Chapter 1212 - Mental Fortitude Training
🕑 Added 2025-09-19 11:14:26 +0000 UTCMental fortitude wasn’t a stat in the system, even if it was most certainly empowered by Willpower. Yet it remained extremely important and was a trait many factions sought to train their young talents in, as it was so important for reaching the peak.
The way one usually trained mental fortitude was to experience highly distressing situations and gradually becoming more accustomed to them. Other times, it was merely to continue doing the same task over and over again, soldiering through the boredom while ignoring all distractions to keep going as long as one possibly could.
However, the best way by far to have high mental fortitude was simply to be born like that or to have cultivated a mindset capable of handling distress and uncomfortable situations to an extreme level.
Jake had never had to actively train mental fortitude and was a brilliant example of someone with high inborn mental fortitude, in part due to his Bloodline. All the way in the other camp was the Sword Saint, who had slowly become the person he now was and had a level of mental fortitude Jake wouldn’t want to challenge.
But, having high mental fortitude didn’t mean one couldn’t still train it… and oh boy did Jake get in some mental training that day. He had been incredibly nervous before even stepping onto the teleportation circle and appearing in the auditorium, and after he’d gotten there, things had only gotten worse.
Having a thousand people stare at him was already stressful, and unlike all other times where Jake was the center of attention, he actually had to do something. Moreover, what he had to do wasn’t just some brief speech or whatnot where ultimately what he said or did wouldn’t matter in the grand scheme of things.
Jake’s only choice was to stabilize his mind and simply start teaching, believing in the plan he’d made. He had chosen the topic in question after very careful consideration, and he genuinely believed he had some valuable insight on the topic, courtesy of his rather unique Path as an alchemist and caster.
The alchemy profession didn’t usually give much, if any, Perception. Shit, Jake’s own profession didn’t provide a single point in Perception unless he invested the Free Points it gave.
This often resulted in alchemists and even mages having relatively low Perception as they needed many other stats instead. But that didn’t mean there weren’t those out there with high Perception while also doing alchemy. Many of the beastkin races gained a lot of Perception, and Jake found it a shame if they didn’t even know how to make proper use of it.
Not to say that what Jake talked about required that much Perception in the first place. Even with low Perception, one could infuse a magic circle using one’s presence if it was small enough.
Ultimately, Jake did realize that this lesson likely wouldn’t be for everyone. In fact, it would likely only prove useful for the minority, with the rest just considering it an interesting method at most.
A small part of him did fear that he could lead some of the students in the wrong direction and make them mess up their Paths to try to mimic Jake, but all he could really do about that was trust these D-grades and their judgment.
This was just one lesson among many they would experience during their lives, and many of them also had dedicated mentors or masters who taught them, which would surely help them adjust if Jake had somehow led them astray.
These members of the Academy were not like Temlat. Jake was not their only lifeline and source of guidance. He was just another opportunity on their long Paths, and if they were so affected by Jake’s singular lesson… well, maybe they were the ones who needed to train their mental fortitude.
The lesson continued more or less as Jake had planned, even if the experience turned out to be even more harrowing than he had feared. Jake was hyperaware of every single person looking at him, and he couldn’t help but make minor adaptations whenever he saw too many people frown or continue with an example just a little longer if too many had eyes full of interest.
Jake had purposefully structured his lesson to have a lot of practical demonstrations where he would also unleash his aura upon the room. He’d done this as he wanted everyone present to at least benefit somehow, even if the topic in question proved useless to them.
He was fully aware of the benefits associated with experiencing his presence, and while the effects wouldn’t be that profound for the students who only had a few hours with Jake, it was still something, especially when coupled with the plethora of Records they would gain from merely being in attendance.
About two hours into the lesson, Jake suddenly spotted something. During all of his examples and demonstrations, quite a lot of the people present had tried to follow along and do it themselves, but none had fully succeeded… until now, that is.
A beastkin woman in the crowd had followed along as Jake had summoned a smaller magic circle meant to summon a barrier for instant defense. She was just one of hundreds, but compared to all the others, her presence managed to fully envelop the entire magic circle as she successfully perceived the entire circle before infusing her mana.
Instantly, it activated, summoning a simplistic barrier of pure mana. She seemed surprised for a moment, and Jake genuinely sympathized with her as her feat hadn’t gone unnoticed. Jake didn’t make matters better with what he did next either.
“Congratulations, you seem to have a knack for this,” he said in a casual tone to try not to be too intimidating. “May I know your name?”
The poor beastkin woman looked incredibly nervous as she didn’t even dare to fully look up as she answered in a small voice. “Chalette, Lord Chosen.”
“Good job, Chalette, and once more I congratulate you,” Jake said with a smile as he waved his hand and shot up a token toward her. “A small gift for your achievement. Keep it up.”
She slowly took the token that stopped right in front of her, the beastkin’s hands shaking as she did so. Jake showed some mercy as he redirected attention from her again with what he said next.
“It’s just some points, and should others also prove themselves, there’s more where they came from. Now let us continue…” Jake moved on as the envious gazes soon left Chalette and returned to focus on Jake.
The token he’d given was just a minor one that he had over a thousand of stored away in his inventory in preparation for this lesson. All of them had points that could be absorbed by the Academy Tokens of all the students present, and he’d decided to get them to have some kind of incentive for those who did well.
This was naturally something he’d learned from observing other talented teachers within the Academy. These points were one of the things that Jake had nearly forgotten even existed, but to other students, they were absolutely vital. Attending lessons or buying alchemical ingredients had a point cost; it was just Jake who had a special token he’d been given from Villy with infinite points.
Jake’s reward clearly had an effect as more and more students tried to follow along whenever Jake made any examples. A few of the students present also found success, and Jake even purposefully dragged on some of the easier examples to give more students a chance to succeed, after which he would give them rewards.
After this first success, which also marked the first time Jake had directed and interacted with one of the students present, he felt that things had gotten… easier. He felt less nervous and was more willing to adapt his lesson plan to try to make it more beneficial to all those present.
