Btw, I'm not QM. I'm posting the OP for QM because he is under a range ban for posting images and thus cannot create the thread himself.

"Spices, you say? I believe you Johann, I believe every single word you just said to me. After all, you wouldn't lie to me."

"It is the truth."

The orc in a red suit stood up, stretching to the left and to the right while cracking his knuckles " My previous boss, a sharp orc business woman, was running this branch to the ground. Too much corruption on her side, She kept swallowing pons in that smoooth and slim body of hers while ignoring the little ones like me and the rest of the workforce. Do you know how did I get my massive promotion, Johann?"

The orc smiled, revealing his sharp but almost perfect set of white teeth " Close. There is a single law that our pointy overlords wouldn't dare to scrap even after the revolution: the Six Sword's Midnight Duel. "

"D-duel?" Your body tensed up as if someone tazed you.

" Any two citizens of Cairth can engage in a duel to the death to settle a certain dispute as long as both sides agree to the terms of the duel under the supervision of law enforcers." the orc closed his eyes, re-imagining what happened " She....agreed. Women can be very wise, Johann. They are not too hot-headed like us men acting on impulse. She *knew* what would happen if she disagreed."

You could heard your heard pounding as he continued " She wore a full riot gear AND she had two knives on her . As for me, I came in naked, nothing on me. Do you know what I did to her?"

The room felt like it was closing on you " I started with her fingers breaking them one by one, the same fingers that stole from this company then I broke her long legs. Finally, I snapped her little neck and left her twitching on the ground. I won the duel under the eyes of the law and I walked free.What does this make me?"

"Couldn't have phrased it any better." The orc took several lumbering steps towards you, " I get my hands dirty for my friends, my family and everyone in this company."

The chrome orc suddenly clapped his hands "Right, right, I always forget to introduce myself; I just assume that everyone in Koris knows how am I. I am Mr. Vartel in honour of my elven stepdad who saved me and my mom from the slums of Sanda."

" Mr. Vartel, I need to buy or rent one of your storage units." It was time you get straight to the point.

"Of course my dear Johann. We wouldn't have this exciting conversation if you didn't want something for me. Correct me if am wrong, but I assume you are not exactly swimming in pons, are you?"

"Just like any student in Garsis."

"Then I have the perfect unit for you. 5x10 , 250 pons per month for rent. 10k for permanent ownership of this unit or 5k upfront with 300 pon per month for 70 months."

>paying 26,000 for a 10,000 unit while making 50% down payment
This is exactly the level of financing I expected from our social credit score. For real though, rent for 250 a month. That's actually a pretty good deal, since I doubt we'll need the thing for more than 40 months.

>>4288934
Rent it.

" Good , good. Mukzu will show you your unit. Don't you worry, We ensure your privacy above anything else. Your secret is safe with us."

"Thank you Mr. Vartel." Secret? what is he talking about?

"Make sure to stop by," He grinned " I got a little something for you next time."

Your storage unit was perfectly placed in a corner ensuring that one will ever bother you or Maq. Speaking of Maq, what are you going to do with all that money? She literally gave you all of her pons, she still got to go to the academy AND work somehow next week. Without your help, this will be nearly impossible.

The golden bench was almost buried under a layer of thick red snow. The strange trees in this valley were made up from bones, wires and eye-riddled leaves which focused their icy glares on you two. They provided little resistance against the chilly winds coming from the far north.

TIME [13/25]

You kept wandering in this forsaken valley until you found an unusually giant pulsating green worm with a gaping maw full of phantasm like needles that continues to retract into the meaty folds within.

"Is that a shadow?" you asked, there is no way you could kill that thing even though it looks reallly docile.

"No, It is another byproduct of your world in mine. It has no Makka inside of it. Let's leave it b-"

"Wait! I see something....treasure? Deep into its exposed gullet , you spotted something very shiny.

"Johann, don't."

" Come on, we can snag the loot and get out of here real quick." Maq sighed, she knew nothing can persuade you to leave that sparky sparky alone.

You two approached the gaping maw, the stench of death almost made you threw up " What or Who died in there ?"

