Alexanders tries to write

Chapter 26: [Shift], [Names] and some small public flirting

"That covered [Affinities], now. Why did we bring this up?" Agatha asked the whole class.

This time, however, no one seemed to want to breach the question. At least till Akira got tired and said "You are finally going to tell us why they told us at the start of the year to not worry about our disguises?"

They what? Oh right, powereds had to come up with disguises. Not that Akira or Rena had taken too much effort into it, since Akira straight up only put on a Japanese uniform, whil...

A poll about Valentine's Day

Let me preface this with a few things, first...I do not celebrate this, never did, probs will never do.

Why is it important? It isn't, but I'm in a somewhat of a writter's block after my hurt hand (I sprained my right hand, I made a mention in RR but forgor to say so on patreon, tehe ;p) 

I am writting way slower than I usually do, you still have a backlog but it is taking me twice as long to write as before, dunno if its a mental block from me to try an...

Chapter 25: Classes, Skills and a random Level 45

"A skill was the very essence of what we could achieve, it was the way our mana interacted with the world and you could infer plenty of a [Hero] by what they did or used their [Skill]." Said Agatha to the class of around 80 people in the auditorium.

Elizabeth and Rossie sat somewhat close to the first line of seats, she wondered why those spots were open but Elizabeth decided to not think too much about it and sat herself there with Rossie at her side.

She was quite happy with the...

Chapter 24: [Michael] About the System and it's new Mages

The soulscape was a reflection of the Soul.

That was what I had read and what everyone said about it since my childhood, of course, I never understood it, or not till I finally got my first taste of [Wild Magic].

It occurred one summer when I was five, we were playing at the park, and as normal unruly kids someone decided that throwing ourselves down a hill with only skateboards as a way to move forward was the best way to spend that afternoon. I of course decided that I should go...

Chapter 23: There is a scale of trauma...And Elizabeth may be at a...5/7 or a 7/10

"Her name was Chloe Ashcroft, and she gave her life so I could live." Elizabeth started with the most important achievement Chloe had that affected her.

"So you had a sister?" Was the first question Rossie brought to her.

What?

Oh right, she was supposed to be Elizabeth Ashcroft according to this world's records. "No, my name was always Elizabeth Starbright. My father's last name was Brighton and my mother's maiden name was Starlight." She said with some trepidation, it seem...

Chapter 22: WE HAVE A JACUZZI! Also some warnings, but who cares? Not Rossie or Elizabeth at least

Turns out, that the accommodation was indeed better.

"We have a Jacuzzi now!" Rossie said from one of the multiple doors on their new apartment.

Unlike the one they had before this one was bigger, with a better living room, an actual kitchen, and not a kitchenette. Not that Elizabeth had ever used their kitchenette for something more than boiling water and frying some eggs.

Or boiling eggs and frying some water... She couldn't help but smirk at her own self-deprecating joke ...

Chapter 21: Right, I was a Genius....Also confessions in public and some findings.

So people seemed to have defaulted to using books to get the knowledge about spells, practice them till the system said [You learned enough, let us do the heavy lifting] and so they get a [Skill] like that.

That...Was kind of weird to her though.

"And see, if you study this and try to make the spell and get enough mastery of it the system will grant you [Magic Skill - Mana Shield]." Finished his explanation Michael, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

They had ...

Chapter 20: The horror....We have paperwork to do

She thought they would guide her towards the administration building, she even suspected that they would guide her towards the student council...

They didn't.

"We will settle most of the remaining paperwork here." Said Agatha while motioning at her to take a seat at a big table.

Michael had sat himself already and was reading a book, the crazy old man grunted while he walked to a wall and just pretended to be the cool old guy.

Agatha was just smiling at her while getti...

Chapter 19: The Fight didn't last that long....

The start of the fight had been...Boring, Michael just stood there on the other side looking at her with eyes full of interest, "Nothing?" He said.