An unintended consequence of this was that by the time they reached the three-hour mark, which was meant to be the end of Jake’s lesson, he wasn’t done. Usually, what teachers would do in these instances was to just cover what they didn’t have time for in the next lesson, but there wasn’t a next lesson.
In instances like these, where it was one-off lessons taught by experts or guest lecturers, what they usually did was just to continue. If this were Jake’s university days, he would have expected half of the students present to be looking at the clock while already halfway out the door upon reaching the scheduled end of the meeting, but not a single student present looked like they had even noticed how long it had been.
Seeing this, Jake ended up doing something he’d never expected to see himself doing… he purposefully chose to stay in a social situation he found uncomfortable. He could have tried to wrap things up quickly, but instead, he merely continued with his plan to cover the rest of the lesson he’d planned.
In retrospect, Jake had definitely over-prepared. He’d planned the lesson to be more or less exactly three hours, but that was under the assumption that Jake spoke pretty quickly, and it didn’t leave much room for all the practical demonstrations, nor any kind of interacting with the attendees. He’d desperately wanted to avoid making the lesson too short as he didn’t want to disappoint the hopeful students, but he’d overshot it by a lot.
Luckily, no one seemed to complain, and Jake had also gotten into a pretty good tempo, so he just kept going. Soon, he’d reached the four-hour mark, but he still had a little left to cover.
The three-hour lesson ended up taking just shy of five in the end, with Jake having finally covered everything he wanted. Despite going so much overtime, not a single person had left, and nobody had dared disturb them either, until finally, the lesson reached its end.
“I want to reiterate once more that this isn’t something I expect all of you to suddenly integrate into your Paths. In fact, I reckon the vast majority of you will not find many practical applications for what you’ve learned today, but I still hope you can at least take some form of inspiration,” Jake said, genuinely wishing that all the attendees had a good time.
“As a final thing, let me provide some personal words of advice, even though you consider me woefully unqualified to offer them in the first place, seeing as I guess most of you have lived with the system longer than I have,” Jake began. This last part he wanted to say was what he’d debated including for the longest time, as he feared it could go into the territory of overreaching, but he decided to do it in the end.
“Me, you, and all of us walk our own unique Paths, and while learning from others and trying to directly replicate their feats can be all well and good in some instances, never fully model your Path after that of another. Forge your own destiny, your own Path, and never find yourself satisfied or content with what you’ve accomplished. All of us in this room, myself included, are pathetically weak right now, but we have the capability to change that and one day stand side-by-side with those we once viewed as impossibly ahead of us.”
His words echoed throughout the hall as everyone was quiet, nobody protesting what he said, but he did see a few people look skeptical. Jake understood why. To them, this likely sounded like an incredibly gifted rich-kid telling them all that anything was possible, but Jake really couldn’t make that his problem.
He believed that everyone indeed had the ability to reach the pinnacle as long as they had the will and the dedication to do so. Perhaps they would be far slower than average, but if they kept working hard and kept taking risks and jumped at any and all opportunities presented to them, even the most untalented could surpass expectations.
And it wasn’t as if these people weren’t all considered talented in the first place.
“So continue to work hard. Continue to improve. Continue to prove your Path and seek greater power, and prove that this era will truly be the rise of the Order of the Malefic Viper. Show that not only have the powers of old returned, but that the new generation is not to be underestimated either, but are up to the challenge to one day stand side-by-side with those who today claim the apex.”
These were unbelievably arrogant words, but no one dared scoff as Jake was most certainly one of the few C-grades in the multiverse who had the right to utter these words. He had already proven himself to stand at the apex of this generation, and if he continued his Path as he was now, the claim of one day standing beside even the most powerful gods wasn’t that far-fetched.
“And with that, I’ll wrap things up. Keep it up, everyone. Who knows, perhaps our Paths will one day cross again, and if they do, be living proof that you were worthy of being here today.”
Jake wanted one last motivating sentence, and going by the vibe of the auditorium, he felt that what he’d landed on worked well. He appealed to the arrogance and confidence of all those present while making it clear he had expectations and a belief that they could indeed prove themselves.
Mere seconds after Jake had spoken his words, he activated the teleportation circle – funnily enough, using the method the lesson had revolved around – and teleported out of the auditorium, leaving all the students behind to talk amongst themselves or leave to do their own thing.
Upon appearing on the other side of the teleporter, Jake didn’t hesitate to find the nearest gateway to quickly return to his residence. After leaving, Jake had felt the exhaustion slowly begin to creep up on him, and by the time he was home, he was mentally drained and simply collapsed on the couch.
He had a recording of the student’s reaction that he seriously didn’t have the faculties to watch right away, but would go over once he felt better. For now, he had something else to go over, as right when he’d left the auditorium, Jake had received a few system messages, which he now checked out.
You have successfully taught your first lesson as the Chosen of the Malefic Viper, inspiring and guiding the next generation of your Patron’s Order while helping to spread your own fame as a teacher - A new feat has been accomplished. Bonus experience earned
’DING!’ Profession: [Heretic-Chosen Alchemist of the Malefic Viper] has reached level 340 - Stat points allocated, +35 Free Points
’DING!’ Race: [Human (C)] has reached level 336 - Stat points allocated, +45 Free Points
He probably shouldn’t, but Jake was still surprised to see that he’d gained a level from the lesson he’d conducted. Perhaps because a part of him hated to admit that Villy had indeed been entirely correct that he had a lot of Records and experience to reap from having done so.
It was something entirely different from what Jake usually did and leaned into both his Path as an alchemist and a Heretic-Chosen. This definitely had been healthy for Jake from a progress standpoint, but he still felt some uncertainty about just how healthy it had been for the students in attendance.
Jake walked a unique and weird Path that wasn’t suitable for… well, he wasn’t sure who, besides himself, it was even suitable for. He would definitely watch the recordings of the student’s reaction later, but for now, Jake seriously felt like he needed a nap as teaching had fully drained his social battery for the day…
But hey, if nothing else, today had definitely been a solid one for mental fortitude training.

