Bab 60: Explanations
Maki decided to burst in seeing us playing around and was about to say something only to be tackled by Yuji and Kugisaki Screaming, "Maki-sempai!"
There was one woman who was already done with our shit though. Utahime stood from her seat in the front and slammed her hands on the table. Then in a calm motherly voice, "We have had enough of you idiot! Obviously you somehow rehearsed this so get on with it so we can get some answers."
""No, No!""
The one who entered first began, "There was no need to rehearse!"
The second finished, "we are already connected by our souls!"
They both clasped their hands in a handshake and nodded to each other.
Maki sounded off saying, "The Second one was Gojo-sensei."
They gasped as they looked at her betrayed. The first Gojo having been found out released the glamor and all of a sudden was in a white tunic and black slacks. His height lowered and his hair color shifted to red and black.
"Ruin our fun...humph" The real Gojo said.
"""Ehh?""" rang out in the classroom as they witnessed the change.
"Yo, My name is Azarius Noct Emiya. A few know me here at least in greetings but not much past that." I said greeting everyone.
The mother hen from before narrowed her eyes at me, "There is no need for such tomfoolery here, understood?"
Waving it off I said, "Most of them were tense anyways so a good joke to break the ice was helpful, anyways." Capping my hands, "That being said we can get some basic info out of the way. I did promise Miss Maki I would after all."
When everyone was seated or set around the room I pressed on. "As you now know my name, "What" I am is complicated. My official title is The Lord of Mysteries. To go into too much detail would take a long time but it can be summarized somewhat with a similar concept."
Making sure I had their attention I asked, "Who here is familiar with the idea of an "Outer god or great old ones" primarily found in H.P. Lovecraft books? Show of hands please."
A decent number of hands flew up, considering they were sorcerers I understood they had probably looked into it due to how cursed energy works. Enough fear means a potential cursed spirit.
"I am considered a successor to a being that could be placed in a similar category. The original had watched over his world until all of the people died out and decided to cast his powers out to the wider worlds. After my untimely death I inherited these powers."
"Please wait for questions till I am finished with the initial explanation." pointing at Yuji and Gojo who was sitting next to him. Yuji was beaming with a hand raised.
"What I got though, was a very stripped version of the previous Lord of Mysteries as he took away a large portion of the powers that were corrupted by the wills of the past Lords of Mysteries.
To compensate for this I am constantly adding new parts to the "broken" version I was given. Ultimately this has led me to Journey out from where I traveled to initially to three different universes. The first was where I inherited my body and also a future version of my body as a brother, if you will.
Preempting a few things, The original soul was fused with my own as he was a moment from a horrible death by cursed fire. The future version of myself was a form of spirit that I decided didn't need to continue being an assassin for Humanities Will to Survive."
Letting that sink in for a moment as they were all speechless, "Next we can talk about my homeworld as I call it. I had spent 9 to 10 years there after all. To really oversimplify that world It would be described like so.
First is Mundus, this is the whole "mortal" plane. It can be split into two main parts. Nirn, The planet, and Oblivion, The area of space around the planet. Nirn has at least 3 known continents of which only one is known from where I was called Tamriel. There is another Continent known as Akaviri but little is known about it.
They do however have very similar aesthetics to the far east of this world.
Next up is oblivion. Oblivion can be considered the space around the planet of Nirn and holds what can be considered little bubbles in it. The bubbles are known as planes of Oblivion. They sometimes have owners as well. The strongest of these Owners are called Dedric Princes. They can be considered gods and are Immortal. Even when mundus in inevitably destroyed they will remain.
My mother, who some here have had the privilege to speak to her through her Nightingale apparently, Is the Dedric Prince of the Night and Shadows. another preempting, yes I am adopted. She is a lovely mother as well."
looking at the room of really stunned and somewhat confused people I ended off with saying, "That's about it other than... the reason I can travel to other universes Is by going through the void between the universes which takes a lot of prep currently due to my lacking strength. Any questions?"
Utahime looked around as most of them were still stunned she said, "What is your purpose for coming to this world."
Heavy stuff that got most everyone's attention from their random thoughts, "Honestly it was random. I did detect a negative polarity energy, which I needed to unlock the third set of powers from the previous Lord of Mysteries. Helping out is just par for the course when you see a really fucked up situation."
The blonde fit woman straight out of an MMA fight ring was next, Yuki if my memory serves right. "These powers you have, are they able to be passed around more?"
"The lord of mysteries powers? No, not that I am aware of currently. Magicka could be able to be transferred but would need extensive testing to make sure your world would even allow such a thing.
It is possible in theory though... but some difficulties amount to there is no stable source here currently, as Magicka, the magical particles of Mundus... come from another plane of existence above Mundus known as Atherius. It flows through the "Stars" which are just holes in that fabric if you will. Easiest option would be to contact Magnus, the "God" of Magicka and maybe arrange for him to somehow open a path here. but yeah that's a very tall order."
Nodding slightly disappointed, one of the students piped up. The swordswoman who had her weapon destroyed. I could tell she was mildly depressed.
"Is there any strong swordsman from your world?" with a hopeful tone just barely cracking through.
Smiling softly at her I said in a gentle voice, "Yes. In fact my brother is one of the greatest. He is currently following the legends of the Redguard people, A race of humans there. There they had stories of those known as Sword Singers. When they waved their blades the world sung in their presence. There they wielded their soul as their blade, Known as a Shehai."
She perked up slightly at that, and seemed content. The path of the sword was an arduous one.