Nothing indeed, she couldn't feel any mana in the area that wasn't remnants of her previous spell, some shadow mana lingered here and there, and while the dummies had been removed (As most of the students vacated the area quite hurried) some of her Lighting mana had lingered here and there.

And yet..."I am letting you get the first att...

Chapter 18: First place...And [Hero]'s Return

The Arena was silent, everyone seemed to have stopped talking as she focused inwardly and let her mana flow across her body, the crazy old man had at some point walked to the back end of the arena and just stared at her.

"Breath in...Breath out..." She whispered while she grew the amount of mana coursing through her body.

She needed to use every drop of mana for what she had planned, her mental model from before depended entirely on letting her shadows do their thing. They mostly ...

Chapter 17: FINALLY THE STUPID EXAM! [Part 1 - The Test]

"And here is where you will take your written exam." The guide said while pointing towards an open door.

His tone held no mocking undertone, her words held no animosity...But instead some pity...

She wasn't sure how to feel about it, unlike the first time there was no undercurrent hate on anyone she met, no hidden grudges thrown her way, and no expectations...

Instead, some held...Pity, that she found amusing, they expected her to fail. It was obvious in hindsight, she was t...

Chapter 16: Customs Officers, Magic Circles and some snuggles!

This had been boring, the travel back had been boring so far.

She had vague memories of almost a year back when they arrived and had that dramatic encounter with the customs officer who had been overly aggressive. So she had hyped herself to fight back any and all allegations thrown her way.

What did she get?

"Do you have anything to declare on your person or in a [Skill]?" A female customs officer asking her bland questions with a smile on her face, as if this was the most ...

So about vol 5....

Vol 5 is called [Heroes] as you may have noticed we have been seeing the other 3 heroes quite recently. As such the story kinda wants to show their pov...

I can skip them and keep showing them only as outside characters from Elizabeth's pov. 

But, there is the option to move into their shoes. What does this mean ?

That we could see at least how they felt about the induction and how they see the world after it.

Now, too m...

Chapter 15: Did you achieve everything you wanted? No? Well let's go anyway.

She made it...Barely.

She spent the previous four months running around doing things, going to get trained in a gym by a professional [Trainer], those were a thing it seems. Running in races because that helped build better control over her [Agility], she did need to either wear a limiter or participate in those other [Metahumans] joined.

Now that anyone could be a [Metahuman] the word didn't hold as much animosity as before, since you only needed to break free from the [Civilian]...

Chapter 14: We prepare for the [Glorious return]!

She was tired, so tired...Everything hurt, nothing was worth it, armies could be shattered at her front door, worlds may as well burn for all she cared...

Only one thing was sure on Elizabeth's mind, vengeance would be hers...She would bathe in the blood of thousands if it was needed, but she would have her holy revenge!

"Eli-Eli what are you thinking about with that creepy smile?" Rossie asked while punctuating her statement by squishing harder.

"Gyaaah, I surrender! I will...

Chapter 13: Excercise, school drop outs and dangerous pink-haired beings!

So I'm not registered?" So it would seem she was no longer a student.

"I'm sorry miss, your registration wasn't registered in the grace period offered by the school." The woman on the other side of the line answered, tone neutral. "We offered two months for any change on your status from the [System], but neither you nor your Guardians/Parents, sent anything. So we marked you as non-interested."

A sigh escaped her mouth, "Yeah...Did you try to contact my parents to ask?" She said ...

Chapter 12: The return of our [Heroes]!

She was in a pinch, was it because her status was way below the average?

No, she was actually above average since most civilians refused to level beyond level 1 as far as she had found out when walking the streets of the city.

Was it because she had a bad [Job]?

No, she had found that most people with levels above 2-3 had actually normal variants of jobs, so she was on the better side... Not that it mattered, as far as she could tell from her [Appraisal] results most had the...

Chapter 11: Plans, skills, titles and new status!

"So I should focus on getting skills and a [Job] then?" Asked Elizabeth while thinking about the skill parts of her status.

