<br />
-->The capital city of Ryken was beautiful. It simply rivaled anything Rosanna had ever seen on Earth. Not even the most magnificent structures like the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris could compare to the towering beauty of the royal palace that overviewed the city. The idyllic Kabnak river which was the countries largest river only further served to add more charm to the capital. It was a city ripped out of a fantasy novel. But then again this whole world was its own fantasy novel. She a country-bumpkin was absolutely amazed by everything taking in the sights with burning curiosity. Yet she did not forget her purpose for coming here in the first place. The Imperial Logia Academy of Ryken. This school produced some of the best intellects and mages of the century. But if you weren't born with a talent of magic or held the sharpest mind that didn't mean it was the end of the world for you. Many regular graduates went on to secure a trade that suited them and practically guaranteed a secured future. Right now it should be a little over three months into the school year so joining the academy now wouldn't be too awkward.<br>
<br>
That's right, she endured the painfulness of traveling in a ratty old wagon to the capital to gain admission to one of the most elite schools in the country. Commoners were allowed to attend but according to some of the whispers, she's heard whilst traveling it was apparent most of the aristocratic side of Logia didn't take too well to them. Though that was a worry for the future Rosanna to deal with, the current Rosanna was only worried about gaining admission to the academy. She had only come to the capital with the clothes on her back. Literally. The only item she had in her possessions currently was a single patched wool dress and worn leather boots given to her by her mother. It was of slightly better quality than the old dress she usually wore back at home. The Payne family didn't have much a lot of things especially money so she instantly threw away the idea of borrowing money from her parents for expenses while in the capital. She could make do no matter how small. With Chinatsu's experience as an actress in the entertainment industry, it wouldn't be impossible to earn some sliver.<br>
<br>
Had she never awakened the buried memories of her past life she most likely would have lived her whole life unaware in her home village. So she was immensely grateful for these memories, she swore she'd put them to good use. At last, she had finally arrived at the festival hosted by the academy located in an accessory courtyard out front between the main campus and the rest of the city. Though she didn't know why it was being held it was a god-sent opportunity for her. It was a great chance for people who wanted to enter the school themselves or whose relatives were interested in the school to come but they had to be checked by academy guards first for safety reasons. After going through it all the guards permitted her to pass through. Almost immediately her eyes widened at the impressive scenes before her. A young mage who appeared to be a student juggled balls of fire and water in their hands while entertaining a crowd, another mage threw a bunch of flowers into the air and then made them all fully bloom, the magical flowers descending into open palms of those below. Stalls were also set up each containing its own special thing. While she did come here with a very important mission it'd be okay to enjoy herself for a bit right..?<br>
<br>
With that in mind, she set off into the joyous festival. Honestly, this was all kind of nostalgic. It reminded her of Chinatsu's cultural school festivals without the fantasy elements of course. Rosanna made sure to pay attention to her surroundings lest she bump into somebody. If she accidentally bumped into an aristocrat and incurred their wrath it'd be over for her. A commoner from a small farming village like her would be easy to get rid of. Just thinking of such a situation rattled her bones. Unfortunately, it seemed like she jinked it for she collided with someone after letting her guard down for just a second. <div class="bbcode-border" style="border: transparent; padding:0; display:inline; color: var(--color-2); font-weight:bold;;">"Ah! I'm terribly sorry! I-" </div> Rosanna turned around to apologize to the person but her words stopped midway through her sentence as her gaze landed upon his face. Why did this man seem so familiar? It wasn't his presence that seem familiar in the sense but his features. Wait.. weren't those eurocentric features?! Her suspicions were quickly rising.<br>
<br>
Was it possible for other people from Earth to be here? Rosanna couldn't immediately label it out to be impossible. After all, she herself had reincarnated into this world and that in itself was shocking. In Chinatsu's memories, she vaguely remembered meeting [god] upon her death and they told her many things but had never once mentioned anything about other people from Earth coming here like she was. Then again why would they tell her something like that? So many mysteries in such a short time. In this place, the man could be said to be unique with the plain colors of his eyes and hair. Most people had eye-catching colors that were bright or dark. Rosanna carried the traits of unnameable pink hair and jeweled red eyes. <div class="bbcode-border" style="border: transparent; padding:0; display:inline; color: var(--color-2); font-weight:bold;;">"Are you a foreigner? I've never seen someone that looks like you before. You must come from a very distant country right?"</div> She gave a closed-eye smile and put heavy emphasis on the 'very' part of her words. Maybe what she said seemed threatening but she was just in the mood for some teasing at the moment. Plus she was also very curious as well!<br>

<br>
It was a long ride over from the periphery villages. Much like the other passengers of the caravan, the human in the plain brown cloak was exhausted. Bumping around on a cart with un-sprung spokes of wood along an unpaved and often cobbled path was only barely more comfortable than walking. At least his muscles weren’t sore.<br>
<br>
As he looked around, he soaked in the view. The capital city of Ryken. A truly remarkable place. The plain-clothed traveler had heard of the place before. It was always described as a ‘melting pot’ where people from the surrounding empires go to sightsee and do business. Being a capital city, it also bore the prestige of housing some rather important people. Those important people happened to really value money. And money arises from innovation. And that is where the mind of the plain-clothed traveler was focused.<br>
<br>
Ever since he started his life here in this new world, he had been intrigued by the various oddities that he had seen around himself. People with various different ear-shapes, glowing ephemeral jewelry, and seemingly anachronistic historical weaponry casually strolled around like they were in the middle of some sort of cosplay convention. It was more than a little off-putting for a modern man like him, but he was steadily getting used to it. He learned the basics of how everything worked in the world through his time traveling between here and the village he found upon his 'arrival'. Now it was time to put those basics to use.<br>
<br>
As everyone from the caravan gradually dispersed into the rest of the crowd around the gates in to the city, the plain-clothed traveler grasped his money pouch. He looked around with a discerning gaze, watching the people near the gate. As he watched, several people got their belongings searched by armored men, then they had their possessions returned, and they pulled out a single metallic coin, handing it to other armored men as they headed in through the gate. The plain-clothed traveler looked into his own money pouch, but grimaced. He let the pouch hang by his side once more, then thought for a few moments.<br>
<br>
He looked around at the various people by the gate. Among them, he saw a long line of people waiting for their turn. Some of them were talking with one another, but plenty of them were just kicking sod around, bored. Then a thought occurred to him. He cleared his throat, stood out near the line, and raised his voice. <b>”Hello all! Today is a most wonderful day!”</b> A few gazes turned his way as he began speaking. He grinned. <b>”Upon this day, we have been granted the opportunity to see a most wonderful sight! The bountiful Capital of Ryken! Whether it be the towering spires of the palace or the rolling streams of the waterways, your eyes will surely receive a treat behind these walls. But alas, a lengthy obstacle has stalled your thrill! A dreary lull has fallen upon this crowd, and has left y’all sullen, I fear! ”</b><br>
<br>
A few others looked his way as he spoke. Whether it was the energy with which he was speaking, or the unusualness of his presentation and accent, it seemed to be getting him some attention. There were some glares, but certainly, plenty of folk were listening. The plain-clothed traveler raised his arms, and began gesturing in a practiced, if still amateurish manner. <b>”Tis a tragedy to leave such as thee, weary travelers and worthy men, in such a sad and sorry state! So lend me your ear, let me weave you a story to pass the time. I’ll entice your minds, your imaginations and…perhaps…”</b> He tapped his money pouch, and winked.<br>
<br>
There were a few chuckles, a few crossed arms, and a bunch of skepticism. But he carried on. He spoke a tale he had heard along his travels. A story of a young boy and a troll becoming friends, and parting in tragedy. He wasn’t particularly skilled at storytelling, so his delivery and wording were quite awkward at times, but the details were interesting enough to keep some gazes. A dozen minutes later, he finished the story with a bow, and several people applauded half-heartedly. As he went around for tips, several people gave him some tiny metal coins, primarily out of obligation. One person gave him a slightly bigger coin, complimenting his 'imagination'. The plain-clothed traveler thanked them sincerely, then counted his earnings. He grinned after finishing the tally, then got in line with a smirk.<br>
<br>
…<br>
<br>
Two tiny coins jingled together in his coin purse as he walked along the cobbled streets of Ryken. The capital city was large, certainly. The plain-clothed traveler had wandered around for well over an hour and still had to keep asking directions to his destination. Horses raced by, excited mumbling buzzed around, and the occasional shout of “Stop” or “Thief” rang out before getting drowned by clatter and chatter. The flapping of flying people darting overhead, the flash of magic, and the twinkling of ephemeral magics spinning through the air gave the place a special feeling, to the plain-clothed traveler at least. It was an afternoon in a busy city, and the place was definitely alive.<br>
<br>
However, the plain-clothed traveler was not interested in mere street chatter. He did not let himself get distracted by the various oddities around him - or, at least, not for very long. He had his eyes set on a different goal entirely. At long last, he managed to turn a corner and spot the remarkable spires of the facility he was looking for – the Imperial Logia Academy of Ryken. Banners of Ryke and of the academy’s own emblem fluttered vigorously in the wind over each of the spires of the elegant building. The campus was mostly hidden behind some tall and rather elegantly designed marble walls, but the sheer scale of the campus was breathtaking nonetheless. No matter the angle, the artistry in the design and position of the buildings behind the walls was evident, demanding from all who looked upon it awe and respect toward the architects who designed it.<br>
<br>
The plain-clothed traveler walked around the walls of the campus, observing it and granting it the awe that it rightfully seemed to deserve. He asked the guards at various gates if he could be granted access, but they denied him. As he inquired further, they told him that they denied all non-students, and told him to go to the accessory courtyard at the front of the campus. They said that there was a festival ongoing, and that he would be able to see the students 'bring honor to the academy' by using their talents to bring the city of Ryken merriment and joy. All while hopefully earning money to fund their scholarly ventures. The plain-clothed traveler was excited to hear the premise of the festivities, so he hastened his venture.<br>
<br>
...<br>
<br>
Soon, he found his way to the accessory courtyard. It was a remarkably busy place, with people streaming in and out through the gates in massive crowds. The festival grounds were even more crowded than the front gate of the capital. The plain-clothed traveler had to stop a moment to take in the view. The crowds weren't large enough that individuals became completely indistinguishable, but bumping into something would clearly be inevitable. He gathered his nerves and approached.<br>
<br>
There was a small clearing before the front gates of the academy, where numerous groups of people stood and looked around, seemingly waiting for others. He decided to approach that area, as it seemed slightly more accessible at the moment. He occasionally glanced back over at the gates as he walked over, attempting to catch a glance inside. But as he did, he incidentally bumped into someone. He quickly backed up a step to make some space, and held out his hands worriedly. <b>"Ah..."</b> he mumbled, his words overlapping the missie's hasty apology. He smiled at her warmly as she paused, but shook his head. <b>"You can't take all the fault missie, I wasn't lookin' either."</b><br>
<br>
There was an awkward pause after his comment. Evidently, she was staring at him. He raised an eyebrow, but remained silent. After her comment, he chuckled and shook his head, retorting, <b>"All kinds in these parts, dearie. Welcome to Ryken."</b> He glanced at her clothes, then grinned, and commented, <b>"Looks like yer not here for spendin', aye? People come from all o'er to take a gander at this 'ere place. Some from <i>very</i> far away."</b> He winks after that comment, then extends his hand in greeting, grinning even wider. <b>"If ye care fer names, mine is Dan. I'm not just here fer a gander. I'm a bit more ambitious than that. How about yerself?"</b><br>
<br>
After they exchanged their greetings, he gestured to the entryway. <b>"Well then, no time like the present. If you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours."</b> With that, he began walking over to the gates. It didn't take long to get through, since the guards were evidently pretty quick at their job. Once Dan was in the courtyard, he looked around in awe. There were at least a hundred individual stalls, and people were doing performances all over the place. There even seemed to be a small elevated arena set up for duels. Dan continued taking in the view for a bit, looking quite impressed.</div>

-->Part of her suspicions were confirmed upon hearing the man speak. Though she didn't know what natives from other countries besides the protectorate of Ryke sounded like that accent definitely wasn't from around here. Not from <i>this</i> world at least. It sounded familiar perhaps Chinatsu heard it somewhere in the past? Like on a radio show or popular series? Rosanna looked at the outstretched hand in front of her, blinked for a moment before taking it. The man's hand wasn't rough as a laborers hand would likely be suggesting a good upbringing or a lack of hard physical activities. But then again she also didn't have any calluses on her hands despite being a farmer's daughter. While she did help out in the field she wasn't doing back-breaking labor as her older brother was. Silently she wondered if her brother held grievances over that. <div class="bbcode-border" style="border: transparent; padding:0; display:inline; color: var(--color-2); font-weight:bold;;">"Wonderful to meet you, Dan. I'm Rosanna."</div> She briefly considered the fact of Dan not having a surname since one was not given but quickly pushed that down. It was more like he wasn't giving one than not having one. It didn't bother her really but she didn't give her last name either.<br>
<br>
No matter how small of the card it may be it was always good to keep it close to your chest. Even the smallest of things could make a major difference. <div class="bbcode-border" style="border: transparent; padding:0; display:inline; color: var(--color-2); font-weight:bold;;">"I'm not here for a gander either. It would seem we are two ambitious peas in a pod perhaps we're here for the same reasons or maybe not?"</div> Scratching each other's back huh? That was something that could be done. It was always good to have people you could receive help from no matter how long you've known them. To Dan's words, she nodded and followed in closely after him. Rosanna had already been checked before so she passed through without any complications. As she walked by her new acquaintance's side she took in the sights, more notable, the stalls. The things on display caught her eye. Unfortunately, no matter how much she'd like to have bought a few she was literally penniless.<br>
<br>
With a regretful sigh, she promised herself that there'd come a day where she'd have enough money to buy out an entire market. <div class="bbcode-border" style="border: transparent; padding:0; display:inline; color: var(--color-2); font-weight:bold;;">"There are so many stalls! So many amazing options that are making my head spin. Oh but besides the stalls didn't you mean you weren't here just to take in the sights?"</div> Apparently ignoring the fact she had only just met Dan a few minutes ago she started chatting with him like a close friend. She'd never say this out loud she was extremely lonely. Whether it was the fact everything in this world was almost completely alien to her or that she had zero friends even back in the village. So it was a tremendous relief to have found somebody that could possibly be from the same world as she was. Rosanna wasn't alone anymore. Even if this temporary companionship lasted for an hour or day she was happy to not be experiencing this festival alone.<br>
<br>
As the pair of two walked Rosanna continued on with the conversation. <div class="bbcode-border" style="border: transparent; padding:0; display:inline; color: var(--color-2); font-weight:bold;;">"This is a complete guess but are you perhaps trying to get into the academy? If so I am too."</div> It would make sense right? If Dan did come from Earth and wasn't reincarnated as she was, suddenly transported to this world then he would try to gain all the knowledge he could right? The fastest way to gain that wanted knowledge was to gain admission to The Imperial Logia Academy of Ryken. At this moment she felt like a genius for deducing such a thing. If he answered yes then she would happily jump on ship with him. Two peas in a pod were significantly better than one pea.<br>

