Author's Note

This chapter is short, for a few reasons. I suddenly stalled on this story's production, and thus I need some time to resume it. I feel that I will end up trying to focus as much as my attention to update this constantly. Luckily there were no real repercussions from having taken the break because I had already planned to move onto the next phase of the story.

It will take me a while to adjust to writing with the NNN style, but I promise you that things will start to roll well as I accommodate myself. Feel free to write some comments and suggestions, and thank you for waiting for me. Anyway enjoy the chapter and I hope it bodes well with you.

PS: The first part of the chapter is based on a recommended question given by Zafire, which you can check by looking in last chapter's comments. You can also do this too, and I'll be happy to use the teacher's part to answer those questions. Also, names, I want to give those two characters a name and maybe more defined characteristics, specifically their looks, so feel free to drop some suggestions. But let's go ahead with the chapter.

The Exposition

Chapter 7:

Day 7:

The cyan unicorn took a deep breath, his legs shaking as he walked towards the front of the class. He turned around and to his dismay, already a quarter of his students were missing. Giving a moment of silence for those who have fallen and for those who’ll fall, the unicorn then held up a pointer and flipped it with his magic.

“Alright. I simply want to go ahead and congratulate you all for surviving this long. With our production at 7x that of usual, dozens of colts have sadly failed the challenge. We could only pray that whatever they’re feeling right now will pass quickly for them.” The unicorn said before turning towards the blank blackboard and the turned off monitor before sighing.

“Well, right now we can’t do very much. I can’t teach you guys anything without risking you from exploding, so here is what we’ll be going to do.” The unicorn said, before pulling out a long piece of rope and placing it in the center of the classroom. “I will be placing a soundproofing spell right where this line is. Anypony who wants to learn can pass over to my side of the room, and anybody who doesn’t can stay on the other. It’s your choice, and I’m not forcing you, but if you feel brave or risky enough, go ahead and step forward.” The unicorn stated. As he suspected, the entirety of the class stayed in their seats, unwilling to step over the line, that is until one brave familiar soul stepped over the red mark.

“C-could I ask you some questions then?” The colt asked, his legs shaking and his face covered in sweat, but otherwise, he seemed fine. The professor could help but give a light smile as he soon activated his horn and cast the spell.

“Sure thing kid. What do you want to ask?” The professor replied a bit saddened that nobody decided to step forward on the plate as well, but it was understandable due to the fear of failing and the consequences that would follow. The colt let out a nervous smile before pulling out a piece of paper.

“Uhm ok… Do futas have to go through NNN?” The colt blurted, causing the professor to take a double-take as he stepped back. He blinked at the colt who blushed.

“You’re assuming that futas even exist. Nevertheless, it’s a good question.” The professor remarked as he wrote on the board, placing an invisibility spell as well on both him, the student, and the board. “Futas have been passed down as myths and legends, as there is no historical evidence backing their existence. The first story about them revolves around a tribe called ‘The Amazonians’, one of many that broke off from Equestria during the Unification Period. Allegedly, there had been no futas in the tribe, that is until Discord arrived and in his chaos, turned various females into futas, most if not all of them in Hyper territory. Of course, none of this is backed by facts, but let’s just assume that they’re real and they’re hiding in the Undiscovered West.” The professor said, writing down some notes and symbols before proceeding.

“Being part mare part stallion, to create… their essence, they need testosterone. The curse increases testosterone, so they did likely pass through No Nut November as we do. However, given that during aerial surveillance from pegasi volunteers whenever a ‘cumpocalypse’ occurs there was no random sighting, we can draw three conclusions.” The professor took a deep breath before continuing.

“Scenario 1: Futas and The Amazonian Ponies don’t exist, period. It was just a myth, and they never entered the playing field ever.

Scenario 2: The Amazonian Tribe, being renowned for their alchemy skills in various classical tales, created a counter to the curse, but since we’re not able to find them through the lack of a cumexplosion whenever it does happen, we’ll likely never know the secret and we’ll all drown in the Final Cumplosion of Equestria.

And Scenario 3, and if they do exist this is starting to get backed up by new findings: Because they’re futas, and they were modified by Discord to have Hyper Level Sizes, their resistance may have grown to the point where they can’t lose the challenge, which might give hope for Equestria. If society somehow survives long enough for stallions to reach a Hyper Stage where they can’t burst, then Equestria is saved. But again, the most likely answer is that they simply don’t exist. Any more questions?” The cyan unicorn asked, turning to face the colt. He shook his head.

