Chapter 1186: Floor 49 Trial: High School Magic Battle Fantasy
The ticket in my hands turned into particles of light, encompassing all of us in its brilliance, and creating a powerful connection between each one of our souls.
Ding!
[You have used the [Party Ticket], all registered members of your group have become part of your Party! You will now share the same Trials, Quests, and other things. However, the Trials that are personal will have their difficulty increased based in the amount of members and their strength.]
[Registered Party Members]: [Maria (Leader)] [Lucifer] [Emeraldine] [Partner] [Nyx] [Celes] [Nia] [Jonathan] [Arthur] [Arachne]
[Those that are contracted to someone else as familiars will not be registered as Tower's Players but as [Helpers], they cannot move around the Tower on their own but can be moved as long as their contractor brings them along.]
Interesting, so that's how it works, alright!
Without further ado, we stepped into the huge gate in the underwater kingdom.
We didn't know where this would even lead us to.
But we had to trust out gut.
Eustace said that every trial was personal and unique, sometimes it was battles, and sometimes, something completely different.
Let's go then, no point in hesitating.
While my hands trembled slightly, I stepped forward, and so did everyone else with me. FLASH!
As I moved forwards, it felt like my body and soul passed through several membranes.
These membranes separated the world of Yggdrasil from whatever was beyond our eyes.
All I saw was white, there was nothing.
Then words appeared.
[Analyzing... Higher Floor beings have been detected to have stepped down into the Tower.] [Administrating Penalties... ERROR.]
[The Higher Floor beings have yet to complete any of the Trials, and the party leader's {Boundless} Status have made them unable to receive penalties at the moment.]
[All Party Members benefit from {Boundless}; penalties have been cancelled.]
[You and your party have entered into the {Floor 49 Trial: High School Magic Battle Fantasy}!]
Huh?
Once the world around us finally became clearer, we all found ourselves inside somewhere, a large building, and there were many other people with us.
I looked at the ceiling, this place was all too familiar to me, in my first life. Yeah, I can perfectly recall this damned place.
The teenagers running around, talking, gossiping, preparing themselves for classes.
The professors looked tired and exhausted, without really wanting to get anywhere. And then us...
Yes, we were here, wearing... high school uniforms. The skirt was red and black squares, white shirt, and red uniform.
Even my usually long, messy hair was all nicely tied up into several braids, resting behind my back.
I just... was left completely shocked.
I was speechless.
And the annoying sound of so many brats talking everywhere wasn't nice either!
Then, the shock continued, as I glanced to my party, they were all right behind me.
All of them were also wearing uniforms. Males wore male uniforms, with similar color schemes, and females... well, wore female uniforms, duh.
Even Myconidas was wearing... oh, female uniform, alright. I guess he does look cute with- Wait, that's not what I should be concentrating on right now!
Oh my gosh, Nyx looked so cute in her first-year uniform though, Celes as well!
And Emeraldine, Partner, and Nia just left me speechless.
I never imagined I would want to see my cuties wearing high school uniforms!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
They look stunning!
Gaaaahh! What the hell is this trial?!
"W-What in the world? Where is this place?" wondered Lucifer, he was the first to talk.
"Woooah! So many people..." said Nyx, looking around. "Mama! Where are we?"
"This is... the notification said something about a High School?" Jonathan wondered, looking very handsome.
"Y-Yeah... Um, I don't feel so comfortable with such short skirts..." Nia was constantly trying to push her skimpy skirt down a bit, trying to cover her beautiful, brown-skinned thighs. I wanted to bite them; they were so thick.
"Why did our clothes just change out of nowhere?! My equipment! Where is it?" wondered Emeraldine. "Is this what Trials are? So strange!"
"Yeah, I don't like this one bit!" said Partner. "Um, and there are so many damn brats running everywhere- Ack! Oi! Stop running around!" Partner reprimanded a group of kid that rana cross the corridor.
"Hahaha, run, you're making Partner angry!"
"Sorry, sorry!"
"Seriously why is she so grumpy all the time?"
Students were talking as if they knew Partner from before.
Okay, this is a bit freaky.
"Can we get any context?" I wondered, looking around.
Ding!
And then, finally, something showed up to clear our confusion.
[You and your party have entered into the {Floor 49 Trial: High School Magic Battle
Fantasy}!]
[To pass this Trial, you must survive in the High School for 7 Days. Don't worry, as time will
pass very fast inside of here compared to the rest of the Tower.]
[Aside from surviving, there are four Tasks you and your party must complete, and two more hidden Tasks that you can find and complete for extra rewards.]
[Pass the five Battle Tests: 0/5]
[Compete with other students and defeat them in the Student Arena: 0/10]
[Slay the Beasts that come from the Fragmented Nightmare Realms: 0/300]
[Ascend your Party to a minimum of Silver Rank: No Rank/Silver Rank]
[???]
[???]
[If you cannot complete the tasks within 7 days, the Trial will be reset back to the first day
until you can complete it or all party members die.]
"Oi, oi, this is a bit too much, we'll be here for a whole week?!" Partner complained.
"Well, it says the time goes fast so... Maybe we should enjoy it?" wondered Emeraldine. "Though I am worried about my equipment, where is it? Oh?"
FLASH!
Suddenly, by willing it, Emeraldine summoned her bow, and I also felt like her previous clothes were still equipped to her.
"I think our equipment came with us, it simply became the uniform," I explained. "I can feel my dress is the same. And weapons come out whenever we just summon them, interestingly
enough..."
"Hoh, this trial is weird, it's like we were inserted into an already existing world, is this all just an illusion?" wondered Lucifer.
"Ah, dammit..." suddenly Eustace's voice echoed behind us. "No, it's not an illusion, you got the hardest trial you could have gotten... I guess it's because the party is big. Okay, listen to
me. You got a Transmigration Trial."
"Transmigration?!"
Author's Note: Okay so this will be the next big arc! It'll be packed with a lot of new and great characters I love, and Maria and her family will go through many new experiences. Especially Maria, who will be able to relive her high school years and get to enjoy things a little bit. At the same time, the threat of this world and its mysteries will be unfolded slowly, and be assured, this world is much more complex and deeper than it appears in the surface. This will be an arc where Maria will go through a lot of character development too.
