Gluttony Chapter: 1

In the early hours of the morning at a house in the "smith-breaker" district, a young man no older than 19 was rushing trying to get dressed and get his things together, after a long morning workout, for his first day at a very prestigious school. Now I know that the thought of a teenager rushing the morning to get to school is nothing special but this young man is the new head of the department of forging and thaumatergy as he is a leading expert in forging and the worlds youngest forge-master ever but no matter how talented or smart he is he's still a 19-year-old.

Jay: Shitshitshitshitshit shiiiitt I'm so fucked if I get to school late. Hay "Oak" why didn't you tell me to hurry up my morning work put and how far is the school from home?

O.A.K. is the A.I. that Jay had created and fused its interface into his house as he heavily relies on it for keeping track of things he's bought, his experiments, his schedule, and overall life.

O.A.K: Sir you are currently 12 miles away from the "Imago Master Academy for Gifted and Extraordinary". You must please also stop working out for such a long time or better your schedule.

as Jay lets out a deep and heavy sigh of annoyance he starts talking to himself and says

Jay: Fuck me I'm gonna have run to the school aren't I? and O.A.K. we already talked about this, I made you so you can help me 

O.A.K.: It does appear to seem the way, sir, you could just drive your car or bike?

Jay: Absolutely not.

O.A.K.: Sir... Try to be reso-

Jay: (Starts screaming and yodeling to pretend like he never heard O.A.K.)

O.A.K.: ..... Sir-.... Will, you at least eat some food?

Jay's eyes lit up like an exploding star when O.A.K. mentioned food.

Jay: O.A.K I love you so much but we both know that I'm a mess and shit at "adulting" so what can I eat?

Whenever O.A.K. gets mad it stops calling him sir and just calls him "fat man".

O.A.K.: Fat man you still have some food leftover from what your brother made you last night.

Jay: OHMYGOD GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE, also don't call me fat man it's fatass. 

O.A.K.: Very well sir but you must leave now.

Jay: Ok, well bye Oak I need to leave I'll probably be back by 10 p.m. tonight so make sure to not open the door for anyone but Dickhead and Miki, also finish running the simulation and let me know if the package arrives-.

O.A.K.: Sir your first class starts at 7:30 and it is currently 6:52.

Jay: Shit. Uhh, lock the door for me oak, and also make sure Kaitie comes to pick the rest of her things and that Miki's ok when she wakes up, please?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Jay ran he started to focus his mind on every muscle he was using and on how he used them as every muscle extended along with his tendons and joints. he focused on the muscles and how he squeezed them and let them relax starting with the ones in his toes running to his foot then his ankle and he went all the way to all the way up the even the muscles in his face and back down. He arrived at the school at 6:57.

Jay: OH MY GOD.... that was a really nice run, too bad it was just a short jog.

As jay was talking to himself with a big smile on his face and stretching, one of the teachers saw him and instantly thought he was a student due to how young he looked, so they went up to go talk to him

Mrs. Morrowind: Excuse me young man, but the school doesn't open until 7:15, and I believe you might have either not received the uniform or you're at the wrong place.

Jay: I was told to be here at 7:00 by Richy and I thought that this was...-?

Mrs. Morrowind: Well yes these are the uniforms of the teachers and If you mean Headmaster Narvias then I'll have to ask h-

Headmaster Narviaz: Thank you but that won't be necessary Synthia. That young man that you're talking to is actually our newest teacher and He's going to be taking over the previous position that Mr. Al'Duin held before he retired.

Mrs. Morrowind was in disbelief as this... this child who looked like he would still be in school like he has never had any experience in life whatsoever.

Mrs. Morrowind: But sir he's just a child!

Headmaster Narviaz: Yes. That he is Mrs. Morrowind but he's also a very accomplished doctor and engineer along-side being the youngest forge master in the world and is the second-best enchanter in the world right now so I believe he's earned to be known a bit more than just a mere child.

While this whole conversation was going on Jay was still trying to catch his breath so when he looked up and saw the Headmaster it came as a surprise to the oblivious Young "man" and he shouted at the Headmaster.