"Let's just get this over wi-WOAH!" the ghost-like needles sprung out of their meaty hidey-hole almost turning you into a Kob-Azaab.

"Damn, it was a trap after all."

"Wait...What is this?" Maq found three swords stuck on the worm's right side. First sword barely qualified as a sword; it was more of a pointy stick with a joke of a hilt. The second one was a sword proper though it was drenched in blue blood that floated upwards, the third and final one was a golden sword with ornate gems and what not. However, despite its flashy appearance, it had several rotten scabs all over the blade.

"Oooh, more loot!"

"No, you blood idiot " Maq huffed out of frustration " It is one of those enigmas. I can feel it."

"You mean...a puzzle?"

"Yes, Only one of these three swords will help us. Now, which one could help us to transverse this bottomless pit of needles?"

>You don't care, loot all the swords!

>>4298577
>gaping maw full of phantasm like needles that continues to retract into the meaty folds within
This reminds me of the Needle Pit of Gabriel, where the old monarch was thrown into by the revolutionaries. The golden sword is some sort of allusion to the monarchy, itself I think. The blue blood sort I'm thinking refers to the needles that killed the king, or the revolution in general. The hiltless sword seems like the odd one out, basically being an average needle.

I don't know what's going on with the puzzle, to be honest. I think we have to go with the option the pit "likes" and thus the natural thing to have go down it. That would make it the hiltless sword, but I can see it being the blue blood blade as well, since the whole purpose of the pit is to have brutal revenge against the monarchy.

Who knows, I might be totally off base. I'd like to hear what you guys think. Going with

Once you drew out the sword, the worm started to disintegrate along with all the swords leaving only a treasure chest behind.

"How did you choose the right one?"

"This word represented the masses under the oppression of the Monarchy while the worm was the city state bloated with corruption. You said that this was a reflection of what is happening in my world, right?"

You snatched the last bit of leftovers before someone else would get it. It was kind of a dick move on your part but a man's gonna eat.

Other students in the kitchen were talking about that once-in-a-lifetime lottery, it feels like the main target audience here are non elves. The fat elven politician you watched in that talk show speaks true, its only purpose is to destroy lives...even for those who 'won' the lottery.

You were *still* hungry after gobbling up this bite-sized meal. Oh well, Something is better than nothing. One day, you will cook your own food.

"Welcome to Alute! Where the price is always...night. Nighty night." Tecig took a big yawn, Someone was half-sleeping on their job.

"Heyyy." You weren't faring better either.

" You look like you were hit by an icecream truck." He pointed at your slightly red nose "You are gonna get cold real fast with these on."

"Yeah," you will go to that pro-loyalist guy later. For now, you will buy some relatively expensive ready-made food. Tecig did renew his small selection of fruits and vegetables but you have no clue how to cook.

「Alute's Home made Slimitan」
-A special Slimitan made by Tecig, the owner of Alute. This slimy mixture of Caramel, Lunax Dan seeds and the bone marrow extract of Mitan Apes is surprisingly delicious, perfect for a cold night.

「Hell's worm」
One of the staple food of the uncivilized/feral Arachni, this giant vampiric worm is usually found deep underground in a nest made out of the husks of its preys. Its meat is extremely bitter and gelatinous in nature. However, It is one of the few meals that both Arachni and non-Arachni can enjoy together (though the spider folk prefer to drink its blood, they can 'chew' the meat and spit it back without a drop of blood.)

You snatched Bogza before he would lose himself in more body training, It was time to stay up allll night for that damn essay. Using the power of the internet and your books, you started to work on the essay.

" Early Humez namez are all da same." Bogza wasn't really helping that much, you felt like most of the work is falling on you. Huh, It appears that the Don-siek Voxa human cannibals who survived the destruction of their continent along other human refugees were making proto-condoms out of the ears of the elves they ate....should you, uh, write this down in the essay?

History is history, man. You can't be ashamed from it. You do have a sneaking suspicion that the elves left that tidbit of history unaltered to show how savage them humies are. Jokes of them; that was pretty bad ass.

FENCING
______________________________

This was your first time in the practice building, most of it was dedicated to Ollad with Fencing coming in second place in terms of space.

