>>29937103
> Be nice

"It's nice to meet you Lisa. You're a good shot, excellent grouping.

I heard you were also a rifleman, I'm afraid to say I'm not all that experienced with firearms, it's difficult to find them, legally at least, in Japan. Though I wouldn't mind trying them out some time.

You also having trouble choosing a style of magic, or am I alone in this?"

Oops, missed the start

You smile as you start talking to her. She blushes a bit, though seems glad you noticed her grouping. "Yeah, what you don't know is that I was at that for at least ten minutes when you showed up, I wasn't even hitting the bullseye or black when you came over. The trick with the last arrow must have been raw magic, as I am quite sure that it was otherwise impossible to do such a trick shot." she replies as she starts eating. As you mention her rifle skills, she smiles.

"I can show you on my personal piece, if you show me some tips on your bow." she offers, in a teasing voice. "And yes, I have been thinking on it a lot. What style are you thinking of going with?"

> Mid style, and reason

>>29938475

"On the one hand, I find myself drawn to the Belkan philosophy. But on the other hand, my existing skills seem that they'd work better with Midchildan magic."

>>29938475
>Not sure yet

>>29938475
> Mid style, and reason

"It seems to fit my skillset better, I like the Belkan philosophy a lot, but Mid seems to have the biggest explosions and is better suited for controlling an entire battlefield rather than focusing on just one enemy.

And I'd love to take you up on that offer."

>>29938601
Sure.

>>29938475
"Miss von Weiss, are you offering to show me your moves?"
No, this isn't a serious suggestion.

Most disciplines of modern Japanese archery are not geared towards high rates of fire, drawing on the contemplative teachings of Zen and Taoism.
Therefore we don't really NEED the rapid-fire, high-power Mid-Childan doctrine in order to take advantage of our talent.
I mainly prefer Belkan because of stylistic reasons and cause it works even with low per-minute energy output. Also delicious defense and speed for when someone tries to get too intimately close.

>>29938475

She nods at your reasoNing, seeking to mull it over in her own head. You also mention posting melding the styles your self if you end up not happy with just one.

"Definitely a pragmatic way of looking at it, though I am sure you would end up as a mid to long range sniper who doubles as artillery," she says after a bit. "Wouldn't mind calling down one of your lightning bolt spears on an enemy entrenchment. Heard they are still trying to get the sucker to discharge so they can repair it."

You can't help but chuckle at this. "I just imagined it hitting the target as hard as it could, and gave it a toss. I want trying to make it split a spear, let alone put off electricity," you reply.

She giggles slightly as she finished her food. "Well, I'll see you back in there. Have a good lunch, lightning archer." She says as she walks off.

You have a little while before session two of physical evaluations.

Getting up, you wave to your friends as you had out. Taking a look at the signs, you decide to head to the device lab. Something interests you about these items you will be training with in a couple of days, and you wouldn't mind seeing some of the work put into them.

It is a short walk over, and you are welcomed warmly in to take a look at the workshop. Tools lay out with various parts. One of the engineers explains that they are creating some of what are called Storage Devices, which are considered the simplest form, usually used for utility and training purposes. You can't make out any weapons yet, only a couple of jewels before headed out, the technician guaranteeing the devices well be ready tomorrow.

Headed back you meet up with everyone at the gym.

You choose to take a quick run, getting through about half a mile before time is called. Huffing and puffing a bit, you head over to the sword play station.

>>29940379
Picking up a simple long sword, you are barely able to show any skill. Shrugging it off as a lack of training, but you at least make it through a ten minute session. Lastly, you make a decision that may bite you in the ass. You go swimming.

It takes you a moment, but you break surface near an edge. A large hand grabs yours and hauls you out. Looking up you see Justin, pulling you far enough out to give you the ability to climb out, gasping, on your own.

Silently you thank him for not making a scene as you catch your breath. He just smiles, nodding his head as if he heard your thanks. It is likely a good idea to stop for today, backed up by an announcement mentions that it will be lights out in half an hour.

Going and drying off, you see him standing near by.

Back now. Had some stuff to do. Well be writing the next party shortly.

Having slept soundly, you are not to annoyed when Chrono comes into the bunk and wakes all of you up. You see Patrick eyeing you, as if sizing you up. "Good news, gentlemen. Our technicians decided not to sleep until the training devices were ready. This means we are going to go get your training partners. Everyone follow me."

As the guys funnel out, you see Kylie slip in, running over to you. "I don't know what you did yesterday, but the is a rumor about you and Justin among the girls. Also, Lisa seems to have it hard for you," she tells you as you both follow the group to the lab you saw yesterday.

> Write in response time!

>>29954680
>Lisa seems to have it hard for you,
Thanks a LOT, Kylie. Now we'll be off our game when we next see Lisa.
"Who, me? Why would Lisa have a thing for me?"

>>29954858
Kylie shrugs. "I am just relaying that she might. I mean, she would no stop about you ability with bows or how you did on the obstacle course."

