A/N: First story here on webnovel not translated or anything just curious about reincarnation and stuff and I wanted to create a story with my own twist and ideas. hope you like it.

Since, I haven't been to publish chapters due to certain things called exams (which are still going on) I decided on a Q/A special!!

LET'S GO: *SARA BEAUTY CORNER STYLE*

Author: Uhm.. lemme *manages to sit on the tall chair, hating the fact that she is small* Finally! Yeah, I am ready.

Interviewer: So Ms.-

Author: Let me just tell you that I love the fact that you called me miss, if you call me ma'am or the great author I totally wouldn't mind.

Interviewer: Uh- I was talking to Anastasia-?

Author: Oh. *T.T* It's not like I am getting mad over here.

Anastasia: BEGIN THE QUESTIONs, YOU THOT!

Interviewer: *staring at her nervously* Uh- first of all, can I ask why was I called here? I mean, Cristopher is a much more recommended interviewer than me..?

Anastasia: *laughs in a high pitched voice* What? It's not like I hate that name-

Author: *remembering when she tried to attack her when she said she liked the name Cristopher*

Anastasia: -Or I attacked him and have him trapped in my black, suspicious looking bag.

Author and the Interviewer: *Stares at the long, quivering bag near Anastasia*

Grace: Hey! Tessa! I hid all the evidence and- Ooh! ARE WE ON AIR?!

Interviewer: Uh.. Can you describe your height and face and stuff?

Anastasia: *glares* IT IS NOT STUFF! I SWEAR I AM NOT FAT, THE DRESSES JUST DON'T FIT-

Author: Oh for goodness sake! TELL THE READERS ABOUT YOUR HEIGHT AND STUFF!

Anastasia: Oh. Uh.. I am 5'5 (don't worry, I can still kick your ass *wink*) and I have light brown eyes and brown hair that looks wavy because it is in a bun most of the times.And- I AM NOT-

Author: WE ARE OVER THIS! MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE!

Interviewer: *clears throat* Okay, what about you grace?

Grace: Are we on air?

Author: *Looks at the starstruck character before sighing lightly* Grace and Leonard share the same blue eyes even though they are fraternal siblings, Grace had dirty blonde hair and Leonard has dark brown ones. 

Interviewer: What about you 'Oh great Author'? *Cringes but the author ignores him*

Author: *smiles nervously* I am a girl. 

Interviewer: And?

Author: Huh? I am still a girl!

Interviewer: *Looks at her weirdly* Moving on- What are your beliefs?

Grace: *Snaps from her spell* LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, MEN ARE CHAUVINIST PIGS WHO CONSIDERED GIRLS TO BE AIR HEADED AND ONLY CARE ABOUT DRESSES BUT WE ARE MUCH MORE THAN THAT, WE DESERVE MUCH MORE THAN WE RECEIVE! THEY SAY THAT THEY ARE STRONG BUT HAVE THEY EVER PUSHED A KID OUT?-

Author: *mutters* Have you?

Grace: *ignores her* WOMEN ARE KILLED BEFORE THEY ARE BORN. ARE YOU CRAZY PEOPLE? WE LITERALLY CONTINUE THE HUMAN SPECIES. YOU IDIOTS! YOU WANT A MOTHER, A GRANDMOTHER, A WIFE BUT NOT A DAUGHTER ARE YOU-?

Interviewer: Thank you for the colourful insight, let Anastasia speak now!

Anastasia: I know that I am on air and I am supposed to answer a question right now but let me just tell you, the person who created chocolate was basically god in disguise.

Interviewer: Uhh..Thank you for your... wisdom? What about your beliefs though?

Anastasia: Hmm, although I do agree with Grace, I am just not as headstrong and violent like her. I do agree that some men are like that but not all. I just feel that everyone should be given an equal chance. Like everyone, it doesn't matter if they are male or female or if they are black or white or what religion they follow. Heck! Their species shouldn't matter!

Interviewer: So.. you are saying that cats and dogs should also be allowed to vote?

Anastasia: Yes! Don't they live in our country too?

Interviewer: But the idea seems quite absurd-

Anastasia: *Attacks him* LIVE FOR EQUALITY!

Author: *Ignores them* Hmm, intriguing maybe my next book should be called 'Rule By The Cats'

Leonard: What the heck Auth? Cats? Ew! Make it dogs.

Author: What is wrong with cats?!

Leonard: They get possessed by evil spirits all the frickin' time!

Author: ..... That makes it more interesting.

Leonard: But-

Author: *Hits him with a pan* Oops. 

Grace: Are we on air?

Author: *sighs* Okay, enough! I'm tired. Bye-Bye guys!

*Begins to turn off the camera and the audience hears her shouting at Anastasia to stop beating the Interviewer with her bar of chocolate*

Audience: *slowly brushes off the popcorn before standing* Well, that was certainly a waste of time

Comment your questions about the characters if you have any and they shall be replied in Q/A Special Part 2!

Knowing the royal family was as common as breathing. 

Seeing the royal family in flesh and blood was a chance that was received by only a few. 

Talking to the royal family immediately classified you as an important and rich person 

And being the royal family was probably the most highest position you could ever receive. Right?

Anastasia Castellanos, who is the royal family doesn't seem to think so. For her, being able to be independent is more important than being famous

What a crazy odd duckling in the mixture of empty headed but beautiful swans.

While large, the conference room was far too small for the crowd of cultivators within it. The core of the room was a technologically advanced holographic birds eye view of a battle encompassing thousands of cultivators and demons. While the room had been relatively quiet when battle had sparked it became deadly silent as the sudden appearance of 2 additional deity stage cultivators broke the stalemate. The oppositions defensive formations broke after a single swing of the sword and as the wave of sword qi swept relentlessly onward it left a trail of cultivators falling from the sky.  

