Now it was all or nothing, I had to leave no holes and connect everything with some perfectly logical context in order to survive. "I'm someone just like you. I'm only a servant to the lord. However, I was sent to test you, and you passed!" "There's no way you expect me to believe that, right?" I sighed again. "No, I guess not, then allow me to start from the beginning." She nodded. "As I already said, similar to you I am just a servant. But you already knew that right?" She remained silent. "I…-

Stupefied I tried to make sense of what was happening. Currently, Miss Smith, a teacher at Griffin, an extremely strong warrior, and seemingly straightforward character was kneeling before me, calling me lord. This was not what I had planned in the slightest. My end goal was simply for Miss Smith to think that I was stronger than I really was. Then after revealing some of my secrets it would be easier to make use of her. I wouldn't have to hide everything and by having everything out on the table…

As Miss Smith was staring daggers at me I rushed to think of any possible excuse but nothing came to mind. There was no way I'd be able to play it off. After all, I went from barely being able to stand to being full of energy. At first, I only used it because if I didn't I would lose precious time. But now that I'm thinking back on it, doing so was a major blunder. This was a huge shortcoming that happened because, for a split second, I was too tired and weak. Mentally abusing myself I made a note to…

Having the full extent of Miss Smith's attention I began my proposition. "As I've already said, I need an instructor. Although it's nothing like what you are thinking. You see I happened to come across a… technique. This technique will allow me to reach highs I've never thought possible. However, the only problem is that this technique doesn't improve my senses or engrave reaction times into my body. The only thing I know how to do is swing the sword but even that I am poor at." While I tried my…

While leaving the infirmary I realized that all of my classes were over for the day leaving my schedule completely open. This left me with two no, three options: turn Griffin inside out, shatter the economy, or become a sword master. Either of the decisions I made would have everlasting effects and cause irreversible damage. As I thought through the choices I could make I realized that there was only one option that would have the most meaningful impact. That was to become a sword master. The other…

My head went numb. 'I like you.' Repeating what the girl said over and over in my head my ears began to ring. 'I like you.' But I could even begin to process what she meant Charlotte went on a rant. "I know you said to wait to find out how I truly feel but I know how I felt even back then, I was just too scared to say it out loud." '…' "I know it's really soon but I felt us click as soon as we met. At first I thought it was just because of your pretty face and that it was my hormones going…

As two options were laid before me where I could either reveal some secrets and tell a few lies to increase my favor with one of the main characters or destroy any bridges that might connect us I was stumped. It was still too early to have someone as strong and with great potential be an enemy of mine so I didn't necessarily want to hurt Willow but I sure as hell wasn't going to get all buddy-buddy with her. Therefore I chose a third option. I let out a sigh before responding to Willow who was…

With the battle concluded Willow's two other teammates — who were unconscious — got medical assistance while mine ran up to me giving praise. "Dude, how did you survive Willow's attacks?" "Yeah and how terrifying was that last attack of hers? I almost pissed myself and I wasn't even the one who the attack was directed at!" "Just how lucky are you? I thought for sure that it was the end for you!" As they bombarded me with questions I quickly tried to answer them. "My luck is just really good,…

As the Mana chaotically surged around the room until coming under Willow's control my heart rate dangerously increased. Although I saw what happened when I glimpsed into the future, facing it in real life couldn't compare. The pure power within the attack was not something I could deal with. A single brushing against the aura would at best kill me, and at worst… there would be nothing left. Shuddering at the realization I was way over my head I sent my thoughts into overdrive as I tried to come up…

The moment I heard "fight" I sprung into action to play my part. "Willow is a bitch!" Screaming as loud as I could I was sure that anyone in the hallway would be able to hear me even through the soundproofing and metal door. Those who were in the classroom including the teacher, assistants, peers, and Willow herself found themselves hearing my cuss at full blast. As the shock spread, the battle that really hadn't begun came to a halt. My two other teammates looked back at me in a mix of pity and…