Jay: AY!!!! PINCHE PENDEJO NO ME FUIESTE A RECOJER COMO ME DIJISTE EH?!?!?!?!?! Cabron y sabes que hoy tu me vas a comprar me comida. Ahor tambien dime porque "esta dama" me esta tratando como uno de tus estudiantes?

Headmaster Narviaz: Pues tu tampoco seas mamon, nunca me dijiste aquehoras querias queue te recojiera pinche gordo. Y ella es una de las mejores maestras queue trabajan aqui.

Jay: Oh, well ok. Hi, I'm the new teacher of Forging 3 and 4, you can call me "Jay" what's your name?

Mrs. Morrowind was still mad at this child but also because they completely forgot about the conversation that they were having and had their own side conversation but still, she kindly responded to him

Mrs. Morrowind: My name Is Synthia Morrowind and I'm the teacher for "heirs" and "heiresses".

Jay: Oh that's really cool!!!! So you work with "Specs" who want to grow up to be "Guild Leader" right?

Mrs. Morrowind was delightfully surprised at how kind jay spoke to her with his naturally soothing and deep baritone voice and the fact that he showed noticeable excitement about what she teaches. She was very inclined to ask him what his level was and what was his B.P., but she held her urges to herself as it is very rude to ask that of someone you had barely met

Mrs. Morrowind: Yes that's right I do work with those specific children who are more inclined with hunting, exploring, and making full use of their abilities.

Headmaster Narviaz: Well as lovely as this conversation is we really need to show him where he will be teaching and where the "Dawnforge" is so he can start heating it.

Jay: Ohhh careful now don't make me feel too special. If I could I would also like to ask for a physical copy of all the names of each of the students I'll be working with and those who signed up for the after-school club "WeakForge" please.

Headmaster Narviaz: Absolutely Jay and you have a total of 100 students overall this year give or take and an estimate of about 25 students in each class and 4 classes per week.

Jay: Well how many are in one of the special programs to know which ones I can be lenient with and how many are going to be missing class on certain days that they have school sports. train, or go to "IMAGE" dungeons.

Headmaster Narvaiz: Well you should ask your students who their "Gatekeeper" is so you can get the proper information from the source itself.

Mrs. Morrowind: Or you can just ask your students to fill out a paper and by the end of the week turn it in you either before, during, or at the end of class or when they have time but you have to emphasize that the end of the week is the deadline and make it a grade too, it always helps to "motivate" them to do it.

Jay: Ooooh that's a really good idea, thanks "Mrs. Morrowind" I'll be sure to do that, and also uhh Richy are you sure that the forge is connected to the classroom as I asked?

Headmaster Narvaiz: Yes and we took the liberty of adding an "era board" and a lounge area for your students while they're waiting for either the metal to get to a certain temperature, for their Items to finish being quenched, or if they're just tired and the list of your students' names, abilities, and their levels.

Jay: That sounds so awesome! Thank you so much! It looks like we've arrived, is it ok if I go inside and start setting my things up?

Headmaster Narvaiz: By all means, please. Go right ahead. You only have 30 minutes until your first period starts and we still have to give the orientation ceremony.

Jay: Oh well that perfect that gives me plenty of time to get set up, but do I have to be at the ceremony?

Headmaster Narviaz: No "Gordo", you don't have to but you should come if you finish up before the end of the ceremony just to see all the students.

Mrs.Morrowind: It's also a very lovely ceremony as we also introduce all of the teachers that the students will be working with,

Jay: Oh well... ok. I'll try to make it if I can.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 After 40 minutes Jay had finished heating the forge and making a simple lesson plan for the students to learn today he felt happy but also nervous as he didn't know how a bunch of teenagers is going to react to someone who's just nearly older or the same age as them being their teacher.

Jay: Well in case they don't like me I brought snacks and drinks. Oh, I still have time to see the ceremony I better get going if I still wanna make it.

As Jay was running to the ceremony he was stopped by the school's head security officer who wanted to know why he was running across campus and why he was wearing a teacher's uniform.

