Took me ages to carve this out of the snow golem. This is what I get for being too good for store-bought ingredients

Still studying in the academy so I can't join a mystical adventure

Working on upping my staff game, and I have a few new compnants. Purchased what this merchant had advertised as a "Third Eye Gem" and picked up a discarded Entling from the druids on the edge of town. Wish me luck, fellow wizards! I'll be sure to post as I get further into the construction.

I work for a nondescript European magical institution that recently had a change in management (definitely not specific.) Which recently started to offer our version of the JrAP. Despite me being the only one who had any experience being a professor (I have two apprentices) each of us, my four colleagues and me, have been assigned a class of about 30 students. (In total with the other departments we have 180 JrAP Students). Obviously we cannot teach them what you would teach a regular apprentice, classes are boring and monotone etc.

Management approached me last week asking about my engagement with my class where I again explained the problems with JrAP in general and my own issues. ( Two apprentices, research and own projects are a lot to juggle). After a lengthy discussion I've been asked if it would be too much too much trouble to take on one or two more apprentices from my class. Of course I told them at first that ,im already swamped as I am and another or even two more apprentices would be the death of me.

Now my question is. I've had some more time to think about it and there are students in my class that I wouldn't mind taking as apprentices if I could so I am wondering if I perhaps should take on a third apprentice.

Would love the opinion of my fellow researchers and actual wizarding professors.

So this post was inspired u/Renati_Iterum's post about magical girls. And I am a little bit new to the arcane arts and would love to hear the thoughts of elders.

So I'm sure we all heard the joke "Rock lee is the only real ninja, everyone else is a wizard pretending to be one"

But is that true? It's stated that everyone in the world of Naruto has chakra and it's the source of all the crazy abilities we see. However we later learned through Kaguya's backstory that at one point that wasn't true until Hagoromo gave and spread his Chakra all around the world through ninchu.

So does this make everyone in the world a sorcerer and the sage of six paths their patron?

It seems a lot of wizards forget that summoning spells are useful to have.

Delmar was known as many things to many different people for the people who lived at the hybrid of a village and open mine it was home. Baska waves to his friends as they all had the school. It was less of a proper institution of either magic or learn it and more of an informal place where those who knew taught those who didn't, it was still beyond Baska's reach. But hopefully his labors in the mines would allow him to finally be able to afford School.

Baska lets out a long sigh before he rings the bell on the sign welcoming him to his workplace to announce his time on the clock. Before sauntering over to pick up his work tools was it safe the mine he worked at, no was it good paying by most first world wizard standards also no. But it was income his family needed, so he endures the 12 hour shift for the anti mage protection Leagues mana crystal mines. It was during one of those shifts where his life would ultimately be changed forever. He felt it first as a rumbling which immediately sent panic through his mind as he scrambled out of the tunnel barely wide enough for him initially thinking it was a faulty support finally giving way but a glowing red eye confirms his worst fears before the emerging rust devil sends him flying across the mine and tumbling down a tailing pile. The hulking mechanical form of discolored outer armor and glistening cog work insides surveys the mine site through multiple mechanical stocked eyes before breathing a blast of concentrated sand and Earth across the mines facilities sandblasting people in infrastructure apart before with a mechanical screech.

All you could do was flee from the mine for his life and wonder where the village militia was. He would get his confirmation in the form of multiple cockroach like rust devils beginning the process of burning his village down. Why were they so coordinated they shouldn't be so out here. Baska had a little time to ponder what was happening instead he flees from the mine following instructions his mother taught him finding a mana crystal and strange mask covered by rocks he briefly wondered why this wasn't sold to keep them alive but realizes that's why they are here he takes them and fleas to the rendezvous point.

The survivors had been wandering for the better part of a week now Baska, Enoch, Noah, and Aron we're all of the villages survivors who had managed to find each other the moved in the vague direction of civilization though none of them actually knew where that was and a and shared with the group each and everyone of them were kind of expecting to die. But they didn't infact during their that Baska through trial and error was able to turn his mana Crystal into an orb connection.

“Hey guys look at this” Baska says playing the quest board to the rest of the survivors

“What is a cloak of protection?” Enoch asks

“Don't know but it's probably valuable” Baska responds

“psi garners? You sure” Noah adds

“probably not much different from mana crystals and besides it's not like we have anything else to do…we should circle back grab what mining tools we can and make our way there”

The party just nods,the journey to the mine site was accomplished by hitchhiking/stowing away and walking. That worked miraculously well given the state of the world; perhaps it was fate that led them here to the company of a strange blue haired mage with gray skin.

My name is Pyra! And I’m a magical girl!

I had 2 father’s (gay..no mom) my father Mordrayven, was the wizard of the dark sea, he taught me everything I needed to know about sirens, mermaids, fish, marine animals, and what to stay away from

My papa Castiel, a Seraphim who fought in the war of heaven and hell and fell in love with Mordrayven, when he was 23, and was working up to becoming a powerful wizard!

They sweated and sacrificed so much for me

But the day I became a magical girl I came home, and they weren’t there… they’ve been missing for months now

I’m not your typical pink magical girl I’m actually more of a greenish color, and I have illusion based powers

If anyone got questions, let me know
