《The story of Willenstark Kraft》Chapter-4: The Beginning of a calamity . . . (edited)
Advertisement
Will woke up and dressed in his normal attire. A Dark black cloak and jeans with tennis shoes. He left his dorm and headed to the cafeteria. The cafeteria is a sub-building next to the main classrooms because over the years the headmaster grew tired of having to rebuild the cafeteria when spars got out of hand and decided to make it a sub-building of the main campus. The cafeteria was designed to be as efficient as possible. All the available space was used for either eating areas or sitting places for study. All of the first year students were starting to arrive when Will walked in.
" All right we will now assign the knights their squires and the first classes will begin tomorrow. The selection is completely random, we will no begin. " Announced Richard Heizer, the headmaster of Lunsford academy. They began calling out the knight trainees and the squires at random. Will's name was the fifth name called out. " Willenstark Kraft and Tim Jackson." As the headmaster announced this Will started laughing until he fell out of the bleachers he was sitting on. Tim was too shocked to move.
When he finally came to his senses he made a plan. " I'll get Will to show me how he increased his rank, and bypass him and make him pay for deceiving me and the others of his rank," Tim whispered to himself as he went to join Will in the bleachers. " Will I hope we can let bygones be bygones," Tim asked while trying to sound honest.
Will laugh heartedly "Of course, if you want to bury the hatchet then I will agree to as well." They then waited until the announcements were over.
" Okay, there will be no changes in the current squires until the next exam." Headmaster Heizer announced as he returned to his office.
"Well let's go to my dorm so that I can get the required stuff for training," Will said with a chuckle.
"Wow, it was that easy." Tim thought to himself.
Will met with Tim in the Sports field thirty minutes late. "Before we go through with this training, you must first agree to follow through with it no matter what. So before we begin, here are some forms to sign." Will handed Tim at least ten forms to sign.
Tim looked over the forms and nearly puked blood." A-A-Are you serious, twenty percent chance of major injury. Ten percent chance of minor injury, and forty percent chance of being crippled!!!"

Will laughed. " Power comes at a cost."
Tim blanched for a minute. " Okay let's do this."
" First sign the forms then we will start," Will said with an honest smile.
"Very well," Tim said with a sigh.
"Okay, so this is how this training is going to work, I will try to keep it simple for you, in these boxes are five drones, and a multitude of balls made of different materials, mostly soft metals, and hardwood. The drones will follow you around and shoot at you as you run at a constant pace without stopping."
Before Will could continue Tim interrupted " Are you serious? How stupid do you think I am? "
Will let out a long sigh, interrupting Tim's rant. " This will put you under the most stress possible so that when you are unable to run anymore and are in complete pain and complete disarray you then unconsciously dip into your mana to fortify your body and to provide energy for use."
Tim was about to have a heart attack from just listening to what was to come. " Are you a masochist. " Tim stuttered.
Will laughed. "Did I mention that the drones shoot more frequent the more you slow down?"
Tim felt light headed when he heard this. "How did no one notice you getting chased by the drones?" Tim said as he tried not to fall over.
Will thought for a second before answering " Well I had to run through the woods or everyone would think I was a weirdo." They had to run through the park, there were no nearby woods in the city where the academy was located. They were stopped many times by people thinking that they were actually under attack. It lasted for about two hours. They then returned to their dorms to rest for their first classes that began the next day.
Will woke up at around 6:00 A.M., he then prepared for the academy like he did for junior academy and dressed in a cloak and jeans. He then read his schedule:
1^st - History (Room 10) 8:00 A.M to 9:00 A.M
2^nd - Geography (Room 11) 9:30 A.M to 10:30 A.M
3^rd - Magic Principal (Room 21) 11:00 A.M to 12:00 A.M
Lunch Period
4^th - Exercise (Room 01) 2:00 P.M to 3:00 P.M
5^th - Bodybuilding (Room 02) 3:30 P.M to 4:30 P.M

