Welcome to Harem Protag Quest. You are John Galt, the sentient protagonist of a harem show. Aside from having to gather and keep your harem, you will have to deal with various other obstacles at the Cassandra College of Witches. >Mechanics: http://pastebin.com/MuXRzApY>Character sheet: http://pastebin.com/TdBKC27p >Magic system: http://pastebin.com/jKt3dEkR>Previous threads: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Harem%20Protag%20Quest>Twitter: @HaremProtaGuide>Current Stats:>Protag Points: 266>Mana 20/20>Harem Status 4/6 It’s a great day outside, the sun is shining, you almost died this morning and only one of your roommates wants to kill you. Overall you’ll call it a wash. Looking around your new residence, you find the girls have all dispersed again, leaving you all by yourself. You have quite a bit that you could be doing. For one, you’re still pretty much shit at any magic that isn’t enchanting and you don’t really know any great offensive enchantments at the moment either. Secondly, while you do have most of your current harem filled in, you have one slot left and three or four possible women for it, if you consider one of the elder things from beyond a woman. Finally, you could go around campus and stir up trouble; you’re probably up for some random throw down with some NPC’s or finding a few new locations. >Study some magic. (Specify what.)>Try and chat up one of your not quite harem members. (Which one?)>Go wander.>Other.
>Go wander
>>31246680>Study some magic. (Physical)MUSCLE.WIZARD.
>>31246680let's study some enchantment. charm speels specifically
>Try and chat up one of your not quite harem members. (Akeno)
>>31246680>>Try and chat up one of your not quite harem members.crazy PT with the swordpossibly doubling this for some training
>>31246680>Go wanderAdventure awaits
>>31246779i can go for this. find her, and ask to spar. quite simply cause we're idiotsand muscle wizard.
>>31246680>Study some magic. (Specify what.)Mysticism. Try not to explode the ball next calss period.
>>31246779This please, combines adventure and muscle wizard choices into one.
>>31246680Seconding>>31246779
>>31246779My vote as well. Multitasking while multiclassing!
>>31246680Not to mince words, but don't we have 2 harem slots left to fill?
Looks like you're heading off towards campus in search of a teacher. Give me 1d10 please.>>31246878Technically, but one is not permanent.
Rolled 9>>31246919Ok
Rolled 8>>31246919Let's get lost!
>>31246919dice+1d10
Rolled 2>>31246919may the gods be with us
Rolled 4>>31246946hopefully i get it right this time
>>31246964maybe I shouldn't roll tonight...
Rolled 9>>31246985Well, you got the gods to be with us. It's just they don't like us very much.
>>31246985As long as you understand anon.
>>31246934Looks like you're doing ok tonight.
>>31247022fuck yeah we're doing ok. we've got one of the best quests on /tg/ to play
Rolled 2>>31246919Can I get a technomancer up in here?
One of? Try the best. At least its my favorite.
>>31247106eh, for me it's a toss up between this and broken cyborg.granted, they're vastly different, and therefore difficult to actually compare
Is there a method to increasing maximum mana? Can't seem to find anything in the mechanics
>>31247163I wager it rises if we use our magic more. That or somebody does whatever the hell PT teach did after the extra credit
>>31247145>>31247106Shadow quest will always have a special place in my heart, but this is definitely rising in my priority list of quests to follow.
>>31247185Judging from the costs of spells, it seems like building this up should be one of our protagonists priorities
>>31247300Well, as far as we know at this point, Mana is built up by events. whether that's true throughout the entire game or not is up to Guide, since he's still building mechanics.
>>31246680Shaking your head even as do, you decide to try and hunt down your Physical Training teacher. She may be a crazy psycho, but at least one that seems to like you. Besides, even if you don’t get very far with her, you can probably at least get a few training tips from her. Heading back towards the campus, you encounter no real trouble, except for being slightly tired due to your morning and subsequent journeys around. You do however spot a few fights going on, nobody whom you recognize and nothing more than a fireball or two, so nothing to worry about. This does make you wonder though, what they could possibly be fighting about on the second day of school. As you head towards the gym, the only place you could think to find her, you feel a presence above you. Instinctively you dodge to the side, barely managing to avoid getting hit by whomever it is that is attacking you. Slamming up against the nearby wall, you find yourself with a blade across your neck and a smile in your face.“Miss me?” she asks.>Like a toothache.>I was just walking around>Your face always brightens up my day.>Other
>>31247410"Haven't quite hit my masochism quota for today."
>>31247410>Other"Not by much, it seems."
>>31247410>Like a toothache.>otherMake it clear we're not weak-willed, but also so that it's clear we're fucking with her. anything else won't get through to her, and I'm pretty certain she'd puke at the 'brightening my day' thing.
>>31247410>Your face brightens my day and fills my chest with the feeling of broken ribs for some reason. Good to see you professor?
>>31247410>Like a toothache.she definitely likes the snark
>>31247410>Your face always brightens up my day."Well what can I say, I must be a glutton for punishment."
>>31247410>>I was just walking aroundLet's go with the neutral option.