<br>
Evidently, Rosanna took far less time getting through the gates than Dan had originally expected. Upon hearing the lady sigh next to him, he looked over, somewhat startled. He regained his composure after hearing her comments, nodding a bit in agreement. After her question, he chuckled and shook his head, looking back over to the scene before them with a slight, distant grin. <b>"Ahh, indeed, I did. However, I did not come here to blindly rush around either. The first step of any successful venture is research."</b> He quickly pointed over to one of the stalls, which had relatively few people walking over to it, in spite of the stall-runner's insistent urgings and offers. <b>"For me to achieve my goal, I need money. A good way to earn money is to solve a person's problems."</b> He winked to the lady next to him, then calmly started heading over to the stalls.<br>
<br>
On the way over, he continued looking around, but still listened and carefully considered her question. He looked over to her now and then as he responded, bearing a cautious expression. <b>"That would be one way to achieve my goals. Seeing as you're looking for a spot here, I'll see what I can do to get you one."</b> Despite how crowded it was, and despite how relaxed their pace was, they managed to get their way over to the stall pretty quickly. The stall was positioned at the edge of a row, and was set up as a food-production stand. There was a small grill on one side, and a display case on the other side. Behind the stall were two tables, evidently set up with ingredients positioned for ready use. The product that was being sold was a spiced stick of skewered meat. However, there was a odd smell to the meat.<br>
<br>
Once they got there, the orc behind the stall called out to them, saying, <b>"Ahh! Good man and lady, please buy my meat sticks! They are very good! You'll enjoy them!"</b><br>
<br>
The fellow smirked at the orc's invitation, and walked up to the stall. There was plenty of space there, especially since the other fair-goers seemed to be avoiding the place. Dan inspected a few parts of the stall, then looked over to the orc and asked, <b>"Hrm. Then please tell me about what you're selling and what its price is."</b><br>
<br>
The orc excitedly nodded, and gestured to the display case. Several skewers were positioned within it, with bugs flying around. The orc excitedly pulled one out, waving the flies away, and commented, <b>"Yes! I'm Bugg, and this is what I call 'Bugg Meat'. It is giant boar meat cooked to medium rarity, and is seasoned with dried aggaba grass and salt. Each skewer costs 25 Rykes!"</b><br>
<br>
The plain-clothed traveler nodded after hearing Bugg's explanation, then reached into his money pouch. <b>"Alright then, Bugg. I'll try one. But first, tell me about how business has been going for you today?"</b><br>
<br>
Bugg winced a little as he heard the suggestion. He looked around for a bit, then leaned in and whispered, <b>"I don't know why, but...not a lot of people come to my stall. I haven't been able to sell anything today."</b><br>
<br>
Dan nodded, smiling thoughtfully, then pulled out three coins from his money pouch, completely emptying it. He placed the coins on the counter and held out his hand. <b>"I see! Then I'll be your first, won't I? Give me your best, Bugg!"</b><br>
<br>
The orc happily accepted the money, then quickly went to work preparing some meat. He took one of the skewers from the display, waved a bunch of the bugs off, and placed it on the grill. As he turned it around, smoke rose and a sizzling sound could be heard from behind the counter. He rushed back to a table in the back, grabbed a small bowl of some powder or other, and rushed back over, sprinkling it over the meat as he turned it on the grill. After a bit more hurrying around, he finished the procedure and proudly presented it to Dan.<br>
<br>
Dan accepted the skewer while communicating his thanks, and inspected it for a few seconds. He smiled over to Rosanna and plucked one of the steaming-hot pieces of meat off of the skewer, then held the rest of the skewer out to her. He bounced the meat around in his hand for a bit as it cooled off, then cautiously took a bite. All the while, Bugg watched in eager anticipation.<br>
<br>
It was horrible. Somehow, the seasonings had all burned along with the exterior surface of the meat. The inside was chewy near the surface, and although the inside was cooked to 'medium rarity' like Bugg said, it felt gamy. But at the same time, there was a tanginess to the seasoning that went fairly well with it. Once Dan took a few bites and thoroughly pieced his thoughts together, he looked over to Rosanna, and asked, <b>"Well? Any thoughts?"</b> Bugg looked between the two of them with great anticipation as he awaited their review.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">There was something about a big city that just filled one with awe. From the towering stone walls to the grand gates, just the sheer size of the place was mind boggling, and Naya couldn't help gasping as she passed underneath the stone arch leading into the city. How the heck could someone build something that big? How did it stay standing? All these questions and more raced through the cat girl's head as the horse drawn cart rolled along. She bugged the driver over every little thing that came to mind and the dark haired woman calmly explained everything to her. Honestly most of what she said went over Naya's head, but there was one thing she was certain of. Her mom was smart.<br>
<br>
It didn't take long for them to reach the market square. Her mom got off and moved to start unloading boxes when a man from a neighboring stall noticed them. Well, one of them. "Good morning, Maya!" He called out, walking over to help her. "Got a lot to sell today?"<br>
<br>
"Good morning, Marcus." She replied with a smile, happily letting him take the load from her arms. "Just the usual amount. And you?"<br>
<br>
"I've got decent amount." Marcus bragged as he set the box down and moved to grab another one. "Business has been pretty good for me the last few weeks. I've made enough coin to buy a fancy dinner. Maybe you'd be interested in... huh?" He paused as he noticed a pair of large cat ears poking up over the crates, ones that were soon followed by a set of glaring eyes.<br>
<br>
"Mom? Who is this?" Naya asked, scrutinizing the man as she picked up a box of her own and hopped down off the cart. <br>
<br>
The man looked at her shocked, then back to Maya. "Mom?" He questioned. "You have a kid?"<br>
<br>
"Four of them." The dark haired woman answered much to the man's horror as she began setting up her stall. "Nayacel here is the oldest. Naya, this is Marcus. He's the smith we get most of our tools from." Oh, so this was the guy that kept giving them discounts. Clearly he had ulterior motives. Ones that her mom didn't seem to notice.<br>
<br>
"You're married?" Marcus exclaimed, not believing what he was hearing.<br>
<br>
"No no, not married." Maya answered to the man's relief. <br>
<br>
Marcus shot Naya a quick glare for what he viewed as an attempt to mislead him, one the neko returned because she had been, before he produced a small coin purse. "Say, It's the girl's first time in the city, right? Well the academy is hosting a festival right now. Why not let her go enjoy it?"<br>
<br>
Maya had to consider the offer. She had brought Naya along to help with work, but there wasn't so much that Maya couldn't do it on her own. I the end she decide to leave it up the girl in question. "What do you think, sweetie?"<br>
<br>
What did Naya think? She thought this was an obvious ploy to get her to leave the two of them alone. But if she to choose between being bored selling vegetables all day and going off to party? The answer was pretty obvious. "The festival sounds fun!" She chirped, hopping up and snatching the bag of money that was being dangled over her head. She turned to dash off before a thought came to mind. "Oh Mom, don't forget that Mum wanted a new pair of shears." Then she zipped away, but not before hearing Marcus question the statement.<br>
<br>
"Oh that's what the kids call my girlfriend."<br>
<br>
"Girlfriend!?"<br>
<br>
....<br>
<br>
It didn't take Naya long to find the academy. She just had to follow the stream of people heading the same direction and soon enough she found herself at the crowded gate of a large building. Inside she could see stalls and people preforming. She patiently waited in line for her turn. Well... Not that patiently. She was bouncing on her toes the entire time. But eventually she made it through the crowd and into the auxiliary courtyard. She stared in awe at all the various things around her, the jugglers, the food stalls, and especially the raised platform. This was going to be so much fun!</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center">Arthur Verg<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/20211114_093548-png.932035/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/869/869165-6a8832999b8e414b94986969435b8d3f.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="20211114_093548.png" title="20211114_093548.png" width="100" height="136" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Step by step, Arthur made his way to the city gates, wagons passed by him as he treaded his way there, one arm swinging to help him move faster. Being handicapped with only one arm was a rough start, considering he had a ghostly arm back at the forest where he ate that fairy to survive... The thought of it made his spine shiver, Arthur remembered what it sounded like when he chomped down at that fairy, the cries it let out, pleading for him to stop. <i>CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH.</i> Another death on his hands, not like he wasn't used to it, he had done much worst in his time before he was executed and woke up in this new world.<br>
<br>
Before God. Arthur's hand moved up to his shoulder, where his arm would have been, where it was blown off. The memories made it ache slightly. He had the sleeve wrapped in a knot, having to use his one hand and teeth to do so. Luckily he discarded the rags he did wake up in and found black leather clothes on a dead corpse along the way so he'd at least look somewhat proper, long sleeved with a stripe of dark orange on the seams of his clothing. His amber eyes looked up to the city before him, he could hear talk of the city as wagons drove pass him. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"><b>Ryken.</b> </span>" Arthur spoke under his breath. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">What a interesting looking city.</span></b> " Arthur told himself as he was able to pass through the gates, he could hear the whispers. The whispers of the dead around him, barely audible but they were there, he couldn't see them, not since he left that forest nor could his arm be conjured.<br>
<br>
Luckily before he left and lost control of these powers that are suppressed now, the spirit that did help him guided him here to Ryker, saying he could learn more at the academy to control and improve his powers. Arthur noticed the looks he was given from passerbys, was it because of his arm? Or his title? This was all new to the former hitman. He didn't know how this world worked but that wouldn't discourage him, Arthur wanted to learn more about this vast world.<br>
<br>
~~~<br>
<br>
After a lot of walking around and asking for directions, Arthur would find the academy, so many people crowding to get in it was pretty noticeable. Or should have been. The one armed man got into line while he still could before it got too crowded. Arthur could feel people bump and shove into him, into his arm that no longer existed, he hissed with pain as it was still sensitive and probably would still be for the rest of his days.<br>
<br>
Eventually after the pushing and shoving died down, Arthur took a deep breath, he wasn't who he used to be, he would have to get used to being a regular person again. Not someone who demanded respect or who was feared by his actions. As Arthur stood in line, next to him he noticed a very hyperactive... Cat girl? He wasn't exactly sure, this was all new to him.

-->Rosanna listened silently as the man talked, preferring to gather her thoughts first before commenting on anything he said. So he needed money to achieve his goal. That was completely understandable but the latter part of his sentence confused her. While it was true that one could earn money by resolving another's problems but at the festival? There didn't seem to be anyone visibly in distress so had Dan noticed something she hadn't? Like a curious duckling with its mother, she once again followed behind closely as they neared the stalls. Huh.. ? Her movement almost ceased to stop working the moment she heard what the man beside her said. It wasn't anything overly shocking but for her it definitely was. He'd actually try and help her with gaining admission to the academy? Despite herself, a smile full of joy appeared on her face. How kind of him, truly. From what she's seen so far, Dan had a good heart and head on his shoulders. Instantly she affirmed her decision to keep good relations with him. The future was endless so many things could happen, it wouldn't do her any harm to become friendly with someone who could have her back.<br>
<br>
As the party reached a food-selling stall that sold skewered meather with spice her eyes started to dart around. This was food from another world! But her interest quickly turned to ashes once an odd smell reached her nose. Hm.. was that coming from the meat? She tried her best to distract herself from <i>that </i>when the owner of the stall started talking to them. He was an orc. To be honest, orcs weren't that fascinating. Who in their right mind would be excited to see an orc of all things? Though she was careful not to let her prejudice show. The spacious area around this stall caught her attention. Why did it seem like this one specific stall was being <i>avoided</i> even though the festival was crowded? Those attentive eyes of hers fluttered back towards the meat. She was almost ninety percent sure that the meat had a role to play in this situation.<br>
<br>
At this point, she just let Dan do all the talking he was- Oh what in the seven hells.. were those bugs?!? The orc who had presented himself as Bugg's gestured to a display case with skewers in it. The thing is that bugs were flying around the meat. Even if this world's technology level was that of medieval Europe the people here wouldn't be dumb enough to eat something that quite literally had bugs on it. Right? Dan had asked the right question and Bugg gave an answer which should have been glaringly obvious to him. But what surprised Rosanna the most was the price. At present, she didn't understand much about this world like currency but 25 Rykes seriously sounded overpriced for something that was practically on par with filth! <br>
<br>
 Her expression twisted for a second when Dan gave her the rest of the disgusting skewer. Rosanna hadn't even tasted it yet but knew it would cause her to die for a second time. Would [god] be ashamed at the sheer stupidity of it? Still, since it was given to her by the man who would help her she braced herself and dove in for a bite. A revolting taste exploded in her mouth almost ending her prematurely. Words simply couldn't describe how she was feeling at that moment. She was somewhere between heaven and earth expect it was <i>not</i> a blissful experience.  Once swallowed and done away it, she turned to look at Dan around the same time he did. Her eyes told him all he needed to know. Kill me. When Bugg asked for their thoughts upon 'Bugg Meat' she spoke up for the first time since coming to the stall. <div class="bbcode-border" style="border: transparent; padding:0; display:inline; color: var(--color-2); font-weight:bold;;">"It's good and bad. Would you mind if I gave a few suggestions? I'm not telling you how to make your product but these are things I think would just increase the quality of Bugg Meat overall. First, let's start with the issue of the bugs. It's great that you have a theme with your name but having real bugs in your food drives away potential customers and I'm sure you know what no customers mean right? Try putting your skewers in an enclosed space or just really anything where bugs cant get onto the food. Secondly, you see how the seasoning is just burnt along the side like this? That isn't giving a very appealing image. Your food doesn't have to look beautiful but it having such a look could really dismay customers from trying your food. Perhaps try cooking at a moderate temperature. One where it's hot enough to actually cook your food but not hot enough to burn it black. Besides all the critic I have, I do also have to say you compliments. Despite it being burnt along the sides the seasoning was especially good. If you're bold enough to play around with new spices I'm pretty they'd taste great in your hands!"</div> As she spoke it was like something had activated. Like the flip of a switch, she transformed from a village girl into an experienced food critic. Her tone was of someone who knew what they were doing and gently passing on their knowledge to others. Yet it's funny because she knew close to nothing about cooking! All that she said was basic common knowledge from Earth so why did she sound like she knew what she was doing? There were definitely holes within her words that those who paid close attention and had high intelligence would notice but to those simple-minded with Chinatsu's experience as an actress and whatever the hell just happened, she seemed creditable.<br>
<br>
Slowly she turned towards Dan hoping she hadn't made a complete fool out of herself in his eyes.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">A man's voice started talking to Naya and her ears tilted his direction. Was she okay? What kind of a question was that? "Are you kidding? Why wouldn't it be exciting? It's a festival!" She bubbled. Living in a small town the parties were fairly small in scale, so something this size was exhilarating to her! But who was he, to be questioning the fun while standing in line to participate in said fun? Finally she looked towards him and examined him. He seemed pretty normal. Haggard, but normal... except for the fact that one of his arms was missing. Now that was weird. Surely there was a story behind it. But before she got to ask a window popped up in her view.<br>
