>Realize you are surrounded by idiot children.

They're just a little eccentric... Oh my god, he blew his arm off.

"DID YOU SEE THAT?! That was fucking hardcore, man! That bitch is dead as hell!"

"Rugaz! Your arm is gone!"

"Huh? Haha! BLOOD STUMP. Damn... Where's my shoe?"

Uhh...

Tell him he's an idiot, pick up a rock, hold it against his arm, and then reshape it into a tourniquet before he bleeds to death. Sure, having a ring of stone crushing the edge of the stump will hurt, but hey, heats death.

Hopefully the magic school has some kind of magic healing plan?

>>626476
Tell the other students to alert the teacher that someone has been seriously injured.

Man they could film this and show it to first years to teach them what happens when you use magic irresponsibly.

Well go tie off his stump so he does not bleed out. I bet they have someone back home who can regrow the thing.

And make sure that thing is dead or leaving. Don't need to get thrashed by a pissed off rock worm while you are first aiding people.

See if you can find his severed are and beat him with it, also inform him that that(english?) technique required two hands so he can't do it anymore.

I use bandages on his wound, because smooshing rocks on his stump is dumb.

Some of the larger people have to help move him back to the portal and the trip is called off due to catastrophic injury. So it all went pretty much how I figured it would. It was short, but educational.

"So how long before you think my arm'll be grown back? No, wait! Can I make some cool magic arm out of spiked metal or something? That would be way better!"

Rugaz is unphased by his dismemberment.

"Thanks for a patch job, Siks. I got plans for this blood and I can't have it all leakin' out."

"No problem."

Hey, Sika, before you go through the portal, check to see if there is anything behind the portal. The moss that you haven't found could be back there. Unless the portal is in the wall, then just ignore me.

Okay I thought this guy was a jerk but now I'm pretty sure he's just an idiot. That's a step up from jerk, at least.

>>627396
He seems alright. Make a slight effort to stay on good terms with him, you could use some allies in the school.

Okay, you have a sort of friend who maybe owes you one and who's not afraid of catastrophic injury and can make things explode.

Could be useful, if you find yourself in need of a favor involving lots of firepower and disregard for self preservation.

Waaaay too dangers to hang out with on a regular basis, though.

>what do
I'm still kind of wonder why the elf took an interest before. What's her angle. Was she trying to help? Was she manipulating you?

Also, her observations about you going about things the brute or dumb way suggests she thought of what she considers a smarter way to go about it. Makes me curious.

>>627396
Let's avoid sitting next to, or near, this one forever.

Still a crime that they could live for hundreds of years if they don't get themselves killed.

>Okay I thought this guy was a jerk but now I'm pretty sure he's just an idiot.

He blew himself up as a first resort, so maybe he's not the brightest. Maybe using up all your brain power on spells makes your decision making suffer... or he's a goblin.

>I'm still kind of wonder why the elf took an interest before. What's her angle.

After everybody is ushered back to the real world and Rugaz is carted away to get his arm fixed, I ask Fiona and Gustav.

"I don't know. Risalia keeps to herself and is really snooty when she doesn't," says Fiona.

"I don't know if she has a grudge against Soken or not, so I couldn't say if she has some ulterior motives," says Gustav.

Dang... I still want to beat up Soken regardless, so I guess it doesn't matter. I just need to keep learning stuff so that I can when the time comes.

The way I see it, there's two possibilities. Number one is that she has a crush on Soken. Number two is she has a crush on you. Only options, really.

>Risalia keeps to herself and is really snooty when she doesn't
She wasn't as really snooty as I would expect, though. Which suggests she was up to something, or actually wanted to help for some reason?

>I still want to beat up Soken regardless, so I guess it doesn't matter.
I guess you could heed her warning that going head on might not work so well. Maybe we need a sneaky way to beat him up. A fair or straight fight is a bad idea, since he's been doing magic longer than you.

>>628271
I say try talking to Risala some more. Get a better grip on her personality, see if you can trust her.

