49 Friends?
[ Cristina pov ]
"Did you get it?" asked the goat-man, chuckling with an evil smile.
I turned to look at Thalia, who simply grinned at me. "<Don't worry, Chris,>" she said happily while giving me a hug. "<I understood all his instructions perfectly, so I will just guide you along what we need to do to impress him.>"
"Impress him?" I asked her, confused.
Why do we need to impress this guy?
"Well, I certainly wouldn't tell you to impress him, or any of them for that matter." said the goat-man. "More like 'making sure they fight you'."
Before I could tell him I had no idea what he was saying, Thalia placed her hand on my chin and looked me in the eye. "<Just nod and ignore him, Chris>"
I nodded, and the goat-man seemed pleased.
"Good, I have already spent three full days teaching you how to swing a bat properly and where to aim, any more experience will come from... well, from experience, so just do exactly what I told you and improve."
With that, the goat-man moved slightly away from me. Still close enough to see me, but not close enough to be seen easily.
"<Now is time to focus.>" said Thalia, her expression growing slightly serious. "<Go ahead and barge in just like Gleeson did when he entered to pick you up the other day>"
I began to walk forward, but my gaze focused on Thalia.
"How did he barge in?" I asked her, a confused expression growing on my usually dead-like face.
"<Sigh, my cute little Chris, honestly what would you do without me?>" she asked, more to herself than to me. Still, I felt a pang on my chest.
"You can't leave me." I told her.
"<Never,>" she replied with a soft smile. "<Not even the Gods themselves would be able to take me from you. They already tried, didn't they? And yet here I am, right next to you and only you.>"
That's right.
Thalia wouldn't leave me.
"<Now go to that house and kick the door open.>" said Thalia with a grin. I could tell there was something else in that smile, something... cold? Still, I like the cold. It feels nice, so Thalia's smile feels nice.
"Whose house is this?" I asked Thalia.
"<Well, it doesn't really matter right now.>" she replied, waving her hand. "<Just enter, say something mean about them, fight them, and win.>"
Weird, but it is Thalia who is telling me this, so it is fine.
Staring at the door in front of me, I took a deep breath before kicking it open.
Inside, everyone's attention came to me, and I could feel dozens of confused and angry stares about to explode.
'Say something mean.' I told myself. 'Wait, what would be mean?'
"<Just tell them that you came looking for warriors to fight, and that now that you have seen them you will leave and keep looking,>" said Thalia with an amused smile "<Oh, and also apologise for interrupting their pedicures or something, say you know how little girls usually throw tantrums over things like that.>"
"Who do you think you ar-" began speaking a man, moving closer in my direction, however I had ignored him up till now and would continue to do so.
"Sorry." I said with my usual cold and serious expression. "I came looking for warriors to fight, a shame there are only girls in the middle of a pedicure."
"<Not exactly what I told you, but good enough>" said Thalia, though this time I was not listening to her, instead I jumped back, and avoided a punch.
"Who. The. Freak. Do. You. Think. You. Are?!" screamed the boy that tried to punch me, sending several more fists in my direction, only to find me dodging them all.
"<Say that you are the one who will turn them into proper warriors by beating the cowardice out of them.>" said Thalia before I could reply.
"You are cowards or something like that, so I will beat you up. I think." I replied, traces of confusion mixing in my tone. The people in the cabin however didn't seem to care, and focused instead on my words.
"You are angry." I said, looking at the dozen of people around me, all of them wearing furious expressions.
"<I always knew you were a little genius!>" cooed Thalia while hugging me. "<But now is not the time to get distracted, now is the time to fight!>"
I didn't the reply of the people around me, if they even gave me any, instead I found myself dodging and hitting. My bat moved around, crashing against legs and torsos, however that didn't really give me an advantage for long.
Perhaps four or five people were down when they decided to bring out their training swords and training spears.
"<Those things are made of wood and have blunt edges,>" said Thalia while eyeing the weapons on their hands. Small scrapes and bruises were on my body, but I could barely feel them, much less worry about them at the moment. "<They won't cut you, but they will hurt more than fists if they land, so be careful.>"
And so the fight began anew, although this time I lasted much less. Three kids came down with me before I found myself covered in bruises, though they were covered in bruises as well.
"So?" asked one of the larger boys who was holding a training sword. "Did you learn your lesson now, brat?"
At this I felt confused. "I was supposed to learn a lesson?" I asked back.
Thalia didn't like when I didn't understand things. I didn't like when Thalia didn't like something.
"What? No of cours- I mean yes!" he said, which made me more confused. "You are supposed to learn not to mess with us! And not to insult us you brat! We are not cowards or people who do pedicure or whatever! We are warriors!"
"I know." I replied with a deadpan expression.
"W-Wha-? Then what the hell were you spouting before?!" he screamed in... desperation? It was a bit hard to tell emotions apart from one another.