<br>
Now this window wasn't anything new to Naya. She'd seen it hundreds of times. For as long as she could remember whenever she focused on something or someone she'd see it. It was strange, and her mom had warned her not to let other people know about it, but it was just another part of her life. Plus it was actually kind of helpful. She got to learn things from it. Like that his name was Arthur Verg, and that he was a murderer. <br>
<br>
Wait...<br>
<br>
Murderer.<br>
<br>
Naya's blood ran cold as she reread it. She had never seen anyone with that that title before but she knew full well what it meant. That he was dangerous. A killer. She took a step back from him. How had he even gotten in the city? "I-uh... I don't think I'm supposed to talk to you."</div>

<br>
As Rosanna spoke, Dan gently reclaimed the skewer from her. After all, her expression said volumes about what she thought of the 'Bugg Meat'.<br>
<br>
Bugg paid close attention to her response, and appeared rather thoughtful. He looked surprised and confused at her comments about the bugs, but looked intrigued after her comment about the burnt seasonings and the appearance of the food. Lastly, he looked rather proud after her comments about other spices.<br>
<br>
By the time Rosanna was done with her comments, Dan was already looking back over at Bugg and the various items within his stall. He did not say anything initially - rather, he still seemed to be nibbling on the meat, trying out different parts of it.<br>
<br>
When Rosanna finished her comments and looked over at Dan, Bugg nodded and replied, <b>"That was rather thoughtful of you, missy! Thank you very much. Although, I guess I should tell you about the bugs."</b> He gestured towards the little display case with the bugs flying around. <b>"I'm an Entomancer. I create and manipulate bugs. For the festival, I wanted to take advantage of aggaba grass and aggabot flies in order to tenderize gamy giant boar meat. I hunted and gathered the ingredients myself, so I know that they're good enough for sale, but...you're right, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. The meat and seasonings always end up burnt."</b><br>
<br>
Dan grinned after Bugg's comments. He then asked, <b>"Ah. Then how about your revenue? How much money have you made by selling your product so far?"</b><br>
<br>
Bugg looked surprised after seeing Dan's grin all of a sudden, but he calmly replied, <b>"Yesterday, I got a few people who were willing to try my food, so I've made 1050 Rykes so far."</b><br>
<br>
Dan nodded, then pointed at the grill. <b>"Then allow me to provide my assessment: The Bugg Meat is actually pretty tender, and the seasonings go well with it. But the smoke is ruining the flavor, and you're cooking the meat way too fast. Further, the dry seasonings burn far too easily, and that is ruining the flavor too. So, Rosanna is right - the flavor was ruined, and the appearance is horrible. The people who bought your food so far only did so out of pity."</b><br>
<br>
Bugg nodded, looking a bit disheartened. He scratched his chin a little as he contemplated Dan's words, but nodded, and asked, <b>"You're right...I hadn't considered that. I never really cooked anything on my own in the past."</b> He paused, then looked more hesitant, and added, <b>"But...I don't know how to change the cooking process."</b><br>
<br>
Dan then raised his head proudly. It seems like this was the moment he was waiting for. <b>"If you want, I could show you a better method to cook and season the meat, which will also make it more presentable. But I'm going to need you to pay me all your current revenue first."</b><br>
<br>
Bugg squinted at the fellow, but nodded. He looked skeptical. <b>"Sure. But what exactly are you going to do?"</b> He reached under the counter of the stall, drew out a bunch of coins, and placed them on the counter.<br>
<br>
Dan scooped the coins into his coin pouch, placed the skewer that he was holding down onto the counter, and then gestured back out towards the gate. <b>"I'll need to go over to one of the shops I saw on the way over to get you a few things. It'll take a minute. Maybe tell my friend here about Entomancy while I'm gone."</b><br>
<br>
Bugg agreed, then started enthusiastically talking about the details of entomancy with Rosanna as Dan started hurriedly walking away.<br>
<br>
...<br>
<br>
A minute or two later, Dan came rushing back over, holding a low-walled cast-iron pot with a container of oil in his arms. Bugg waved over to him enthusiastically as he returned. Dan then commented, <b>"Alright Bugg, help me get this thing up onto the grill. And move the oil bottle over to the back table."</b><br>
<br>
Bugg came out from behind the stall and helped Dan carry the stuff around back. Once the short pot was positioned on the grill and the oil was in the back, Dan started explaining the plan with Bugg. <b>"Alright Bugg. Here's the plan: You're going to mix the seasonings with the oil and mix it around a bunch, until it's a sort of slurry. Then add a bit more oil so it flows well."</b> He then pulled out a brush from his coin pouch and placed it on the table. He gestured to it. <b>"Use this brush to apply the flavored slurry to the meat while it's still on the skewer."</b> He then pointed over to the pot on the grill, and added, <b>"Then place the meat chunks into the pot and stir them around until they're cooked properly."</b><br>
<br>
Bugg looked impressed as he heard Dan's ideas. He nodded and added, <b>"I think I understand what you're going for. I'll try it real quick. Head back over there for a bit, I'll let you try it."</b><br>
<br>
Dan quickly headed back around to the front of the stall, back next to Rosanna. He then watched as Bugg started to cook, casually commenting to Rosanna, <b>"Well? Learn anything cool?"</b><br>
<br>
Bugg started by mixing up the oil and the seasoning that he had been using earlier. He made a sort of slurry out of it, mixing it with the end of a wooden spoon, then added a little bit more oil to thin the mixture down. He then took the small cup of the seasoning slurry and removed a skewer from the rack, painting the stuff on with the brush that Dan gave him. He then removed the meat from the skewer, plopping it down into the pot. He used the skewer to move the meat around in the pot as it sizzled away. While it was cooking, a mouth-watering aroma filled the air - a smell like bacon with citrusy maple syrup. After around a minute, he poked the meat back onto the skewer and offered it to Dan again. This time, rather than looking burned, the meat had a crispy texture to it, like it had been fried. It also smelled vaguely citrusy. <b>"Tell me what you think!"</b><br>
<br>
Dan smiled and accepted the skewer. Once again, he pulled off one of the meat chunks, then offered the rest of the skewer to Rosanna. He bounced the meat around in his hand for a bit to get it to cool off, then started nibbling on it. It was still a little bit overcooked, to be sure, but the seasoning carried through way better this time. Rather than tasting burnt, it tasted like a tangy, bitter, and salty chunk of fried pork. It was also much more tender this time, although the texture was still a bit gamy. Dan popped the rest of the meat chunk into his mouth and smiled over at Rosanna again while he chewed. Bugg looked over at her too, this time in great anticipation. <b>"Well? Any better?"</b> Dan mumbled, still chewing on his portion.<br>
<br>
...<br>
<br>
After saying their farewells to Bugg and sharing thanks with one another, Dan led Rosanna back over to the entrance of the festival grounds, and over to a grassy area that wasn't too crowded. Once they had some space to themselves again, he grinned over to her and reached into his money pouch. <b>"Not bad, huh?"</b> he commented, holding out the coins, <b>"We made 800 Rykes back there."</b> He then selected a bunch of the coins and held them out to her. <b>"Here's 200 for you. Now we can enjoy the festival, right?"</b><br>
<br>
Once she accepted the coins, he gestured back over to the stalls around the place. <b>"How about you pick one this time?"</b></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Arthur was taken aback by her happy and joyful attitude, over a festival of all things. Well people certainly had their own interests and he shouldn't judge. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Well, I suppose you're right. These events could be fun. </span></b>" Arthur commented with a chuckle, a small smile grew on his face away from the serious disheveled look that was on it previously. Verg was more used to quiet parts and not full blown festivals like this one, especially in his previous life, it wasn't like he never came out to these places. Only for work he did. <br>
<br>
Arthur noticed her eyes loom over to where his arm previous used to be, he remembered that night... The betrayal of his both his families. He could feel the pain in his arm again, it burned, his hand gently came up and gently pressed on it to try and stop the feeling, it was worst when he thought about it. He face twisted into slight pain and uncomfortability. Letting his stump go when it ended, his eyes moved back to the girl and he noticed her eying something, like she was reading something. <br>
<br>
Then her face contorted into fear and uncomfortability. Arthur's head tilted slightly as she took a step away from him. Did she know what he was? Her voice hinted with fear and her eyes showed the same emotion. Arthur stood there unfazed by her words and demeanor, not like it was surprising. " <b><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">What do you mean by that? </span></b>" Arthur asked in the same disheveled voice he asked previously. He wanted confirmation of what made her act this way, he had a couple theories already but wanted to try and narrow them down. <br>

"Well you see..." Naya said slowly as the line crept forwards. "...my mom told me..." Why was it moving so slow? "...not to talk to strangers..." Okay, almost there. "...and you seem like a really strange stranger..." The person in front of her moved and she could see her escape open up. "...soI'mgoingtogo!Bye!"

<br>
Right as the plain-clothed fellow turned to gesture towards the rest of the festival grounds, he noticed a lady with bestial features rushing towards him. He barely had enough time to blink as she slammed into him, sending him toppling to the ground. Luckily, he had already handed off the coins and released his belt pouch to his waist, so at least nothing was sent flying. He toppled gracelessly to the ground, landing with a thump. He groaned a little from the impact, which was worsened by the weight of the relatively short humanoid that had forced him to the ground.<br>
<br>
He was too surprised during the impact and fall to make any comment, and he lay on the ground for several seconds before finally regaining his composure. Once he did, he exclaimed his surprise. <b>"Hey now! Watch where you're going, please!"</b> He then cautiously tried to get the young lady disentangled from himself and went about trying to get back on his feet.<br>
<br>
Once he was back upright, he brushed himself off a bit and looked over to her. <b>"You in a rush? Or..."</b> After looking at her a bit closer, he raised an eyebrow, somewhat skeptical, but also a little concerned. <b>"...actually, you look a bit pale. Are you hurt?"</b> He looked past the lady, off in the direction that she seemed to have come from. The grassy field wasn't too crowded, so he was able to see a few people off in that direction. The one that stood out the most was a disheveled, sleep-deprived looking fellow with a missing arm.<br>
<br>
Dan stared at the fellow for several seconds, then narrowed his eyes and leaned towards the cat lady, whispering, <b>"It's him, right? The guy in the black leather? Did he threaten you or something?"</b></div>

<br>
The one armed man stared at this girl as she acted very strange, getting swept with the crowd as he took a step back to stay out of the crowd, explaining to him that he was a strange stranger and made her escape. Arthur stood there and watched her slowly leave. He sighed as he assumed this girl would get herself into trouble, she had the look on her. The naivety in her eyes, if only she knew. <br>
<br>
Following after the crowd Arthur was able to make his way through looking to his left to see the girl had ran into someone. Arthur almost chuckled at the sight as he came walking up " <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">Well, that's rather rude, running into folk like that, little girl.</span> " Arthur commented with a soft chuckle, he wanted to know why this girl was acting the way she was with him. His tired eyes looked up at the scrawny man who stared at him with narrowed eyes. Arthur's eyes met his, showing he wasn't one to back down even with a major hanicap such as one arm. " <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">You look like you want to say something.</span> " Arthur commented, with a hint of venom in his voice. <br>
<br>
His eyes moved to the pink haired woman that this man was talking to. " <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">Hello, ma'am.</span> " Arthur bowed a little, showing his politeness as his attention moved back to the girl. " <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">Excuse me, uh, cat girl, why are you acting so strange and running from me? You may end up running into the wrong people, these folk look like decent folk.</span> " Arthur explained.<br>

</div>The boy Naya ran into groaned. Naya groaned. They all groaned. It was a fun time. The boy untangled himself and Naya just sat on the ground dazed. She still wasn't quite sure what hit her, or rather what she hit. She was vaguely aware of someone talking to her. Asking her if she was hurt? She shook her head to clear her thoughts. "Hurt? No no! Well, maybe my pride..." she laughed nervously. Then the boy asked about the man from before, asking if he threatened her, and Naya shook her head again. "No. But he's a bad man! He's-"<br>
<br>
She didn't get to finish her statement before Arthur found her again, questioning why she was running. She let out an eep and scrambled to her feet. He was dead set on following her so he must not have anything good planned for her. She looked at the boy and girl, windows popping up for both of them. Dan and Rossana. They weren't very strong. Weaker than this Arthur guy. They needed to run! Or...<br>
<br>
Spinning around to face Arthur, Nayacel popped her claws out. "I...I don't know how you got in here but leave us alone!" She hissed, ears laid back and tail puffed up. If he was going to try anything it was better to have it happen somewhere public rather than secluded. Best case scenario he would be scared off.</div>

<br>
The man that Dan had referred to was already approaching by the time he leaned in and asked the cat girl about the source of her fears. Dan frowned as the fellow made a passive-aggressive comment toward him, and kept watching the fellow closely, but seemed to be focused on the cat girl's explanation.<br>


<div class="bbCodeSpoiler">
	<button type="button" class="bbCodeSpoiler-button button--longText button" data-xf-click="toggle" data-xf-init="tooltip" title="Click to reveal or hide spoiler"><span class="button-text">

	</span></button>
	<div class="bbCodeSpoiler-content">
		<div class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--spoiler">
			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">Evidently, there is some sort of misunderstanding going on here. This cat girl seems to think that the fellow is evil in some way, but also claims that he hasn't done anything threatening or mean to her. Perhaps she witnessed him doing something to someone else? Or maybe she knows him from somewhere? Sounds bothersome.</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div><br>
Dan's frown shifted to surprise as the guy then politely bowed and greeted the cat girl. Since he noticed the cat girl start to move quickly, he momentarily looked down at her, only to see her rising to her feet. He then quickly looked back at the approaching leather-clad fellow. As the fellow started talking, Dan corrected his posture and thoughtfully considered the fellow's words, inspecting his expression. After the cat girl started speaking, he glanced back over at her, and carefully inspected her as well.<br>


<div class="bbCodeSpoiler">
	<button type="button" class="bbCodeSpoiler-button button--longText button" data-xf-click="toggle" data-xf-init="tooltip" title="Click to reveal or hide spoiler"><span class="button-text">

	</span></button>
	<div class="bbCodeSpoiler-content">
		<div class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--spoiler">
			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">There are two oddities I noticed in what he just said. Firstly, he made it sound like he's familiar with her, but he doesn't seem to know her name. Secondly, his last comment sounds like a veiled threat followed by a quick correction to try and cover it up. After all, the expression he just directed at me counters the assertion that I am a decent person. This fellow is definitely trying to manipulate her, especially with that bow he just made...<br>
<br>
...But this girl genuinely seems to be afraid of him. She looks ready to brawl.</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div><br>
After the cat girl expressed her incredulity and provided a command, Dan glanced around. Evidently, several people were now paying attention to them from the safety of the crowded walkways. A few students in elegant uniforms seemed to be urgently moving towards them as well. Seeing this, Dan regained his composer, smiled, and gently grabbed the closest shoulder of the cat girl. <b>"This is a peaceful place. Let's not bare our claws here, alright?"</b> He tried to squeeze her shoulder a little, just enough to try and calm her down, and smiled warmly down to her.<br>
<br>
He then looked over at the other fellow - the one in leather - and looked more stern. <b>"As for you, explain yourself. Why are you following her around?"</b> He released the cat girl's shoulder, and gestured towards the pair of students who were now walking over to them along the field. <b>"You've already caused a scene, so more threats and antagonistic behavior won't go over well."</b></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="font-size: 26px"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">Arthur Verg</span></span></span><br>
<br>