I think you should do some training to improve your golem skills. Like giving them some sort of shape other that what they are now, which can also be used as a sort of intimidation factor against enemies. For example, try making a dog/wolf golem that is weak but extremely fast and hard to hit. Or a big dragon golem that's slow but can fuck up anything it attacks. Or if you don't want to worry about changing the golem's form, then try to summon more than one so that you can beat your enemies with numbers instead. Because so far one golem at a time just isn't working.

>Dragon golem

This is an incredible strain and it's doesn't look right.
I should probably work on something else.

As for Rhisalia, it's probably over thinking, but I'll keep an eye on her anyway in case she's doing something ridiculously evil in the shadows.

>two possibilities. Number one is that she has a crush on Soken. Number two is she has a crush on you.

Yeah, that's probably it. Mystery solved.

>dragon golem
...makes golems of your friends. And have them act like idiots.

It's like mocking someone with sock puppets, only way better.

>>628636
Try working on that booby-trap golem idea from earlier. One that could erupt in pointy spikes when needed.

Hey, it's much bigger than you managed before! Keep practicing. Also, practice riding around on its back. Controlling it while also not falling off is different than just controlling it.

Also go hang out with other mages. Maybe find out what that jerk's magic affinity is.

>>628636
Aww it's so cute.
Ride it if it's stable!

How many golems can you have at a time, anyway? And could you speed up the process of making them by having a golem to sculpt the clay into a humanoid form for you to animate?

Good thinking! Make it look like it's cute and harmless, so that enemies are unaware of its power! And when they get close, it will go into "super, badass, fuck-you-up mode"!

Have you considered having lots and lots of little golems instead?

It might be a tad stereotypical, but isn't that a kobold-ish strategy if traps and trickery don't work? Just throw lots of bodies at the problem?

Also, consider little glowy green light spell for golem eye aesthetics. Gotta be stylish, right?

>>628636
It didn't look right, but it absolutely looked DIFFERENT, so I'd call that progress. Continue trying to make your golems in different shapes. Try something more like a mouse, maybe? Or a spider? Small and differently shaped rather than trying to make something huge and different? Try creating something that can grab things like a person and perform actions with more manual dexterity than your previous golems? What do you know about the actual limitations of this kind of magic?

Make fun of Rynh by making a golem that looks like a really fat version of her and pretend it's saying something like "I've become so fat and useless! Waaah! DX" or "I'm so fat I can't be the leader anymore, so I'm putting Sika in charge of leading the group because she's so much better than me!"

How about an armor golem you can ride into battle and command 1:1.

I've done nothing but summon golems all day and I think I'm golemed out. I think I'm not going to golem anymore today.

Done...

>>633863
No more golems? Okay how about you practice moving dirt around? See if you can surf on dirt. Or at least get it to help you jump really high.

You're looking pretty out of it. Maybe grab a snack and rest?

Make a golem comprised of several smaller golems, you wuss.

Well, if you're going to take a nap, don't do it here! Someone dishonest could show up and mug you in your sleep! It could even be a pervert who also steals your clothes and underwear and leaves you naked! You don't want that to happen, right? DX

Time for a shower to re-energize and then BACK TO WORK.

What is there to do around here besides make golems?

Maybe you need to raid the cafeteria or something. You look pretty worn out. Or go find your actual bed. Sleeping in public is just asking for people to prank you.

Don't die in the middle of a field.

At least make it to a bed before dying.

>>633875
Nyaaaaaaagh... I cast a ton of golems today. I don't have unlimited stamina and I could be working on something other than golems. Using one spell over and over again seems like a terrible tactic.

I need to... turn things into turnips or... make some kind of invisible thing for stuff. Magic can do anything, so I can do anything. As long as I can figure out how and not overexert myself and pass out.

>I need to... turn things into turnips
Being able to turn people into things makes them real easy to beat in a fight. Also, it's really funny.

>As long as I can figure out how and not overexert myself and pass out.
Every kind of mage has to worry about stamina. So if there are ways to help with that, the information should be readily available in a magic school.

Time for magical dru-I mean supplements for your stamina.

