I run him with Beidou, Noelle, and Bennet rn so he works rather well there ~~quick elemental reactions by just using his skill and then switching to Bennet or Beidou for faster elemental reactions~~.

But I'm gonna be adding Ningguang soon ~~just gotta get her up to lvl since I got her in this banner~~ and I think I'd want the rapid cryo more? So would Rosaria be better in that case?

I'm still only playing through the whole thing and am not at a really high AR yet (38 as of rn but that's only coz I explore a lot more than fight) so I can't really test out all of them. Although I really want to :c

	In general, who is better at Cryo? Rosaria or Chongyun? I've used Chongyun but recently got Rosaria so I'm unsure. ~~It's gonna take a while to bring her up to lvl 60 tho lol~~ [Read more]

	"It appears Miss Feyrer has already noticed us." "Wonderful, is it not?" Samton walked up to Kynik and Thalia and gave a slight bow, greeting them. "Greetings. I hope we're not intruding." Saying this, Samton smiled at them. [Read more]

So, a discount Xavier?

Ramson opened the book once again, carefully this time.

"Yo what was that for, Bzzt??"

"I think I liked the you who used hashtags better than this accent. Just doesn't suit an android."

"I will suit your-"

The android was stopped by Ramson who held his mouth shut.
"Shh... we're all trying to read, so quite down. Tell me, what is your purpose?"

"Are you Socrates, Bzzt?"

"Thales, actually. Anyway, what do you want?"

"I'm supposed to be your assistant, Bzzt."

"So, Sam but, more green?"

"Do not think of Shrek, Bzzt."

"I thought of Fiona so that should be fine."

"Ughh. Anyway, I should inform you that you are going to have a lot of reading to do. Good bye, Bzzt."

Saying that, the 'assistant' went went back into the book. Such a wonderful assistant. Resisting the urge to shut the book once more, Ramson started reading it.

If wind magic transmitted sound, light magic transmits, well, light. Often called clairvoyance, this ability is the cornerstone of any war. However, searching without a particular target is equivalent to asking for your head to explode from all the information.

Using said clairvoyance, Samton looked for his 'classmates' whom he had met prior. Some saw it as advance scouting, but Samton just saw it as introduction.

"We'll go by the lake first, Tien."

This lady's planning to kill us before the Alacratz even get a chance!

Only Ramson knows how he managed to keep a straight face after that, but he did.

Seeing the size of the books, Ramson involuntarily gulped. He sure hoped she wasn't lying when she said that it'd strangle him, since he was starting feeling as though that would simply be better.

He opened the book, and his right eyebrow went up without him even realizing. In front of him stood the green little robot mascot of Android.

"Is this sponsored?"

"This is #NotSpon, bzzt."

"You know that doesn't work when you speak, right?"

"I will #killyou, bzzt."

"Without even taking me out to dinner first?"

"That joke is #dead, bzzt. Must you really be a #boomer, bzzt?"

Shutting his book immediately, he turned to the lady he simply referred to as Boss Lady.

"Such a wonderfully lovely book."
Those looking at him got the extremely rare opportunity to see not one but three popped nerves.

	He clicked connect. Or at least, intended to. "Is your Tanji skill giving people jumpscares?" Ramson had almost dropped his Tanji when he had heard the voice so suddenly. "Well, I suppose it is going alright? I just figured out how to connect using the Tanji. A guide could really have helped, you know." Ramson said as he regained his posture. [Read more]

Ramson was dropped into his 'training' room when he was still unsure what his training would even be. Sure, the Katana boy can just practice slashing, but what about him? To start with, he considered what his options would be.

"Let's just see what they've provided, shall we?" With some sort of hope, Ramson started looking around.

A computer.

The room held a computer, a computer table for the computer, and a chair. At least, with all of them being wooden (except the computer, probably), I guess it is aesthetic?

Ramson started the computer, hoping to get some sort of instructions. Instead he was faced with a somewhat familiar and rather nostalgic boot screen.
"Windows XP? Seriously?"
"But this might be good."
After some thought, Ramson's thought changed from the first to second. If "Picturing it was anything important, it would indeed be easier with the background as the grassland rather than the four 'windows'.

It's of no use.

Ramson had been trying his best to connect to the computer, to no avail. What's training if he can't even get it started.
Ramson gazed at the time.

5 minutes.

You are telling me, it's only been FIVE MINUTES? It felt like a few hours.

Alright alright alright alright

Giving up, Ramson took his 'Tomberlane' and started fiddling with it. Did the lady break it by flipping it too hard?

As he kept using it, something caught his eye.

Tanji Network

Waiiit. Seriously???

