I hope you all enjoy this!
ON WITH THE FANFIC!
I was training with Discord
I was so close to finishing my level one chaos magic training.
How was my training going?
Well...
I was currently balancing on a pole on one foot
Various items were stacked on my head
"How is this supposed to help me cast magic better?" I asked
"In order to cast your chaos magic with as little risk as possible, You must practice concentration..." Discord said
"You must learn to keep a focused mind during dire situations..."
"How is this a dire situation?"
"It isn't, You just have to learn to concentrate first."
I looked at Discord
He was standing perfectly still, balancing thousands of items on his head and hands
He was also balancing items on his foot that was stretched out
None of the items were wobbling either
As for me...
My balancing was 10x worse than Discords, and I had less items than him.
I was losing my balance
"W-Whoa..."
"WHOA!"
I fell down
Discord threw all the items into the air and snapped his fingers, causing them to disappear
"Ugh!"
"This feels pointless!" I exclaimed
"You are getting better at balancing..." Discord said
I glared at Discord
"Can't we just skip this stuff?" I asked
"Nonsense! You have to learn to keep a focused mind! Especially if you're in a dire situation!" Discord exclaimed
I sighed
The next day
"A Timberwolf pack closes in on you, What do you do?"
"Hmm..."
"I got it!"
I snapped my fingers
...
I had a flamethrower
Discords eyes widened
"M-Maybe you should use a less direct approach!" Discord said quickly
"...Fine..."
I got rid of the flamethrower
"Hmm..."
"I turn them into the size of puppies!" I exclaimed
"Cause puppies aren't threatening!"
"That's a bit better..."
"But you wouldn't have a lot of time to think..."
Discord snapped his fingers
I was surrounded by Timberwolves
"U-Uhh, Daddy? Isn't this a little too much?"
"Think quickly!"
"U-Umm."
...
Time felt like it was moving slowly
I gotta think this through quickly...
I could turn them into little puppies...
They aren't as threatening in that state...
...No, if they don't run away, they'd still have teeth sharp enough to injure me, even if it isn't that bad an injury, not taking the risk...
I could teleport out...
Wait... Teleporting wouldn't really be good if I'm protecting somepony.
Maybe I could do some hand to hand combat...
No, hand to hand won't work... I do know martial arts... But I'm not an expert...
I wouldn't be able to take on a pack of Timberwolves...
Way too risky...
What should I do?
...
That's it!
I snapped my fingers
The Timberwolves suddenly cowered in fear
A spell of fear... Works on any creature... Flesh or not...
The Timberwolves wouldn't attack
Discord snapped his fingers and got rid of the Timberwolves
"Excellent quick thinking..." Discord said
"What were you considering to do?"
"Well, at first I was gonna turn them into the size of puppies, However, there was a chance that they wouldn't run away, I didn't wanna risk getting an injury, no matter how small."
"Next I considered teleporting, which sounds good in theory... But it wouldn't be a smart idea..."
"And why is that?" Discord asked
"Because if I happen to be protecting somepony, I wouldn't be able to concentrate well enough to get both of us out of there."
"Lastly I considered hand to hand combat, But that was also risky, I do know martial arts yes... But I wouldn't be able to take on a Timberwolf pack using just my fists..."
"So, I eventually went with a spell of fear..."
"It makes any creature, fearful of me."
"It doesn't last long, but it would still give me enough time to escape."
Discord smiled with satisfaction
The next day
I was once again balancing on the pole
However, Discord was throwing things at me
I tried staying perfectly still
"Good, Keep your balance... Stay focused..."
Discord threw an anvil
I jumped up and dodged it
I landed on my hand
Discord smiled
"Excellent work..."
The next day
I was standing on one foot, balancing items perfectly
This time Discord would add an extra item every minute
I was up to 3 hours
I was carrying 180+ items and still balancing well
"Your concentration is getting better..."
Discord added 100 extra items
I was struggling
"Had enough yet?" Discord asked
I grinned
"Nope..."