All too soon you end up p in the lab. Each of the participants is directed to a stand. Each off the stands has a pendant or a bracelet, though some of the guy have wrist or pocket watches.

"What you see in front of you is the inactive form of your training devices." The tech says as you look at the slightly stylized pocket watch. Picking it up in your hands, you could sweat you feel it pulse against your palm. The etched surface has a simple pattern for now.

"As you train, we will update the devices to how you grow, eventually making them full fledged Armed or Intelligent Devices, depending on suitability and need. At this time, I would like everyone to go to the training room so that we can do first activations."

Once there, you are put into separate rooms, probably to avoid hurting each other. Over the speaker you hear the head tech tell you to tell the watch the command phrase 'Set Up'.

Holding the watch out, you feel like a Kamen Rider or Super Sentai member as you firmly state

"Set. UP!"

<Please Choose a Barrier Jacket Form.> you hear in your head.

You think of someone strong, from fiction. A character that was always relied on.

You picture the Right Eye of The Dragon, only in red.

You feel you own energy pulse and flow out as the watch hovers in front of you. Your training shirt flattens as light plate forms on top of it, a heavier leather jacket on to of that. Your right hand is given a flexible archer's glove, while your left arm is covered in a sturdy, but highly mobile metal gauntlet. Thick denim pants cover your legs, and riding boots over your feet finish it off.

You watch the watch disassemble, turning into one part double glaive, two part yumi bow, one part revolver. It floats to your hand as you land, a red jewel in the middle flashing start up text in another language. The area around it facing out has a pair of spikes, as if to help direct the energy you will be using. The entire bow has a slight bend to it, with no string to be seen.

<Set up complete. Please insert designation for this Spear Bow type unit.>

>Please name your device.

Also, bonuslove to any drawfags who read this who want to draw the MC with his Barier Jacket on.

One day, I promise it.

Also I suggest, Raijin for the spear..

Ten more minutes before I take the only suggestion.

>>29959312
>>29959643
I like Raijin, although it is typically depicted as masculine; I have at least seen a female Fujin, but leaving that open for Kyou would be cool.

Writing

>>29959312
>>29959852
<'Raijin' accepted. Thank you, boss. If you would like for me to change what I call you, please tell me at any time.> the soft, almost shy voice tells you as the bow rests in your hand, the jewel lighting up as it talks, the center piece to a curved plate that would act like a buckler if detached, which may be the point.

<I have two modes, boss. Sengoku mode, which we are in right now is a mid to long range sniping and bombardment form, and Basara mode, which is a glaive style spear and buckler ment for mid to close range combat. Please note that throwing the spear may require manual retrieval. The mode names are based on your mental image, but may be renamed.>

The door opens as soon as your mana levels calm down, letting you out. Everyone else is standing outside, admiring the different jackets.

>Go and immediately find your friends

>>29960144
Go and find your friends.

>>29960144

>>29960302
>>29960317
You look around, Turing to spot your friends among all the interesting outfits. It is eventually the shouting you recognize as Kyou that draws you to them.

Everyone in your group waves and cheers, clearly approving of your bad ass outfit. Kyou is dressed in a more classical kyujutsu outfit with more plates, compared to Kylie's duster I'd combat pants. Toshiiro looks closer to a Sentai member, which you make note to tease him about later. Coming up to your group, Justin is holding a helmet with face mask that is reminiscent of a shock trooper. He notices your glance at the outfit. "I used my outfit from my local STALKER LARP."he explains.

Among the weapons, you have Kyou's bow, a staff for Kylie, mecha like grappling gloves on Toshiiro, and Justin received a machine gun hammer. Comparing notes, you learn the names of the devices in similar order: Fujin, Burning Lance, Dragon, and Takhir.

Lisa soon comes up, waving to everyone, sorting a glaive and rifle combo, looking almost like....You suddenly hope she is more lucky the another flintlock using magical girl.

Shortly after everyone is tugged away for individual training, to get the basics drilled into you before you make planet fall.

> Save Point

Gotta write next part. Suggestions wanted for during the time skip.

Passing by Nanoha fan.
I'll give it a spin.
Is there any specific details on the appearance of the MC himself ?

>>29961118
Well, he's Japanese as fuck...
I don't think we ever decided on an appearance.

>>29961118
He uses Googles, Device is Spear plus Bow. Has that >>29959201 as a barrier jacket but red. His magic is red lightning.

Samurai as hell. YAMATO DAMAISHI and all that.

>>29961168
>>29961238
We did have one anon saying that suggested we'd look like Toshiro Mifune when we get older.

>>29961238
>>29961287

I'll keep those in mind then.

>>29961118
Short black hair, spiked downwards, mid to sort bangs, green eyes, Goggles as stated usually on his forehead, a bit lanky, rounded chin.

>>29961431
>>29961287
Otherwise what he said

>>29961287
We'll need to grow facial hair for that, hopefully we're able to grow a proper manly samurai beard to make Toshiro Mifune proud.

And maybe a cigarette habit when we grow up, we've hopefully got magical medical care available and they look cool, we can light them using a little spark of electricity, it'll impress the ladies.