The worst part of all this is if something like a financial problem ever occurred, I know I can't rely on my father by moving back into such an environment, I just wouldn't be able to survive it, it be too much for me now. So, I always feel the need to be on top of everything so I would never be put in the position to rely on that chaos for support, cuz that be a nightmare. I love my family but they are a sensory overload to me. I can already imagine the headaches and fatigue i would feel.
Kourtney Viles
I totally understand this feeling, the worst part is a part of me wants to occasionally socialize...but if I go out in public and socialize I reach my limit at 3 hours. Then im looking for a excuse to go home. I don't even know how I survived my childhood. Growing up I grew up in a house with 4 dogs, 3 cats, 3 younger siblings (I have 7 siblings totally, but was only raised around 3) we had 2 basements, a main floor, and the upper floor. And no matter where you were in the house their was chaos every where. In the 2nd bottom bottom basement was a game room/laundry room/ storage room their was always someone doing laundry or playing video games, in the 1st basement is my brother's room where he got up to whatever, the 1st basement was also my dad's office and a construction zone so theirs that. The main floor had people talking in the kitchen, people yelling, cussing, and talking loudly about something in the dinning room. The livingroom either had the TV on or was blasting music, dad was annoying with that he had concert speakers so when he blast music you felt the house shake from the vibrations, sometimes the garage door be open and dad be tinkering in the garage with the sound of a small radio out their and power tools. Then you got the dogs at the livingroom window, they often used the speakers as a dog window seat and they bark up a storm at any one walking up and down the street. Upstairs my sister's would be running around, barging in my bedroom or bathroom. I had no privacy, they even broke the lock on the bathroom door... it was chaos everywhere and that was my childhood...unless I went and spent the weekends at my grandparents house. Their house was always quiet and clean and felt like a luxury hotel, with baked goods, a 9 foot ungrounded pool with a diving board, a hot tub, a pool table in the basement with a old record player, and a billiards game. At grandma's is where the whole family gathered for reunions. But it was always so peaceful. Now im 30yo and I can barely stand being around people for 3 hours without being drained, how the he'll did i ever survive my father's nut house for 18 years of my life...I wonder if that's why I was such a angry kid back then