>>31247410>Like a toothache.
>>31247464ooh, I like that. changing to this from from >>31247470
>>31247470eh, the brightens my day could work, if it's with the proper amount of squinting and head shaking.make it clearly sarcastic
>>31247410>Like a toothache.Maximum snark
>>31247464oh, that's great snark. i'll change my vote from >>31247491
>>31247410>"I feel like if you don't kill me first the rest of the school probably will. Mind helping me with that?"
>>31247410"Like a toothache. I see you missed me as well. Barely"
>>31247563That's the best of both worlds. Going with this.
>>31247563yeah, i'm going with this
>>31247563My vote as well.
>>31247563I like this one as well
Alright, seems like you enjoy your tête-à-tête with your teacher. Writing.
>>31247563Best so far
>>31247675dammit guide, you make me google so many fucking things.heh. titty ah titty.
>>31247675Guide, How much of Canon Karasuba are you putting in the personality? because if she's just a simple transplant of universes, then I think we're going to have a problem with her bloodlust. Plus, her having a big-ass family of sisters would be hilarious, and her trying to kill them all would put a damper on that idea.
>>31247768Dunno, not completely. But I do find the idea of having all of the Sekirei follow you around at some point quite funny.
>>31247841>But I do find the idea of having all of the Sekirei follow you around at some point quite funny
>>31247841FANTASTIC. Superpower Sister Harem is GO!
>>31247897spiral power bitches
>>31247956Anti-Spiral waifu when?
>>31247994Don't we already have ??? ?
>>31248022>catfights between Slenderwaifu and Anti-Spiral waifuActually, this might not be such a good idea anymore...
>>31248079that's... like... an awful idea.
>>31247410We still need more harem slots Because Slender wifu needs a place
For angel waifu I submit:Rei Ayanami. Mysticism expert, deadpan, excellent bodyguard instinct once activated.
>>31248163>blue hairoh god no
>>31248173you mean OH GOD YES!!
>>31248163>blue hairIT NEVER ENDS
>>31248173I think you misspelled yes.
>>31247841Just so you know Guide I'm fairly certain that for most people here we consider this either the best or almost the best quest thread.
>>31248173>>31248163>>31248190>>31248197>>31248200
>>31248223the fact that you have that on hand scares me. and excites me.
>>31248190NAY BLAGGARDS, WE'VE ENOUGH BLUE HERE
>>31248249Personally I am more excited than scared.
>>31248197>>31248173To be fair, most of the other blunettes are copying her.
>>31248223I'd be ok with slutty angel, but pic related is still better
>>31247410“Like a toothache,” you say back to her, not backing down despite the very close shave you are currently getting, “But I see you missed me, barely.”That gets you a cackle from the teacher, who finally backs down and pulls her sword from your neck. “You’ve got a pair; I’ll give you that kid,” she says as she sheathes her sword, “But don’t give me any shit about not looking for me, I saw you headed here. What do you want?”Well, you can’t just come out and say that you came over here to hit on her to gain some magical points that let you bend space-time to your will, so you decide to go with your other goal, learning how to not get your ass beaten by the rest of the student body. “Actually I was wondering if you had some time to train me or maybe even just give me some tips to fighting magic users without magic,” you say to her, “Seeing as how I’m not actually very good at anything besides enchanting.” This draws another chuckle from the teacher, “That’s an understatement kid, I saw your testing scores, you may be some kind of Enchanting genius but you couldn’t enchant, summon or mystic your way out of a wet paper bag.” She starts walking, so you follow her, towards a building a little bit away from the main gym. “Honestly, you’re probably doing the right thing, coming to me,” she says, actually acting like a teacher for once, “If you could get a little skill under your belt, with whatever enchantments you’ll likely to be making, you should be able to survive most run of the mill encounters around here.” She pauses at the door, “But to get that skill you’re going to need to work hard, maybe really hard. Do you think you’re up for that?” It appears she’s asking you a serious question, not pulling your chain this time. Are you serious about putting in enough time to get good at whatever martial things she might throw at you?>Yes>Uh, let me think about this.>No>Other
>>31248249Scale of 1 to OHFUCKNO!, how worried should I be?
>>31248295>>Yes
>>31248284I like her better personally, but they're both good. Also, pic related.
>>31248295>YesGotta be done.
>>31248295>Yes
>>31248284>>31248327I hope we can at least summon oneAccidentally or otherwise
>>31248295>Yesalso>you couldn’t enchant, summon or mystic your way out of a wet paper bag.I think you meant cast not enchant
>>31248295did you mean cast mystic or summon?
>>31248295>Magic swordsmanI cannot yes hard enough. As long as she's not going to interfere with our other classes, because we need to boost our terrible scores.
>>31248348Why do you think I have all these pictures. >>31248354Goddamnit.
>>31248295yes. didn't expect it to come any other way.
>>31248295>Yes.Near death experiences are the best way to get stronger after all.
>>31248295Yes, ... As long as its you I think I can do it. In this way you can flatter her a little while peaking her interest in you.
