light particle emission due to a sort of third eye that overlaps with normal sight, they are type 1.
But very rarely there are some born able to perceive more than just the particles, they are able to see the actual mana, they are type 2.
Kenshin was not a type-2; he was a pseudo type-2, someone who was able to activate a non-natural version.
He achieved it by training when he was doing mana control training.
There had been accounts of people centuries ago who were able to achieve it, but was few, very very few in numbers.
Using this type-2 or pseudo type, the user gets visual of the target magic and generate mana pulses that would go targeting the weak points.
When magic is activated, particles of mana released by the user begin moving to form patterns.
These particles do not stay fixed, they keep moving at varying speeds, making different patterns and shapes.

This influences natural phenomena, altering the world.
Other type-2 or pseudo type-2 aren’t able to replicate it as they would have to process the fast patterns of mana that makes the effects of magic to influence its surroundings.
Incidentally, there are some magic countering techniques that are similar to it, like using the opposite magic of the targeted magic to neutralise the effects.
This was why the gravity magic did not affect the two, Precision Magic Disassembly.
When Kenshin used the pseudo type-2, he ‘sensed/saw’ that the statue had a type of force field cloak around it.
He ‘saw’ that it was connected to a lump of mana that was ‘seen’ on living creatures just a few metres behind it.
The outer line of it was in the shape of an oblong.
Kenshin could ‘see’ it was densely packed with huge mana as it was able to penetrate the rock surface it was buried in.
Kenshin began to move.
His target was the object beneath the rock floor.
He ran pass the statue, still wary that it might attack him, it didn’t leave his focus.
While he did, he took out a two edged dagger/sword, around 50 cm long.
At that time, he signalled Lana to use her strength boosting vines to attack the head; the head got targeted specifically due to that part usually being the brain.
Kenshin jumped, while he was in the air, he began to put his mana to his sword.
He started to quickly manipulate mana particles to form magic patterns moving at different speeds similar to the speeds and motions of machines from a factory.
That’s when it started to release a high frequency sound.
He stabbed the floor where the object would be.
His sword easily went through the hard compressed rock, hitting the object.
Then the high frequency sound stopped.
Normally a sword like that would break, be deflected or the person wielding the sword would have their arm broken.
That did not happen.
Kenshin was using magic, magic to make the sword tip resonate at high frequencies causing what ever thing the tip touched to have their molecular bonds weaken.
It was his magic.
He was able to create it by using his classmates ‘frequency slash’ as the template.
He was able to gain knowledge of processes (movement of mana) that forms magic needed seeing with his pseudo type-2 vision.
When he began to make it, it seemed that ‘frequency slash’ was needlessly using mana for the vibration or oscillation that cause the target sword to become glowing hot.
It was also using some other unnecessary processes in it that took a lot of mana.
With this, he became able to cut down on mana and cast time on his version of ‘frequency slash’ called ‘resonation’.
Due to this high control of mana, chants were unnecessary for him.
Kenshin’s ‘resonation’ cast time was 0.5 seconds long.
He has been aiming to cut it down to 0.2 seconds.
With that, the object was disabled.
The statues force field was gone, giving Lana a safe passage to strike.
It was no longer using the AOE magic to increase the surrounding gravity.
Due to that, there was no need for Kenshin to keep neutralising the statues magic.
‘Doosh!’
After being bludgeoned in the head, the statue stopped its mid-air float making it crash on the ground.
“Good work” (Kenshin)
Praising the fox eared girl next to him who no longer had her fake muscles.
“Ehehe, praise me more” (Lana)
To the girl who began having a big head, Kenshin ignored and simply headed to the direction of the burrow in front of them.
At a later time, the two companions would have found out that the burrow that seemed to be a dead end was actually the exit of the dungeon.
It was a path that did not contain monsters or light but it went through a range of mountains that was located at the North of Palami.
It acted as a wall between Palami and the seaside territories.
A sea that separated the human and the vampire continent 5000 km apart.
--------------------------
At the time when the class was summoned time, in the vampire continent, a continent located North West from the human continent; the capital city of vampires called Fanguard, a city located near the border of the North Sea.
There, a meeting with the continents empress was finished.
A male with the appearance of a young male in his mid or late twenties came out of the door that leads to the throne room where influential figures would discuss politics.
His height was 197 cm, bigger by ten compared to the average height of their race.
He had a pale complexion, crimson eyes with silver hair, traits of the vampire race.
Compared to others of his race, his hair was long and straight that cut off in a straight line at the end of it that was located at the person’s neck.
But what was most eye catching was with his facial structure, it was the same as that of an elf character from the fantasy franchise with hobbits, dwarfs, elves, humans and orcs.
But their similarity was over from that to their abnormal life span.
That was because vampires with their appearance had longer life spans compared to other humanoids.
This person would become 71 years old, 130 years from the average span of life that his race had.
He wore a black tailcoat with dark grey pairing of a shirt with frills at the chest area and pants.
On the right part of his chest, medals that were akin to medals worn by generals on earth were there.
It signified his rank of a general in the army of Fanguard.
In a dignified tone,
“Count Buroom”
Not only in appearance but his name was similar.
A male attendant that looked younger than him by five years called out to him.
“Roland, tell the others to prepare for war” (Buroom)
Roland thought,
’War……… …… But were already at war with two races already……….’
“……….If I may ask, with whom are we having a war with?” (Roland
With a smile that spread from ear to ear, he said.
“Finally, I get to bless that lowly race with my presence and show them that our race reigns supreme!” (Buroom)
With that monologue, Roland’s questions had been answered.
“I see, so were going to be at war with them……. Count Buroom, I assume that were going through the sea south of here, correct?” (Roland)
“Ahh, that is correct. Also, call me General, we are at war beginning now after all.” (Buroom)
Having changed the tone to a playful one, he told him.