Discord added more items
I was really starting to struggle
"U-Umm, Robert?, I think you've hit your limit..."
I chuckled
"I'm still good..."
Discord added a few more items
My leg started to give up
No... I can do this...
I WILL do this!
My leg stopped shaking
I stayed balanced
"You're still going!?" Discord asked, completely shocked
"I-I guess I am..."
"But, 4 days ago you couldn't even balance 50 items!"
"You've basically tripled that!" Discord exclaimed
"I-I'm just as surprised as you are..."
I threw all the items into the air and snapped my fingers to get rid of them
Discord had a smirk on his face
"Follow me Robert..."
I nodded
In a clearing in the everfree forest
"Why are we in the everfree forest?"
Discord didn't say anything
He turned to me
"You have done excellently, We have one final lesson until you can move onto the more advanced magic..."
"What is it?" I asked
"You must use all that you have learned, to fight an opponent..." Discord said
"Who is this opponent?" I asked
Discord grinned
Suddenly, He pounced at me
I gasped
I jumped out of the way.
"Me, of course..." Discord said
"I-I'm fighting you!?"
"No time for idle chitchat!"
Discord pounced at me again
Without thinking I brought up a shield
Discord ran face first into it
I brought the shield down
"Excellent quick thinking... But you'll have to do better than that!"
I gasped
Discord went in for a swipe
I dodged it
He kept swiping at me
I kept dodging
I wasn't expecting this...
How can I stop him?
...
Wait...
He's on the offensive...
But he's being careless
Maybe if I time it right...
I grabbed Discords arm and then shoved him back, causing him to lose his balance
Yes!
Discord got up
"Excellent counter..."
Discord made a clone of himself on the other side of me
"But can you handle two enemies at once?"
Oh dear...
They both came charging at me from both sides
I grinned
I made myself transparent
They both ran into each other
"Hah!"
"You gotta use your brain!"
Suddenly I was put in an arm lock
"Crap!"
"Watch your language!"
I kicked my foot up
I heard Discord wince
He immediately let go
I turned around
I cringed
Discord was curled up, gripping his "area"
"Heh... Whoops..."
"Right where the sun don't shine..." Discord said in pain
"Draconequus down! Draconequus down!" Discord exclaimed
"G-Give me a minute..."
Several minutes later
I helped Discord up
"You okay?"
Discord nodded
"Okay then."
I jumped back and got in a fighting stance
"You can't just rely on hand to hand..." Discord said
Ngh, He's right...
I gotta think of something...
I'm gonna have to keep stalling until I think of something to do...
"Thats because I'm waiting for the right moment..." I said
Discord grinned
"You're bluffing..."
"Am not!" I replied
"Are to!"
"Am not!"
"Are to!"
"Am not!"
"Ar- Hey! You're just buying time so you could think of something!"
"No I'm not!"
"Yes you are!"
"No I'm not!"
"STOP IT!"
Discord pounced at me again
...
"I got you now..."
I snapped my fingers
...
Discord was a baby draconequus now
"Youth spell..."
Discord glared at me
"Y'know, You're actually kind of cute!"
I picked up Discord
"Who's a cute little draconequus? You are! Yes you are!" I exclaimed
Discord looked angry
"Aww, Does somepony need a nap?"
Discord struggled in my arms
"Shhh..."
I started humming
I started rocking Discord
His eyes started drooping
Don't worry, I'll change ya back when we get home...
I chuckled
Back home
Discord was glaring at me... Still a baby draconequus
"Robert, when are you gonna turn him back?" Fluttershy asked
"But... he's so cute!" I exclaimed
"Robert..."
"Ugh... Fine..."
I snapped my fingers
Discord was back to his old self
"Thank Celestia..."
"So... Daddy? Did I do good?" I asked
Discord chuckled
"Robert Draconequus... You've officially completed level one your chaos magic training..." Discord said
I jumped into the air
"YES!"
"You've gotta be ready for the next level of training, so rest up... Cause next week, we start level two of your training."
I smiled
"I look forward to it..."
Thats it, Hope you guys enjoyed!