>>29960915
For the timeskip we should probably get to know the rest of the party and get used to working together. Establish team roles and learn squad tactics, get some spars in, beat up other groups of students in training, ponder if it's possible to make a relativistic kill vehicle with the magic and technology at the TSAB's disposal, scribble down notes on napkins for this.

Also, compliment Justin's fashion sense.

>>29960955
Over the course of the next two weeks, you find yourself training more then you ever thought possible. Archery practice with Kyou, where Patrick keeps eyeing you. Trying out gunnery with Lisa, and finding out more about her family and herself. Learning how to wield Raijin's melee form competently with Chrono, as he uses you to polish his sword skills. Magical endurance training combined with basic spells from both styles.

The week flies by as you learn to fly. Your nights spent exhausted but happy, feeling like a missing part of yourself is slowly being filled as you learn more about yourself and magic. By the time you reach Mid-Childa, Raijin is practically becoming another limb, a true partner. Her watch slowly changes as you imprint on her, the Japanese kanji for her name forming on the cover, the metal taking a red tint.

As soon as you dock in orbit, Chrono calls everyone to the transfer room. "Ladies and gentlemen, it has been a wonderfully productive two weeks. I am proud to say you all can consider yourselves competent in base defensive and offensive spells, and how not to hurt yourselves. I just want to earn you that this isn't the end. Tomorrow I hand you all off to our Training Corps. Good luck to you all."

You feel a cold shiver down your spine, but before you can address it, you find Patrick in your face. "I challenge you, Takato Moriyama, to an archery contest. Right now, with your normal bow."

>Sure
> Buzz off
> why now?
> Other

>>29961974

Go full hammy YAMATO DAMASHII MODO!
"I, Moriyama Takato, accept your challenge! Name your terms."

>>29961974
"It's the other way around Patrick, family name first, Moriyama Takato.

And sure, I don't have any reason why not and we've got some free time. I happily accept your challenge, let the best man win."

Totally unrelated, but as I begin to read the archives, I cannot stop reading the MC's name as Taquito.

>>29962215
Hehehe. Dunno why.

Also, writing. Lemme know if we are hitting a wall and need a break from the quest

>>29962008
The way he gets in your face sparks some deep, old samurai part of your being, a part of you that just BRISTLES at the NERVE of this westerner for challenging you so openly. The room practically holds its breath as they wait for your response.

"I, Moriyama Takato, accept your challenge!" You reply, glaring at him, purposefully saying your name in the proper order. "Name your terms." Your voice is practically a growl, especially with how long it took this man to finally challenge you. Who does he think he is, waiting so long?

"Best of five shots. Winner gets a favor from the loser, barring anything illegal." He says, already on his way to the range. You head to the bunk room to pick up your yumi bow and meet him there.

Two taggers are set up one hundred feet away from the firing line. Patrick has his bow ready, waiting patiently for you to string up. Soon you are both ready, and get ready to fire.

You take a calming breath, focusing your ire to a pin point. Drawing the bow you release it, the shot almost hitting dead center.

The arrow soars, and buries itself into the bullseye, as if it was home.

Pat growls a little, aiming his second shot. His fibers slip, causing the arrow to go wild again.

You pull one last arrow, making it obvious to the crowd that you believe there is no more competition, easing the arrow to its notch before loosing it. It lands just high of the second, your grouping making a straight line up and down.

Your rival shots his last arrow, which just barely gets the inner ring. You hear the crowd cheer, your samurai spirit doing what it can to not gloat, but is otherwise satisfied with the defense of your honor.

You see him pack away his bow, resisting the urge to snap it in two. "How do you do that? He asks you in an even tone.

"I trust my partner. That, and physics is easy for me to mentally calculate. So math plus a bow I made myself over the years and years of practicing kyudo means a lot of it is not any one thing."

Kyou runs up, and you dodge him trying to give you a flying take hug, letting him crash to the floor. Patrick shakes his head, sighing. "I heard you were some kind of uppity prodigy. Well...maybe not uppity, but that was my take on it. I let my feelings get the better of me, but don't think I will give up trying to best you, Moriyama."

"You better not, Takato. I won't accept any less from you." He says, his mood lifted by your good sportsmanship.

At dinner you all promise to try to be on the same team, and then bid each other good night. Tomorrow is the real beginning of not camp.

Not if we're on UAW. We'll be waifuing the serious girl who tries her hardest to be all pragmatic and shit, but is too nice of a person to really pull it off. Bonus points for if she has absolute territory and a magic skirt.

Supposed to say boot camp. Stupid auto correct.

I thought UXW was the "Fuck waifus, get reality marble" route.

>>29964546
Nah, UBW is the Rin route, and the one where you learn the most about Archer.
The "fuck waifus" route is Mind of Steel, which is actually a bad end for Heaven's Feel wherein Shirou decides that destroying the Grail is more important than anything else, and is willing to killANYONE who slows him down.

Ahh. My Fate knowledge is a tad lacking.
