《The adventures of a disowned duke's daughter》


 Prologue

    In a country where its borders touch the sea, there is a giant castle, in the center of a grand hall of that castle a beautiful teenage girl is standing. She have beautiful sky blue hair that goes down to her shoulders and pink diamond eyes, her face has a slight frown for the seriousness in her face that made difficult to approach, around her there were people that were wearing high-class clothes and were whispering to themselves.


    Above these people, a man with blond almost white short hair and piercing blue eyes, he has a big crown on his head made of gold and is wearing a black outfit with some touches of white, a fancy sword and around his shoulders a red cape with the white cotton part in the edges. At the man''s side, a young woman with emerald green eyes stood. Just like her counterpart, this lovely vision''s hair was like spun sunshine and a golden tiara sat comfortably upon her temple, the only difference is that she has emerald eyes instead of the blue. She is wearing a fancy red dress with makeup that made her skin as white as porcelain.


    They''re both sitting on thrones made of gold, under them a red carpet that goes through the middle of the room, only a step before the girl with blue hair and pink eyes.


    The blue-haired girl had her hair in a mess, she had handcuffs and a beautiful fancy dress that is now in a dirty condition. Still, with all this one could say that the girl is beautiful.


    In a corner of the hall far away from the rest of people, a group of young boys and girls could be seen, four teenage boys, and four teenage girls. One boy has the same color of hair and eyes as the king, the other has the same blue hair and pink eyes as the girl in the center of the hall, the other boy has his hair and eyes of color green, the last boy has red long hair tied in a ponytail with eyes deep brown color, he wears glasses and have an aura of a wise man. The constitution of their bodies is slim excluding the boy with green hair and eyes, in him could be seen that his clothes seem tight to him, not because of fat, but muscles under it.


    The girls all of them looked so frail that with a light push they will break, one girl has her long hair like the first man and the king, but her eyes are emerald green resembling the queen, she is close to the man of the same blue hair and pink eyes as the girl in the center, the next girl has pink long curly hair with green eyes, she is close to the man with red hair and brown eyes, the next girl has light purple hair in two vertical rolls he is with the man with green hair and eyes and the last one is a girl with short black hair and deep brown eyes, she is the most eye seeing of the group.


    One for being the only person with black hair, the second because in that place, if you excluded the blue hair girl, is the person with the lowest type of clothes in room and the third is because it could be said that she is the most beautiful of the group probably her beauty could only be only comparable to the blue hair girl, but with her soft expression and an aura of kindness around her she seems more approachable than the blue hair girl, this girl is with the boy that have the same type of hair and eyes as the king.Love what you''re reading?

    After some time the king raised his hand to silence the room and started to talk.


    ¡°Since it seems that the person is not voicing her innocence and the proofs of culpability were founded, I the king, sentence Diana Gardwell to exile, you are not welcome in this country anymore, and if you are not out of my country before the day after tomorrow you will be thrown into prison¡±


    With this, the life of Diana Gardwell becomes filled with sadness and sorrows¡­¡­


    Or that is how the story would end, but not mine.


    Well, this is only a way to remember my road to this victory, so I can taste it in a better way.


    First, my ¡°real name¡± is Rocky McLaren, I was a high school student in Phoenix Arizona, my family moved to it a month ago. Since I was new in the city and my classes started some days ago after we moved I was in a pretty much go home after school situation, or that would be, but my parents are the type who want me to do something in my free time, so they forced me since kid to practice in something, since they let me decided I choose two things, one was music, the other was martial arts.


    If I were to know that these two choices will mark my life that moment I would choose something different, but since the past can''t go back I decided to make the most with what I have right now the instrument I used to practice music was the piano and this decision was surely nothing to do with my piano teacher and her great¡­...personality.


    Martial arts was because there was a place that taught it close to my house, when it started I thought that I would still the same free time to play video games, see the TV, anime and read books than before.


    I was wrong.


    When I go to martial arts I never know that a hellish training was awaiting me, there was a great amount of muscle building training, stretches to grow my flexibility, a great amount of time doing the same move over and over again and the worst was that I need a specific diet to go with the training.


    All of that started when I was five years old and when I become Diana Gardwell I already had sixteen years, I hoped that my days were still the same as usual. I am not the type of guy that says he is dissatisfied with his life, actually, I had a good one, but all that ended and in the most unthinkable way for me, I mean, if it was the clich¨¦ truck dead event or the summoning magic I would accept it more or less, but no.


    What happened really is that I was playing an otome game, after I ended the game to 100% after five days worth of playing I go to sleep in my bed, that''s all I remember, the next time I go out of bed I was in the body of a little girl of three years old, apparently it was under a heavy fever, and the name of that little girl is Diana Gardwell, the main villainess in the very game that I ended.


    Since then, I been lived as Diana Gardwell until now, close to my fourteen birthday and now by the king''s decree expulsed of the country and disowned of my family.


    Just as planned, I was hoping to be exile since young.


    The reason is very simple, I was a healthy sixteen years old boy that go transported to the body of a little girl a noble no less, I don''t want to get married to a man, that feels gross, but the true reason is that...I don''t want to give birth!

 Game

    I was recommended a certain otome game by some friend, he said it will trap me to know all of the characters stories, he was right.


    It was my first time playing an otome game and I like the dramatic stories these characters have, the crown prince with no interest in the girls that go after him for his position, the son of the royal mage who is the mute and shy type, the son of the royal knights captain he is the serious type who not let his work be affected by his personal life, and the son of the prime minister and member of one of the duke households who have a sweetheart under a mask of coldness.


    There are the four capture characters and as usual the main character is the commoner with great amount of magical power and that is capable of doing some type of complicated magic, with his innocent way of thinking and always thinking the people are good, that before she entered the royal school were normally only nobles go to learn and polish their abilities and create connections.


    The usual plot, the commoner being harassed by the nobles, and she finds help with the capture characters so her life can be a ¡°they lived happily ever after¡±, the things is that you actually needed to put close attention and remember the conversations so the capture targets fall in love with you, including the little whispers that they unknowingly say.


    The game is called ¡°The way to enter your heart¡± in this otome you play as Alisa, the commoner with big magical power and great intellect, you get to the royal academy with a scholarship because your abilities can be of great use by the country, in the academy you encounter the four capture characters and is up to you to take one of the four routes and the difficulty go up from the prime minister, then the royal knights captain son, next is the son of the royal mage and the final is the prince.


    Actually this game was the big deal, there were not only the normal routes ends, there was also the reverse-harem route and after you complete these you could go to the rival route, that is to go and made almost all the rivals to fall in love, making a yuri route and a yuri harem route, the almost is because the last rival, by all means, is the character with the most common sense.


    First she knows her responsibility as a noble''s daughter that is to continue their bloodline so her house can work for the kingdom, and if Alisa keep doing this, a great part of the noble houses will never have an heir to continue their noble duty, because the rivals are actually noble''s daughters including the rival of the prince route, this will make a dispute for their family''s land creating havoc around the nobles, second she knows that actually if Alisa married the prince as the queen the other commoners will go asking Alisa for work at the royal castle making an easy way to infiltration and to take important positions where they know nothing of what to do, making the stability of the country fall down to poverty, this is said in the normal prince route.


    In the final part of this route Alisa the ignorant girl go back all depressed since her attempt failed, but the other girls already in the hands of Alisa had the conviction to made the impossible for her, they intrude in the bedroom of the final rival only to use magic and hypnotism to control her, the next day the last rival go to Alisa and ¡°by magic¡± she confessed to her and go to live a life of love as merchants in another country that not disapprove of same-gender marriages .Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    Actually ¡°The way to enter your heart¡± is a 18+ game, in some essenes after you go to complete the game 100% appeared hidden essenes in key events of the routes, the intrusion essenes is one and is actually one of the reasons why is 18+, After the other rivals managed to hypnotize the last rival, the other three vent their frustration with her, in the worst possible ways, thankfully the only thing that comes to view was an image of the start and the end of the event, that were the last rival kneeling naked in front of the other three while they were sitting in a bed with evil smiles and the end was of the last rival tied up in bondage type with a rope, her hands in her back and the legs bended in a way that her feet can touch her butt, her body was covered in bruises all over her body the bed covered in some strange liquid while the other three were going out of the room.


    Anyway, when all the other routes were completed it becomes available one final route, that route was named ¡°The true route¡±, this final route came with the possibility to not only capture the characters there was an option to help the other capture and rival characters to end together except the final rival, this route only could have a happy ending if you can put together the first three capture characters and rivals and at the same time you made the last one, the prince, fall in love with you.


    In that route without reason there were letters with advice, secret information of the capture characters and Words of encouragement to help Alisa and the other girls to get the capture characters, actually who is the sender of these letters was a mystery since the release of the game, the most reasonable was that the letters were of a big fish, like the king, the principal or a teacher and the most impossible is there were student seeing all this under the shadows that wanted to help Alisa by an unknown reason.


    At the end of that route since the duke households become stronger with the addition of the guys in the family and Alisa could get a happy life with the prince in the kingdom until her death


    The last rival was sentenced to exile, her family disowned her and when she goes to another country was captured by bandits and raped only to be sold as a slave after it.


