Ah. Well, I think it would be better to say he's a "self-aware protagonist".

>>31549562

Guys, you gave this girl PTSD by accident. You can't act flippant about this at all, or she'll strangle us in the middle of class. Take it slow.

>>31549585
>Nope out of class, you don’t want to deal with this.

psycho lesbian can deal with her shit on her own

>>31549495
Perfect.

>>31549578
Guide said in OP that rules are out of date

>>31549495
I don't agree with opening with this, but it seems like it's going to win. As long as we wait for her to make the first move, then I guess we can do this.

>>31549594
Woah woah waoh, let's get one thing straight, she had PTSD before hand and we were involved with activating in only because she sleepwalked into our couch and kissed us before waking up.

You can't lay all of that (or all that much of that) on us.

>>31549649
Also, she tried to put a bullet in our brain the first time we met her.

She is seriously bad juju, not waifu material

Alright, looks like you're manning up and talking to her.

Writing.

Also will attempt to update the pastebins as we go, I know they're kind of out of date.

>>31549668
>>31549649

We will harness the crazy.

>>31549617
It's not rules, it's her current stats. that's probably out of date as well, but it's something that bears mentioning, since she's very close to (what used to be) Permanent status since last thread.

>>31549649

You've never worked with somebody who has mental issues like that? You know why calling somebody crazy is an insult to their reasoning? BECAUSE THEY DON'T FOLLOW LOGICAL REASONING. She's now associating us with reliving her trauma. We're not going to spook her the same way you don't spook a jittery crocodile. they might take your head off if you do.

>>31549598
that would be skipping
we're no a bad student
she's not seriously gonna attack us in the middle of class in front of a teacher

>>31549668
And all this was while she was trying to sexually assault Akeno.

>>31549687
She is a crazy yandere lesbian. If we harness that, it makes our lives measurably worse.

>>31549710
Agreed. But we should at least be polite. Just keep all the thoughts that wish she wasn't here in our head. Preferably away from the magic parts.

>>31549688
True, but given that we live with her I don't really see running away or constantly disengaging as options. Now, depending on how this class goes I might change my mind.

Suggestion for OP Background:

Descendant of King Arthur on our dad's side. Which is why we have the ancestral knowledge of swordsmanship as well as skill with the one area of Magic that can enhance our physical abilities.

The Absurd Magical Sheananigans come from our mother's side, whoever she is.

>>31549762
ARe we descended from arthur's incest baby?
We can also be descended from more historical/mythological figures if need be

>>31549750
I'm not saying we ignore her; far from it. I intend to waifu this bitch and cure her with the D, but the problem here is that you guys are charging ahead balls-first when she's a mentally unstable Yandere and has the trauma fresh in her mind. We should leave her for a day or two to let her calm down, and then start reworking her perception of us. Otherwise she's more likely to pull her guns on us to avoid her trauma again.

>>31549762
Morgana Le Fay, obviously

>>31549750

In fact given that there may be a connection between her and Hasshaku-waifu, running away or disengaging will only make our Eldritch Stalker push us together even more.

>>31549762
I'm generally in favor of "May or may not be decendant/reincarnation of ancient hero who sealed an ancient evil." The effect of that seal? The loss of all magic for all males whose magic was diverted to maintain the seal.

>>31549762
>>31549792

Descent has nothing at all with his skill at all. He's lived a life as a Swordsman, and that skill's bleeding through. maybe his character is, but that's not where he gets his swordsmanship from.

>>31549816
That would explain why males just suddenly gained the ability to use magic one day, somebody tried to break the seal and succeeded partially. And as male mages become more common and gain in strength the seal will weaken further...

>>31549816
The only way that would work is if this is a very clear 'history was lost' world, because having a history of Males using magic would contradict the pastebin that Males have never used magic in recorded history until recently. Maybe it is, but it's never been mentioned before, so I doubt it's the case.

>>31549855
Or just have it happen before recorded history.