"Where the hell did he get two more Deity stage cultivators from?", vocalised an overly muscled body cultivator breaking the silence.  
"I call hacks", called out an old monk with a cheeky smile on his face. 
Before discussions could devolve further an overdressed beauty interposed, "Deity stage cultivators start the war game with 3 Yuanyang elders." 
"But the games only been going for 100 years. How has they're cultivation risen up so fast?", asked a young man in a business suit confused. 
While the muscled man moaned, "don't remind me. Right at the start of the game Lan Feng absolutely destroyed me. I had no chance!" 
"For the experimental beta test time was set to 3x speed", a thousand-year-old little girl reminded the commentators. "Though that still seems a little fast, she added. 
"A little fast?", echoed around the room voices tinged with disbelief. 
A mousy man in a lab coat and overly large glasses interrupted the muttering, "when the beta launched it was decided that game wouldn't be completely realistic when it comes to advancement timeframe realism". 
He waved his hands as voices cried out towards him. "Let me finish!", he yelled over the clamour. As the noise settled down he finished, "This was later overruled by the deity Jonathon who claimed it messed with the evolution of all living creatures within the game world." 
The room sank into a thoughtful quiet. Everyone going back to watching the holographic display on the table.  

"Lan Feng's character is fighting!", a bald monk called out in anticipation. 
The Holographic display started bouncing between several characters on the map. 
"It's 2 vs 1", the muscled man from before said pityingly, smiling in malicious glee. 
"He could still escape", a uniformed young man said hopefully. 
There were some nods from the spectators. 
"He won't though", an old lady rejected. When several people looked at her in confusion she added, "they are concluding the game in preparation for the kingdom wide release." 
"Ah! I thought it was odd that Lan Feng chose to clash head on with Vasily. That's never been his style", noted a different uniformed man.  

The audience stopped talking as the battle picked up and stayed quiet for the next hour as the deity stage cultivators battled. The sheer power of the spells and battle techniques being used destroyed the surrounding terrain and left the spectators, even with their own powerful cultivation states, starstruck. It ended with the predicted defeated of Lan Feng though the audience commiserated. 

"It wasn't particularly realistic that Lee Feng simply stood and fought." stated an overweight man wearing an oddly disproportionate chef's hat. His voice rose over the general discussions and most chose to nod in ratification.   

"So, it's just Jonathon and Vasily's sects left, right?", the little girl from before asked. 
Several knowledgeable individuals nodded in answer while the mousy man answered, "The last of the 100 yuanyang stage participants in the beta test was eliminated last week." 
"My sect was crushed by the Nether-fire Pheonix race NPC faction when I tried to escape from Lan Feng and Vasily's conquests", quietly said a beggar-esque old man sadly. 
Those that heard him over their own conversations nodded glumly in commiseration. They all had their own stories of misery.  

"Jonathon's sect is in that valley at the center of the continent", an Amazonian woman noted.  
"I was curious but far too scared to go anywhere near it", muttered a foreboding man all in black equipped with cowl and cloak in reply. 
Several equally terrifyingly dressed individuals spoke out in agreement. 
A black armored knight said, "Jonathon may not be a battle cultivator but..." 
"He's eccentric", a wolf man agreed. 
"Eccentric or not, there's not much you can do about that", said a simply dressed swordsman nodding towards the temporarily forgotten holographic display.  

On the display the might of Vasily's forces was clear. 3 deity stage cultivators leading a force a hundred thousand strong. It was rather dramatic since only the thousand odd Yuanyang stage cultivators were relevant out of that hundred thousand strong army since Vasily chose for them not to form battle formations. Several hours passed as the horde moved across the game world. The spectators waited expectantly for the century long conclusion to the war games beta test.  

When the army arrived, Jonathon's valley was revealed to be idyllic as the bird's eye view spanned overhead. Ringed by mountains the valley was covered in lush farms with herds of animals moving within pastures. Fields of golden grains and orchards of fruit. Picturesque. 
"Terrifying", a grandmotherly old lady stated with no trace of sarcasm. 
The audience nodded in agreement. 
"Nothing will stop the First Sword", stated the same swordsman as before. When he didn't get the agreement, he was looking for he continued, "He has 3 deity stage battle cultivators." 
Most of the spectators acknowledged the accuracy of his statement while several people including the mousy man in a lab coat didn't seem to agree but they said nothing. 

On the screen the 3 deity stage cultivators slowly approached, flying across the sky dramatically they finally hovered over the peak of the tallest mountain. They dramatically drew their swords and prepared to unleash their strength on the peaceful valley below. 
"I don't see how Jonathon could stop them", muttered the black armored knight. 
As if in answer, the deity stage sword cultivators stopped mid-action. They looked around startled by something then- Boom! The mountain below them crumbled splitting apart and out of the resulting crevasse rose a dragon.  
"An immemorial earth dragon", stated a scholarly old man in shock. 
"It must be near ascension", a previously quiet woman said in enthusiasm. 
As the full might of the dragon was revealed it dominated the entire game world. While only some of its body broke free from the mountain it was enough to reveal that it must be near a hundred kilometers long with a matching wingspan. Just the thought of such a creature would provoke both awe and terror. The sword qi of the deity stage cultivators that could easily split mountains and cleave oceans simply deflected from the dragon's scales. The dragon aura it exuded caused the mass of lower stage cultivators to fall from the sky. Spirit animals and beasts in the valley below bowed in acknowledgement and fear of their god and king. There was no retreat for the sword sect, no prolonged battle between experts. One sudden bite and all three were swallowed. The game was over.  

"Nothing can stop the First Sword", the swordsman muttered miserably. 
The little girl patted his arm in commiseration, "normally the deity cultivators would be able to retreat." 
"I wouldn't be surprised if Jonathon suggested the additional rule just so he could win so shockingly", an old monk laughed over the general shock of the spectators. With the game over the spectators began to rapidly exit the stiflingly crowded conference room. Many walking together in discussion. 
Still at the table the old scholarly man smiled knowingly "messed with the evolution of all living creatures within the game world", he quoted. Moments later he disappeared in a flash of light.