After waking up refreshed Jake realized he missed a few notifications. He nonchalantly skips through them and sees he gained a new title. Apex teacher of the new generation: wherever The Apex teacher goes and whoever hears his guidance the chances of upgrading to God's multiply by a factor of 100x
brjenness
bad idea of the morning some of us would hate it, but some would love it because we would have to be kept in the dark and Jake probably too... very public dispute between artemis and villy over jake's future. artemis approached by the mystery group offering to help remove Jake from villy's influence. in the end it's all a villy plot to expose the mystery faction

I enjoyed those new chapters. Pretty sure Jake planted the seed for a bunch of junior heretics with his final speech, so that is nice. I would really like seeing Jake getting one over Villy soon. Since the Pic bet Villy has played Jake without any Fallout. He is so due for some revenge!

"haha. very funny. u can release me now " "are you sure that's what u want?" artemis asks with a raised eyebrow. villy in jake's head "oh no. I must rescue my precious chosen from this vixen and her dastardly deeds. JAKE! I'M COMING TO RESCUE YOU. HOLD ON" "uh...that's okay villy."
Jack
Really want a chapter of gods reacting to the advice he gave, considering that while it wasn't mentioned, I have no doubt some gods were watching, but even if not, the number of people in the hall with high-level blessings won't be small. I also want to see a reaction from Chalette and the benefits she no doubt will gain.

That was pretty heretical towards the end Jake ;) Also suggested edit: “student’s” should be “students’” unless he is looking at one individual’s reaction
Sean McClain
I suspect the students will have their choices in future skill and class suggestions be forever linked to this lecture. This will be a fundamental shift for all of them. They wider universes may even group them as the Chosen's Students or something as they all share unique records now. It will seem innocuous at first, but based on how jakes presence works with his words and demonstrations, I think these kids are forever changed and while Jake may not notice, the wider universes and pantheons sure will.
brjenness
fisher, this is your professor. I knew you weren't taking notes. get up earlier from now on so you can read before class.
Ty Cooper
What a great chapter. Ha I didnt realize that the class wasn't over till I reread the chapter before bed. I like how the class went and it was great that he did a fantastic job. I was happy for the rest of the class today. I could have just PoV chapters next week and still be happy. In fact I am looking forward to them so much. Only Zog can make me sad it is Friday and I have two empty mornings till I get the response of Jake's first class. I figured he would get a feat for his first class. I did think he would get more levels but glad he can still jump to the end with his dragonbane poison. I am so looking forward to the PoVs. So so much. Tftc
Steven Myer
I love a slice of Life chapter every now and then! Like when Jake wants to plant Musa trees in front of his cabin or start troll cave gardening. Sprinkling these in sometimes is the best 👌
Lemonsqueezy
It is a small cliffhanger. We don't get to know what the outcome of the lesson was, what Jake sees in the video of the class. What happens to Chalette, who I am assuming is the one that Idolizes Jake. Did Eversmile find a culprit for the attempted kidnapping? What does Villy think and how is he going to mess with Jake some more? Is he going to make Jake teach more often because of his success?
AngelusDaniel
a Friday chapter without a cliffhanger?? Zogarth are you feeling alright?

phenomenal chapter, read it while in my HSTR 494 lmfao
John A Lambeth
I’m an educator and autistic. This is exactly the experience I have on the best days in the classroom. Wonderful. If Jake continues on this, he’ll get addicted to the challenge and accomplishment.

none. Jake will have to do it again open to entire order. then again for pantheon of life
brjenness
acceleration of support for lord thane not the chosen. Just in case stuff happens in the milky way. for example gods getting frustrated that their b grades are falling one by one, so they send them all to earth better to fight for a man you support than for a chosen you are told to fight for.

