christ, why did that get archived?

Interesting at least.

Anyway, parents came home and had to talk for a bit, so I'm being slow. And the entire point of that thread, responding to Kaname?

I guess I didn't make it clear that was entirely her fucking with you. She wasn't being serious and you were supposed to be able to tell.

My bad.

>>31631140
>She wasn't being serious and you were supposed to be able to tell.
About what, playing with their feelings, or being sentient?

>>31631140
You don't need to apologize, it got across just fine to me.

>>31631177
Playing with their feelings. She knows it's a harem anime, so she knows you can't really help it.

>>31630674
“Oh thank god,” you say to her, a sense of relief flooding into you. Despite anything that might happen in the rest of the show, some part of you is very happy that you aren’t completely alone in the world, at least not in being aware. You will always be surrounded by girls, but part of you was always worried that it was just because of the harem anime thing.

Now you have a girl who’s actually aware of what’s going on and she says she’s going to stay.

“I was worried that I’d be stuck here by myself, with just a bunch of plot points to go off of and a ton of blue hair…” You pause as Kaname gives you a look, “Sorry, it’s just that there’s a lot of you with blue hair, I don’t have anything in particular against it.”

Kaname nods. “Well, I’m glad you’re taking this well. I was worried that you’d freak out and we wouldn’t get anywhere.”

“Get anywhere?” you look at her.

“I was going to ask you where you’d come from and how much you remembered,” she says, “if we can pool our knowledge then we might be able to make this transition easier.”

Well…technically you don’t remember anything since you became sentient…well you aren’t really sure. The first thing you remember is the start of this show, with some vague half memories floating around your brain along with some other ones you aren’t sure are yours.

“Uhm, I’m not really sure how to say this,” you say, “but I don’t remember anything from before. I woke up here and I only remember some brief glances of other lives. There have been a few other things, like when I started sword fighting with Ms. Black or when I was with Tatsuko and Akeno where I remembered things, but none of them really seemed…right.”

Kaname stares at you a look of surprise on her face. “You don’t remember anything?”

“No,” you shake your head, “Is that weird?”

“I don’t know, but it seems odd to me, since I woke up sometime during my last show.” She shakes her head. “Neither of us seems to have much experience with this then,” she looks at you as you raise a questioning eyebrow, “I was in a love triangle with a bodyguard, not a harem.”

You nod at her, letting her go back to thinking.

“So, between the two of us, we have no real experience with a polyamorous relationship, we still don’t know where the rest of the plot is going and you seem to be breaking many of the expected behaviors of a harem protagonist.”

point out that in a lot of harem shows, most of the girls end up getting their hearts broken either because the protagonist is an idiot or random plot concerns. We aren't going to let that happen

I know she was in Full Metal Panic but if she became sentient half way through... I wonder if she really did have a crush on Sousuke or if she was just playing her part.

>>31631993
I like this being our reason for changing things

>>31632078
We should also ask if she met another sentient in her last show. An how she knew we were.

But voting is closed so I guess it doesn't matter.

Kaname confirmed for best girl. Did she become sentient in the Second Raid? It would make some sense.

>>31632154
It'd make more sense if she got sentient half way through the books.

I bet all the girls are sentient. It'd make sense, after this development

>>31632183
It would make sense when she merges with the Whisperer

>>31632183

“I kinda did that on purpose,” you say, causing her to look up at you.

“Well, I mean I woke up knowing how dumb most harem shows are, so I picked college to avoid a lot of them. I mean that whole first kiss thing, that was on accident, I was hoping to avoid it. Plus well…I guess I was hoping a little bit that I could make sure that I wasn’t actually breaking hearts left and right while I ignored blatant attraction.”

Kaname gives you an appraising look. One that seems to be more forgiving than most of the other ones that she’s given you.

“I guess that’s why it was so easy to figure out that you were sentient,” she says, “since you weren’t acting like the brainless moron most harem protagonists are.”

She sighs there, giving you a slight smile, “And if that is all true, which is likely since you’re a horrible liar, I don’t feel so bad being here.”

