"So, Nicolette," you say as you stuff your mouth full of noodles, "what exactly does it take to become a knight, anyways?"
"Hm?" Nicolette swallows her food and turns to you. "Nothing really specific, you just need to show the King that you have what it takes. Vincent got knighted like the second that Thierri became King, but I don't exactly have it quite as easy..."
"Huh," you reply. "Because you're working your way up from the bottom?"
"Yeah... it's honestly a pain in the ass, I'd probably be at the skill level necessary if not for all the guard bullshit that I have to put up with every day," Nicolette sighs.

"That's why I don't really get why she's bothering with the Royal Guard," Sylvie chimes in. "But she's so stubborn..."
"I'm sure that your mother's proud of you, though," you say.
"She's happy that I've made it this far, but she still thinks it's a massive waste of time," Nicolette replies, shrugging.

With that out of the way, the three of you resume devouring your food.

>wanting to put the D anywhere near the Princess
What's wrong with all you people? It's been semi-agreed upon since forever that's a bad idea.

>>27782913
Only when she was younger. Remember, she thought Luciana was a guy.

>>27782890
we can never have the princess. -_-
BUT we can at least help make her into a nicer person the people will love and rally to.
i'm still in the sylvie waifu camp.

>>27782916
No, it was only considered a bad idea because of status issues but then the king turned out to be a total bro who would let her marry for love in a heart beat.

>>27782913
you never know. She could be bi

>>27782913

You mean the tomboy who did all of that under the impression Luciana was a guy?

>>27782896
not going after the dancing teacher, pleab

>>27782916
It was argued that it might have been a bad idea until the king said he doesn't care who his daughter marries as long as she is in love. After that the only real argument was that people might get mad, but that is reaching in my opinion.

>>27782932
While this is true I don't know why anyone could seriously consider her over Nicolette or Sylvie.

>>27782938
And still seems to have a bit of a crush on her.

>>27782916
they just want to bring it up whenever they get a chance.

majority still want to friend zone her

>>27782913
She thought Lucinana was a guy.

Besides her mother already approves of us

>>27782913
Knowing harem manga logic, she's bi. Therefore, we should go for the threesome route with Sylvie

>>27782928
i chalk that up to being young and dumb about genders. she knows now it was wrong and that whole point is a glaring embarrasment to her. let it go.

>>27782928
Only when she didn't like us and before we knew her father wanted her to marry for love

>>27782957
Because she's interesting. She's actually developing as a character compared to the others and I like that and want to be a part of it.

>>27782975
arch already stated any harem route would end in a long suffering bad end quest.

>>27782507

That is quite obviously a table.

Let's discuss practical applications of magic instead of the current matter.
How useful would the ability to make sharp objects be in the event of a fight?

>>27783048
He says that it is slightly based in reality so harems will be impossible, or hard as hell to manage and will be bound to collapse quickly.
So the best we can get is one route for love interest and the rest be friend zoned.

>>27783112
So for the harem end we need to become more strong than the king, sir vincent, sir gregory, nico's mom and everyone else.

That would be fun.

>>27783112
that wasn't a challenge it was a fact.

the closest harem fags can get to a harem end is by finding that dragoness and her minions.

>>27783137
Not very. Unless we're disarmed and have no weapons some crappy hunks of metal would be more or less useless. That's assuming we even get that far along with magic.

>>27783137
Fuck that. I'd rather take waifu's over another powergaming shitstorm.

How about we just sit quietly until the update?

>>27783219
But her husband has always been alive. There's a reason why Nicolette didn't want us to find out who it was.

So, /tg/ either has the shortest attention span ever or people just only talk about their waifus when they show up.

It was all Sylvie during the whole crush jokes on our day off. Then it was all princess yesterday, now everyone is talking Nico.

>Implying we actually have a choice when the princess has the most problems and the most screen time and will get way more character development, popularity, and opportunity because of this

>>27783247
If don't pick her route its either him or the would be spy, and having him and her end up together would cause a funny shitstorm.

>>27783234
she will be on her 70's-80's by the time she is crowned queen.

the kingdom has fallen by then.