Don't forget the anticipation of the perspective of the students who attended the lecture!

If they all turn into heretics, I'm going to love the convo with Villy about how he made them do it and so now he can aid in creating his own heretical club.

What an interesting week this was. I really hope we get another POV from one of the attendees on Monday. Also I really wonder how much info we’ll get about the dark faction for now considering Jake can’t really do anything with that information quite yet
Ben Sheahan
I could see him doing 1 or 2 per grade after he evolves.
Matthew Smith
Have to say that chapter was a lot more interesting to read than I thought it would be. Hell, I wish the lectures I went to had more practical aspects to them.
Zizawah
I beg to differ. From all the comments a majority was incredibly positive. Really Zogarth could give a master class in how to write riveting chapters even for the most mundane topic. And teaching is a really boring topic in a way and yet these three chapters knocked them out of the park. This is a Jake POV so it’s going to be more tell. But there’s seriously a rhythm to this chapter that really works. I feel exhausted and yet also incredibly satisfied vicariously at the end the chapter.
Alex Salamanca
Man I am loving this, I can't wait for Villy to start teasing Jake
Peter Smith
They are either actions or events where you surpass yourself or others by a severe amount. Assuming it is the record aspect of it, it would be more accurate to declare it as a turning point in the understanding of yourself or your path, either by a grand amount of people, or by higher ranking individuals. For instance ot was believed and understood that more likely than not Jake wouldn't have any topic of worth that he could expand on in his proposed lesson. That is not to say that they expected him to fail merely that they did not expect it to be of major worth beyond its basic inherent understanding. Instead however he brought out a topic that is not as widely understood but also changes how the average people percieve the art of casting and formations. He did this while also surpassing the expectations of those on how he would teach, as well as how well he would teach. Even more importantly it changed how he views himself in teaching, which is an aspect of his path he did not find of worth. In total he surpassed both his own and others expectations many times over and potentially changed the base records of an entire series of classes and professions. Not by much, but if each proceeding mage or alchemist begins to place stats into perception to aid their willpower in casting, it would change the fundamental records of the class... Which makes sense because that would mean that he is infusing the class with its primeval origin. TLDR: it is an acckmplishment of great magnitude that surpassed the expectations of everyone involved of high enough quality to be announced by the system.
Henscratch
Chalette’s life is irrevocably changed. And those tokens are now worth more than any amount of points they could hold…especially if sold to the primordial church. Although I imagine they had at least 1 member there. Hope the token doesn’t dissolve or anything so they CAN use the points and have a souvenir.

Thanks for the chapter! My well meaning criticism is - This chapter felt a little long for what it covers…it is rather boring, sorry to say. I’d suggest trying to condense it a bit or add in some more people-active interactions. The “show don’t tell” advice writers are told to do.

David Hall
I think the human from last chapter is the plant, if there is one, and both he and Chalette are gonna get some Primal Hunter or Heretic adjacent skill. A heretic one more likely if they buy into the "anything is possible" believe. Side note, I wish Duskleaf being bad at alchemy as a mortal even at C grade was more common knowledge so Jake could've used it to really cement the heresy.

Ohhh... I'm excited to see the repercussions of this! Both on him and his path as well as them and theirs.

The most significant thing to happen to them in a D grade is a heretic blasting his peak of existence aura at them… poor guys are going to be wondering what they did wrong and all lean into priesthood to pay for whatever it is they think they’ve done wrong
JonO
You know, I usually expect pov reactions at times like this and most times I can take it or leave it... this is the first time I actually craved a reaction by villy, random student number 257, or even another god who was hiding nearby getting moist over her heavy approval of his endorsement to the perception stat. But I got nothing and this is likely the biggest "cliff" to be left on today. Tyftc

Hello