“Nope. But thanks for answering them.” The colt replied, causing the stallion to smile.

“It’s fun answering questions, especially those that are surrounded by uncertainty, allowing for speculation and potential paths to discovery to occur… Did anybody ask you to tell me this question?” The professor questioned. The colt blushed a bit before nodding.

“Yes. Somepony called Zafire approached me and told me that they were interested in seeing if futas existed in Equestria, as they wanted to ‘check them out’ so to speak.” The colt stated. The professor let out a sigh.

“Ah yes. Zafire Heart you say? Interesting. Hopefully, others will end up asking these types of questions. But anyway, I’m just going to rest here. If you want to ask me any other questions, or if anybody else wants to ask a question to me, relay it to me ok?” The stallion asked with a smile. The colt nodded and thus the professor decided to meditate, doing his best to ignore the sleeping lion in his loins.

“Wait… You’re not lying right?”

“Of course not my Captain. Unless the machine made a mistake, all of this is true.” Health Check replied as she noticed Shining Armor’s shocked face. The white unicorn tried to respond but shock prevented him from opening his mouth.

“Sweet Celestia… This… This is groundbreaking, you know that right?” The married stallion stated, prompting the white pegasus to nod.

“Indeed. It’s quite ironic that the first male to reach Hyper levels before turning 19 was an innocent colt like Midnight.” Health Check said, still surprised at what she had just recently discovered. Shining Armor slowly nodded.

“Well uhm… I guess that explains why he’s been so innocent?” Shining theorized, only for Health Check to shake her head.

“Not really. He probably would be as skilled as you, but it’s more likely due to the neurotoxin training he received. But I can’t lie that it had some effect on him remaining pure.” The mare said. Shining continued to stare at the document that she had handed him when she had arrived in disbelief. If it was all to be believed as true, that would make Midnight just a few inches shorter than Shining, yet at a much younger age! Imagine the growth he’d experience if he continued to grow!

“... Why are you showing me this? Wouldn’t you have sent this to some excited scientist and brought Midnight along to ‘study’?” Shining said, becoming a bit defensive at the thought of the young blue pegasus being taken away for experimentation. Health Check raised her eyebrow upon seeing the stallion’s shift in posture.

“I would’ve, but it’s NNN, and even if they were excited at the possibility of studying the first Pre-19 Hyper Stallion, they wouldn’t want to risk releasing The Final Cumpocalypse. On that note though, Moonlight mentioned going to Discord and trying to convince him to allow Midnight to live a normal pre-NNN era stallion life, so that’s a thing.” The white unicorn stated, causing Shining’s eyes to widen.

“That might end up being an issue. He might be an ally, but with Discord, we can’t tell what he’s going to do when he finds out about Midnight. I think I’ll go ahead and find him, and perhaps tell him to continue training with Gallus. It’s preferable to risking visiting the Lord of Chaos, especially during this month.” Shining said, growing increasingly worried at what would be the consequences of Midnight going through a Cumplosion. The mare shrugged.

“Look, it’d be the same thing as if we did nothing and allowed a cumpocalypse to destroy Equestria in the long run. I think that they should at least make an attempt, but you decide what you want to do. Anyway, I need to go. Colts are starting to drop from here and there and soon I’m going to be flooded with emergency requests. If we live another year without a cumpocalypse, I’ll hopefully be able to see you again soon to request Midnight’s presence for the scientific examination.” Health Check said before turning around and leaving. Shining gave her a simple nod before turning his gaze back at the document and reading it over and over again.

“It just doesn’t make any sense!” Shining exclaimed. “He should still be able to feel it, right? His body would have certainly needed the time to feel the change within him and declare his impulses as problematic, and would’ve resulted in him asking those questions!” The white stallion stated before sighing. “I’m going to have to go talk to Midnight though. Can’t risk Midnight getting hurt.” The unicorn took a deep breath before lifting himself, leaving the paper behind and unguarded as he left the room and closed the door.

For a moment, the room stayed silent, until the ruffling of leaves was heard outside. Slowly, the window began to budge before being lifted from the outside as a cyan pegasus flew up and walked towards Shining’s desk. Her eyes sparkled upon seeing the document, and upon viewing the contents inside, a malicious grin formed on her face.

“Hmph. Seems that I underestimate that kid. Looks like I have a lot of work to do.” Rainbow Dash said, before letting out a laugh. She could already imagine it. Canterlot and the whole world being flooded by the Final Cumpocalypse. Her laughter soon echoed throughout the room as she jumped out of the window before flying out.