Sometimes it is not your path to become the greatest sword god. To split mountains and cleave oceans. Sometimes you are never meant to release world destroying magic. To fight tooth and nail for each step on the road of cultivation. For the immortal child he started out as a simple farmer. To journey on the path of life and creation.

Weeks have passed, the theater is jam-packed of people who are watching the play. After weeks of sacrifices, the whole production team of the theater is able to produce a standing ovation play. The pre-production team is granted a permission to watch the play, act as a marshall or have a rest. I chose to act as a marshall together with Lewis. Christina chose to watch the play and Leia decided to have a rest. Today is the last day of the five-day showing of the play. Nasa magkabilang side kami ng pinto ni Lewis, nagkekwentuhan. 

"You know Derrick, the rumors has it that a royal of Luxembourg is here watching this play? Tanong ni Lewis.

"Oh, really? Where is he?" tanong ko naman at pinilit tingnan ang mga tao sa audience. 

"You didn't see him as we passed by? He looks like an average European and stuff." Kinibit balikat ko na lang ang sinabi ni Lewis sakin. Natapos na ang play at pinakilala na ang mga characters sa play. Inannounce din ang presensya ng isang Count na part ng royal family ng Luxembourg. Alexander Frederick ang pangalan niya. Gwapo din naman at may cheekbones na mahahalata mo kahit malayo pa lang. Kasama niya ang asawa niya. Maganda ang asawa niya kahit malayo pa lang. Umayos na kami ni Lewis nang makita namin na papalapit na sila. 

"Wow. What a nice name." late reaction ni Lewis nang marining ang pangalan ng royal guy.
 Kumaway ang mag-asawa at nang makalapit na sila samin at ngumiti sila pareho samin at umalis na ng tuluyan sa teatro. Wow. Nakakastarstruck sila. Hindi sila ang tipo ng mga prinsipe na pinapakita sa Disney. Iba ang karisma nila.  Tinignan ko sila Lewis at na-starstruck din siya. Natawa ako sa ekspresyon niya na naging hudyat na ng kulitan namin. 

Matapos umalis ang mga audience, tinipon kami ng manager para sa isang meeting. Nandoon ang production staff at ang marketing staff na magrereport ng mga na-accomplish ng teatro. Nagsimula na ang marketing staff sa kanilang report. Sinabi nila na maraming nanood ng play. Habang tumatagal ang play, mas maraming tao ang nanonood. They gave Lewis a praise dahil kakaiba ang genre ng play niya. He thanked them for their praise. Siyempre, pinasalamatan din nya ang lahat ng bumubuo ng teatro. The whole production staff and the executives na sumuporta sa play namin. Tumayo ang manager namin na si Sir Lee at may inannounce din.

"And now for the main report, the meilleur du meilleur of the report. The Royal Family of Luxembourg invites us to perform at the Palace by next week. We are still performing Lewis' play and we are still using the same props. Maybe we can polish some actors and repair some props." 
Hindi na namin narinig ang ibang sinabi ni Sir Lee dahil sumigaw na kami sa sobrang tuwa at excitement. Isang malaking karangalan ang magpresent sa mga tinitingalang tao dito sa Luxembourg. Pati din si Lewis ay hindi makapaniwala sa narinig at niyakap ako na kinabigla ko. Wow. I hope that this theater will become more successful than it is right now. Niyakap ko din siya pabalik at sabay na nagdiwang na parang nanalo sa lotto.

Nag-aayos kami ng mga props. Last minute retouching ng mga actors at final repairing sa props at backdrops. Hinihintay na kami ng convoy ng royal family. Medyo nakakahiya na nga eh. Bongga din ang royal family kasi sila na nagprovide ng truck for our backdrops and props. Tumulong kami ni Lewis sa pagbubuhat ng props. Kinareer na namin ang pagtulong sa mga kasama namin. Sina Leia at Christina, tumulong din sa paggawa ng props at manonood din ng performance sa royal palace. Lahat excited at kabado sa magiging performance nila. Nauna na ang mga executives kasama ang royal representatives. Inutusan na kami ng mga tauhan ng royal family na bilisan na ang pagkilos. Kaming mga  taga-buhat ng props ay sumakay na sa truck. Ang mga actors at iba pang mga kailangan sa play ay pumasok na sa mga van. Umalis na kami sa teatro at pumunta na kami sa royal palace. 

Habang bumabiyahe kami, nahihiyawan ang iba samin. Nakisabay naman is Lewis sa kanila. 

"Shout your worries and wave your hands!" 

Sumigaw ang mga kasama namin sa truck at nakisabay na rin ako. No choice eh.  After nito, sakin siya tumingin at tumabi sakin. Malamang makikipag-usap na naman sakin. 

"Hey, you're a little quiet over there." mahahalata mo sa awra niya na masaya siya. Sumagot naman ako. 

"Yeah, I'm a bit nervous about this. Seeing the royals for the first time, then here we are organizing a play for them."  

He chuckled and said his opinion sa gagawin namin ngayon, 

"There's nothing to be nervous about that. Just be confident that we can do this, okay?" 

