I say let him give a chance see if he's able to get in Celestia's gifted unicorn School
I made this account just to be able to favorite this story, I will say without a doubt I am loving how your doing this so far. Thank you for the hard work put into this. I look forward to watching how this grows. Get it grows… lol
Part of me was hoping for option#2 even though having him flying under Celestia's radar (at least for a while) may have been the better choice story-wise (but what do I know? I couldn't write myself out of a wet paper bag).
I guess a lot also depends on what version of Celestia exists here. Hoping we eventually find out either directly or indirectly.

Well that would certainly draw attention to him, something he's very not interested in. I'm not saying that or something similar won't happen down the line, but I can tell you that as of right now I don't have anything written out that will place him there. I would say that the odds of him actually attending are not very high, but like I've pointed out a few times, I've occasionally gotten to a point in the story where I really planned to go one way and thought "ehh, I see this actually playing out this way instead, given the situation." I guess we'll figure it out at some point huh?
I'm of the opinion that CSGU is not just a place for unicorns to learn, but it's also somewhere that magically powerful individuals (AKA "potentially dangerous ponies") can have somepony monitoring them. That's how I would expect a smart ruler to set it up, at least... dangle that carrot out there (the prestige of attending, the opportunity to learn, the attention of the princess, etc.) and, if there's somepony that doesn't come take a bite, then use the stick (nothing too harsh initially, just strongly encourage them to attend - i.e offer scholarships w/ a promise of a good job after - while pointing out the yummy carrot).
That's why I believe it to be set up specifically for unicorns. Who'd'a thunk an earth pony could be scary, after all. What'll he do? Feed us to death?
Who knows, maybe something will go wrong and that's where he'll end up, but right now it's exactly what he's afraid of... hence his reluctance to go with Option 2.
Yeah, she would not torch a foal... Putting him/her in Tartarus next to magic sucking centaur ? Well, that is a different story... 😏
Why does every chapter have a recap, where he tells ponies what just happened? It's starting to feel a little "last time, on Dragonball Z!!!!"

The recaps are typically the family sitting down and having a "so here's what happened today" moment, that way the parents, or sometimes others, that weren't present get an opportunity to weigh in or just a way for Cure to tell a funny story or whatnot. Keep in mind that this is primarily a SoL story. The "what can we do with magic" part of it is mainly because I genuinely can't imagine a human who grew up watching the media available in the late 70s, 80s, 90s, and since being like "Oh you mean I can have real super powers? Nah, I'mma go find me an office job!" or whatever. There are SoL stories on this site that are close to that premise and some of them are very entertaining reads, though.
Also, I think you mentioned Celestia isn't tagged in another comment. You're correct, she is not because, as of yet, she has not made an appearance. Will she ever? I really can't imagine her not at some point, even if incidental. I did point out in the story description that tags will evolve with the story. Hell, given his powerset I'm wondering if I may accidentally get in trouble for not having the "gore" tag even if I don't really think a blurb I wrote qualifies. I guess my defense there is "you read an M-rated biomancer fic and were surprised when something gross happened? Really?" but that may not cut the mustard.
We'll see! Either way, thanks for taking the time to read and comment.
I think Cure may be a bit biased here based on his experience of leaders from his old world. We're talking about Celestia here, the princess who took a look at Discord of all creatures and said "i know he could literally end all reality as a joke, but let's try to befriend him anyway". And they did. Compared to Discord, I think a biomancer don't hold a candle to him as a threat, and yet the princess as willing to give him a chance. Why would Cure assume she wouldn't give him a chance too?
For all talk of not letting emotions run their decision, they sure are letting fear and worry have the last say here.

IIRC his release basically happened with a gun pointed at his head, too. Regardless, I think Cure effectively expressed his concerns. If he knew more about her and her history with biomancers (or lack thereof) then he could make a better informed decision. The safe route, in this instance, is to get more info.
Minor Spoiler, so don't read until after Chapter 20 if you care: Keep in mind that 20 takes place literally the day after 15, but he does bring up the idea of getting actual legal advice so he can better choose a route. We're only 5 days into the story at Ch 20, so really going from "getting his mark" to "seek legal advice" only took a few days. Life advice - If you want to know if something you're doing is illegal, call an attorney, not the cops.
She’s racist!!! That’s what’s wrong with her.
Not sure if this is a continuity error or not, earlier in the story it seemed like ponies had no idea what cells were. Maybe I'm misremembering and it was just the one character but this does feel a little weird either way.

I did the same lol this story is to good to miss a update. I’m re-Reading the story so next weeks update can get here faster.
Her mark is a sun, not a crown or whatever. Also thear well be a filly 90 years in the future that well have a tiara as a cutie mark would she be butter as a ruler
Very interesting, especially that bit about Celestia.
"don't worry fam, humans have a massive collection of what-if scenarios and worst-case horrors. You have no idea how TC much I truly don't want any of that happening..."
