Imaging if another member of our harem - or even Ms Black showed up and saw us cuddling half-naked.

At the very least we'd lose a few affection points from the midunderstanding, at worst we get ambushed by Lydia's army of mooks while naked.

>>31669328
I think you mean "at best"

>>31669183
>You should probably get to class…
Much as I love cuddles, I think mysticism is next, and we need to try and ask the teacher about Slender-chan.

>>31669328
Keep in mind, the reaction we got from the one (confirmed) sentient harem member about us with our harem was a shrug. Seeing us get kissed by a non-confirmed harem member was to get a kiss for themselves. Paranoia need not necessarily fit into the equation, at least with confirmed harem members

Looks like you're going for ultra good student, seeing as how even cuddles will not keep you from class.

>>31669183
>You should probably get to class…

>>31669528
we need to go to classes to protect those cuddles.

>>31669528
Cuddles can still happen after class.

Thanks for that, fixed it.

>>31669528
Cuddles are forever, Guide.

To be honest, I'm astounded at her restraint. I'd figure she'd have tried to crawl onto the couch with us ages ago.

>>31669635
A question about casting: Do buffing spells fall under that magic school? I was under the impression it was more for blaster mages, but tatsuko continues to just punch people really hard.

>>31669664
I'm guessing she's not going to let a repeat of this morning happen again, one way or another.

>>31669635

We also technically don't have enough affection with Akeno to see her stats in the pastebin, but they're there anyways.

>>31669692
Buffs/debuffs are Enchanting, I believe

>>31669664
But, we've been there one night.
That's some fucking time travel there.

>>31669692
Tatsuko punches people hard. She punches them harder and with special effects with casting.

>>31669721
That's me being lazy/you probably could've figured that out. You'll probably hit it soon anyway.

>>31669739

Not to mention that the couch isn't big enough to accommodate John, Tatsuko, and Kaede all at once, so our morning event wouldn't have proc'ed correctly if Tatsuko crawled in with us.

>>31669739
>Insert cliche: 'It's only been a few weeks, but it feels like we've been here (insert multiple here)!" line here

>>31669635
Akeno should be our only probationary Harem member. But it lists them all as probationary Harem members.

You groan internally even as you think about how nice this is. Despite your inner voice telling you to just stay here; you know that getting to class is the better choice in the long run.

So you gently nudge Tatsuko with your shoulder, drawing a small moan from her as she raises her head and looks at you.

“Time to go to class,” you say, trying to let her know that you don’t particularly want to go any more than she does.

Tatsuko grumbles slightly, but slowly peels herself away from your form and towards you your clothes. You wait until she moves, then stand yourself and get your own clothes. The two of you dress quickly, though you do enjoy Tatsuko’s form as it moves.

As you gather your bag and head towards the Mysticism building, Tatsuko walks closely next to you as you do, a slightly bigger smile than normal on her face. The two of you walk inside nearly together, taking your seats at the table you had previously used. Settling in, you pull out your notebook and your pen. As you feel the voice take its place in the front of the classroom. Today appears to be a lecture day.

Class goes by relatively quickly, seeing as how you mostly block it out/it doesn’t actually exist because anyone watching this show doesn’t truly want to listen to the exact methods on how to shield your mind while working with a crystal ball or how to crook your fingers correctly.

Class finally ends, most of the students filing out immediately after the teacher lets you go. However the voice calls out to you as you start to head out.

“Mr. Galt, did you still want to speak to me about the incident the other day?”

Well, do you?

>Yes.
>No.
>I need a rain check Ms. Voice lady.

You know, I wonder if Kaede's previous reactions are from a 'male' member of the species our Slender Lady came from. Or maybe it's a blank slate creature, and was trying to interact with her, but it only scared the piss out of her when it started taking a more masculine form. And now it's interacting with us, and excited we aren't running in terror and helping 'her/it' learn how to be human?

>>31670179

A fine course of action.

>>31670179
Well, you don’t exactly know much more about…her…than you ever had and this is supposed to be the mysticism teacher, she should know something right?

“Yes, yes I did,” you say, nodding to Tatsuko to wait by the door.

“Alright,” says the floating voice, apparently slightly disappointed that you still do, “What exactly did you see then?”

You pause, wondering exactly how to describe the pure pants shitting terror that accompanied that first vision that you saw and the accompanying transition from mildly terrifying and slightly attractive then finally to seemed to be a pale woman who couldn’t talk. So you decide to just go through the basics at first.

