Chapter 7 - Orientation - Part 1 - Tour
Micro whistled as he made his way to school. After a bit of all night money grinding, he had enough for the Kage Bushin Skill Book. He may have been a bit short of a level up, but the fact that he received a quest for his first day at school, that would put him over the edge.

Now he could leave a clone at home to work on different things while he went about his day.
That's not to say the clone was game breaking or anything like he originally thought. For one, the skill made a few things clear.
Kage Bushin No Jutsu (Lv1)
Active (MP Cost: Varies. Min 50)
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: 1
For one, the clone couldn't grind out physical stats like STR and DEX. It also couldn't be used as a way to fight enemies and gather experience as any quest exp or enemy exp will only level up the skill. Might be helpful though. And he noticed his game allowed for a party chat feature that his clone was automatically added to.
The good news is, his MP could still regenerate up to his max. So he wouldn't be limited to however much he had after using the skill.
As to why it was at home playing games to unlock some abilities for Micro to absorb rather than Micro sending him to school, there were a few reasons. The main one was because of the fact that a single hit dispels it. If he was dispelled during the school day, that would be hard to explain. Second was the fact that it couldn't gain physical stats, so anything like gym class would be a waste. Finally, he wasn't lying when he said he was looking forward to school.
"What's up man?" Spike said as he and Sugar met their friend a few minutes from the school.
"Yeah," Sugar said. "You seem very happy for some reason. And don't say it's just because of our new school because there has to be another reason."
"Let's just say I got a very good ability last night that will make thing a good bit easier. So, you guys ready?" His two friends groaned.
"You are the only one of us who is insane enough to enjoy school," Sugar grumbled. Micro had to laugh a bit at that.
They finally arrived at school and the trio saw a sign that read 'New students this way' leading to what they guessed was the auditorium. They eventually found a set of seats and settled down to await the instructions for the day.
"Greetings to all our wonderful new students," a voice said. Up on stage was a tall woman in a yellow blouse and purple dress pants with hair that could only be described as the northern lights given form. "I am principal Celestia, and I am here to give you a brief overview of some of the main guidelines for the school."
The rest was just basic items that most schools had. The dress code, certain behavior was not acceptable, etc. The only rule that seemed out of ordinary was the rule of how, since this school was just recently made coed, certain facilities were a little thrown together. How the locker rooms were too small for everyone to have a locker (since they simply converted the one freshman/sophomore locker room into a boys one and the junior senior into an all girls one). Basically, the lockers were only for use during class, and students had to take their stuff home after classes.
All relatively basic stuff. Stuff Micro had to hear from his friends later as he saw something specific above her head.
Celestia
(Sun Princess)
Lv?
'What the heck? How is the principal that strong!? And sun princess?' He used Observe on her and all he got back was a series of question marks. 'Nothing whatsoever.'
"Now you shall all be given over to senior students to show you around before you get a brief overview of your classes," Celestia said. "You should all have been given a number when you entered."
Seven students came out on stage and many of the guys gasped. All seven of the girls were extremely attractive.
The first seemed to be the most tomboyish of the group wearing a denim jacket, white t shirt, and somewhat torn up jeans. She didn't have a big chest (probably just an A cup) but her body was still eye catching in a very athletic way. Her rainbow hair that reached past her shoulders matched the name Micro saw above her head.
Rainbow Dash
(Track Super Star)
Lv18
The next had on tight jeans and cowboy boots that went half way up her calves. She wore a red plaid shirt that was just slightly short to show off a peek of midriff and seemed to be straining to hold back her bountiful bust (double d if not more). On top of her head was a brown Stetson hat that sat on top of beautiful blonde hair that reached to the center of her back.
Applejack
(Honest Apple)
Lv18
The next was an elegant woman with curly purple hair. Her white blouse was tight across an ample chest (double d as well) and she wore a purple skirt the made Micro a bit jealous of the front row since it seemed insanely short.
Rarity
(Fashionista)
Lv15
After her came a girl with hair that looked like cotton candy. She wore a white t shirt with balloon patterns on it that hugged her "balloons" themselves. She wore tight black shorts that hugged her plump bubble of a butt.
Pinkie Pie
(Bouncy Baker)
Lv14
'Bouncy in terms of personality or…' the girl was dancing happily and her breasts jiggled like jello. 'D cup?'
He felt another notification pop up but ignored it for the moment..
The other three were the ones that caught his attention the most though. And it was all due to their levels and titles.
The first had long pink hair and wore a yellow sweater that did little to hide a massive chest (were those E cups?!). Her skirt was loose and flowy, a nice forest green.
