Why Did Samurai Not Use Shields

What would happen if you put 150 students together in a school-like system and had them compete in various challenges to earn points to try and become number one? The outcome has been pretty bland for the past few years at Astral Academy, and the results are not what the higher-ups who run it want, until now. New students have enrolled and will change everything. New faces with clashing personalities will compete against each other to get the reward that first place offers. Five different classes with thirty different students in each class. Who will come out on top? Malakai, who came from London to compete in this academy? Maria, the daughter of a famous actress? Alexander, who has got everything he has ever wanted? Ryan, who can get anything he wants? Isabella, who has never had to try for anything she's done. Dillon, who wants everything everyone else has? Adam, who wants to prove a point? Too many names but only one top spot. Will they be entertaining? I post chapters every Wednesday and Saturday.

Apollo Musashi, the main character is a hard worker. Training each day to get stronger and stronger. He has aspirations of being above everything and has the will to make it happen. With this story I dream of bringing back old Shounen and characters that are mean in just the right way. I've seen many new shows try to make their characters as nice as possible, and although I'm making my character nice, he going to be a bit of a pain in the ass. I'm going to try to make the most realistic characters I can make within the confines of this verse. I watch most things nowadays realizing many of these character are just too unbelievably nice with no outbursts and I find that entirely unrealistic. No, I'm not going to have a harem for the main character, because that too I believe is entirely unrealistic from the real world. Without a further adue, I hope you like it.

Her life is a mess

Someone appears, silent as a shadow. They understand every thought, every wound, every quiet dream you’ve hidden away. Who are they? They look at you with your own memories in their eyes, wearing a life that feels like yours—and yet it’s not. They claim to be you. Would you trust them? Would you let them in, knowing they might reveal the parts of yourself you’ve buried the deepest? And if they are indeed a part of you… are you forced to accept them? Do you want to? Their presence stirs something you can’t define—a connection that feels fated, an understanding that runs deeper than you can explain. They slip through the fabric of your life, binding themselves into your existence, as if they’ve always been there, waiting to step forward. Yet behind that familiarity lies a tension, a question that lingers: What if they’re here to reflect not only the best parts of you but also everything you fear to see? Are they here to free you from your own shadows… or to pull you into theirs? Currently Improving Chapters, If some dont make sense, well it will soon. Quality over Quantity (finished polishing! I think, anyway 60 Chapters Woohoo!!!) (Currently busy due to school D; )