>>635230
So you want to spread out your school of knowledge? Fair enough. Telekinesis is a handy multi-purpose spell to get a handle on.

Sometimes you get more stamina for magic by using it all the time so you exercise your magic muscles. But you should check if that's true or not. There might be some tricks for increasing your mana supply at your college.

As for other stuff to work on you should come up with some magic to support your golems. You have already seen how useful disposable foot soldiers are. So for your next trick work on some illusion magic. Imagine how much trouble you could get into if you could be invisible. Or make yourself look like someone else.

>>635230

Perhaps you could dip into that poison magic stuff Atu mentioned. After all, poisons are the tool of the sophisticated social climber.

Sika, all you need to do is visualize success and it will happen. For example, remember when you were imagining Rynh's group getting eaten by a dragon? Well imagine you walking up to that dragon and using some sort of badass magic to save everyone and Rynh is so grateful that she agrees to be your servant. When she does that, you can make her do humiliating things for your amusement! That is the best sort of success to visualize, wouldn't you agree?

magic ideas eh?
Part of me wonders if you couldn't take that little green light thing and learn how to make it bigger, if only for a moment, like a blinding flash!

How about you combine your illusion and earth magicky talents? Like, create golems of yourself then illusion them to look like yourself, while creating more illusions as body doubles. Might as well capitalize on your strengths rather than make up for weaknesses, right? Also make some armor from the earth (dirt jewels whatever) that is as light and strong as possible, in case someone decides to sweep all of you and tries to kill you. Although I doubt with your speed you'd get hit by an attack that powerful. You can also make your illusions and physical body doubles fire off spells too probably, as well as attacking and causing confusion. It's like having alot of kobolds, without the sex. Speaking of using what you know, you might as well learn a little fire magic, and get a Rynh golem too that can breathe fire and looks like her, right? Throden for strong golem. Your brother's pretty useless though...Probably the hugest flaw in my idea though, is your energy pool. Like, how can you increase that so you can become an overpowered fuck? Maybe use the mana battery Rynh has? Maybe store lots of mana batteries of yourself? It's uh, Earth and some tricksy magic that kobolds are most affinitied with, right?

Stamina troubles?
Obviously an exercise regimen is in order.

A bit of time and now I have a decent grip on the basics, got better at rock mans and other stuff.
But, I don't have any classes for a while and I'm going to go relax a bit. I should go do something. Hanging around with wizards all the time can't be good for you. Some of them are kind of nuts.

What's fun in a giant city in the dark of winter?

To the whorehouse!

Go crash your family, unannounced. Causing problems for family and messing up whatever they were doing is a standard for college kids coming home.

>>649908

Go home and show off your new skills to the family while telling them tall tails of your adventures.

>>649944
what no, that sounds like they would potentially enjoy your presence. You have to bring home someone they hate!

see if you can't find your old friends and show off how much better you are then all of them... also hope you don't find out you're now an aunt seeing how Ryan and your brother were spending so much time together.

How about you carouse about with Ryhn and the gang. you could make some extra cash to spend on wizard stuff you need doing a job and get valuable practice.

Surely by now Ryhn and Jehral have gotten it out of their systems.

Hooking, you're dressed for it.


Or spooking kids with magically animated snowmen maybe? Or drinking in taverns.

This seems to be the only option that won't take hours or weeks to pull off, unless I do a really good job at it, I guess.

TO THE BOOZEHOUSE THEN. LET'S GET WASTED AND HOOK UP ACCIDENTALLY TO SOMEONE WE DON'T KNOW.

Or get wasted and hook up with someone you don't know on purpose.

Make a rock golem but out of snow and not magic. Call it a snow man. Except instead of a man it's a woman and has rockin tits based on Korcha.

>>649899
Hey, Sika! .....Uh, is it just me or do you look.....taller? Did you have some sort of growth spurt in the past 3 months? Because you look like you might be taller than Jehral now. Not as tall as Rynh, but you definitely look like you're taller than Jehral!

So, how has magic school been? Learn any new tricks? Been getting good grades? Do anything badass to 1-up Bundri and put him in his place? >:-D

>>650090
Well, you don't have to hate them. The idea is for your FAMILY to hate the boyfriend. They don't actually have to be terrible at all. Just really get on Jehral's nerves or something.