Tumango na lang ako bilang sagot. Nagpakasaya na lang ako sa mga magagandang tanawin na nadaraan namin dito sa Luxembourg. Matapos ang ilang minuto, tumambad samin ang magarbong palasyo ng royal family. Balita nga raw na may sakit at may edad na ang Grand Duke na si Francis II. Pumunta kami sa theater room ng palasyo na may kaliitan ng bahagya kaysa sa teatro namin. Inayos na namin ang mga gamit namin. Medyo nahirapan nga kami sa paglipat ng mga props at backdrops dahil baka madumihan ang mga muebles at iba pang mga furnitures ng royal family ng Luxembourg. Tadtad rin ng mga paintings ang mga dingding nila. May kagandahan rin ang theater room ng hari. Siyempre, monarchy sila eh. They have the guts to buy everything they want. Inaayos na rin ng production staff ang mga sound system at lights.  Naghanda na rin ang mga actors na kanina pa aligaga at kabado. Umupo na ang mga executives kasama na rin ang royal representatives. Maya-maya, paisa-isa na ring dumating ang mga miyembro ng royal family. Umupo na rin kaming mga tumulong sa prduction ng hindi kalayuan sa mga executives namin, Una naming nakita si Count Alexander at ang asawa niya na pumasok ng theater room. Dumating na rin ang anak ng hari na si Princess Victoria. May kagandahan si Princess Victoria. Hapit ang suot niyang gown sa kanyang katawan. Hubog ang sexy niyang katawan at umupo na sa harap ng mga executives at royal representatives. Sumunod na dumating ang Grand Duke na si Francis II at ang kanyang asawang si Charlotte. Tumayo ang mga tao sa harap namin kaya nakitayo na rin kami. Bilang paggalang daw sa hari. 

Medyo may katandaan na nga si Grand Duke Francis II ng Luxembourg. Kahit maayos ang kanyang paglalakad at medyo masaya siyang ngumiti samin, makikita mo na mahina na kalagayan niya. Swerte niya nandiyan ang asawa't pamilya niya para umalalay sa kanya. Umupo na kami ulit. Nagsimula na ang pagpresent sa play. Tinitignan namin ang reaksyon ng royal family habang pinapalabas ang play at mukhang seryoso sila. Hindi rin maipinta ang itsura ni Lewis habang tinitignan niya ang reaksyon ng royal family. Nagulat kami ng I-announce nila ang pumasok sa theater room. 

Kung sino man siya, violation 'yon sa protocol. Kailangan laging hari ang mahuhuli. Or in Luxembourg's case, the Grand Duke

Habang nagpeperform ang mga actors namin, nag-announce ang PA ng taong pumasok sa theater room. 

"May I announce to you the presence of the heir apparent and Crown Prince of Luxembourg, His Royal Highness, Prince Philip Augustus!" 

Tinignan namin ang naglalakad na lalaking papunta sa harap ng theater room. 

What the actual fuck? 

It can't be.

Why?

No.

A diploma.
A career.
A life to make it a wonderful creation.

Derrick Breckenridge is a college graduate. Felt like he's being controlled by people around him, he creates his own destiny by working abroad.  With this,  Derrick has the power to control his life. Will his life become a wonderful and aesthetically done?