6^th - Swordplay (Room 03) 6:00 P.M to 7:00 P.M
Will arrived at Room 10 an hour before the class actually started. He was extremely nervous, his dad didn't teach him anything that would be taught in the academy. That included Geography, History, and Magical Principal. Every time Will asked anything involving these subjects, Shawn would say, "You will learn in the academy.", and they would move on to another subject. Needless to say, this was the day that Will was the most nervous.
The instructor arrived an hour later. " Okay class, today we will just be going over what we will be going over later in the year. First on the criteria will be the dark era, then the warring eras, and then semi-modern era. I expect you all to give it your all." The instructor then began to describe what her expectations of everyone were. This is also one of the few classes that each person is required to take.
Will then returned to his dorm to put up the notes he took. He also checked to see if the drones were still charging. He then headed to Geography class. He met Tim at the door.
" Well, it appears we have at least one class together," Tim said with a chuckle, he was too sore to laugh.
" Prepare to eat as fast as you can at lunch. Will said with a sly grin.
"Oh, there is no problem about that, I'm still not used to going without breakfast," Tim said with a pout.
Will let out a loud laugh startling most of the people in the hallway." good, get ready for more training."
Tim let out a shudder " Masochist" Tim whispered as they entered the class.
" All right class I will get straight to the point. We will be going over the geography of Blutsturm, if you haven't heard of this nation then raise your hand." Half of the class raised their hand. "looks like I have my worked cut out for me, Blutsturm is the name of the nation you live in. It is then surrounded with a ten thousand kilometer danger zone known as the Dark Zone. then we have the closest nation to us known as Feuer Meer, their main economy is forging and medicines. That concludes today's short lesson. I will spend the rest of the class forming a lesson plan." There was a lot of time left so Will asked Tim what classes he had.
"Just wait until I reach a higher rank than you, you will then not be able to even regret it." Tim thought to himself as he handed Will his schedule. It read :
1^st - Weapon maintaining (Room 12) 8:00 A.M to 9:00 A.M
2^nd - Geography (Room 11) 9:30 A.M to 10:30 A.M
3^rd - Weapon crafting (Room 13) 11:00 A.M to 12:00 A.M
Lunch Period
4^th - Armor maintaining (Room 14) 2:00 P.M to 3:00 P.M
5^th - Armor Repair (Room 15) 3:30 P.M to 4:30 P.M
6^th - Resource Management (Room 15) 6:00 P.M to 7:00 P.M
" Wow, our classes are completely different," Will said as he passed Tim back his schedule and grabbed his stuff.
" Let's meet up at lunch since our next classes since our next classes are no were near each other," Tim said with a chuckle as he still plotted against Will.
" Sure, but make sure you save me a seat," Will said as he rushed back to his dorm to put up the notes he took in geography and grab a new notebook. Will made it to room 21 with five minutes to spare. Let's check the Celestial system:
Tabs:
Injuries
Skills
Maps
Main:
Name: Willenstark Kraft-Will
Strength : 6
Agility : 7
Intelligence : 9
Charisma : 2
Luck : -7
Mana : 22

Vitality : 10
Endurance : 10
" Well, there are no new changes yet. I wonder...." Will attempted to open the maps tab but received nothing in response. " Well, I guess I will check it on a daily basis to help determine what I need to focus on," Will said to himself as the instructor walked into the classroom.
"Okay class, today we are going to go over what we will be going over in Magic Principal in this year. We will, and I repeat, we will not be doing any actual spellcasting. The main goal of this class is to help you understand how to cast spells effectively and the logic behind the spells we will be casting." Will grew excited. yes, if magic is something that relies on logic and not instinct then absolutely can't fail. Will thought determinedly as he spent the entire class period coping notes. When the bell rung he grabbed his stuff and headed to the cafeteria.

Again from Scratch Saga: Izmittor Unchained
If someone precious to you needed your help, would you extend it? Would you still do it if it costs you your peace and perhaps even your life? For Tercius, a man mysteriously reborn nearly thirteen years ago, there was only one answer to both questions. Feeling compelled, he sets out to journey to the northern Sogea and its infamous Western Izmittor mountain range, a natural stronghold of sky tearing mountains and deep canyons. Legends about the place abounded, but he knew without a doubt that the hidden valleys, rushing rivers, thick forests, and desolate landscapes hid powerful predators, the likes of which stalk the harsh terrains for an easy source of meat and bones. The many natural dangers of Western Izmittor would be hard enough to navigate safely for a lone traveler, but to make matters worse Tercius had enemies in the heights of Western Izmittor, humans and spirits who would see him dead if they ever learned of his true connection to the Pyramid of Tergaron and the Society of the Magi. To make things even more difficult, he also had to ensure that the true extent of his own Innate Skills remained hidden, for if the prying eyes of the world fell on him and his many secrets came to light, then he would never again know a day of peace. Can one reborn man manage to keep his secrets and still succeed in doing what his conscience compels him to? Will he have to choose one over the other? And can he do any of it without reigniting the sparks of a planetary war the likes of which had not been seen in millennia? Follow Tercius’ story and find out! *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** This story is a continuation of Again from Scratch, a story of mine also posted on RR.

That Scottish Play
This is a very silly and cringey parody of Shakespeare's Macbeth. The play format will be kept consistent throughout. Unless you enjoy cringing so hard you experience physical pain, I'd suggest avoiding this work. However, as the level of cringe is only slightly less than that of the office, any fans of that show may enjoy this work. (I believe, as a parody, this work is protected from copyright by fair use, additionally, Shakespeare is in the public domain so it doesn't fall under copyright in the first place. If I'm wrong please let me know)