>>31549855
It wouldn't be too unreasonable for the knowledge of an ancient evil's existance to be censored, since if it was commonly known, crazies would try and free/summon it

>>31549820

In universe explanation. It's pretty meta how we actually know our swordsmanship.

Swallowing back your mild fear about the girl, you decide that it’s best to deal with her here, in public, where she’s not as likely to kill you. Stepping forward into the classroom, you notice that Kaede glances your way as you enter. Nodding to the old lady of a teacher that you have, you gently approach and set your bag down next to Kaede’s on the table, forming a small but somewhat mutually built barrier between the two of you.

There’s an awkward pause for a few seconds, but you break the silence with something that’s unlikely to get your head bit off.

“Did you enjoy breakfast?” you ask her casually, your voice managing to somehow convey that you’re still aware of the fact that there are major issues between the two of you, but at least in public you’re trying to make a polite face.

“It was…good,” she says slowly, the venom you expected still there but an honest appreciation of your cooking talent making it through.

“Thanks,” you say politely, leaving it there as the teacher begins the class, nothing special but at least you can follow these basics with your current level of skill. The teacher, who seems like a slightly senile grandma type, then tells you to take five minutes between partners to clear up any questions you might have.

Everyone else immediately breaks off into chatting, but you can tell Kaede is not wanting much to do with you. You leave her alone, not wanting to disturb the quiet peace you have.

“How?” it’s one word, short, curt and to the point, but it is a branch, thin and gnarly as it may be, between the two of you.

How do you respond?

>Tell her the truth, including the weird dream.
>Partial truth, you have no clue.
>Just shrug.
>Other.

>>31549912
>Tell her the truth, including the weird dream.

>>31549912
Tell her the truth. Balls to the walls.

>>31549912

>Tell her the truth, including our dream.

She'll only be more suspicious and distrustful of us if we lie to her after magically molesting her and emotionally traumatizing her.

Not to mention that she may know something, as evidenced by her breakdown, and the fact that ???'s affection rose alongside hers during cooking time

>>31549912
>Partial truth, no idea but one of our housemates is helping me look into it.

>>31549912
I woke up and you were sleeping with me. I tried to gently extricate myself but you pulled me back and kissed me.

>>31549946

This.

With a voice of solemn sincerity and concern.

>>31549912
>>Tell her the truth, including the weird dream.

It got quiet real fast.

But looks like you're telling her about your friend from beyond.

Swallowing, you briefly consider lying to her, but for some reason you decide that that would be a bad idea in the long run and even if she doesn’t believe you, you’ll know your right as she does…whatever is that she will do, seeing as how the two reactions you’ve seen from her have either been “KILL!!!” or “Blind screaming terror.”

“The first day of class…in mysticism, I did something,” you say, “I don’t know what or how, but I saw…something. Something that I couldn’t understand, that terrified me. I’ve been dreaming of it ever since. Last night, it became…better, for me to see and tried to get in a dream bed with me. I…I was still slightly nervous around it so I did. Then I woke up, with you on top of me. After that…well you know what happened.”

Kaede eyes you as you start talking, first obviously wondering where the hell you’re going with this, but then turning more…wondering? Disbelieving?

As you finish you eye her, leaning away slightly in case she decides to try and ventilate you here and now.

But that doesn’t happen, at least not right away. She seems to be…thinking, which actually turns her face to something you can appreciate, instead of hate.

It’s almost time for the teacher to start again when she speaks.

“Meet me after class,” she says, with a voice that’s more like Kaname’s when she asked about your enchantments than with anything you expected from Kaede, “In the quad.”

With that the teacher starts again, finishing up class with what amounts to an overview of what you’d already talked about.

Kaede darts out of class immediately after the teacher dismisses you, leaving you in her dust.

So, now you have a choice.

>Meet Kaede in the quad.
>Uh, nope. (Specify elsewhere)
>Other

>>31550143
>Meet Kaede in the quad.

>>31550143
>>Meet Kaede in the quad
Hrrm

>>31550143
>>Meet Kaede in the quad.
As if there was another option

>>31550143
>Meet her in the Quad
>Head to PE class

I really don't want to disappoint Ms. Black.

