《Living in my Own World!》Chapter 4 - School Life (Part 1)
Advertisement
I woke up to a door being opened. I didn't feel that good, because I never feel good when I have a nap. I looked at the well-built man with curiosity filling me.
"Oh, hello, who are you?" I asked, my head tilted to the right.
"You're one of three other roommates I suppose? Okay, my name is Chad Greenman of the Marquis Greenman family, and you?"
"I'm Kas Ravenwood, 2 years old." I was having fun with it at this point.
"T-two? Ravenwood? An exiled noble family? Oh wow. Your family was an Earl family at one point, right? And also, how did you even get into the academy? Do you not need to be at least 5 years old?" The noble asked these questions in less than 5 seconds. He was speaking so fast, I couldn't even keep up. My underdeveloped brain!
"Okay, firstly, calm down, secondly, yes, Ravenwood. Third, I do not know how I got in, I was just accepted by the Headmaster."
"I see. Wait, the Headmaster? Not any of the Recruiters?" In this Academy, the students are chosen by the Recruiters, a group of staff that accept students in or not. The Headmaster is one of them but he is also the Head Recruiter, and everyone who was accepted by him grew up to be one of the greatest adventurers of all time. People say he has a Magical Eye, others say he is just good at telling talented people from untalented.
Magical Eyes are very sought after in this world, from the Magical Eyes of Talent to the Magical Eyes of True Sight. The Talent eye can see talent in every person and sees their potential in colors. True Sight eyes can see people who are invisible, and the only counter is a Level 7 spell known as "True Stealth," which hides the caster and the people touching the caster as well as muffling any sound and removing any trace of themselves. The only counter to that is an All-Seeing Barrier, which can sense when someone enters it no matter what.

My father told me to take a look at the library 3 weeks into training, so I did. Man is there a lot of good things there.
"Yeah, that's right."
"Wait, THE HEADMASTER?!" The seemingly calm-looking man was not calm, after all.
"Yes, the Headmaster," I replied for the umpteenth time.
"Okay, fine. School's starting tomorrow, by the way. You missed the assembly."
Now it was my turn to be not calm.
"I WHAT?!" I didn't even realize there was an assembly. And I slept through it?! Why didn't the receptionist tell me? Well, to be honest, probably just to get rid of me.
With a sigh, I looked back at the man. I stepped from my bed with a yawn.
"Ugh, oh well. It doesn't matter much."
"We'll be getting our schedule soon, too."
As if on time, a noise could be heard all throughout the dorms, a sound of metal meeting something softer. I noticed a small crack in the roof, and I heard the 'softer item' coming into that, so I just waited. Then it came down, the piece of paper came from the little crack in the roof.

Dismissal
I stared at the piece of paper with my jaw hitting the floor. 9 hours and 30 minutes of school. Can you imagine? Sighing, I put it in my bag that I brought from home. It was a fairly large bag, not big yet not small. I put most of the books I need in my bag and then lifted it with Wind Magic, Levitate which I created. I added a condition so that it follows me, too, and I also put a barrier around my bag, for security. It was a basic alarm system so that if someone was stealing something I would find out easily.
"8 periods, huh," Chad said with a sigh. "Let's do our best, I'll be aiming for the top!"
"I will too! Also, weren't we supposed to have more roommates?" I questioned the 2 bunk beds since we most likely only needed 2 normal beds.
"I think so, but I guess not. I don't know, maybe I'll ask later."
I nodded and went out to explore the academy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I saw quite a few people outside of the 'Cafeteria' building. I decided to walk over to see what the commotion was all about, but I had already guessed what it was. They were all circling two dudes who seemed like they were fighting. Wanting to show off a little, I intervened.
"Hey, musclebrains. Lay off the fighting would ya?"
"What did you say, twerp?! I'll beat your tiny brain out of your head!" One of the fighters said. For whatever reason, he aimed a punch at my head. I just caught it without flinching, which was apparently a bad idea.
Once more, the instigator tried to punch me, and I caught his other fist.
With little effort, I threw him over by the fountain out front. The cafeteria was similar to the main building, except for the words 'Cafeteria' out front, and the fact that it is very small in comparison.
"D-did he just take down a person with S potential?!" A random bystander said. I flinched at that. Did I accidentally show off too much? Wincing, I walked away while everyone was still frozen. With that, I turned around and ran for my dorm again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In my spacious room, I was practicing and learning some magic. Over the past few hours, I've been trying to make as many spells as possible in preparation for the Practical Exam that was going to happen on the first day. The Practical Exam was an exam that tests a persons ability and potential. At the same time, I was trying to find a way to conceal my true potential, but I had no such luck doing so. With yet another sigh, my fifth one today or more, I learned about Flying Tornado, a version of Wind Tornado that made a tornado in mid-air, to help with any airborne enemies.
I also learned about Time Magic, a Special Magic that could reverse, accelerate, or stop time altogether, and alongside its brother Space Magic, I learned how to make a Spatial Holding Bag. The Spatial Holding Bag was a Divine-grade item, and better bags, such as mine, were Ancient-grade Artifacts. I shuddered at my own ability.
I had a pretty successful day, and Chad was still somewhere else, but nonetheless, I decided to halt my practice for the day and get an early rest for tomorrow's classes.

ROACH- rising pestilence
A weary mind awakens in an unfamiliar body, lost, confused, scared, and very far from home. He doesn't know where he is, he isn't sure what he may become, and his stomach growls hungrily. But he knows one thing. He must feed and he isn't too bothered on how, only when. Through his struggles to survive trying to take his place in this world. It, the world will be forever changed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My first story here so let's do it! hopefully with flying colors. (This story is not about an insect that goes on an edgelord, death rampage, so those who came for that, know now what you are reading and stop rating down thx, still, some murder and mayhem is involved) Feel free to critique, I will be checking on reviews and comments every now and then to see what others think of my writing and how I might adjust it in the future. (although I'm also doing this for fun so don't get your knickers in a twist if things don't change to your liking). (Know that even if you comment/review that doesn't mean I will respond or that I will take your advice, after all, I too have my own preferences). A chapter tends to come out every fortnight, however sometimes it may be sooner or later, It depends on how lazy I'm feeling or how busy I am. Ps. A friend of mine drew the cover art, appreciate its homebrew goodness. PPs. serious readers may want to read the author's notes as well. PPPs. If you rate down please say why, I want info, not merely ratings that don't tell me anything, preferably in comments, so I can try to best satisfy my audience, or at the very least understand their reasons.

Up In Space
New chapter every other day Iain Compton never planned to be abducted by an alien spaceship. It just… happened. And now he’s been awakened 22,000 years in the future and half a galaxy away by a pair of oddly human seeming beak nosed aliens and a space ship A.I. that seems to have more than a few screws loose. Oh, and then there's this gorgeous alien woman who he probably shouldn’t trust at all. His plan is to find a way home to Earth, even if its unlikely to be remotely the same; to find a better class of companions among an often strange and inexplicable galactic community, at least one who won’t use him or sell him out at the first opportunity; and to do something about the parasites in his brain who are supposed to connect him to a library the size of the galaxy, but seem to only be telling him that almost everyone and everything he comes across wants to kill him. But at least he can still send tweets.
