Well, there's a map there now. Check it out.

Well, actually, you still can't add images. I'm working on getting a version that will be able to do that, without breaking anything else. We'd also have to have ImageMagic installed, a seperate issue.

I guess you are one of those guys when the path you are walking on is blocked by a wall, collides with it. After you've picked yourself up from the ground, you try again. And again. And again. Until you pass out.

Next time, try the door 3 meters to the left.


What the hell are you talking about? He's making perfect sense. If Meji doesn't get god-powers within the time limit of her senior project, she will get a failing grade for aforementioned project. Hence, if she does not gain the power in the time limit she has <b>failed</b> the project. What else are you looking for here?

If Sara hadn't warned him, I think Warrel would have been dead right here.

I believe it may be something like this... failing the project means she can't graduate. Her time limit, if it isn't up yet, will be pretty soon.

HOWEVER, defeating all the faculty in combat means an AUTOMATIC graduation. No time limit there, I imagine she wouldn't even have to attend the school to begin with to take advantage of that one. Thus, ultimate godlike abilities still save her inheritance, if she can only get them. She's 17, and a slowly developing 17 at that... I doubt she's considered the full consequences of obtaining godlike ability, she's just worried about staying an heiress.

I think Meji has failed or is about to fail her senior project...


She graduates automatically if she kicks the faculty's collective ass, right? Then it probably doesn't matter if she turns the asskicking in on time.

Edit: Aaand it looks like Impy beat me to it.

BUt I do like the idea of "turning the ass-kicking in on time".

And this is the wall i was talking about.

If she decides to write a report when she comes back to Tsuirakushiti, how would sometime as trifle as a deadline prevent her from getting an A? After whatever calamity has passed, leaving the world in smocking wreckage, the distinguished professors at the academy will be _begging_ her for a report.

The question is if she'll care anymore.

(A.S. She have 3 monthy since she left the school)

I agree

All those page have a similar central point : They all say that the only reason for Meji to do that is to get an "A" on her class exam.

EVEN if she fails the project, god powers still means she wins, regardless of whether she was originally planning to do it that way or not.

Her ultimate goal here, remember, is not to pass her exam, it's to graduate so she can keep her inheritance and happy heiress status. The loophole means she can graduate at any time, so long as she has those powers.

Of course, gaining god-like powers kind of makes the whole thing moot. You don't really need an inheritance either if you get them. It's kind of close-minded to worry about failing the dumb exam when the alternative is god-like power.

Is the inheritance even important? Maybe she just wants to prove herself to her grandfather...

Keep in mind we're talking about Meji here.

Some people (not you Kest) need to go back and read the comic from the begining. The whole opening act is all about Meji's prospects for failing her final project.

I join this opinion: with the power of god who needs pitiful money. Proving yourself to your gramps is another matter but with that kind of power he would be a jackass not to be proud of her.