>>31248387>inb4 we find out our protagonist is part saiyan
>>31248365
>>31248295>YesWe will master the marital arts.And maybe some martial ones, too.
>>31248295"No, but that's no excuse not to do it."
>>31248360bro, we're gonna enchant the fuck out of our equipment.or get a bunch of magical tattoos, and fist mage everything
>>31248401Saiyans don't do NEAR death experiences
Rolled 8, 10, 6 = 24>>31248295>Yes"Well I didn't come to you for the easy way, I don't want you to go easy on me."
>>31248408;)
Rolled 3, 5, 8 = 16>>31246680WAIT!!!I thought the elsder thing from beyond in our dreams was Tatsuko
>>31248432I think that if she went medium-rare on us, we'd die outright.
>>31248432woops left the dice on heh
Better yet, specifically saw I came to you because it was hard!
>>31248408
>>31248295>Yes"Dead if I don't, hopefully not if I do."
>>31248449no, it was the thing from the crystal ball. it's just that the dream and reality merged when kaname put her finger to our mouth.
>>31248449No man that is our Elder god Wifu!
Looks like you guys really want to sword. Writing.
>>31248488Maybe it's the elder god of waifu-ness?Which one was the goat again? Shub-niggurath?
Learning how to fisticuffs is great and all, but i feel like we should learn some CC spells at some point. we may be able to cast fist but we can't forget the wizarding basics after all.
>>31248507"Why not? I enchant my own magic hammer, and then I beat somebody to death with it. what could be better?"
>>31248568Hearing the lamentations of their women
>>31248562i believe that cc may actually fall into ward territory. as long as we have time beforehand to set it up.
>>31248507The character description for the PT teacher says "a little older than most of the characters"I'm assuming this makes her unusually young for being a professor.
>>31248602That makes her ancient in anime years.
>>31248602Probably late twenties, early thirties is what I seem to recall karasuba's age being.
>>31248638People can get that old without dying?
>>31248295Wait a minute, guys. She knows our testing scores off-hand. We caught her attention a lot more than we thought with our little stunt. We're making good time, I think.
>>31248638That's still delicious christmas cake.
>>31248650When your a superpowered alien with a hard on for brutally killing people? Yes.
>>31248666>multiple broken ribs>dislocated backbone>good timei kinda feel sorry for what protagonist-kun is letting himself in for
>>31248701You know how it is, mang. Fightexuals do what they gotta.
>>31248701It's okay, he won't die even if he's killed.
>>31248767well yeah, we're the protag, if we died there wouldn't be a show.except dragon ball. dragon ball breaks that rule a lot.
>>31248790dragonball dodges this by basically turning death into a training montage...which implies if protag dies he'll run into ?????
>>31248638The English teacher was early thirties. And, I assumed PT teacher was younger than the English teacher.
>>31248790Actually, so long we're within some distance of the school, we can't die. I can't remember if it was 3 miles, 300 meters, or some other arbitrary distance with a 3 in it.
>>31248881We can just wish for the sweet release of death.
>>31248903So we can bask in ???'s gentle arms and tentacles?
>>31248948I was thinking more to escape the horrible suffering PT teacher is going to inflict, but that too
>>31248903Why would we wish for that, when we can make the ultimate wish instead?
>>31249015This guy gets it
>>31249015Oh god, our resident mad scientist girl is going to start recklessly mass cloning herself at some point isn't she?
>>31249059insta-orgy in a bottle. There's our money-maker right there. men will pay millions for it.
>>31249140We'll need to practice summoning... a lot of summoning.
>>31249195>dude nearly drowns in girls this morning>starts practicing summoning so he can make waifus on demandwhy must we play god?
>>31248295You think about how little skill you have in anything besides enchanting, something which currently isn’t very useful for direct combat since most enchantments simply enhance previously existing combat ability instead of supply it. You also think about the group of girls you’re gathering, what they’re likely going to either drag you into or get drug into in turn. Despite you knowing this is just a show, you can’t help but want to be more than a complete deadweight in combat. So you nod to the teacher, “Yes ma’am,” you say. This brings you another smile, this one less manic and more sincere than most of the ones you’ve seen before. “Then welcome,” she says, opening the door. Inside is a traditional dojo, well-kept and clean but bare. Looking around, you get the feeling that it isn’t used very much anymore, if at all. Your teacher leads you towards the center where she turns and looks at you. “You are the only person who’s ever had the guts to ask me to train them,” she says, looking around the dojo, “Probably the only one dumb enough to do it.” She takes her cloak off and throws it again, this time against a wall, before summoning another sword and tossing it to you. “This time I’m going to test your actual skill instead of your luck, so get ready,” she says.>I need 2d100 best of three.
Rolled 92, 68 = 160>>31249235Let's see how close to death we get
>>31249235Sorry for the delay, some family stuff and trying to look up swords in the middle of a thread, not good.
Rolled 99, 77 = 176>>31249235HAHAH!I'M PLAYING THE GAMBLE
Rolled 90, 95 = 185>>31249235This will hurt us. A lot.