>why would I want [a boyfriend]? A terrible one, that is.
Usually as an excuse to inflict him on others. It's like, a social weapon. One that gets past the usual security.

>Go drink in taverns

I don't suppose there are any winter festivals or anything similar you could crash?

I like what you've done with your hair. Has that douchebag edgelord kid mentioned how adorable your hair is?

Follow your adorable and appropriately sized nose. Winter tends to mean warm, tasty treats to compensate for all that cold blandness outside.

Since I am here learning to be an adventurer, I should probably learn the most important part; ale and whores.


But... Drinking alone doesn't sound very fun. Maybe I should get someone to come along.

>HOOK UP ACCIDENTALLY TO SOMEONE WE DON'T KNOW.
>got your eye on anyone back at the school or are you leaving it open?

Everybody is a human or other human looking thing and I'm a kobold and kobolds are a lot different than human type things. It makes me a bit self-conscious. Most races don't use 'hairy and vaguely dog-like' to describe their standard of beauty... except for gnolls, I guess.

I'm just worried some people might not appreciate how attractive I am, just because I'm a little fuzzy, lizardy thing.


>Has that douchebag edgelord kid mentioned how adorable your hair is?

No, I'm not really trying to appeal to him anyway. I mean, it's basically the only hairstyle I can manage other than being kind of shaggy. Kobold hair doesn't grow out really long like human hair does. It looks okay though, right? Not weird or anything? Hahahaha...

Sounds like someone has a crush. Oh well, BOOOOOOOOOOOZE.

maybe you can find someone at the bar or at the very least pick up some news of what's happening in the world. Oh and as for who to invite... got any friends back at the college that you'd like to drag along?

>I'm just worried some people might not appreciate how attractive I am
As I recall, one of our theories for elf-girl's odd behavior was that she was into you.

>It looks okay though, right? Not weird or anything? Hahahaha...
The ragamuffin pomf works just fine, don't fret.

>>652033
Drink with elf girl.

>It looks okay though, right? Not weird or anything?

No man, natural handholds.

In nay case, even if you're probably not most people around here's "type" physically, you're a hell of a charmer. There's nothing to worry about. Heck, school is a place people experiment at, and it's a magic school so it's gotta be even more true. I wouldn't worry about people not appreciating your natural beauty; you're in exactly the right place to find people willing, or even eager, to look past their preconceived notions.

After all, isn't that what magic is all about?

>Most races don't use 'hairy and vaguely dog-like' to describe their standard of beauty... except for gnolls, I guess.

Couldn't I flirt with kobolds if I wanted someone somewhat similar to myself? Just sayin'...

>Sounds like someone has a crush.

I don't even know who to have a crush on. I bet it was simpler back in the old days. I'd have twenty kids by six or seven different guys by now, steal goats from human farms for a living and die at the ripe old age of seventeen when a bear monster eats the entire tribe.
I guess simpler isn't necessarily better...


>Drink with elf girl

She's like the least friendly person. I doubt she'd be interested in such lowly peasant type activities anyway. Yeah, I'd rather go bother basically anyone else. Snooty and judgmental is the least fun company.

>Couldn't I flirt with kobolds if I wanted someone somewhat similar to myself? Just sayin'...
Well sure, but then avoiding the 20 different kids is harder.

>She's like the least friendly person. I doubt she'd be interested in such lowly peasant type activities anyway. Yeah, I'd rather go bother basically anyone else. Snooty and judgmental is the least fun company.
Maybe she's better once she's a little drunk and loosened up.

>>652662
There's no kobold's nearby to flirt with. I think there was a gnoll.
Man, whatever, we can make a sex golem when we're drunk and regret it later.
Drink with insane goblin.

Look, just go get wasted. Getting blackout drunk is one of the best ways to start off a comedic sidequest.

>>652662
Look, one of these wizards has to be entertaining to go drinking with. Just grab whichever one is most convenient.