“Will your husband be ok seeing as how he went into the mountains?” Mo Fan asked.
“Who would’ve known that there’d be light colored warnings outside of the city; it indicates that the residents shouldn’t carelessly wander deep into the mountains. He kept saying that the Hunter Squad lost some supplies while they were following the tracks of a One-eyed Magical Wolf and that he had to personally deliver it. He’s just a logistics employee, yet, he even has the guts to do this kind of life-threatening work. Your dad, no matter what I told him, still wouldn’t listen.” Mo Qing answered.
“My dad went as well?” Mo Fan’s face immediately changed.
“Yeah, they said it would pay a lot. Even Mage Apprentices are too afraid to receive their call, yet, these two normal people…. If nothing happens, then that’s fine. However, if something really were to happen, what’ll happen to us?” Mo Qing said.
“Auntie, don’t worry. They must’ve considered this already; there won’t be any problems. They’re just delivering it to a designated outpost, and the roads from the city to the outpost are still within the safe zone,” Ye Xinxia said from the side.
“Either way, I just wish the two would just obediently do their job within the city. I get worried when they leave the city,” Mo Qing whispered once again.
After hearing Mo Qing’s complaints, Mo Fan began to have a bad feeling.
Father hasn’t come to my school to see me for the past six months. It turns out he picked a different road; he went to deliver goods to the Hunter Magicians patrolling outside. This job is indeed very dangerous compared to his former job where he’d only deliver goods to wealthy people.
……
Although it’s winter break, Mo Fan wasn’t free at all. After staying at Auntie’s place for a few days, Mo Fan returned to Tian Lan Magic High’s library.
The library had the information he needed to replenish, for example, the Black Church which he missed out on.
Mo Fan understood what kind of thing the Black Church was after reading about it.
Those guys are similar to the terror organizations; a large, Evil cult. They frequently did things that would harm the safety of the people. Additionally, for the sake of their own goals, they would even use living people as cultivation material. The country was not lenient on insane things like that, naturally!
In the coming month, Mo Fan wholeheartedly meditated.
After knowing the Lightning element’s stardust would dry up and turn completely dark after only using Lightning Strike twice, Mo Fan began to understand the importance of meditation.
Thus, this entire month, despite how great the temptation of activating Fire element’s skill, Fire Burst, Mo Fan didn’t rashly try to come in contact with Fire element’s star. He must solidify his foundation first.
As he was engrossed in meditation and treated all of this as a habit, the time passed very quickly.
Soon enough, it became the start of the school again.
Inside the library, Mo Fan swept off the cobwebs that covered his body; ready to meet the new magic school term.
In a high spirit, Mo Fan walked into the classroom and sat down in a seat at the very back, just like always.
“Eh?”
There’s something wrong today.
Mo Fan looked at Zhang Xiaohou next to him and discovered this lad didn’t look alright.
Normally, this guy’s expression would be just like a curious little monkey, a clever one. Moreover, he would incessantly tell Mo Fan about his past few days during class.
Today, however, his eyes looked dull, his mouth was slightly open, and his face was filled with an unfathomable intoxicated gaze as he looked toward the front.
As he looked around his surroundings, the two study wrecks, Xu Qinglin and Lu Xiaobing were showing the same expression; it was as though they were being possessed!
Shit, don’t tell me what Auntie said really is true. There is a One-eyed Magical Wolf within the city and these lads have all been infected by it!
“Good morning class, the teacher for your Practical Magic class has fallen ill and is currently at home recuperating. From today on, I will be in charge of everyone’s Practical Magic classes. My name is Tangyue!” A mature, beautiful and bright sound resounded.
After being accustomed to the hoarse and slow voice of an old man, the sudden appearance of a mature woman’s voice with a charming and the sexy tune swept past like the spring wind brushing the grounds; this caused the slightly tired Mo Fan to immediately wake up!
He raised his head as he searched for the origins of the voice with expectation. Mo Fan’s eyes were starstruck and his expression appeared enchanted.
What the hell, who cares about the Evil-eyed Marsh Monster that can confuse people's hearts? It’s evident that the souls of the males with the exuberant hormones were attracted by this newly arrived, extraordinarily beautiful female teacher.
This teacher, Tangyue, wore a standard, black suit. In between the outer black suit and the white shirt on the inside were a bulging, majestic, and glamorous mountain peaks that were about to burst. This made Mo Fan wonder whether the little buttons on the chest was really capable of holding up this turbulent wave.
Annoying, this really is annoying.
 _The early morning has always been the time where the young men are at their most violent. As they were stimulated like this, I reckon the majority will have a rather shameful appearance._
“It’s been half a year since you awakened, and there’s not a single person who has been able to use their magic. However, I hope you understand that being able to control an immense power does not signify that you know how to use it. If you don’t properly control your powers, then they’ll backfire on you,” Mrs. Tangyue quickly entered her teaching state.
Originally, the teacher’s earnest and solemn attitude caused many little tyrants to come back to their senses. Who would’ve known that the second she turned around after writing some important segments on the blackboard, the entire class would get nosebleeds?
What a disaster. Bulging and round, Mo Fan was definitely a normal male student. At this moment, the exact same scene came to his head.
Ahem!
How could one let one’s imagination run wild in a sacred school? Either way, Mo Fan wholeheartedly wanted to study; Mo Fan was definitely not the same as this group of people who only thought with their lower body. _In any case, I definitely won’t wear tight pants to the Practical Magic classes again. Not every organism is capable of being like a climbing tiger; move around the obstacle and continue what they’re doing._
The Practical Magic classes went on for the entire morning. After finishing theory, Tangyue brought everyone to the field; personally showing everyone the essential keys to Magic Activation.
Mo Fan also earnestly listened to this class; for example, what Mrs. Tangyue had said concerning the Magic Activation Link, Mo Fan have already experienced it. It’s just, he didn’t understand how the buttons on the front of Mrs. Tangyue’s chest were so durable; it’s been so long yet they still hadn’t burst?
Naturally, the school field isn’t supposed to be used for radio calisthenics.
The field was actually just the practice grounds, they had been divided into several independent spaces using a Magic Barrier which Mo Fan didn’t understand. All the overflowing power would be absorbed by the transparent barrier; this was to prevent harming the students who didn’t have any kind of ability.
“Look closely; I will demonstrate the primary skill of Fire element, Fire Burst!” Tangyue stood in the middle of the students.
The students assembled into a half arc, scattered behind Mrs. Tangyue. Whether everyone really was watching Mrs. Tangyue’s hand seals was something that no one was sure of.
“Fire Burst, it’s the skill of Fire element. Brother Mo Fan….wipe your saliva, it’s your element’s skill. Never did I think that Mrs. Tangyue, who looks so tender and virtuous, would actually be a Fire Mage!” Zhang Xiaohou nudged the Mo Fan beside him.
“Oh, oh, I want to learn this!” Only then did Mo Fan come back to his senses.

He woke up in a familiar world that had vastly changed.

His familiar school had become a mystical school that teaches magic, encouraging everyone to become a mighty magician.

Outside the city, many wandering magical beasts and monsters attacked and preyed on humans.

His world of advanced science changed into one that praised magic. Despite this, his ambition in life, and his social status remained the same; one of the dregs of the society with a struggling father and a disabled step sister that couldn’t walk.

However, Mo Fan found that when most people could only practice a single major element of magic, he was a Versatile Mage!

"Hey Hatsugawa, aren't we spending too much time here already?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Isn't this enough? I mean, there are only 10 minutes left before the thing."

"That's true. That's why we need to focus more, right?"

"This is surprising though. I did not know procrastination is your thing."

"Not really. It was just announced late that's why we're here late."

"Yeah, but I mean it's just a Pop Quiz. There's no need to be worked up that much."

"I have to impress Fubuki-sama in order to gain her acknowledgement. Can you shut up?! It's harder to focus with you talking."

"Fine fine."



These two are still arguing even though they are inside the library, however, they have to be cultured enough that's why they're whispering. In front of Erika was a pile of history books and in front of Kairo is another pile of books that Erika will read. The reason was Mitsuo meeting the two of them in the cafeteria on lunch time and told them that there will be a pop quiz to welcome the new members the club. It seems that Erika took this remark in a whole new level that the amount of books she is currently reading is enough for her to compete for inter-town quiz bees.


"We should really get going by now, Hatsugawa. The club activities will start in a while."

"Tch, fine. I'll just borrow this book in the mean time." On her way out, she looked at another book, thinking that she should bring that too, and another.... and another book. Because of this, Kairo snapped and grabbed some of the books she took. "It's just a pop quiz bee! Don't get worked up that much!"

"SSSSSSSSSHHHH!!" the librarian angrily hushed the two of them and they twitched a bit.

"FINE! I'm sorry! I just acted by habit." Erika huffed and went to the librarian to borrow the one book that contains most of the data she needs. 


TShe then walked with Kairo towards the club room, fully equipped and upon entering, she saw the seniors in front and the first years, sitting on desks.

"Glad you two made it in time. We're just about to start." Mitsuo said with a smile. He was holding some whiteboards so it seems like this will be a speed contest. Sayaka Fubuki, being in front of the room, is very much noticeable. It was as if she's giving radiance in the room just with her presence alone. Erika was starstruck, and when she met eyes with Sayaka, the lady smiled at her which made her heart race in excitement. She got motivated with just one look.


