Sure, but only if you care about numbers.
Sure. That actually works out for the moment. Okay then, I have this story that I have been planning. I don't have a first chapter, so I hope a summary of what I have planned will suffice.
The title of the story will be "Basic Sword Style". The premise is an alternative world where magic used to exists abundantly but now, in the modern world, it is regulated to only being used with something called "Sword Batons", sword shaped weapons that are blunt and rounded at the top. Only around half of the world's population can use magic and they can only used them with these "baton" items, and swords are the most popular choice. Schools teach students about handling magic with the batons so for students without magical powers, they get swords where you can untwist the handle and insert something called an Elemental Capsule to use artificial powers. Natural magic is more powerful but these artificial powers balance it out in that they can mix magic. With these powers, the discipline is decided based on the elemental power of the user. Fire Sword Style, Electric Sword Style, Psychokinetic Sword Style, Magnetic Sword Style, etc. However, there is one sword style that doesn't use any magic powers and it's more of a introduction to sword fighting, Basic Sword Style.
The story centers around a 16 year old boy named Leonidas and he uses Basic Sword Style predominantly. He is an expert on it, which gets him ridiculed by everyone else who sees it as just the starting point. The reason why Leonidas does not learn any magic, aside from not having any, is because of his teacher who taught him how to use Basic Sword Style. She was mainly a teacher who taught this exclusively but a few years ago, a committee decided that Basic Sword Style was not necessary to further develop other sword styles. Since she herself did not know any other discipline, she was left out of a job. She eventually found Leonidas living on the streets when he was around 10 and took him in as his student.
But his decision to only use Basic Sword Style is more than just respect for his teacher. He has a crush on her, but he truly believes he is in love with her. She wants nothing to do with it and continues to tell him to move on, which is one of his problems.
His teacher is still homeless and living in her car, he is not going to school, only has a low wage job, and only knows Basic Sword Style because he's too stubborn to move on to the next level. That's the thing about Leonidas, he's too stubborn for his own good.
The overall story will be about a sword fighting tournament with a giant cash prize. Leonidas goal is to enter the tournament, win the cash prize, and get his teacher out of her predicament in the hopes of maybe winning the tournament with only Basic Sword Style will redeem the discipline and get her original job as a teacher back.
Other things to include will be an experience system that is inspired by the RPG systems popular in other webnovels and a cast of unique opponents for Leonidas to fight in order to ascend the rankings, each with their own characteristics and sword style disciplines.