>>31550166
I think we have like 2 hours between this class and PT, since last time we napped for an hour then at lunch with Tatsuko for the other hour

>>31550143

Meet in the quad.

Apparently no hesitation to meet her in the quad.

Writing.

Guide, I just wanted to let you know that Captcha is completely and utterly broken right now. I literally had to go and buy a 4chan Pass in order to get this through. Keep going if you want, but you're definitely not getting the full range of opinions on your choices right now.

>>31550269
I did the same.
Do we know what's wrong?

Glancing out the door and to the almost visible vapor trail that the strange girl left behind, you decide to meet her in the quad like she asked. It wasn’t like she was asking to meet you in a back alley on a moonless night wearing nothing but a dark cloak. It was the quad, in broad daylight. It’s nothing to worry about.

Gathering up your books, you take the time to let everyone else file out in front of you, before heading to the quad. It takes you a little while to get there, despite you going to meet her it’s not exactly something you’re looking forward to with eagerness and joy.

Finally making it, you look around, wondering where Kaede ran off too and what the hell she was doing. You wait for five minutes before you see her, long hair billowing behind her as she heads right towards you. Before you can get a word out she seizes your wrist, dragging you away. You start to resist, but then realize she’s simply dragging you towards the tables that you sat at with Kaede.

Thrusting you at one of the benches, she sits down in front of you, skirt sliding up to show plenty of leg that you probably shouldn’t be thinking about at the moment. She rummages into her bag, before pulling out another ridiculously old looking book and thrusting it into your face.

“Is this what you saw?” she asks, thrusting it into your face.

Well, is it?

>Yes.
>No, it was more female.
>Kinda.
>Other.

>I've noted the lack of response, but It's working fine for me at the moment and I'm not sure when I'll be able to run again, so we'll keep going for right now. If there are any major issues we can work on them when everything is better.

>>31550029
>No, it was more female.
More plump, more curvy, and I bet it gave better hugs than that thing.

>>31550282
I think as long as you don't refresh the page, you should be able to post.

>>31550282
>No, it was more female
>...Well, it became more female maybe?

>>31550281

Nope. If anybody did know anything, they're probably blocked out from commenting on it.

>>31550282

Ummm, not really. it was more... white. like, paper white. no face. and, it had a sundress on. that was, of course, after it started shapeshifting to a more human look.

>>31550282
>Kinda, it was more female though.
And more dressed in white. Though it was tall like what I see in this picture...

>>31550282
>>No, it was more female

>>31550291
are you trying to stir shit with her? seriously?

>>31550282
no. less arms, female, and more... Friendly?

>>31550282
>>No, it was more female.
>>Kinda.
It did shapeshift, but before it was clearly eldritch

For people with captcha problems, there is a workaround in chrome >>>/g/41439598

hopefully that cross link worked

>>31550297
This sounds detailed enough for her, if we throw in what she looked like before she started morphing to look human. We should mention how she literally changed texture when she grabbed us.

>>31550282
No, it was more female.

>>31550277
Same here.

>>31550309
and that she started out very cold, and grew more warm.
also the fact that she was much less malevolent seeming than that.

>No, it was more female.

Also, If you're using firefox and can't post, get noscript, or remove 4chan's exception if you have it already.

If you have chrome, open Java console under tools, hit the settings gear on the console that pops up, and check "disable Java" before closing the console.

Refresh the page and you should be able to post from the top of the page, but not quick-reply.

>>31550314
>>31550277
have you guys refreshed the page recently? if not, then don't.

>>31550297
Pretty sure she had a face in the last dream

>>31550322
Think it was more a suggestion of a face

>>31550322
well, she grew the face, she started out with just a white slate.

>>31550282
>No, it was more female.
"couple other differences too, like that one's got more arms and is less distinct. More importantly, this one, i don't know, "feels" more wrong I guess? not something I can really put my finger on, just a vibe"

>>31550322
Yes, its was a rather nice face too

Looks like you're telling her everything.

Writing.