Kairo, on the other hand, glanced at Erika for a while then at Sayaka. He kept his words to himself. He did not want to offend Erika when she just got this excited.


"The quiz will be done by pairs. Since the others here already have their pairs, Hatsugawa and Moriyama, you two will go together. Please take the seat at the back, you will share this whiteboard." Mitsuo said when he gave the board to the two of them to which they went to their seat. "The question will be repeated twice before the signal of go. The point will be given to the pair who raises their board first with the correct answer. Whoever gets the most points will be declared the winner and therefore be included in the inter-town quiz bee along with some of us seniors this coming August. I hope you're prepared for this."


Kairo covered his mouth in surprise after hearing that. "Oh damn."

"I TOLD YOU WE SHOULD'VE STAYED LONGER!!!" Erika punched Kairo numerous times, scolding the poor guy for minding the time.

"Don't get too angry at me! If I did not drag you out of the library, we wouldn't be able to participate in the quiz in the first place." he reasons out.

Mitsuo coughed a bit to get the attention of the two. "Hey, stop bickering. We are gonna start the quiz now.", to which the two complied and behaved. "Are the mechanics clear?"

"YES!"

"Very well, we'll start now." Mitsuo walked while looking at his questionnaires. He then began to ask. "Which Japanese Prime Minister received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1974?"

While the other freshmen are thinking of their own answers, Kairo looked at Erika instead. He was the one holding the pen so it was as if he assigned himself to the task of writing while Erika is assigned to thinking.

"Eisaku Sato." Erika simply said and looked at Kairo. The guy then nodded and wrote the answer on he board and raised it first.

"Eisaku Sato is correct. 1 point for Hatsugawa-Moriyama pair."



Erika grinned at Kairo happily and raised her hand a high five to which Kairo responded. But the transition in their expressions are quick when the second question is approaching.



"What were the three Axis Powers in World War II?"


The same cycle was done. Kairo looked at Erika while waiting for an answer, and the girl gave her answers.

"Japan, Germany and Italy. You know, the three stooges in Hetalia?"

"They ain't stooges. Italy is the only idiot." Kairo said while writing.

"Wha---Moriyama, you actually watch Hetalia?"

"You're one to talk. You're the one who said it first" Kairo slightly chuckled before raising the board. However, because of their small talk, the point was given to the other pair just because of a millisecond of delay. Erika pouted because of losing that point but she conditioned herself for the next one.


"Who held the administrative power in Japan from the 12th century to the middle of the last century?"

You know that feeling when all of a sudden, knowledge suddenly came to you? Erika was like that when she elbowed Kairo and said, "The Samurais." The guy was already writing a few characters ob the board though and because of Erika's attack, the pen draw a line across his writing. He grunts because of the mess but he raised the board anyway. "Don't hit me, you idiot!"

"Correct. Point for Hatsugawa-Moriyama pair."

"I'm sorry okay!"



The runs of questions were continuous with Sayaka facilitating the whole event. Kairo and Erika actually have good chemistry in this quiz, well mainly because there is a good division of labor; Kairo writing, Erika answering. It came to pass where Mitsuo went to his last question.



"In which year did Japan become a United Nations member?"

Erika slightly became agitated, being unable to be quick in giving her answer. She looked down for a while, thinking if it was 1965 or 1956. She couldn't look at Kairo. At this moment, they are a point away from winning since she knew that their pair tied with another, that's why they need to get this question right in order to win. She bit her lower lip, thinking harder and harder, but the next thing she knew, she heard the words:


"1 point for Hatsugawa-Moriyama pair. Congratulations, you two will participate in the inter town quiz bee." 

The sound of clapping pulled her back in the real world. Upon looking around, she saw Kairo clapping while looking at her with the whiteboard clipped under his arms.



"What year did you right, Moriyama?"

"Huh? What? You said 1956 so I wrote it."


Erika narrowed her eyes as she looked at Kairo but she couldn't complain here, not now. She even saw Sayaka Fubuki smile at her while clapping which made her a little bit happy, but just a little bit. She kept quiet for now. 

The quiz came to an end and one by one, the History Club members left. Sayaka passed by the frozen Erika and whispered a bit.

"Not bad."


Erika was surprised and she couldn't help but turn around to look at the back of the person she admires. She smiled, but then again she couldn't celebrate so she waited for the perfect time where everybody leaves and they are the only one remaining, Kairo and her.



"I did not say any year. You wrote 1956 on your own, didn't you?"

"Does it really matter?"

"YES IT MATTERS!! Why did you lie to everyone saying I was the one who gave the answer?!" Erika felt betrayed since Kairo started doing things on his own and still, she got the credit for it.

"Like I said, it doesn't matter." Kairo simply said. "After all, this is just a pop quiz, like what it is in the first place. What matters is that you got in. We'll play in the real thing, and you..." Kairo flicked Erika's forehead. ".....go kick some ass in the real stadium." He said while smirking. Erika looked at him, wide-eyed, as he picked up his bag and hangs it on his shoulder. "Let's go home."



What the hell? When did he start being this cool?

Some girls dream of marrying a prince. But a few of this "some girls" take dreaming to a whole new level.


On the red corner, we have Erika Hatsugawa, a self-proclaimed "the future empress of Japan", who has been in love with the Emperor's son since she first saw the Emperor's son....in pictures. However, her dream seems to contradict with what fate gave her. Being in the type of status that she is in at the moment, it is bizarre how she set her eyes on actually marrying the prince. It is almost impossible (even me as a writer finds it it impossible) but there's always the "what-if" phenomenon.


Erika's family was never blessed with fortune. They are living the substandard life, eating substandard food, and having substandard ways, but Erika never thought being in that state forever. Her goals are so high, she is actually flaring the "monarch's life" within her it started to become quite cringing for the people around her. 