Arthur stared at the cat girl as she explained that Arthur was a bad man while he walked up. <i>Well she wasn't wrong.</i> He thought, he had done a lot of atrocious acts in his past, things he could never forgive himself for and people would not forgive him for those acts. He thought back to the one of the first people he had murdered, commanded by his Don, he had to kill a man who owned a business that they controlled, turned out he ratted the family out. Arthur was told to take the man and force him to bury his own wife alive or he'd shoot his children. So the man did. Arthur was told to shoot the children but he couldn't. Not kids. So his partner did then the owner of the business. Arthur was pretty scarred by that, but that was how his world worked. He had to have been 16 at the time. <br>
<br>
Now being brought back to reality, Arthur took a deep breath when this girl said he was a bad man. " <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">Well. I can't say you're not wrong.</span> " Arthur commented while he shrugged his shoulders. " <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">Most people are bad people. </span>" His voice sounded dead, he <i>looked</i> like death. The cat girl turned around to face him looking skittish with her claws out while trying to act vicious. Arthur's demeanor and face didn't change for a couple moments. <br>
<br>
But then his lips turned into a smile and he began to laugh now, he was caught off guard by this girl, trying to intimidate him and show her claws. After a few seconds of Arthur laughing, he wiped a tear from his tired eyes as he calmed down. " <i><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">Whoo.</span></i><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"> That was a good one there, cat girl, you had me for a moment there.</span> " Arthur's lips went from a smile to the scowl he had previously. " <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">Please.</span> " he didn't sound impressed now, quite serious actually. " <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">I'm trying to hurt you. Obviously I'm in no condition <i>to</i> hurt you. If my missing arm wasn't a telltale sign.</span> " <br>
<br>
Arthur's amber eyes moved to the scrawny boy in some plain looking clothes with a cloak on once he asked why he was following her and that <i>he</i> was causing a scene, Arthur hadn't done a thing was already being blamed. For his looks most likely, he knew he looked tired and mean. And this girl flipping out was not helping his position either. "<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"> I differ, scrawny.</span> " Arthur commented as he stared at him. " <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">This cat girl says I am a bad man. She's looks scared and I gave no indication of that and merely asked her a question as to why she thought I was a bad man. While she is the one scrambling away.</span> " Arthur explained while his eyes moved to the girl, he could hear students approaching them but he cared not for them. <br>
<br>
"<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"> I walked through the gate, thats how I got here. But let me ask or more like breakdown for you. You seemed like you were reading something back there but I could not see anything. Interesting don't you think? </span>" Arthur swiped his hand in front of him for his screen to appear. " <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">You able to see who people are, Mayacel Ker'rosam?</span> " Arthur asked her then his eyes moved to the other two. " <span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">Dan Swift and Rosanna Payne.</span> " Arthur finished. <br>

Clutching the fresh wound on his side, he winced with every step, but still kept a jolly attitude. He was never able to enjoy such festivities in his old world, so even through the pain, Alek took all the sights and surroundings in. Sighing as he pulled his hand away from his wound and found part of it stained dark red, the wound bleeding through the bandage, he shook his head as he remembered that he'd received countless worse injuries than this in his past life.<br>
<br>
He didn't like showing off much, but he knew that if he wanted to increase his skills in combat in this new form, he'd have to work at every opportunity he got. So he had been away at a few sparring matches. Still feeling confident from the few civilians he'd defeated in the first matches, Alek took a few moments to muse once again over the man who had so easily subdued and defeated him. A formidable knight, both tough, strong, and vengeful. It was no surprise Alek had gotten such a large wound from the knight's strike, even in a sparring match. But fortunately the wound wasn't too serious.<br>
<br>
Alek placed his winter coat back over his shoulders in hopes of covering up the wound, but also warming up a bit more since the exercise from the matches had nearly worn off by now. He still had a few Rykes left over from his designated spending money at the festival, he didn't want to waste much of the money he made back in the fighting matches and other competitions he had participated in over the day. Feeling a growl in his stomach, Alek picked up the scent of fresh cooked meat, and his mouth watered as he moved over towards the smoky and earthy smell.<br>
<br>
What Alek found when he got to the source of the smell was not what he was expecting... a crowd had built up around the skewer station, and was slowly devolving into argument. Feeling a bit uneasy, he pushed past them, and talked to the orc running the food station, as he paid for a few boar skewers. Finally looking towards the others after he paid for and began to take a few bites out of the skewers, he stood in between all of them. <span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)"><b>"Hey, can you leave each other alone?"</b></span> Alek spoke up. <span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)"><b>"We're all just trying to enjoy our time here, aren't we?"</b></span><br>

Arthur laughed and Naya's fur bristled. He thought this was funny? She would fight him. She let out a growl but paused when a hand was placed on her shoulder. Dan was right, this was supposed to be a peaceful place, and her baring claws at a one armed man didn't look good on her part so she withdrew them. Still she didn't believe for a second he wasn't dangerous. "If you knew I was scared why would you keep following?" She exclaimed, ears remaining folded back. "Like that would make me feel any better!"<br>
<br>
Then the one-armed man began picking her apart and Naya's face went pale once more. He had figured that out from her reading the window? Wait... but wouldn't that mean that he'd have to know what she was looking at? He then swiped the air and said their names and Naya's eyes went wide. Did he...Did he have the same ability as her? If so that was even worse. "Yeah I can see that! I also know what you are!" She hissed again.<br>
<br>
Someone else stepped in, a boy with a sword, and asked that they leave each other alone. Naya couldn't agree more. That was all she wanted in the first place. "Yeah! Go away!"</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-characters.504269/post-11167184" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-characters.504269%2Fpost-11167184&amp;hash=d63205ff803f7ea79101feba362a3bc4">Dan, the Thoughtful, Plain-Clothed Traveler</a><br>
<br>
Dan's stern look shifted to perplexment as the fellow looked his way and said something about 'differ' and 'scrawny'. His next batch of garbled words didn't bring much additional clarity. He sighed as he thought, analyzing the leather-man's words as he spoke them. Towards the end of his comments, Dan had a look of realization, and his expression shifted to more of a neutral look. While the cat girl pointed out a possible inconsistency in his motives, he thought a bit more.<br>


<div class="bbCodeSpoiler">
	<button type="button" class="bbCodeSpoiler-button button--longText button" data-xf-click="toggle" data-xf-init="tooltip" title="Click to reveal or hide spoiler"><span class="button-text">

		<span>Spoiler: <span class="bbCodeSpoiler-button-title">Thoughts of a Plain-Clothed Traveler</span></span>
	</span></button>
	<div class="bbCodeSpoiler-content">
		<div class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--spoiler">
			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">He's definitely trying to insult me by calling me scrawny. He also has an odd mix of complex vocabulary and poor grammar, so he has to be a relatively intelligent foreigner. But his clothes look like they're in terrible condition, and if he's using his arm as an excuse, it's got to be a new injury. Why is he being so confrontational, and why is he so upset that the cat girl thought he was 'bad'? She is clearly not the one who gave him the injury...Ah! That must mean that he feels guilty about something, and is trying to figure out whether she knows about what he feels guilty about.<br>
<br>
And, she's right. Even if we take him at his word, he's either lying or he's irrational. Knowingly following someone that is fleeing from you is an admission of hostile intent. I'll have to press him on that if I want to settle this issue.</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div><br>
Once the fellow looked over to the catgirl and started mentioning how he entered the city, Dan cringed. He watched the fellow muse about the cat girl appearing to be reading something, then make a strange gesture and mention a few phrases that were presumably their names. Dan raised an eyebrow, looking unimpressed. <b>"That's your excuse for knowingly stalking a frightened girl? What in all of Ryke is wrong with you? Are you sane?"</b> Dan then raised his voice, looking around to the crowd as he announced, <b>"Not only did he just admit that he is knowingly chasing after this girl despite her insistence that he leave her alone, he's trying to assert that she cast a spell on him. With her bare hands!"</b><br>
<br>
At that point one of the guys from the crowd, who was holding some skewers of improved Bugg Meat, raced over, stopping right between the two parties, and started philosophizing. Dan cringed in annoyance for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure after the cat girl agreed with the fellow, and added, <b>"This fellow is right. Has this poor girl not suffered enough at this man's whims? How could anyone enjoy a festival with a man like him following them around?"</b><br>
<br>
At that point, the two students who had stood off to the side stepped closer. They more bulky one raised his hands and asserted, <b>"Alright, alright, enough of this."</b> He pointed over to the guy in leather as the guy next to him forcefully moved the guy with the Bugg Meat and the plain-clothed traveler away. <b>"Is what that man said true? Were you following her because you thought she cast a spell on you?"</b> After hearing the man's response, he nodded and quickly gestured over to the cat girl. <b>"And you, did you cast a spell on him? Are you pretending to be frightened just to avoid getting caught?"</b><br>
<br>
After receiving their comments, once the other student he was with returned to his side, he scratched his chin, thinking for a bit. After being escorted away by one of the students, Dan watched the rest of the exchange with an intrigued grin.</div>

<br>
The one armed man now knew the situation got out of hand when a new person arrived. His eyes looked at this one when they got in the middle of them, holding skewers with food on them. Saying something along the lines of leaving each other alone and just enjoying themselves. Arthur had half a mind to take a skewer and stab him in his eye with it, who was this guy? " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">You know who this one is? Ah. Doesn't matter. Shove off, will you?</span> " Arthur sighed of annoyance now. Whatever he would say would not matter, everyone was against him.<br>
<br>
Arthur stared at each of these people, their disapproval looks. What had he even done? Then the scrawny man spoke again. Insisting he stalked Maya and they could not enjoy the festival. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Stalking?</span> " Arthur looked almost shocked before his demeanor changed to angry. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">You know nothing of stalking, buddy.</span> " Arthur had definitely stalked people to end their life, his one hand clenched into a fist, he had half a mind to beat this man into the dirt and make sure he can never see again, eye gouging was easier than people thought! No... Arthur knew he was getting angry and took a deep breath to calm himself. He was a bad man, after all. Of course coming into this world there'd be problems. Then again, maybe he should make sure this man never walk again, he was thinking as he unclenched his fist. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">When did I state she casted a spell?</span> " Arthur stared at the fool.<br>
<br>
Arthur scoffed at what Dan was doing, crowd support, eh? Opinion of the mass? No. Arthur was better than that. But he had half a mind to break his legs to make sure he never walk again... Then students got involved. Arthur sighed deeply with annoyance now, this <i>really</i> got out of hand. The stupidity of it all. Arthur looked at the student who asked if he was casted a spell upon. Which to the one armed arm shook his head. This was ridiculous... But, Arthur had a trick up his sleeve. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Look, sir. I was merely asking directions to where I could find one to talk to about attending the academy. But when I asked that, they began to berate me and say I was following this girl, trying to ruin my chances of joining.</span> " Arthur explained. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">I'm very tired and have been walking for a few days now just to try and enjoy myself at the festival for a little bit before I talk to someone as pristine and untarnished, such as yourself. I'd rather not be called a stalker and be treated so rudely. I couldn't hurt a fly in my...</span> "<br>
<br>
Arthur looked away and looked like he wanted to cry. He cleared his throat and took a deep breath. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Unfortunate condition. I thought I'd be treated better here of all places. I've heard so much of this city of Ryken. </span>" Arthur placed a hand on his own shoulder where his missing arm was at. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">I guess they like to berate cripples. And think them as stalkers.</span> "<br>

Two students joined the confrontation and attempted to mediate. They questioned about a spell and Naya was genuinely confused. "Spell? What spell? I don't know any magic." Why were they talking about spells?<br>
<br>
Then Arthur began talking and Naya's jaw dropped. What the hell? He was twisting things! "You never asked about that!" She exclaimed "You just kept questioning why I didn't want to talk to you! You don't want to be treated like a stalker don't follow people that don't want to talk to you!"</div>

<br>
As the two gave their statements, the two fellows in the school uniforms watched. The student who pushed Dan and the other fellow back seemed to be looking at the one-armed man's forehead as he was speaking, then shifted his gaze over to the forehead of the cat girl as she exclaimed her disagreement. He then leaned over and whispered into the ear of the student who had spoken to them earler.<br>
<br>
Once their statements were made, the thoughtful guy clapped his hands, looking stern. <b>"Alright, that's enough, both of you."</b> He gestured next to himself, to the other student who whispered into his ear. <b>"This here's Kyle Aethwright. He has mental powers. While you were giving your testimonies, he was reading your thoughts."</b> He gestures to the cat girl and looked over at the one-armed man, adding, <b>"He discerned that she genuinely believes that she can't use spells, and that she has reason to believe that you might kill her,"</b> he then gestured toward the one-armed man, adding, <b>"and that you thought of us as fools to be tricked."</b><br>
<br>
He then crossed his arms, glaring at the one-armed man. <b>"But even ignoring that, you're intolerable. You keep making excuses for absurd behavior and insulting other people. Our job is to keep our honorable campus free of misbehaving cretins such as yourself. So, if you vow to never verbally berate others and to leave people alone when they ask you to do so, at least until you leave the fairgrounds, I will permit you to stay. Otherwise, I will be escorting you to the guards."</b> As he made his last comment, he glanced over to the catgirl. <b>"As for you, be warned that violence outside of the combat area is not permitted. As long as you understand that, you are free to go."</b><br>
<br>
He then aggressively stepped towards the one-armed man and moved his hands down to his hips. One of his hands brushed past a mace that was hanging from a ring set into his belt. He continued shooting the one-armed man a stern glare. <b>"Now then, repeat after me: 'I vow, under the power of the royal family of Ryke, that I...'"</b> The other student stood at a distance, staring at the one-armed man's forehead, with his hand at his waist, resting against a pouch of sorts.<br>
<br>
There was still a small group of people gathered a few dozen feet around them as the student in the fancy uniform approached the one-armed man. Some of them seemed to be expecting a fight to break out. But a good portion of the people decided to leave. Dan took the opportunity to head over to the catgirl, once she made her way away from the scene. He waved to her and quickly commented, <b>"Sorry you had to deal with that. Are you okay?"</b> After her response, he smiled and held out his hand. <b>"I'm Dan, by the way."</b><br>
<br>
After some brief introductions, he looked around. After failing to see whatever or whoever he was looking for, he sighed, then asked her, <b>"If you want, I could keep you company here. I lost the other person I was with, after all."</b> He then leaned in a bit and whispered, <b>"I'm trying to get into the academy, so if you help, I'll try to get you in as well."</b> He then pulled back, standing upright again, and added, <b>"Besides, fairs are best enjoyed with others, right?"</b> He grinned warmly with the last comment.</div>

The one armed man seemed pretty sure of himself, he was a good liar back home and knew who to deceive people. He did it for a long time while siphoning money from his gangster family. Deceiving <i>school children</i> shouldn't be too difficult. But upon this Kyle character being introduced, Arthur kept playing the role of the defeated and berated handicapped man. Until the words mental powers left the lips of one of the academy members, Arthur's eyes widen for a moment and he knew he had been found out. Standing straight up now and changed his whole demeanor. He knew he was about to be found out, guess it was different here than back home. His memories and thought couldn't be known back home, but here it was possible. Arthur knew what he would invest in next after he was able to get his arm and vision. <br>
