Even Goddesses need love

“So Sunset was dating the human version of you?” Rarity asked a predatory smile on her lips as she caught the whiff of a scandal and gossip. Twilight sighed, rolled her eyes and nodded, “yes Rarity you heard me correctly.” Rarity’s smile widened and was about to say something until Twilight raised her hand.

“No Rarity nothing else happened between me and Sunset,” she deadpanned at the fashionista.

“Aww,” Rarity pouted disappointed, while the others snickered at her reaction.

Twilight shook her head at the fashionista’s antics, before continuing.

Having bought everything I would need for living and learning here and bidding Sunset farewell, Jo and I made my way to the school proper. As I passed the threshold of the school doors, I felt a hand grab my right wrist. The hand grabbing mine belonged to a grinning Luna who started pulling me along, “welcome Twilight it is now time to give you a few tests to see where we should place you. Will you be a Night witch, a Valkyrie, not to be confused with the winged verity or perhaps you will become a paladin or dark knight, a gunslinger or even sentinal. Although it’s likely you’d be a pure mage.” she explained along the way until they had pushed through a set of double doors. Luna let go of my wrist which was now aching thanks to her roughness in pulling me along.

I groaned as I walked up to Luna rubbing my wrist.

Luna still beaming turned to a line of men and women, with various armaments, she announced, “alright class, we are here to demonstrate each of the various classes to our newest student, Twilight Sparkle. When I call you, you will perform a technique or two.” the students smirked and became restless as they warmed up.

“Paladin, stalwart defender and healer” Luna introduced as a heavily armored male Earthman stepped forward, his white armor gleamed, he held a single handed mace in his right hand and shield on his off arm. He shouted an intimidating roar as he slammed his mace against his shield golden light surrounded his body before charging at a training dummy his shield in front that was promptly smashed to bits.

“Valkyrie, fierce and swift, cutting foes down.” Came Luna's call as a young Valkyrie woman wearing medium armor and dual wielding a long sword in each hand she charged using her wings to twist in the air to bring her twin sword down on the target dummy before rapidly slashing alternating between each sword savagely.

“Gunslinger, projectile death from afar” Luna continued unphased, a short man stepped forward twin handguns at the ready. Wearing a duster over form fitted clothes. He start by simple shooting his right then left gun in quick succession, before launching himself up twisting as he left the ground and rapidly shot off several shots in a horizontal whirlwind of death before landing in a crouch he then shot his guns as he rose them one after the other like a fan and then kicked the dummy up reloaded and then rapidly aimed upwards at it and shot up at the helpless target keeping it in the air before letting it fall.

“Dark knight, mirror of the paladin, darkness and destruction.” another Earthman wearing black plate carrying a two handed sword, stepped forward before slamming his right foot down as he slashed and twisted and slashed again creating a cross shaped black crescent that sliced through the dummy in front of him.

“Night Witch, stealth and shadow embodied.” a tall woman stepped forward before crunching and disappeared in a cloud of shadow reappearing behind her dummy slicing through rapidly, this display made me shiver in fear. a teleporting stealth user is a harrowing prospect. I noted to myself internally.

“sentinel, the impregnable fortress,” a tall woman in full plate grinned, she held a two handed sword in each hand and a kite shield attached to her left arm. This one hand a partner in the same gear turning to each other they charged laughing, swords parried each other the odd attack to awkward to block with sword was blocked by shield and responded to in kind with their other swords, they both lashed out with kicks that connected pushing them back.

“mage, human artillery and support!” came Luna's last call a robed female mage stepped forward raising her hands a fireball launched at her dummy, obliterating it.

“So Twilight choose,” Luna said crossing her arms turning to me.

I thought long and hard.

As I was busy thinking Luna interjected, “be aware you're going to face the one your going to choose.”

I smirked I couldn't choose so I decided to make my own, I doned medium armor, a kite shield on my left armor, sheathed two broadswords on my back two short swords at her waist. And daggers sheathed behind her back.

Luna frowned when I turned around magic arcing over my arms, “are you sure, making a new class won't be easy?” Luna asked I just nodded firmly she shrugged “night witch, sentinel, mage, valkyrie step forward.” They did as they were told grumbling, “this is not a death match, victory is achieved by knockout or surrender.” Luna added. I drew the daggers, short swords and two broadsword in my magic floating in my magic.
I stood with my swords flourishing, the others looked at each other before shrugging.

The first to act was the Night Witch anticipating this I teleported back a few feet as she reappeared I was behind her, I used the flat of a broadsword to knock her out. Turning to the others the mage rained fireball after fireball at me, which I blocked with a shield, grunting under the strain, I gather electricity and fired twin orbs of lightning at him. He blocked it with his own shield but the force of the impact shattered his shield and knocked her back.

The valkyrie and Sentinel decided to tag team me as I used shield spells kite shield and sword to parry block and using a wave of kinetic energy I pushed them back before, sending a crescent of darkness at the unsuspecting sentinel his shield barely holding, I then increased their local gravity crushing them into the floor. The mage had returned in time to dispel the gravity and began helping her comrades up. I rushed forward hands still sparking from electricity I grabbed the sentinel and the valkyrie shocking them unconscious. I suddenly felt a pain in the back of my head as I felt my consciousness fading.

Luna stared, “well that happened, okay let's get to healing.”

“Ah you’re finally awake,” I heard as I groaned, the painful throbbing telling me I had been knocked out.

“While you were out I took the liberty of looking over the idea you had, intriguing. I probably would take a few things out namely the night witch and valkyrie and stick with mage and sentinel. What are you going to call it?” Luna asked with a smirk

“siegebreaker, fortress’ retaliation.” I replied weakly, “focuses more on mass damage dealing, specifically anti-Army. “

Luna paused for a moment to consider the implications, her hand cradling her chin, “That certainly could work, might require tweaking to optimise it, but you can do that while you train. I’ll also help as I admit, I am quite intrigued.”

I nodded and smiled, “in the meantime what should I do?”

“I hear that Celestia also wanted to see you about your classes,” Luna muttered absently, “I suggest you don’t keep her waiting.” Luna advised me with a warm smile, and a bear hug.

I ran out the door and made my way towards the principal's office. I hope I am not tardy!?