    Basically a situation exactly like mine, and that is because I am exactly that last rival, Diana Gardwell and the girls and guys in the corner of the hall are the other rival characters, Alisa and the four capture characters, my brother Luther Gardwell of the duke Gardwell household and the next on the line to be a prime minister, Nicholas Wylymot son of the Royal knights captain, Harvey Breton son of the royal mage, and last is prince Simon Emory Aimeri the next king and the most powerful person in this country excluding the king, queen, and actual prime minister.


    The other rivals are Cecilia Albree an Earl''s daughter, Alicia Mirabelle a Baronet''s daughter and Susanna Ameline another duke''s daughter.


    The couples are Luther and Cecilia, Alicia and Nicholas, Susanna and Harvey and the last are Simon and Alisa.


    And now since my plan is complete I can throw the Facade of the noble girl and be myself again!

 Preparations

    Since the time I know I was Diana Gardwell, a noble of the country Emory and as a common knowledge nobles need to be dignified, I put a mask under my face, a figurative mask made of emotionless and dignity, with this I made it to be the same as Diana Gardwell so there were not differences in the way the people act around me, with that done the prince will never see me as someone that can be considered to be a potential marriage partner, but since acting as someone else is actually difficult, I practice in my room when no one saw me, and when all things started to go as the actual story I started to put in march my master plan!


    Well, my "master" plan was simple, what I did was doing exactly what Diana Gardwell will do in the game, I will interact the same as Diana Gardwell and will react as Diana Gardwell. That was a difficult thing since I am not good at acting, also, the person that was supposed to send the letters never appear in the right moments, but I was prepared and I wrote the letters myself and sent them. I interacted with other people to learn how to survive in the outside world and train with what I know in the moments that I could.


    But I could forget about all the important factors in the game when I was a child, because of that I ask for a pen, a pen made of a birds feather, ink, and paper, with all still fresh in my mind, a mind of a three years old girl that can be distracted so easily, but since I was in complete control I go and wrote all of this in a paper.


    Since in this world the common letters are in Latin I could write all in English and no one will understand it since English is more a Germanic language than a Latin-based one if someone sees it he would only think of my writings as childish scribbles and go on with his day.


    When I grow up, I was like Diana Gardwell, beautiful looks, a still growing chest, dignified posture and something that can be said to be a sharp look between a frown in my face, yeah, like that my surroundings thought that I would torture a commoner by only crossing my way.


    But to make the people select me when someone searches for a culprit for the harassment to Alisa I made it so she goes and enamored prince Simon, then in the shadows I helped prince Simon go to help her and gain Alisa''s heart. The same with the other three girls and their partners, in the process I would have all the necessities to go out of the country when the time comes.


    But with the differences in social status in some cases things become really difficult, but thankfully all go well. The easiest to pair were Luther and Cecilia, if Cecilia weren''t the daughter of the queen''s sister it would be disastrous, then it comes with Alicia and Nicholas, a royal knight is the spot with the least prestige in the nobility so it was really easy to pair the both since being a Baronet''s daughter was not that up in the nobility level, then it comes with pairing Susanna and Harvey, excluding Simon and Alisa they are the most difficult to pair, being the son of the royal mage is quite impressive, but is nothing if you can''t inherit the job, so I make sure he work to the bone to have it and not have complications in the future.


    Alisa and Simon?, well it wasn''t socially acceptable but with the other couples protection and the hardworking Simon made it easier. Still all the work making them end together was exhausting, basically, all the people had a word to say against it, if not that I moved to shut them up it would end in a big mess.This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.


    Still, with some setbacks here and there the plan went well and now I can go without a worry, the kingdom will do well since apart of the position of the queen the other positions of power are now of the other characters and will work hard to help Alisa and the kingdom will prosper.


    But that''s my plan for them, for me, I trained myself for the outside world, I decided to train in secret my body so I can be strong enough to blow away the teeth of an adult in one blow, I practice the martial arts that I used when I was Rocky McLaren a thing that was hard to do without someone noticing, after all, I was supposed to be the next queen.


    That means that I needed to go through the hellish quen training, actually after knowing of the queen training I said my apologies for saying that martial arts training is hellish, god, all the graceful movements that I needed to do, an immaculate etiquette all the time, being expert in dancing, capable of walk, walk fast and dance while wearing heels, becoming a statue when sitting, thankfully since I practiced piano before I was capable of pass with flying colors the music lessons, but the worst was, not.being.able.to.scratch.my.body.parts!


    But thanks to that hellish training now I can fight with the dexterity of a feline and I was not bad in the magic department too. I mean is magic, M.A.G.I.C, anyone of earth that find he or she could use magic will surely do something with it, and if someone in earth say that not then he or she is lying or is dumb.


    First I developed magic that helped me to hide my training, so first I created my first magic that was a fast shower, I created water with magic with that all the sweat of my body go washed without a trace, then it comes my second magic that is a dryer, I use wind magic to dry my wet body for the fast shower, then something very good for stealth.


    When I remember the rooms were the sound is blocked of the outside, I decided to create a barrier that does the same, a sound barrier, inside it the sound can''t go out, and the list can go and go, I have close to ten years to train my magic, train my body, and to train survival skills.


    The hardest thing to hide was the stamina training, running around the garden in the night was the best option since if someone goes to my room and saw that I am not there I could say that I couldn''t sleep and take a walk to the garden.


    Then I study what I could, countries, culture, monsters, spirits, magic, math, history, herbology, tailoring, and more. Since I was with a specific goal in mind, and since there were not even a video game, tv, or anything that resemble a way to play in my house, even if I could I was unable to be distracted of my plan. I also discovered something very important of myself, I don''t like being a noble, all the gazes, the gossips, the ulterior motives, the obligation of going to a tea party of that friend of the friend of my father, visiting relatives who I never saw in my life, neither my father.


    What''s more I hated very much when I discovered that this world discovered a way to make modern underwear, when I first used a brassiere was one of the most embarrassing moments in my life, but then I realized that if I wanted I could ask for sport clothes, with that my body movements would never be hindered by clothes, a problem that was always there while I was wearing dresses, but that will be an issue for another time.


    Now I am out of the country, without any title, no obligations, no noblesse oblige, not arranged marriage, and the most important thing, no need to give birth!

 The beggining

    Since I was left with only my dress when the sentence was given, I didn''t have a thing in me to help me in my travel, and since time is precious, I have already prepared money, clothes for traveling, a backpack with money, all the necessary tools to survive in the wild and a horse well trained to be my companion for a long time I named it Oscar.


    ¡°Oscar is time to go¡±


    ¡°brrrff¡±


    ¡°......If you can understand me please whinnies¡±


    ¡°......¡±


    I know that I may look crazy but since I am in a world of magic, I needed to check, who knows if the animals actually have intelligence and sentiments, well I never have a pet so I am not sure how to treat animals in any way, but since this will be my companion for a long time, better be in his good side. With arrangements done, I start my way out of the country.


    ¡°This sure is beautiful¡±


    When I go out of the capital I came across of a big number beautiful places, towns, forests, waterfalls, rivers, fields. In the game never was mentioned, but this kingdom is the luckiests in the world or the most blessed by the gods, the surrounding flora and fauna of is the most docile in the world, the fields are the most fertile of the continent, the fishing spots are abundant, and the most unexpected thing is that monsters never approach the kingdom.


    In a class when I was a kid, I got to know that this world actually have dangers anywhere, magical beast, monsters, abnormal places, different species, the usual stuff in the fantasy worlds, but since there were powerful people the world is nowhere close to any type of danger, there weren''t any demon lord, a common enemy to go against, but there were people who worked hard to maintain order in the world in all places, this strengthened peace in all the countries.


    But that not mean that the world isn''t in conflict, envy of power, land, and wealth was common in this world, alliances with countries, war here and there, kingdoms rising and falling, since things can be that bad in certain places one need strength, this kingdom was not the exception, the army was so well trained, the mages were powerful, the tacticians clever and the generals never wanted to crush the others for war achievements in any way possible, the unity of the people of this kingdom was so strong that if a couple broke up at least there would be 10 persons to console both parts each.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    But not all are unicorns and rainbows, there were always a bad side, this is the nobles. That is because...the typical nobles, but since there were never big issues a thing like killing the bastard child never happened or each time was covered very well.


    In simple words, there is a forced peace in all the world, but that is only the view in the inside, in the outside they all act like friends, still that not mean they aren''t preparing their weapons if anything happens.


    After some time passed I arrive to the last town before going out of the country, it was tomorrow were if someone see me I will go to jail, so there is not time to rest, the night was coming and if I can go out before the sun appear I will be safe.


    The town was still lively, the townspeople are living in peace and the merchants are still doing business the city.


    I approached one that is close to the exit of the town.


    ¡°Excuse me sir, you know the way to the next kingdom?¡±


    ¡°Uh?, oh, hello little girl, yes I am know the way to the next kingdom, why do you ask?¡±


    ¡°Can I you show me the way?, I want to travel the world and I am want to go out Emory¡±


    ¡°...Listen little girl, I know what you think, but the world os not as good as this kingdom, is better if you stay here and live a peaceful life¡±


    ¡°Thank you for your concern sir, but I will go out of this kingdom, with or without your help¡±


    After my words he let out a big sigh and say.