Switching it on, I got a screen similar to bluetooth. There were two options available. My smartphone and the Computer. I selected the computer and clicked connect.

Principal Sparmi was pacing back and forth in his room, when a knock froze him in place.

"This is Samton, Prof Sparmi."
"Enter." Sparmi motioned Samton and Tien to take a seat. They did so, and Sparmi himself sat down.
"What did His Highness say?" Sparmi's voice was firm, but meek.
"He said he would arrive here in two days time."
"I see. Well, whatsoever be the case, we will not be able to discontinue classes much longer. You are aware of what 'Circles' are, yes?"
"I believe you are referring to the different groups students form based upon their interests and the like?"
"Yes, That is it. Since these three days would leave you with a lot of free time, I would like the students to decide upon those." Saying this, Sparmi pointed to a stack of papers on his desk. "Those are forms for circle registration. They also have guidelines. I believe you two know what to do?"

With a little bow, Samton took the papers. He then walked to the nearby cupboard. Tien opened it for him with his keys, and Samton put them in there. These 'lockers' sure are convenient, to be able to take them out from any other locker.

"That would be all." Sparmi gave a half-smile and nodded.
"Thank you."
"Thank you, Professor."

Quote Chapter 3: Will Be

A week has passed since I was ‘adopted’ by the elves. My life in the village has been much better than what I had expected. The idea of elves being close-minded and unaccepting seems to only be baseless rumors.

In this little bit of time, I have met with all the elves of the village, who were very kind to me. An elf named Taylor made some new clothes for me. They feel much nicer than what I am used to.

I was never really all that happy, but I think right now, I’m rather close to it?

The elder visits me every day, keeping me company while Markus and Luciel are out patrolling. I’m really grateful. Today, he visited me again, but was much more serious about it.

“Marciel, have you ever wondered what these bracelets we all are wearing are?” He asked me as he sat down.

“I’ve heard they offer protection from the Fairy King of the Wind?”

“Correct. Now, we elves present our newborns with them. It is a tradition that has been passed down for generations. We are planning to hold yours the day after tomorrow.” Teril beamed as he continued. “Taylor will bring you the ceremonial clothing this evening. It’s the first time we’re making one for your size so it took some time, but, well…”
“Taylor’s fired up, isn’t he?” Luciel chuckled as she joined the conversation.
“The kid likes a challenge, alright. I just hope he doesn’t make something ridiculous.” Elder Teril smiled wryly.
“Thank you very much, Elder!!” I could hardly contain my joy.
“Ha ha no need to thank me. Anyway, if there is something about the village you wish to know, it’s better to ask soon. It’s not good to be completely oblivious during the ceremony after all.”

“Then, if you do not mind; when you were addressing everyone, according to Luciel’s translation, you were calling yourself ‘We’ and ‘Us’. Why?” I was rather curious about this, as he did not use those words casually, at least when speaking to me.

“When I am speaking officially, I am also speaking on behalf of The Emperor of the WInd. So unless His Greatness Himself is present, in public meetings and the like, I use the plural form.”

“Ah, I see.” That made sense… I think?

“One more thing. What happens in this ceremony? Should I prepare something else for it too?”

“Well a mana enhanced gemstone is enchanted with your mana, and then a bracelet is welded around it. This is what happens, so you need not prepare anything else for it.” Elder Teril gave me a pat, and then looked at Markus and Luciel. Taking the cue, the two left for their duties.

While those two are gone, Elder Teril and I have been playing some games. He really seemed to enjoy chess, but I’m unfortunately not any good. I hope I can learn and get better one day. Rather than chess, the two of us have been playing games like memory and othello. Though not necessarily any better at it, they’re simpler, so I can at least try.

Apparently, I will be given education after the ceremony. I’m looking forward to it, but I’m kinda sad our playtime would be cut short.

My eyesight feels… hazy. An offwhite building is in front of me. I recognized it nearly instantly.
“The orphanage…”
It was the orphanage I lived in. My memories of this place are not very great, but… it still was… home. There, I see a girl, a nine year old, holding a tattered teddy bear.
“Shina…” The word slipping out of my mouth is nothing but her name.
“Adalwen… are you lonely?” Her question sends a chill down my spine. “Do you miss us? Do you miss… me?”
My mouth opens, but no sound leaves. In this shocked state I stand there, frozen in place. Her sad eyes looked into mine with conviction. Despite my efforts, I could not turn or look away.

We stood still for very long. I did not know how much time passed. Every so often, she would repeat the questions. Tears rolled down my cheek as I tried my very best to produce some kind of sound, but to no avail.

