《Mana Odyssey》Chapter 5:This test is really a pain
Advertisement
"They keep up a pretty good fight, looks like we don't need to fight again."
"Yeah."
I just answer it with a simple answer because I sense something weird this test is to easy even if it is a wyvern usually we only need around ten soldiers to fight it on equal ground.
*PR note (I have no clue what this means lol.)*
But there is around 400 hundred people left here. We are not soldiers so it only needs around 20 people. 20 times 10 is 200 hundred. Then why he should know our number even if half of us go to take written test then there at least 300 hundred so it is 15 wyvern at least.He say the test is harder than previous test even thought i never take a test, i know this is to easy. Just what is this mean hmm.
"HEYYYYYY."
"Guah, what's wrong with you."
My ear is ringing again.
"Thats what I should be saying are you not listening to me?"
"Uh, sorry I was just in deep thinking."
"Listen okay, did you see the girl over there?"
"Which one?"
"The one that has her back against the wall, she looks like she is waiting for something to come."
There I see a girl with a Long white the reaches her waist , she is little shorter than me, she is staring the battles of the rest of the people, and there is her mana on the shoulder which looks like a serpent to me but one that is only 30 cm tall and 20cm wide. She is prepared to fight but she doesn't go fight. What Riese says is true she is waiting for something, something that require her full power.
"Hey Riese, do you know that girl?"
"Nn, her name is Shiroyuki Aolia, She is called the "Princess of serpent", her mana is ice element which is one of the rare elements.
"She is strong, her title matches her behavior too"
"I have the same feeling too looks like her title really suit her."

"Anyway lets watch out looks like there is something stronger than a normal wyvern. She feels it too."
"Don't be tense so much, let just watch for now okay."
"Nn."
Then we continue to watch the battle.
After 30 minutes the battle ends and there is only wyvern left which looks like the leader of the pack flying. It never roars once and it never attack students it just watch as the students killed the wyvern.
"Wyvern are weak aren't they, and what's wrong with that wyvern. It is just a coward whose afraid to be killed."
One of the student's mock the wyvern.
"Boss is right this wyvern is a coward."
"I think it's just afraid of our boss."
After they hear this a group of student begin to gather together to at mock the wyvern.
"Hey, why are they putting on this idiot act in front of a wyvern? Do they want to die so much?"
"Hey Riese can a wyvern a become a mana?"
"Pretty much yes all animal in the world can become our form of mana you know, why are you asking this?"
"Damn, why I don't notice it sooner so that is why it doesn't attack us."
"Meaning?"
"It is a mana not a living wyvern , it is far more dangerous than a normal wyvern."
"Ehhh, how do you know?"
"I will tell you after this, so prepare the strongest spell you can chant, I will disperse the group."
"Unn..."
Then the weird teacher that is silent until now opens his mouth and speaks.
"Oh my everyone sure is strong to defeat all of wyvern ."
"Of course this is easy as walking in the park."
"Then please defeat that wyvern if you can that is."
"Huh."
While the student who calls himself boss is wondering what he means. The wyvern open its mouth and lighting is shot out by wyvern it hits a group of students. All of the student's mana body's are instantly destroyed so they passed out.

"Oh yeah, everyone who passes out are counted as dead so they are out of the test~~~, and my mana is not kind okay do your best."
Everyone who hears this grows pale, as near one hundred student have already failed in a single attack, they are afraid the same fate will appear before them, so they just stand waiting for someone to defeat it.
That wyvern is an A rank type mana so it is that strong, this test is not easy as they think.
Even thought it is a A rank mana, I won't waver even if it is a S rank Demon I will face it.
I must defeat it.
I must pass this test.
Then I prepare to jump but the wyvern notices me. It shoots lighting again from its mouth and its even more dangerous than the previous one. It must think I am dangerous so it will go full power. I roll to the right, and it hit the ground where I was standing before and has instantly become black.
If I am hit by that my mana body will be gone for sure. Then I cast wind lance as I run, I shoot it towards the wyvern to check it's reaction speed. The wyvern instantly flaps his left wing, the wind lance passes the wyvern and hits the roof.
.........Kaboom!!! It hits the roof and a hole appears in the roof.
Ah, sorry.
As the wyvern sees my wind lances attack power, it begins to feel afraid and fly's higher until it was near the roof, but even if I jump I cannot reach the wyvern and my spell will be easily dodged.
It then open its mouth again and shoots me with lighting but this is faster than the previous one and much stronger.
I jump to the right it barely miss. So fast I cannot dodge it forever.
"HEY RIESE, ARE YOURS SPELL READY?"
"2 more minutes, I must concentrate so don't ask again."
"Good, I will seal his movement then."
I don't want to use this but I must do it .
Original wind spell:Sylph step
With this spell I can step on the air. This spell works by hardening the air so I can step on it. And I can choose when I want to step or not.
With it I can hit flying enemies.
But it require a lot of mana so I can only use it for 30 minutes at max in my best condition.
I can defeat it with other spells, but it's dangerous to the podium any further.
After I cast Sylph step I then run in the air, the wyvern seeing this reveals a shocked face, but it keeps shooting lightning, but in the air I can easy dodge them cause there is more space to dodge. Then after that I arrive in front of the wyvern where I slice the joint but is harder than I thought. So I cannot cut the wing.
Change of plans I will just make it stay still in the ground. I thrust my both sword's into it eyes at same time then while it's rampaging I cast wind sword .
It makes a sword of wind this spell is pretty weak but it holds more weight and can stay for 5 minutes so I cast 10 and shoot 5 to each wing.
Which cause the wyvern to lose its balance and fall to the ground.
But before it falls I withdraw my sword and jump back.
Then I cast another 15 wind swords to hold it down. While it is pinned down Riese spell is completed.
"Forvish, fall back."
"Un."
"Eat this Sol-Sword!!"
Then a compressed fire sword appears it then falls to the wyvern when it hits the wyvern it instantly burned it which cause it to die instantly.
The wyvern then disperses into tiny lights and vanishes.
"Hey Riese why do you shout the name of spell, it is not needed you know?"
"ckckckck cause its cooler like that."
She move her finger like mocking me. Oh well fine.
But this test is really a pain.
I don't want do it again.
But I feel another blood lust.
When I face it I see the white haired girl with her blue eyes on me.