Tales of the Willful Autonomous Nanobot Generator
Due to over-engineering and poor parenting; a nanobot generator is sent into the wider universe, ready to solve any and all problems...though probably not the way that was intended, or even hoped for. This story is a first time attempt to use a literary device I came up with, where I use 4 randomly selected songs to write short stories. As such there really won't be any cohesive story thread between chapters. If this gets traction, the likelihood for reader polls to influence the next story are high.

The Immortal Epic
After all that happened... I do think I would thank dr Errhart if I were back to the day this all started, knowing all that happened after. Of course, if I were back on the day this all started with the implied knowledge, I would take and play with his soul in retribution. Oh, how have I grown since then. I'm almost nostalgic. Almost. To tell you the truth, I don't really remember the first days. Yes, I remember me working at the facility, with all the downs and downs but after the experiment, those first days afterwards, I can't bring for the life of me those moments in the cold dark broken room to mind. I never did discover what happened during the experiment. What could occur to burn the whole facility to a crisp and shut down both the main and emergency power supply? Dr Errhart always seemed to fail in impossible ways. When I got out of that underground tomb, I discovered what the experiment did to the world. Beast and monsters feed on the unprotected if left to fester, powerful men from the remnants of my old world have risen up to take their own and might takes up new forms. Oh, and here you must be perplexed. I totally forgot to tell. While the experiment doomed many in the facility and the world above, which wouldn't have happened had they not ignored my notes on the project, I feel like it was all worth it. For at the cost of the precious but secret arcanium, we got our greatest tool yet. Magic.

# The Gemstone of Ominium 2 - Pain
Her unfazed expression didn’t even waver when the blade of her thin sword pierced one of the men all the way through armor, flesh and bone, a gurgling sound bubbling from his throat. With a kick she mercilessly pushed him back, freeing her blade, and glanced down at his dead body sprawled at her feet, confirming that death had indeed taken him. Stepping over the dead man’s body as if it were a mere pebble on her path, she raised her head just in time to see her second attacker lunge at her and, nimbly turning on her heels, she slit his throat. A spray of hot, sticky blood hit her left cheek and slid down her neck, but she didn’t even blink. The scent of the fresh blood filled her nostrils and her brain like an inebriating drug and she stepped forward once again, lightly turning to one side to avoid being decapitated and quickly returning the favor. One by one the men kept falling as she advanced, victims of her lethal, almost mechanical movements, as if she’d been born with a sword in hand and ready to kill …* This is a direct continuation of Book 1 - Denial. You CANNOT start reading Book 2 without reading Book 1, since the story won't make any sense! Enjoy ^_^*
