Not a huge fan of turn orders. Like, you can have time to post, but the person whose turn it is doesn't, and so it takes a long time, and then your turn comes up, but now you don't have time, and then you're stuck waiting damn near a month for everyone to post once, and then the RP dies. That's my experience with it anyway.

May I ask for a summary for what is going on rn?

@AThousandCurses

Professor was late to class, told students to introduce themselves. Alberta introduced herself in the most condescending way imaginable. Eris took objection and said something. Ty chimed in and caused a big shouting match. Professor got pissed. Then, they got called to opening ceremonies. Headmaster made dramatic speech. Miracle Seven showed up, but number one was missing. Now there's food and fun and everyone's chilling for a sec.

Though a more elaborated guess is that they originally wanted to include actual nudity, but desired to sell the manga at a different rating. A different way of censoring made in late stages possibly.

@Dezuel

Nah, later in the manga you get actual nudity. Just as the scale of battles escalates, so does the scale of echi.

Looking through the wiki and good lord why do all the female characters have visible nipples

@samakama

Because it is a martial arts echi. But the martial arts and the story are really good! I swear!

Instead of working on a post, I went out and caught Pokemon. Now I will try to post :^)/

@AThousandCurses

See, this is why you're in class C.

World Beyond the Lexicon

@samakamaIt's okay. Have you read History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi? Nijima did pretty well with just his wits.

World Beyond the Lexicon

Even might folks have to take written exams.

World Beyond the Lexicon

Most of Class C seem competent in terms of everything except for MAYBE their personality. And even then, that's a big maybe, in that they're all still functional human beings.

@ERode

Let's put it this way. What do you think happens when you take a boy out of the woods, sit him in a desk, and put a pen and paper in front of him?

World Beyond the Lexicon

I don't know if Eris and Ty are on the same page when it comes to "take on" one of the M7 but that's not a bad objective at all.

@KoL

Can't fault the boy for having a one-track mind, can you? Haha.

Can't wait for Class C to inevitably get swole af, and then start cannibalizing each other. There's 14 of us, but only 7 seats after alllllll.

@ERode

Haha, well, Ty isn't in Class C for lack of combat ability...

Ty Varen

Up until now, Ty didn't think it was possible for anyone to be as insufferable as the Alberta chick. He was about to stand up and challenge her to a duel right then and there, but the professor slammed his hands on his desk, demanding order. "Yeah, yeah..." Ty grumbled, slinking down in his chair. He wasn't exactly ready to start an argument with a man who used explosions to open doors. Despite his commanding tone, though, he seemed quite a bit less intimidating than professor Mavis. Whenever he acted up last year, it was a lightening bolt right to his bottom. Nyx was a former miracle seven, the second seat no less. Surely he could do more to control the class than just yell...

Before the professor could finish his tirade, though, the announcement rang through the classroom, calling everyone for the welcoming ceremony. "Sweet!" Ty exclaimed, hopping onto the desk and vaulting over the row in front of him with a flip before landing gracefully in the aisle. Moving around a bit was the perfect way to get rid of his sour mood... even if he had just done 250 situps less than an hour ago. He more or less stayed with the class and out of trouble as the walked to their seats. The headmaster gave a rousing speech as usual, and Ty cheered loud enough for the whole class. "Wooo! You tell 'em Al!" He loved hearing lofty speeches like that. Bold words and boundless aspirations. As old an venerable as the man was, he knew how to get people like Ty fired up. But, the main event came soon after.

The Miracle Seven stood before the rest of the school in all of their austere glory. However, one was missing. Damn, did he really not want to show his face? If it were anyone else, Ty might have accused him of being a coward, but the the cub knew better than anyone else that the first seat had nothing to fear. With power like that he was sure to go on and achieve great things. For all of Ty's boasting, he actually did respect the power he was up against. But, that's what made it worth taking on.

After the speeches, Professor Nyx was gracious enough to let them enjoy the festivities. Ty didn't wait for permission of course, not when there was food involved. But at least that meant he wouldn't get scolded afterwards. Few people knew how to navigate the food stalls as well as Ty. In less than a minute, he had a fluffy sponge cake in one hand, a roasted chicken leg in the other, and the remains of some pork-on-a-stick dangling from his mouth. It was certainly an awkward position to be in when approached by a girl.

Ty gave Eris a quizzical look at first. Lord Varen? Was it his wild orange hair, his hand-me-down clothes, or his clearly regal table manners that implied nobility? Whatever it was, it was pretty amusing, and he was sure the girl was just trying to be polite. He finished up the pork, tucked the stick behind his ear, and took a bite of his chicken leg, while he listened to her... reprimand him? Thank him? She clearly wasn't happy he started trouble in class, but she phrased it in such a kind way that it was impossible to be mad at her. He even felt a little guilty for causing her trouble.

He swallowed his chicken so his mouth wouldn't be full when he spoke. At least that aspect of manners was practical as far as Ty was concerned. "Well, first of all, I'm not a Lord or anything like that. So, just call me Ty" He flashed her a friendly smile. "And yeah... definitely lost my cool for a bit there. Sorry if I dragged you into a fight you didn't want. But man, that Berta girl really ticks me off. Even the first seat wasn't that rude when he kicked my ass." He said the last part casually, as if it were no big deal. He felt no shame in his defeat. It happened, he accepted it, and next time he'd win. "But, yeah, I guess pissing off the professor probably isn't the best idea. I might get exploded this year instead of just shocked." He let out a small chuckle.

He honestly had no idea what she meant by "the one." Of course he was one person. How could anyone be more? But, he followed her gaze and saw that she was looking at one of his targets. "Hana'O, eh? That the one you wanna take on? She's pretty cute, but I bet she's super dangerous. She's only one step below that death... knight... guy... thing. But hey, work hard and I'm sure you can do it." He finished off his chicken leg and tossed the bone into a bin. Then, his tone became more somber. "They're not gods, you know. People revere them, but they're just people too. This year, I'll beat at least one of them. Maybe I'll start with seven this time. I wonder how big the gap between the first and seventh seat is. Heh, guess I'll have to find out."

Before Ty could continue musing, though, he was called over by one of the booths. The school's cooking club was recruiting. "Oh, sweet, the cooking club! You should come check it out 'Ris." He motioned for her to follow, with the hand holding the cake and headed off in that direction, preparing to greet his old friends. They were already at it, practically chanting, "Hey Ty, do the thing! Do the thing!"
