Author's Note

I'm not sure I can continue this since it's not too liked. I finally laid down the foundations of the story, but it doesn't seem to be good enough. I'll write more once this is better received. Why write something if not a lot of people like it.

Chapter 5

"Sorry I'm late. I was stopped by some guy at the front." I said as I met up with Dash and Shy in the auditorium.

"No problem, he's always hounding on students about conduct and ranting about how modern fashion is degrading." Dash said while I sat next to her. Shy was on the other side of Dash so I could keep an eye on her quiet easily.

"Come on you two, he's only doing his job. Don't blame him for something he can't control." Dash looked down while I rolled my eyes at that. The guy was a dick, so I didn't care. "Don't act like that mister." Damn it, she saw it. I thought I hid it rather well.

"I'm a bit surprised that he didn't say anything about your haori. I don't think it fits in the school's dress code." Fluttershy looked down at the bright yellow coat around her arms and smiled.

"It's a cultural thing. Dash, you should know that I was originally from Neighpan. We've been friends for years." Dash looked at it before looking at me for a second. I couldn't help but smile as I knew what she was going to ask.

"Yes Dash, I'll make you one later." I said before Rainbow did a little dance in her chair. It was kinda cute so I soaked in the sight. "Anyways, you came from another country, Shy?" My question would go in answered as the lights cut out with the exceptions being the ones lighting the stage.

On the stage walked a few of the teachers that I saw outside, including the asshole. I guess it was a way of having the students thank the teachers who were gracias enough to help. I believe this was a bit belittling since they seemed all high and mighty about it. I already didn't like them. Someone walked in from the side of the stage, who I guessed was the principal, before stopping at a podium.

"We are grateful for all of you attending this ceremony. We have no one absent in this graduating class. We also hope you had a good summer vacation and didn't get hurt during it. Finally, to wrap up the pleasantries, I want to personally thank you for your continued attendance." A rather young mare said while lightly bowing. Me not understanding what was happening, acted on impulse and stood up. I offered a light bow to the mare. I still don't understand why I did that other than my body acting on its own. "I'd like to welcome our newcomer to the class. He doesn't have wings, but he is exceptionally strong and I hope you all get along with him." I could see the light shine on me as I bowed once more as a sign of respect. I sat back down after the light turned off. "Now, on to the mater at hand..." She began to speak which I zoned out. It was basic rules that you'd expect at a school so I didn't pay attention.

She mentioned a few things such as a recent problem with Magic Grass consumption. Apparently, there hase been a few upper class men who have been distributing the drug around the school. The final lecture was about how to report the pony and how to avoid situations like that. Unfortunately, as long as the supplier is shipping out the product, then they're will always be dealers.

"With that, the assembly is over. Please find your dorms and get settled. We'll begin classed next week." I stood up and looked at the other two for some form of explanation. I don't have much experience in this so I can't help.

"We should get to our dorms quick before the rest. It's going to be a battle royal in the halls." Dash said as she abd Shy flew away. I couldn't jump aster them without risking landing on someone.

The crowd began to clump together as they tried to leave through the doors. I was in th middle of it all and being squished isn't the best idea. Once I wasn't almost being crushed, I jumped to the rafters above to wait it out. I wasn't sure if anyone saw that, but I tuned out the noise.

I took out my phone and looked through it... It was factory reset so all I had on it was what Shy and I put on it. I should mention how weird this world is with technology. Cellphones are widely used, but there is no internet at all. Somehow, games are still available for download which makes me questions what convoluted system the service providers have.

The phone was objectively useless since I was the only one of us to have a phone. I couldn't call anyone other than Fluttershy's parents who need a break. They've been teaching me what I need to know about this world. History was easy to grasp and read. Most of the books were written in Neighponese, so I learned a knew language.

However, that flame that was product was incredible. I didn't think.i was capable of such spells due to my lack of a horn. I wasn't sure what triggered it, but maybe I can think of the feeling and replicate it... No, that's anime bull crap. Recalling a feeling is almost impossible to do when it just happens out of the blue.

I held my hands up and focused on them in an attempt to produce those eloquent flames. Yeah, I probably look like I was trying to poop off the edge and hit one of the kids bellow. After that, I cleared my mind and focused on nothing but the chaotic movements of the flame. Considering that the feeling that caused those flames has been pushed further in the past, it's an unreliable source. Finding the secrets of the flame will be daunting, but I will figure it out.

I was so close to finding a new way out of this place. If need be, I'll break a window. I want put of this place so I can get to work.