REND
In an alternate reality Earth, where a mysterious organization of superhumans fights eldritch horrors taking over people's minds, Erind Hartwell, a first-year law student with psychopathic tendencies and obsessive compulsion to follow an inexplicably arbitrary set of Rules, seemed normal in comparison.

Parallels
Parallels are a constant in life. Our friends' lives often run parallel to ours; we share similar experiences or tastes- perhaps even both. Sometimes, however, opposites attract- and our lives run perpendicular. In that case, we are not attracted by similarities; rather, we are attracted to the differences in others. So, what happens when two parallels are broken apart? What might happen to them? Are they forever doomed to run alongside each other, never seeing one another, never meeting? Or, perhaps, might they be spun about? Could these lines that formerly ran alongside one another meet? Could they possibly be set perpendicular? Any feedback is welcome, so long as it is constructive. Also, you may not use any characters, ideas, places, or what have you that I present here without my explicit permission. A note: This is a story which I began over a year ago, but never got around to finishing- it feels about time to really get it going. Now, there are a couple of things about the story, and myself, that need to be said. First and foremost, there's a slow start, but by the third-fourth chapter things should be speeding up a bit. Secondly, in regards to release speed and/or word count per chapter, I make no promises- my schedule is fairly random, and in regards to word count, I will cut off any chapter at any point that feels appropriate to me- that may include cliffhangers, if necessary. I'm not trying to reach a specific word count, I am trying to create a cohesive story, with pseudo-appropriate chapter breaks. This means I will also not rush a half-baked release for the sake of getting a release out. Thirdly, I will make any edits, anywhere in the story and at any time, that strike me as necessary- typically being wording and/or formatting changes, but I may also decide to change major plot points- in that case I would put a notification in the next chapter released. Finally, and most importantly, I am a Christian; this story is intended to at least moderately reflect those values. So, if you particularly dislike any of these things, feel free to look elsewhere, and don't let the door hit you on the way out. God bless, friends.

Warmage: A Progression Fantasy
As the daughter of a renowned War Hero, Shaya was destined for a life of heroism and glory. A life she desired more than anything else – until her mother sacrificed herself for the cause and the very Empire she died for stole Shaya’s dreams from her. Cunning and resourceful, Shaya worked hard to keep her and her brother safe, clawing themselves out of a system set against them and gaining the power they needed to find their way in life again. Now, she’s achieved the first step of her dreams: she's been accepted to the prestigious Imperial Academy of War and Magic. In order to become the best gods damned Warmage around, all she has to do is overcome the Imperial system that wants to see her fail and control the demonic blood in her veins that wants for nothing but rage and violence. ...but hey, every obstacle is an opportunity to exploit – if you’re willing to think smart and work hard. Updates Sunday - Tuesday - Thursday![successful participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Rating: This should align pretty closely with your typical MCU movie, so PG-13 for scenes of fantasy violence. There'll be gore and some swearing but not much beyond that. If that changes, I'll warn you. MC: Shaya is analytical, but begins the story emotional and impulsive. She leans towards rationality and uses this to control her demonic impulses to the best of her abilities. She begins the story as a somewhat capable protagonist, but grows in power steadily through hard work and diligence. Fights: ...I like fight scenes. They’re going to be detailed, but I won’t drown you in description of individual hand movements or footwork. I like fights that can be solved like puzzles by the audience, where creative thinking wins the day using tools you know the protagonist has at their disposal.