>>31550331
never mind, i read back, and when we first saw her in that dream she had a face.

>>31550348
Eh, can't hurt.
And she's not killing us, so that's nice.

>>31550348
>inb4 slendy-chan is the reason she hates men

>>31550361
That'll be fine, since slendy-chan >>>>>> psycho lesbian.

>>31550361
jesus, that might be it. She's Captain Ahab who was touched innapropriately by Moby Dick, so she's studying Mysticism to hunt it down and all it's siblings. She smelt Slendy-Chan on us and panicked.

>>31550361
I think it'd be funny if slenderman raped her (oh god what has the internet done to me).
See the novel "Slenderbone" for more details.

>>31550361

And she also thinks that we slept with Slendy.

“Well, kinda,” you say, looking at the picture, “It was definitely more…female, even from the beginning. It was however that scary looking.”

“There’s more,” she says, pressing you eagerly.

“Well yeah, it started out like that but it…changed,” you say, “It…touched me, started changing itself to fit my perception of what was right, made itself more palatable to my senses.” You decide leaving out exactly how palatable for the moment, at least the explicit details.

“By the end, it, she, had changer to where she hugged me and changed herself to even feel right, skin, temperature, everything. That’s when she invited me into a bed, fully clothed,” you add that part to prevent misunderstandings, “and then we fell asleep and I woke up.”

You finish, wondering what’s going on behind Kaede’s eyes as she stares at you.

Then, she starts laughing. It’s almost scary, but it simply holds what seems to be a lot of exhaustion that needs let out.

“Of course,” she says, “of course you’d be the one who’d seen it as well…”

Wait, that means she’s seen it as well. Opening your mouth to ask her about it you freeze as she whips around and locks eyes with you again.

“You’ll tell me next time you see it,” she says harshly, hands reaching up to grab your collar but pausing and then lowering themselves to her knees, “I mean…” she swallows obviously fighting back whatever dislike of you she has.

“I mean, please, let me know next time you see it, as soon as possible.”

Well…that was unexpected. How do you respond?

I betting on the next dream we have with Slendy she will at least start saying words and/or very short, blunt sentences

...wait, if she's seen what we've seen, does that mean we are both remedial level at summoning?

>>31550656
?
that was mysticism class that we saw slendy-chan in.
We're literally in the same Summoning class. so, I'd assume we're the same in that.

>>31550656
remidial Mysticism, not summoning.

>>31550656
Mysticism. Or maybe, we were so fucking awful, we did something really good.

seeing if captcha at the top will fix problems

Ah, okay. Then summoning won't be the danderous dunce team, good.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

We should summon our familiar.
Having it around increases our mana pool, getting on better relationship with it makes us stronger, and besides all the practical reasons. its cool as hell.

>>31550776
Very true. It's just that she's not going to have seen it through being fuck-terrible at mysticism. But we probably already knew that since she has a picture of it.

I'd rather work towards better summons

>>31550816
But what if we start scrimshawing enchantments into him? He could be a mobile weapons platform.

>>31550839
Or we could do that to ourselves, and make ourselves a mobile weapons platform.

We need to get better at bullshit ancient enchanting magic, then we can just apply enchantments to nothing and they still work.

Anyone else have trouble posting? the capcha doesn't show up in the floating boxes on chrome or firefox.

I'm pretty sure that, if we actually payed a little attention to him, he'd actually become bearable, and he'd be the best choice for a bro to confide in
I still hold that he should develop a habit of summoning himself without our consent

>>31550851
That would be incredibly painful. How would we even get the skin off our skull?

>>31550851
>Or we could do that to ourselves, and make ourselves a mobile weapons platform.
can't, you can only make temp enchantments on living things. Perm enchantments require objects. I don't know if a skeleton counts as living or object

>>31550448
Well, it’s not like telling her will hurt anything, at least you don’t see how. Plus it might actually let you in on what exactly it/she is or at least give you an idea.

“Sure,” you say, getting a brief glimmer of what you think is thanks from her, “But can you tell me what you know about it? Why you’re interested?”