    ¡°Okay, whatever, I have my own things to care, I can sell you maps that can guide you of here to the next town, better you not curse me when you die¡±


    ¡°I won''t, thanks, then how much will be?¡±


    ¡° It will be 20 silver coins¡±


    ¡°Thanks!, here¡±


    In this world the currency is of the usual copper, silver and gold, with the unusual onyx coin after gold, with the exchange rate of 100 coins equal to 1 of the next, I am not sure the worth in earth but with 50 copper coins a family can eat three meals a day and the lodging of an inn a day cost a silver coin with a meal, since I still not used the gold coins I have I am not sure they worth.


    But as a medieval era, paper is expensive, more if is a map, I don''t know if this merchant is scamming me, but I need it.


    I buy a sword and dried food if needed, since I already have a canteen with water, so there wasn''t a need to buy one, only to refill the water in the water well, I let Oscar rest a little since things will be more harsh after I left this town and check my stuff if something was missing.


    ¡°Alright, let''s go Oscar¡±


    ¡°brrrff¡±


    With that we go to our new life, what will happen?, I am thrilled to know.

 A long night

    I am galloping in the middle of the night, since there could be bandits or worse, the slave dealers, I am using the sound proof barrier, since Oscar will be moving all night I set it as a jog in a steady pace.


    All was good until I was passing a forest, since there were not clouds and in the sky a full moon shine I could see a little, but since I entered the forest the most I could see is a few steps ahead of me.


    Suddenly, the urges to pee make me do a little stop to go to the bathroom in the wild, after I spotted a bush where I wouldn''t be seen I answer the call of nature, with the sound proof barrier active all the time, but suddenly I hear the laughter of a man.


    ¡°Hahaha, I am lucky!, a free horse!¡±


    Hearing that my heart started to beat faster than normal, since is night the only ones who can be wandering at this time are bandits, criminals and more, very unlikely could be a normal person, that possibility is very scarce.


    I finished my business with the bush and go up to see the person who is trying to take Oscar.


    It is a tall man, in his thirties, with brown hair, a robust body, scar in his face, he use a dirty leather armor that covers his chest, he is wearing dirty shorts by some strange reason and in the right side of his waist a dagger could be seen in his sheath.


    Since he is stealing my horse, morally thinking I can attack him.


    I prepared to kill magical beasts and attack people, but kill was not one of that, so I did my best to not kill him, but that not means I couldn''t cut off his dominant hand.


    I take out my sword, then I slashed his right hand, he shouted so hard that could be hear by the whole forest.


    ¡°HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!¡±


    I really think that the whole forest heard it. The man start to roll on the ground while grabing his handless arm.


    ¡°I know that being in the night could give you a good reason that there is a free horse to take, but better safe than sorry, bye¡±


    Using some water of my canteen to wash the blood of my sword and sheath it, when I was going to go up of Oscar and continuing with my travel an arrow scratch my shoulder.If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    ¡°Ouch!¡±


    Just because I cry that not mean that I get distracted, I tried to go up of Oscar again but I was surrounded by other six man, three in the front and three in the back of the road the archer that shot the arrow was in the front.


    ¡°F#ck you bitch!, that is one of our man!¡±


    ¡°Hehehehe~, when we capture you I will have my sweet time with you!¡±


    ¡°She is a beauty!, we can sell her in a good price, after some uses of course!, hehehehe~¡±


    There were a bunch of comments with hatred and others with lust, but all of them can only meant one thing, they are the slavers that I was supposed to be captured and have a live of misery after they capture me.


    ¡°Fire!¡±


    Just like that I invoke fire to attack the three in front of the road to the next kingdom, since I don''t the power to fight the six of them the only thing I could do is to run, run like my life depends of it, because my life really depends of it!


    ¡°Wind barrier!¡±


    When I start to run with Oscar I disabled the sound proof barrier and activated wind barrier, this is a barrier that have strong winds go around it, with this only a metallic spear shot by a big crossbow will be able to pass through the barrier.


    I can hear the arrows being shattered by the wind barrier, I gain distance of them, I never slowed down but 4 of the six man close distance with their own horses.


    With one of them being the archer, since two of them have swords and the last one a dagger.


    The archer continued with shooting arrows, I was surrounded by the ones with swords in both sides and the one with the dagger is in the back of the other man in my right side.


    They slash in the wind barrier but thankfully the take turns to do it, right slash, then an arrow, left slash, an arrow.


    This continued for half an hour, I was starting to get low in magic, but after I saw that the archer ran out of arrows I use fire again.


    ¡°Fire!¡±


    Since the wind barrier it was still active the fire spread all around me, this not only startled the guys in my sides, it also scared their horses. Oscar wasn''t scared, after all I trained him to make me company in my travels.


    ¡°I always know that training you was one of the best things I did!¡±


    ¡°Hiiiiiiiihhh!¡±


    It seems that Oscar is happy with my comment, after attacking with fire two more times, the archer and the man with the dagger go down.


    Oscar started to grow tired, but since both the bandits and the night were gone I feel at easy, in the distance after going out of the forest I see a city, not a village, not a town, it is a city with a great amount of buildings and people, with a big wall around it, knights guarding the entrances, and people going in and out.


    ¡°Finally out of Emory, that sure was a long night¡±


    With a relaxed sigh I go to the city.

 Goal

    In the way to the city, is saw that there were people working in the fields to grow food, some of them were already harvesting, others were starting, but all of the people were doing the same, working in the fields. I could see kids of ten years and so working too.


    ¡°Education is only for nobles? or is that they need to pay and their families can''t afford it?¡±


    In Emory education was free and for everyone, well Emory is a heaven in earth in this world. The conditions are better, and the people that live there live ten years more than in the other kingdoms, Emory always have problems of migration but since is strictly regulated, it never was a problem.


    After my inner monologue I get close to the city gates, there I see two man with armor were standing like statues, I went to talk to them so I can enter the city.


    ¡°Hello, can I enter in the city?¡±


    ¡°If you have an identification you can enter without paying the fee, if you don''t have then is 2 silver coins for the entry and one to exit, if you don''t have money, we can buy you something¡±


    ¡°Here you have two silver coins¡±


    ¡°Alright, come with me, now we need to check you¡±


    The guard lead me to a room, there I saw a crystal ball.


    ¡°Put magic power in the crystal we need to know if you are a criminal or if you have records of breaking the law¡±


    I was not nervous, I have some criminal records, if being exiled count and I think it count, but not in this country, so when I heard his words I did as he told me. The crystal ball shine in green, normally when something shine green in this type situation can only be good.


    ¡°...you can enter¡±


    ¡°Thanks¡±


    When I enter the city I saw that there was a lot of people, a big part of them are human, but there were other species, not much actually, for 20 humans in this city there are 1 of the other species. It took me like twenty minutes to find an elf when I entered the city.


    Since I entered the city my plan was to see if there are some search facility for magic so I can find a job there, if there is not then I will find a job in another part, then train my martial arts and find someone who can teach me how to fight, then when my training is done I will explore the world.


    There is a rule were all people need to know if you are new in a city in a medieval world, find an inn, tavern or talk with a merchant to find information, there will always be someone who knows something.Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.


    I find and inn and pay for five nights, then I go to ask the receptionist, he is a young man in his twenties, with brown hair, blue eyes and a big nose, without the nose he could be handsome, he is the owner and have a beautiful wife.


    ¡°tsk, lucky¡±


    ¡°Yes?¡±


    ¡°I-i want to know if you can give me information about this city, I am new here¡±


    ¡°Sure¡±


    He told me that the city is called Visan, there are four layers in this city, the first layer is the residential area where most of the residents live, in this part there will be some stalls here and there that they will sell food to the people who are going out of the city to work in the fields and other things.


    The second layer is where the commerce area, this area the merchants, inns, taverns, blacksmiths, tailors, gem crafters and other jobs do their business, in this place the tailors, blacksmith and the other craft type guil-.


    ¡°There are guilds!?¡±


    ¡°Y-yes, the ones I told are to practice craft professions, but there are other guilds¡±


    ¡°There are more guilds!?¡±


    ¡°T-too close¡±


    Since I become so agitated when he mentioned that there are guilds, my hopes for an adventurers guild go up and I got so close to him that our noses almost touch.