“Well, I was trying to look through the crystal ball like you asked,” you say, “But I did let my mind wander a little bit. Then I saw this…shadowy creature. I didn’t get a very good look at it, but I could tell it was just wrong and that it had noticed me as well. It reached for me with some strange tentacles, but that’s when the crystal ball exploded.” You pause there, wondering if you should continue.

“But there’s more, isn’t there?” asks the teacher.

You nod and then continue, “That night, while I dreamt, I woke up in a place that seemed to be made in a similar way as it was…they were both just wrong. I ran away when I felt it, but it caught up, so I turned around and while it was still wrong, it had started to change, appear more…normal for lack of a better word. Then last night, it appeared again, this time looking nearly like a person and making an image of my old room. It was still wrong at first, its skin felt weird, but then it finished changing and felt completely normal, it just looked a little pale. One of my…roommates talked to me about what it, she, might be, but didn’t have very many answers beyond it being a powerful and mysterious being. I was wondering if you might have any ideas.”

There’s a long pregnant pause as the voice apparently mulls over your story.

“Would that roommate happen to be Ms. Kaede Sakura?” the teacher asks.

“Yes,” you respond automatically.

There’s a sigh from the voice. “I’m afraid Mr. Galt, that you have been led astray by a very bright and yet very traumatized young lady. What you saw was more than likely just beginners’ sickness, the stray visions that young Mystics often get when they don’t shield their minds properly. They generally disappear after about a week or so. Ms. Sakura has some strange ideas about them and refuses to see reason after repeated discussions with most of the faculty.”

Well this is great, your teacher obviously doesn’t believe you. But then again, maybe she’s right. Your doubt apparently forms on your face and the voice can see it.

“But I can see that you believe there is something wrong with you, that “something”” you can hear the quotation marks, “is following you in your dreams. As such, I will offer you the same thing I always offer to students suffering from beginners’ sickness, a dream catcher so that you can sleep undisturbed by any dream.”

Said dream catcher pops into existence in reach of your hand.

Sir, while Kaede was clearly traumatized by the being, my interactions were quite actually quite benign.
I don't actually feel there is anything wrong with me, nor do I feel unsafe in its presence. It has been friendly and curious rather then hostile. I am guessing that whatever experiences kaede had was with a different individual. I am rather curious at both of us seeing the same thing independently.

Looks like taking it for study wins by a little.

That'll be interesting.

>>31671388
While the voice is a little deep, all of your teachers besides the Enchanting teacher, who is a familiar, are very obviously female.

Just for reference.

>>31671480
oh, right. I forgot most witches are female.
silly me.

>>31671096
Well, even if you don’t use the thing you can probably get some use out of it, study it maybe. So you reach out and take it.

“Just leave it over your sleeping area for about a week Mr. Galt,” says the voice, clearly relieved that you aren’t fighting it, “The dreams should end by themselves sometime around then. If they persist, there are other measures we can take. I must go now, have a pleasant evening.”

With that, you feel the voice’s presence disappear, leaving you alone in the room with your new dream catcher. Heading back outside, you find Tatsuko waiting for you. She sees the object in your hand and looks at it curiously.

“What’s that?” she asks.

“It’s a dream catcher,” you reply, “The teacher said I was probably just having funny dreams and that I shouldn’t worry and to just put it above where I sleep so I don’t have them anymore.”

Tatsuko looks at the thing for a few seconds and then looks ahead once more. “I like my dreams,” she says, “even if they are a little strange.”

You briefly wonder what Tatsuko dreams about, probably cuddling or food you presume, but then realize that you’re walking by the dojo on your way back to your house.

You could probably go workout some right now or you could go home, relax, maybe cook and study something.

1. its rude not to show up when expected

3. we need the tutoring.

You think it over briefly, before deciding that standing up your physical training teacher, especially only the day after she said that she’d start training you, is probably a bad idea. That’s before even considering the fact that she seems to actively enjoy beating the snot out of you and the other students.

Tatsuko looks at you as you step towards the building, her eyebrows raised in a questioning look.

“Training,” you say, pointing towards the door, “Ms. Black is expecting me.”

Tatsuko nod’s slowly, evidently not thrilled with the idea. “Don’t get hurt,” she says firmly, the slight change in pitch from her normal tone letting you know that she’s serious.

“I promise not to get hurt,” you say back, “I have an aversion to pain.”

Tatusko nods at that, apparently taking your words at face value, but not finding them particularly funny.

