《Judah Judas Adventures》Chapter 56 - Brothers Flint - Part 2
Advertisement
Me and with Louis, we have arrived at the training grounds and there we come to a decision, to train for the mission on this night. This mission will be important to me because this is the first mission I am doing without Fiona, but with two guys named Louis and Lucian, which seems to be good guys to rely on and fight on their side.
Lucian and Louis are also known as Brothers Flint, those brothers duos are good chemistry in fighting because one is controlling magic and the other one is using his bade to chop the enemy into half or cutting through them. This team will probably be good for capturing one significant member of the enemy Kingdom, now let's see how things will go when we will arrive at that part.
When we have arrived at the training grounds, Louis and I have seen a few soldiers testing their arrows skills on some targets which are composed of logs painted in circles and some other warriors are using swords, daggers, or even spear in fighting mannequins consisting of sacks of expired potatoes, wooden buckets as helmets and having wooden swords on sticks that are tied to that body around them.
Louis takes the wand from his right sheath, and he aimed at one mannequin who is located in one of the trees where the archers or wizards are aiming at the targets. After that, Louis says "Shotgun" and a few little rocks are coming from the wand and launched to the targets. All the rocks that were launched are fast travelling a big distance through that target. In just a matter of seconds, the little rocks have hit the target, but they didn't do much damage to the target.
"Have you ever used this spell?" says Louis looking at me and preparing the next shot to the next mannequin.
"No. I have never heard about this one." I respond to Louis. "Plus, it didn't do much damage to the target."
"That's because the target was far from me. If the target will be much closer, the damage will be much bigger... Look!" Louis aimed a closer mannequin without blades or any armour on him like the rest of them.
That mannequin is much closer than the first one. If I have to precise, it could be somewhere at three or five meters distance between us, and the first one was at almost eighteen, or twenty-four meters. But, if the thing Louis has said earlier is true, that means the mannequin will be blown away if he will shoot at that distance.

Louis aimed at that direction with his wand, and then he shouted "Shotgun!". Then, a dozen little rocks come out from his wand and flies directly to that closer mannequin and blown the chest of the mannequin and his helmet. Louis wasn't that impress by that shoot, but I really was because this spell is one of the most powerful I have ever seen. Technically, I have overpowered spells too, but this one is wonderful. I really need to learn this spell.
"How do you learn this spell?" I ask Louis which was about to shoot other dozens of little rocks into another mannequin.
"Spell books, kid. You can find this spell in any book for beginner in wizards and magicians." says Louis after he shot other dozens of little rocks but this time in another mannequin which was at almost thirty-two meters and didn't do much damage to his body. "Anyway, do you know about the "Far Shot" spell?"
"No."
"Watch then."
"Alright."
Then, Louis aimed with his wand one of the farthest mannequins in this training ground. The target was probably at almost one hundred meters or somewhere at that value. This wouldn't do anything if you'll use the spell named "Shotgun", but Louis was using another spell, who could probably do much damage than the previous one.
"Far Shot!" yelled Louis and then a red light comes from his wand, who travels fast to the target and then hits that target.
When the spell has hit the target, I and Louis Flint have observed that the spell has ignited the mannequin and causing on the entire thing fire. I looked at Louis, and I was really amazed by the fact that he can use a spell-like this. I really wanted to know those spells, but I have never seen spells like those in the spell book I possess.
"How was it?"
"Incredible." I say to Louis.
"Now. Can you show me what can you do?"
"Well... I don't really know how to use the spells that you have used."
"Not those. I mean the one you got... That spell named "Fireball" was an interesting one if I have to say. It took me an entire month to develop that spell, and you could do it at your age. It is really impressive. Can you show some spells like that, young wizard?"

