__________________
The magus and artificier faculty is centered on a right section tower that the second tallest on this whole academy. A high skybridge connect the tower at main building where headmaster lives and top section from this tower.
A group of people walk at this bridge. With an heavily armed knight and mages guarding this group. Lady agnis strode fast ahead leading this group. The wind blow at her cape make it slowly flutter.
A sturdy double door lies at the end of this bridge. Glistening with defensive enchantment. But just a casual wave from lady agnis make this door open.
"Come inside," lady agnis speak to this group.
Inside this door lies a livingquarter. Complete with its kichen, bath and few room to sleep.
"Kids, i'll say sorry ahead for your upcoming days. As all of you know, the creature that you face the other day had been touched by apocalypse. A contangius curse. We the council decide that you shall be quarantine a while to keep the other safe. You all required to stay here for three years, or at least till we sure you arent contracted with the curse." Lady agnis paused a while before continue, she's look hesitated while saying the last part of her speech.
"Please bear with this, be assured because we will do whatever we can to find a possible solution." This time an clear uncertainty feels stronger at her speech.
"This section of my tower shall be for your use. Three floor in total. You may not leave this area. A four disciple will be on standby, you can ask anything and we shall provide it if we can. And here a spirit summon to carry a letter for your use." Lady agnis snap his finger and a bluish squirel appear with a puff. "Please consider each letter you send, you know the implication with the apocalypse touch."

"Lady agnis" teacher gerrard cut lady agnis speech. "Two of the kids still missing, i'm pretty sure they are unharmed. If you c..."
"Yes yes, the missing kids. A seeker shall be dispached. Now Teacher gerrard, please watch over the kids. i should leave, please make yourself more comfortable." Lady agnis already stroll outside while she said this word. Leaving only a blueis glowing squirell that chirping happily.

Meanwhile at a forest near the academy walk another group. Smaller and less armed.
The hooded man had been walk together with tiara while carrying her friend for almost 4 hour. Within this four hour they had been attacked by a mutated forest animal few times, each time was repelled easily by the man.
Compared with the teacher gerrard and the rest of the student that was picked up by a cart and a knight of course theyre slower.
Following their journey and closer they are to the academy. tiara was getting more relaxed.
"So what is your name?" Ask tiara, this common question is always the most ankward question to ask, at least for her.
"A name huh?" This time the man answer with the same ankward manner as tiara question. He's been alone all he can remember. A name was something strange and somehow feels new for him.
"Why? is there a problem with your name?" She ask again, feels agitated this time. Tiara is rarely asking a name. Except someone that she deems important to remember.
"No, uh i mean yes there is. Btw do you really dont want a jerky?"
"Stop says jerky, its getting annoying. Dont be a jerk. Now back to name. What problem?" Tiara have an outburst this time, she's having a truly bad day before which make her a little sensitif.

"Sorry. I was joking. And uh, how do i say it, i dont have a name really." The man is feels bad about his bad joke, it's just his habbit to make a joke wherever he feels underpressure, such as meet with new people. And now he's feels confuse with explaining about how come he had no name which make it habbit more easy to comeout.
"Do you want to continue your silly game?" Tiara raise one of her eyebrow while stoping this time. "ah whatever, just thank you for your help back then" she's getting embarased for so persistent about asking his name, a personal information, not her business. Still, her anger from a consequetif bad jokes does not dissipate.
"Uh," his word stop, hanging. He was considering to tell her his story, he already worry about the first impression. now he had worried too about being branded as a liar if he decide to tell her his life story. He's sure he isnt living a normal life, comparing his life and his knowledge from his vision.
The man shake his thought off. Later he think, it will solved later. He then continue walking, following tiara closely.
"Give me some of that jerky" tiara stopped this time, asking him straight. She's felling bad for his action. Cut another person word. Says bad think about another person that he just meet. Expecially that person just happen to safe her before.
Hearing this the man smile a little, he then rumage his backpack a while, then toss a jerky toward tiara.
"Thank you" she said. Still stoping
"Youre welcome" the man said then walk.
"Thank you" this time tiara said the word slowly, while watching the man back this time. Then she walk forward and take over the man "This way, we re close".

Four story anthology
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] [participant in #NaNoWriMo] Preface: This fiction will contain four different stories set up as a challenge for myself and to get better at writing. The challenge for royal road writathon is a 55.555 word goal while the nanowrimo challenge is 50.000 words. Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! Chasing sun, napping softly: Cultivation/Xianxia genre. Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.