Officer Duke: Excuses me young man are you by any chance the new teacher here?

Jay: Yeah, I'm Jay and you are?

Officer Duke: You don't look anything like what I thought you would. My name Is Officer Duke, and I'm the head of security at the academy, I know that Headmaster Narviaz said that you were going to be young but I didn't expect a kid.

Jay: Hahaha yeah, I understand that I'm not exactly what you think of when you hear the new head of the department of thaumaturgy and forging. By any chance do you know where the orientation is taking place and how I can get there? I kinda got lost and now I don't recall where I was supposed to go.

Officer Duke: Yeah no problem just follow me were not too far, but how come the headmaster didn't take you there?

Jay: I wanted to get set up and make sure I was ready for my first day so I don't get nervous.

Officer Duke: That makes sense I guess but why would you want to go to the orientation?

Jay: I was encouraged by the Headmaster and another teacher to come to see it and I was also just a bit curious I guess.

Officer Duke: very well then but we're here, please don't make too much noise when you walk in there

Jay: Yes sir.

As Jay walked into the building he was stated at with strange looks by many of the students and faculty, but Jay didn't mind much as he was just happy he was able to make it to the orientation even if it was more than halfway through, well at least that's how he felt while looking for a seat until the Headmaster called him out.

Headmaster Narviaz: Everyone I would like to introduce to you our new head of the department of thaumaturgy and forging and the youngest smith breaker in their world "Jay Theador De Las Rosas". Please come up here and take a seat with the other heads of departments.

Jay stood there looking at the headmaster with a look that you could tell said "You goddamn piece of shit I'm going to kick your ass. You betrayed me and I'll remember this". he was not expecting to be called out but he could do nothing now as everyone in the orientation was staying at him so he just walked up on stage and sat with the other heads of the department. after after 15 minutes, the headmaster called on Jay to introduce himself properly.

Jay: Hello there I am the teacher for forging 4 and I hope to work with you all and help any way I can. Please come to my classroom if you would like help in thaumaturgy, forging, or if you want to join the after-school club "WeakForge" and please have a wonderful day.

Many of the students and teachers were in utter shock as he was for all intents and purposes a teenager but then they heard the Headmaster spoke.

Headmaster Narviaz: Thank you Sñr. De Las Rosas now everyone please have a wonderful day and year please everyone go to class as you will likely have a lot of work ahead of you this year.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As he entered his classroom, jay saw a thick packet with a note on his desk but after only 2 minutes the students started walking in.

Jay: Hello there please have a seat anywhere but the forging area. I will begin the class when at least 19 of you arrive but I would like you to start working on the paper in front of you please.

A girl no older than 16 spoke with an obvious attitude that could only be attained by having talent, privilege, and responsibility.

Student: Excuses me. Can I ask what makes you qualified as a teacher for this academy and why you're making us fill out a sheet of paper if this is forging 3&4?

Jay: umm... Well, I want to lie to you and say something stupid, but it's really just your first grade, and also so that I know who'll
l be missing my class because either they're heirs/ heiresses, in school sports, or people in other afterschool activities and maybe if anyone is interested they can sign up to my club.

Student: No. I mean what qualifies you to be a teacher here at this academy and for me to respect you?

Jay: Wow. that's.... that's just mean. before I answer you can I ask what your name is? 

Students: My name is "Matilda Von Skyfall" I'm a level 20 Heiress of Hercules. I am also here because I have an incredible talent and I've been offered multiple contracts from high-tier Guilds.

Jay looked at her through his mask and let out a disappointed sigh. He knew that he wouldn't receive the same respect or anything close to it but he was just sad to see that as she was flaunting her titles and achievements the other students were whispering and laughing at him.

Jay: Well by all means your highness, guess I should indulge you as you kindly did for me. I'm not. I'm not qualified to be a teacher, other than the fact that I like helping people and what your headmaster called my endless patience, or-or maybe the fact that for the past 2 years I've been teaching people across the continent  

Matilda: Then why are you here?  What right do you have to be here?!

