COI C6

This school has been renamed just like the other schools they heard. Their methods of changing things made their reasons, however the people who once knew its name kept it. Hojo Highschool is still in place from the other schools. It is another day for the students to live their education for the fullest, while Haw and Ironno being greeted immensely as they are asking for any type of skills where the students want to learn.

"Teacher, can you teach us like one of these?"

They show them a bunch of lists that they never comprehend, by the phrase of Justice, Power, pose into the oblivion, and much more coming from a certain guild who actually do that.

"What in the rotten skulls, Haw, are they really from the city guild’s skills?"

"I don't know, why not ask them?"

"Blasted, I'll just see it next week"

Ironno couldn't have the mind to understand those gestures, techniques or whatever is called as abilities and magic. Just like them, their world's way of magic is too different from one of theirs. Haw and Ironno only whisper about it

"And these students are the future weapons of this city"

"Not all, you Kinker, these people will probably become even more than what I see in this city"

"I couldn’t imagine it"

"Maybe in their world, you Kinker, but let this city thrive on their own"

Haw as a substitute teacher rarely to be part of the training, because of the school's service have better staff to work on. He can only do is being the teacher's assistant or housekeeper if he is needed. Ironno is planning to do with Myrrkei's mission about the situation, he never expected of how mana overproduce here, and for some reason where a specific type of mana managed the dark entity to circulate itself. Haw is now being the assistant in the Chemistry Lab to handle the new forms of substance they are trying to formulate. He has some knowledge of it, and he is ordered to do it by Andui's request.

Unknown materials being placed where the students lay watch of the substance being handled, and Haw seeing them handling them with magic only benefits in the region.

"Ok class, these are the kinds of rock in Kinteinou. Be careful of finding these in the forest. Now my assistant will show you how it is"

Haw entered himself to the lab table and the rocks he introduced. Haw commences the experiment while the chemist teacher explains. Haw picks some kind of chalk white stone crushed it into smaller pieces then once its turn into dust. He grabs a handful and blow it to the air and the Chemist teacher lights it up.

While mid-air, the dust starts to form shape and the Chemist Teacher uses a summoning spell. He added to his own touch. Puff looking creature as it floats along with the dust.

"Alright Haw, let me show them the rest. Now Cloud, present yourself to the class"

The puff, a round furry creature with only its eyes shown, shows itself in the front. Now dust starts to shines as the puff itself enjoying the dust's magic. The markings appear and the students see what they saw.

"Teacher! that's!"

"Yeah, it's one of the materials for crafting scrolls. These chalks can be drawn to make spells, and my assistant will explain the rest"

Haw moves back a bit from the creature, colluded by the chemist teacher that he had to confront alongside in the middle of magic will appear from the dust. Hearing them saying chalks that he must be careful to follow their terms,

"These chalks are for writing spells. The scrolls can be one of the examples, and it can be use as temporary guidelines for crafting as well"

Haw introduces the summoned creature who is still covered by the white dust. It started to disappear, and Haw wasn't amused by it except the students. He turns to the chemist teacher and whisper to him

"Invisibility? Or may it can do it itself without the dust. When it's come to body contact, at least make it enduring"

The chemist teacher did it purposely because he wants to know the difference between the effects. He understands that the dust has no drawbacks when got exposed. Haw brought out an empty vile from the back before he got here. He writes it with a chalk.

"Teacher, can you cast any magic on this vile"

"It's a test tube, Haw"

He ignores the chemist teacher by its term. The students didn't see them argue and only focus on the invisible creature, but Haw asked for another example.

"Sigh* Alright, hope you guys could see him here"

Haw place the right pressure to carve the vile, and he writes the basic seals.

The chemist teacher casts a weak spell on it, and Haw let the vile exposed it then place his fingertips and scratch it with a bit of sparks with every scratch. Written in only Horsin words, he writes as 'it called'. Then he gives it to the chemistry teacher, and he was amazed through his eyes

"He did writes this small fragile of a glass"

He then shares it to the students while he talks to Haw.

"Is there many more using these chalks?"

"It's commonly used by the Gobins or Goblins by your terms. The most common used of goblin writings, it's not safe to use it on powerful spells when most times you can erase, change, vandalize it"

The chemistry teacher understood, and ask him again.

"Then there's a better one like it"

Haw nodded and told him.