>>27783154
Are... are you new here? This is /tg/. When we're told something's unlikely, that the odds are stacked against us, we accept it as a challenge to defeat those odds, to make the improbable a reality. When told "Be realistic. It can't be done," we shatter reality with a cry of "Who the hell do you think we are?!"

Magic users age slowly. Nico's mom looks like she could be her sister or something like that.

>>27783266
People have been advocating those three since they appeared with a few whimpers for the maid and dragons.
As far as we know sylvie likes us the most, the princess is the second and nicolette is last and considers us a friend.

>>27783288
That's the hidden Real Ending.

>>27783277
Then our waifu's hand gets chopped off and we get scared again. That kind of thinking is the bane of every semirealistic quest.

>>27783305
I still believe in shocking come-from-behind victory for glorious maid.

>>27783277
If you are familiar with Valkyrian Mercs Quest, we were told we'd need a miracle to go against canon and save someone. When the moment of truth came along two of three rolls were nat 20s. We take the odds, and spit in their face.

>>27783399
It's okay, anon, we can always fade to black or be in a celibate relationship.

The only time Reinhold and Takamura will get hot, bothered, and sweaty, will be when they go a couple of rounds in the name of bettering their fighting styles. And then there will be all of the showers.

Hey arc I'm just letting you know that we all realize Gregory is Nicolette's daughter, we can bring it up or not but just letting you know our character isn't a complete and total idiot.

>>27783473
you're already talking about it

>>27783483
nicol has a crush on Gregory now.

>>27783483
Wait... the fuck?

W-What?

>>27783503
I imagine he's sitting there with disgust and amusement. That or writing still.

Shut up shut up you all know what I meant don't hurt my feelings it's late I'm going to bed.

Theres nothin wrong with rasstlin your best bud on the couch to see whos stronger
(I usually ended up on top)

"So, I ran into Melanie this morning..." you begin.
"Hm?" Nicolette turns to you. "Isn't that normal? I mean, she's assigned to Marianne."
"No, this was in the hallway," you explain. "Ended up helping her carry some books to Niklaus's lab."
"...he didn't try anything weird with her, did he?" Nicolette asks.
"No, she got away pretty quickly. He did try to get me to help him with some crystal experiment or something, though... he seems kind of off."
"Yeah, I get worried that he's gonna sprout tentacles or something when I'm around him for too long."

"Hm? He's not that bad," Sylvie says. "He's kind of eccentric, but he's really smart and he's always happy to help me out when I ask."
"Oh ho?" Nicolette turns to Sylvie, a sly grin on her face. "So now you're crushing on Niklaus instead?"
"That's not even funny, Nicolette," Sylvie sighs. "Anyways, it might be useful to get to know him, Reinhold. He knows all kinds of spells, and I'm sure he'd teach you about magic if you asked."

Arc just hasn't been using properly alluring images, and we haven't given her much screen time, not to mention half the scenes she IS in she doesn't get a character portrait because another character overrides her (having low theme song priority is suffering). She's just biding her time for an exciting 4th quarter comeback.

>>27783497
>>27783483
Wait she has a crush on her own daughter?

>>27783534
it's been mentioned a few times that they are descended from the royal line.

>>27783549
we need to spam this thread with maid, princesses, glass wearing girls with books, and fighter girls in armor and spears then so he can get more images in his files.

>>27783550
She has a crush on her own daughter who is a man and is older than her, yes.

Glad we cleared that up.

>>27783534
When we had a day off and we caught the spy from Manicotti or whatever.

Gregory came in and it was painfully obvious that he was Nicolette's father. Dispite that, no one mentioned it and everyone allowed Nicolette to hide her father's identity for a dozen threads. I'm clearing it up now because I find it a fact of moderate importance.

Basically, Gregory was way too familiar and kind and fatherly towards a young girl in the guard. If he isn't her dad then he's fucking her, and I find that extraordinarily unlikely.

Yeah Sylvie mentioned Nico was royalty too, but yeah whatever. We have overwhelming evidence.

>>27783532
>I'm sure he'd teach you about magic if you asked.
"Honestly? I'd rather keep learning from you. Power is one thing, personality is another, and I much prefer your company."