“Who am I asking? This is Marciel now, after all.” Her words were so very shocking, and I felt the world around me being devoured. I felt darkness enveloping me, reminding me of something I so hoped to forget.

Next moment, I woke up in shock. I was soaked in sweat, and my heart was thumping. Right… This is the Elven village. Hoping it would not repeat, I lied down again. The orphanage is something of the past. Thinking of it now would be pointless.

Chapter 3 is here! This is becoming way too long than I had expected. ~~When starting I was expecting to time-skip by chapter four lol~~

Please tell me what you think... (PP or PM is fine)
All sorts of advices, opinions and criticisms would be appreciated. Thank you for reading! ^^
I hope you will continue to enjoy!!

	"How very tactful." Ramson could not help but reply to what his companion had just said. He seemed just as mindless as usual, although the reply itself was rather unusual for him. "Oh, excuse me." He said as he held his head. He had already started eating, and now returned to it without any further comments. [Read more]

'Would it be that much better to fight and perish than to perish without?' Ramson stopped his thought there. It was not easy to just process everything that was said, so he chose to ignore all that was not related to himself.

The explanation he had just received was... questionable. Entering a cyberspace of this device? That was indeed good, but what were the limits? He could not enter another device, fine. However, would it be the same if the two were connected via, say, USB? What about Bluetooth? If not then couldn't he access them through shortcuts within his own device? In the first place, what use would this cyberspace even have? 'Depending upon the time limit I am unsure if I would even be able to, say, hide from these "bad guys" in there.' Ramson felt as though his train of thought was running headfirst into a rock.

The food was surprising too. 'It's not poisoned, is it?' He wished to ask, but did not want to cut into the conversation which itself he felt was too far away to start paying attention from then on.

"The four winds bring you greetings, Your Majesty"

A seemingly sourceless voice resounded in the Goldenbach Palace court. His Royal Highness The Emperor Rex Goldenbach was sitting with in deep thought, and it came as a slight surprise.

"Is that not Tien?"
"Yes, Your Highness. The Prince wishes to speak to you regarding the recent occurrences."
"Understandable. Speak, Samton. Would it happen to be of the same news I Myself was alerted but a few minutes ago?"
"Yes, Your Highness. It is about the tremor in the elemental plane, relating to the ground element."
"As expected. What do you think about the same?"
"Herr Erdgeist is deeply hurt, perhaps worse. I contact you under the instruction of Principal Sparmi."
"Very well. Time is running short, I presume? I will arrive there in two days time. Inform Sir Sparmi of this.
"Understood"

Transmission magic; the art of carrying conversations through the wind. This art belonging to the wind element is used during extreme emergencies, as it is very heavy in one's mana. One of the reasons why Tien was chosen as Samton's assistants was his ability to use this; Tien himself knew. As he sat down, catching his breath, Samton brought him a cup of tea.

"Good work, Tien."
"Thank you, Your Highness Samton."
Tien drank it, clearly exhausted.

"Well, I will go report to Principal. Wish to accompany me?"
"Of course, Your Highness"
Saying this, Tien put his cup down and walked ahead, to Sparmi's room, following Samton.

Ramson was surprised, to say the least.

If nothing else, he has gotten a free phone, at the very least. He did not mind entertaining the strangers who are ushering him in somewhere private... waiiiit a minute.

Hoping he would be able to make a run for the exit should 'common sense' end up being true, he kept listening.

At the end of it, he was unsure if he actually was, listening. What he heard was on par with anime in terms of plot. Throughout the explanation he almost felt as though a camera crew would waltz in any moment, claiming to be from some new T.V. show of which we, unbeknownst to ourselves, had become part of. Despite the near-comical situation, however, something told him things were... different. A sort of strange feeling which had enveloped him ever since he had laid his hands on the phone.

"Then from this I hope you will excuse me." Tien gave a slight bow and made for Samton, who had already taken a seat on a platform. It was made by Samton, who was rather used to it. There, he decided to sit and watch. As he was about to invite Kynik on, he noticed him getting up to fight a golem.

As the fights continued, a sudden bout of headache hit Samton. Many other mages also experienced the same, as was visible from their demeanor. Unexpectedly, and extremely surprisingly, the golems all fell, broke, and perished.

A shocked Prof Angler held his head. Fear emanated from his eyes. He opened his mouth, but no words came to his assistance. Samton, who was momentarily confused, realized what the matter was. It had hit him like a carriage.
"Erdgeist . . ."
"No way-" Tien, who finally understood, also bore the same expression.

"We must reach Principal Sparmi, now."