>>652662
Go with the Gobbos. They may not want to touch yer fluffy tail but they're always entertaining. If hazardous.

You don't have to go drinking with someone. You can wait to make decisions that you will regret later until after you've have a few drinks. After all, isn't that what drinking is all about?

>>652662
By 'drink with', we mean 'challenge to drinking contest'. Unless you are a literal lightweight.

>>652662
1. Gnolls big. Big in the pants? Quite possibly
2. Gnolls can't get you pregnant. I think

>>652863
Were there even gnolls at the school? I don't remember seeing any gnolls.

Let's not overthink this. Just pick up the first warm hunk of meat that's halfway bearable to look at and can get it up for a tiny dog lizard. That's what bars are for.

Can't you just go bowling or something?

>>652662
>Couldn't I flirt with kobolds if I wanted someone somewhat similar to myself?

Your previous statement "Everybody is a human or other human looking thing and I'm a kobold and kobolds are a lot different than human type things." implied that dateable 'bolds were in short supply, but gnolls were not. Widening the range of candidates being considered increases the chance that at least one will be of acceptable quality. Speaking of which, do you prefer guys or gals or are you willing to give both roughly equal consideration?

>>652863
If gnolls are big in the pants, wouldn't it be better to avoid them? Because she's so small it would hurt if she did get one of them into bed with her. That and gnolls aren't known for being "gentle" if you know what I'm saying.

Flirt with elves and humans and dwarves and dragons too then, why are you standing in the snow instead of flirting RIGHT NOW.

Well, you don't necessarily need to have to hook up with someone to go drinking. Just find someone you can tolerate to a reasonable degree, like Korcha. That would be a reasonable choice, considering that she's more sane than quite a few of the others.

I haven't been hanging out with Korcha much since stripping her in front of most of the year's new students. I'll buy her a drink, I guess.

"I don't think this is a good idea." she says almost immediately.

"Aw, c'mon. It'll be fun. When you're away at school, it's tradition to go out and get wasted sometimes, right?"

"I'm so large that drinking is too expensive."

"We don't have to get completely hammered up..."

"And aren't kobolds highly resistant to poison? Is this going to effect you at all?"

"Eh... Maybe not? I don't know. We're not very good at having a rowdy night out. You're really not living up to stereotypes. Do you know that story about the ogre wrestling a bunch of knights, and there's a mule... and some garlic or something..."

"The sequels were terrible."

This is terrible. We were both in the group that wanted to be adventurers, too. We can't be lame like this. I need to think of something crazy that gets us in a comical amount of trouble.

HARD DRUGS.

"Should we try hallucinogens or wandering about looking for a fight or going on a date or finding somewhere to practice needlessly dangerous magic or something?"

needlessly dangerous magic like mixing our magics with different spells and seeing what kind of pretty colours we make?

>I haven't been hanging out with Korcha much since stripping her in front of most of the year's new students. I'll buy her a drink, I guess.
Traditionally, you're supposed to buy someone a drink before stripping them naked, but I guess this works.

>And aren't kobolds highly resistant to poison? Is this going to effect you at all?
Yeah, but you're small, so it it evens out.

>This is terrible. We were both in the group that wanted to be adventurers, too. We can't be lame like this. I need to think of something crazy that gets us in a comical amount of trouble.
There's usually someone up to something evil during the winter holiday. It's like a tradition. So you can go out on an adventure to save winter-mass from whatever dastardly plan you encounter.

>>679343
Find the local kingpin's mansion, destroy the mansion and his entire crime empire.

If it isn't happening there's no need to force it. Just because you aren't going around having crazy adventures doesn't mean you can't have a good time. You can still hang out.

Especially since you haven't hung out with her yet, that means there is a lot of stuff to know about each other: like how school is going, why both of you want to be an adventurer, your previous experiences adventuring, other stuff that isn't just school/adventuring.

wanna make out?

>>679343
You clearly need some enchanted boozeahol.

>>679343
If you're both resistant, then obviously, you both need something that might kill someone that's not as awesome as the two of you, right?

Either that, or you can start a racket with drinking games.