"If you know the word Philch, the people who are in Stranding Island will likely help you out. Word on advice, the Philch is colored bright red same properties with chalks"

"Yeah got it, Philch, then what you people called these chalks then?"

"It's Lch"

The chemistry teacher takes notes and planning more in the future when he can find more other kinds of rocks outside of the city. The students finished observing the marked vile and return to Haw, and then he gave it to the chemistry teacher.

"See the magic and observe the effects of the chalk"

He casts some easy spell like lightning, and Haw gives a strong look as it touches to the vile and said to him

"Lightning! you got to be . . ."

The vile glows and absorb it and started to shine by the small writings 'It called'. The vile starts to flow the glass from the sparks while Haw held it to his hand. Strange phenomenon echoes the sound of electricity crackling the air. The students spook and the chemistry have seen something alive from it while Haw blinded by the sudden flash of lightning. A few moments happened and finally settled where Haw stares at the chemistry teacher with an impressive look.

"I never thought you could use lightning"

"Yeah, but what happened?"

The students look at him with curiosity, and the surprising look of a sudden powerful effect.

"It's Horsin writings called "It called", it is a calling out through magic. The magic was used continue to persist its existence like any other summoning. If it's formed through phrases by runes, then the lightning you cast will be different"

The chemistry teacher looks at the vile, it looks the same as before and he brings out the ammeter to check on it.

"Stay still Haw, if you said is true then . . . Incredible"

The ammeter signs of electrical current within the test tube.

"Then this test tube has electrical components"

"Ok!? Yes, the vile has contain with a bit of small living lightning"

The students are rigorously asking how did he write on the vile. They saw its Horsin writings and none of them understood it until used.

"Teacher, can you make another one beside "It Called"?"

"No, this is the most basic rune makings I learned from magic crafting. You can make one just like I did, but remember it is not reliable who don't know the limits between magic and materials"

The chemistry teacher believes he is probably right.

"Calm down students, there are other spells you know how to make"

After a few quarrels with them, Haw manages to stood their argument and the chemistry teacher is busy looking at the carved test tube. He quickly studies it and found a few amazing discoveries. It kept circling the flow of the lightning in a natural pace like any ordinary lightning strikes in molecular size, it kept it in form without imploding that most lightning they casts, and finally the markings on the test tube persist its existence as a lightning container. He returns to them as the class is still ongoing

"Ok Class, our next experiment will be with these chalks, to those who want to craft some scrolls and please make sure not using some dangerous spells"

"Ok teacher"

The class performed the experiment and Haw observed their progress. Meanwhile the students follow some basic spells to write on their scrolls, some made it work while others just burn the scrolls out of nothing. The chemistry teacher explained of their lacking. They need to have good penmanship, knowledge of factual elements, and some other things as Haw can't comprehend the rest. Haw's understanding on magic crafting is the best possible way to make all the basic spells from the environment and used it as a preference of cause and effect. Complex magic such as elemental weaponry like they scream about earth bolt, fire arrows, water walls, and any spells are not familiar to an alchemist.

Haw let them do as their own, and waited for the end of the class. Soon he will be going to repeat it for the entire day. Meanwhile, Ironno have gathered the kids who wants to learn the other way around, he taught them about the fundamentals of surviving outside. He gave them some pointers of getting the best loot where the city guild never expected, and he teach them how to trade better in Stranding Island if they are allowed to get in. He remembered what their conversation were

"The draw backs that the prices of those loots are less than you can imagine like 500 Y each"

"Only 500 Y!? Maybe that's why the city guild won't ever bother it"

"On the other hands, if you just scavenged by yourselves. You have a full bag in no time"

A strange laugh coming from Ironno that the students never heard of, only heard the tone of an Horsin accent.

"Then, next week are we really going to collect those?"

"By hundreds of your howling mouths. How much left do you think you can collect the spoil ya little ones?"

They are hoping to get a big catch, but having a plan B could be necessary for them. Ironno sees the differences between these kids and the other students. They are plotting something with their money, and he has no idea what are they going to do with it. Since he only thinks of this currency for only a few drinks or more.

This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.

Ironno remembers the time in the guild of how money being used. His own expenses are merely outside of the city states, he did go inside the city. It's mostly finding equipment for himself and the other things he was told to buy. Most women did ask a few personal favors for him, and the men did escort with him in case he had no idea where he supposed to go. Ironno did ask them, why would they want to tag along with him and the women themselves hated that. He stayed oblivious during the time, and he knew his private hitman missions before he becomes the Raker Mawn member. After that thought, they already left as he already move on.