<br>
Arthur looked annoyed the entire time he was spoken to by the student, wishing he had both arms so he could strangle- no. He was different now, he wasn't a part of the family anymore. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Fine. I swear not act like a 'cretin.' As you stated.</span> " Arthur quoted the word with only his one hand, using his index and middle finger to quote the word. While unhappy, Arthur did repeat the vow they made him recite. Giving the student the same glare back as he recited it, feeling like he didn't really do anything wrong. <br>
<br>
Afterwards and when people finally left and he was alone, Arthur let out a long and frustrated sigh, it hadn't even been two minutes, literally, and he was already getting into trouble. Arthur shook his head looking at his arm that no longer existed, it bothered him immensely how he came to this world without it. His anger was boiling and he wanted to destroy and kill! It was so easy to do so!... not in his control though. But Arthur took a long and deep breath then exhaled, there was no point in creating more trouble, he had a mission he needed to complete. <br>
<br>
Feeling like he maybe he was in the wrong and not realizing it until just now, he turned to see that Dan with the cat girl Naya. Maybe he should apologize, if he wanted to change he had to do what he wouldn't normally do. Which was be the bigger person and better man. And this would be very difficult for Arthur, he wasn't the best with expressing his feelings and showing his softer side. He was good at being a prick since that's what he grew up around, and good with how to rid of a person and the best way to hurt a person... And how to get information out of a man. <br>
<br>
Arthur sighed and began walking his way over to the two, " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Hold on a moment. </span>" Arthur called, holding one hand up to show he was unarmed and wasn't going to do anything. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">I should start off by saying... </span>" Arthur sighed. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Okay... This is harder than I thought.</span> " he muttered to himself looking away then looked back to the two. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Alright... I wanna start off by saying I am sorry for causing any stress, harm, irritation, or fear.</span> " His eyes moved to Naya next. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">It was not my intention to make you feel uncomfortable and I was and am NOT going to hurt you. You're right though. I am not a good man, I've done many a terrible deeds, but I am trying to change. </span>" Arthur admitted. <br>
<br>
Looking to Dan, " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">And Dan. I'm sorry for insulting you. I am only trying to join the academy and wasn't trying to make trouble for any of you.</span> " Arthur looked at the two, feeling a bit better now. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">That wasn't so bad.</span> " he said to himself. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Well don't mind me, you two have a good day or whatever people say.</span> " Arthur then departed walking away from them, thinking of how he could get into thr academy.</div>

Arthur began reciting the oath and the crowd dispersed, Naya included. She really did not want to stick around after all of this. Before she got too far though the boy she had ran into caught up to her, asking if she was okay. "Yep." She answered with a sigh. "Just glad that's over." Dan offered his hand and she took it, returning his smile. "Nayacel. But feel free to call me Naya."<br>
<br>
It seemed she had spoken a little to soon about things being done as Arthur called out to them. She turned, ears laid flat, ready to tell him off, when he started apologizing. Naya tilted her head, a little surprised by what she was hearing. Was this the same guy who was demanding information out of her earlier? "Oh...well... I might have overreacted a little." She admitted, rubbing the back of her head. She was weak to straight forward apologies and, now that he wasn't being creepy he didn't seem like all that bad a guy. "Hey, um, you might want to take care of that title before trying to join. You're not even supposed to be in the city with that."<br>
<br>
Arthur walked off and Naya turned back to Dan. "Well that was a thing." She commented. Dan mentioned staying together and joining the academy and Naya tilted an ear. "Hm... I don't know about joining the academy. I don't think I'm smart enough. But sure! I'll help if I can!" She chirped.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-characters.504269/post-11167184" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-characters.504269%2Fpost-11167184&amp;hash=d63205ff803f7ea79101feba362a3bc4">Dan, the Thoughtful, Plain-Clothed Traveler</a><br>
<br>
After Dan heard the one-armed guy call out to him and the girl he was talking to, the smile dropped from his face. He turned over to the fellow with an eyebrow raised, but patiently waited to hear what the fellow had to say. He raised an eyebrow about the fellow's comments about how he was trying to change, but nodded along as the guy apologized. Dan smirked after the fellow's rather uncertain farewell, and looked over at Naya quizzically as she tried to warn him about a title. Thereafter, as the guy turned to leave, Dan called out, <b>"Farewell!"</b><br>
<br>
Dan turned back to look at Naya once she started speaking to him. He chuckled after her comment, and nodded. <b>"Definitely a foreigner. There're some strange people out there."</b> Once Naya mentioned her doubts about joining the academy, Eric frowned a little in thought. He seemed reassured by her enthusiasm about helping though. <b>"As long as you want me to, I'll give you an opportunity. Whether or not it works out is up to you."</b><br>
<br>
With that, he started leading her around the festival grounds. There truly were a lot of different stalls. Some of the students set up games with little prizes, whereas other students were selling food or handicrafts. Some of the students were selling fairly high-grade equipment, such as magic catalysts and potions. Dan looked like he was very impressed as he walked around. Every now and then, he'd lead Naya over to one of the stands and pay for a chance to throw a rock at a target, or he'd buy some food that looked good. At other times, Naya would do the same to him.<br>
<br>
After an hour or two of this back and forth, Dan eventually set his eyes on a stall where several people were gathered around. The people who were gathered in front of the stall seemed to be looking on towards a person who was seated in front of the stall. The person was biting at his nails while the student behind the stall confidently placed a game piece onto one of the colored squares of the board that was between them. The guy in front of the stall then sighed and hung his head. <b>"Damn...I lost."</b> <br>
<br>
With his admission of defeat, everyone around him groans, and the student cackles with a sort of prideful laughter. <b>"Hahaha! As I said, I'm unbeatable! It doesn't matter what challenge you pose. Now pay up!"</b><br>
<br>
The guy sighs and hands over a few coins, then rises from the stool and walks away, looking frustrated. The guy behind the stall looks around at the other people, grinning mischievously, and comments, <b>"Well? Any other foolish ones want to challenge me? You stand much to gain, if you think you can beat me."</b> He gestured up at the sign above the stall, then flomboyantly drew a lock of his blonde hair away from his smug face. Dan glanced up to see what was on it. <br>
<br>
"The Undefeatable Gamer! Challenge Me to Any Game! If you win, 5000 Rykes! 100 Rykes per try."<br>
<br>
Dan then raised an eyebrow. He leaned in towards Naya and commented, <b>"This one looks a bit different from the others. Let's ask around for a bit and see what's going on here."</b> He walked up to a few of the people in the group of onlookers as someone else took a seat on the stool, and asked them what was going on at this stall.<br>
<br>
The first guy Dan spoke to said, <b>"Huh? Oh, the student there says that he'll pay anyone who can beat him at a game of their choice five thousand Rykes...but, no one has beaten him all day. He's really annoying though, so we've been trying to find someone who can put him in his place."</b><br>
<br>
The next guy responded, <b>"The student said his name was...Flavian Ilisidoor? I think he's a noble of some sort, but that he didn't even know how to play War Squares earlier this morning, could you believe it? But even after he was taught the basics, he still managed to win!"</b><br>
<br>
The third guy Dan asked added, <b>"A friend of mine challenged him to a game of cards, but he told me that it was as if that student knew exactly what cards he had every round. But he doesn't seem to have an accomplice in the crowd, so we're not sure how he does it! He's definitely cheating though! I'll catch him for sure, just you wait."</b><br>
<br>
Dan frowned after hearing their comments, and headed back over to Naya, keeping out of earshot of the guy behind the stand. <b>"So what did you discover? It sounds  to me like everyone thinks he's cheating, but they can't figure out how he's cheating."</b></div>

The one armed man walked away from the two he had antagonized just minutes ago, feeling good about his apology soon forgot about it. He walked on around the festival enjoying the festivities and his new surroundings, it was strange really... He wouldn't normally be doing this sort of thing alone, he usually had a couple of his buddies with him to stay safe, and now he didn't even have two arms. It was frustrating to him.<br>
<br>
He let out a choked angry sigh, he missed his family, both of them, one he betrayed and the other that betrayed him... This was a great place to run a rigged game at, if you could get a small group of your buddies, five at the least, set a table up with one playing cards, the other four would the crowd. Rule is NEVER go near that table, if you play, you'll lose. Guaranteed. If you are standing in the crowd, you wouldn't even know it but you'll get your wallet stolen, being involved in any capacity will make you lose all your money. <br>
<br>
Just as Arthur was thinking of the ploys he and his previous gang used to pull, he came across a stand where some guy was doing what he was doing, ripping people off out of their money. Arthur's eyes scanned the stand seeing that it pay a 100, possiblely win 5000. Most likely this guy has made more than 5000 already, if he's been doing this all day. Staying away from the crowd, Arthur stood and observed from a distance, he wanted to see what was exactly happening. This was a different world from his, there could have been a possible way to win, to see how this man was cheating. The frustration of everyone that was surrounding the table wanting this man to lose didn't really make Arthur believe they weren't in on the scam. <br>
<br>
But this was a student of the academy, by his getup. They'd most likely try to keep the money for themselves, the less people in on a scam the lower the chances of getting snitched on. The former gangster smirked a little, this reminded him of old times. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Good times...</span> " he mumbled under his breath, reminiscing. But this wasn't the time to be thinking of his people, this has probably gone on long enough, these people needed to stop falling for this scam. Arthur stood to the side of observed, waiting to see any sort of suspicious activity, having a clear view of everyone at the table.<br>
<br>
The dealer. The player. The people surrounding the table. He observed every one of them to see who was involved or not. The dealer could be using mind magic too, the last student used his powers on him. Why wouldn't this one be doing that.</div>

Naya met back up with Dan after talking to a few people and shook her head. "That's about what I got too." She admitted, shrugging her shoulders. "I did get his name if that helps. Ilisdoor." She sighed and watched as the latest challenger lost. "How could someone win <i>every</i> game? Even ones he's never played before? He's definitely cheating. But how?" Her tail waved back and forth as she was lost in thought. How could they find out what he was doing? It wasn't like they could just read his mind.<br>
<br>
Wait...<br>
<br>
Naya's ears popped up. "Hey! Didn't we just see a guy with mental powers? You don't think he's reading his opponent's mind, do you?"</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-characters.504269/post-11167184" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-characters.504269%2Fpost-11167184&amp;hash=d63205ff803f7ea79101feba362a3bc4">Dan, the Thoughtful, Rhetorical, Plain-Clothed Traveler</a><br>
<br>
Dan thoughtfully considered Naya's words as she responded to his query. He looked slightly disappointed as she discussed her findings, and smirked uncomfortably as the latest challenger announced his defeat and the guy behind the stand started bragging again. He looked back over at Naya as she stated her skepticism about the fellow's success rate and circumstances. Dan smugly responded, <b>"There are many questions like that in the world. Ones with no apparent answer. When encountering such questions, formulate a theory and a method to try and test it."</b> He then frowned, looking a bit annoyed. <b>"However, it's difficult for me to imagine what sort of theory to posit here...there are so many possibilities..."</b><br>
<br>
He looked surprised as she suddenly exclaimed her thoughts to him. He chuckled at her suggestions that he might be reading minds, and mumbled, <b>"Well, of course that's <i>possible</i>, but..."</b> he then stopped, appearing to have realized something. He thought for a few more moments, then smiled. <b>"Actually, you might be on to something Naya."</b> He then started to look around at the people near the stalls.<br>
<br>
The stall itself was located in the middle of a row, so it had two other stalls on either side of it, and people were constantly walking by in the middle area between the stalls on either side of the row, both pointed inwards. To either side of the 'challenge' stall were other game-related stalls, one of which was some sort of throwing game with custom-made wooden figures as prizes, and one of which was some sort of trivia challenge that promised a prize of 1000 Rykes to whoever answered all the questions right, or who did the best by the end of the day. As far as Dan looked, he couldn't see any other stalls with prizes anywhere near as high as the one from this challenge stall.<br>
<br>
As far as the people around were concerned, the stall didn't seem to catch much attention from most of the passersby. There seemed to be five or six adults who were gathered around to watch challengers, and to occasionally give it a shot themselves. Dan spotted the one-armed guy a bit further away, and he also spotted an older man with an unusual set of clothing and a particularly unusual-looking theatrical mask on. Compared to the other stalls, this stall had more people gathered around it at a given moment, but it didn't seem to be catching much of any attention from new people. Further, all of the people around the stand seemed to bear particularly hostile emotions towards the stall owner.<br>
<br>
Dan narrowed his eyes after looking around, and leaned back in towards Naya, speaking softly again. <b>"Let's go with the idea that he's reading minds. How would we prove that he is cheating if he was reading someone's mind?"</b> He paused for a bit to let her think, but evidently, his question was rhetorical. Before giving her the opportunity to respond, he continued, <b>"Given the constraints of the situation, we'd have to challenge him to a game where he'd only be able to win if he read the challenger's mind, right?"</b> He paused again to let it sink in, but frowned, looking back over at him, and continued, <b>"But that won't work here. The game has to be winnable without mind reading, otherwise I won't be able to win either. If I can't win, he won't bother cheating."</b> He then quickly added, <b>"And that's not the only problem with your theory. Watch, this guy might've been thinking along the same lines as you."</b><br>
<br>
He gestured to the newest challenger. The guy challenged the shop owner to a game of dice, with the dice being rolled out on the surface of the counter. Each side seemed to call a number, and whoever was closer to the final result for three out of five games won. But the guy won all three of the first three rounds, much to the challenger's chagrin. The challenger angrily demanded another game, and paid the fee again, but as the next game started, Dan leaned back down to Naya, continuing, <b>"It's as you can see. He is confident that he can win <i>any</i> game, including ones about random chance. You can't guarantee wins at those games with mind reading alone. So that theory is out. We'll need a new one."</b><br>
<br>
He then continued watching for a bit as several other attempts elapsed. One of the guys challenged the stall owner to a betting-style card game, but as the game went on, the challenger repeatedly lost even when he was dealt a better hand, and the stall owner always seemed to be able to call his bluffs. The guy ultimately lost the game as a whole after one last failed attempt to bluff his way into a victory. One of the ladies then challenged him to a complicated numbers game involving a game set with various squares and numbered tokens, which the stall owner didn't seem to know the rules of to start with. Once the game got started, it took around 10 minutes to get through. The stall owner seemed to be genuinely struggling at one point, based on his facial expressions, but ultimately turned the game around, causing the lady to look incredibly frustrated and to accept her defeat. The masked figure crossed his arms as the stall owner continued to arrogantly ask for more 'competent' challengers. Although his face was completely covered behind the theatre mask, the stranger's posture betrayed a sort of frustration as well. The people in the crowd were still growing more and more frustrated at the arrogance of the guy behind the counter.<br>
<br>
