Albert was doing the paperwork he had to do as class president. He is going to practice mental magic with Alabaster after this. Most of them were just normal requests. Although there were some odd ones he couldn't accept.
"Make me the teacher instead of Mr. Harrison."
"Replace the seats with bacon"
And other wacky stuff like that. Albert sighed and just finished the paperwork, and when he did, he heard a knock on the classroom door.
"Come in, the door's unlocked." He said, and in came Molly. With her usual cute smile on her face
"Hey Albert, I'm hungry!!! I need sustenance." Molly said, her voice hoarse and serious.
"Ok, what do you need!? Oh yeah, blood." Albert said, Molly's face lit up when she heard blood. But Albert's face fell.
'Wait, I don't know where to find blood. But oh god, I need to keep her alive, because if I do, it is likely that I will get more info on the Empire's motives.' He thought to himself. But seeing Molly's wide eyes, he just sighed and held out his arm.
"Here you can duck my blood, ya fuckin wanker!" He sighed.
"Yay!" Molly eeped in joy as she bit down on his arm, the sensation was painful, she was clearly starving. Even though he fed her meals every day, it appears that those can't fill her up the way blood does. How entertaining.
After that incident Albert sent Molly back to his room and then immediately ran outside to see Alabaster.
"You're 2 minutes later than average." She said, smirking.
"Sorry, Molly just needed to suck blood." He said. Alabaster tilted her head, a slight cracking sound was heard.
"Who's Molly?" She asked.
"Molly is my new maid, she's a vampire, I had to feed her." He said. Alabaster just giggled.
"Ah OK, as long as she doesn't interfere with our lessons or your time with Lucine, she's ok!" She said. And they began the lesson for mental magic.
2 hours later
Albert finally learned 3 tier 1 mental spells.
Induce hesitation
Consensual Nap
Dumb down.
"Eh, you are a little better than the average guy trying to learn mental magic." Alabaster said, lying down on her back in the air, levitating. Albert figured these spells will be useful for about 1 or 2 weeks, he has big plans.
"Alabaster, I'm going to take a walk in the woods. Expect me to return in 5 minutes. And DONT FOLLOW ME." He said, slightly cold. Alabaster just yawned and chewed on a blade of grass.
"Whatevs"
Albert was in the forest, in the game, you can't access it, so if anything that would help him stay alive and further the game's plot and his plans is there, it would be in this forest.
Albert just whistled, carrying Nihil, there were some monsters, goblins, giant fireflies, centipedes made of rocks, the usual early game enemies you see in Silver Feathers. But Albert wanted to see something entertaining, something he didn't see in the game, to give him more... inspiration on what to do next.
"Oh?" He said, stumbling on something weird, something that wasn't in the game. He gave a smirk while looking down on it.
"Oh, I suppose I just found my star actor." He said, staring down at the creature. It was a blue, small, slime. He picked it up as it desperately tried to bounce away, it was heavy for such a little creature, weighed about 5 kilograms. He is just imaging what he is going to do, the possibilities are endless.

Lucine was having another meeting with her followers, they were drinking tea and Lucine slammed her teacup on the table, shattering it.
"Everyone, our latest concern is Ms. Sarabeth Rokton. She is very much in love with Albert. She even had the fucking gall to kiss him on the cheek. IN FRONT OF MY ASS!" She yelled, her voice lacking the usual manners and gentleness. The Green Curled lady just blinked twice and spoke up.
"Don't worry Lucine, I assure you, Albert will never fall in love with another girl. Not even if she is bolder than you. Besides, Sarabeth has a much flatter chest." Lucine grinned at Green pasta-hair's response, taking a bite out of her chocolate cake.
"Besides, she is a newcomer, she has too much time until she gets to your level. And don't you forget! You still have a chance to have sex with Albert." Said the horny Whitey Cyan girl. Lucine respected her, but there is no way she will have sex with Albert yet, she still needs to find an alibi.
"You are on the student council, right? You and Albert are even closer! In fact, better news, Klarice is currently in the infirmary, she is still injured from the Toxodile attscks.attacks." Said the Cecil-trus lemon. Lucine smiled calmly, with the support of her lackeys/followers, she can easily find ways to dispose of her rival's.