    ¡°S-sorry, again, I am new but I always heard of the craft type guilds when I grow up, there are more?¡±


    ¡°You are of a little village, huh?, well yes there are various types of guilds, there is a mercenary guild, hunters guild, there is an explorers guild, a guild for all the craftsman professions and a crafters guild and the most difficult guild to join is the adventures guild¡±


    ¡°There is so many guilds and why is the adventures guild the most difficult?¡±


    ¡°Well not exactly the most difficult for some people but yes, that is because there are the major and secondary guilds, the secondary guilds are guilds like the tailors guild or the blacksmith guild, in these guilds they teach their profession, it cost a little but if you can pay it you will have an stable work, is the same with the hunters, mercenary and explorers guild¡±


    ¡°Then what are the major guilds? and why the adventures guild is one of the most difficult guilds to join¡±


    ¡°I''m going to that part, there are few major guilds and they are majors because they are a bunch of elitists, only the best of the best are there, in them there are the adventures guild, magic guild, crafters guild and merchants guild, if you want to join the crafters guild you need to be a master in your crafter profession like a blacksmith and create a new invention that is useful to the world, the last one in joining was an alchemist and he created a potion that recover magic power faster than normal, the merchants guild only accept people that have trades with at least 3 kingdoms of the continent, Magic guild only accept people who have a great amount of magic power, usually nobles and species like elves, demons and the like are the ones that are there since they are the only ones with high magical power, the last is the adventures guild, to enter this guild you need to be an elite member of the mercenary, hunters and explorers guild and do something big, the last one in joining the adventures guild found a new type of plant when he was exploring the unexplored parts of the continent¡±


    ¡°Wow that really is something, thanks!¡±


    ¡°Your Welcome¡±


    ¡°Well I have things to do, see you!¡±


    With all that new information now I have a goal, I will be a member of the adventures guild!, but first I will need to train my magic, it will become in handy since having magic is a plus that no one have to waste.


    ¡°To the magic guild!¡±


    Is what I said, but I went back with the inn owner to ask where is the magic guild since I forgot to ask.

 Test

    This city is really big!, I saw more bigger and beautiful cities before but I still need to ask directions to find the magic guild!, and what with this city? why the difference in the separation of the third layer?, the last I can understand, but why the third!?


    The first and second layers were only separated by a river that flow around the city in a circle form with a bridge to cross it, but the third and fourth are separated by walls so big as a four story building.


    In the third layer are the major guilds of the city, the guards headquarters and the houses of the most influential people that isn''t part of the government in Visan city and the fourth layer is the smaller part of all the city, in this part the city lord and other people that is affiliated with government of the city live.


    In the entrance of the third layer there were stationated two guards in both sides of the gate, they were statues like the other two in the entrance gates of the city, since I approached first I tried to be friendly with them, since having a bad impression could lead to being in their bad side, something that I want to avoid.


    ¡°Hello, may I ask if I can enter that part?¡±


    ¡°...¡±


    ¡°Excuse me, but I want to pass this gate, I am new here and don''t know if it is permitted to pass this gate since is being guarded too, could you tell me please?¡±


    ¡°...¡±


    They never directed a word , but then I see the closest guard to me making a gesture with his head shaking to the gates direction. With that gesture in mind I tried to pass.


    ¡°...¡±


    ¡°Thank you!¡±


    Since nothing happened when I passed the gates I go directly to the magic guild, since the owner of the inn never was in the third layer since there weren''t business he were interested he couldn''t tell me how is the third layer. After some time I find the magic guild, it was five buildings on the right of the gate, then you would see a building with a sign of a staff with a book under it.


    When I entered the building I could see that the building was almost empty if you don''t count the receptionist, the only other guy there was a tall man in his twenties pondering something in a board with paper stuck in there.This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    I go to the receptionist and when I was almost there the tall guy push me out of the receptionist direction and go to talk to her, since I didn''t pay attention to him when I saw him of far and since he go out in a hurry the only feature I could notice was a deep brown hair.


    Since the building was empty I go with the receptionist to ask if I could join the magic guild.


    ¡°Hello¡±


    ¡°Oh~, hello little girl what are you doing here?¡±


    ¡°I want to join the magic guild!¡±


    ¡°Alright honey, what is your name?


    With her words I star to think, since I can start again I will change my name!, because I want!, since I am not a noble anymore and Diana is a noble like name I decide to change it, but since a totally different name will be confusing, so to this day onwards my name is Dina!


    ¡°What a beautiful name, now to know if you are capable to join the magic guild we will measure your magic power¡±


    The receptionist guide me to another room, in this room there was a metal stick in there some type of inscriptions were in the stick and there were 10 gems of different colors incrusted in the stick, up to down the colors are black, white, pink, blue, orange, purple, light blue, yellow, green and red.


    ¡°This is an artifact created by the craftsman guild, this can measure your magic power capacity, this metal pole and its gems are made to absorb your magic power, when you pour magic power this pole will start to shine, since this guild have a rule that only capable people could join the magic guild you need to make the blue gem shine at least, if not then you will better try again in one year.¡±


    ¡°Thanks for the information, I want to try now!¡±


    ¡°Wait, I need a witness so he can confirm the evaluation, stay here for a while, I will come back soon¡±


    I was so nervous when the receptionist go out, this test could mean a big step forward to becoming an adventurer and I need all the power I have to becoming one, so I tried to calm myself, counting numbers, taking long breaths and more, but my nervousness not go away. After some time has passed the receptionist came with a bald old man with a long bear like G*nd*lf the gray.


    ¡°This is the guild master sir Gedolot¡±


    ¡°N-nice to meet you!¡±


    Without a word he only stay up while keeping his sight in me, with nervousness in my body I touch the stick and with all the magic I have I start to put it all I in the stick.


    It was very stressful and tiring, then I saw six lights in the stick, red, green, yellow, light blue, purple and orange. I was starting to get weak since I was losing magic power at rapid pace, and my vision was starting to get blur, I feel like I will collapse at any moment and I feel like I wasn''t close to reach the blue gem.


    ¡°NOT YET!¡±


    I shouted with all my might and grab whatever I have in my reserves of magic power and put all in the stick, in the end I saw one more light, blue, after that I collapse on the spot.

 Registration

    The first thing I saw when I woke up was the receptionist who for some reason became very clingy when I woke up, then I go to the guild master office the moment I could stand by myself.


    The old man called Gedolot only stay silent while he is seeing me in his desk.


    ¡°You can be a member of the magic guild, but to complete the registration documents need to be filled, first, your name¡±


    The registration was very simple, name, age, gender and birthplace, it was really the typical document to register any fantasy guild, there wasn''t a problem with the first three, but the last, the last can be a problem.


    ¡°Is Refia Village in Emory kingdom¡±


    Well is a half lie half truth the exact place I was born I don''t remember, it was a castle in some part of the Gardwell territory, it was a quiet place, in that place a maid was the one who breastfeed me since my mother had gatherings to attend, then when I didn''t need to be breastfed anymore, my mother come to take me to the main mansion of the Gardwell household, then I lived the life Diana Gardwell would live and if I say the capital of Emory kingdom will only come with more questions that I don''t want to answer so my best option was to say a randome village in Emory.


    ¡°...That''s unexpected¡±


    ¡°There is a problem?¡±


    ¡°No, your reasons to join are unimportant to us, but remember that if war broke out in the two countries you will be in custody¡±


    ¡°Haha~, you don''t need to worry about me~¡±


    That''s true, since I am exiled of Emery, I don''t have reasons to go back there or help them in any way.


    ¡°Now, with all done, I will give you some explanation about the guild. There are investigation teams to search magic, sadly you can''t join them right now and all members need to contribute in the magic guild in some way, if you are unable contribute after half a year of your registration then you will be expulsed of the guild, mainly taking the commissions in the board one time a month will ensure your place here, but if you created a new type of magic and teach other members of the magic guild to learn it we will give you a big sum of money and will give you a high place in the magic guild, this will also give you enough contribution to stop for two years, then you will need to contribute again¡±


    ¡°Wow, that''s a lot, and why if someone created a new magic a high place is given to that person?¡±


    ¡°Creating a new magic will mean that you discovered or take notice of something of the world that no one did before, and creating a new type of magic is more difficult than creating a new weapon, creating a potion, finding a new plant or having trading routes in three or more kingdoms and creating a new magic mean that you are intelligent enough to have that place¡±Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.


    Well, I am not sure if it is more difficult but better left it that way.


    ¡°What are the benefits to have a high place in the magic guild?¡±


    ¡°Apart of the two year exempt of contributions, if there are ways to increase the magic power capacity, to have a better control in magic or having opportunities to make relations with the people of the nobility, all that can be given to you if you escalate a high position in the magic guild and a great part of the academies are always in need of capable magic teachers if you are contracted by one, your life can be ensured¡±


    Apart of the interaction of the nobility all the other things interest me and having ways to increase my magic power capacity is a must.


    I can use the sound proof barrier but I fear that there are people to use it in a bad way like assassination, actually all the magics I could give to them could make the difference in a fight or a war.


    Well since I have some tricks in my sleeve I will try to use a magic that will be not that helpful, but since I don''t know what magics are there, is better to do that later, first I have some questions


    ¡°Why the guild is so empty?¡±


    ¡°There are very few of people who can have the same magic power capacity as you, and they are not always in the big villages or cities of the kingdoms, some of them reach the guild, others not, in this city, if you exclude us here, there are only 4 members of the magic guild here in Visan¡±


    ¡°And why you have a big bear, is not annoying to have it all the time?¡±


    ¡°Say that when you get bald!¡±


    ¡°S-sorry!¡±


    With a heavy sigh he stand out of his desk.


    ¡°Marcy, made the arrangements to get this kid in the magic school in the next week¡±


    ¡°Yes sir Gedolot¡±


    WAIT?, what? school again!?