The fencing training hall was spacious with its own changing room for convenience sake. There was a large trophy case here as well , Garsis academy had won a decent number of tournaments across the years, you saw a lot of elves taking the first place with pride. No surprise there. Finally, there was a huge white board chart with everyone's name on it....pretty sure that was the ranking system the elven police officer talked about.

Your class was almost exclusively elves save for two pixies, a centaur, a dryad and two Arachni , you can feel their gazes upon you from their ivory towers. They clearly didn't want you here, like at all. The tense air was brimming with hostilities from all sides, Everyone here wants to succeed while watching the rest fail miserably.

Kaz was sitting away from anyone, his eyes were vigorously studying the rest of the so called 'great four' so much so that he failed to notice you until you stood right in front of him.

"Oh, It is you." came his cold, cold reply.

"Come on, man. I didn't see your message, I swear!"

"Your excuses don't matter. You missed a great opportunity to learn. I would say I am disappointed but this was to be expected from your kind. I do hope you take our agreement more seriously. " Here he goes again with overly dramatic pish-posh words.

>I will be that 1/5 of the humans you dealt with from now on, PROMISE.
>I will make it up for you, what about we ... [ Set a date for a training session in palisade park!]
>Yeah,yeah, whatever.

Let´s try to mimic his professional tone and slightly change the conversation:

>I apologize for forgetting to read the messages, that´s on me. But I already had commited with someone else for the day.

Use our godlike socialize to redirect the conversation:

>Anyways, you said they were doing a duel reenacment right? How does that work exactly? Do they try to imitate the styles of each duellist and improvide from there or is it all staged move by move with a decided victor?

" I dislike your usage of the word 'staged', It implies resorting to cheap tricks to please a broader audience, I'll have you know that the reenactment was skillfully performed by two professionals with decades of experience under their belt."

"But....Isn't that the case?" It was an honest question.

" Your naivety and ignorance are one and the same...but yes, such famous duels are reenacted faithfully right down to the same move and/or mistake...well, except for the lethal aspect of it. Now.."

The red haired elf stood behind you whispering soft word in your ear like the devil in disguise " You see those hungry eyes all around you? they are starving for success, fame and glory as any proper fencer. This is our predatory mentality, we muster fester on the weak to succeed...all starts with a little bit of assessment of your equally hungry opponent. Johann, what can you tell me of our preys and predators? Pick one , tear it wide open with your eyes."

He's keeping his weight mostly on his right, but he shifts a little left every now and then, almost as if he's baiting. His face is looking in the direction of the other guy's rapier and not where they're looking, so that might also be why. I can't tell where his eyes are looking from here, though."

"An astute observation." That compliment was genuine " A lot of mind games are at play, be on your guard."

He shifted position from one ear to another " The rest of the great four.... Do you see their melting gaze upon us? They know that I am using you as a pawn, as my wild card against my rival." His words were softer than butter yet menacing in their own twisted way.

>Hey! I am NOT your pawn!

Qansous wasn't as bulky as the academy's nurse, on the contrary, She was very petite in size with sharp facial features accentuating her nimble predator-like appearance especially those damn pitch black eyes.Something felt wrong about her slightly reddish skin, . Her bright yellow legs were so thin and sharp. You felt like she is walking on rapiers instead of actual set of legs while her spider half had black and yellow stripes as well as her short hair, it was very dazzling to look at....probably part of her plan to confuse her opponents.

"She comes from a rare sub-race of Arachni, Known for their powerful legs and ambushing tactics. Qansous 'The Yellow Widow' has *destroyed* and dethroned the previous member of the great four on her first day here two years ago so much so that the poor girl had committed suicide a few days afterwards, unable to bear the shame of such humiliating defeat . That very same girl who won two Gran Siouell back to back." His eyes darted over the trophy case where there was a photograph of an elven girl smiling with the three orange stripes at the bottom left indicating that she had died within 10 years. It is a post-revolutionary elven tradition that had spilled over to other races.

" Did I mention that she can use camouflage? Her skin, both upper and lower, can change its colour in a blink of an eye. There are no current rules against such racial advantage in fencing."