Jay: Dumbass.

Matilda: Excuse me?

Jay: I said Dumbass. You obviously don't know who I am and that perfectly fine. Now, how about you pop a squat upfront and stop making a scene? I'll let you judge me and call me useless after class but for now, try to pretend that you want to learn.

During the entire conversation, Matilda hadn't noticed that the class had filled up and everyone was watching her. She proceeded to sit down out of embracement.

Jay: Ok class it looks like everyone's here now, so let's start by getting a few things out of the way Welcome to Forging 4. Yes, I am only 19, Yes this is going to be one of if not the hardest class you'll ever take at this school I'm not saying this to scare you or anything it's just that it requires a lot of patience, hard-core focus and extreme attention to detail. As you can all see there is a packet in front of you please fill this out and turn it in when you have time for your first grade and an easy A. NOw are there any questions?

A student in the middle of the classroom was the only one to raise his but by the way, he raised it was obvious he had anxiety.

Jay: Ah. Yes, misterrrrrrrrrr....? Goddamnit, I should've asked for all of your names first. Well, whatever what's your name buckaroo?

The young man shyly responded to Jay.

Spencer my name's Spencer Kim

Jay: Alright Spenc what'd you wanna ask?

Spencer: I was wondering 2 things actually. What do we call you and Why are you wearing a mask?

Jay: Oh those are some good questions and here's your answer umm shut the fuck up and bwahahaha I'm that was a joke no the um I'll answer you now Please call me Jay of Professor Fatman and for the second question I'll tell the class shortly. Now, are there any other questions?

A girl raised her hand this time.

Jay: And who might you be?

The student: Giana Lila Von Wolf, Princese of Imago and ne-

Jay: That's enough I just needed your name. Please ask your question.

Giana: Very well then why do you have a lounging area?

Jay: Oh that's simple It's for when you're waiting on either the forge to heat up or for the quenching process to finish. And I now no more questions lets start by making something simple like a dagger. You guys can make it however you want as long as it cuts stabs and doesn't hurt/ hinder the wielder but first, how many of you have made weapons?

Everyone in the classroom raised their hands.

Jay: Awesome! now if you look to the forging area you will see that there are many and I mean so fucking many materials for you to use to make the dagger now this is an assignment and ill give you 4 days to complete it, you also either partner up with someone or do it alone, yes you can use your own smithing hammer and anvil if you have it, and finally, don't be afraid to ask for help from me. We've used up about 10 min. which should give us around 5 hours to work with which is enough time to come up with a design find the material you want to use and maybe even start. OK NOW GO CRAZY AND HAVE SOME FUN!!!

The entire class was in shock by the fact that he just let them off the hook to work however they wanted with whoever they wanted. They sat there just starring at him.

Jay: Hay! What are you guys doing? The clock's ticking!!! If you guys need incentive then whoever makes the best dagger gets to take my mask off and keep it how does that sound?

After Jay finished the class got up and just darted as fast as they could either get a partner or to figure out the design they wanted to do. This was what the rest of the class was like until the end.

Jay: OK guys we have around 15 min. so you should start cleaning up now and getting ready to leave. If you guys want to continue working then you'll have to either wait until next week or you can join the after-school club I have called "Weakforge" but you guys can't keep working right now.

Nobody heard jay as they were all too focused on making their daggers. So Jay shouted so loud that even across the campus the Headmaster heard it.

Jay: Hehehe. HAY WHEN I SAY CLEAN UP AND PUT YOUR SHIT AWAY YOU DO IT!!!!!! NOW IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ON WORKING THEN EITHER JOIN MY AFTERSCHOOL CLUB OR WAIT 'TILL NEXT WEEK!!! Kay then. Let's clean up and get ready to go. How many of you able to get your metal into the furnace?

24 of the kids ended raising their hands

Jay: Shit, ok then how many of you're almost done using the Furnace and hammering it out?

Half of the 24 raised their hands.

Jay: Nice, ok then how many of you want to join my after school club and try to at least try to get to a point where you can stop and wait until next week?
