No Big Deal

^^ 'Halt' Glyph ^^

--- Day 100 AD ---

I slowly carved the last Glyph out of pure magical energy, something that wouldn't burn in the Suns atmosphere, but would instead stick to the surface and sink in.

It was almost a mile across, shaped loosely like a circle, and hellishly tiring to make.

I jumped off the edge, and my Roc's who'd been patrolling the solar system picked it and it's siblings up, carrying them off towards their destinations, one on each planet and moon and the sun, obviously.

I went into the pit that was my current Nexus, and constructed the last Glyph, then raised my left hand. All the parts of my city were marked with their own glyph, and they started constructing themselves, falling into the places I'd prescribed.

A city named Nexus witnessed its first and last dawn, simultaneously, and I grinned. "Bon Chance..." I said, raising my right hand, activating the Glyph's that were all placed on their respective targets around the solar system.

I felt a small tug in my stomach, but that was the end of any changes. I exited my pit, and found nothing had changed, or so it seemed.

I grinned, and looked at my gauntlet monitor. My teacher was frozen, reading the specs that were circulating through.

All the momentum of the solar system had suddenly been dissolved, and turned into pure energy, powering the Glyph's. They were constantly being fed new energy as the planets and even the sun true to move. All the momentum of the entire solar system was an extreme amount of energy, enough to power the Glyph's eternally, as long as they kept trying to move.

I grinned again. "Safe to say I got that Master Rank?" I asked.

She chuckled. "Grand-Master, more like. You literally just Altered the Cosmos." She laughed in what seemed like innocent joy.

"It's No Big Deal." I shrugged, disconnecting, and mounted Gem. "Let's get back to the College, Gem. We need people to live in our little city." I said.

--- Day 105 ---

I blocked Tizzy's sword easily, and then sidestepped her, knocking her feet out from under her without effort.

"Gr! How do you keep beating me like I'm just an annoying child?!? I AM A TRAINED WARRIOR!!" She shouted.

"You're weak. And slow. And you're well trained, but that is no match for my own training." I said simply.

She sighed, centered herself, and then attacked again.

I grabbed her sword by the blade. "And add in the fact that I'm nearly indestructible, and you're bound to lose." I said blandly.

She sheathed her sword. "Fine. I hope you manage to become a MPWS... I'm only one of 4 here at the college. The rest have moved on to become guards in the private sector or soldiers in the emperor's Military."

"I wonder... Does being a general count as being part of the Emperor's inner circle?" I asked offhandedly.

"Hmm... Not really. The inner circle is comprised of his family members, the Mage Council, and his Advisor." She shrugged.

"And what's it take to be part of the Council?"

"You have to be a Grand-Master in at least three Subjects, and you have to be elected by the current council." She said.

"Term?"

"Until you're dead?" She shrugged.

I raised an eyebrow. "Are there any shifters on the council?"