“See you at home,” she says, leaving you to enter the dojo by yourself.

Stepping inside, you’re greeted by the clean, relatively empty room and no Ms. Black. However, there is a new addition, a rack of various weapons, both training and real. Setting your bag down, you go over and examine them. None of them seem to be modified or enchanted in any way, just plain, normally forged or shaped items.

Glancing around, you wonder if you missed her or if she’s busy, you didn’t exactly specify a time that you’d meet.

You guess you could start on your own, try and see if any of your memories help with that. Or you could wait. You also feel a Protag point sink forming. It’s a…montage? Yes. It seems like there’s a training montage opportunity here, probably should be expected, you’ve been here long enough for your first one. But it feels…more generic, unless you want to try mixing them, which could lead to…interesting results.

The training montage would be nice, but my primary purpose here is to get her in the harem.

>>31672199
She is less crazy than most of our harem.
Also, I don't WANT to do it... I want to end up with her being our "bro" (who is a lesbian)... hey, that WOULD be a nice subversion of a trope (and we seem to be going for those)

I am saying if it does happen I want it to be for good reasons rather then cringe worthy ones

This act was repealed in 1978.

True. I think you should consider that act in the context of the first amendment though and the American principle of freedom of religion.

Training Montage -20 Protag Points, we might just get some attraction points for ms black if she walks in and watchs us train.

>>31672176
I have the feeling she was actually raped by a woman. Not sure why though.

I must ask, why do you all assume Kaede's trauma is rape?

>>31672778
Because we're in an anime.

>>31672778

Because her reactions towards us are a bit too extreme for anything but extreme physical or sexual abuse

>>31672803
That's a reason to not expect rape.

>>31672778
Anime? That aside it's the most talked about IRL reason.

Also this one guy the past couple of threads won't stop white knighting because his lady friend ect.

>>31672778
I think it's something silly like the Chairman's daughter's in Kangoku Gakuen. Dem daddy issues.

>>31672778
it is a standard manhating thing along with unattractiveness
At least in fictiion

>>31672778
I'm assuming it because of what she was saying when we hit her with the plot attack. Sounded like she was being forced to do something... I guess it could be something nonsexual, but I'd have no idea what.

Also, because everyone else assumes it. Hivemind indeed.

>>31672778
>I must ask, why do you all assume Kaede's trauma is rape?
Because the trope of rape victim has been raped to death by authors who use it as a cheap excuse for drama.
It is extremely commonly used by live action movies, anime, fanfics, quests, and players writing character backstories in RPG games in lieu of actual character development or history.

>>31672778
>>31672879
Oh, almost forgot, a big hint is that she had a PTSD episode from kissing us.

>>31672778
Actually, I just assumed it was domestic abuse given the heavily hinted parental component.

>>31672879
This. My mind went Hates Guys? Has trauma associated with it? Obviously rape.

It's so overused in media that it skips past rational thought.

It's like you all think I haven't seen rape used as many times and as terribly as you have.

Anyway, still writing.

>>31672778
I'm actually pretty sure there's something unique and more than what is readily apparent going on with her going nuts. Rape is the first one people talk about because that's what people use in fiction.

>>31672923
She is not unattractive so it is a fair assumption based off the norm

Glancing around once more, you decide to wait, seeing as how Ms. Black isn’t here. You take a seat next to the door, waiting.

And waiting.

It seems like forever, but is probably only thirty minutes or so before Ms. Black appears, jumping lightly from one of the overhead beams to the ground, in a display of agility that you could only wish to emulate.

She looks at you, then looks at the sword rack, then back to you.

“You didn’t even pick up one of the new toys I’d set out for you,” she says, sounding hurt, “I thought you’d at least play with them a little bit.”

You open your mouth to respond, but she shakes her head.

“Nope, it’s training time now. Talking is for later. Pick up one of the weapons and let’s get started.”

Shutting up, you head over to the weapons rack, gazing at the weapons once more.

There’s the generic wooden training sword, a quick heft shows that it’s weighted for training and relatively sturdy.

There’s also an even heavier completely metal sword, which would be an absolute bitch to train with, though you’d probably “get swole” as they say, even faster.

Finally, there is an actual sword, complete with razor sharp edge. It’s not a normal training weapon, but then again you’d be training with what you’ll probably be using.

1.) Can't be killed (right?)
2.) Would tweak her something fierce I plumb reckon
3.) Nothing like the real thing to get experience
4.) Will get us used to using the real thing.