>>27783563
True, but i'm talking about his reasoning about Gregory.

>>27783577
Or he can be her uncle, or something similar to that anon.

>>27783532
"He made it pretty clear he isn't interested in teaching us really simple things, and I'm inclined to agree. As the court mage he's probably busy with extremely important business, and honestly I'd rather learn from someone like you who won't try to do some really freaky experiments on me in exchange for that knowledge..."

>>27783590
Nah. We debunked that a while ago as well. We think she's the daughter of the king's older brother who's still adventuring.

>>27783618
Sounds better than the other one.

>>27783590
we just need some clearifcation with our QM about Gregory's relation with the girls.

>>27783624
BUT YOU'RE FUCKING WRONG. SHE'S DISTANT ROYALTY, ARC USED THE WORD DISTANT.

DON'T FUCKING MAKE ME STAY UP TO DO THIS AGAIN.

ASK SYLVIE LATER IF GREGORY IS HER FATHER, WE AREN'T FUCKING GOING AROUND ASSUMING SOME STUPID SHIT.

>>27783624
No, it was that that was debunked. The Gregory thing is much more likely.

>>27783532
>sprout tentacles or something

we should learn that spell for reasons.

>>27783618
This, but mention it that we will try to learn from him when we think we are competent enough.

FUCK THIS
I'M OUT
ENJOY YOUR AUTISTIC SPERGLORD SHITSTAIN OF A PLAYERBASE, ARCHELON

Friendly reminder...

To Do List:

Cheer up Marianne (Don't be so hard on yourself, that sort of thing, we've already established that we like her and that we're nice)
Sylvie's magic lesson (Focus on learning a few new spells, take her recommendations rather than focusing on something like a metal spell because even Nikalus said that beginner mages always make that mistake)
Go to Armory (Scrolls are there, so are masterwork swords and a bunch of sidearms and just generally useful shit that we should get before going to Manicotti)

>>27783793
The irony.

>>27783532

"He actually told me that you'd be a better fit for showing me the basics," you reply.
"R- really?" Sylvie stares at you, her face slowly turning red. "Um- he actually thinks that I'd do a good job at-" she stammers.
"I guess so?" you reply, shrugging. "He mentioned you taking out all of the beginner books, and told me to rely on you for that stuff because he wasn't interested in that stuff."
"Oh... oh wow..."

Sylvie covers her face in an attempt to hide the wide grin that's formed on her face, but Nicolette notices anyways.

"Now look who's all happy and shit because she got praised," Nicolette teases, nudging Sylvie on the shoulder.
"Q- quit it, Nicolette..." Sylvie mumbles.
"...anyways, are we on for magic lessons tonight?" you ask.
"Yeah, of course!" Sylvie replies happily.
"And maybe I can sketch Nicolette in her new dress afterwards..."
"Quit talking about that unless you want to get hit," Nicolette replies, scowling. "My ribs still hurt from that corset that my Mom had me wear, and the damned thing fits fine without it so there was no fucking point at all," she grumbles.

>[2/3]

>>27783809
I was worried I was the only one to pick up on that.

>>27783797
>Go to Armory (Scrolls are there, so are masterwork swords and a bunch of sidearms and just generally useful shit that we should get before going to Manicotti)
Fuck no how many threads do we have to go through before you fucks get the idea, i'm okay with getting a few scrolls, but no arming up.

>>27783797
I support all of this.

>>27783772
He's not, he's her dad.

He smirked when talking about Nicolette trying on a dress.

That alone should raise the biggest flag ever. Gregory never smirks. Gregory and Nicolette are both 'distant' royalty. Gregory is her dad, just ask Sylvie during the magic lesson. If he isn't then no harm done right?

>>27783680
True.

We do need to remember to burn all that mana.

>>27783797
Lets not do the armory thing and instead replace it with drawing./reading
Also we can always get the scrolls later.

>>27783830
>>27783809
That makes three of us.

>>27783797
Didnt whatsisname say our sword is pretty amazing?
Seems that getting another one would be sort of pointless unless its enchanted.

>>27783831
>>27783847
Drawing is not a useful skill. Please guys think about it, we're going to a place filled with powerful mages and dragons and we'll have to guard Marianne in an enclosed space with hundreds of people around her.