It’s here that you see Kaede immediately clamp up, shut down and go into cryo-freeze. It’s not particularly directed at you, your question surely, but not directly at your person. Well, maybe a little bit at you but it’s more of a side-effect than anything deliberate.

You can see Kaede wrestle with herself, probably deciding whether to tell you or not. But in the end she cracks just a little.

“Why, why you don’t get,” she says, sounding closer to the terrified girl of this morning than the evil psycho of dome ventilation, “only one other person knows and it’s going to stay that way.”

She takes a deep breath, then keeps talking.

“What it, they, she,” she chuckles at this, “are, I’m not sure. I’ve studied nearly everything I could get my hands on and even the old mystics don’t have much on them, or even know if there is a “them”.”

“But what they can agree on is that they’re beyond our plane of existence, extremely powerful and that they rarely deign to interact with us.” She sighs. “Beyond that, you probably know just as much or more than I do.”

Well, that was…helpful, kinda. Plus she avoided half of your question.

>Just say thanks.
>Dig deeper.
>Ask something else? (Insert question.)
>Other.

>>31550851
Scrimshawed familiars are probably more durable, and depending on what we enchant, enchantment failure could be very embarrassing/painful for us.

...

We need to enchant our clothes with weak shields. That way, when our (often female) opponent gets past our sweet sweet swordsmanship, she'll get an eyeful as our clothes disintegrate, which could give us and edge, since she'll be distracted by how swole we are.

>>31550881

>Dig deeper.


"Look, I want to know why you're so interested. It's the only way I'll cooperate."

>>31550881
>Dig deeper.

>>31550879
If you can't enchant yourself you can't enchant a summon.

>>31550865
So we need to be bare bones to enchant? I don't think it works like that.

>>31550861
nope fuck that loser

Are they dangerous? Is that why you're interested in them? Did they hurt somebody you cared about?

Let's not trigger her PTSD again

>Just say thanks.

Her revealing something like this is a major plot point, we won't accomplish anything other than pissing her off an losing the few affection points we have with her.

At least wait until we get the opportunity to chuck a bunch of protag points at the situation.

>>31550925
Goin with this, getting the comfy on.

Can we summon Jenkins later and make him listen to us?

And make him lose the Hat and monocle?

I hadn't considered that. Changing my vote to

>dig deeper

in the hope she leaves us the hell alone.

>>31550973
I agree, we should have a heart to floating skull with Jenkins some time.
If nothing else, to establish what we can get him to do with minimal fuss.

>>31550881
>>Just say thanks.

>>31550881
Just say thanks.
she is opening up. don't ruin it.

also, some of our harem are VERY close to permanent tier.
We should spend more time romancing them because getting them to permanent. It will grant us a unique boon, a large increase in protag point generation, they will stop eating up our protag points, and their relationship won't decay over time anymore (although it can still decay if we mistreat them)

>>31550973
>Can we summon Jenkins later and make him listen to us?
yes pls
>And make him lose the Hat and monocle?

Looks like just saying thanks wins by a little bit.

Also, you can summon Jenkins if you want, but it'll still require a consensus.

No, they're pretty dumb. Why we ever went along with it in the first place is beyond me.

Except it's not funny.

>>31551043

I vote no. Jenkins a shit.

Actually, is it possible to replace familiars? I'm not calling for a vote on that, just curious as to if it can be done.

Summon Jenkins.

C'mon...

>>31551094

I'm fine with the Skull bit that wisecracks. The Hats and monocle have to go though.

>>31551043
If we get half an hour in relative privacy, I vote for reconciling with Leeroy Jenkins.

>>31551043
Jenkins is pretty terrible, so no. Frankly he is the only thing I actually DESPISE in this quest

>>31551106

I'm just curious. Is it impossible, difficult, taboo? Or is it something that happens all the time and we just don't know?

Is it an option, even though it might be complex and difficult?

>31551043

No to summoning jenkins
yes to naptime with one of the girls

>>31551097
Jenkins, please tell me how to deal with women. You were a womanizer in life you should know

>>31551043
yes, summon him

>>31551043
no summoning.