Rolled 27, 41 = 68>>31249235TOOOOOOOHHHH
Rolled 92, 50 = 142>>31249235
Rolled 89, 96 = 185>>31249235
Rolled 25, 39 = 64>>31249235
>>31249235
>>31249255>>31249260>>31249264So, uh, how many virgins did you guys sacrifice hmm? Or did you pray directly to Odin?
>>31249255>>31249260>>31249264Jesus christ.We myrmidons now.
>>31249255>>31249260>>31249264Holy shit the dice gods must love us.
>>31249255>>31249260>>31249264Well shit.
Rolled 17, 56 = 73>>31249274I think you mean
Rolled 22, 61 = 83>>31249235oh god why did we do this.
>>31249264
>>31249264That works well
>>31249255Ha.>>31249260Ha ha.>>31249264AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HA ha...But seriously that's a ridiculous set of 2d100's.
>>31249255>>31249260>>31249264
>>31249303It's already ogre.And apparently, being self-deprecating powers our rolls up. Who knew?
>>31249264>>31249260>>31249255HOLY SHIT
>>31249255>>31249260>>31249264"instead of luck"yeah. sure.
>>31249303>Or did you pray directly to Odin?Tyr, actually.I may have to try that again.
So, just to let you guys know those were "Starting aptitude" and "Learning ability."So, yeah, let me get my head on straight again and we'll get at it.
>>31249303well, I sacrificed at least two on this end.who else did?
I'm pretty sure this is the point where we get mad protag points from this event. and I am completely okay with that.>>31249393We weapons god now.
>>31249393I regret for not suggesting to fight her bare handedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKPQMU9lU3Q
>>31249393Oh my fucking god. I love it. We'll be masters in a week.
>>31249393Apparently we come form an old knight family Truly we can claim Excalibur as our sword now. Take that Headmistress!
>>31249431God damn, you're right>>31249393No wonder we managed to hit her twice.also, question that came up in the thread last night after you left: are there any non-humans at this school?
>>31249393We're gonna be fucking swole by the end of this semester.
We are Battle Enchanter. We make our own Legendary Gear and then go wreck stuff.
>>31249483Muscles aren't what matters. It's training that matters. granted, muscles are a big plus.
>>31249346Gaddamnit. How did you know I prayed to The Eternal Blorp?Not really.
>>31249489that's how i pathfinder magus.>>31249505Personally, I prayed to our slender waifu.
>>31249264whoah
I was reading sekirei while I waited...
>>31249606someone's a little late to the party.
>>31249459
>>31249489>Wait, that sword looks so familiar..>Huh? Oh. It's Excalibur.>But Excalibur doesn't shoot fire.>I Improved the design.
>>31249635so, basically we're a magical combat engineer?
>>31249303Actually, all I did was curse out the RNG while failing a captcha then finally getting the post off. Sorry to disappoint.
>>31249660More like Adamantium Man.
>>31249635Are we going to strap a live viper to?
>>31249677Can we enchant a cardboard box to be the perfect hiding place?
>>31249660That implies we're not going to get rolls like this on our magical skills. You know it's going to happen. We're going to be the Archmage up in this bitch.
>>31249619too many quests man....just too manycaptha: necessary hipylab.....I don't know about that captha
>>31249635>some gives us an artefact>look away for five god damn seconds>when they look back the Artefact is now covered in all sorts of Tacticool enchantments>>31249692>implying we won't make Excalicobra
Rolled 50, 69 = 119>>31249701
>>31249701>implying The Box isn't perfect already
>>31249692this is the only thing I can think of now.
>>31249753>not making the box tank
>>31249768>Not making the box tank fly
Let's not forget that we would have to get good at summoning before we can one man armory in battle. However, with just ench/phys expertise, improvised enchanted weaponry is a very real possibility.We are the second coming of Jackie Chan.
>>31249776>not making the flying box tank out of magic wands
>>31249768you rang?
>>31249786>Not making flying box tank wand clothing
>>31249781Galt don't want no trabble...
>>31249701Hell. With our skill we can make that cardboard box it's own different pocket dimension and have a kick ass room.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K--YiJma6xI
I'm kind of worried guys, I don't want us to turn into some kind of superman. We've been throwing out new skills pretty fast...
>>31249808and that's how we'll solve the rooming issue.just kidding, we'll be sleeping with tatsuko
Rolled 80, 77 = 157>>31249808>Hell. With our skill we can make that cardboard box it's own different pocket dimension and have a kick ass room.I suggested enchanting a box for a room in the last thread
>>31249826>implying she doesn't find our happy place in the box and force herself into it
>>31249843>Implying we don't make an entire mansion in our Box dimension
>>31249843oh how lewd...
>>31249826It might be more accurate to say Tatsuko will be sleeping on us.
>>31249821Oh, don't worry. We're going to be cripplingly overspecialized, but get through fights on asspulls, ingenuity, and friendship.
>Everyone is talking about how awesome the MC is going to be now.You guys realize John is still going to get his ass kicked. It doesn't matter how well he rolled.