Ironno took the train to Taiyou Industries, where the ferry to Stranding Island was built. Heading to the port, he sees rarely any people of Horsin to go to the station while many are waiting to get into the ferry. A Rusic greeted him with his hammer wailing,

"Ya man right there, looking like a miner ain't ya"

Ironno spotted a rusic who wore in leather, dark like shrapnel of thick stones for scales, it describes rather rare to have worn one and it is possible to be one of the Rune Isles miners.

"Ya talkin to ya. What’s wrong? thought ya see a Rune Isle'ers huh?"

"Neva thought to see one"

"Eh, stop ya ye accent of mi clan. If ya want de talk, get da ryun ova dere"

Ironno saw some runes were already place on the stall, where the daemos put up themselves hidden among the the other race's form. Ironno took one, and the rune stone formed into some images of languages upon his view and heard a bit differently from the Rusic before.

"Do you understand me now you man?"

"Daemos magic, we already hated much of their side effect"

"We both know that, Daemos is a magic inherit race. Now you Rune Isle'er, what's bring you here before I answered yours"

"It's a guild mission"

"What kind of guild mission to be part of Stranding Island? Oh wait, please don't answer"

The rusic changed topic and to see from one of the Rune Isle residents. It's easy to say that they need more manpower in Rune Isles.

"Anyhow, anything happened there is none of their business except for quests, right?"

Ironno looks at the rusic for being like one of the Enders, being all contradicting and self-worth to each other. The rusic never got a chance to hear him, and only gives Ironno what he understood from what he heard.

"Ok, ok, you esqued ("human"esque) of an Enders. I heard Lord Lori'es’ warnings, and it's not about the tournament"

Ironno thought it was about that, and as he listens more about it.

"Their citizens didn’t actually leave the city, rather they come back like some kind of criminal organizations. Report from the east where most gobin tribes managed to enslave those people in the east coast"

Ironno didn't respond to that, and only listen for the rest.

"The gobins and the Rusics already know what relationship they are now with them. Agatheus and Purissarwell city are remained neutral for now, but Enders Bridge have treated the situation as decided by the individuals"

A man who happened to pass by from his Agethean clothes intervene what the Rusic said.

"Excuse me, did the Enders already know about it?"

Ironno reply to the man with seclusion

"I've been part of the city. I only confirm this that many of these people have too many ideas to themselves"

A sound of the horns from the port where the ferry is now ready to be boarded.

"What great luck, are you going to stranding island?"

"This is the only Ferry, why would there any route from here than back to the city?"

A rusic didn't understand, but the Agathean knew

"Oh right, there are also gateways from here to the border from the west checkpoint"

He pointed to where they witnessed supplies being warp to this place are now loading to the ferry.

"Well, how far can this city advanced so much"

"It is kind of suspicious as well, you Rusic"

On board, the three talk about any more news beyond the city and the dangers of the east coast after Stranding Island.

"If you try started greeting us with names, don't bother, these kinds of people will not introduce themselves"

"Just like most Enders do"

"Great, then don't try whistling on us and even with these runes we won't having trouble being miscommunication"

"Using these runes are hard to believe for Rusic to hear those high definition of tongue"

"You hear what you know and I hear what I like to hear"

The Agethean and the Rusic argue a bit and Ironno listens all to their conversation.

Agathean speaks

"The Agatheus City have already spread their influences throughout the mature district so called Mihayara District, I heard most of the cultic practices were accessed in exchanged of exotic spells"

Rusic responds

"I just called for construction of Stranding Island for my city state, and I don’t need to know this city’s business. Besides I was working from the east border of this city anyway, I don't know about this guy as a fellow Enders. I could only tell that I have rediscovered some adventurers who knew coming here"

Ironno is his turn to talk.

"Mostly common practices"

"Recruits?"

Agathean guessed, and Ironno

"Right"

They turn back the talk about how far they know.

"I heard it from one of those news, about that they are taking advantage of the situation for gathering more mana"

"Mana, yes you are probably right to some part but there is more than just mana here"

"Is there something more than that?"

"Lady Hivites is still a daemos, having things like mana won't suited for her unless"

"Seems to me this Agathean already know that daemos' culture"

"Yes, like you said beside Rusic knows more about daemos. Is there anything happened in the city?"