Meanwhile on the blue corner, we have Kairo Moriyama, who is probably the most boring person Erika has ever met. There is no special role for him except that he's actually everywhere Erika is. It was rude to think this way though, since this Kairo Moriyama is blessed with looks and overwhelming charisma, which is something Erika quite hated about him, making him the main target for her bullying. However, given the fact that he's indeed everywhere, it is safe to assume that this is destiny's game. Who would've thought that Kairo Moriyama is the main key to make her dreams come true.





Will Erika succeed in attaining the life that she wanted? Will there be a switch for her dreams to come true and change her life from poverty to wealth? Explore her story as you join this ride where dreams can come true..... or not.


This is SWITCH.

The short man holding Nika's hand turned to look behind him and with him so did the others. They all had a obedient look on their faces. This man who was still very firmly holding Nika's hand was about to say something when this God like human that appeared behind them said "let go of her hand". He had that same accent but not that thick, it was clear he has traveled around the globe enough. He sounded very refined and cultured. Honestly if anyone ever look at this guy they will wonder what is he doing with these goons. This man who was up until few minutes ago was aggressive and domineering suddenly let go of her hand. His expression was clear for Nika to know he is not happy about it but its like he cannot do anything about it. After he let go of Nika's hand he turned around and spoke in a tone which has now become very  soft and polite. He said "Esta Chica es loca Jefe. Ella estaba golpeando en el Rover Range, como ella quiere abollarse"(1). After he said that they all started laughing and this god like human looked at NIka and said "
entonces, le tomaste la mano?(2). And the shorty said "Si". 
This God like creature who Nika was completely starstruck with let out a smile and his men laughed louder. He turned to look at Nika whose face was red with anger by now and said " I am Sorry, we will remove our car from here". Nika just stared at him like a idiot, still not recovered from being starstruck, even though she was burning with anger. She didnt even realised her face was red like red pepper. This God like human turned to his men and said " ella es de hecho Loca"(3).  Their laugh suddenly sounded louder than before to Nika's ears. And she snapped back to her senses. her brain registered every tiny detail in like matter of seconds. She was suddenly aware of everything that happened after this Mortal God stepped in. She felt humiliated realizing how these men are making fun of her speaking in their language.  She was furious.

