《Magicat》Chapter 9 Pt3
Advertisement
Author's Note: Sorry for the delay. I was busy. I should be writing another one soon though. Also happy Valentines Day! (If you have someone T_T)
Ai and Yen arrive in front of wooden double doors with a wooden sign hanging on a hook next to them.
Yen: “Magic101: An introduction to unnatural phenomena It seems like we are here Ai.”
Ai: “Yeah I wonder if I can understand this course.”
Yen: [I don’t know either…]
Yen reads out what is written on the sign and Ai looks skeptical as she opens the door. Inside is a set up just like the other classroom except that all the seats are filled.
Ai: “Hmm Yen should we just stand at the back then?”
Ai looks around and asks for Yen’s advice.
Yen: “No. I can just make a seat for us and I’ll sit on your lap.”
Ai: “Okay.”
Yen gathers earth mana and casts a spell.
Yen: “Create Chair”
A chair grows out of the floor, forming itself into a plain four legged chair with a back.
Ai: “Hmm won’t this be bad for the floor? The chair is connected to the ground.”
Yen: “It’s okay. I’ll turn it back afterwards.”
Ai: “Okay.”
Ai nods and sits down and places Yen on her lap. This whole process is watched by a completely dumbfounded class.
However, they are not given much time to stare when the teacher walks into the classroom.
Magic Teacher: “Okay class let’s get ready for magic! Hm? What are you all looking at?”
The teacher is an uptight looking young man with yellow wavy hair and wide eyes behind a silver monocle over his right eye. He is wearing a silver embroidered white robe.
He looks at where all the eyes are looking at with interest but quickly loses it.

Magic Teacher: “Oh so it’s just a magic chair. Make sure to revert it afterwards okay?”
Ai: “Okay. We will.”
Magic Teacher: “Good. My name is Jenson, there is no need for you to know my surname, and I am your teacher for Magic introduction and if you will be advancing, I will also be your teacher for advanced Magic Theory.”
Yen: [He seems to be quite strong if he teaches a high level class.]
Yen looks at the man with interest as he begins to teach.
Jenson: “Now. I will assume you plebs know nothing about magic and start at the beginning.”
Jenson starts writing on the board by levitating a piece of chalk and controlling it.
Jenson: “We will start with the basic elements: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light, and Dark.”
He draws a circle and a line on the board.
Jenson: “Now each one has weaknesses and strong points. Water smothers Fire. Fire consumes WInd. Wind weathers Earth. Earth consumes Water. And Light and Dark destroy each other.”
He proceeds to draw images representing the 6 elements on the circle and line.
Jenson: “Most have two or three elements that they excel in. Any more and the mana becomes diluted and weak though there are some exceptions like the heroes of old.”
Random Pleb: “What if they only have one element?”
Jenson: “That is a good question. They usually have exceptional power and control in that one element or are exceptionally weak. Some of the heroes also only had one element.”
Jenson takes a pause and sips some water.
Jenson: “Now then you can find your aptitude with these sheets of magic paper. When someone unskilled with mana holds this without a mana shielding like I am using at the moment, the sheet will become dyed with the colors of their elements. Yellow for Earth, Green for Wind, Blue for Water, Red for Fire, Beige for Light and black for Dark.”

Jenson’s hand is surrounded by a beige and blue swirling aura.
Yen: [Is that how you make a mana shield? Interesting. Though that is probably just his imagination influencing it.]
Jenson walks around and places a sheet of paper in front of each student. Yen creates a table in front of Ai.
Jenson: “Do you need this? It seems you are already proficient in magic.”
Ai: “Hm? Do you mean the table and chair? Yen made those.”
Jenson looks down at Ai’s lap.
Jenson: “The familiar?”
Ai: “Yep!”
Jenson: “…hm”
He nods and places a sheet in front of Ai,
Jenson: “Okay. Now pick them up and see what your aptitude is.
The whole class picks the sheets up and looks on with amazement as the sheets are slowly dyed colors starting from where they touched it. Comments of delight or and disappointment sound in the classroom.
Ai: “Hm. Yen I got beige and nothing else.”
Yen: “You are probably pretty strong with it so I don’t think there is any need to worry.”
Ai flaps the sheet around in front of Yen.
Ai: “Hmm I wonder what happens if I touch you with this?”
Jenson: “This paper only works with humans. Familiars have their own methods of figuring out their aptitudes. Beside each paper is only usable once.”
Ai: “Oh. Okay.”
Jenson returns to the front of the room and claps his hand to gather the students’ attention.
Jenson: “Okay. This is it for today’s lesson. For homework you should find the chapter in the textbook and determine a good training regime based on your aptitudes and come in tomorrow with a basic understanding of how to use your mana.”
The class concludes when the bell rings and the students gather their books and leave the classroom.
Author's Note: Again. Sorry for the delay in my already dead snail pace.