    ¡°Why I will go to the magic school?¡±


    ¡°Kid, you are underaged to be a working force to us, all the kingdoms prohibited all the guilds to use kids under the age of sixteen as working forces outside the cities or in dangerous works, but that not mean you are incapable to contribute, you will work as an assistant for another member of the magic guild, he always is in need of assistants, your pay will be the school tuition, this arrangement is not negotiable and will be the only way for you to continue in the magic guild, the other researchers already found their assistants, the search teams are full too and the comissions are dangerous, so is this the only way to still be part of the magic guild¡±


    ¡°Then why I did the test if I would be unable to work before I turn sixteen?¡±


    ¡°Are you deaf?, I said we lack people, better to nurture the talent than let it wasted away¡±


    So you can use them later, right?


    ¡°Don''t worry, it will be fun, having three years of school can give you a better understanding of the world¡±


    ¡°I will be fourteen in a month!¡±


    ¡°Then two years, but you will attend school, the magic guild don''t want stupid people in our ranks¡±


    Damn, school for two more years, well better start now since I can.


    ¡°Okay then, until I am sixteen I will go to school, when I will depart?¡±


    ¡°Two days, better prepare your luggage¡±


    "So soon!"


    "Don''t look down in the magic guild kid, we have conections in many places"


    With that my next two years are decided.

 Enrollment test

    Well right now I am in another royal school entrance, since it still the entrance examination there are a lot of people there, well very much my entrance is already decided but since it can look like they were doing favoritism I need to do the examination to enter the school too, and since they were exactly doing favoritism all I need to do was to do the examination, even if I have bad results my entrance is guaranteed.


    ¡°The road to come here was damn annoying¡±


    Remembering the ambush of thieves that wanted to rape me and the receptionist, the sabertooth tiger and that damn earthquake that almost destroy the carriage is stressful and the thing that truly is getting in my nerves right now.


    ¡°Damn you menstruation¡±


    Since the last few days I start my first menstruation, now I know why some women say that their body hates them, this thing hurts so much and is a continuous pain, not something that will go away after some time.


    ¡°This really hurts¡±


    ¡°Don''t worry after some days it will pass¡±


    Said July the receptionist of the magic guild who accompanied me on this little journey, but exactly how much it will take for this fucking pain to end?!


    ¡°And now I will need to buy new pants¡±


    ¡°It can''t be helped, normal girls use dresses that don''t get dirty with blood, you using pants is very weird¡±


    ¡°And why you come with me in the first place?¡±


    ¡°someone need activate the magic document to confirm your affiliation with the magic guild, only a certain group of people can activate them in the guild, I am one of them, then I need to go with you to prove the authenticity of your registration of the magic guild and this card that will ensure your place in the academy¡±


    ¡°Good point, but since I never heard of the magic documents I am not that impressed¡±


    ¡°I will tell you later, now it''s your turn to do the examination, good luck¡±The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    Well, more than is my groups turn since I''m not the only one to be examined.


    The first part of the examination was a physical test, in this I need to do a run around a field in an oval shape, I end in the top five, my training routine is giving results after all, not only in strength but in stamina, flexibility, and endurance, but thankfully I wasn''t the first place, before me are a boy with red hair, a girl with blond hair and another boy with brown hair.


    I dunno who they are.


    ¡°Good run¡±


    I tried to praise them but for some reason, all of them stare at me with hateful eyes. Time to back off slowly.


    Then the next test comes, it is a magic test, since magic comes with understanding and imagination is really easy to do something like fireworks and be the first one in this too, but better do something average, after all I need to have a low profile, or the lowest possible after going first in the physical examination.


    I saw that almost all go with fire magic, the second most used is ice, then is earth and the last is wind, well that is interesting, not water magic, thunder, metal or other variations of the main elements other than ice, this world don''t have imagination?


    Still, with this, I know that a little up of the average in fire magic will be enough.


    ¡°Fire!¡±


    A fireball as big as my head left my hand and hit the target that the academy put for us to shot.


    But for some reason, my performance amassed the rest.


    ¡°Wohoooo!, that''s the most powerful spell I ever did!¡±


    I said before faking a falling to the ground, it hurts, but I hope that act appease them, I was not the best in this test of course so after I ended the act the others lost interest in me.


    The last test was a written test mostly of math, again I did get a good score but not by much, this medieval world has so little knowledge of math that I can be called a genius here.


    Then we were left in a waiting area, there not only my group stay here, the rest of the applicants were left here too, very much all of them were nobles, only a little group of commoners were left, almost nonexistent, four people, well with me five.


    I go with them, almost all of them have brown hair, the last one has blond hair.


    ¡°Hello¡±


    ¡°Oh, hello, who are you?¡±


    ¡°I am Dina, nice to meet you¡±


    Yeah, since the name Diana is a noble like name and I am not a noble anymore I decided to change to something more simpler and that I will recognize as my name, the same with the registration in the magic guild.


    And they left me like I smell were worse than a skunk.


    It was the guy with red hair, you are starting to go on my bad side, he gave me another hateful glare and left. After all the examinations ended the results were posted in a big table in the center of the entrance, in this table is where the ones who pass the examination are posted.


    ¡°I passed¡±


    ¡°You were bound to pass, with the performance you gave and the card of sir Gedolot it was guaranteed¡±


    ¡°I know that but I have a question?¡±


    ¡°Yes?¡±


    ¡°Why I am in the fucking top 10!?¡±

 First Day

    The first day of school, in this day the groups are made, dissolve or deepened their bounds, also is the day where you are judged to know if you are accepted in a group or left as the black sheep of the class, the year or even the school.


    ¡°My time has come¡±


    ¡°Good luck on your first day of school~¡±


    July was supposed to go back to Visan after my enrollment but for some reason she stays in the capital with me, really, more like she deliberately said that the two of us will live together and decided by herself that she will be my guardian until I become sixteen, then she buy a medium size house for two people and we are now living together.


    The fuck with that!?, I don''t know her very much and neither she knows me and she decided to do this without consulting anyone, neither me, or guild master Gedolot and the way she is talking to me like that?...with so much affection?...it feels weird.


    Thanks to my first life I know what is affection, but when I was born as Diana Gardwell any sort of kindness never ever came to me, since the Gardwell are a matriarchal household the ones who are the heads of the family are the woman.


    Thanks to that I as the next head need to learn all that is needed to know to be in charge, and surprisingly my mother was a feminist who thinks that the women since they are the ones who carry the new life are the ones who have to be in charge of everything, to be on top of the men and a long etc of feminism or more like feminazi.


    Personally, I don''t care of it, if you want to do something and want to do that, do it, that''s it, is simple. The beliefs of other people are for them, my beliefs are for me. Still, since the time I could talk properly my mom trained me to be the perfect next head, graceful, cold, wise, expressionless and more, basically a copy of her, same beliefs and with more power, since I was engaged with the crown prince.


    I hate that woman, but since I am now exiled her plans are over and if not my brother and the rest will do something about it.


    Oh, right, school, I need to focus on the actual matter, the first day of school. In this school the classes are classified with the alphabet.


    The classes are divided in the F, E, D, C, B, A and S, I only know how the S category is decided since I am part of that class and that is to be one of the top ten, only ten students are allowed to be in this class.The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.


    ¡°Since I am a commoner I will get secluded by the other nobles for sure, well if that''s the case then I will concentrate more on my studies¡±


    ¡°Don''t be that negative, maybe you will encounter a good noble there~¡±


    ¡°Are bad manners to...well I''m conversing with myself so is not bad manners and who you are?......P-pardon me, may I know the name of the respected noble?¡±


    Another noble, I really hate to talk on the formal way, but I want my life to be easy and disrespecting a noble can only make it hard.


    ¡°Me?, a noble?, pfffff-hahahahahaha!, sorry to disappoint you but I am only a servant¡±


    ¡°Wow really? and you are still in the S class? that''s impressive ¡±


    ¡°And what about you?, you are not in the S class too?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I''m in this class too¡±


    ¡°Then I think that both of us are outstanding while still being commoners don''t you think?¡±


    That smile, if I were a normal girl I surely will be charmed by it, counterattack!


    ¡°Yeah I think so¡±


    Take that! my smile is more charming than yours!


    ¡°Hope to get along well¡±


    ¡°Me too¡±


    Are we battling with our smiles? oh, he loosened.


    We pass the time talking until the teacher enters the class, but his name really was really noble like thing, Bodrus really a weird name, he is the son of the head maid and head butler of the family of a noble that is in our class.


    ¡°Well is time for class¡±


    ¡°We talk later¡±


    ¡°Sure thing¡±


    There was a different teacher for class, and almost all classes were very easy, if not that the history of the world was a part of the classes I will be almost unbeatable in every subject, and the only other class that resulted difficult to me was the physical class, I am mad to admit, but a girls body will never have more strength than one of a man, well not all girls bodies, but almost all, they surely will be special cases but I am not one of them, is a simple case that the men have more muscles than women. That''s why I trained in the martial arts I know, it is a combination of the Tai chi chuan with the MMA(Mixed Martial Arts), still since I am using a sword to fight I am learning of the standard sword arts that this school teaches.


    ¡°Now the next match is Safina versus Dina¡±


    I want to say that the battle was hard like when I battle the thieves, but it wasn''t she knows how to use a sword but my physical condition is way better than hers and the only form to her to beat me will be if she has an armor or she uses magic, that in the situation that I don''t use magic I mean.