If we take her safety seriously we have to do our best to arm up and generally be in our top shape for that ball.

It makes sense, right? It is our job after all.

>>27783886
A man can have hobbies. We don't need to be all business all the time, leisure activities are good for our happiness and mental health.

>>27783886
Our sword is fine, scrolls are a no brainier,

>>27783797
Cheer up Marianne (if she is still upset only)
Sylvie's magic lesson
Train with Nicolette
Read/Sketch
Explore the castle.

Our sword is at best of equal quality to the worst sword in the King's Armory.

I heard arc say it was great but we can't be attached to a sword, it's about the one wielding it. We can keep ours as a training and backup sword after we learn how to use the fucking +5 flame sword the King would give us because we're protecting the heir to the throne.

>>27783886
We already are pretty armed. Our clothes have shit tons of magic and our own sword is awesome.
Stop trying to do unnecessary things.

>>27783886
Our sword is already great and arming up with a few scrolls won't be difficult.

Stop powergaming and let the main character have his hobby instead of turning him into a cardboard cut-out bodyguard.

>>27783886
Scrolls are good, but we have had this discussion and archelon straight up telling us that arming up is not needed numerous times.

>>27783914
I'm voting we stop or tone down the sketching. Reading is just as refined and healthy and will teach us useful knowledge. We need knowledge (and dancing lessons to improve our footwork) more than we need artistic ability.

>>27783918
We literally got told by Arnaud that we had something great and didn't need to replace it.

>not wanting to be warrior-poets
I seriously hope you guys don't do this.

>>27783930
Our sword is adequate and our clothes aren't even as good protection as full plate.

We can't settle for being adequate when a dragon assassin goes for our charge.

>>27783950
Stop. Being. A. Powergaming. Faggot.

Let the man have his hobby.

>>27783950
It was stated that artistic ability helped with magic anon.

>>27783950
Am I the only one that thinks we should go and try to take a private dancing lesson, so as to get better when with the princess? It would also be good practice for our footwork, which we need to work on according to arnaud.

>>27783970
In that case we Sanctuary. Or at least attempt to slow it down.

>>27783797
>Armory
>Scrolls
>Scroll of "Spirit Field"
So... if we cast this in an emergency... say in a room where we are surrounded by like, people armed with metal, would the swords and armor and all things metal come flying at us?

>>27783932
>>27783956
>>27783941
But you guys are fucking wrong. We have a sword which is inexplicably of high quality (we got it as an 8 year old urchin so I'm still not believing this) but still inferior to a million others.

Why the fuck wouldn't we take the benefits of our station as one of the most important guards in the entire kingdom?

>>27783970
Archelon has asked people in both his threads and on the twitter to stop powergaming and has already told us, through characters in the story, that we already have a good enough sword and armor.

Cut it out.

>>27783950
But I like our sketching

That's OOC as fuck. He hates being with the old lady.

>>27783970
>Our sword is adequate and our clothes aren't even as good protection as full plate.
1.Our sword was stated to be of equal quality of any sword in the armory and can be enchanted if we paid some one to do that.
2.Our clothes are enchanted to be the best for our fighting style, by the best mage in the kingdom.

>>27783979
Except that's fucking wrong. I've scraped the archives and just finished re-reading them.

Don't make shit up. Getting lessons, reading about it, and practicing help. Nothing else.

>>27783997
We already tried this. The same with getting new armor.

We were outright told we've already got the best the kingdom has to offer.

>>27783980
This, i'm ok with.
We also need to work on our breathing and sword holding skills.

>>27783970
We're not wearing fucking full plate to the ball. Arnaud is taking care of arrangements for acquiring something sufficiently fancy for ball and I'm sure he'll ensure that it's protective as well.

Our sword is just fine, unless we stumble across one of the Sealed Kings there's pretty much no reason to trade it in.

>>27784001
Prove it please. Quote it because I've seen literally no evidence of what you're saying.
>>27784006
Okay then get it enchanted. Hurry up.

QUESTION:
are scrolls affected by our element?
like, if we casted "stone wall" we'd get a metallic one. What would happen if we used a scroll of stone wall?