"S-Sure." I say to Louis feeling like someone has addressed me a compliment for the first time, which is really that feeling.
I take the wand from the strap I always carry because I need something to hold the wand, and if I were to keep it in my backpack that I carry almost every day, there would be a risk of breaking it. broken is extremely difficult to repair. From what I heard from Diana ...
***
"So how many days you think it will take to create a wand?" I asked her while both of us were on a mission to deliver some meat to the butchers around the kingdom.
"Now depends on what model you wanted to have it." responds Diana to my question after we take the turn while we are carrying an entire cart with bear meat.
"How many models are today?"
"Hm... This is a tough question. But I can certainly say that they are almost... one hundred and fifty thousand or maybe more than this number."
"O-One hundred a-and fifty thousand?!" I said being surprised at the thing Diana told me back then. "And what happens if one wand is getting broken?"
"Simple. They have to be repaired by a blacksmith in magic arts because sending a broken wand to a normal blacksmith is pointless. Repairing a wand requires magic, and I can't do that because I am a warrior, just like Fiona."
"But I didn't see you using a sword in a fight."
"I don't need a sword. As long as I have the crossbow, nothing will pin me down."
"I-I understand."
***
I point my wand at one of the twelve random targets. Specifically, I aimed it at a target to the left of a very old tree and began casting the "T.N.T." spell to that target. In just a matter of seconds, the target there has blown away, and make a few pieces of the mannequin scrambled around the area. Some of those pieces were thrown with fire on them, others were just simply thrown somewhere, but without on fire, and one of them, has hit a guy who was just standing and looked at the training ground, But that guy didn't hurt anything and left the place, just to be safe that nothing will hit him while he ain't caution.
"That was the "T.N.T." spell?"
"Aha!" I say to Louis which made him feel amazed by my talent.
"I am still learning that spell, and you could do it in a matter of seconds. How you did it?"
"I-I didn't do anything. I was just using the spell one time and that's it, I could do the spell."
"Dude. Your spell will really be useful in the strategy of breaking in."
"What do you mean? ain't the plan to go smoothly?"
"Well... It will be much better if we just break in take someone as a hostage and then run away with him to the camp, and there, we will have to defend our base against some wussy who can't even fight, and even noble warriors are much stronger than them."
"Here... You are probably wrong?"
"Why though?"
"The nobles are too scared to fight, they will immediately lose when they will see an enemy approaching them one meter."
And then, both of us have laughed at the noble families. Those families shouldn't even be allowed to come here in the first place if they didn't expect a few fierce fights against our enemies.
I have decided to use my wand again and this time, just to perfect my timing to shoot things. And Louis has decided to come along with me in this shooting training which has transformed into a race later on, and of course, I have lost the race because Louis is a far more experienced wizard than me or maybe Emily if it comes to strong spells, but the race between me and him consisted into whoever shot much faster.
In almost eighteen minutes of training on this area, Lucian, Louis Brothers, come to us and told us to go to our houses and prepare for the fight which will be in a few hours, and so we are doing, we are going back to our houses and sleep until the time when we will infiltrate into enemy territory will arrive.

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.

The Unsorcerer
DISCLAIMER: The cover pic is not my original work. Credits goes to the Illustrator. This is a story of a man named Cipher, a 21st Century man reincarnated in a world where magic is the way of life. In the continent of Iarica, the people of this land are able to wield the crystals or magic stones for whatever purpose they desire. These people are called "Sorcerers", blessed individuals who are favored by the Gods and gifted with an ability to manipulate "Mana", the energy of the World and the energy source that makes all of the machines run. Cipher in contrast, is not. He is an "Unsorcerer", a person unable to wield the crystals and mana and eventually magic itself. Because of this "defect", he is shunned, ridiculed, and abused by most people and eventually by the whole society. Little did Iarica and her denizens know, this so-called reject of society is more than what he seems... Note: This humble Author-san is not a native English speaker, so there will be grammatical errors. Also the chapters are short, about 1K words. However I will try my best efforts on reaching the 2k-4k words threshold. Another note is that this will be a Harem fic, so to anyone who are not fan of the genre this may not be your cup of tea. Any criticsm are welcome as long it can help me to improve my writing skills since I'm just a newcomer in this scene.