It read now [Job Skills: 3] [General Skills: 2] [Title Skill: 2], it was more concise, even if it listed 3 skills as job skills...While she was jobless. "Why do I have Job Skills if I don't have a Job?" Elizabeth added to her list of questions.

"Those skills are or will influence your job in some way, you could probably move them to [General Skills] if you wa...

Chapter 10: Dramatic Revelations!

This wasn't what she wanted, this wasn't at all what she wanted to see next. Not because she wanted to deny this had happened, no such thing. She did want to come clean with it...

"Anything the matter Eli-Eli?" But because it meant that she would need to come clean with this part of herself, and that required more bravery than she was willing to have.

But then again, "Eli-Eli?" Rossie did come clean too right?

She did it ready for her to throw her away, to be despised, screa...

Chapter 9: Rossieception...This couldn't....What is this?

"One foot in front of the other, yes, like that..." She was tired, "Just a few more minutes...almost there Eli-Eli." Very tired.

And Rossie didn't seem to want to let her rest yet, she was supposed to walk at least half an hour each day for her recovery...Why? She wasn't sure. She could walk just fine.

She had enough points in the constitution to prove it. But even so, she was made to walk like this, at least her sweat didn't make her look gross...Somehow.

Her charisma seeme...

Chapter 8: You will not run away from me!

"She is fine and should start moving on," the doctor said after finishing his examination. "I would advise to increase her status evenly for now since I don't know what they are..."

The doctor hadn't been allowed to see her status, Rossie had cast some nasty wards and spells on the doctor and on her to make sure the man kept his eyes to himself. "I will not allow you to see them," And spoke icily at the man.

"Sorry Doc, she gets grabby like that." Elizabeth found it quite amusing ...

Chapter 7: Here comes the airplane ♪ ♥

She was asleep, floating in a void space, her body felt weak, her breath came ragged and her limbs held no strength. She couldn't even muster the control to move her mana, was this the result of overusing the smidgen of mana she had after waking up?

"It was worth it." She couldn't help herself and smile at Rossie's face.

The girl was a mess and looked like she was about to cry when their eyes met, she couldn't help it, looking back at all the small moves Rossie had done across the...

Chapter 6: [Rossie] Welcome back....

The week had started normally enough, she went to the outside and worked as [Healer] for some other boring corpo that had more money than sense. Ripped out some extras from pretending to grow their new organs, grinded some new [Skills] to try and get a nice bonus before trying to [Heal] Elizabeth...

Then she started to show signs of waking up, "So?" She burned some money to get a [Doctor] to come in and check her up at the first sign she started to wake up.

"Her brain waves seem t...

Chapter 5: Why did you even come then?!? Also a Kiss

She started small, first, what was in front of her, she felt her mana and how it reacted with everything around her apartment. Within it, she felt [More] kinda similar to how it was around the basement where her former self had floated inside the pod.

But outside the apartment? It was desolated, and while the atmosphere wasn't hostile. It wasn't welcoming, only the black flames seemed to welcome her, but now that she knew those were tempering the place... Yeah,...

Chapter 4: YOU SPEAK!?!?

She was on the ground nursing a headache, a headache that was almost as bad as if a monkey had drummed her head like bongos all night...For a week.

At least she now knew who she was and how she had ended here...And it only took her a month of constant pain and suffering!

Why had it hurt her so much if those were her memories anyway?

She would understand it if the memories had been from someone else. Like she would have understood if she had suffered a headache when the skill...

Chapter 3: I hate it here.

The room she found herself in was a dilapidated library, metallic bookshelf thrown around on the floor, books missing pages, and in some cases dirty with blood.

The library's size was imposing, and the material of the bookshelves seemed to be of good quality. The lighting allowed good illumination all over the place, there were even some PC stations on the side for quick searches into the database of the library.

She was currently sitting in one of those, reading a very bland and ...

It was a misunderstanding!