"That is...very noble of you. She didn't deserve it. Not one bit." Kaz paused, expunging any hint of emotion he briefly had " The Regialeth twins, on the other hand, are far more cunning than my rival. They are on a whole new level of deception."

The dyad looked identical , same pink lips, creamy skin and long woven hair. They reminded you Leviarine actually, the only exception was their eyes, it was slightly more slanted than usual...wait, Is that a sixth finger??? Both twins have it.

One of them actually waved at you with a warm smile on...his errr...her face?

" Yes, Please save some pons to be a suit of your own and a practice rapier. The ones here are absolutely horrendous. You can buy here or down in Sanada if you are feeling venturous."

"Shouldn't I introduce myself or something? I mean, we are all going to be together for the rest of the year, right?" No one was really socializing with another except for the the twins and you/Kaz.

"Elven fencing etiquette. A proper introduction only occurs *after* a duel or watching said person in a duel." huh, you learn something new every day.

_________________________

Finally, after an eternity of waiting , Your teacher (trainer?) had arrived. He was one of those purple elves like Miss Yuni with a crooked nose and slightly misaligned chin. His baldness didn't make him less uglier than he was. He was already in his suit, ready to start the show. You felt very superficial by judging him straight away from his appearance.

"Welcome, students, Welcome! I am pleased to see more new faces this year. I am Edzar, yes *the* Edzar you all heard of, I am riiiight there, see?"

Wow, that guy was not only one of the great four (seven in his year). He also racked 4 championships and 8 medals 12 years ago. , very impressive Now you feel *really* bad about it.

"Unfortunately, the iconic, the one and only Silver Phionee has passed away in January. I am will never ever be able to fill her shoes but by Moon, I will train you to ALMOST as good as me! I-"

You heard some ruckus outside the practice building. It was almost as if students and teachers alike were cheering for something or someone.

"What is going on?"

"Goopy says that Judge Cidgeth is @ our academy!!!"

"NO.FREAKING.WAY."

"H-hHEY! GET BACK HERE." Edzar lost his temper in a flash as more and more students were leaving to witness the commotion outside."

You found yourself with the uncomfortable company of the great four and your teacher. The rest were gone with the wind. The discipline on these guys... they were on a whole new level.

"The nerve on these kids... I bet that I , the mighty Edzar , can humiliate that..that half-murk in a duel! How *dare* he steal my students!!" your teacher was about to pop a vein, already huffing and puffing in anger.

" Ykhes, Your reputation precedes you, sikhr. We have so much to lekharn from you." said the sly Arachni.

" You should punish them, no exceptions." suggested one of the twins. His (her?) words burrowed inside your teacher's head; he is probably going to do it later on. The other twin simply nodded in silence.

Of all the great four, Kaz said the unthinkable " Then do it, Your words must be backed by both resolve and action. His mere presence had robbed you of your students. This is a serious offense against any elven fencing master...unless you are too afraid to face a judge or you are not the man you proclaim yourself to be."

"WHAT? HOW DARE YOU?! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM????" Edzar was on fire from such burning rage. Even the rest of the great four were taken aback by such bravado from Kaz's side. Your teacher pointed his rapier at your biology partner, just one step away from doing something reallly stupid. Kaz, on the other hand, was almost taunting the teacher with his calmness.

"That DOES it!" Without any warning, Edzar grabbed a second rapier before kicking the main door open barging outside like a madman.

The other three were bewildered by this bizarre situation " Oh Kaz, What is your ploy here? Your little protege might get our teacher fired....or worse." said one of the twins.

"Very unukhasal for you to scheme so...vividly." Qansous added as her sharp fangs peeked a little from her tiny mouth.

"You'll see." He turned his head towards you " Shall we? We don't want to miss this duel."

The five of you went outside of the practice building. Literally EVERYONE was outside with Judge Cidgeth being in the heart of it all. In a bold move of your principal, he only allowed a few reporters and journalists. The rest were climbing on each other outside the main gate.

It was impossible to get any closer to him or to cross this swathe of students/teachers. The few pixies in the academy were floating within their 5 meter limit, you really wished you were either tall enough or with wings.