"To fight." I replied.
"You wanted to fight us?" asked a girl from the side, one with some scars on her arms and a amused smile in her expression. A large bruise was on her jaw where my bat hit her, but I didn't think she cared about it.
"Then why didn't you just say so!" said the other boy. "We love fighting!"
"<Well, yeah but...>" muttered Thalia as a smile grew. "<Half the fun is in making them angry!>"
"Half the fun is in making them angry?" I replied, tentatively following Thalia's words to match them as perfectly as possible.
"HAHAHAHA," laughed some of the people, while others just shook their heads. The ones waking up were angrier, but some amusement coloured their eyes. "Well, she is kind of right there..."
"Whatever," said the boy that had been leading most of the conversation. "I am Carius, head of the Ares Cabin. What about you?" he asked, starching his hand to help me up.
"<Huh, well...>" muttered Thalia in an amused tone. "<Looks like you made some new friends I guess.>"

Author Note:
So, you know how I said I would die before dropping this? Well I did! But don't worry, throughout my travels across hell (because apparently pre-marital sex is indeed as bad as the bible said it was, and no there is no isekai for us) I came yup with frankly too many ideas for new stories.
Okay in all seriousness, this past six months were a mess and between having to present exams, having to change my major, having to take a job, and family situations which I'd rather not talk about, writing simply lost it's flare.
I won't be updating everyday because I am working and studying which barely leaves me any time to write, but I will try to at least post a couple of chapters a week.
Anyway, here are some of the stories which I began writing, though I won't be publishing them particularly soon because I have only between 10-30 chapters on them.
.
A Song of Blood and Fire (This one has 30 chapters so I might begin posting soon)
MC is reincarnated as Viserys Targaryen in his third life, his second life he was reborn as Azula. Basically GoT but taking a lot more from the books and the mc is a firebender. Kind of evil mc, but it is GoT so everyone is evil there.
.
DC: In God we Trust... Not
I can't say much about this one without spoilers, but it does involve some heavy scenes and has a female evil mc with powers similar to Poison Ivy in DC. She will be related to Poison Ivy, probably not in the way you expect. Really broken mc, like mind-broken, not extremely op.
.
Marvel: Memoir of a Broken Genius
MCU. Evil mc. Son of the vulture. Slight AU since Spiderman has a lot more things from the comics, like there being an actual Gwen and MJ Watson and all that. Also, Peter Parker is older than in the MCU. The mc is the same age as Peter and all that. Mc has a 'Blessing of Hepheastus' which helps him build stuff. Kinda goes the Wanda route if you know what I mean.
Incest, like a lot of incest.
.
Start as Hinata in Kumogakure
Again evil mc (yeah, I love evil mcs, sue me). Basically the attempt to kidnap Hinata is successful and the mc has to deal with being the byakugan princess in a village that really, really hates hyugas.
.
JoJo: Guns&Roses
Female Mc. Not evil mc for once. Kind of AU since here Lisa Lisa is a JoJo instead of her husband (yeah, that dude was a failure of a JoJo so fuck him). Daughter of Lisa Lisa and the same age as Jotaro (part 3). Gets adopted by Joseph so expect a lot of him.
.
DC: Embracing Evil
Okay this one is actually one of the ones that has me the most excited. It isn't a SI nor an OC. I'll leave you the synopsis below.
It is said that within the Dark Multiverse, everything that can go wrong will go wrong. Unfortunately, Damian Wayne learned that lesson the hard way, and now, as he stared at the broken and bloodied bat symbol on his father's chest, he decided not to make the same mistakes. He was birthed to be the perfect weapon, and that's what the world needs right now. The time for heroes is over, it ended with he death of the Justice League, and a new era has arrived, an era of war, of revenge, of death. Let the traitors know the fury of the few that survived.
.
Chainsaw Man: A Heartfelt Obsession
Kind of multiverse fanfic. Mc makes a deal with a devil and gets reborn into the world of Chainsaw Man. Involves quite a bit (a lot actually) of Yandere action.
.
X-Men: Escaping a Dead World
Can't say much without spoiling, but mc is the child between Emma Frost and Cyclops who was incubated in a facility run by none other than William Striker, along with a lot of other kids who are in the same situation as him. Well, that's what happens when the bad guys win, right?
.
Overlord: Assassin's Path
Mc has a system with the powers of Assassin's from the Nasuverse.
.
Dimensional Chat Group: Red-Headed Gathering
Mc got reborn as Rias and eventually gets a chat group with a bunch of red-headed people from different worlds. Guy Crimson, Antares, Kurama, Poison Ivy, Jean Grey and Erza Scarlet.
.
DxD: Sinner System
Evil Female Mc. Get's stronger by commenting sins, wether being lazy or lustful or any of the other five.
.
One Piece: Golden Chaos
Doflamingo's sister with the Gold Gold devil fruit. Obviously evil mc.