"I know only before the meeting, mostly divided and many of them are in the east coast"

"And now?"

"It is the same for everyday basis and having more news regarding the mana smuggling"

"Only the mana Agathean, Is there any other clues about your city?"

"It won't be enough regarding about mana”

The three start to lose interest in their conversation as their leads only due to mana related. One specific thing among the rest of the 4 mana, they can confirm this what the city will be after for now. The silence within the night is getting dim as one of them finally breaks it. Whereas the other people on board are quietly observing the view of the sea.

"Let's set it aside, if we can't even know why they want to help them. Then Rusic will have his own view about the East"

Agathean and the Rusic are still new here, and the rumors of the city states are helping them to approve to be suspicious. The Rusic stares at the distance to the coming Stranding Island and said

"There was a battle closed to the last ledge of the mountains. Mostly gobins from Mountaiwall raided the area and found unknown equipment in those hidden bases. As I am part of the travelers who wondered from the Mountaiwall's small towns. The gobins are carrying loads of it"

"What did they find?"

"A cage with highly suppressed locks on some humanesques. Turns out to be from Isekai City, and what's more about them to be the outcasts"

Rusic slowly losing his tone to be more quiet way to say. Hearing Isekai citizens to be abducted can be troublesome

"However, they brought along traces of loots from the Rebellion. Hearing about cages completely full, I'm guessing they are also part of the enslavement"

"By the Deities, what are they trying to do with those people"

"I don't know, but I'm sure they won't bring them back home"

Ironno heard what left what they possibly know, and by connecting all of it. He is certain that this city can’t be trusted with their powers.

They are now closed aboard to the developing island, where the port itself on the other side is nothing but a make shift docks made of the magic telekinesis from the alchemic builders of Mountaiwall. The Ferry only disembark itself by the hands of these builders where the other passengers began moving to the shore.

"The city is developing rather quickly. Words throughout from the city states grew dim where gobins got some hefty heads"

Agathean still join with the two where they venture off some under constructed areas.

"You like following us, don't you? Is there something happened in Agatheus?"

The Agathean man has little curious about the city, and only says something related to it.

"It's about the politics between the Mayor and Lady Hivites. I'm more concern that the Foundation is still active. Did they know that the Rebellion also have connection to it?"

The two stops on their tracts and turn to him with an understandable expression.

"That's the easy way to find out about them"

"But they are divided to whereas it's hard to call it before the mayor . . ."

Ironno knows about Daygen's motives, but he can't grasp of those people who can't assimilate to the reality of this world. He understood they can overcome it without even realizing the dangers from other regions.

"If we finally decide to changed what we witnessed, then there is no hope for them to fully embraced their new race as Isekais"

Agathean commented on it, and the two only stay what they think of the isekais as the other worlder. At the residential area, where the walls were the first to complete while the inside is as empty as it was never planned in the first place. The walls are formed like fortress where the inner walls for the known society of Horsin and the center inner walls for the people who only wished to live as ordinary city states' pioneers. Everyone is an adventurer and mostly coming from Agatheus City, and surprisingly a big group of gobins in each side of the wall. Agathean doubted by this type of view, as they are now in the make shifts homes of the Enders.

Seeing only a foundation of the structure, the makeshift houses are livable for a camping ground. Agathean comes along with them to have their final sayings.

"The gobins, the rebellion, and the Isekai citizens returned from the rebellion, these are the suspicions by many city states’ alliance"

"It's more easy to just ignored it"

"We might die if they turn against us"

"Then it will be another day for the Eldesune to obliterate this city, they should have realized more about this world history"

"History won't change much when forgotten, but it helps us know it will repeat like from those previous eras"

"Like this world truly belonged to the Daemos, maybe the Eldesune with their known landmarks, or maybe the humanesque. . ."

"Alright, alright, our trivia won't get us anything anywhere. Agathean, you must find your own sleeping areas as the entire embassy is a camping ground"

"Or would you like to sleep with us?"

"I am grateful for the offer, but I have some business elsewhere. Hope we could see each other on missions"

The Agathean left as swift as he could where the two saw his movement quickly turned only in the sight of blurred images. Ironno recognized these types of class.

"The Agathean can use magic, but it looks like what the other worlders are using"

"Don't bother to analyzed them, I saw it in the tournament and it has too much variety of that skill"

Both rested in their camps where the time that Haw still remained in the city.