Maki spoke up next after plunging Yuji back down after he stood to speak, "You said you were an Outer God or at least similar, what are you a god of?"
Loaded question, "My title is the Lord of Mysteries. So my overarching Authority is [Mysteries]" I added a bit of the conceptual meaning behind my words as they flinched at the sudden flurry of info. They held though and I continued, "The three different pathways that make up my title lead to the Authorities of [Door], [Error] and [Fool].
Letting them settle from another info dump via god speak was nice. Mom really was a lifesaver when it came to learning that. The way it worked was packing your understanding just like a shout only its just backed by the inherent godhood/ divinity of the person and their concept.
"That is my godhood if you will. Which I represent on a more cosmic scale. In fact, Gojo here is a step down from me in that regard as he is "This close" to using [Infinity] as a demigod."
A smug look as he said, "Of course, I'm the strongest."
A chuckle left me as thoughts of Noah Blavan came to mind. "In this universe." Was my retort.
he pouted and turned his head like a child. Yuji spoke next with his hand raised, "OH, OH, me next!"
Pointing him out he stood and said, "How does the traveling thing work? Can we travel to different worlds?"
Hmm. Closing my eyes I thought the question through. Turning around I grabbed a piece of chalk and drew out a circle.
"First to explain structure a little bit. This circle represents our multiverse. Instead of a traditional sort, ours is a little different. You can consider it a really big bubble."
Drawing a few circles inside I continued, "These circles represent different universes. The space between is the void. The Void itself is corrosive and corruptive. you need either stringent methods of surviving it or just being strong enough."
Putting dots all over it next, "These dots are representative of the beings who reside in the void. Some are just lone beings or couples. Others are complete organizations the size of a planet or planets. Universes like this one could be considered a safe haven as they tend to leave them alone.
Traveling in this right now for me is risky. Due to my lacking strength. One being I met happened to be an entity known as Noah Blavan and his wife June Balor. Lets just say you would need Millions of Gojo's to rival him."
Gojo looked aghast at my accusation and stood and said "Preposterous!"
I looked him dead in the eye and said, "You know how you always say between heaven and earth I am the honored one?" he nodded, I matter of factly, said "He killed heaven and earth."
He let out a confused "Wha?" So I explained. "He was a reincarnated person who cultivated like in the novels and eventually killed Heaven and Earth of his universe before heading to the void. That's the kinda strength you need out there."
With Gojo without wind in his sails for a little bit, I looked around and said, "anymore questions?"
Megumi stood and said, "Can you please help with your cat?" practically pleading me.
I tilted my head as I contacted my familiar and he popped out of Megumi's shadow on top of a white colored dog. I could see that Megumi didn't know just what Azazel was doing for him though.
"Ok, but just as a warning, When was the last time you checked how strong your familiars were?"
Confused all of a sudden he sheepishly said, "After the incident last week."
Nodding patiently I informed him, "Azazel has been helping the Familiars as their origin is the same. He has pretty much developed your shadows potential and strength. Get to know them as their intelligence will also see a spike as well."
Bowing in gratitude to me he sat down. I felt a batting on my forehead as my cat returned swiftly to my head.
"Yes, yes. I know I didn't mess with your things inside my shadow you keep it locked tight anyways."
"Praise me more!" he said in a very childlike voice. "Glad your progressing on that front. at least."
"Anything else?" looking to the crowd. "Nope? well I did promise a spar with Miss Maki so if you want to watch come along for that I guess."
That got them excited, A few were worried for Maki Though as she just recovered. Some assurances by myself and Shoko let them know that it was going to be helpful for her to move around some.
Some back and forth between myself and some of the students and Sorcerers I hadn't met filled in the time before that. Eventually we made our way outside. At the practice field seeing they everyone had gathered I addressed Maki.
"Understanding that you are just getting to moving around after a week, I will be limiting myself to just physical prowess. Just the same as you. Do you have a preferred weapon?"
The outfit she chose to wear was similar to her original, only she wore pants and her shirt was a sleeveless turtleneck currently.
She took a deep breath and yelled out to Megumi, "Playful cloud!"
The spiky haired boy who was chilling with his dog familiars was alerted instantly and threw the red segmented staff from his shadow.
Maki caught it and began testing herself by tossing the weapon around her body. She was pretty fluid with her movements. Seeing as she had her weapon she looked to me and asked, "And your weapon of choice?"
Chuckling I used my magecraft I didn't have before. My own personal world enabled finally.
"Trace On"
Fog billowed from my hands as the married blades formed from the fog. It changed itself to match those blades I had seen so many times before. Shirou always did love them, even if he never outright said it.
Speaking out to her as she watched me "These blades are called Kanshou and Bakuya. My brother is quite fond of them as it turns out. I even created my own sword in their image. Blunted for this fight though."
Turning the swords to show their edge to her. "This is a spar after all." I said matter of factly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cliffhanger strikes again!
Stones to help our story reach the masses?
AN:// Lotta recap for the crowd of Sorcerers. Just the major points across the board though. I hope to put my MC as more of a "teacher" here in this world. A role for him if you will.
There is still the culling games to come and some other surprises from the released cursed spirits. Debating on whether to make Maki a mage or second Toji, or both.
Also debating romance but I really want it to feel organic and not forced so still playing with scenarios in my head.
STRONG NOTE: Mc is currently just turned 18, appropriate behavior will be noticed.
Love you guys but we all know most of us in the fanfic section are degenerates.
Have fun stay safe.