>>27784010
It's supposed to help visualize or something.

I don't have a waifu, just think that Sylvie is a good match. I blame Fire Emblem.

>>27783797
Not opposed to any of this in theory, but giving Marianne some space would be a good thing. The last confrontation was caused by not respecting her boundaries, and while everything went better than expected it won't always. Being attentive and honest going forward is the safest route, while we give her time to open up of her own initiative or for an opening to appear.

You want me to go back pull the fucking quote dipshit? Getting a better sword will come later, when and if it is need. Fuck you people can hardly just enjoy the fucking quest.

This anon covered it >>27784005

>>27784027
>>27783980
>Waifuing Pauline

pig disgusting.

>>27783997
Because we were outright told by 2 different people that our sword is of equal quality of any in the armory.

>>27784036
Then get better daggers, get more scrolls, do something, because arc is going to do something at the ball and if we aren't prepared the King is going to fucking murder us himself.

Might as well say it now.

There is no point in going full Operator. Reinhold's equipment is enchanted to be as good as it gets, and his sword is better than anything in the armory. I try to put this stuff in-story, but that apparently doesn't work so I'm saying it again OOC.

Sketching isn't an entirely worthless hobby, feel free to draw things if you want. It might help, it might not. But it certainly won't hurt anything.

Reading is also a good idea, that's how you learn things.

Now I go help my moron sister move a car, and then it's back to
>writing

>>27784010
For magic you need to imagine it and it was implied being artistic helped.(did you read the whole thread or what only archelon posted?)

>>27784053
That's wrong. You're thinking something about Script, which is a conceptualization of the magical language.

>>27784082

You heard the man, people. Now quit the bitching and let him write.

>>27784082
Thank you, arch.

>>27784070
Good fucking lord do you guys not listen to what we are saying.

>>27784082
Make up a story about how we got the sword because there's no fucking way a child urchin was able to find a sword out of thin air that's better than literally everything in the King's armory. It would've gotten stolen immediately.

It makes no fucking sense.

>>27784082
Thank you Archelon for the calcification's, probably ain't going to stop them.

>>27784037
Who would enchant?

>>27784082
This is about what it will take to get your points into people's heads.

Now let's learn some magic from the earnest young lewd mage, since our swordsmanship won't get any better until we find people on our level.

>>27784082
Then I think we should keep sketching, reading and magic learning in our downtime.

>>27784118
well of course he fucking is
give the man some time

>>27784123
>calcification's
Autocorrect?

>>27784123
Don't worry it was pretty much just me. Back to bed. (Note the lack of posts supporting my case now)

>>27784058
He doesn't hate her anon, he just finds it awkward as hell to be around older looking women(past trama?)
>>27784060
Nah, but we need to work on our foot work and learn how to dance.

>>27784082
>>27784037
OH SHIT NUQQA YOU JUST BEEN TOOOOLD!!!

>>27784118
Maybe he has a story planned, shit like that doesn't come out in the first fuckin chapters of story. So chill the fuck out.
>>27784147
Maybe, likely to blame little sleep this week.

>>27784058
But it would be in his character to try and improve on his technique, even if he finds it mildly unpleasant.

>>27784118
It was stated that we value the sword allot so it was probably our old masters sword.

>>27784133
I think the proper adjective to use for her is "ero-kawaii"

>>27784133
There is still nicolette and we need to solve our big three problems right now.
Foot work(maybe dancing)
Breathing(no idea how we can fix this one)
Sword holding(ask one of the knights about this one)

>>27784202
>Breathing

Meditation. That's all about proper breathing.

>>27784056
Luciana!!!!

>>27784212
We don't need to meditate anymore as far as i know.

>>27784224
I'm saying it would help with our breathing. Not our magic.

>>27784212
Oh, very true.

>>27784212
Find a river or lake and practice swimming under water.

>>27784249
But Anon... What if there's carp in the river?
Won't they eat us

>>27784278
That would make excellent(If exceedingly dangerous) practice. We'd probably die anyways.

>>27784212
>>27784249
>>27784237
>>27784230
>>27784224
2:2 breathing rate or 3:2.
Swimming works for breathing.