Fluttershy
(Lady Of Forest And Night)
Lv64
Next was a girl with blue hair with a pink streak in it. She had a purple blouse over a modest chest and a dark blue skirt.
Twilight Sparkle
(Magical Master)
Lv59
And the last had fiery red and yellow hair. Her skin was slightly tanned and wore a black leather jacket over a purple shirt with a sun on it as well as a black skirt.
Sunset Shimmer
(Magic Student)
Lv48
"What the heck?" Micro muttered only loud enough for his friends to hear.
"What's up?" Spike said, coming out of his trance of staring at the bombshells on stage.
"The principal and three of those girls have weird titles and insanely high levels," he whispered. Spike looked contemplative as Sugar was still staring, namely at the cotton candy girl.
"Well, the three students I don't know much about, but the principal is one of the many higher ups among Ability Users."
"What do you mean?"
"Well…" Before he could finish, they saw that everyone was splitting into their groups and, looking down, they saw they had different numbers. "We'll talk later."
He went off with the one known as Rarity while Sugar went with Pinkie. Micro looked down at his and saw he was with the girl known as Twilight.
"Aw man!" A voice next to him said. He turned and saw a girl with short maroon hair and tanned skin standing there in an orange shirt, black leather jacket, and jeans.
Scootaloo
(Adrenaline Junkie)
Lv 10
'Level is a bit high for a typical person our age,' Micro thought. He quickly cast observe on her.
Scootaloo
(Adrenaline Junkie)
Lv 10
Stats: (not high enough level in Observe)
Scootaloo is a fun loving teen who always tries to have as much fun as possible. She is always looking for a new adventure. She looks up to track star Rainbow Dash who has acted like a older sister to her. Her two best friends are Sweetie Belle and Applebloom.
Breast Size: A Cup
'Must be from all the 'adventures' she goes on.' He smiles at her. 'But why the heck did I get the breast size!?'
"What's wrong?" Scootaloo turned toward him and just shrugged.
"Nothing big," she said. "I just wish I was with Rainbow Dash."
"Oh, you know her from somewhere else?" He asked as they were walking up to the stage.
"Yeah. Two of my friends have older sisters who are friends with her and so we've hung out a few times. My name's Scootaloo by the way." She holds out her hand and Micro shakes it.
"I'm Micro." They had arrived at the stage so Micro had turned away, so he didn't see Scootaloo's face when she thought back to hearing that name two nights ago.
'Is he…'
"Hello everyone," Twilight said. "My name is Twilight Sparkle and I will be showing you around the school today. Just follow me."
As she held the door open everyone flowed out. Micro was last and stopped short when a new pop up came up. He covered it by pretending to trip over the door frame.
"You ok Micro?" Scootaloo said, helping him steady himself.
"Yeah...I'm good," he said with a smile.
"Well that's good," Twilight said as if she was coming out of a shock. "Well, let's get going shall we." As the group left, Micro read the screen.
Gamer's Mind deflected mental probe!
The young Gamer frowned at that as he looked around him at his new fellow students. None had suspicious titles or unknown levels. Which means the only person who could do it in the group would be…
'Twilight…' he thought. Panic started forming before Gamer's Mind worked up again and shot that down. 'No...it might not have been anything bad. Wait and see. If something seems off, just escape into an ID and get out.'
With a buzz of notification he felt his WIS go up again. He also decided to check the last notification he felt go off.
New addition to Observe!
By paying close attention to a given object or attribute, it has been added to you Observe data list.
New Information: Breast Size (Female Only)
'....This game is ridiculous…' Micro thought. As they were given a basic run through of a good bit of the school, he went into options and found specifics to his Observe function. With a sigh he managed to adjust the new feature to only register for girls his age (give or take a few months) or above, and not those related to him (he did not need his mom's size thank you very much!).
As he was doing this, he didn't notice Twilight and Scootaloo looking at him.
'How did he deflect my spell?' Twilight wondered.
'Is he the one from the park?' Scoots thought.
With his settings finished he decided to Observe Twilight fully.
Twilight Sparkle
(Magical Master)
Lv59
Stats: (not high enough level in Observe)
Twilight Sparkle is a master in the magical arts.
Breast Size: B Cup
'...THAT'S IT!' Micro mentally shouted. He could've assumed as much from the title. His Observe must be too low or the level difference too great.
After a while, they arrived at the gym just as the group led by Rainbow Dash came up.
"Rainbow!" Scootaloo cheered as she ran up to her older sister figure.
"Hey there squirt," the track star said. "Are you enjoying…" That was when she saw who was leading the group. "Oh...it's you."