After the numbers game ended, Dan looked back over at Naya, and asked, <b>"Well? Have you thought of anything?"</b> he paused for a bit to see her expression, then leaned in towards her and quietly added, <b>"With the dice game, he seemed to always know what to guess, even though the challenger didn't. With the card game, he never seemed to be tricked by the challenger's tricks. But in the numbers game, he didn't seem to know everything that the challenger was going to do. What does that tell you?"</b> Despite how he worded his questions, his tone and expression betrayed his intent. He barely concealed a knowing smile as he looked over at her for a moment. The other people in the crowd leaned in and mumbled among one another, trying to figure out what to try next as the stall owner kept bragging about how amazing he was.</div>

<br>
Arthur smirked as watched the people get more craftier and craftier, trying any way to beat this man in his own set up. Any game that they <i>think</i> they could win in, they would lose. It seemed that they got close a couple times, frustration built on this obnoxious man's face. But he was quick to figure out the game and would win. Looked like no one was getting that 5000 Ryke anytime soon. His eyes scanned over the crowd to see the same people, a couple more joined while a couple had left. <br>
<br>
As he scanned he would notice that Dan man and Naya the cat girl. Seems they were watching too, this got Arthur to thinking, while they weren't on the best of terms, Arthur could use that money. Between the three of them, if they could win, they could split the money. That's about 1600 Rykes each. Could help him get by for a few days. <br>
<br>
He stood straight up and adjusted his clothing a bit, then he moved on around the crowd, making sure to stay away from it as he made his way over to where Dan and Naya were at, he walked pass the two before he stood next to Dan looking straight ahead. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">I see you two are watching this. You finding this entertaining with that smirk on your face?</span> " Arthur asked. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Believe me. I used to do things similar to this.</span> " Arthur stared at the crowding people. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Everyone wants to see this guy lose. But he won't. The more he keeps winning the more these people will throw their money at him so they can have a <i>chance</i> of beating him. The more money he will make. Basic stuff but smart. What have you noticed so far? </span>" Arthur asked. <br>

Naya thought long and hard about the question Dan posed to her. One of her ears tilted more and more the longer she thought about it. "Well... The only way you guess that accurately at a game of chance would be if you knew what the answer was going to be. But what does that have to do with the numbers game?" Her tail waved back and forth. Finally she sighed and her shoulders drooped. "I don't know man. I'm too much of a muscle brain for this."<br>
<br>
It was about this time that Arthur joined them and Naya jumped a little, having been too focused on the problem to notice him. "Oh! Hey!" She chirped, before diving into an explanation of what they'd learned so far, from his name to the fact that people were sure he was cheating. "I thought it might be mindreading, but it doesn't explain him winning games of chance."</div>

The others kept deliberating among themselves as they tried to think of a game that they could use to beat the cocky brat, all while said cocky brat kept bragging about how amazing his was and how he hasn't lost all day. Meanwhile, Dan listened to Naya. After her question about the number game, Dan raised a finger. <b>"If you don't understand, then maybe it would help if you thought about the games as fights?"</b> Dan looked a bit disappointed as she gave up. <b>"Even muscle-brains need to know how to think through problems, or else they'll get caught in the traps of scrawny guys like me."</b><br>
<br>
However, right after he said that, his gaze locked onto the one-armed guy from earlier approach. Dan raised his eyebrow as he saw the fellow, then commented, <b>"Ah, that guy is back."</b> He listened to the one-armed guy's take on the situation, and calmly assessed Naya's description. He looked impressed after she reached the end of her comments, then added, <b>"From what I observed so far, he seems to win without any effort at all on simple games and games of chance, and he struggles in the more complicated and strategic games."</b> He then leaned in to whisper to the two of them. <b>"So, if one of us challenges him to a race to solve a long and complicated puzzle, I wonder what will happen?"</b><br>
<br>
He then stood upright again, watching as one of the guys from the crowd of frustrated people challenged him to a new game, one involving cards. <b>"Sadly, I don't know many games, and I'm not sure I can come up with one on the spot like this...do either of you know of anything promising?"</b></div>

" <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">War is usually unpredictable, unless you know how to shuffle a deck in your favor.</span> " Arthur explained. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Highest card wins. Split the deck evenly, 26 for two people. If the same card is played, put 3 cards down and then you flip one more. Highest gets the whole pile. </span>" Arthur finished before he remembered one more game. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Last one is speed. Shuffle the deck, place 5 cards on two sides, 2 in the middle by themselves leaving 40 cards in the deck. Each player gets 20 on their side. Shuffle their deck. Objective is to get rid of your deck. Each player draws 5 and only can have 5 in their hand at one time. When each player is ready they flip the 2 cards face down over, then you play. You either go up or down. For example, if the card is a 4 you can go up 5, 6, 7 or down 3, 2, ace. Aces can go to kings and vice versa. But you can only pick up one card from your deck at a time and place one card down at a time. You can go as fast as possible.

" <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">What do you think of our odds on those games?</span> " Arthur asked.<br>
<br>
He was skilled at card games like this, growing up in the mafia, you have to be. It was one of the only times to unwind and hone your skills and play for money. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">But. That doesn't explain how he is winning each of these games. Mind reading is a way he learns each of these games quickly. </span>" <br>

Naya nodded along as the two talked. Since Dan had said to think of it like a fight she was trying to do just that. And it sort of made sense. The guy was good at reading his opponent's moves, but when it came to the fancy footwork he wasn't as quick. Okay, maybe it wasn't her best analogy. But it worked! She understood better! Kind of...<br>
<br>
She listened as Arthur explained his games and Naya's ears perked up at the last one. "Ooo! I like the sound of Speed! Simple but fast paced! Keeping you on your toes! Just how I like my fights!" She giggled, but then her ears drooped. "Oh, but I guess simple's not what we're looking for. Hm..." She went back to thinking, but all she could come up with were physical games, like mercy or tag, and somehow she didn't think those would fly. So she shrugged her shoulders. "I'm willing to give one of those a shot."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-characters.504269/post-11167184" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-characters.504269%2Fpost-11167184&amp;hash=d63205ff803f7ea79101feba362a3bc4">Dan, the Thoughtful, Plain-Clothed Traveler</a><br>
<br>
Dan listened closely as the one-armed guy explained three card games that he's familiar with. While the guy was explaining, yet another person challenged the arrogant stall owner to a game, this one being another card game - one which seemed to go on for a while, and which the stall owner seemed to be winning at pretty easily. There was a lot of chatter nearby, so the three had to speak up to continue hearing one another.<br>
<br>
Once the one-armed guy asked for thoughts, Dan looked over to Naya, who immediately communicated her excitement for the last game that the fellow mentioned, as well as her disappointment that it wasn't what Dan had specified. Dan then looked back at the one-armed guy and, still somewhat quietly, pointed out, <b>"Twenty One won't work. We already saw the guy easily win a card game that sounds similar. And, as Naya said, it sounds like it's a bunch of short games that don't have a speed component, which is not ideal."</b> He then thought a bit more, then quickly added, <b>"War sounds less like a game and more like a guessing game with a lot of intermediary steps. I doubt it would turn out any differently than the game of 'guessing the number to be rolled on this die', but it might be worth trying. If each game lasts a while, then it might be able to rule out prediction as a mechanism."</b> He then paused for another moment to think, his eyes moving about as if he were visualizing something, and he continued, <b>"Speed sounds the most promising. It is a game about reaching the end first with a combination of strategy and luck. Reading the opponent's mind would not matter, because it would not provide any advantage. That would also provide some useful information about our arrogant friend."</b><br>
<br>
Once the one-armed guy responded with his comment about the mystery behind how the stall owner was winning, Dan shook his head, looking frustrated. The guy in the theater mask seemed to hear the comment that the one-armed guy made, and turned his attention over to their group as Dan responded to it. <b>"We don't have enough information to figure that out yet, but we can infer that it has something to do with either prediction or decision. After all, it works with games of random chance. He has to either predict which outcome will occur, or he has to decide what event will occur." </b><br>
<br>
Once Naya spoke up about being willing to give a game a shot, Dan grinned. <b>"Well, we have three games that we've thought up, and two of them are promising. So, how about this:"</b> He reached into his coin purse and pulled out two small metal coins, holding them out to the one-armed guy. <b>"Here. Challenge him to War. Make sure you shuffle the deck in several ways. Arbitrarily put some cards in certain spots, then keep shuffling. If he's using some ability to subconsciously control how you're shuffling the deck, that should test the limits of that ability. Then, once you play the game, take it slow. Be really deliberative. Try to waste his time. Make the win condition to defeat you in 3 out of 5 games. If he's predicting the results, the limit on how far into the future he can 'see' should have an upper limit."</b> He looked over to Naya as he mentioned speed, and pulled out 2 more coins, offering them to her. <b>"If he loses, you can take a shot at it too. Your goal is to just win as fast as possible. Since it's your first time playing the game, don't worry about strategy at all. Your goal is to win the game so fast that whatever cheat he's using won't help him." </b><br>
<br>
Dan then gestured to himself, once the other two seemed to understand. <b>"As for me, I'll by using these 'tests' to try and figure out his power. If it goes the way I'm thinking it will, you'll both lose, but I should see something that'll clue me in on what he's doing to win."</b> He then grinned mischievously. <b>"So let's put him in his place, shall we?"</b><br>
<br>
As Dan made his comment, he looked over to the stall and his face returned to a more neutral expression. The theater mask guy also turned his attention back over to the stall. The guy who challenged the stall owner admitted defeat, gathered his cards, and started walking away, commenting about how "it's impossible". Dan then quickly moved up to the guy, interjecting, <b>"Hold on a second! Would you please lend me those cards? My friends want to take a shot at this challenge, but we don't have any playing cards with us."</b><br>
<br>
The guy behind the stall flipped his hair out of the way and chuckled haughtily as the guy with the cards handed them over to Dan. <b>"Oh my! More amateurs trying their luck."</b> He shot a smug grin over at Dan and the others as Dan handed the cards over to the one-armed guy. <b>"As long as you can afford the fee, I'll be happy to beat you commoners as many times as you like."</b> Dan shot him a business smile, replying, <b>"Please retain that enthusiasm for once you start getting beaten yourself. My friends and I will be claiming that prize, whether you like it or not."</b> [Used Inspiration (Rank F) on Arthur and Naya]</div>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/20211114_093548-png.937916/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/875/875046-6a8832999b8e414b94986969435b8d3f.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="20211114_093548.png" title="20211114_093548.png" width="100" height="136" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
The one-armed man listened to Dan and Naya talk, his eyes stared at the stall owner, he was staring into his soul. He was playing with people and their money. Using their frustration and anger to get the better of their money. His eyes looked to Dan when offered the cards and coin. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Gee. Thanks.</span> " At the mention of shuffling since he had one arm. But Arthur had a trick. Before the two his tied up sleeve where his arm originally would have been at disintegrated into nothingness. Then from almost as if it was out of thin air, a purple arm appeared in its place. Arthur smiled a little and squeezed his new hand. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">It feels real...</span> " His eyes looked up at the stall owner as Arthur tossed the two coins up into the air with his new ethereal arm. Walking through the crowd and tossing it on the table in a disrespectful manner. <br>
<br>
" <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">War.</span> " He sat down staring at the man. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Thats the game we will play.</span> " Arthur stated as he began to shuffle, using his new arm and hand to shuffle the cards, showing off his card skills by even shuffling in the air. And still having the deck assemble perfectly without a single card falling. After Arthur explained what War was. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">2 out of 3 games, whoever wins 2 games, wins. Simple enough right? Highest card wins. </span>" Arthur chuckled a little, he had a almost evil look in his eye. He wanted to gouge the man's eyes out just to end his little reign of terror but that wasn't who he was anymore. <br>
<br>
After separating the deck out between the two of them, they were ready. The two flipped over the first card of the deck, Arthur stared into the man's eyes without breaking eye contact. Back and forth the two went, one got two cards, the other got two cards. Both played the same card then placed 3 cards down and flipped the fourth for one of them to take the small pile which ended up in the stall owners favor and won him the first game. Arthur shrugged with a smile. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Beginners luck, as they say.</span> " He took the deck back and shuffled again, not breaking eye contact, he was almost staring aggressively, if looks could kill... Oooooh boy. <br>
<br>
Arthur got a little more serious the second game. Slammimg cards down, winning the small wars the two had in this card game. Time after time after time. Arthur easily won the second game, he took a deep breath as he reshuffled the deck. Looking at the owner with a smug smirk. Showing him he knew how to play cards in his favor. Then the final game... <br>
<br>
Arthur made sure to shuffle this one extra long to build suspense. It seemed more people had joined once they knew this would be the final game and it was tied. Arthur looked at the stall owner who looked nervous. Without breaking eye contact, the two went back and forth, back and forth. Boom boom boom boom boom. Cards slammed on the table, both were evenly matched. They were nearing the end of the decks and Arthur slowed down a bit, his eyes broke contact and he looked back at Dan and Naya. His amber eyes with what looked like bloodlust had stared at Naya. His head turned back to the stall owner and he smiled. Standing up, Arthur chuckled. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">I give up.</span> " he said having five cards left in his deck. This upset the crowd of course but Arthur placed his hands up. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Please. </span>" he called over the angry shouting before he then held his cards in his hand. <br>
<br>
" <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">As much as I'd love to stomp this guy in this game. I'd much rather watch this smug ass get beat by a little girl.</span> " Arthur looked to Naya for a moment where the crowd looked to, seeing Naya. Arthur flipped his cards on the table to reveal his final cards. All were kings and 1 Queen. He would have won, and Arthur looked smugged. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Since I bowed out. You won, good sir.</span> " Arthur said in a mocking manner. It was clear Arthur had stacked the cards but there was no way to prove he had. Arthur took the man's deck and flipped it showing the lowest suits, 2s and 3s. Taking the cards, Arthur began to shuffle them all up as he walked from the table towards the two he originally came back from. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Naya. Beat this man.</span> " Arthur handed her the deck with his purple ethereal arm. <br>

Naya watched Arthur's game with great interest, eyes darting back and forth between the two as their war progressed. She didn't fully understand what was going on, but she could tell that it was intense. When the man made eye contact with her though she felt a shiver run down her spine. Sure enough this guy was dangerous and she was glad that he was on their side. But then he forfeited. Naya was as appalled as the rest of the crowd, but when he stared at her again, drawing the crowd's attention to her, she realized what he was doing before he even showed the cards. It was a demoralizing tactic.<br>
<br>
With a grin she took the cards from Arthur. "Gladly." She said, taking his spot and tossing her two coins in. "Speed's the name of this game." She announced, attempting to shuffle the cards in the air like Arthur had but it just resulted in a mess on the table. "Oops!" She giggled nervously and recollected the cards, flipping them all the same direction once more. She then held the deck out to the stall owner. "Why don't you shuffle while I explain the rules?"<br>
