Chapter 11:

The professor let out a soft sigh as he sat down in his chair, hoping to see somebody entering the classroom. After becoming bored, the cyan unicorn began to tap on a name sign that sat on his desk, which read ‘Aqua Waterfall’. His ear flickered and he suddenly looked up as he saw a familiar student enter through the room.

“Hey, View Signal. It’s nice to see you back again.” Aqua Waterfall said as he looked at the green earth pony, his black mane covering his bluish eyes. The young student pushed it out of the way before smiling at the professor.

“Yeah. Sorry that I’m late…” Signal’s voice trailed off as he noticed the empty seats around him. “Uhm… where did they all go?” The professor simply sighed.

“Well ever since the seventh day, things rapidly began to increase for the worse. Our ‘production’ had rapidly multiplied, even more than what is now ‘normal’, as if the dam that kept the Final Cumpocalypse from… *cough* *cough*... coming. Most students are now in the hospital, some even losing the challenge prematurely and going through its effects, which have been much more powerful than previous years.” Aqua Waterfall answered, giving a silent prayer to Faust to protect those who were already going through the effects while keeping safe those who could end up in the same situation. View Signal simply shook his legs at the thought.

“Oh… uhm… if you don’t mind, could we continue the lesson? Like, I think everybody who isn’t going through the effects is most likely treating this as a no school week or something, but since I’m here I might as well learn something, right?” View Signal proposed as he took a seat and brought out his notebook. Aqua Waterfall couldn’t help but smile.

“Alright. What do you wish to learn then?” The cyan unicorn asked, noticing View Signal flipping through the pages of his blue book.

“I got some more questions from two friends who asked the same question, which is how does the Medical Health Department for Hyper Stallions find out which colts will end up becoming Hyper?” The green earth pony replied, prompting Aqua to begin scribbling on the blackboard.

“Well, first of all, genetics do have a certain role. While our ability to look through DNA is lacking and still needs some time to be researched, it’s logical that the son of a Hyper Stallion would become a Hyper Stallion himself. But other than that the department wouldn’t have any real way to know when a colt has the potential to become one until puberty hits. Considering how normalized NNN is to our society at this point, every time a colt loses the challenge, we begin to... measure how much they produce, as well as how high their resistance was for their first NNN challenge. Hyper Stallion candidates will obviously last longer into the month and would produce more in their first and likely only NNN month fail. After passing their first month, Hyper Stallions usually don’t explode in future challenges unless they’re deliberately triggered or if the Cumpocalypse event happens, in which case no Hyper Stallion, regardless of their resistance, would be able to survive. It’s a switch that you can’t shut off.” Aqua Waterfall stated though he couldn’t help but feel worried at the recent events. It almost reminded him of volcanoes, and how earthquakes and small eruptions would always precede the main explosion. Was this just a normal NNN year but just a bit more chaotic due to how many Hyper Stallions were being born or was it the prelude to their final destination?

“Was there any colt that didn’t fail their first month?” View Signal questioned as he wrote down some more notes. Aqua Waterfall paused for a moment before looking through a file that had been sent to him that morning. The contents inside… surprised him, to say the least, and somewhat terrified him at the most.

“Apparently one did, which probably means that we’re entering a new stage that we’ll probably never get to study if it’s true that the events that are happening around us are signs of the Final Cumpocalypse.” The professor replied, constantly rechecking the information that this ‘Health Check’ mare sent to him and others who were part of the Health Department for Hyper Stallions. Again, given how chaotic things were becoming, he’d doubted he’d get the chance to meet this colt that was currently defying what even Hyper Stallions can’t do, and all he could do was theorize.

“Huh. Well, that’s interesting to hear.” Signal replied absentmindedly. “Though given how Equestria had to deal with NNN for over a thousand years, wouldn’t somebody have developed something to prevent these things from happening? Like I know it might sound humiliating, but surely some stallions tried to change themselves into mares to skip the month… right?” The earth pony asked, tapping his hooves together. Aqua Waterfall simply blinked at him, his mouth slightly wide open.

“Uhm… That is actually ingenious, however, there exists no gender swap spell that I know of, otherwise a test would’ve already been conducted as to whether stallions can skip the month by making themselves into mares. Like, you’re trying to break the curse by using a potential loophole, and since the curse was made by Discord, an incredibly powerful entity, you’d probably need somewhere on the level of an alicorn to perform it. You’re basically messing with nature itself. But no, nobody had tried to change genders. Even Twilight explained that she was using illusions to make it seem like she was turning mares into stallions and back in her Second Magic Spell Duel against Trixie.” The professor explained. Signal scratched his chin, eager to ask another question now that nobody was around to stop him.

“Where does all the cum produced from stallions who failed the challenge go to? Do they donate it to sperm banks? Experiment on it? Dump it into a vortex?” The colt asked, prompting the professor to once again refer to his notes.

“Let’s see here… Back when Equestria was first dealing with NNN, stallions would end up… releasing their loads… into a ravine. Of course, the whole ‘vortex’ idea soon became used when said ravine was filled to the brim. Experiments were conducted with some sperm in the name of genetics when it became a thing, and sperm banks were formed just recently because there are hopes to use them as a way to control how many stallions and mares are born, thus limiting the effects of a Cumpocalypse. And I think that’s just about it in that regard.” Aqua Waterfall stated. View Signal nodded.

“Thanks. Well, anyways I don’t think I have any more questions right now, though I’ll make sure to ask my friends if they have any more, alright?” The earth pony stated. Aqua shrugged.

“Go ahead whenever you want, though make sure you take care of yourself! This month seems like it will become the roughest Equestria has seen, so don’t blow yourself up.” The cyan unicorn stated. Signal simply nodded again.

“Alright. Thank you.”

“No problem.”