The Mystifying Diviner
Content warning, there is cursing in the story and there will be some pretty heavy sexual innuendos in it also. I don’t really plan to write gore, but there will be fight scenes. Fair warning to readers, it is a slow start. But hopefully it is enjoyable for you to read. Follow the story of an old chef who was lucky to be selected to become a system host. Well maybe not so lucky, because gaining the system killed him. He will be given a system that might not be the best match for him. While also having to deal with a snarky system monitor who might not be that helpful most of the time. He will also use his new found powers to enjoy life in a new younger body. What you can expect from this story is bad writing, poor grammar, and slow pacing maybe. Food, cooking, comedy, slice of life, fighting, exploring, tournaments, scamming and probably face slapping. I mean who doesn’t like a good face slapping? This is my take on a cultivation story, a lot of Eastern stuff will be crammed into with a mix of Western. This story started as a goal for myself to write 60,000 words in a month for NaNoWriMo. I was able to do it even with taking days off and not writing. I plan to keep writing the story, but at a slightly slower pace. I am aiming for 2-3 chapters a week now with about 4-7k words written. This is only posted on RoyalRoad currently, and I have no plans to change that for now. Cover art is by Jack0fheart [Participant in the 2021 Royal Road Writathon Challenge for the month of November 2021]

It's not a game
Where am I? This is not my room. What is this place. If you were transported to another world, to be an RPG protagonist. Just another average weak human being, with nothing but ten copper coins and a crappy sword. Could you defeat demons, monsters and giants? I think not. In a world inhabited by all manner of unspeakable evil, by devils of both monster and man. Could you right wrongs and fix a broken world? I think not. When both your fellow man, demons and the very divines that hold reality together conspire to corrupt, extort and rape this world. When they toy with you and laugh in amusement as you dance in their palms. Could you alter fate? I think not. So when this is the thorny path ahead of our protagonists, why would you expect them to be able to? They’re just human after all, teenagers at that. Nevertheless, join me on an epic journey that will alter the course of history and reality itself as our protagonists show you what it really means to be human... in an inhuman world.

A Mildly Odd Reality Breaker
Omar receives an unexpected visitor who comes baring a gift—a "registration ticket"—in the form of a small metal card. The ticket is itself an offer to participate in the game, "Reality Break." Accepting this offer means that Omar will be able to perceive the true nature of reality where there is not one, but two dimensions of time, and in this second dimension history changes (and somewhat "frequently"). Along with this, he will also gain access to the "chronopause"; another reality that is not so much parallel to our own as it is perpendicular, which acts as both a place and the natural boundary between non-sequential points on the timeline. Using the chronopause, Omar will become a chrononaut with the ability to travel through time, and as a player, he will be given a cybernetic interface and his own portable extradimensional storage space. It's a strange conversation, but due to Omar's dismally short attention span, he only consciously hears that last bit about the portable pocket space, and that's only after the physics-defying void is opened in his living room and literally waved in front of his face. Reality is certainly stranger than most people realize, but then again, so is Omar. Thankfully, he responds well to shiny things, and for better or for worse, his chronic inattentiveness is the least of his psychological issues. Omar also has a mild form of "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" which presents itself as an occasional, arbitrary need to disobey others (especially authority figures). However, his oddest psychological issue by far is his "abnormally hyperactive" subconscious mind. Outwardly and consciously, Omar is a lazy, apathetic man-child prone to mildly asinine behavior. Subconsciously, he's some sort of genius capable of extraordinary feats of cognition. Most of the time, Omar is a (technically) functioning adult, but in order to live as such, he must rely entirely upon unusual abilities he's completely unaware of, despite the fact that he uses them regularly. Up until now, his life had merely been ridiculous, but now it was also a game. Note: The narrative style is that of a reliable narrator with a "3rd-person sarcastic" POV. This story takes place in the Reality Breakers/Chronopause universe.
