[To my Faithful Student, Demi Cube

How have you been doing lately? It's been 3 months since I have last received a letter from you, and whilst I am fully aware of your habit of overindulging in your studies for long periods of time, it should be noted that I expect to see at the very least, a single letter from you informing me of your well being

Best Regards, Princess Celestia]

I stare at the letter that had just been sent to me in a bit of shock

“Has it been that long…?” I question myself, before trotting over to the table to my side and began writing

“Dear Princess Celestia, I'm Alive, Your Faithful Student, Demi Cube” I said out loud, writing my letter back. A short letter, but I didn't have time for things like this, I need to get back to my studies

Sending over the letter to Princess Celestia using Magic, I return to my table and begin to read yet again, before…

In a burst of green flame, a scroll appears on my table… Opening it I begin to read its contents

[To my Faithful Student, Demi Cube

I feel that your studies have been beginning to hinder your personal life. And whilst I do care for your interests, it would be best for you to get more practical experience. Which is why I am sending both you and Twilight off to Ponyville in order for you to make some friends, as well as oversee the 1000th Summer Sun Festival

Best Regards, Princess Celestia]

My eyes widened into saucepans

“Wait what?”


I can't fucking believe this…

This has GOT to be an abuse of power or something…

I was now flying out of Manehatten in carriage being flown by two royal guard Ponies

I didn't bother to remember who they were, or their names but, I made sure to give them a thanks as we landed

And right in front of me was a certain purple pal of mine

“Twilight, it's so good to see you” I said, my voice laced with a kind of sarcasm that was blatantly apparent

“Just as nice to meet you” She replied… before we both broke down into small fit of laughter. She rushed over to me and gave me a hug as I reciprocated and

Me and Twilight were friends, but with how we're the only two direct students of equestria, a sort of friendly rivalry was formed between us, which caused moments like this to occur

Celestia seemed to encourage it, and so this happened

Seems we would be living together as well as we compared our letters and saw the same address written on it

“This place is kind of empty though…” I remark “Wanting to make friends in a Ghost town, does she want us to practise necromancy?”

I asked rather seriously in questioning, but Twilight simply brushed it off as a joke of some sort. This seems to happen a lot with us

We wandered through the streets looking for somepony, anypony to talk to… and we happen to have met a Pink pony with frazzeled hair of similar shade

“Maybe we should start by gathering directions to the first place?” I look towards the letter and began to read “Banquet Preparations at Sweet Apple Acres”

Twilight decided for the first encounter, and I decided that delegating the task would be faster than doing it myself

“Anyway, Im gonna go… check out the accommodations! You go do… whatever” I briskly began to canter away

“Wait, you can't just leave me to-” She stared at the trail of dust and sighed “and like always, I have to do all the work…”

“Well, at least you got me!” Twilight chuckled slightly and agreed with her psuedo-brother

Now that I’ve pushed the task to my associate, I entered my humble abode after a bit of wandering. A not so simple library built on the inside of a tree

I felt my eyes heave…

“Oh yeah… I haven't slept in a few days since I’ve been so busy… might as well enjoy this vacation a bit and hit the hay…”

Walking over to the first bed I saw, I fell instantly into a deep sleep


"Dreamscape! Oh how I’ve missed you! Well…”

A single book appeared in my hands, and yes, I have hands. I figured that since I can do whatever I want in here, might as well use a body I’m much more acustomed to

“Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 8-10”

I've been doing some research on how Satoru Gojo’s abilities work within the Manga, and… yeah, its practically impossible to replicate in real life

Because Magic in itself is a positive energy, if I could theoretically get limitless, I would have ‘Aka’ (Red) first, and 'Ao' (Blue) would be theoretically impossible. Since I would have no way to create a negative energy through a positive energy. Its possible if I was born with a Negative energy source, because through the multiplication of two negative energies, I could create positive ones, but since I don’t… yeah I can't get it anytime soon

Which means no ‘Murasaki’ (Purple) for now, or, ever actually

‘Mugen’ (Infinity) is however, theoretically possible and my best chance at ever using Gojo’s Technique

Even he can only use it through having both the technique ingrained into his mind and the utterly broken Rikugan (Six-Eyes)

“It would be so fucking cool though…”

In order to at least create 'Mugen' I’d need to calculate the vectors and have knowledge of almost all the space within my immediate surroundings, before using a shit ton of magic to divide literal space. If I tried I could probably do it but not to an Infinite degree like Gojo. ‘Mugen’ divides space infinitely and therefore slows down an object infinitely, making it unable to reach Gojo, but for me I could only slow it down to maybe a Tenth of its original speed, and thats with using all the magic I have in my body all at once

“Twilight may be able to do something similar with her cutie mark but she would die from the information overload…”

I would also die of course… but that isn't much of a problem to me, after all I’ll come back after a bit

Maybe if she also had the abilities I had, she could get a perfect ‘Mukagen' like Satoru Gojo, since she could practise without worry for her own life like me…

“I still don't have my cutie mark, so its a major probability that it isn't related to magic in the slightest, or my physique as an ‘Ajin’ makes it impossible to have one… which is a major nerf, but I guess it fits a broken power like immortality”

Still… it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Im only on par with Twilight due to my ability to recklessly use magic as much as I want without consequence, but I have a much lower amount of Magical Power, or ‘Mana’ as they call it, than her

“I could try and tap into the energy that makes up Icarus, but experiments with that so far say its impossible… and if I do tap into it, what if its a finite resource? I’ll lose my immortality and Icarus… mass can't be created from nothing, and I can revive a (seemingly) infinite amount, that I know due to the highest death record set by an Ajin being in the thousands if I remember… and probably still going up... so if not infinite, its a stupidly large pool of energy”

Then again those same fears of it being a finite resource should make me avoid death entirely, so… I mean, if I die, I die, right? I've done 'it' (suicide) a bunch experimenting with how my physiology works, so, I don't think it would be that painful… well it probably would but I'm used to it

But then again, the same idea of maybe the energy that creates Icarus being a positive one… then I'm back to square one with no 'Ao'. It sounds impossible but I do love the challenge

“Hmm?” As these thoughts flooded my head as I read, I noticed a character… a pretty important character

“Well maybe I could replicate that… albeit in an incredibly scuffed and shrewd manner…”

If I do replicate this character, I would probably suffer from the same consequences… but death returns me to my original state, so it isn't a permanent change

“This might just work…!”

I mean, whats the worse that can happen? I die?