<br>
She taught him how the game worked while he mixed the cards and once he was done she took the deck and began setting up. Two cards in the middle. Five on either side. All face down. She then took the remainder and split it in half, counting out twenty for each of them. She took her half and shuffled it once more, not trying anything fancy this time and going for a simple overhand shuffle. Then she drew her five cards. "Ready?" she asked, hand resting on one of the two in the middle.<br>
<br>
They flipped their cards and the game begun. They were evenly paced at first, both playing cards one after the other. It didn't take too long however before Naya was unable to play any cards and the stall owner was able to place several down. With each card he played the cat girl's ears laid down flatter, but eventually she saw a chance to slip a card in and the race was back on. She was behind, but if there was one thing she was confident in it was how fast she could play. Soon she caught up, playing two for every one he got.<br>
<br>
Twice they had to flip cards from the five stacks over when neither of them could play. Then they got down to the last few cards in their decks. Naya drew her last card and grinned. "Guess what?" She sang out before slamming her cards down in rapid succession. "Five four three two and ace!" She slammed her hands down on the table and leaped out of her chair, crying "SPEED!"</div>

<br>
Dan stood next to the other fellows in the crowd as the one-armed man approached the guy behind the stall. When the one-armed guy made his spectral arm appear, Dan smirked, but didn't say anything. The other fellows in the crowd "ooh"ed and "ahh"ed at the display of magic, and the guy behind the stall scoffed. <b>"At least I won't have to play the game for you, commoner."</b> the arrogant student said, leaning onto the table and swiping the coins as they were tossed his way. <b>"So then, what game shall I be beating you at?"</b><br>
<br>
At the mention of 'war', the fellow raised his eyebrow. <b>"Never heard of it. Explain."</b> He watched the cards being shuffled with an unamused look. The dexterity that the one-armed guy displayed with his shuffling was noteworthy, but it wasn't as flashy as the sort of tricks that professional gamblers were capable of. In spite of his arrogance, he listened very attentively as the game was explained to him. After the one-armed man explained the "best two out of three" rule, the blonde fellow snidely remarked, <b>"Of course! A simpleton's game needs a simpleton's explanation, after all."</b> He had a wicked smile on his face as he took in the one-armed guy's murderous glare, completely unphased.<br>
<br>
The stall owner seemed completely confident as he rapidly went through the first game. He rolled his eyes after the one-armed guy's comment about luck, and mumbled, <b>"More like your idiotic shuffling."</b> As the one-armed guy kept staring at him aggressively and started shuffling again, the blonde guy glared back. <b>"Changing it up, I see? I'll add a condition then: If you happen to win somehow, we'll play again and I'll be the dealer. If you still win with that idiotic strategy of yours, I'll accept defeat."</b><br>
<br>
The two of them argued for a bit, then they continued on. Dan nodded as he watched the exchange. He seemed to be focusing very intently on the blonde guy's face, especially as the guy went from the amusement of his win to anger as the one-armed guy started shuffling. Evidently, Dan noticed something that gave him a sort of confirmation, as he looked quite satisfied with whatever he was thinking about.<br>
<br>
As the next two games went on, the blonde guy sort of just went through the motions. As he lost the first game, he raised an eyebrow, looking annoyed, but unamused. The people in the crowd roared with excitement, since it was the first significant loss they had seen the guy go through all day. One of the guys rushed off to get a few other fellows nearby as the one-armed fellow started shuffling again. The crowd grew larger. The blonde guy looked around at the fellows in the crowd with feigned nervousness. <b>"Oh no. The stakes are <i>so</i> high. Whatever will I do?"</b><br>
<br>
As the next game went on, the blonde guy just went through the motions again. He did look genuinely confused at the beginning of the game as he saw the first few exchanges, but after a while, he lost interest again. As the game was nearing its close and the one-armed guy turned to look at Dan and Naya, the blonde guy commented, <b>"Well, hurry up now. Once we're done with this it's my turn to deal..."</b> Dan looked very intrigued, almost not even noticing the fellow's attention, and Naya flinched at the peculiar expression that was sent her way. The whole crowd was on edge, staring over to see what the resulting exchange would be.<br>
<br>
But then, the one-armed guy forfeited. The guy in the theater mask relaxed a little as the one-armed guy forfeited. Dan and Naya both looked very disappointed. The blonde cackled with laughter. <b>"Of course you would. After all, you'd never survive a game with a <i>real</i> dealer."</b> Most of the fellows in the crowd shot the one-armed guy a glare as he revealed his winning hand and whimsically announced his loss. The blonde fellow snarkily retorted, <b>"Then leave, commoner. I have better things to do than humor your farce."</b><br>
<br>
Dan watched as the one armed man and Naya approached one another and the deck changed hands. Some of the people in the audience started mumbling about what the comments about dealing were about. Some even started to mumbled about how the blonde guy might've been implying that the one-armed guy was cheating. The confused chatter quieted down as the catgirl approached the arrogant blonde fellow. He caught the coins that she tossed him and housed them in a cozy spot under the counter of his stand. He then sighed and asked, <b>"Alright then, <i>beastblood</i>, what're you going to embarrass yourself with today?"</b><br>
<br>
As she named the game and started attempting to shuffle, the cards spilled all over the table. But the blonde rolled his eyes, looking like he expected that. <b>"Could you please not waste my time? I only have so much patience for your type."</b> Once she made her apologetic comment and handed him the deck, he nodded and started shuffling the deck. He didn't seem to be doing it very elegantly, but his movements were simple, quick, and efficient. He got through around 16 repetitions before she finished her explanation. However, his expression gradually got more and more worried as she explained how the game worked. He gritted his teeth as she asked to set up the game. <b>"Fine. My magnificence isn't just limited to games of strategy and chance. I'll beat you at this game of 'speed' as well."</b><br>
<br>
Once the game was set up and she asked if he was ready, he focused and nodded. <b>"Of course, commoner. Hurry up."</b> With that, the game started. Everyone in the crowd paid close attention to this game - even moreso than the previous few. It seems that the one-armed guy did a good job at setting the stage for Naya. A few people in the crowd groaned in frustration as Naya ran out of things to do, since it seemed like the regular pattern of the blonde guy inevitably winning was bound to repeat itself.<br>
<br>
But then, in a stunning turnabout, Naya started playing again and the blonde guy's eye started twitching. He angrily glared over at her as he drew a few more cards. She was gaining momentum. The people who seemed to be losing interest looked all the more amazed by the shift. "Woah"s and "what?"s started spreading through the rather small crowd as Naya started turning the game around. The blonde guy was frantically drawing cards again as she played her second last card, then, as she announced her win, he gritted his teeth in rage.<br>
<br>
The crowd exploded in excitement, with lots of victorious comments of "hah! take that!" and "In your face!" and the like. The guy in the theater mask stroked the bottom of his mask, as if it were his chin, although his expression was veiled. Dan looked excited, but perplexed. Then, the blonde guy exploded. <b>"No! I cannot accept this, this is ridiculous!"</b> The guys in the crowd quieted down at the blonde fellow's outrage, and he continued, <b>"There's no way an amateur like you could win this game on your first try! You didn't even have a strategy!"</b><br>
<br>
Most of the fellows in the crowd looked confused, but Dan grinned proudly and stepped forward, pointing accusingly at the fellow. <b>"And how is that in any way relevant to your loss? It was your first time playing the game as well, Flavian."</b><br>
<br>
The blonde swatted the cards aside at the plain-clothed fellow's accusation. <b>"That's beside the point! She obviously cheated. I demand a rematch."</b><br>
<br>
Dan shook his finger and uttered a patronizing, <b>"No no no! You see, that's not how it works. You have to set up the rules <i>ahead</i> of time. You were the dealer this time, too."</b> He pointed up at the signboard of the blonde guy's stand. <b>"'Speed' is a game. You both agreed on that. You accepted her money. Unless you have some sort of convincing evidence that she somehow cheated even with <i>you</i> dealing the cards, it's her win."</b><br>
<br>
The blonde guy slammed his fist on the table, thinking, but seemingly not realizing anything of use. The crowd was starting to murmur at their rapid exchange. After a few moments, he suddenly realized something and his face contorted with rage. <b>"YOU SLEAZY COMMONER! YOU SET ME UP!"</b> The blonde guy was completely enraged, even shouting at this point. People from other stalls were looking over and starting to stare. <br>
<br>
Dan smirked, crossing his arms victoriously. <b>"So what? You lost. Pay her what she's owed...or I'll get the disciplinary committee involved. I'm pretty confident you know what I'm getting at."</b> His last threat seemed to give the blonde guy pause. <br>
<br>
But before he could retort again, the guy in the theatre mask stepped forward. <b>"That's enough."</b> The blonde-haired guy looked shocked as he heard the voice. The guy in the mask then removed the mask, revealing the face of an aged elvish man. He looked extremely disappointed. <b>"Flavian, what in the name of Ryke are you doing?"</b><br>
<br>
The blonde guy looks taken aback as he sees the face of the fellow who stepped forward. <b>"P-Professor Haliwyn? Wh-what're you doing here? I thought-"</b><br>
<br>
He was interrupted as the fellow gently pushed Naya out of the way and placed his hand down on the counter of the blonde fellow's stall, yelling, <b>"Ensuring that our glorious school's reputation isn't tarnished by incorrigible miscreants like yourself! Now silence yourself!"</b> He then quickly turned around and politely bowed to the people around, announcing, <b>"On behalf of the Imperial Logia Academy of Ryken, I sincerely apologize for the exceedingly dishonorable conduct of this student."</b> The blonde guy held up his hand, looking mortified, and made as if to speak, but the professor swiftly flicked his finger towards him. Then, although the blonde guy looked like he was speaking, no sound was heard. <br>
<br>
The professor then continued as the blonde guy looked confused. <b>"I will be returning all of the money that this student of mine has stolen from you all."</b> He also nodded over to the girl. <b>"And, of course, you will receive your winnings as well. Speaking of which..."</b> He surveyed the crowd, then pointed over to Dan and the one-armed guy. <b>"Both of you, and you as well,"</b> he gestured back to Naya, <b>"Stick around, I have something to talk about with you three once this is over."</b><br>
<br>
Over the next several dozen minutes, the professor went through the record that Flavian had been keeping about the money he had made throughout the festival up to this point. Evidently, he made more than 9,000 rykes per day from his scheme. The professor forced him to bow his head and apologize to everyone as he handed over the money that he had unfairly taken from them. When his apologies didn't seem genuine enough, the professor smacked him and told him to do it all over again. It was fairly painful to watch - like a child being chastised. <br>
<br>
Once everyone received their recompense, the professor snapped his fingers and the stall completely disappeared, as if it was never there to begin with. He then looked down at the blonde-haired guy with a stern expression. <b>"You will be receiving a demerit for this. Go reflect on your actions."</b> Flavian then sighed and accepted the reprimand, thanking the professor for his mercy, and quickly walked away, glaring daggers over at Dan, the one-armed guy, and Naya. The professor then approached the three, looking exceedingly disappointed at the blonde fellow as he walked over.<br>
<br>
<b>"Our academy holds honor and competency in exceedingly high regard. Whereas Flavian only showed one of the two back there, you all showed both."</b> He then smiles warmly and holds out his hand, first to Naya, then to the one-armed guy, then to Dan. <b>"For that, I am grateful. I do not believe I've seen any of you before. I'm Professor Haliwyn. I head the department of ethics here at the Imperial Logia Academy of Ryken, although the focus of my research is mana theory. Are you students?"</b> <br>
<br>
Other festival-goers walked past the empty stall space as they spoke. The festival seemed to be steadily getting more and more busy as time went on.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman'"><span style="font-size: 26px">Arthur Verg </span></span></span><br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/20211114_093548-png.939012/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/876/876142-6a8832999b8e414b94986969435b8d3f.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="20211114_093548.png" title="20211114_093548.png" width="100" height="136" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
The now two armed man watched the battle between, Naya and the stall owner, his eyes watched Naya as she tried to shuffle like he did only to fumble it. Arthur shook his head with a sigh, she was young and thought she was as showy as Arthur. He rubbed his chin with his ethereal arm watching the two go back and forth. Then he smirked as Naya called speed and the crowd was in a uproar, rubbing the defeat in this man's face. Naya did good, she was quick to learn the game, not bad. <br>
<br>
But it was then that this stall owner began to try and say that Naya cheated him in their game, Arthur rolled his eyes, that would have been a huge offense back home. If you suspected someone was cheating you better be able to prove, if proven right the cheater usually got whacked. But if you were being a sore loser and had no way to prove it, you would get whacked or your ass beaten into disability. <i>Commoner... </i>What a ridiculous insult, guess people here can't come up with better insults. Arthur can already come up with a couple better ones than that one, but of course Speed did not have a strategy, its not like poker and trying to lie to your opponents face, or trying to stack cards. Your objective was to get rid of your deck as quickly as possible IF possible. <br>
<br>
When Dan stepped forward to tell the stall owner that he had lost and he couldn't make rules up, Arthur watched from the side with his arms crossed, staring at the owner as he tried coming up with a way to get out of his loss. His eyes moved to a masked figure that revealed himself to be a old elvish man, but this man must have been important if the stall owner named Flavian looked terrified when he was not being scolded like a beaten child. It was enjoyable to watch, and Arthur was sure everyone at the stall enjoyed it just as much if not more. <br>
<br>
Once everyone got their money returned, Arthur took his coin that he had lost, smirking at Flavian as he moved away to meet this professor. As he went on about how Flavian brought dishonor on their academy and even shook his hand, Arthur crossed his arms when asked if they were students. Arthur cleared his throat. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">No. I am not at least. But I was trying to find someone to talk to to join the academy. </span>" Arthur explained. <br>

There was little that Naya hated more than being accused of lying. She didn't really know why but her credibility was something she proud of. So when someone starts questioning it, especially someone who was being dishonest themselves, it really got under her skin. Luckily before she could start arguing back Dan stepped in to her defense. She nodded along as he countered Flavian's arguments.<br>
<br>
Then the professor stepped in and promptly shut the student up. Naya actually felt a little sorry for the dude as he watched all he had built crumble down. But it was kind of what he deserved. Karma and all that. Once it was all wrapped up and the professor asked if they were students Naya shook her head. "Nah, I'm to dumb for that." She said with an embarrassed giggle.</div>

<br>
The professor seemed to pity Naya as she responded to his question with self-deprecation. He nodded understandingly as the one-armed fellow indicated his interest in joining. When he shook his hand with Dan, the plain-clothed traveler commented, <b>"Not yet, but I did plan on becoming one. My name is Dan, by the way."</b> <br>
<br>
With that said, the professor scratched his chin, looking the three of them over. He gestured to the three, commenting, <b>"Very well. I shall address those concerns. But first, I would like to know a bit more about what happened back there."</b> He focused in on Dan. <b>"Flavian said that you set him up. I didn't quite understand what he meant by that. Could you explain that to me?"</b><br>
<br>