>>27784249
i can just see it now, while practicing our breathing in a lake we meet a water elemental and form a contract with it
then we can cast water and alkali metal explosion

>>27784202
>Foot work(maybe dancing)
You're right that dancing might help with footwork, but we should also do some sparring either with someone on our level (Nicolette?) or maybe vs a group/with a handicap if we're short on people with equal skill.

>Breathing(no idea how we can fix this one)
Meditation like >>27784212 suggested, or maybe endurance training (laps around the castle!)

>Sword holding(ask one of the knights about this one)
He specifically noted that our grip was loose, so maybe some sort of sword drills for that?

>>27784316
Unless there's a swimming pool nearby we could probably settle for jogging.

>>27784316
Also a new place to take friends on our next day off.

Reinhold will have the most puritan swimwear of all.

>>27784338
>>27784336
So wither running/meditating for our breathing.
For foot work dancing and training.
For our sword holding it would be drills or asking the knights for pointers.

>>27784348
Actually, given his upbringing I'm betting either underclothes or nude for swimming.

>>27784082
So will the time skip thread happen next thread, since i remember you telling us that it will start by the end of this day.

>>27784378
We could also replace our sword grip with shark skin for super-no-let-go mode.

>>27784386
>>27784348
Its probably either nude or just our pants and nothing else.

I really hope Archelon just incorporates a lot of this magic and sword training stuff into our time-skip and gets a lot of it over with. This micro-managing is kind of a drag.

>>27784394
He said he'd call a vote. I kind of want to hold off a day more to see Marianne make her first awkward steps to not being so tsun instead of seeing the result of two weeks getting used to it but whatever.

>>27783819
>[3/3]

"Oh yeah..." you begin, "did you ever have magic classes with the Princess? She said that she knows how to use magic, so I was wondering why she doesn't take classes in it now."
"Uh, I started learning magic pretty late..." Sylvie begins, "but I think she learned with Nicolette?" she says, turning to Nicolette.
"Ugh, why did you have to bring that up..." Nicolette sighs. "Yeah, we learned how to use it back when were like eight or something. If she's not taking lessons now, maybe it's because she doesn't have any interest in it? That's how it was with me, anyways," she says, shrugging.
"I don't know why, I'm sure that both of you have talent in it..." Sylvie pouts.
"We can't all be magic nerds like you, Sylvie," Nicolette replies.

Instead of replying to that comment, Sylvie focuses on eating. The two of you take her lead, and you're all finished before long.

"Alright..." Sylvie stands up and stretches, "are you ready for your next magic lesson?"

>yeah, let's go
>wait, I'd like to do something else first

>>27784430
There was stated to be 3 or 4 good methods to do it, i can post them if you want.

>>27784202
Sword grip? Sketching. Find a statue or other model, make a sketch then copy the position with your own hands.

>>27784451
Let's do it.

>>27784451
>yeah, let's go

MAGIC TIME!

>>27784451
>yeah, let's go

>>27784451
Alright lets go

>>27784451
>>yeah, let's go
>>27784459
Which is why i suggested asking the knights for pointers.

>>27784451
>>yeah, let's go

>>27784451
let's go
jokingly ask her when we can start blowing up things

>>27784451
hell yes
its time for us to cast some metal spells

>>27784336
the foot work, well, dancing might help but ask about that.
the breathing, i am sure it's about endurance. we need to do jogging. (be sure to wash up after ward before meeting the princess)
and sword holding, well it might be about grip strength as well as style. the latter we'll have to ask about.

>>27784451
Ask nicolette on when can we do the sketches and also ask sylvie, then go along with the lessons.

>>27784451
>yeah, let's go
Don't forget to bid farewell to Nico.

>>27784451
One step closer to unlimited blade works.

>>27784451
>>yeah, let's go

I still think it would be good to verify the dad thing at some point just to be 100% certain.

>>27784348
swim wear in this age probably means our underwear. i am SURE the girls and maids will want to watch us swim if this is so. give them an eye full!

>>27784513
yeah, that too, but make sure to mention that the sketch is her's to keep and she can do whatever she wants with it.