Glancing at her watch, she turns back to you. “It’s almost time for PT class, which I assume you want to get to. So let’s finish this.”

She leans forward, about half the distance between the two of you. “Kiss me so it seems like we were having a private chat about me being jealous,” she pauses, “I’d prefer if you didn’t do what you did with the other two.”

Well…shit, another girl wants you to kiss her. But this one wants a real kiss.

Seconding. It seems she's being pretty clear about not liking us that way, and I'm assuming she knows we can make "fireworks" happen if we wanted to. We really shouldn't kiss her at this time.

"If I'm kissing you, it will be because you want it, and not to keep up appearances. I'm not going to force something like that."

Smile, and leave it at that.

Nothing says we can't be good at it, we just can't supercharge that shit.

>>31632286
Wait, how does she know about that kiss? She's been scrying on us, hasn't she?
In any case,
>Give her a better kiss. -10 Protag points.
But claim to have been holding back.

>>31632286
>Give her a kiss.

Don't drop protag points, she just asked us not to.

I like this

>>31632286

Do what she asks. And the Protagonist Points are a terrible idea, since she specifically asked we don't spend them and it says something to her that we'd warp the setting to influence her despite her objections.

This is silly. Spending points will screw us over, because she's likely our best ally at this time, considering she is sentient.

With everything we just said, I'm pretty certain she will fall in love with us without using any points crap to influence her. In fact, I think she'd get pretty pissed once she realizes what we did.

We really, really don't need her to decide she should marginalize us and become the Protag herself.

It's annoying that anon always does this food schtick whenever it's this sort of quest. It's a boring trope based on a particular series. Ugh.

Let's all keep in mind how things worked out with that last sentient 'ally' everyone thought was a bro.

>>31632719
I thought there were foodies in pretty much every anime.

>>31632774
What? Who?

>>31632840
Negi.
He's currently plowing a Tatsuko

>>31632867
Oh please, tatsuko would snap him like a twig

>>31632867
wait wut

>>31632840
>>31632867

The one from the quest that this was explicitly stated to be based off of in the first thread.

>>31632867
I'm not convinced she'd bother waking up for him.

>>31632867
>Implying Tatsuko would even conetmplate sleeping with Negi
he's not even comfy

>>31632914
Does he even nap?

>>31632914
Yeah, too small and bony, not enough meat and muscle on his bones to be comfortable.

>>31632944
probably not. which means he has no shot

>>31632944
Doubtful. He sneezed hurricane force winds though, so we should probably make some enchantments to keep him from knocking us over or flipping any of the girls' skirts.

>>31632831
>I thought there were foodies in pretty much every anime.

More often than not, it's the girls who are doing the foodie thing, with the guys just eating.

It's pretty specific that the protag is some wonder chef who is obsessed with cooking, and anons seem to insist on doing this every single time. It's not a big thing, but it gets rather silly.

>>31632867
I'm fairly sure he isn't sentient.
And since when was he our ally? We only met him like last thread.

You nearly hesitate, torn between not wanting to seem like an inexperienced moron, which you technically are, and not wanting to mess with Kaname’s emotions.

She seems to sense this and gives you a small, slightly encouraging smile.

“It’s alright, we still have to keep up appearances and…well every girl has to have her first kiss sometime.”

You’re not sure what she means by that, seeing as how she said she’d been in a show already, but at the very least it galvanizes you into motion. You said you were trying not to mess with the girls, so you keep that promise.

Leaning forward, you gently put your hand on her cheek and kiss her lips. It’s a light kiss, not like the ones you shared with Akeno and Tatsuko. But it’s real, yours, which actually makes it just as good, if not sweeter than the ones with other people’s memories floating around in your head.

Breaking off just enough so that you can look into her eyes, you whisper to her lowly, “Next time…next time will be when you actually want it. Not because the show needs it.”

That causes her to blush, something you don’t think you’ve ever seen before.

“Thank you…” she says softly as she gathers up the jamming device she had set out, causing you to feel more ambient magic as it shuts down.