Dan then grinned and nodded. He explained, <b>"Why, of course. These two and I knew that he was cheating somehow, and I suspected that he was utilizing information-accessing abilities to do so. So we thought up a scheme to reveal his tricks."</b> He gestured to Naya and the one-armed guy as he mentioned them. <b>"We suspected that he was using mind-reading abilities in addition to another ability, so I thought up a plan to take advantage of that."</b> He pointed at the one-armed guy. <b>"He knows several games, and is rather intimidating, so I had him play several rounds of a pretty simple game based on random chance. The goal there was to figure out whether Flavian's other, non-mind-reading ability was based on determining random outcomes or predicting them. It was obvious that he was only predicting the outcomes, since my friend was able to stack the deck against him."</b> He then gestured to Naya, smirking as he commented, <b>"Then, I had my friend here challenge Flavian to an entirely different game - one that she barely knows, for which mind-reading and prediction would only slow him down."</b> He crossed his arms, looking proud. <b>"Obviously, following the deck-stacking of the previous challenger, and knowing that we're all in the same group, Flavian would expect her to try some cheat or scheme against him. He'd want to know what it was, so he'd definitely try to read her mind so that, if he lost, he would be able to invalidate it by showing that she cheated. Unfortunately for him, Naya is an honest-to-goodness amateur who just wanted to win as fast as possible, so the time he wasted reading her mind cost him the game."</b><br>
<br>
He beamed over at the other two as he paused momentarily, then gestured over at them as he continued speaking. <b>"Of course, that wasn't my original plan. My original plan was to just gather information about how Flavian's abilities worked and to then set up a follow-up plan to invalidate them and earn a fair win. My friends here, especially this guy, far exceeded my expectations."</b> He gently patted the one-armed guy on the shoulder as he mentioned him. He then gestured over to Naya, adding, <b>"He thought up a great way to take advantage of her lack of confidence and experience in order to earn her a victory."</b><br>
<br>
He then released the guy's shoulder and returned to a more neutral stance as the professor considered his words. The professor then nodded, after wrapping up his brief thoughts to himself. <b>"I see. It sounds like two of you are seeking entry into the school. Based on what I have seen and heard today, all of you are more than qualified to take the entry exam."</b> He then reached into his pockets and pulled out three small tokens, the likes of which appeared to be lacquered wood with embedded gold foil, in the symbol of the Imperial Logia Academy of Ryken. He held out the tokens to them. <b>"In fact, it would be a waste to have you three have to wait in order to take the exam with the other applicants. I will hold a special admissions test a week from today here in this courtyard with several other promising talents. As long as you have one of these tokens and you tell your names to the guards at the entrance, you will be granted permission to enter at that time."</b><br>
<br>
He then quickly double-checked everyone's full names. Dan provided his full name as "Dan". The professor double-checked the names of the other two. He then bid them farewell, commenting, <b>"I look forward to seeing how you will each do on the entry exam. Until then, have a wonderful week!"</b><br>
<br>
With that said, Dan turned to the other two, grinning as he put the token into his money pouch. <b>"Well isn't that wonderful?"</b> He grinned knowingly over at Naya, adding, <b>"Even I didn't expect it to be <i>that</i> easy."</b><br>
<br>
...<br>
<br>
After enjoying themselves at the festival for a few more hours, they eventually bid one another farewell. The rest of the week went by quickly. The festival wrapped up before long, and the city continued bustling. <br>
<br>
Dan spent a considerable amount of time reading. He would earn a bunch of money from his work as a performer, or as an investigator or as a counsellor, and would spend pretty much all of it on lodging, food, and access to various libraries. He slept about as much as he usually did, which is to say, not much at all. <br>
<br>
Once the week was past, Dan headed back over to the academy grounds. He went in through the same gateway, over to the accessory courtyard. The guards stopped him at first, but once he presented the token and provided his name, they checked a list and hesitantly let him through. Once he was inside, he spotted a group of people in the middle of the courtyard. Various pieces of equipment were set up all throughout the courtyard, and around a dozen other people were gathered around the middle area, where Professor Haliwyn was discussing something with those who were already present. Dan looked around, but didn't see the one-armed guy or the catgirl yet.<br>
<br>
Once he approached, Professor Haliwyn seemed to notice him, and waved over. A few other people turned around to take a look, but lost interest once seeing the approaching plain-clothed guy. <b>"Dan! So good to see that you made it! Please have a seat. We are still waiting on six more people. Feel free to talk among yourselves, I'll explain what the test will entail once everyone arrives, so I won't have to repeat myself."</b><br>
<br>
...<br>
<br>
Dan barely managed to get more than a greeting in with any of the other people in the group. Only one of them wasn't an eminent, well-dressed nobleman, and the one who wasn't seemed to be some sort of monster that didn't have the ability to speak. It was an eclectic crowd, to be sure. Dan seemed to be quite amused. Once the others all showed up, Dan greeted them enthusiastically, especially the one-armed guy and Naya. Then, once everyone was gathered, the professor quieted everyone down and started giving the briefing.<br>
<br>
<b>"Alright everyone. Today I will be evaluating your capabilities in the fields of knowledge, athletics, combat arts, magic arts, and social arts. In each field, you will receive a rating that indicates your current capabilities, as well as the proficiency with which you utilize any relevant techniques or methodologies."</b> He raised his hands, gesturing as he continued to speak. <b>"Your rating in each field will be G, F, D, C, B, A, or S, in order from worst to best. Based on these ratings, you will be assigned an overall rating, which will establish the class that you will be joining. However, there is no 'G' rated class. If your rating is determined to be 'G' overall, you will not be approved for admission to the academy, and will have to improve on your foundations so that you can re-apply another time."</b><br>
<br>
He then walked the prospective students around and showed them the various pieces of equipment throughout the courtyard. Evidently, there were many magic items that seemed quite expensive, the likes of which had perplexing functions like 'measuring the force of impact', 'determining the precision and density of mana-laden effects', or 'determining the time over which an event elapses'. There were also several golems, which the professor indicated were designed to serve as the 'standard' which students must overcome to receive certain ratings of combat arts. <br>
<br>
Once the professor finished the tour, he snapped his fingers and a portal appeared next to him. Several dolls then exited the portal, the likes of which were dressed in the same uniform as the professor. He then explained that the dolls would be operating the devices, and that the prospective students would have to take turns going around the courtyard and being evaluated at each station. Once the students were done, he would finalize the student's test results and provide the student with the emblem and dorm key for their respective classes, or would send them on their way if they ended up with a rating of G. <br>
<br>
Once the explanation was over, everyone, Dan included, started scrambling around to visit the different stations and to be evaluated. Dan went over to the magic station first. There, the doll asked him, in a voice that eerily resembled that of Professor Haliwyn, to use any magical effect. Dan shrugged and commented that he didn't know any. The doll then said that his test was complete. Dan shrugged and moved along. <br>
<br>
The next station he went to was the combat one, which had a golem standing in a circular ring with ropes hanging around it as a sort of flexible wall. Dan had to wait a while for the other prospective students who were in line in front of him to get through their own fights. Some of them were exceedingly capable. Once it was Dan's turn, the doll asked him which golem he would like to fight against. Dan bashfully commented that he'd like to try his luck against the F rated golem. After around a minute of moving around and getting punched rather one-sidedly, the doll annouced that the test was over, saving Dan from receiving yet another bruise. The doll then used some sort of light-based spell on Dan, which caused his rather minor injuries to fade away. <br>
<br>
Next up, Dan went to the athletics test. There, he nearly broke his hand on the force-impact rating thing, and had to be healed yet again. He also didn't seem to do too well against the weight-lifting test. However, he seemed to do pretty well on the treadmill-like thing, and was able to get to a pretty decent speed. <br>
<br>
Next, Dan went over to the knowledge test area. There, he was asked various questions on a wide variety of topics. He seemed pretty confident in his answers pertaining to the logic, philosophy, and physics questions that were asked to him, but didn't seem nearly as confident when he was asked about stuff like magic and history. His test took longer than most of the other people, and he looked pretty satisfied with himself when the doll announced that his test was over. <br>
<br>
Lastly, Dan headed over to the socializing test area. There, the doll provided various roleplaying prompts, the likes of which seemed a lot like a job interview. Once again, Dan's test took longer than most of the other students' tests took.<br>
<br>
Once the last test was over for him, Dan headed back over to Professor Haliwyn. It seemed that most of the students were done already, and a line had formed in front of the professor, so Dan had to wait a while. Once it was his turn, the professor greeted Dan and looked over a translucent rock with some glowing letters flashing about on it, then said, <b>"According to these results, your Combat Arts and Magic Arts are rank G, your athletics is rank F, and your knowledge and social arts are both at rank E. Accordingly, you belong in the F rank class. Welcome to the Imperial Logia Academy of Ryken, Dan!"</b> He then offered Dan the F rank emblem and key. Dan eagerly accepted them.<br>
<br>
Dan waited around with the other prospective students who got accepted. Once everyone was evaluated and those who failed were escorted out of the courtyard, the professor approached everyone else with a satisfied smile. <b>"Congratulations! All of you are now students of the Imperial Logia Academy of Ryken! I will guide you over to the registration area so that we can get each of your names entered into the registry of your classes. Thereafter, you will receive a tour of the campus from one of the senior members of your class, which will end with you being brought to your dorm room. Your tour guide will answer any questions you have regarding the campus and its facilities."</b><br>
<br>
With that, he herded the students over to one of the large buildings adjacent to the courtyard. Once everyone was inside, he brought them through a hallway and over to a room recessed within. Inside, there was a lady with dragonoid features who smiled excitedly and greeted everyone. She introduced herself as the registrar, and started taking names and writing people into the registry. While this happened, the professor disappeared, saying he needed to clean up the courtyard and get the tour guide students over to the registry office. <br>
<br>
...<br>
<br>
Once everyone was registered, a few minutes passed by. There was an excited buzz between the students as they nervously murmured about their success. Eventually, the senior students arrived, and started pairing up with the new students. From there, everyone wandered around the campus, learning about its various buildings. Dan seemed to focus in on the library and dining hall, and asked a ton of questions about them, which his tour guide patiently answered. Once they were done, they all ended up at the dorms. Dan entered his room with the key he was given, locking the door behind him, and flopped down on the bed. <br>
<br>
<b>"Classes from sunrise to sunset, huh?"</b> he commented, grinning excitedly. <b>"Looks like I'm going to be busy again..."</b></div>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/20211114_093548-png.939569/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/876/876699-6a8832999b8e414b94986969435b8d3f.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="20211114_093548.png" title="20211114_093548.png" width="100" height="136" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
When Arthur got the praise he deserved for scamming a guy scamming others, he had a wide grin on his face while his human hand and ethereal hand held one another in front of him, being formal and quiet, like he was for his family. It felt good to he praised for once, he usually wasn't praised unless it was for killing someone. When they said their farewells, Arthur made sure to stay away from the law and began to find a way to start a life for himself. Find any opportunity he could. <br>
<br>
When a week passed and Arthur arrived to take his test. He was wearing the same outfit but this time it was a lot more refurbished. As he made his greetings to Dan and Naya, they were given a tour of the academy, Arthur making notes of what was what and where what was at. Soon enough what Arthur was waiting for began, the entrance exams. <br>
<br>
The first test was him demonstrating any magical effect. Arthur demonstrated his spirit vision to the doll, pointing out a poor small spirit lost in time, floating around. Once finished he moved onto combat, Arthur's favorite, he loved fighting and was good at it in his line of work. When the golem stepped up, Arthur summoned a ethereal purple revolver into his ethereal hand and pointed it at the golem head from a distance. But instead he pointed down at where its legs were and fired at where its weak joints were so it would fall with only two shots. When that was finished, Arthur turned his revolver into a knife by letting the gun go and gripping once again. Now holding a ethereal purple knife. He moved to the golem and slammed the knife into the head of the golem, stopping it for good. Pulling the knife out, Arthur was grinning as the knife disappeared and he moved on. <br>
<br>
Arthur would see athletics, now he wasn't the best but he wasn't the worst. He got through it pretty clean, he could have done better in certain areas but he got through it. Next was knowledge, Arthur did pretty well, he might not be educationally intelligent but he was witty and street smart, puzzles he could solve quickly. <br>
<br>
Once that was over, Arthur moved onto the last test he was better at than combat. Socializing. One thing you had to be good at in his previous line of work was to lie. Lie to the right people and not to the wrong people. Throughout the entire trial, Arthur did very well and was able to play his roles. He could intimidate, persuade, and cheat his way through. He had a silver tongue. <br>
<br>
When finished, Arthur would find out he passed and got into the academy, he smiled and would finally be able to do what he wanted to do back home. Get a education. He looked up and smirked, he was proud of himself. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">School, eh? Mother would be pissed. </span>" He laughed a little. " <span style="color: rgb(243, 121, 52)">Fucking bitch.</span> " Arthur laughed with himself quietly.</div>

Naya stared shocked at the token that was handed to her. That was real gold! This was the single most expensive thing she'd ever held! It felt too precious for someone like her to even hold, and yet she was being told it was hers. And that she could apply for the school. She had to be dreaming, right? There was no way this was real. She pinched herself to be sure. Nope, that hurt. She was definitely awake.<br>
<br>
It didn't matter though. There was no way she could go. There was just too much work to do on the farm. And even if she did go there was no way she was going to get in. School just wasn't for her. At least that's what she told herself. But when she met up with her mom and recounted the day's events she was surprised when she was encouraged to take the exam. She hadn't expected her parents to let her try.<br>
<br>
A week passed in no time and Naya was walking back into the courtyard. Her moms had insisted that she wear something nice, though where they got the outfit Naya had no idea. She was stopped at the gates by some rude guards calling her a stray, but when she showed her token and gave her name they reluctantly let her in. She spotted Arthur and Dan and greeted them. Then the tour started and Naya was pleasantly surprised to learn that they had combat arts here. She knew what class she wanted.<br>
<br>
Once the tour was over and everyone scattered Naya decided she was going to leave the best for last and headed over to the knowledge test. She... well, she struggled. She actually did better than she expected, having been given a basic education by her mom, but her lack of confidence in the subject slowed her down.<br>
<br>
Next up was socializing, which she breezed through. It wasn't that she was especially proficient in the area, but that she was sure of who she was and what she'd do. So coming up with answers for the prompts wasn't a challenge.<br>
<br>
Then it was the magic test. When prompted by the doll to use a magical effect Naya had to think for a moment. Did she have any magic? She was had one thing but she wasn't really sure if it counted. Well it was worth a shot anyways. Closing her eye she focused on the energy inside her, imagining it flowing down and around her hands. When she opened her eyes again golden flames were wreathed around her fists. "How's that?" She asked. When the only response was that the test was over Naya stuck her tongue out at the doll.<br>
<br>
Up next came athletics which Naya preformed fairly well at. Having grown up working on a farm meant she was in pretty good shape. She did struggle a little when it came to endurance, but she worked in bursts.<br>
<br>
Finally it was time for the combat test. This was the one she was particularly excited for. She wasn't sure what the ratings meant so she asked to try the easiest one first. It became apparent pretty quickly that F grade golem was too easy as she tore through its defenses. So she tried the E grade out. It was a bit tough but she was on the offensive for most the fight and eventually her claws proved too sharp for it. <br>
<br>
The tests being over with Naya joined the students in front of the professor. Once she got her results she squealed in delight. She passed! She'd actually passed! It was so exciting! She could not wait to start her life as a student.</div>
