Chapter 11 - Frida's Training: Step 1

Micro sat in his bed thinking about a few things. First, was the possible training he was going to have with Frida. She seemed nice enough (though perverted) and if she was as good as she said, then he could probably learn a good deal from her.

Second, was the fact that all the loot grinding his clones did had the added bonus of doubling the skill level.

Kage Bushin No Jutsu (Lv20)

Active (MP Cost: Varies. Min 50 per Clone))

The ability to make an exact copy of one's self. The more MP you use to make the clone, the more it will have to use for itself. One decent hit will make it vanish.-All memories of the clone will be transferred to the original upon dispelling

-Any physical stat buffs will not transfer

-Any experience earned by a clone will be added to this skill's experience rather than the caster's

-Current Clone Limit: 20

This was from the fact that all the experience the clones gain was added to the skill rather than him. This allowed for a near endless loop to form. The more mobs his clones fought, the more clones he could summon. The more clones means more mobs, and so on.

Third was the original goal of the clones being in the dungeon. The loot was basically the same. Ribs, teeth, etc. He might be able to do something with them later but for now...he was just really happy they stacked in his inventory.

What really stunned him was the money. He had left the clones grinding for a few hours and he was more than pleased with the result.

$4627

That money was insane! Though he knew this steady stream of cash was going to slow eventually. Why? His level.

He wanted to level up. And as with most games, he was willing to bet that when his level goes up, he will get less and less from the lower level mobs. Meaning he would eventually have to create higher level dungeons. Micro already had a few ideas, but for now he was trying to decide what to do with his funds and clones.

Well, for now he would have a group of clones continue in the dungeon while having a couple work on different games. He had a huge backlog and halfway finished games. As for him, it was time to start stat building.

Micro reached into his inventory and pulled out a set of weights. He had convinced his friends to stop at a store that sold them on the way home after Sugar Cube Corner. Meanwhile, another clone was scrolling through his phone looking for different riddles. As he began lifting the one weight in his hand, he began flipping a coin in the other, calling out what he thought it would be.

"He who makes me, has no use for me," the clone on the phone began. "He who buys me doesn't want me. He who uses me neither sees nor feels me. What am I?"

"A...coffin…" Micro gritted out as he ended a set of reps. "Heads." He was right and smiled as he felt a few different notifications go off. Three at once. "Perfect."

"I think I found a good skill for us to get," another clone said as he was scrolling through the Chaos Auction. Micro motioned for the clone to bring it closer as he switched hands. He read the screen and grinned.

Skill Book

Modification

Price $3000

"Pricey," he said as he read the description. "But definitely seems to be worth it."

After telling the clone to order it he went back to his training. When the skill book appeared, he instantly absorbed it.

Skill Created!

Modification (Lv 1)

Active (MP Cost: Varies)

The ability to change all or part or yourself however you want.

-Current Changes Available: hair color and length, eye color

Walking over to a mirror, he focused on his eyes. In a second, he felt a small spark of magic and his eyes changed from blue to hot pink. Focusing again and they became green before returning to normal. Then he did the same to his hair. It changed from black with blue neon stripes to blue with black, then red with black, black with pink, and so on.

"Well," he said catching the coin and calling it right again. "Looks like I will be training four things up at once… and the answer is white. It's a polar bear."

The Next Day

Micro had his backpack sling over his shoulder and was grinning, still flipping his coin. While he did discover LUC and WIS were harder to raise than strength, he was still happy with the results. Especially since he forgot he got a level up from completing the Zecora quest.

Micro Chip

Lv 20

HP (850/850)

MP (700/700)

STR 35

VIT 21

DEX 25

INT 41

WIS 42

LUK 35

CHA 15

Bonus Stat Points: 48

Though he was going to have to get new weights since he was finding it easier and easier to lift the current ones. After getting Frida to agree to train him he decided to wait for her input on what to use bonus points on.

Modification was coming along nicely as well. He now had the ability up to level 7 and had the ability to change his body in most human ways (height, weight, hair, eyes, nails). The only thing he couldn't change yet was gender, something he was interested in after Discord had shown him the universe where he was a girl. While he was secure in his current gender, he wouldn't mind the switch every now and then. Could help with future missions if he needed to disguise himself, or just for a fun prank on his friends.

Next there were his funds. Even after spending a good amount on Modification, he was sitting pretty from the grinding his clones were doing

$5021

And last but certainly not least, one of his clones completed another game. This time it was on the Switch, and it was Octopath Traveler.

Micro had been stuck on the final boss for the better part of a month as he didn't have the patience to level grind everyone up to combat the final boss. With a clone, however, dedicating many hours to it, he managed to complete it. To his shock, a roulette appeared in front of him that had the eight major characters on it. He reached out to spin it and after a bit, it landed on Cyrus.

New Title Obtained!

Scholar

The mark of someone very learned in the magical arts.

-Doubles INT growth rate when equipped

-Halves the MP cost of skills when equipped.

While he had been tempted to just equip that right away, he decided that his clones probably want to keep the boost they got from his undead hunter title, which had also changed after all the hunting his clones did.

Master Undead Hunter

You have a talent in exterminating creatures of the undead!

-100% Increase Damage to Undead

-100% Increase Defense Against Undead

-Plus 15 to all Stats When Fighting Undead

Yeah, until he started using a different training dungeon, he was keeping that on.

"Micro!" Sugar said coming up behind him. "Mind explaining what happened last night. You were supposed to let me know!"

"Sorry man," Micro said sheepishly. "Spike and I got a bit distracted."

The young Gamer explained to his friend what happened, every word making the peppermint haired boy go more wide eyed.

"And you can't tell anyone about this," Micro emphasized. The only reason I'm telling you is because you knew about why we were there in the first place."