"Um...hi Rainbow. I was just bringing my group to the gym. If you were heading that way maybe you could…"
"We were just leaving," Rainbow said turning her back on the girl. "But you can tell them all they need to know. You seem to know everything." With that sarcastic, stinging remark, she left with the other perspective students following hesitantly behind her. Twilight looked like she was about to cry, but held it back as she lead the group on.
"What was that?" Micro asked Scootaloo. Since she knew Rainbow Dash, she might know what the attitude was about.
"Well, my friend's talked about how their sisters got into a fight with a couple of their friends. Rainbow never discussed it that much. I guess Twilight is one of them?"
Micro looked at the now depressed looking tour guide and felt a pang of sadness for her. At least this cleared one thing up for him. If Twilight is this upset about a lost friend, he doubted she was a bad person. He would give her the benefit of the doubt about the mental probe.
'If only I could help her…' That was when a screen popped up.

'Well I will definitely be accepting that quest,' Micro thought. He might not know them but he couldn't walk away when there was the possibility that he could help people out. What good was his power if he couldn't use it to help people.
As they walked he checked the recent notification he felt.
Ping!
Due to thinking about others your CHA went up by one!
'Not bad.' Right when he was about to close his notifications, another came up.
You have completed the game
Persona 5
Do you want to sacrifice your save file in order to gain a skill/weapon?
Yes/No
Micro grinned. It hadn't been clear if the clone completing the game would grant him the ability. He made multiple save files so that he would still be able to do new game plus even after sacrificing his save. With a wide smirk, he hit yes.

Micro went wide eyed at that screen. He was expecting a weapon or a boost to his sneaking. He wasn't expecting an actual Persona!
Too absorbed in the screen he didn't see someone round the corner in front of him and…
"Oh my!" A voice said as they crashed into Micro, knocking them both to the ground.
"Are you two al...right…" Twilight said running up. Though when she saw the predicament the two were in she blushed and stopped.
Micro could barely breathe as he felt something encompassing his face. He moved his hand, reaching to try and move what was on top of him. His hand brushed against something soft and he hear a small moan and what was on top of him moved.
Fluttershy propped herself up and was looking down at him. Hovering right above his face were her sweater covered breasts and currently under his hand was her rear only covered by the thin fabric of her skirt. Realizing this he instantly removed his hand.
"I'm sorry!" he said. Fluttershy was crimson and pulled herself off of him as the guys of the group cheered for Micro while the girls looked at the pinkette's chest with jealousy.
"It's fine! I should've paid more attention as well," she said hurriedly.
"I'm just glad you two are ok," Twilight said walking up. When Fluttershy saw her, she went quiet. "Fluttershy…"
"I'm sorry," she said, actually sounding like she had a bit of regret. "We have a lot more to get to."
"Fluttershy please I…"
"We have to go," Fluttershy said and lead her group away. Everyone in Twilight' group looked at her as she took a few deep breaths before facing them again.
"Well it is almost time for lunch so why don't we head by the cafeteria?" She turned and started walking. The group was slow to follow but eventually went after her. Micro decided to try and push forward with his quest. He walked a bit faster and was soon side by side with Twilight.
"Did something happen between you and the others?" Twilight stiffened for a moment but sighed.
"You don't need to worry about it. You should focus on starting school and making your own friends."
"Well what if I said I wanted to be your friend?" She looked at him shocked. "After all then I would have a reason to worry about you."
A small smile spread across Twilight's face as they made it to the cafeteria.
"Maybe sometime. For now though just focus on getting ready for school." After saying that she turned to the rest of them. "Now after lunch you will all be given a schedule of the classes you have signed up for so you can go and receive a brief introduction. I hope you all have a great rest of the day."
With that she left the group behind and met up with Sunset who seemed to be happy to speak with her. The other groups arrived shortly after with the other group leaders gathering at one table while Sunset and Twilight walked off after looking at them sadly. If Micro felt any hesitation about helping her, it vanished then.
"Hey Micro," Scootaloo said walking up to him. "My friends and I are planning to sit together. Wanna join us?"
Micro looked over and saw two other girls. The first had light purple and pink hair. She wore a yellow skirt, white shirt and red jacket.
Sweetie Belle
(Future Singing Star)
Lv8
The other had long red hair with a maroon bow on top. A pair of jeans and a green t shirt made up her outfit.
Applebloom
(Hard Working Apple)
Lv9
He looked at the rest of the table and smirked.
"Well my other friends have already joined them so I might as well," he chuckled seeing Spike and Sugar sitting with them.
"Well then I guess we might as well," Scootaloo grinned. The two went over to have lunch with their friends.