    ¡°Dina wins¡±


    Easy peasy, since I am already known as one of the bests in physical condition and she is not one of the ones who bested me in the run in the examination either I am safe.


    ¡°I want a rematch!¡±


    Or not.

 Researcher

    Never in my wildest dreams, I would have thought that I wou-naaah, this as cliche as the heroine of an otome game marrying the prince and living happily ever after, well not that cliche, but that there is a damn girl with the hope of becoming a damn royal knight in that, oh so glorious damn kingdom certainly is cliche, thank classmates your ¡°whispers¡± sure are informative.


    ¡°No¡±


    ¡°You, are you disrespecting the Brewnald house?¡±


    Great, just great, another one with that noble pride, better if you become a thug and start to bully little kids! and why the whole house!?, is only you!


    ¡°With due respect, I am not the one who is disrespecting you miss Brewnald¡±


    ¡°Then why are you denying me the rematch that I request!¡±


    ¡°Miss I am not disrespecting you or your noble house is my right to accept or deny your request and actually if someone is disrespecting someone is you to the other students¡±


    ¡°Insolence!¡±


    ¡°Miss, please hear me, this class is for all the students in this class, you are not the only student in this class and by "requesting" me a rematch while in class time you are denying the other students the chance to participate in this class, with all this in light, exactly who is disrespecting who?¡±


    ¡°You, YOU!¡±


    ¡°of course if you want to have a rematch with me then I advise you to be in the hours out of school, where there will be no problems with students or teachers¡±


    ¡°......¡±


    ¡°Our classes end in other five hours but I am assigned to help a researcher in this school, when my schedule permitted me to have the rematch I will inform you as soon as possible, I don''t know if we are in the same classes but since we are in combat class I will inform you of the next match when I am capable of doing it, of course, if you permit me¡±


    ¡°......I permit you¡±


    Stupid noble, and surely you want me to bow, damn, how is that the maids and butlers are not having back pains for bowing all day long?


    ¡°Thank you¡±


    With this I go to the next classes, Math?, a piece of cake, Etiquette?, a piece of cake, Alchemy?, a little difficult, Magic?, easier than alchemy, History? fuck it!, sadly for me when it comes to retaining writing knowledge I am more dumb than a donkey, math and the other things I could learn them because of my past life when I use them or because they are practical skills, an operation, a spell, a potion, basically because they are practical skills I can learn them, but since history are only tales or registers of past events I can''t do a thing, the same happened with literature and history when I was Rocky, I need to read the same text ten times to be able to remember something, this happens in games too, I always had a little notebook to write important information about a certain game, it sucks.The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    There are more classes but they are for the other days, now I need to go to the laboratory for the researchers in this academy, this academy has individual laboratories for important persons, and I will be the assistant of one of them.


    The section of the individual laboratories are of different buildings all of them for one person each and his or her assistants, buildings made of rock, and of a pentagonal shape, not so big since is only to work, but surely space is not a problem.


    When I knock the wood door of the laboratory, it opened and it came in my view a beautiful mature woman in her forties, long green hair and blue eyes and is using glasses, for some reason she appeared to be sleeping when I knocked her door, her robe was crudely put in her and her eyes have bags that probably were there for months.


    ¡°Whoooooooooaaaaaaaaaa~, who are you?¡±


    ¡°Nice to meet you, I''m Dina, your new assistant¡±


    ¡°Oh, right, it is the first day of classes, right?¡±


    ¡°And what were you doing to sleep past noon?¡±


    ¡°secret, only when I decided that you are capable of being my assistant¡±


    ¡°Then this job is not granted?¡±


    ¡°My workplace, my rules¡±


    More like your house, your rules.


    ¡°And what I need to do to become your assistant?¡±


    ¡°I am hungry~¡±


    ¡°what do you want?¡±


    ¡°Impress me¡±


    ¡°...here¡±


    ¡°Fruit, dry meat, water, and fruit juice?¡±


    ¡°...Impressed?¡±


    ¡°Is that all you have?¡±


    ¡°Well, I was planning to eat this after work bu-¡±


    ¡°Have the job¡±


    That was my banana bread.


    ¡°You pass¡±


    ¡°What?,why?¡±


    ¡°I need someone who doesn''t think the same as the other people, looking for answers on places where no one thought before, you think different for the other people, that is what I want. In your situation, anyone would think of giving me a luxurious meal or make something by themselves to, but you decided to give me food that you already carry, without caring about the consequences of what would happen, you give me what I wanted, food and to impress me.¡±


    ¡°...¡±


    ¡°Well, something to say?¡±


    "And what if I were only lazy and really don''t care about this job?"


    "Silly girl, I know of your situation, I know that you need this job and you not caring about this job is ridiculous, you have something to say?"


    ¡°Yes, your test is full of holes!, if you think that this will be a good idea then you are damn retarded!, what will happen if someone told me about your test!?, and all this was planned including you looking like that to confuse the people!?¡±


    ¡°I made preparations, and since you are the last assistant that I need, for now, I have time to think for new tests, now you will stay there or will come to work¡±


    ¡°Like I do have an option, well whatever, again nice to meet you I''m Dina, your new assistant¡±


    ¡°Nice to meet you, Dina, I am Baltsara, your new boss and a next high-rank magician of the magic guild¡±

 Sparks magic

    Inside the laboratory are two other people aside of me and Baltsara, a girl with a brown hair in a long ponytail style, a slim guy with tan skin, black hair in a way that said he was sleeping recently. the both of them were writing something in a paper while seeing a big glass cylinder that in the center have an emerald there, I can see some electric sparks here and there like the electricity.


    ¡°Are you try-I-i mean what are you trying to make?¡±


    ¡°This, this is the wildest magic that I ever saw, this is a magic that I am trying to make, consist to replicate the same sparks that appear when it rains.¡±


    So, she is trying to do lightning magic or thunder magic or whatever she is going to call it, sparks magic?, is regrettable that I couldn''t discover it, since to do that I need to know how a lightning feel because it will help me greatly in know how it works, I''m regretting that I didn''t put enough attention in physic class sometimes, and to be hit by a thunderbolt ¡°by chance¡± to actually know how to wield it in a good way would made great changes in the storyline I ended without knowing it, good thing to create gravity magic only need me to know that the planet and I have our own attraction force, using magic to only control the one of the planet, and eureka! gravity magic.


    ¡°..........how did you discover it?¡±


    ¡°Good that you asked, it was on a rainy day when I was woken up by a big-¡±


    I and my big mouth, I thought that she was normal, not of the ones who talk like there was no tomorrow, I was so wrong!


    ¡°Then after I go to places where it rains for months I-¡±


    It already passed 20 minutes or more and she is still talking.


    ¡°Then I saw how a man was roasted when he lifted his sword to the sky-¡±


    I already started to fall asleep of boredom, but I was shaken by the other two assistants, then they move me close to them since Baltsara will continue for some time I decided to introduce myself to them while Baltsara is talking like she was telling a fairy tale or something like that.Reading on this site?

    ¡°How are you, I am Dina, who are you?¡±


    ¡°Vrim¡±


    ¡°Laura¡±


    ¡°¡°Nice to meet you¡±¡±


    ¡°......Please don''t talk on the same time, is creepy¡±


    Apparently, the both of them are of low-rank noble families, they have clever minds and big magic power capacity, they decided to study here and be an assistant of someone in the magic guild, with her recommendation and training they would be able to enter the magic guild.


    Oh, Baltsar-ahg! is so long!, better Balt for short!, or Balty!, Balta?, I like more Balt, okay, now she will be Balt, oh, she ended.


    ¡°This work is my pass to the higher ranks so I will never let anyone steal it even if I need to put you in danger¡±


    ¡°Us? not you?¡±


    ¡°Yes, yes,~¡±


    That disinterested answer is making me worry.


    ¡°......Are you completely sure that lightning magic was your only option? no other magic?¡±


    ¡°Girl, since you are still young, you think there is more to learn?, I already discovered possibly the last magic that can be discovered with so little people, don''t worry, this research surely will take time, and when we discovered it, I will help you when you need it¡±


    Are you saying that all the credit will be for you? and we will only have a probably false promise of help?, sadly I can''t say a word, I need the work, well, if I can learn this magic it will benefit me.


    ¡°And that''s how I started to search for this magic that I will call roast magic?¡±


    What bad naming sense, I would like spark magic more.


    ¡°And what not something like sparks magic? or storm magic? is more fitting than roast magic because that it roasted a human don''t you think?¡±


    ¡°And why storm magic if this magic doesn''t create storms?¡±


    ¡°Then what about, thunder or lightning or flash or electric magic?, well there are some names that I thought¡±


    ¡°......It seems that you aren''t unfamiliar with this magic¡±


    ¡°T-that''s because I too have the curiosity about the things that do so much noise in the rains, then I thought of some names, but since there weren''t any magic that I know about them I ended only giving that...momentary light a name...these are the ones I thought¡±


    ¡°...pfff hahahahaha! And I thought that I was the only one!, hahahahaha!, good names, but I prefer the first one, sparks magic! that is the name of this magic sparks magic!¡±


    Better than ¡°roast magic¡±, I hope that my time here is not that stressing as today.