Gwinyr was in overclock mode. Despite the sea of people, she had found the perfect spot to both record and to right down notes at the same time somehow " What did I miss?"

"..." Little miss journalist was in another world, she did murmur something about 'peace' and 'equity'.

Seeing a judge on TV is one thing but with your naked eye? This is a totally different experience. This wasn't some light gilded armour he had, that shit looked very, very heavy. It wouldn't be a surprise if he is wearing more than his actual weight. One thing you noticed was the lack of any personal guard unlike the rest of the judges and any political figure in Cairth.

Kaz was in a different state of silence. He was like a strategist waiting for his set pieces to act according to his plan, whatever it may be.

"...the future is in your hands. Waste it not on misguided hatred. These relics of the past have no place in our modern world where w-"

"YOU! Hey YOU! YOU STOLE MY FENCING STUDENTS, I *WILL* DUEL YOU DAMN CROSSBREED."

You heard a lot of gasps, virtually everyone pulled out their phone. The principal was enraged; it is not like the academy need more scandals.

"Let him speak freely" He stopped the principal from taking a more aggressive action towards Edzar " I apologize." The Judge actually said sorry???? " Fencing is one of the Cairth's mos-"

"JUDGE OR NOT, NO ONE DISRESPECT THE MIGHTY EDZAR. I. WANT.MY.DUEL." Yep, he is definitely getting fired after this.

Judge Cidgeth extended his arms to the ground " Do you see this archaic mindset? Violence is never the answer. Why do we follow such laws which only favors brute force instead of reason and peaceful resolution? Is it because elves of old said so? We must carve our own path , hand by hand."

Apart from the clicks, the flashes and those hidden side talks, the crowd was silent. It was waiting for a spark to react other than your burning fencing teacher.

The Judge refused to entertain your teacher with a duel as he kept condemning violence. At this breaking point, Edzar simply threw his spare rapier at Cidgeth forcing him to start this unwanted. Here is the catch, both rapiers didn't have a blunt end.

Edzar quickly thrust his rapier at the Judge's chest only to be surprised by both the lack of Cidgeth's response as he didn't even raise his rapier to fend himself AND the nigh impenetrable armour which deflected the blow with ease.

At this point, the orc who you assumed to be
The Ollad trainer had tackled Edzar to the ground. That guy had lost it for real.

" Though his methods were flawed, I admire his spirit to raise against the chains of power to protect his honour." stated the Judge " Should he be fired or mistreated afterwards, I would be most displeased."

Everyone was still processing what had just happened, even Kaz didn't expect this outcome "Well, That was....interesting. What do you think of this short 'duel'?''

>Just what in the hell did you have in mind?
>Not according to plan, eh?
>More publicity stunts, nothing more
> He is coward who couldnt defend himself

" Not really, I have learned quite a lot about our teacher and our judge. For one, Mr. Edzar is full of himself...so eager to prove his 'talents' to everyone else. I don't think he is the fabled legend he proclaims himself to be. It is a shame that Silver Phionee had passed away...that woman was legendary."

"And the Judge?" You asked, half curious about what is on his mind.

" Still enshrouded in mystery...Judges are masters of war and arts only trained by the best of the best. He should have easily won the duel...why did he choose not to raise his rapier? Just why?"

>He knew that a real rapier couldn't pierce his golden armour...why bother?
>Swinging your rapier around all of these students? not a good idea.
>It goes against his way of thinking. The guy hates violence. Obviously, He won't betray his principles, not in front of the public at least.
>Who cares? Stop over analyzing everything, you will get brain fried real quick.
>I told you Kaz...publicity stunt. Filthy political cares only about their popularity. He'll look like a 'martyr' especially after letting our teach off the hook like that.

" I concur. Though, I am a bit skeptical about his true motives. Another topic for anoth..urrgh." He fell silent for a couple of seconds, slightly wincing in pain.

"Are you okay?" This wasn't the first time you saw him like that.

" Don't worry yourself, I am...fine." He certainly didn't look like it. Perhaps it is an elven thing not to show any weakness to your enemy (or in your case, to your pawn). The red haired elf didn't stick around afterwards, you saw him approaching Miss Khakigg. The two of them went to the main building, probably to the infirmary.