"No need."
Sparmi was already there, and replied. His voice was quite grave, which was rare, but warranted.

"I think it would be best we dissolve the classes for the day. Prof Angler, Sir Fisch. I'll await you at the meeting room. Prince Goldenbach, get in touch with his Highness your father, if you would."

"Understood."

Quote Chapter 2: What Could Be

Dark... Dark and cold… The warmth I once knew is no more… Crammed into a box, bound by ropes I cannot feel. I’m being taken somewhere. It has been very long. Days, I’m sure. I sometimes hear laughs from the men carrying me. It scares me.

Am I even allowed… fear?

I’m barely awake. The men carrying me are rather quiet. The unusual silence feels… comforting.

I hear screams. I’ve been dropped. Were they attacked...? The fall hurts.

I feel… strange. As though my binds have loosened, if not shattered. Slowly, I am able to force my eyes open. It’s bright. My eyes are blurry seeing so much light after so long. I see some tall figures. Are they green? I should try to speak. “Wh- where am I? Wha.. . .” My voice is trailing off. I’m way too tired to speak. Although, it’s strange... I feel a strange warmth. Is this a dream? Will I… ever be able to feel it again?

Cold. Cold and yet, warm? I open my eyes, albeit slowly. I'm lying down somewhere. Maybe, just maybe, that wasn’t a dream after all?

“Ah. I see that you are awake.” Upon hearing it, I turned to the source of the voice. There seemed to be a beautiful elf lady standing there. However…
“Expe his irony vide odyssey?” I cannot understand any of what she’s saying. Is this the Elven language?

“Oh, sorry. You don’t know elven tongue, do you? I’m glad you’re awake. Here, have some water.”
Saying this, the lady pushes a wooden cup filled to the brim with water into my hands. Despite still being confused, I accepted it gladly, before downing it all in one single gulp.

“You must have been really thirsty. Here, have some more.” Saying this, the elf reaches for the cup, and then chants, while keeping her eyes closed , “PARTVM AQVAM AD VSVS”. As she chanted, water started pouring into the cup from thin air.

“So this is magic…” The words slipped my mouth before I was aware.

Hearing this, she chuckled lightly. “Yes, indeed. Anyway, have some more. By the way, my name is Luciel. As you can see, I’m an elf. If you want anything, just let me know.” With these words she smiled at me.

Oh shoot. I forgot the introductions. “Thank you… I’m Aldern… ”
“Aldern, I see. The elder decided to shelter you here from now. So, your Elven name will be Marciel from now on. I hope you'll stay here for the while, and make yourself at home.."

Her words shocked me. Elven names are rarely given to outsiders, and those who have it are believed to have the protection of the Fairy King of Wind. It is not something most people could even dream of having.

“Are you sure? Giving me a name…?” It was frankly unbelievable. Luciel seems to have noticed my worries too, as she smiled once more.

“The decision was made by our village Elder, so of course it is. The Emperor of the Wind decided so too, after all.”

“The Emperor.. Of the Wind?” I couldn't help but wonder what she meant. Surely, it was not The Fairy King of Wind?

“I think most races refer to him as the Fairy King of Wind. He's the most powerful fae of the wind element, and he is also the ‘Fairy of Judgement’. He deemed you worthy and wanted us to protect and care for you.”

"Luciel! I am entering."
"Feel free to."

As I was thinking over all that I had been told, I heard a shout at the door. Soon enough, the door opened and a male elf entered. He seemed to be carrying a bag.

"Ah, boy! You're awake, huh? How do you feel." He noticed my stare and turned to me.

"I'm feeling better. Thank you very much for rescuing me."

"Oh no, you needn't worry about it. So, I've brought over some food, so eat your fill! I hope you'll find this home comfortable." He replied, taking out some bread from his bag and putting it in front of me on a plate that Luciel seemed to have gotten. She also placed what appeared to be jam next to it.

As I sat there, not knowing how to reply to their kindness, he sat down on a chair next to the bed.

"Truly, thank you very much. I am Aldern." I was able to squeeze as much out of myself.

"I see, Aldern. I am Markus. I believe Luciel has already informed you about your name, 'Marciel'. You may think of it as more of a title than a name. Well, either way, eat until you're full!"

After having my fill, I was once more put to bed. Luciel sang an elven lullaby. Although I did not understand the words, the tune itself was soothing.

Before I knew it, I was fast asleep. This time, happily.

Thank you, once again for reading. Please feel free to let me know your thoughts. ~~Not being sure of how bad it was is seriously difficult.~~ TvT

I had intended to post this last week but things happened so ye, here I am.

I hope you will continue to enjoy!!