>>31249887dude, we're having fun and being silly. Of course we know he's going to get his ass kicked. Live a little. Let the IMAGINATION flow through you.
>>31249235As you take a stance similar to hers, you feel…something. You can’t explain it, not really. But in this place, this time, you’re not reacting like you did in the gym, not swinging blindly. There is real knowledge in your head; your muscles remember holding a sword just like this many times, in many places. It’s not all correct, you muscles don’t actually have the training, the tens or hundreds of thousands of repetitive motions that any good swordsman has drilled into him, but they think they should and your physical condition is decent enough that you can fake it for a little. The teacher starts of slow, motions even a novice could follow. You watch, moving, dodging and only using your sword when you have to. This gets her attention, so she begins to pick up speed, causing you to actually pay attention now. It’s not hard, per-say, but despite what you think you know and what your mind tells you it can do, your body is a hair slow, dragging in places where you’re sure you should’ve gotten a clean hit or block. But she doesn’t stop and soon you’re breathing hard as she presses you around the dojo, her sword seeking every last hole in your defense, which seems to be damn good because even being slow you aren’t getting hit to badly. But you aren’t getting very many attacks in yourself, which is kind of the point of being a swordsman. However, it doesn’t last much longer as eventually you’re simply too tired to effectively fight anymore. Taking a knee, you breathe heavily, watching sweat drip off of you in what feels like a wave. But your teacher looks at you, something in her eyes that questions why the hell you could do what you just did.
>>31249887Until the clincher anon, we'll get our asses handed to us until the clincher.And then we'll pull out our True Potential.
>>31249887yes. but this is funnier.The GM's posts are canon. the rest of the thread is non-stop Omake
>>31249908“So either you’re one hell of a good faker,” she says, “Or you somehow managed to get all the knowledge of a veteran swordsman without an ounce of the muscle definition. Which is it?”Now that you’ve had a chance to think, you’re pretty sure you just had bleed-over from one or more of your past lives. That shouldn’t happen, supposedly can’t but yet it did. You can’t really tell her that anyway, trying to explain sentience to a non is an exercise in futility. But you do need to say something.>Don’t know.>Give her your theory.
>>31249887we could have rolled 100's and he'd still be a bloody heap on the ground after the teacher is through with him. And I wouldn't have it any other way
>>31249929>OtherGoddamn thing fucking with my post.
>>31249929>>Give her your theory.Enchantment?
>>31249929"Well, I got a shit ton of Tatsuko's mana this morning so... maybe I absorbed it?"
Rolled 68, 71 = 139>>31249929OtherI just have a good teacher *wink at her* .. I guess it is time for that dinner I promised you.
>>31249929>Don’t know.
>>31249929>OtherMaybe you just didn't want to mess up the goods.
>>31249929"I don't know... I just... my mind knew what to do, but my body wasn't listening. that one hit, where I was going for your side after that feint, I felt that should have connected, but I wasn't going as fast as I meant to. I can't explain it."
>>31249929>>Give her your theory."Well, actually, this whole world is essentially a simulation for the entertainment of beings far beyond our understanding--and I happen to be the main character, and as such I'm able to subtly manipulate the fabric of reality beyond the abilities of any magic we could ever dream of.""Oh, and also I took some kendo lessons when I was a kid."
>>31249929>Give her your theory.Reincarnation? Ancestral memory? Tapping into the collective unconscious?
>>31249929>Other"Past lives? I dunno, this is hardly the only weird bullshit I've pulled off just in the past 24 hours".
>>31249929>Give her your theory.We have a theory?I'm a little disappointed we didn't get our ass kicked in.
>>31249929"I don't know... it just felt natural."nice save on the reasoning for ir, by the way.
>>31249929"When I picking up this sword it was like I remembered holding one before many, many times. I've never held one before today though."Alternatively"Maybe I knew what I was doing in a past life?"
>>31249996Forgot the last part."Maybe it has something to do with all the bullshit enchanting ability I've been pulling out of my ass lately."
>>31249929>>Give her your theory.Truth has been serving us pretty well so far.
>>31249929>Give her your theory.
>>31248327>>31248365Gotta summon Aht.Mud form only. Final destination.
>>31249960This is probably the best one.Then immediately follow it with >>31249979
>>31250021well, she did go EXTREMELY easy on us, since now she's actually trying to train us.
>>31249960>>31250053Taksuko isn't a swordfighter, though. She's a caster.
>>31250053I agree we should do this.
>>31250066yeah, she only used a defensive cast at PT
>>31250066she blocked teach bare handed.WHILE ASLEEP.
>>31250030>>31249996I like it. It tells her the truth without revealing any critical information.
>>31249929"I don't know. Sometimes, the knowledge is just there, mine but not my own. I'm not sure where it comes from, but it has kept me alive on several occasions. Until it shows signs of malice, I might be happier not knowing. Saner, if nothing else."
>>31249929>>31250016This. This is beautiful.
>>31250053this
>>31250088>>31250090I stand corrected. You're right, I'm wrong, I owe you a present.Throw in something about Bullshit enchanting skills and we'll tie it all into a pretty bow.