Can we ask our summoning teacher if it's possible to unbind a familiar?

>>31551043
I'd rather hang out with Tatsuko now and summon Jenkins to talk with next time we cook something for the house.

>>31551043
no summon

>Hey guys, let's do something stupid to try and piss of the other half of the players!

Really guys?

No Jenkins, please god no Jenkins. I would rather put my testicles through a paper-shredder than deal with that shit. Cutsey irritating little fucks like him getting shoehorned places is the worst thing.

>>31551043
Thats a negative to the summoning.

was this our last class of the day or do we have another class to go to right now?

>>31551204

We're going to have to summon him if we're going to get rid of him.

You want to push, want to ask why she knows what she does, why she reacted…why she asked you politely to tell her when you would’ve expected her to just throttle you and demand that you tell her. But something stops you. You either in character or perhaps even in your aware state, that pushing Kaede on this would be a bad decision.

Something about how her eyes look at you, or maybe the memory of earlier that morning makes you decide that you can leave this alone, for now, and perhaps fix things up to where you aren’t worried about her murdering you in your sleep. So you let it drop.

“Thanks Kaede,” you say honestly, your voice being as friendly as you can with the girl. You see her relax a little as you say that, like she had been ready for you to pry and was waiting to burst at you.

She takes a deep breath, and then manages “You’re welcome,” before looking away, stuffing the book back into her bag and standing up.

“I’ll see you…at the house,” she says slowly, obviously trying to be polite, on the outside at least, seeing as how you apparently have something she wants.

With that she turns and walks away, towards where you remember the cafeteria being. Checking your watch, you still have a good deal of time before your next class.

>>31551254

>Follow after Kaede, get some food.
Don't sit with her if theres anyone else we know
in fact, maybe after we get lunch we can go to the trees and maybe encounter a wild tatsuko

>>31551225
well we could just ignore him forever
worked out so far

>>31551254
Tatsuko's tats ahoy!

>I think some trees and maybe a Tatsuko are in my future.
We can summon Jenkins later, preferably after ranking up in summoning so maybe he won't be such a prick.. Maybe..

>>31551254
>>I think some trees and maybe a Tatsuko are in my future.
plus anybody else in the harem on break

>>31551281

Eh, sure.

I would like a different familiar then. Or modify Jenkins enough.

>>31551254
had an idea. if we have a crockpot, head home and set something to simmer, then ward it so that people don't break into it before it's ready.

If not, let's grab a bite. wait a moment so Kaede doesn't think we're creeping on her.

>>31551308
well I mean, our focus is enchanting, so summoning is kinda worthless.

>>31551254
>Grab shank making materials from the cafeteria then head out to find Tatsuko.

>>31551320

I dunno. Summoning swords and enchanting them on the spot would be pretty awesome.

>>31551334
nah, just get a Corvo-esque folding sword.

>>31551320
>so summoning is kinda worthless
Because being able to call forth a sword or a creature (summonable waifus) when you need them are such terrible things

>>31551322

Huh, meant to write "snack", probably time for me to sleep.

>>31551343

I'd rather we didn't stay an idiot savant enchanter forever. The other schools of magic are probably required to unlock more of that bullshit ancient magic stuff, anyway.

Doesn't matter if we enchant our swords to explode.

>>31551343

Maybe. I'd rather we first start working on speed enhancements. Bind it into our arms and legs to make us faster. Or just enchant our shoes to make us move very fast when activated.

>>31551381
>>31551381
>wanting to summon a sword when we can just carry one
Because you can just carry a sword everywhere on a school campus or into town

OH WAIT, you can't

>>31551412
well. I'm gonna say that's wrong, given that literally everyone is walking around with the equivalent of an assault rifle's worth of power at their fingertips.

>>31551254
>Follow after Kaede, get some food.

Karasuba carries her sword everywhere, just saying.

>>31551397

>Doesn't matter if we enchant our swords to explode.

Do we get to yell "CALADBOLG" when we do so?