I fear using the >Metal option will grant us more strength, but not to be necessarily more comfortable with a sword.

>>31673312
I'm fine with blood, which will happen with metal.

Bone? Not so much.

you're right, real would be better for sword skills
but I voted metal because swole

Real

>>31673345
except, we are used to the real thing. we have a high skill level, we just don't have enough muskls

>>31673215
Actual. The more you bleed in training the less you sweat in battle. Or something like that.

>>31673215
wait, is the real sword as heavy as the metal one? I voted metal cause i assumed it was heavier but that is silly... switching my vote to real.

>>31673319

>Metal training sword is heavier than sharp metal real sword
But they are both made of the same material. one is just sharper then the other.

>>31673402
We're also slow though. I'd say we train for what we're likely to use.

... I guess that would be wood for the near future, what with the number of mooks we've been meeting...

>>31673453
one's bigger

>>31673453
Training sword is probably thicker. Therefore heavier.

>>31673215
Guide, are the metal and real ones the same weight, or does the metal training one have a lead core or something?

I'm assuming the >Metal option is like a metal version of a wooden subari bokken. It's made to look like a sword, but be bulkier for a lot of reasons.

>>31673383
>implying we don't one-hand the zwei

Next time I say we spend the bloody protag points. I think Guide's getting annoyed with our refusing to take the bait.

>>31673505
True. We should go with the real sword since it's lighter.

>>31673491
We're slow because our physical stat is 3/5. From the description, metal sword increases physical stat faster than everything else, and our sword stat is currently limited by the physical stat. Our overriding concern right now is to get stronger.

>>31673491
well, we're slow because we don't have the muskls yet. if anything, a real sword would move faster.

>>31673564
haha
I'm going with the metal sword because it's heavier.

>>31673536
>>31673516
Like that.

It's shaped like a sword.

But if you tried to use it as one you'd be doing bludgeoning damage.

Anyway, looks like you're trying the metal one.

Give me 1d100.

You get -10 because it's a damn heavy sword. But if you do well...yeah.

>>31673648
Well, looks like we'll need to keep trying. I for one am ok with that. But perhaps we could try to spend a few protag points to get into the zone, despite being outmatched.

>>31673741
how about we just grow ourselves a third arm?

seriously. get an arm from a mannequin, and use a high level animate enchantment on it.

>>31673713
eh, it's a good start point. And if we're lucky, she'll point out our problems and we'll do better in round two, ending that one in a bladelock while she smiles maniacally

Shooting high aren't we.

>>31673933
Hope is the only thing we have left.

>>31673933
I doubt we'll ever get good enough to hit her, much less get a blade lock with her, if she fights serious. But if she's having fun, that's a whole different matter

>>31673952
I'm tempted to show you her stats. Just because. But I won't.

Going to say, yes and don't know.

It would also suffer from the standard, it's an automatic weapon. Against someone competent it's going to suck balls.

Fuck it. Go big or go home seems to have been your motto so far, so you continue it, grabbing the heavy metal training sword. Hefting it, you turn back towards Ms. Black, who smiles just a bit.

“Well, at least I can tell you’re serious. Let’s get started then.”

After that, well it hurt, quite a bit.

Ms. Black was Merciless, the stances had to be perfect, each swing, each change even in this basic footwork was judged harshly. You’d swear that you had done exactly the same thing, but according to her, it didn’t count. Do it again. You got used to that quickly. Again, again, again.

And that damn sword…as you started out it was ok, you were fresh, eager to prove that you could do this. But after a while, your true strength showed itself. It wasn’t that you couldn’t do it. It was that you couldn’t do it again and again for nearly two hours.

By the time you were done, your arms were basically numb, having already passed screaming pain, you think you might have gone back around again actually. Combined with your shoulders and upper back, along with some of your core muscles, it was mildly surprising you were still on your feet.

Your legs were in a little better shape, having only to support you and move, but they were still rather sore. You’d be able to make it home though. Probably.

The large metal training sword clatters to the ground, slipping out of your chaffed hands as you breath heavily, shaking your arms weakly.

Ms. Black seems amused at your state, picking up the monstrosity, it seems so much worse now, and setting it back into its cradle.

“How’re you doing over there?” she asks like she hadn’t just spent eternity making you lift a billion tons…ok well maybe not that much. Just half a billion.

She steps in front of you, leaning down from above as you breathe heavily.

“Need some help?” she asks, raising her hand like she does when she does that stamina trick.