>+14 attraction for Kaname. Kaname is now a Harem member.

Helping her up as you both stand, the pair of you head towards the Gym and the probable effort, exertion and pain of PT class. Kaname seems lost in thought as you walk, so you leave her alone despite a number of questions that have popped into your mind. If you want, you can probably ask her later.

Stepping into the Gym, you see…significantly less people than before. It seems that a lot of magic users really don’t think that PT training is worth it. However you do see all of the girls you know that were here before, Akeno, Tatsuko and Chris are already here and dressed, talking amongst the three of them.

Kaname excuses herself and heads towards the girls locker room to change. Pulling your own gym clothes out, you head behind the bleachers to quickly change yourself. Stepping back out, you head over to the three chatting girls, but before you can say anything Ms. Black appears again.

“Alright, since you’re still here, I’m going to assume you’re serious. So for right now, I want you to pair off for a spar between students. Don’t take too long, or I’ll assign you myself.”

All three of the girls look at you.

Well…crap. As far as you know all of them are better fighters than you are. So, really it doesn’t matter who you pick. But it’s still up to you.

>Fight Akeno.
>Fight Tatsuko.

round robin. Get the three of them together with us, everyone fights everyone.

>>31632997

According to that anon, in some form of a Waifu Quest, Negi was both sentient and allied with the main character, but backstabbed the main character when protag points got low.

I don't think the enchanting teacher who is in all likelyhood lower in both skill and raw talent than us in enchanting is going to stand a chance, especially since we're currently firmly in the black and advancing the plot on our own.

I feel that Tatsuko might hold back because she doesn't want to hurt her little sleeping pillow and probably first friend, she is the best choice to spar with however.

>>31633042
>>Other. Wait and get assigned by Mrs. Black

With any luck, she'll assign us to her and we'll score some points.

Or she'll assign us to Tatsuko and we'll be suffocated to death in bewbs.

>>31633149
Alternatively, she'll knock us unconscious so she doesn't have to continue sparring and can nap on us instead.

>>31633042

>Tatsuko

She could probably break us one-handed, so she would actually be good for us since we wouldn't have to hold back.

>>31633042
fight them all. One one one, or a brawl, either is fine

>>31633042

Discuss it with them. We've got a lot of potential, but right now we're by far the weakest member of the gang. We should probably be paired with the one they think can teach us the most, or is closest to our level.

>>31633042
Akeno is primarily a ranged magic fighter and therefore likely closest to us in melee ability.

So her.

>>31633042

Personally, I'd be happy with ruining his reputation and placing a dagger in that punk's back just because the original Negi character annoys me, but this isn't some sort of Edgy Quest.

>>31633231

We probably shouldn't spar with her in PE class, since we'll be doing it in private when she's teaching us. Better to use the time sparring with one of the girls.

>>31633086
Honestly, we should be as worried about that guy who's an utter failure at enchanting. He's clearly a minmaxer.

Well…in your experience both Tatsuko and Akeno are so far out of your league it isn’t even funny and you’re worried that they might hold back, especially Tatsuko since her berserker rage seems to be firmly for people who want to hurt you.

So you decide that Chris would be a better partner, you already told her you’d spar, she seems to be less blatantly more powerful than you are and well, you’re also curious to see how she fights.

“Chris, if you wouldn’t mind,” you say nodding towards her.

Chris nods back to you, surprisingly serious for once and not blushing all over the place. “I look forward to it,” she says.

Akeno and Tatsuko look at each other and then move away, with some soft whispering going on back and forth between them.

Shaking your head, you face Chris, wondering how exactly you’re going to fight her seeing as how you don’t have a sword. But it appears that Ms. Black has your back at least, a sword shimmers into existence on your waist, pulling it out, you take a look around and see most everyone else has paired off, even Kaname with an equally non-combative looking girl.

“Alright then,” says Ms. Black, walking through the middle of everyone, “Go.”

Not a fan of ceremony is she?