From inside of the city, where Haw and the girls who worked in the guild center enjoyed the night strolling across the fun side of the city. Haw mentioned them

"Nanami, Shinji, invited me to this place would be fitting for you two alone"

Nanami and Shinji playing shyly and embarrassingly in front of him

"Oh darling, you can talk a few words back at us"

"Is something happens?"

"My drink kept me in, and I'm starting to sober up"

Nanami give him the angry look

"What!? you are now our boyfriend and you acted like this"

"What about what you said that you will be our only one?"

Haw stares at them for a minute and give off a short eh* from his breath. Shinji sighs as she exhales her breath by his spoiled response.

"Darling, if you didn't do to us last night. Both of us should be going our own way without you"

Shinji grabbed his arm along with Nanami followed in

"Besides, we're treating you. You give us a cheap meal but a good night. Then we should have the best night"

"Oh yeah Darling, make sure go a bit harder with us for now on"

Haw returns to his usual self and only give a raised eyebrow to the both of them

"Oh Darling, are we going to teach you? Fine"

A pout coming from one of them where the three enjoy the night. The night is mixed with all the dangers and prosperity, and with nothing like every night as the city booming itself by a job well done.

It's been a week, where the everyday routine of Haw and Ironno have been done since their first day. Reya says her goodbye with the two as they are now headed to the quests area with the students. The women, who offered Haw the mission, are staying in the school where they are having a sermon with the other new teachers from the different city states. Haw seized his drinks and Ironno pulls out his gear where everyone didn't know what he is carrying. Only with the tools of some carpenter or any sort of a builder would use, Ironno pulled out his own regards with the students

"Never underestimate to who are wearing like this. You already heard those adventurers' stories"

The students were both mix by how Haw and Ironno look, and they heading the only the least parts of the forest. Other city guilds joined in because of the students' connections with the guild, leaving mostly of the teachers who supposed to accompany them were persuaded, except for one man.

"All of you adventurers trying to hog all the loot, right? Well not for me, I read the basic resources in the southwest of Kinteinou regions and I . . ."

"Teacher, stop it already. These guys are big time people and we shouldn't . . ."

The chemistry teacher was surprised of them being fans of the city guild. However, they need a good role model

"Ok, but the school staff will have full supervisions. And I . . ."

Showing himself alone to be part of the trip alongside with Ironno and Haw. The guilds were more oblige from his statements. Andui and the others give their farewells to them

"Haw, I trust you to be this exerted on this quest. The city guild is suspicious about you and your guild, but I hope you can handle them. Can't you?"

Haw puts his hand on her shoulders, then gives her one of the school's experiment set’s test tubes. Then he turns back,

"Andui, did he really give you something from a school lab?"

Andui stares at it while the rest watch them leave. She started to smirk

"Reya, do yo remember those weird potions that magically recovers both your health and mana?"

Reya turns to her as fast as she could after hearing her say that.

"Is that?"

Coral remembers it,

"Is the same potions that helped us survived back then?"

Iggy has no knowledge about potions, and only stares at it. Coincidentally, she found something odd

"Hey look, the bottle has a signature on it"

"Signature on the bottle? Horsin never have this kind of . . . unless"

Andui reaches out one of the teachers.

"Ms, do you know about this signature?"

"Of course, it's from . . . Alche, the chemistry teacher"

They were surprised, and a little relief but they still like to know why the chemistry teacher's potion coming from Haw's grasp.

"Did he?"

"As long as they are two of them who can made it"

Iggy comment on it, leaving only Andui and Reya worry more than they could have imagined.

"It is better just trust Haw and Ironno instead. Adding him along may triple my doubts here"

"Reya, don't be like that. It's outside of the city and only a forest with small size dungeons hiding there"

Coral only gives her expectation to only Haw, and because of Ironno's comment about the students made her only reminded about her suspicion of him. She has only to hope for the city guild's cooperation.

The principal calls out to the teachers

"All right teachers, we have a special meeting and our new staff will be coming later. I hope we can coordinate one another"

The teachers who chose to stay are all seated and accounted for the principal's announcement

"You can see, we are proudly thank these former guild members to help this school and be the first to employ a Horsin from Enders Bridge. Reya, Iggy, Coral, and finally our owner of this school, Andui"

All of them clap and cheered, seeing the sight of these women who done to this school. All four are standing at the front where their next plan of operation.

"Thank you, principal, now let's begin"
