Dothack:Reality (part 2)

By: TsukasaTheFoaminian

Man, poor Tsukasa, Mimiru thought as she went to her skills class with the other Heavy Blades. Getting a ten-page essay, just for not showing up to class. Mimiru had been trying to become friends with Tsukasa for a while now. At first it was just a dare that someone had given her, but now she really wanted to be friends with Tsukasa. She'd been trying to get Tsukasa to talk with her more by being friendly and trying to be there for him when needed, but Tsukasa never really need help from anyone. Then there's the fact that Tsukasa always had that way of just warping away and not being seen anywhere for the whole day. I wonder where he goes?

All the while, Mimiru's skills instructor, Sanjuro, had been reviewing the sword technique they had been going over for the past three days and had called Mimiru and another girl, BlackRose, to demonstrate. The problem is that Mimiru's attention was some where else and Mimiru was an expert at looking like she was paying attention when she really wasn't. Just a simple nod or shake of the head usually, but she had a tendance to start doing the things she had been told to do. While Mimiru was thinking about Tsukasa, she somehow walked out into the demo area, and had assumed her fighting stance. She was only pulled out of her thoughts when she heard BlackRose rush toward her and yell, and even then all she could do was raise a weak defense and get knocked on her ass.

"Mimiru," Sanjuro asked glaring down at her. "What are you doing sitting on the ground?"

"Getting beaten by BlackRose with the new technique?" Mimiru asks innocently and jokingly.

Some of the kids laugh, but Sanjuro only glares at her and states, "The beginnings of that technique are easy to dodge. Mimiru, you can't have your mind wandering in any blade class unless you want to end up without an arm, a leg, or just plain dead."

He gave this speech twice a week, so the students knew it by heart already, and Mimiru was ashamed of herself because she knew it was true. They had stopped using fake weapons a year ago, and the real ones were deadly. After about five minutes of lecturing, Sanjuro sets Mimiru against BlackRose again and this time Mimiru matches her opponent move for move. The technique they had been learning had meant to be a domination technique for the person who uses it, forcing the opponent to block and guard too much and caused them to quickly exhaust. But Mimiru was something of a genies when it comes to swordplay, and had long since seen a place in the exercise where the person on defense could turn to the offense. She amazed everyone when she became the one in control and BlackRose was on the defense. She got some complements from some of the students, and was even allowed to leave class early by Sanjuro for the great display. Mimiru decided to use the time to wait for Tsukasa to get out of his class and see if he wanted to do anything with her.

Tsukasa wasn't happy with how the day was going, first a ten-page essay, then a waste of time learning skills he already knew, and now he could see that girl Mimiru waiting for him. He didn't know why she was so determined to be his friend, and he continually told himself that he didn't care, but in deep down he really did care. Nobody had really cared about him since his parents had died and he had been forced to live in an orphanage. The lady who ran the orphanage didn't care about any of the kids, and couldn't care less if they were all killed by monsters. Tsukasa never had good people skills, so even before the accident he didn't have many friends. Then after the accident he pulled back even farther and refused contact with anyone. Then there were his teachers who never cared at all about him either. The truth was, he was half-happy about the assignment because it would be a challenge for his mind, which he rarely got, and loved all the times he talked to Mimiru. But he wasn't about to admit that to anyone, not even himself.

Tsukasa decided to see what Mimiru wanted, so he walked up to her and asked, "What do you want?" in a flat, bored tone.

Mimiru decides this is the perfect time to ask Tsukasa, so she just dives in, "I wanted to see if you wanted to go to a dungeon with me."

"A dungeon? When I just got a 10-page essay to write? Are you trying to make me fail?" Tsukasa asks coldly.

"No," say Mimiru. "I just know that you are a lot smarter then anyone thinks. I see you warping out of the city all the time, but you don't have writing materials anything with you. Then I don't see you all day, and the next day for class you turn in a three-page paper about a subject given to us just the other day. If you can write a three- page paper in less then one-day, then you can probably add another seven pages to a three-page essay in three days."

Tsukasa was amazed that anyone had noticed how quickly he writes, and he hadn't even thought about just adding more to the paper he had already written.

"OK," he says defeated "I'll go, where are we headed?"

"To Forgotten-Dog Dancing-Mirror World," Mimiru says, surprised that Tsukasa had decided to come. "There's supposed to be a really rare item at the Got Statue there."

"All right," say Tsukasa. "Let's just get this over with." He would rather see the sleeping girl again, but a dungeon adventure was something he thought of doing. The problem was since he was going with someone else, he wouldn't be able to use his Summoning abilities, and he got such a bigger thrill from summoning the Guardian, or from Dragon Summoning, then just normal magic and normal Summoning. But he didn't mind, it might still be fun.

They got to the Chaos Gate shortly and warped out together. The area turned out to be a normal grassy area with a few old ruins in it. But this area was filled with a ton of magic portals, all which contained monsters in them. There's something I can put in my report, thought Tsukasa, how when Herald recreated The World, he filled it full of monsters that for some reason would revive themselves after they died, and all of them were loose. And how Wave Masters eventually learned that they could trap those monsters in Magic Portals. The problem was that the portals were unstable and anyone who got close to them released the monsters inside. The only thing that didn't set off portals were the Grunties that people had domesticated. I can also talk about how Wave Masters of high level can create warp points, as long as they are near a dungeon. I guess this wasn't that bad of an idea after all.

"So Tsukasa, you ready to take on some monsters?" Mimiru asked in a fiery tone and a determined look in her eyes.

"Sure, do you want me to just heal, or do you want me to attack as well?"

"Just do what ever you want," Mimiru said. "Its not like I'm the leader here. I can heal myself if needed, and it might be fun to see how powerful your magic is."

This surprised Tsukasa a lot. Most parties that were formed had a designated leader and they made all the decisions. Mimiru stepped up to the Portal and there was a big flash of light. After the light fades, there is a small witch standing in the center of the area. The Mimiru rushed up to attack, but the witch raised her wand and hit her with a Magic Blast so powerful that Mimic is thrown back 6 feet. Tsukasa laughs at Mimiru's misfortune and kills off the witch with a powerful thunderbolt. Tsukasa walks over to Mimiru, but when he speaks to her, she doesn't wake up. He then tries to shake her awake, but when he touches her, he feels something wet. When he pulls his hand back, it is covered with Mimiru's blood. Terrified, Tsukasa quickly heals her and tries to get her to wake up. She eventually wakes up, but she is in a daze and a little confused. She eventually pulls herself together and says, "I don't get it. The guy who told me about this field said it was low leveled and would be a synch to beat."

"Well it isn't," Tsukasa says coldly, but still very worried. "We'd better go back and get you a better healer."

"Right," says a still slightly wounded Mimiru.

They both try to Warp out, but for some reason they can't. They are both very worried and thoroughly bewildered.

"What is going on here?" Mimiru asks aloud to herself.