Alright, calling it here. Sorry for the crappy choices, that was my bad. But it looks like spinning some version of "past lives," and "enchanted bullshit" wins.
>>31249979We should cook her that dinner by the way.
>>31250170You need to include the dinner thing
>>31249996I thought we did hit her. I remember him mentioning the feeling of contact.
>>31249979Fuck, I'm probably misremembering this, too, but I thought her gift was the mana, instead of dinner.
>>31250194fuck yes! That +50 cooking bonus man!
>>31250194I agree with this. just toss in a subtle "so, you mentioned dinner earlier." between gasps for breath.
>>31250201yeah, but not during that made-up instance. I made it up to illustrate my point.
>>31250219it was, but this morning or whenever she said " you will have to buy me dinner first"
>>31250219yeah, she gave us mana.this morning when we were looking up her skirt she said to buy her dinner first.
>>31250219When she collected everyone for the headmaster, she said he should give her dinner before looking at her panties.
>>31250194>>31250201>>31250219>>31250221>>31250226Just stating for the record, that was an offhand comment made by her as a joke when you almost looked up her skirt, you made no official plans of that nature. You can still make a dinner comment, but it will have to be worded differently.
>>31250238oh, i see, i thought you meant yesterday.I was confused.
>>31250263>You can still make a dinner comment, but it will have to be worded differently.that is the point it was and offhand comment ,but she did make it so she will act a little abashed.
>>31250263how about we offer to pay her in food.
>>31250263>>31250258>>31250249>>31250240Okay, so, I was right and wrong. 'So, you mentioned dinner earlier' probably works, then.Is it bad that I want Karasuba to go full Araara when we ask her to dinner? The humor potential is too great.
>>31250285>pointYou know because she wasn't actually expecting it.
>>31250263Eh, just offer to cook her dinner as compensation for the lessons. If she likes our cooking we can hand her an open dinner invitation for our place so long as she plays nice with our housemates.
>>31250309>go full Araarawho?
>>31250360ara ara. he forgot spacing.it's a saying.
>>31250355I agree with this.
>>31250360Christmas cake. It's a running gag that all the middle-aged MILFs in games and Anime have 'Ara Ara' as a verbal tic. 'Ara Ara, are you sure you want an old lady like me?' Things like that.
>>31250383>ara ara>not hora horashe does not strike me as the submissive type
>>31250402I dunno, man, Karasuba might just be one hell of a switch. That's what i'm getting from Guide's version of her, anyway. Canon Karasuba is a crazy woman.
>>31250402>not fufuHers is an evil laugh.
>>31250430yeah. she seemed to appreciate the fact that we're crazy enough to ask to train with us. she even softened up a little.
>>31250460exactly. That's why i'm imagining that it might me a possibility in this dynamic. Of course,>Rampant speculation'Cause she's not even probationary at this point.
>>31250430>Canon Karasuba is a crazy womanTrue. That she was. And if this one is/was like her, then Junko's warning was pretty well meaning concern
>>31250499I just realized that we haven't even talked to Junko since then come on we need that demon king attachment for conjuration
>>31249929“I-I don’t know,” you reply, “I swear the only time I’ve held a sword before was in the gym with you, but somehow it felt right. But...but then my body wasn't listening. Towards the end, where I was going for your side after that feint, that should have connected, but I wasn't going as fast as I thought I was, thought I could. I can't explain it." You shrug; finally managing to stand on a pair of rubbery legs as she finally dismisses your summoned sword. “Well, unfortunately it makes sense, what with you pulling things out of your ass like that regularly,” she says as she grabs her cape, before turning towards you. “This means two things, one, you’re actually a decent swordsman, probably not as good as me, but you might be close. But the second is that you’re in absolutely horrible physical strength for a fighter, so you’re going to need to spend more time on basic workouts and forms building muscle memory than anything complicated, at least until you get in better shape, you got that?” All you can do is nod, it’s not like you know any better yourself.>Congratulations, you’ve learned “Sword fighting”>Due to some leak over from your old lives, you actually have the skills of a high level swordsman, but your body lacks the form to use it correctly. So you start out as “Average” with an automatic upgrade to “Strong” one your physical strength moves up as well. As you both head towards the door, a thought crosses your mind as you check your watch, it’s a little early, only just turning five, and you had a late lunch, but if you wanted to you could probably ask her out for a light dinner. >Yeah.>No (Head back home)>Other.
>>31250543She also was the only one we have seen/know to use Mysticism. And would that help in communicating with Slender girl?
>>31250567>No (Head back home)Wait till were stronger. Then we fight her for it
>>31250567>>Yeah.Hareming intensifies.
>>31250567>No (Head back home)
>>31250567>>Yeah."Oh, one more thing... about that dinner?"Shit. Eating. Grin.
>>31250567So, while I was in that fleshpile earlier, you mentioned Dinner...
>>31250567Yeah, definitely. and ask if we've earned the right to know her name yet.
>>31250567>Yeah.