You see Chris take a stance, a smaller rapier taking shape in her hands as she summons it into existence.

She appears to be waiting to see what you’ll do, at least for the moment.
>Rush her.
>Get closer, but don’t attack right away.
>Let her make the first move.
>Other.

Normally attraction points are a measure of how much a character likes us. How does this work with sentients?

This is the second time we got the exact number of points we needed to get to the next level. I think Kaname is aware of the point system and is intentionally giving us points?

>>31633573
Get closer, but bait her into making an attack first.

>>31633573

>Let her make the first move.

We have no idea how good she might be, so let her lead at least at first.

>>31633573
>>Rush her.

>>31633573
>Other
Berserker rush. Catch her off guard, and push her back, putting her on the defense.

>>31633573
>Let her make the first move.

>>31633573
>Get closer, but don’t attack right away.

>>31633573
>Get closer, but don’t attack right away.

>>31633573
>Let her make the first move.

>>31633573
Get closer to prevent her from rushing us, then wait for her to swing so we can counter. I'd assume by the rapier she uses quick thrusts , so we should be able to dodge to the side and move down her weapon, getting a solid hit

>>Get closer, but don’t attack right away.
Let's not be completely passive. Perhaps try to draw an attack.

>>31633573
>Let her make the first move.

>>31633573
She is a fencer. Damn. We are probably using a katana or something. Gotta limit her range and get close to her, is our best bet. Just rushing in or keeping a far enough distance is just asking to be picked of with a well placed poke or lunge.

>Get closer, but don't attack right away.

>>31633573
>Let her make the first move
She's using a rapier, meaning she'll go for quick thrusts, trying to keep us on the defense until she can get a hit. I suggest we wait, then when she advances on us we try to trip her, or at least stagger her for a second.

>>31633573
>Get closer, but don’t attack right away.
fencers rely on controlling range. We need to take that away to draw advantage, but a rush will just get us stabbed

>>31633573
>>Rush her.
Rapiers are not known for surviving brute force. Smash.

>>31633573
Rush her

Looks like getting closer wins by just a bit. Writing.

>>31633573
>Let her make the first move
A classic trick for dealing with a thrust is to simply slap the blade out of the way and counter with an appropriate slash while the attacker's arm is extended.

Blocking with the sword simply commits it, allowing for a quick replacement or a disengagement.

>>31633739
the problem with trying to smash a good fencer's weapon is they'll just dodge and stab you in the armpit midswing

>>31633573
Rushing had some chance of working, she was using a lighter blade than you were, but you weren’t sure of your relative skill levels or how fast she was, and to try judging by how fast Ms. Black was probably unfair to…well anybody who wasn’t Ms. Black.

However you weren’t about to let her do whatever she wanted either. Surrendering the initiative was nearly always a bad idea when it came to fighting. Even if you reacted well, it still let the opponent control the fight until you could regain it.

So you take a middle ground.

Taking a slight chance, you move closer, guard up as you close the distance. It’s not a lot, but it puts you both in easy range of each other.

Chris seems to take this as the price of doing business, tossing a couple light, easily dodged or parried swings your way.

You dodge them easily, parrying only one of them that comes just a little too close to your center of mass for comfort.

This seems to be enough for her, she backs off slightly, before suddenly darting in at you, probably at full speed with her weapon leading.

>>Parry her attack, then hit back.

>>31634001

>>Lean to the side and trip her

Seconding this!

She's committing to an attack, and since she is leading with her weapon, I"m assuming this means a lunge. This forces her into a straight line attack.

Sidestepping and tripping her is ideal.

After all, it works in Soul Calibur!

>>31633929
>>Parry her attack, then hit back.
Let's also get aggressive with footwork.

The primary thing when you take a sword in your hands is your intention to cut the enemy, whatever the means.

Also, rapiers aren't really light, regardless of what D&D tries to tell people.

>>31634001

If she's lunging, then she's got range on us. We're not going to be able to trip her from a forward lunge unless we're able to really work our feet in close, which I don't think we're deft enough for yet. just keep it to a parry and counter. Try and disarm her while we're at it.

