32. Thoughts of Dresses

Christie was met by a prone Agatha when she arrived at their dormitory. The blonde lay on her bed with her head facing downwards, looking one step away from the grave.

“What has happened?â€...

31. Little Sapphire

Agatha was nervous, to say the least. Whilst the letter containing the special summon to the academy told her that she had a guaranteed year at the academy, she was now to meet with the person who ...

30. Sea of Stone

René was numb to pain. Too much had happened in his life – which some might dare to call short – for him to be affected by it any longer. Or at least show that he was affected by it. Yet as he...

29. Restless Agates

Christie steadily walked across the silent corridors of the academy. It was the first day in a while that she didn't need to push her body to its very limits at the first hour of the morning, yet t...

28. Materialization and Mindfulness

The rest of the week was a blur for Agatha. Between the fact that she was constantly exhausted and that some classes were just introductory, there wasn't anything to do. Well, there was. She was ju...

27. Mock Turtle

Arithmetic ended up being far more draining than Christie expected, though that was by virtue of the professor not taking even a second after writing to start erasing the contents of the slate. Oth...

26. Arithmetic Is Key

Agatha felt refreshed with the morning sprint. She had been forced to move her body a lot during the first weeks of the caravan, but racing with her classmates was wholly different. One was a const...

25. Second Day of Class

Soft was the light that woke Christie up. It was only the second day, but she was already growing fond of it. It certainly beat Miss Diorite's shenanigans. With a mighty yawn, the redhead stood fro...

24. Bathing Experience

Agatha was sorry for Christie. The way she was laughed at hit her way close to home, back on that day when she had eaten that shard of an agate, and instead of awakening the normal amount of agates...

23. Lithic Afflictions

Sick. That was how Christie felt. And she wasn't talking about her physical well-being, which had already taken a toll, but her mental one. She saw and heard the laughs of her 'classmates' as she c...

22. Humiliating Exhaustion

Agatha had missed her last chance. Well, that wasn't quite right. She had seized it and her shot was bound to land at those speeds and distances as the air boomed around her agate, but she hadn't t...

21. Demonstration and Sparring

Christie had never regretted a decision so much in her life before. Well, she hadn't taken many decisions over her short life, but still, that wasn't the quid of the question. The subject at hand w...

20. Unknown Traits

Agatha felt like her head was going to explode. She wasn't the smartest, and she knew it, but it was almost demoralizing how hard it had been to pay attention to the class when it hadn't even been ...

19. Agatecraft 101

Christie realized that no matter what she had been taught, the claws of anxiety were something that couldn't be unlearned. She had honestly believed that she had managed to handle her first days at...

18. René Dago, Teacher

Agatha felt like a shalesnapper in the ocean in the classroom. This simply wasn't her environment; it was too… fancy. The whole academy felt fancy, but because she was a student, she had disassoc...

17. First Day of Class

Christie woke up to… literal light.

"Now that is surprising," the girl muttered groggily to herself as she rose from her rather small bed. It was certainly a change from her former one – ...

16. Two Girls in a Bedroom

Agatha was too good of a person, and she wanted to defenestrate herself for it. Defenestrate, heh. What a funny word. Comedy was the only thing that saved her in this grueling moment where...

15. Dormitory Dispute

"I refuse to accept this!"

Christie was taken out of her reading session as a shout echoed through the walls. She decided to read a bit as it was the perfect environment with the raging rain ...

14. Rain, Umbrellas, and Uniforms

Agatha's whole existence could be summarized by one word.

Drenched.

The caravan had stopped at the outskirts of the capital, and whilst riding the carts was one thing, no one would pay...

13. The Castle and the Vulpine Soldier

Christie drowned in embarrassment as she undressed inside the carriage. Her only saving grace was that no one beyond Adrien had seen her spill her innards out. The mortifying problem was that she s...

12. End of a Journey

Agatha couldn't be thankful enough for Nerea's help. Being allowed to ride the cart was already a gift from the earth, but the company? That was the actual blessing.

Her companion from the vi...

11. Skyscraper Academy

Here in the fast-moving and rich city of Knight's Ascent, horses were more commonplace than stoneshells, or so Christie thought. Unlike most other hubs of civilization out there, the proper urban p...

10. Caravans and Blisters

Agatha wasn't forced to make all the journey to Knight's Ascent by herself, but that was far from a saving grace. First, her mother and a handful of villagers accompanied her to the closest city of...

9. Knight’s Ascent

Christie couldn't say that she enjoyed journeying much. Her constitution was already frail as it was, but the constant movement of the carriage only made it worse. Actually, everything made it wors...

8. Farewell Gift

Agatha knew it very well that the journey to the Skyscraper Academy was going to be an epic of… epic proportions. Malachite was a small village – if it could even be called that – and the onl...

7. Eat the World

Christie had made her decision, but she couldn't help but be nervous. As soon as she had announced that she wanted to go to the Skyscraper Academy, her father told her that she would be departing t...

6. Special Summon

Agatha spent the next days of her life like a fidgety mess. Her mother had been completely wrong; she felt even worse as time went on. The pre-examination jitters paled in comparison to the dreadfu...

5. Dearest Father

Christie had been played, and she didn't notice it until it was too late. Regardless of her wishes, Miss Diorite had already prepared a bath for her, so having played with François did not affect ...

4. Mister Krugger

Agatha felt alive again after having had lunch and a wash. It had only been a cloth and lukewarm water, but more than enough to remove all that grime accumulated from the journey and the examinatio...