"So...you got to see our hot science teacher and her equally hot wife in nothing but their underwear!?"

Micro slammed a hand over Sugar's mouth before looking around and sighing in relief when no one was around.

"Keep that bit quiet. But yes, we did."

"Why do you get all the luck?" Sugar cried anime tears while Micro chuckled.

"All the luck with what?" A voice said popping up behind them.

"Aaaaaah!" They both screamed. Micro wheeled around and saw Frida standing there grinning at him.

"So who's your friend?" Frida asked. She was wearing a black t shirt that showed off a decent amount of cleavage and read right across the chest "If you can read this, you're a pervert. F*** Off." She had on black jeans that hugged her hips and rear.

"Don't do that!" Micro said, just getting over his shock. She just crossed her arms under her breasts and smirked.

"Consider this the start of my lessons. Always be prepared for a sneak attack. I will be doing this from here on out. Get used to it kid." She leans down and pats his head, giving him a look down her shirt while Sugar is still just staring blankly. "So who's your friend who apparently can't read."

Sugar gasps at being addressed and blushes, not catching the teasing note in her voice.

"I'm sorry!" He stammered out. "I...I just…" Thankfully for Sugar, his friend caught the teasing and was ready with a come back.

"Sorry for him. He just always is like that. You see my poor friend here is blind and can only read by touch."

Frida and Sugar turned to him, shocked at his comeback. Before Sugar could say anything though, Frida was laughing.

"Oh is that so? Well let me help." To the surprise of both boys, she took Sugar's hand and started guiding it across the writing. "Does this help?" Upon seeing their dumbstruck faces, she let his hand go and smirked. "Never try to banter me kid. I take it to the next level. Training tonight by the way."

And with that last statement being made, Frida walked towards some trees by the sidewalk and vanished into them. Sugar looked at Micro and then back down at his hand.

"Did...did that just happen?"

"I think it did Sugar…"

"Micro…"

"Yeah?"

"Please use me as the subject for banter with her again."

At School

"Pics or it didn't happen," Spike said.

"Spike," Micro stares at his friend. "You met Frida to. Your telling me you think she wouldn't."

Spike rolled his eyes as he opened his new locker. Micro was currently calculating the odds of them having all gotten lockers next to each other as he opened his.

He should've seen it coming. He really should've.

As soon as he opened the locker a freaky clown mask shot out on a spring right in his face.

"Gaaah!" He screamed as he stumbled and fell on his back. His friends couldn't help but laugh, same as most of the other people in the hall. They would've continued laughing if not for the door behind Micro opening.

"Oh do stop teasing me Rainbowdash. It's not funny that those accidents….wah!"

The door to the girls restroom had opened up and Fluttershy stepped out, immediately tripping on Micro and falling to her hands and knees. The young Gamer went wide eyed as her knees landed on either side of his head. For the second time in as many days, Micro found himself staring up at yellow fabric flossed between two thighs.

"What's wrong Flutters...oh for crying out loud."

Rainbow had stepped out right after Fluttershy and had thankfully not tripped over the two. Fluttershy looked down and saw her face was inches from Micro's zipper, the fabric around which was twitching slightly as if something were moving beneath it.

"Ah!" She moved back,pulling herself up straight on instinct, which only succeeded in causing her to move down the extra few inches to bury Micros face.

"Mmmph!" Micro gasped, trying to breath as his limbs flailed trying to pull himself out.

"Aaaahhhh!" The pinkette blushed. It is hard to say what would've happened had this continued, but thankfully Rainbow pulled Fluttershy off before that could happen. The shy girl looked down to see Micro was laying there, gasping for air with a dazed expression on his face. She turned an extra dark shade of crimson at seeing the entire hall full of students staring. "Ex...excuse me!" She turned and runs back into the restroom.

Micro just continued to lay there dumbfounded when Rainbow stands over him looking annoyed.

"You know...I'm wondering if you are actually lucky, or if you are trying to do these things!"

Skill Created!

Danger Sense (Lv1)

Passive

The ability to detect any threat nearby

-Current range (1 Yard)

"N...no!" Micro said, shooting up and blushing. "Someone put a prank in my locker and I fell back! I swear!"

Rainbow narrowed her eyes at him and then looked pst him at the locker where the clown mask was still wobbling on its spring. She had to stifle a laugh.

"You scared of clowns kid?" She said laughing. Micro blushed.

"No! I just was caught off guard!" He looked to the restroom and saw Fluttershy hadn't come out yet. "Rainbow, can you please tell Fluttershy I'm sorry? And that I want to try and make it up to her."

Rainbow leaned forward and ruffled Micro's hair.

"Sure kid." She turned and went back to the restroom but Micro remembered to cast Observe a split second before the door closed.

Rainbow Dash

(Track Super Star)

Lv18

Stats: (Not high enough level in Observe)

Rainbow is the captain of the track team and has set multiple school records. She has taken the role of adoptive sister to Scootaloo and takes that role very seriously. Her best friend out of her small group is Fluttershy. She currently holds a grudge against Twilight and Sunset for keeping secrets and acting like she and her other friends were evil.

Breast Size: B Cup

Relationship: She thinks your a good kid, but has her eye on you in case something happens.

Micro ignored most of the info. His eyes were immediately drawn to the bit about Twilight and Sunset.

'Acted like they were evil…' He thought. 'What does that mean?'

His thoughts were interrupted when he felt someone wrap their arms around his neck.

"Making moves on the older student again Chippie?" Scootaloo said chuckling. Her two friends joined the boys by the lockers.

"It was an accident!" Micro growled as he ripped the clown off the locker. 'Frida I swear. I don't know whether to curse you…' The thought of the feeling of her sitting on his face came back to him. 'Or thank you.'