 Progress

    ¡°Experiment number 38, the last experiment give good results before the expected failure, now start¡­¡­.! move!¡±


    That was another one that made ?boom! and it is the 38th this month.


    ¡°Cough, cough!, that one was a complete waste!, I think we need to think further about this!¡±


    ¡°Aaaargh!¡±


    ¡°That was not close at all¡±


    ¡°We can do it¡±


    It already passed two months after my first day in this school, it was pretty normal, I study, I train, I learn, and now I am helping to understanding lightning magic, in this world will be called sparks magic so.


    ¡°Well, better try again¡±


    ¡°But that last one was a dead end, Dina, we didn''t find anything new¡±


    ¡°Vrim, we already know sparks magic, and know how to use it, but why we are still searching it?¡±


    ¡°Baltzara said it was because we know how to create this magic but not know what it is¡±


    ¡°......That''s all?¡±


    ¡°That''s all you said!?, is everything!!!!, if I don''t know what this magic does, I will be left with only with a big amount of contributions, THE RESEARCH WILL BE FOR NAUGHT!¡±


    ¡°I understand, I understand, but don''t shout that loud please¡±


    ¡°Then work!, we know how to use it, but not know what is this, if I don''t know then, this discovery is going to be for naught!¡±


    ¡°Then give me a week, we only discover how this magic works the last week, I need more time to know what this magic is okay?¡±


    ¡°Sigh, things can''t be rushed over, sorry, I lost my composure, I need to eat, I am this hysteric when I am hungry¡±


    ¡°We know, sadly it was for experience¡±


    ¡°Here, this is a biscuit¡±


    Chump!, ?unm, ?unm, I hope there were the sounds that she do when she eats, but the reality is that she seems like a shark when she eats it, if the cookies were alive, the form she eat could be seen as one of the worst horrible deaths ever, but now she will be back to normal.Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    ¡°Puff!, alright, that''s all for today, come here tomorrow to the next project, this time we will experiment the elements were this magic is strong and weak, Dina, I will give you a week to give me an answer, more if you need, well then see you tomorrow¡±


    ¡°Am, Batlzara, I can skip the next day, I want to relax tomorrow, actually, why not we all relax tomorrow¡±


    ¡°You are insane? why you want to skip work?¡±


    ¡°Is more to think better, too much work can''t be good sometime, you need to relax so the next day you could work better, sometimes the best you can do to work is not work¡±


    ¡°Mmm, what you have in mind?¡±


    ¡°Not much, only taking a stroll with Oscar¡±


    ¡°Oscar?, who is he~, a good friend~?¡±


    ¡°he is not, Oscar is my horse, my good friend is Bodrus, he is in my class, we talk in the lunch break¡±


    ¡°B-brodus!, I...we never asked you but in what class are you?¡±


    ¡°......¡±


    ¡°Is not the S class right? is only for the top ten¡±


    ¡°......¡±


    DAMN, DAMN, DAMN, DAMN, DAMN, DAMN, DAMN, DAMN, DAMN, DAMN, DAMN, DAMN, FUCK!, FUCK!, FUCK!, FUCK!, FUCK!, FUCK!, FUCK!, FUCK!, FUCK!, FUCK!, FUCK!, don''t say that he has connections so big that he can be considered to have influence when he is a commoner!?, only a handful of posts are capable of that, mostly the butlers or the retainers of certain noble houses, maybe he is one of them....Please not royalty, please not royalty, please not royalty, please not royalty, please not royalty, please not royalty, GOD DAMN NOT ROYALTY!!!!!


    ¡°He actually is the-¡±


    ¡°STOP!¡±


    ¡°Wha!?¡±


    ¡°Listen, the only thing that I know of him is that he is a commoner, he has a good education, his parents jobs, his birthday, that he have great talent in magic, and his favorite food. More than that is a mystery to me and if by chance he is the right hand of the prince, the next prime minister or something like that don''t say it, the things are good as now and if his position is that big to have your mouths and eyes wide open when I said his name then is better for me to not know, you can stay silent ?, I don''t want to know.¡±


    ¡°¡°............¡±¡±


    ¡°I will take that as a yes, goodbye¡±


    Damn, to think that he was of a high status?... Oh, right, she.


    ¡°Hello, Dina!¡±


    ¡°Another match?¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    That girl, she was of that house of knights that I forgot its name since she said that as her rival only her name was needed, rivals no need their families, only their power. Strange girl, but honest, I like that of her, one of the nobles that I can interact and maybe¡­.befriend?


    ¡°Aaaack!¡±


    ¡°You lost¡±


    ¡°The next time you will lose¡±


    ¡°Maybe, I know that you are closing the distance in our power, come the day after tomorrow that will be our next match¡±


    ¡°Why the day after tomorrow?, are you busy tomorrow?¡±


    ¡°The mage I work as her assistant is planning to have a stroll. Is a method to relax so we can work better the next day.¡±


    ¡°Mmmm, I understand, the next day is free, I understand, I will see you in two days then¡±


    ¡°See you¡±


    With so much free time with me now I have the opportunity to have some time with my best friend, Oscar......I need more human friends if I appreciate my horse more than humans. Well now to prepare and have a walk with my best friend!

 Bad start

    A new day with new activities for me has come, well I better go out of bed.


    ¡°Well start with the exercises¡±


    With the not so news activities as well came with this new day, first, after waking up I do all the warm up that all the teachers in physical education say that is good for the body, the circles in arms, head, legs, feet, etc, and all the forms that I can remember to stretch my body, after that I run. Now I am in the capital, with that I mean that the city is bigger than Visan, so now I make laps around half the city, and by half the city I mean to go outside and ran in a half circle of the west gate to east gate and back. When I started I could only go off the west gate to east gate and when I go back I needed to stop at the south gate.


    The north is prohibited since there is the place where the royal castle is, a guard almost hit me with a rock when I was inspecting the outside of the capital, he pointed me to go back or an arrow would be next since he was preparing to shot one.


    Back to my exercise, after the laps and a quick rest I practice martial arts, they are MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), the teacher was one freak of martial arts, he challenged all the masters he could, that happened still when he started to teach, I was not his super star and I never wanted to be, but he was serious with all his students, a strict diet, always do warm ups, and never, NEVER, with capital letters, miss a single sesion, if you do he will kick out your sorry ass when you come back and if by chance you need to travel, you have to send him a video of you training that day.


    Then after that, I start practicing wielding my magic, I use magic like it were the internal energy in the Chinese novels I made magic go through my body, sadly is magic, not the energy that is commonly known as chi or the other terms. The only thing that magic can do is that it energizes my body, no quit the tiredness, not made my muscles hard, the only thing that does is the same effect that the caffeine or an energy drink do, give you more energy, but the body still needs to rest after that and is worse, the pain was unbearable the first times.


    After practicing with magic I tried to use the most I can without needing to rest, then I I get ready for school, my uniform my money if I need something after school and my books, since paper was not one of the things that become common in this world like the modern underwear with the elastic and all, they are still expensive as if were the medieval era.You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.


    And now the ¡°family¡± time, the breakfast.


    ¡°Good morning¡±


    ¡°Good morning Dina, here is the breakfast, eggs, bread, fruits, and milk¡±


    ¡°Thanks, July¡±


    July the receptionist in her late twenties, with long brown hair and black eyes, is trying to do the role of a mother, is weird, only two months to know each other and this happens, but now I think I know why she is doing this.


    ¡°Are you having good dreams?¡±


    She asks that question since the first day of our travel to the capital.


    ¡°July, I have a question¡±


    ¡°What is?¡±


    ¡°I talk in dreams¡­...or in nightmares?¡±


    ¡°...¡±


    Now she tensed, that was the answer.


    ¡°What I said? since when? and how many times?¡±


    ¡°......¡±


    Mute.


    ¡°Say it July, I know that you transferring here was not a coincidence and less that you bought a house in one of the best places of the capital, that is in one of the closest roads to the magic school, I know that you did this for me, why I don''t know, and your act of mother is very awkward¡±


    ¡°Not much, I only know that in your dreams you say ¡°You are not my mother¡± and that your brother despise you but that''s all¡±


    ¡°......¡±


    Well, things can go worse.


    ¡°Okay, hear me, what happened in the past, stay in the past, you don''t have to try hard in me to have a happy life I want that too¡±


    ¡°But, but...snif¡±


    ¡°...Sight...July we will talk about it when I come back to school, is almost time for me to go, today I have free time in the afternoon and we can have a talk, okay?¡±


    ¡°......¡±


    ¡°Well, take care¡±


    And I left July with a sad face while going to school, I chose a bad time to have this talk.


    "This was a bad way to start the day"

 We have to talk

    Class time, the time when one learns so he can have a bright future. That''s the case on Earth, here is a time where people compete to know who is better in what, right now we are in the math class since this class is important to the nobles to know how to count their riches and to the merchants to know how much they have.


    ¡°The answer is 27¡±


    Someone kill me please, this class is supposed to be advanced and we only are studying multiplication, now I answer to a multiplication of 9x3, but for them, even this is a mathematical problem that needs a whole paper to resolve.