>>31551374

Guide, I just want you to know that this thread is the only reason I'm dealing with 4chan right now.

Captcha is beyond fucked.

>>31551397
If we are gonna enchant it to explode why even summon a sword? Just pick up a rock and enchant that.


>>31551412
mmmmhhmmmmmmm

or even just read >>31551343

Nigga, I bought a pass for this thread.

>>31551456
Same here. This and Shadow Quest are the only reason I shelled out the big 20.

>>31551441

Well yeah, but that's Karasuba. Who's going to try and take it?

But if we're allowed to just carry weapons, I vote we enchant a shotgun to shoot some kind of Riot-foam bouncy-ball shit with Mana fueled impact.

Someone fucks with us, put them in a hamster ball and send them careening across campus.

>>31551412
you fucking retarded namefag, have you even been following the quest? this is a battle school, other students carry weapons around, no one's gonna bat an eye if we have a sword

>>31551441
case in point

>>31551450

Also, we should diversify a little. We may be a savant, but we really shouldn't stay one.

>>31551456

Yeah, I can't justify the money for one with mods being as inconsistent as they are on this site.

>>31551479
That's why we're training with Karasuba. We're diversifying into physical

>>31551474
Oh my god, that's glorious. but I feel as though we shouldn't keep something so obvious with us.

>>31551412
>Because you can just carry a sword everywhere on a school campus or into town
point, it also can be knocked out of your hard.
That being said, I think we should enchant a sword with:
1. invisibility to muggles (carry it everywhere)
2. being really awesomely powerful
3. returning (if it gets knocked out of your hand, it flies back like mjolnir)

that solves those issues, but better

>>31551481
That's a fair opinion. It's ridiculously convenient now that I have one, though.

>>31551479
We're in an anime, remember? Diversifying from savant never works well.

>>31551433
>>31551450
>>31551478
If you had been paying attention, you would have recalled every time one of the girls got a weapon to use, they were all via summoning. They ain't walking around with them out in the open all willy-nilly

Except Karasuba but i mean who's going to stop her that teacher

>>31551497
but why shouldn't we also diversify into regular magic, though? We need to be the ultimate mage if we're going to do all the shit we will inevitably come up with.

>>31551499
>Using the word muggle
Kill yourself, seriously.

>>31551499
1. pretty sure that there are no "muggles" just not magically talented. plus, >>31551343 solves that issue pretty quick
2. well... duh.
3. I like the way you think.

>>31551498

Folding stock, pistol grip, short barrel. Fits right inside a normal bookbag.

Seriously, if it'll carry a 17" laptop or bigger, it will carry a trimmed folder.

>>31551522
see >>31551507

>>31551516
other teachers? the principal? the police? the military? If it was illegal she'd be stopped.

>>31551522
It's a ton of work that pays off very little compared to making sure we're physical and enchanting gods? The only one that might be useful is summoning, and that's only because we need a sword to sword things.

>>31551507
good point. in anime where the hero has a special power he never grows to be a balanced character, but finds more crazy ass uses for his special power

>>31551522
We are a character in an anime, anime follows tropes. ultimately our goals are
1. have fun
2. keep the show running
3. earn protagonist points

So rather than doing the most rational thing we would likely follow some tropes.
then again, this could be a deliberate inversion or deconstruction.

>>31551526
Not the guy you replied to, but do you have a better word to use?
No, seriously. If you have one that has less syllables than "non-magical person" or "unaware of magic" that's better than muggle, I'd use it.

>>31551583
Mundane. Short, simple, and not from Harry Potter

>>31551554
>It's a ton of work

Yeah, no shit, we're in a magical fucking university for exactly that.

>>31551583
how about "ungifted" "normal" or "average"

>>31551601
not from harry potter shouldn't even matter

>>31551579
Trying to learn other magic would make a good episode about the use(ful/less)ness of hard work, guts, and determination. That stuff fits right into an anime.

no, we're in an anime for the purpose of entertaining folks. studying and normal college stuff is not entertaining.

damn this should have totally been our familiar

>>31551583
Why not just make it invisible entirely? It makes us stick out less, except to the people who can see it, and those who can see it will treat us the same as if it was visible.