We don't get a sword bonus from our past live swordsmanship thing or having some swordsmanship skill but our body not being trained? Or does it not work like that? How do we us it anyway?

>>31634108
They're really not. Rapiers are generally about a kilogram to one and a half kilograms, same as seemingly most swords, including katanas.
Now, if she had small sword, that would definitely be lighter. But she doesn't.

>>31634266
Our sword skill is only normal until we improve our physical conditioning, at which point it will advance to strong automatically.

>>31634266
It's probably factored into the DC

>>31634265

True, but considering what we are in (i.e. a harem series), real combat doesn't exactly apply.

Probably the one thing we have going for us is our understanding of the genre.

>>31634291
Yeah, I already knew that.
>"... having some swordsmanship skill but our body not being trained..."

So I'm just assuming with normal training then, we just get no penalties when using our sword then. Fair enough.

>>31634266
we're average with our swordsmanship, which means we get no modifier at all, compared to most of our magic, which gets a negative modifier.

>>31633929
However fast Chris is, it’s not as fast as Ms. Black, so while you can’t claim to have seen her attack coming from a mile away, you can claim to have seen it in time to block.

Batting away her lighter weapon with your own, you avoid any actual bodily harm, though her blade does manage to ruffle the sleeve of your shirt as it speeds past.

Trying to take advantage of her open position, you try to counter Chris. However she’s nearly as swift as a snake and despite your relatively close positioning she manages to dodge easily, her body moving completely out of the range of your swing before it even gets close.

As you reach the end of your swing, Chris’s body still bending away from you, you see her hand switch around to a strange position, her weapon now pointed at you like a javelin or a spear.

Wait…shit…

Her hand moves towards you, the rapier now slightly more aerodynamic in shape as it starts to fly towards you.

You have just enough time to try and block.

Which I'd rather NOT have, because nothing about the whole series we are in is realistic to begin with. We haven't done anything particularly realistic from day one.

If realistic combat was to be had, it should be in a very different kind of quest. Wrong type of series, y'know?

I'd also worry that by trying to make combat too realistic, we might actually change the genre of the series from harem...to something we really don't want.

the opposite would happen, do you really think there is a single realistic battle anime out there?

That's dumb. If guide rolls a die and someone else rolls the same die... there is exactly a 50/50 chance of one being higher than the other.

Why doesn't guide just ask to roll 1d2. 1 = lose, 2 = win. You would have the same probability.

I'm talking more about the series getting turned into something where people start DYING.

When you start dealing with realism, people don't shrug off damage, don't ignore being fried with magic, and certainly don't get up after being impaled by a sword.

We really don't want realism here in ANY form, in my opinion.

>>31634538

And we shouldn't have been able to do what we did with the girls. And that other girl shouldn't have been able to shoot a massive laser beam that nearly killed us. And we shouldn't have been able to make that magic phone thing.

Or accidentally grope her. Suddenly, flashbacks to early PGQ.

>>31634424
You manage to get your sword up as Chris’s rapier flashes towards you, the slim blade glinting in the artificial light as it speeds towards your torso.

However you manage to intersperse sword in time, barely, causing the blade to simply shoot past your left arm, leaving a small bloody gash as it whistles by.

Fuck that hurts, you can’t help but glance at the red liquid that starts dripping from the slice, but you turn back to face her just in time to duck another thrust, by a different blade than the one that just flew by your head.

That’s right, you remember Chris saying something about throwing her weapon at her opponents and then summoning another to keep going. Well isn’t that a nice trick…when you aren’t on the receiving end.

But she has the advantage right now, pressing it to the fullest extent that she can as you barely dodge and parry the next few attacks. Luckily, it seems Chris is getting tired at nearly the same rate you are, maybe a little less but she definitely doesn’t have the same stamina Ms. Black has.

You both circle around slowly, Chris managing to keep the pace to her advantage. You need to try something.

In a sense, she's already fighting dirty by "throwing" her sword at us while summoning another.