Judge Cidgeth was so captivating with his choice of well placed words. No wonder that he is rapidly gaining popularity, the other judges must be seething from this so called crossbreed. Serves them right.

MIDDAY
_________________________

"....and I humbly thank you all for having faith in me. I swear on my life that I will invest my power and soul to eradicate every speck of injustice in our society." Judge Cidgeth did a very strange bow before his crowd. You never saw anything like this before. Did this bow signify something?

Literally everyone , except for Edzar, cheered and clapped furiously. You too found yourself clapping as hard as you can. Watching this great man live has left quite an impression.

+Sympathize

The principal had to end the day so early thanks to the Judge and the swarm of Journos outside. Well, That sucks, You still don't know what is your second E.A.

The first one to talk to you after this great speech was Gwinyr who had a lot on her plate right now, her beautiful hair was a mess from standing under the sun while writing down some notes. She looked kind of cute in a way.

"Hey. Can we talk in the cafeteria ? It should be still open." Her throat was dry as a rock.

>Sure.
>What's wrong with here? I am not going anywhere.
>You look like shit. This one is on me.
>Yeah, I can use something to eat, you will pay for it, right?
>Write in!

>>4310022
>Sure.

>>4310022
>Sure.

The cafeteria was nothing special; it was your average hall stacked with long tables with plastic chairs. What does seperate it from the rest of other cafeterias was that weird freaking well riiight at the center. It was boarded up for obvious reasons, that thing is as old as the watchtowers around the academy.

The kitchen was ran by another set of sexually ambiguous twins. In this case, two overweight middle aged human 'sisters' ran the show. The word ambiguous came from their blatant facial hair around their neck folds and their don't-give-a-shit altitude. The only good thing about them was their relatively clean outfit with gloves and all. You will just have to ignore their constant coughing from all the cigs they are burning during the day.

" Hey , Kitty-Koo." said 'Edd' according to her name tag, her voice was manlier than yours " Watchya want?"

"My Usual Stress meal, thank you." Gwinyr replied politely, her eyes were trying not to look at the hideous beast behind the counter.

"HEY ENNA, ONE STRESS MEAL." She shouted to her twin sister who was frying something in the meantime " What about you, Cat-Cat, wanna a quick grub?"

>What is on the menu?
>No thank you
>I'll have what she is having
>What is with that damn well?
>Write in!

>>4310066
>No thank you
I don’t think Johann has ever eaten lunch why start now

If he ate a meal now, he won't have to eat a second meal later this day.

You doubt that this meal is for free plus you already bought a lot of food from Alute. The two of you sat down close to that bizarrely placed well. It didn't take long for Gwinyr's meal to be ready.

It.was.huge. A mound of mashed potato with meatballs and special kidney-shaped rice. There is no way that she could eat all of this in go.

Apparently, you were dead wrong; she finished it all as if she was in an eating contest. Her 2 liter bottle of water helped her immensely in this seemingly impossible task.

"Aaaah~ much better." A sigh of relief escaped her life, It sure felt awkward watching her eating a two-person's meal like that. It was only you, her and the twins in the cafeteria, thankfully.

"You finished? Can we talk now? " You were growing inpatient.

" Yes, Our plan was to go to Sanada after school but... I am scared. I don't think I'll be fine out there." Her eyes were ashamed to meet yours " I still want to do that interview with Grubb, I *won't* allow him to get fired because of me."

>So you wasted all of my time just to tell me this? I am out [Leave]
>Can't you talk him on the phone? It still counts as an interview.
>What? You think I am not enough for you or something?
>You are just another racist elf. Plain and simple.
>So you need more 'insurance'. Is that right?

PENALTY

"I am sorry but I think we will be a lot safer with an adult or someone from the third year. Lots of muscles works too."

You could only sigh in defeat. A girl like her probably has more enemies than friends with that sharp tongue of hers. It is on you to find that third wheel.

"Message me when you find our guy. I am free this weekend." Everyone has left already by the time she had finished her meal, couldn't she have told you in the courtyard? Elves tend to over-complicate things.

What is done is done. At least you got yourself a half free day out of it. What are you going to do?
