//------------------------------// // First Day as a Student // Story: My new life in Equestria // by Razor Colorado //------------------------------// August 5th, 1:30 P.M. Canterlot Palace How the hell am I a student..? "Are you ready to start?" Twilight asked, seeming pretty happy about having a student. "Yeah." I was pretty tired. "You remembered chapter five, right?" I nodded. "Now what you want to do is get a solid image of the object and concentrate on just that." Twilight explained to me sitting on the couch next to me. I took a stance and got an image of the first thing that came to mind, a rare black tulip. I closed my eyes and focused, an aura glowing around my horn. Soon enough a small aura floated in the air and formed a black tulip. I turned my eyes to her, holding the flower in front of my muzzle and my mane swaying in the breeze. "Wow..." Twilight seemed surprised. "F- For me?" I nodded in a hope to make her happy. "Thank you..." She took it with her Telekinesis. That's when I realized what she meant. Did she have feelings for me? No, she was just impressed, wasn't she? "It's amazing! The form is perfect, like it as just picked, impeccable." "Really?" I asked. She nodded taking a whiff of the flower. "Can you make anything else?" I nodded, an aura surrounding my horn and forming a metal tube, about one inch in diameter and a yard long. "How do you- how is this possible? I couldn't do that until I was eightteen! How old are you?" I shook my head, spinning the pipe like a staff. "Not a clue." "Wow, this amnesia took quite an affect." She put the tulip in a small gap in her gold chestplate. "Okay, what's next?" I asked, some enthusiasm myself. "Uh, resizing." Twilight read the next chapter to me. "Ready to begin?" I nodded, already taking a stance to a small purple flower vase. "Set to roll..." My horn started to glow with the vase, starting from six inches in height, to roughly three feet. "How do you continue to perform these spells repeatedly?" "How do I know? Must be as good as you!" I said with a tease. "Yeah, right. Let's try this, a force field." She challenged me. She had a temper herself! "You're on!" Hah! She had no chance! Not usually my win, but... Heh, heh! "Alright, come with me..." She had forgotten the flower completely. She led me down to an empty castle room, destroyed by rust. "This was a royal battle room, used to settle violent disputes between the princesses or guards, that is until the latest confrontation between Princess Celestia and Nightmare Moon." "Who's Nightmare Moon?" I asked in confusion. "We'll talk about it later, now take a stance!" "Okay, okay..." I was too nice... I took a stance, starting to worry a little. "Draw!" She shot a beam at me, what was it?! Shit! She never explained the spell! I improvised, using the knowledge I had, with some tweaks. A near-solid gray orb formed around me, her purple flash of light dematerialized. "Haven't had enough?" She shot a larger beam at me. As it made contact I felt the shield gettin weaker by the second. I took every last bit of strength I harbor reinforce the shield, just enough to deflect her attack. Never... Give up... Without... Defending..! I attempted a counter attack, but fell to the ground. The world went black. Twilight's eyes widened when she saw me collapse. "No..!" She ran to my side and put her front hooves on me, one on my side and one on my flank. "Wake up, please!" I didn't hear her. "Oh, dear..." She carried me to our room and lay me on the bed. "Don't worry. I'm here." The words got to me. My eyes slowly fluttered open, my forehead sore. "Are you alright?" Twilight asked me in concern and worry. "My..." "What?" "My name..." I had a vision in my blackout, a voice called me "Iketani". Her eyes widened. "What's your name?" "I..." She nodded. "Iketani..." I laid on my stomach. She laid down next to me. "You know, Iketani, you really impressed me today..." "Oh, heh heh..." I wasn't sure what to think. "I never expected you to be so powerful." She put a hoof on my back. "And... You're very..." She paused for a second. "Talented..." "Really?" No I wasn't! Was I? "Of course, your magic is amazing. Not to mention you just started." She put a hoof to my wither. "You know, I've had extreme troubles with some of the tricks you've just completed." "I would have never expected to hear such, let alone from a princess." I rubbed the back of my head. She pushed on my wither. "But you genuinely impressed me, I wouldn't lie about something like that." "Well, that's very nice to hear." I grinned, still tired from my fall. A silence filled the room, then Twilight broke it. "So..." "Yes?" I was curious of what she was going to say. "Would you..." I nodded. "Would you like to go with me to the royal dining room for dinner?" Royal dining room. Wait, royal?! Oh shit, what do I say?! "Uh, sure, if you want me to." Damn it you dumb son of a bitch! What have gotten myself into this time..?