    ¡°Correct, good job¡±


    The class is boring but the teacher is of my favorites, he is a bastard child of one of the noble houses here, he gains his position with hard work and some help of the director of the school, again thanks for the gossips people.


    ¡°That''s all for today¡±


    ¡°Dina, you are amazing that one was truly difficult, how can you do it?¡±


    ¡°Hello Bodrus, I only know them is easy for me¡±


    ¡°I am envious, I hope to be as intelligent as you¡±


    ¡°Study hard that''s the only way¡±


    ¡°Is that so?¡±


    ¡°Yes¡±


    ¡°Oh well, and how is your day?¡±


    ¡°It started badly but now is good¡±


    ¡°Started badly?, why?¡±


    ¡°My private life, I don''t want to talk¡±


    ¡°I understand, you want to go to eat?¡±


    ¡°Yes, thank you¡±


    We go up and started to walk to the cafeteria, then we started to talk about how annoying are some things, for me is Balt, for him is his master, what we like, mostly food, our hobbies, for me is to train in magic and to strengthen my body and music, but since I don''t have a piano is impossible for me to play. He likes to read books, go to the concerts of the noble people when he accompanies his master and to train his skills of dual blades, mostly daggers.


    ¡°You know that people are gossiping about us?¡±If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    ¡°Yes, I really like to hear the gossips of the people, they are very informative¡±


    ¡°T-then, do you know?¡±


    ¡°About you, not really, I want to stay the way we are right now so even if someone tries to say something about you to me I won''t hear it, and when I hear a gossip about you I made my best to not hear¡±


    ¡°That''s¡­...thank you¡±


    ¡°Why?¡­...ah!, but if complications happen to appear, say to me so I can flee at any time¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°I don''t want to be involved in any plotting so if something happens then tell so I can be out of the way¡±


    ¡°I will¡±


    ¡°Thanks¡±


    Ignorance is a bliss, so I will ignore with all my might anything related to Brodus, I really need a friend to talk, I am almost mute excluding the lab.


    ¡°Time to eat!¡±


    This is one of the things that are good of this academy, excluding the students this academy is almost perfect, the library, training areas, classrooms, gardens and the buildings are like they were taken out of a paint. And the food, it was the most delicious thing I ever eat, I don''t know why but the meals here are in a different league than that of Emory, but with all the plotting, the backstabbing and bullying make one forget about the rest.


    ¡°I never will be tired of the food in this academy¡±


    ¡°Don''t eat much¡±


    ¡°Don''t worry, becoming fat will be difficult for me¡±


    I start to train my body since an early age, I made sure that my body wasn''t hurt for my training until I could build muscles, but since I made sure to always move my body I can eat as my heart''s content.


    ¡°That was delicious~¡±


    ¡°......You sure eat a lot¡±


    ¡°I exercise every day so I need to eat a lot¡±


    After the lunch, we go back to our class, and again all was normal, lessons, gossips and some who wants to ridicule me. Since I am a commoner without a real backing is like putting a target in me, but I know that the most they will do is harassment inside the school and I make sure that is only in school.


    Time passed and I go directly to the house. Since July is still working I wait for her, then I see July enter the house, with a depressed look.


    ¡°Hello July¡±


    ¡°......¡±


    ¡°Want to have a walk?¡±


    ¡°......¡±


    ¡°You didn''t say no~¡±


    I take her hand and go where Oscar is, since the house is in the middle of the capital I go to a family with a farm in the outskirts that is taking good care of him, I pay them and befriend them to make sure that he is being treated well. I know that they will try to save their asses if something happens but I train Oscar to listen to me and I made a hideout in a forest and if something happened he will go there, in the off days that I have I go to that place so that Oscar could remember the way.


    ¡°Hello, Oscar~¡±


    ¡°Oh, excuse me I could rent a horse for my friend? I will pay 1 silver¡±


    ¡°Sure~!¡±


    This family is kind-hearted, but a business is a business and I don''t want to make them have a burden, also the other horse is of them so I pay, but I think that I pay way too much.


    ¡°Blurf!¡±


    ¡°Okay, okay, we are going, sheesh, you sure want to go out¡±


    With all the preparations done we go to have a stroll, while the horses walk we see the crops.


    ¡°July, we have to talk¡±

 New headache coming

    July we have to talk.


    ¡°.......¡±


    Why she can''t say a thing whe-


    ¡°Sorry¡±


    ¡°About what?¡±


    ¡°I know that we don''t know for a long time and that I tried to taking you in my care, but you are so independent that apparently I wasn''t needed at all...I''m sorry¡±


    ¡°I don''t care¡±


    ¡°!?¡±


    ¡°I know that you want to help me and to be frank I like it, but I am not a person that can easily trust another person, I need time, if you want to help me it will be your own decision but my past won''t be a thing to talk, never¡±


    ¡°I...I understand¡±


    ¡°Thanks¡±


    I thought it would be more sentimental but it se-huk!


    ¡°But remember, I am here if you need help¡±


    A hug...some time since someone gave me one...It''s warm.


    Time to go back.


    ¡°July, the sun is going down¡±


    ¡°......¡±


    ¡°Or you go off of me or I will tickle you to death¡±


    ¡°......¡±


    ¡°You asked for it!¡±


    Then I give July a living hell of tickling, it was so hard that made her pee herself. In our way back to not let the seat of the horse smell I showered July''s groin with water magic, since then she not uttered a word, only when we go back to the house she starts to scold me about how disgraceful was to only put water on her groin and not in all over her.


    ¡°You could said it before going back¡±


    ¡°I forgot!¡±


    ¡°Sorry, sorry, the next time you pee yourself I will wash your whole body instead of only your groin¡±


    After that things become normal again, I go to school, then to the laboratory and go back to the house. Since I was tasked to give to Baltsara my investigation of what is ¡°Sparks magic¡± I only say what I remember of electricity.If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.


    ¡°Is energy, a form of energy¡±


    ¡°That''s all?¡±


    ¡°If you want a more mystic way to say it then is up to you, I only say what I know and that''s it¡±


    ¡°Is better than nothing, I will put it in the journal, now we are going to try the strengths and weaknesses¡±


    ¡°About that, I don''t know the other elements but this magic is weak to earth, and if use sparks magic in metal or water and an enemy is touching them the attack will go to them ¡±


    ¡°......¡±


    ¡°......¡±


    ¡°......¡±


    I know that this was a something that naturally a day worth of time is not but I want to skip the part were the group discover the obvious things. After that, we began to investigate in more ways about lightning. It feels strange to investigate something that you know more or less what does, but it was fun as if I was doing a project of school. Some days passed after that day and now Baltsara behaves like a cartoon mad scientist, but without the evil laughter.


    ¡°We are close, I can feel it, some more days and this new magic is going to be released in the world!¡±


    ¡°See you tomorrow¡±


    But I didn''t care, I was going to my house to eat dinner talk with July, brush my teeth and go to sleep to end the day but¡­...


    ¡°Hello Dina, sorry about the mess, but things go out of control¡±


    I saw July in the living room/kitchen tying three people in black clothes, the room had some broken furniture, in the walls are proofs that a sword was used inside the house and said sword was in the corner of the room.


    ¡°...Let me guess, you are able to defend yourself a proof of that is that you are a receptionist in the magic guild, right?¡±


    ¡°We receptionists are members of the magic guild too, but to become one you need to be a member for a long time, we are mages with power and a variety of spells and since we have to deal with prideful and powerful people we are backed by the guild, even a king have to think twice before trying to attack me¡±


    ¡°Then that means that the one targeting you is some stupid noble who is ignorant of my position as a member of the magic guild or that I live with a receptionist of the magic guild or both¡±


    ¡°Yes, but who and why? that question will be answered when these people wake¡±


    ¡°I recommend to strip them naked, they may have something in them that can free them¡±


    ¡°I-i-i I will do that! you go to your room and I will prepare my room to put them there!¡±


    ¡°You will use your room? is not easier to use mine?, my room has fewer things to take out¡±


    ¡°But then we-¡±


    ¡°I will sleep in the living room¡±


    Is the only thing I can do, her room has so many things like herbs, books and papers that it would take a whole day to take them out, on the other hand, mine only has a desk with books my bed and my backpack and since there is no sofa in the house I will need to sleep in the living room, with the furniture broken the room has enough space for my bed, I don''t love the idea but is what we can do.


    ¡°NO!¡±


    "......"


    I have a big headache when I remember the discussion with July about sleeping in the living room, the worst part is that I give in and I sleep with her, it was not that bad, but I was conscious of her body the whole time and it made me nervous until I fall asleep. The next day I go to school since July didn''t give me a chance to interrogate the people whose faces I don''t know since I never saw them without their masks, July striped them in my room and she didn''t let me see them after that. Now I am in going to my first class while pondering why the mask men tried to attack me July.


    ¡°July¡±


    ¡°?...oh, Brodus?, hello, how are you doing¡±


    ¡°......Remember when you told me about telling you if a scheme was taking place?¡±


    ¡°......Talk to me after school, now I''m feeling like I will have a headache thanks to you....I''m safe in school?¡±


    ¡°Yes...I''m very sorry¡±


    Yep, a new headache is coming.