Albert thankfully has permission to be in the woodworking room of thr academy, thanks to being the class president, and for being associated with 3 of the 4 queens of the school. Albert basically realized, unless if he is in class, he basically has more effective authority than some of the teacher!
Albert grabbed some wood and spent the next 2 hours carving, eventually creating a smooth, featureless mannequin, although he can never get the hands right. Those hands are just jagged, splintered, claws.
"Now, it's time to see if you can be useful based on my past experiences with slimes in souls-like games." He giggled, glancing at thr slime, which he repeatedly cast dumb down and Induce hesitation on, until it essentially became a mindless zombie, slime. Thing.
Albert picked it up, and splattered it onto the mannequin, he heard the sounds of its wooden joints creak and shift as the slime's gooey mass entered through it's wooden pores.
Not soon after, the mannequin began to move. It was unnatural and stiff, but Albert could tell that the squishy, flexible slime is now inside the mannequin.
"I suppose I should give you a name. Well how about, Uno." Albert told Uno, which began to sweat gel, which soon formed into a second slime. So Albert made another Mannequin, which the Slime then entered. Making another living mannequin.
Albert has acquired the following 2 skills: Woodworking 3, and humanoid designer.
Woodworking 3: Allows the user to make things out of wood 60% faster, with 15% less wood than what is needed.
Humanoid designer: The user can create humanoid shapes around 30% faster.
"Ok, either you 2 should not clone yourselves, or just make more mannequins yourselves, I already spent 5 hours and I am going to have dinner with Lucine tonight." He said. UNO and Mannequinn 2 stopped moving.
"Ok, second mannequin, your name is UnTwo, since seeing you as a person is untrue. Anyways both of you, I need you to carry anything I want you to carry with your big jagged claws. Ok, first, I want you to carry my axe, Nihil. Ok?" He said, Dos stepped up and grabbed Nihil, it didn't run, or try anything.
"Give it back." He said, and Dos immediately done so. Albert smirked again.
"Ok then, good, I now have my 2 very own mindless servants, now I want you 2 to go to my room and wait there-" Before Albert could even tell them Erich number it is they walked out (and presumably went to his room.). Albert laughed to himself.
"Maybe my relationship with these 2 lobotomized slimes ispsychic? I did use mental magic a lot on the first slime, and the second one appears to be a copy of that.
Albert has gained the skill - Slime control (2 slimes currently under control.)
"Oh, a new skill for me? I'm sure this will be helpful when the first boss of the game shows up in a month. Besides, since the plot is now completely derailed, I need to be prepared to expect the unexpected."

Miriam was relaxing in her and Albert's room, Molly was preparing some delicious spinach, with a side of most delicious succulent, Meatballs.
"Dinners ready new big sis!" Molly said, giving her a hug. Miriam almost wept, she always wanted a sibling. But then she was caught off guard.
"Wait, I'm not your first sister?" Miriam asked. Molly just sat down, and wept.
"Big sis, mean to me, sent me to here to catch Lucine and if I don't, I die. But I live here now, right? Right?! You won't abandon me, better sis. And master big bro Albert will take care of me." She said, but they weren't interrupted as the bedroom door opened and 2 large Mannequins with jagged claws walked in.
"AAAAAAAAAAH!!!!" Miriam shrieked, her voice high pitched and so loud it reached the headmaster's office.
However, the mannequins, rather than reacting, just stood their by the wall, unmoving, occasionally "slurping" up some weird blue good that dripped down their neck.
"Oh, must be one of Albert's!" Molly said, before continuing to make dinner.
"Wait, how are you making dinner in a bedroom!?" Miriam asked. Heart still pounding.
"I'm using some beginner spells, that's I can use besides mental magic. I'm sorry I put Klarice in the infirmary." Molly said. Miriam almost walked up to her to comfort her, but she didn't want to get wrapped up in the situation, besides, Albert could just take care of it.