>>31250567yeah ask her to come to your place for dinner and make something magical
>>31250567>No (Head back home)I do not think the iron is quite yet hot for a relationship with Crazy Teacher. At this point, she doesn't have a huge amount of respect for us, and she might just take any romantic moves as "this was all just to get to me?"Patience is a virtue.
>>31250567>No (Head back home)>Other.Go do a little wondering. Let's see if someone back home takes the initiative to cook for us
>>31250616Holy shit I didn't think of this.
>>31250645that seems good
>>31250567>NoUnfortunately the mood isn't right.
>>31250659>>31250567>No (Head back home)Lets wait till we have a stronger hand to play
>>31250567Offer to make dinner for her at the HOUSE. However, to make a really good meal, we will have to go grocery shopping... Possibly with PT.
>>31250567Hey, Guide. Did you ever say that John would never get laid in this quest? Someone is accusing you of that in /qtg/, and I don't remember that happening.
>>31250543>>Yeah."Would you like to join me for some dinner? I'll cook a meal you soon won't forget."
>>31250567>Other.Hang around the campus.
>>31250616>>31250659I want to ask her and have her reply with something like. "You'll have to fight me for it."
>>31250687I believe the official line is "maybe, but way down the road, and it will fade to black".
>>31250567Make her a bet about the dinner. Bring it up, then say that when we can fight her to a tie, We're gonna hold her to her offer. Appeal to her fightsexual nature.
>>31250687Depends on what kind of harem series we're in. If it's open-ended, John's dying a virgin.
>>31250567This. >>31250616
>>31250567>No (Head back home)Maybe when we can put up a fight
>>31250687>listening to qtgGet the fuck out
>>31250729>>31250721I think she'd turn us down anyways if we asked, So, betting her on it sounds like the smarter move. We can joke about it being 'motivation'.
>>31250687>/qtg/Why are you even in shitposting general?
>>31250687>the /qtg/Man, I wish the anti-questfags would stop making those and starting shit there. Anyway, I suppose we haven't defined whether the MC's eternal virginity is going to be a running gag yet or not.
>>31250800>>31250763My first time going in there, and I'm quickly learning the error of my ways. When I hear somebody respond with 'I dropped the quest because the worldbuilding was open to player input' I realize I'm getting absolutely nothing from their existence.>Discussion GiockinCaptcha seems to agree with me on their level of discourse.
>>31250880Every time someone talks about a quest I'm following in /qtg/ that quest gets filled with shit posters. By talking about Harem Protag Quest you may have brought them with you.
>>31250567No, let's not.
>>31250964Shit. At least we're autosaging. Should I go delete my post, or is the damage done already?
>>31251013it's done already. Don't worry about it.
Surprised it's taking Guide this long to confirm a choice. Did something happen on his end?
>>31251136guide? guide! GUUUUIIIIIIIDE!?
>>31251136Its possible he said something about family earlier. He did run it yesterday so maybe he is burned out. Who knows. I am going to give him longer.
>>31251013It's too late. We'll see whether we get a bunch of sudden lolrandumb suggestions and a massive increase in player vitriol over the next fees threads. Hopefully we're wrong, but you should probably brace yourself for the storm.
>>31250645
>>31251186Alright, then. Everybody, Remember to fight the retardation. anything that does not make sense, rip the shit out of it. maybe they'll get bored and leave us alone when they can't fuck it up.I'm sorry to have brought this down on our heads.
>>31251158Guide is kill.
>>31251158continue?
>>31251235>rip the shit out of itYou must be new here. Arguing with shit posters is the worst possible thing you could do. The only way to fight them is to ignore them.
>>31251284Well I completely agree with you, but the point would be we're not trying to make the shitposter agree with you. You're trying to make the sane people not go along with them.
>>31251322if they're sane then they just wouldn't in general
>>31250567guide? did you died?
Ded Guide is Ded.
Apparently PT teacher can reach through dimensions and hurt the author with her hits.
He did say there was a family situation. I suggest we invite her for dinner as thanks for giving us free training.
Well, someone would probably archive this before we forget or the misarchiver shows up. Description ought to mention something about sword lesson and discovering more about past qenre's we failed to successfully protag in.
>>31251863And Done
>>31250567Guide? You ok buddy?
>>31250567>Yeah.sorry, massively late, but Guide is gone still so trying to get a vote in
>>31250567>No (Go walk around)Hope you're alright Guide
>>31252484on top of this, ask if she'd like you to make her dinner. ain't no bought food good enough for our waifus now that we are the master chef
>>31252533Oh man that's...comically forward of us. It could get a laugh or get us stabbed, probably both.
>>31252533No, we can't be a little bitch about this. At this point, we're still establishing our relationship. Right now, we're deepening the Teacher-Student dynamic, which already has big control connotations built into this. We're not going to be able to get the fightsexual teacher to be interested in us if we act like a little domestic housewife right off the bat. We've got to prove we've got enough brass ballsyness to stand up to her psycho nature and unseat the Teacher-Student relationship. Once we've set the pace for a more romantic relationship, then we can use the domesticity to woo her.