With earphones plugged in their ears, the gun-wielder and the knight waltzed with the winged colossus.
Calliope had been singing for a while now so they came up with this countermeasure in order to stay awake. However, it had been difficult to evade its magical tears since the giant bird itself had joined the game, clawing at them with its razor-sharp toes. Whenever they landed a hit on it, the summoned creature would take refuge in the sky and before they knew it, the wounds were already healed. Its absurd vitality and ability to cure itself in a matter of minutes were unprecedented until now.
Consequently, all they managed to accomplish was unveil more obstacles.
"Hey, you two!"
Too absorbed in their arduous bird hunt, they failed to notice the presence of two new contenders. Irked at being ignored for a while now, Venus stomped her feet in frustration, unaware that the electric devices in their ears were to blame.
"Ugh! These idiots!"
Zeke, on the other hand, was astonished after witnessing the stupendous sight. Unlike Venus, though, he was able to catch sight of the earplugs after a few seconds of observing the two. Not wanting to alarm the summoned creature with their presence, he took out his golden chain, threw it at Hal and Allen, and lassoed them before hauling them backwards with brute force.
"Wha-?!"
"Gah!"
Startled, the Champions had a comical landing. With loud thuds, their bottoms flopped onto the floor of the staircase from where Venus and Zeke were hiding. They're flabbergasted upon being greeted by the Empress's peeved look. Then, out of nowhere, she sat before the two and pinched their cheeks so hard that they throbbed and swelled, making them cry out in pain.
"What were you doing, Eli?!" Hal exclaimed, palming his cheek like a harassed damsel.
"If I had known a mere squeeze would make you this flustered, I should've done it a thousand times to finish you off. Anyway, did it hurt enough to keep you awake?" Venus replied in an apathetic tone, much to his and Allen's flummox.
"Wait, are you... Did Eli let you?" he trailed off, ebony brows furrowing in suspicion, to which she only rolled her eyes.
"She let me, alright? She needed me to do something. That's why I'm asking if it hurts," Venus retorted.
Realizing the gravity of her voice, they reluctantly believed her words. Allen took a second before answering, "My cheek's still pounding, but I don't think it hurts enough to stay awake."
Venus mulled over at this, contemplating her next course of actions. She then glanced at the young heir and found him giving her a firm nod, a confirmation she needed to proceed with Eli's plan.
"Listen up, Angelica thought of something... That summoned creature is called Calliope. I'm sure you noticed that the bird's feathers kept on changing colours. Once it changed to its seventh shade, we're doomed. It'll reach its most powerful peak, enough to turn us all into statues. Have you taken track of it?" she explained, surprising everyone.
"First was pearl, then bronze, emerald and diamond? It's halfway there," Hal answered.
"There isn't much time. Angelica wasn't able to come up with any particular weaknesses so far, but she planned to have a re-enactment of the battle scene with Calliope instead. If you're able to repeat the scenario where it was defeated, you can bring it down. In other words, just do the same things the characters did in the story," she continued.
They're quite stunned at how clever the idea was. Having an example to follow was better than futile and aimless thrashings.
"You already know what to do, right?" Venus questioned Zeke who just silently gulped before nodding.
With that, she commanded the darkness to momentarily devour everyone, mystifying them in the process. A plain looking glass then materialized behind her before shattering into large pieces. The crack formed veering lines on the plane, eventually dropping a knife-like glass fragment on the ground. As she picked it up, the barren space vanished.
Astounded, Zeke remained unmoving until Venus offered the glass shard to him. Eyeing the sharp object intently, he extended his trembling arm forward before fisting it. Its cold surface electrified his body while its silvery edge daunted him. Even then, he just tightly gripped it with both hands, silently accepting the challenge. Then, in a swift motion, he slashed its serrated peak through his arm, causing blood to ooze out.
Venus was impressed, Hal was speechless, and Allen felt like his soul just left his body.
"The Chairman's going to kill me...!" the red head internally panicked.
Then again, he hadn't noticed Zeke until now. Hal and Eli didn't know about him as well, so he couldn't really blame anyone. If anything, it's his failure for not paying much attention. Now, he regretted he didn't lock him up in the library earlier.
"Are you sure about this?" Hal inquired Venus with a concerned look.
"It's Angelica's idea. Don't you believe her?" she replied, voice reassuring, much to his flummox.
"Wait! I don't think this is a good idea, after all. Mr. Zeke shouldn't be here!" Allen suddenly blurted out, finally losing his cool.
Everyone was bemused at seeing the collected Student Council President stripped off of his usual placidity. He sweatdropped at the tension in the air, but didn't back down in talking them out of the plan.
"Seriously, we shouldn't involve-"
"Enough already! Stop underestimating me, Allen. I'm aware that my father told you something. Everybody had always been like that. They're all belittling me only because I'm the second son! But I already managed to get this far with my own power, so just let me be!" Zeke bolted out, completely exhausted of their overprotectiveness.
The others were confounded at his sudden outburst. Like a once dormant volcano erupting, he had the look of someone who'd been holding back for quite a long time now. Then, with unwavering volition evident in his eyes, he pleaded, "Please. I promise to take responsibility."
Allen was taken aback.
For the whole day, the young heir did nothing but drag him around. It's his first time imploring him with profound sincerity and unclouded intent. Seeing him like this, he couldn't help but just heave an exasperated sigh of defeat, mentally preparing himself for his meeting with the Chairman later.
"I'm really feeling out of place right now, and this looked serious and all. However, I think there's a much more pressing matter to deal with," Hal chimed in, pointing his thumb at the neglected issue outside with an impassive look.
After sparing one last glance at Allen, Zeke braced himself and rushed outside, the golden chain in hand. Venus took a final glimpse at the young heir and chuckled with amusement before returning Eli's body to her. Hal and Allen turned to the ash-haired girl and noticed her change in demeanour, concluding that the Empress had already gone back.
Then, with a gasp, Eli found herself regaining control again.
"Now that's settled, shall we move on to the next part?" she asked the two, facing them while beaming.
"Y-Yeah, let's do it," Hal voiced out with a wobbly smile, still not used to them switching back and forth.
"I'm sorry if that caught you off guard. Venus forgot to tell you that in order to fight sleep, you have to feel immense pain. I thought pinching you was good enough. Oh, and the earphones weren't a bad idea as well, but you couldn't really hear one another with them. Also, I had Venus summon her glass shards since I doubt the President would let us borrow his sword..." she trailed off timidly.
Hal and Allen only blinked at her, dumbfounded. They wondered how come she's able to realize all these things in just a short span of time and how she was able to guess even the knight's reaction.
"Anyway, I ask that you wound yourself as well and back Ezekiel up. Prepare an opening for him to use that chain and capture Calliope with it."
It took a moment before something registered in their heads. Then, with a deadpan look, the two boys shared the same thought.
"So, that prideful Empress left that 'asking' part to her vessel, huh?"
Zeke, on the other hand, was currently awestruck.
Watching the summoned creature dance with the wind, prismatic shades of diamond pencilling the sky with white strips of light, the young heir was entirely captivated – fluttering wings that portray indulgence in one's liberty and independence, graceful flight that depicts the pursuit of happiness, and a streamline aerial pattern that conveys a much-awaited breakthrough. He then suddenly swelled at the feeling of yearning as the sight overwhelmed him.
Never had he imagined he could relate to something so faultlessly.
When the mammoth beast noticed the enthralled boy, it lunged its body to his direction in an incredible speed. The sound of frantic footsteps snapped Zeke out of daze, causing him to refocus his vision and find the summoned creature charging towards him. He immediately ducked as its clawed feet neared him. At the same time, Hal and Allen surged forward, armed with their weapons. Hal started a series of gunshots while Allen unsheathed his sword and made a sequence of powerful thrusts.
"How annoying. Isn't this thing against the law?" Hal managed to quip while dodging to veer from Adarna's razor-edged toes.
"What're you saying?" Allen asked, amused that he could still jest around.
"Isn't it brokenly overpowered? It has flight, earth magic, healing power, and a sleep-inducing voice worthy of a Grammy award! It's like a last boss!" he remarked exasperatedly, earning a snort from the red head.
"You're exaggerating. Don't we also have one, though? A last boss, I mean," the knight commented, slightly nudging his head at the direction of the staircase.
"I'd rather call her a trump card, General. She isn't exactly allowed to fight," his master retorted with a knowing grin.
The Champions continued dueling with the summoned creature while Zeke returned to being starstruck. Then with his mouth agape, he just confirmed that these gentlemen are indeed part of the Four Heroes of Society.

"Where a bookworm's love for reading, fused with a little touch of magic, gives birth to a half-heroine and half-villainess protagonist...."

Grey hair, thick glasses and a gloomy appearance overall - though an outstanding student, everyone steers clear of Angelica "Eli" Claes. Unable to make friends due to her nerdy mien, Eli often drowns herself in the world of fiction, but then, with the appearance of the ever popular Student Council at her precious oasis, trouble leads to another.
 
The most befuddling thing is when she gained the memories of the antagonist in a fantasy novel she'd been reading - a villainous empress who fell on her own blade, Venus. Ever since, she found herself causing troubles to the esteemed Student Council instead -

The perfect Student Council President who's all smiles and sparkles, the charming and blithesome Vice President, the gallant Public Information Officer known for being a social butterfly, and a certain classmate of hers sought by every Sports Club at school yet chose to work as a library assistant instead? 

Little did the bookworm know that these people aren't really who they appear to be.