Plus, it would be really annoying to fight someone with an invisible sword. Doubly so if we make it so we can change its shape or length mid battle.

Letting out a long, deep sigh as Kaede walks away from your incredibly un-shanked, shot or beaten body, you decide that once again, those trees look damn comfy. Plus, you might get another visit from your own blue-haired cuddle buddy.

Grabbing your bag, you head over to the same spot you slept in the other day. Setting your bag down, you wonder if you should get better at summoning just so you can get a comfy pillow at will. But then you set your head down on the grass and decide that it’s plenty comfy already and that having a pillow would just ruin the whole calm, peaceful vibe you have going.

Closing your eyes as you relax, you don’t think it’s even a minute before you hear a few steps approaching you, then a soft body resting itself against you. Then you feel another one. Opening your eye, you spot the familiar head of blue hair that you expected, along with some black hair that you didn’t.

“Hello,” Akeno says with a giggle as she looks up from where she’s laying in a near mirror position from Tatsuko. “I had it on good authority this was a good place for an afternoon nap.”

“Well, I enjoy it,” you say with a smile.

This gets you a happy murmur from Tatsuko, who seems to think you’re the best pillow ever from how she’s laying on you.

“I thought you might,” says Akeno teasingly, along with tracing a finger down your side. “But then again I’m not sure we should stay here, a scary brute might take advantage of two vulnerable maidens like us.”

A vulnerable maiden…is exactly how not to describe either one of the girls hanging off your sides at the moment. But you don’t have to tell them that.

A swordmaster is going to win most fights against mages unless its a really powerful one, and for those we have allies and we can make ourselves a bitching suit of magical armor.
So we wont be useless at all.

Not saying we'd be useless, because having those two under our belt is pretty damn useful. I'm saying we should be better than useless at MORE than just those two. we don't necessarily need to be the best at them, but enough to pull our weight as well.

But Fi was the worst part of the game.

No one liked her, and she would routinely stop you to tell you something you already know, or tell you in the middle of a fight that your health is low.

Harem show. If we really tried, we could write the danger out of existence before it shows up.

But you guys are so into your battle animes.

>>31551722

We totally thought about that though. We just went to take a nap in public. Anybody who might want to grab us would be like "Wow, that guy's just taking a nap in public despite the risks. He must be a badass, we should leave."

And then they totally would.

And if that fails, we throw the cuddlebug at them and run away screaming.

And we should say exactly this if she brings it up.

>>31551722

it is actually a BATTLE animu harem show.
Harem shows are almost always draped on top of some other story.
Like Techi Mouyo GXP is draped across a space opera.
Negima is draped across a magical battle school.
etc

Fighting some BBEGs would be a good way for us to bond with our team as well as earning protag points.
... how about hard mode of having a BBEG that is genre saavy and follows the evil overlord list?

the what now?
this reminds me, since almost all enemies are bound to be girls we can probably do a lewd escape maneuver (aka, girl tries to drag us away... pull down her skirt. she will be too busy trying to cover up and we could escape in the confusion).
although this would probably have negative consequences for us, especially because we didn't go with the pervert motif (why didn't we?)

>>31551810
Of course. But I've got a bunch of stuff ready that you haven't even scratched the surface of yet.

>>31551794
>BATTLE animu harem show
Yes, and we could have stopped that if we tried, earlier. If we blew enough points, I'm sure we could stop it right now. Reminder that Akeno was the one who introduced the battle bullshit in the first place.

Speaking of points, I kinda wish we had blown some on this scene.

>>31551788
Bro, if you still can't understand why it's useless to do what you're suggesting then you're a lost cause. I'd be careful about calling others retards from that glass house though.

Fantastic.

Oh, Hey, question. Can an already established character be taken over by Awareness, becoming somebody completely, or can they just realize by the Protag telling them the issue? Or is Awareness decided completely at Chargen?