>>31250066>She's a casterNo, she's a BERSERKEEER
>>31252631Right. She casts RIGHTEOUS FURY followed by twice as many FIST OF DESTRUCTIONs as strictly necessary to pulp someone.
>>31252680
>>31252623This anon gets it. Take the time and do it right.
>>31252680What
>>31252623Wouldn't following up on the dinner offer that she made as a joke count as brass balls?
>>31250567Yeahhave a one-hit match, winner decides where to go
>>31252707At this juncture, no. It would count as brown nosing. There will,be more opportunities and with this one more so than with the others we need to play our cards right. Or drop about 100 Protag Points, which right now would eliminate her potential harem position in the process...
>>31252707Yeah, it would. Offering to cook that dinner is where the little-bitchitude comes into play. I personally think we don't have enough of a leg to stand on to even ask for the dinner yet, since there's not even the Teacher-Student relationship formed. I would say to wait a few threads before we try and woo Karasuba. Trying to get one of the many Forbidden Love relationship going automatically means that you can't half-ass anything. You need to be methodical and patient.
>>31252710That's actually a genius idea. She gets a fight, we get dinner, both parties (and a fair amount of the 'viewers' of the 'show') are happy
>harem owner>gifted cook>can only into enchantment>fakerAnd you people try to deny that we're going full Shirou
>>31252754>implying we're not going to master everythingWe're only 9 threads in. We're still just getting started on this wild ride.
>>31252710...you realize she ended the training session because we were literally to tired to stand right? No way she's going to fight us if it's going to be boring.
>>31252802And not only that, but she's nowhere going full out. The best way to ensure getting that yes to dinner is showing her a match. Preferably when the match ends up with both of us with the sword tips at each other's throats and ends in a draw
>>31250567don't ask her for dinner, but tell her we'll always be up for it if she decides she's not joking about it anymore. And for god's sake, ask her name
>>31252857Once again, the namefag gets it right. This is the way we woo a Fightsexual teacher- we prove that we are on her level, both in confidence and in skill level. Otherwise, her inherently dominant position will squash any attempted romance. Would you date any random student that throws themselves at you?
>Working out>FormsFuck that.Enchant gloves and armor on our joints that move according to our thoughts. We think about moving our arm, it moves. We could be tired and on our last legs, but still fight good because we're being dragged around by our own enchantments.
>>31252891because we aren't any random student, we're literally the only student who's ever asked her to train us. That said, fighting her for dinner is a stupid idea. I'd prefer just getting her name, and asking her to dinner the old fashioned way, asking her if she's got some kind of test to ask her out if she turns it down
>>31252944And if someone disenchants or nullifies them mid fight?
>>31252950Fighting her to take her out to dinner isn't the point, anon; that's simply a means to an end. It's about proving that we're more than the average student, a student that is worth enough to actually risk a career for and get romantically involved with. Being the first student to seek her help is a good start, but right now that's only getting us a deeper Student-Teacher relationship. that's good, because there needs to be a good rapport in place before we transform it into something that is risky for her. Because if she dates us on a whim and is caught, she's out of a job. We need to be a catch so good that we're worth ruining her life over.
>>31252950Just because we're the protagonist doesn't mean we don't have to act like the protagonist.
>>31252944>not working outGaaaay
>>31252944Over-reliance on weapon and armor is a sign of weakness anon. There's no harm on being able to pull our weight with our fist alone.
>>31252950Fighting her for dinner isn't a stupid idea. But it does seem like something on the route to make her a Permanent member, rather than Potential. Right now we should be working towards getting her name, and making her think about dating us. Conventional romancing isn't going to work on her the same way, and will be a lot later game than the other girls, but getting her name and training hard will boost her attraction score, as opposed to being a standard day for the others
>>31250567Otherask her what she does in her free timedinner's a bit too forward, I think. But I still want to get to know her better, and we're in no real shape to move yet
Know what? I bet he passed out on his keyboard. He ran this quest into the wee hours of the night yesterday, and he did have work today. He's probably out like a light right now.
>>31250567>Yeah.also ask >>31253152, it's something we should probably learn
>>31250567>Yeah.combined with >>31253152>ask her what she does in her free timeand now I sleep. Guide, if you come back tonight, good luck. If you don't and you read the archives, thank you for running
Can we give enchantment lessons to raise affection points?
>>31253258I bet we could, if they sought us out for it. We Shouldn't try and be proactive about being a teacher, though, since we're going to be stretched thin on our schedule as it is.
>>31253258I can see doing research sessions with kaname,
>>31253258I expect other girls to be about as specialized as we are
>>31253258We should figure out enchantment for ourself before we try to teach it.
>>31253318pretty sure they're not. like, not as idiot savant as us.I mean, Kaname's the only one that really into enchantment, and she's astounded by our talent.
Welp, looks like I passed right out while waiting for you guys to decide. That's probably what I get for only having about 4~ hours of sleep. Anyway, I'll try and start the next thread with your choice, it should be Sunday night but just keep an eye on twitter. Thanks for playing and voting everyone.
>>31254748Thanks for running m8