>>27784451
>>wait, I'd like to do something else first
schedule our next spar with Nico, but otherwise, we're good to go

>>27784537
I wonder if we have any scars or tattoos.

>>27784537
I'm eagerly awaiting the point where Nic and Sylvie get in the pool. Then we just rip off all our clothes, strike a pose in all our glory with hands on our hips, and then purposely stride into the water. There will be nose-bleeds or many cries of lewdity.

>>27784513
>>27784547
These two works for me.

>>27784451
>yeah, let's go
also
"to make this even up the training, maybe we can alternate between Sylvie teaching me and sparing with you Nico?"

>>27784568
I would actually like for a misunderstanding to happen because of our upbringing, it is weird that we know all this stuff about etiquette already,But knowing the players they would either steer clear of the situation or be on guard duty.

>>27784594
We're not going to get a lot better fighting those on the same level as us. We need to fight tougher opponents.

>>27784557
no tattoos, but probably a few scars. [spoilers] some of those scars are not on us phyical [/spoiler]
>>27784568
our MC probably knows how to swim, he lived by the sea, Sylvie and Nico might not be able to swim.

>>27784636
or many at once

>>27784636
Swordbutler offered to help us improve, and he's basically world class.

We should be fine.

>>27784637
And then swimming lessons

>>27784636
Nico IS a tough opponent! she almost beat us last time! and Sylvie has plently of spells to teach us.

>>27784496
Remember how arch was just going over how exasperating it was to say things in character and have people not get the message? Just because Reinhold has an elemental affinity does not mean he should focus on that element exclusively, or that he'll be GOOD with metal spells.

It just cuts the casting cost.

>writing

>>27784637
I was thinking of a brand or something similar since he lived in a brothel.
So how many scars do we have?

>>27784671
we are just beginners who haven't even casted their first elemental spell
i'm pretty sure an earth spell is a good place to start since it is our affinity

>>27784671
And just because we need to branch out doesn't mean we shouldn't start with spells that come easiest to us due to affinity.

We've had this argument before. It was decided we should just shut up and stick to Sylive's lesson plan because she knows better on what a beginner should learn than us.

>>27784710
One massive one in the center of our chest shaped like a sword.

damn I keep missing these theads

>>27784719
That's probably for the best, really. The dam has burst and the autism is flowing freely.

>>27784714
I think we should go with Sylvie's lessons, because she's far more knowledgeable about this sort of thing.

>>27784717
Right.

>>27784718
I was thinking of lash scars or something similar.

>>27784744
The flood dried up, but yeah the power gaming guys calmed down.

>>27784710
Speaking of brands, has Archelon mentioned slavery in this world?

>>27784785
i think so, but not in this/nearby countries

>>27784785
I think he said not on this continent.

>>27784745
>I think we should go with Sylvie's lessons, because she's far more knowledgeable about this sort of thing.

Agreed. Maybe we will actually learn a new spell if we quit sperging out over learning how to get metal skin and shit.

>>27784785
It probably does, and has both types of slavery.

>>27784785
IIRC that country thats building up its military still does the whole slavery thing, and its neighours don't look kindly upon it?

>>27784830
Yes.

>>27784451
so just the two of us or invite Nicolette to come along

>>27784859
Invite her. Never a bad thing

>>27784830
north korea ya.

>>27784785
Yes, one country (Ancelotti, I think it was called?) still has a huge slave trade. Tensions are nearing all out war because it's neighbors (us included) don't like that at all.

Archelon, archive!

>>27784785
Slavery's a thing, yeah. Granache and Marconetti are not cool with it, and execute anyone found buying/selling/owning slaves on sight. Ancellotta is all about that slave trade though, which is the primary source of conflict between it and its neighbors.

As for scars on Reinhold, he doesn't have any lash scars, the boss used his pimp hand to keep dem bitches in check. And no branding, since that goes into slavery territory. He kept the girls around through basic fear and the lack of any better opportunities in town for his stable of whores.

>>27784894
i hope those slave warriors aren't as powerful as rumors say they would.

>>27784947
Mameluks bitch.

I'm sure its just propaganda's lies all of it.
