Unforeseen Consequences - Groovin' Magic (pt.9)

>”Oh come on dear, don’t tell me that you can’t recognize me after just a single night of sleep” the mare that is calling herself Celestia giggles “but don’t worry, I forgive you… look I even brought you the breakfast directly to you!”
>She raises with her magic a silver plate that contained a glass of milk, orange juice and pancakes.
>You look at her with skeptical eyes; this was either a Discord’s ruse or someone who broke in into your room.
“I’m pretty sure that my Celestia is a lot different than you”
>The mare smirks and answers with a condescending tone “Oh really, how so?” she says while placing the plate on a nearby tea table.
>You roll your eyes and let out a snort. Was this mare really this dense? Luna and Celestia are supposed to be the rulers of a whole country.
>And based on everything you’ve seen, they are physically quite different from every other pony, while this one is just a basic unicorn… she’s cute, but she’s not your Celestia.
“Oh please, for starters, she’s way taller than you.” You do a motion with your front hooves, emphasizing her height.
>The mare looks at you with a cocky expression, passing her hoof through her mane “Oh, is that all? Because if it is… then I'm afraid that you might not be a really good observer”
>She was starting to get to your nerves… but don’t worry, of course that’s not all
>You point at her horn “Well, of course not, my moms are also quite different from other ponies… and you…” You remark the last part, so hopefully she can get the indirect “They have wings, and their manes are also very different from other ponies, unlike yours which is… or more like it works in a completely normal way”
>She doesn’t let go her arrogant expression, this time raising her left front leg up to a bend “Oh you mean…” her horn starts to glow right after those words, a blinding light starts to envelop her.
“AGH”
>You cover your eyes; the light was too goddamn bright
>”Like this?” The light fades and what you see is…
“No way… No freaking way… How?!”
>It was Celestia, who still had her arrogant look, front leg still raised
>”Magic, silly” She says with a smug tone
>Ooooh now you get it… but… You were starting to wonder how powerful this “magic” could actually be if it allowed for such transformations on the fly
>Celestia lets out a small laugh “I got you good didn’t I? Oh but one more thing” she walks to the right side of the bed and leans closer to you…
>She’s using perfume… niiiiice. You become distracted by her beauty for a few moments... until a slight bonk in your face takes you out from your trace
>You rub your head… it didn’t hurt but it certainly was enough to bring you back to reality “ouch… what was that for?” You ask while rubbing your head.
>”Language of course” she lets out a slight chuckle “but well, I can’t blame you after I tricked you this good”
>While you couldn’t deny that she rused you good, something inside you couldn’t let you admit full defeat “Yeah, well… I was kinda suspicious”
>This makes your “mom” laughs a little and waves her right hoof dismissively “Oh puh-lease, I got you, and got you good”
>“But anyways my dear, I didn’t lie about me bringing your breakfast, so come on while is still hot” she walks towards the tea table and motions you to come with her.
>You were kinda salty about being fooled like this… but whatever, you hop off the bed and join Celestia who was already sitting on the floor at the a side of the table.
>You sit on the opposite side. One of the things you notice besides the breakfast looking pretty fucking tasty was how… natural it felt sitting on the floor with this new body. You couldn’t put it with words but it felt just... well, natural.
>But then it hit you… how were you going to grab the fork… or the glass… or anything with your hooves… goddamn, you certainly hope that whatever Discord did to your brain that it covered basic table etiquette.
>…Or… you could use this as an experiment to try to use your magic again
>”Is there something wrong my dear? I swear that your breakfast isn’t something else in disguise” Celestia was looking concerned and amused at the same time.
>That snaps you momentarily from your thoughts
“Wha-… Oh no, not at all” You let out a nervous laugh “Just… I want to try… something”
>Celestia was now looking you with curiosity. Ok… like Discord taught you… focus… feel the magic…
>The spoon gets enveloped by a beige aura and start floating… hmm this is easy… you start flipping the fork and moving it around the table…
>The magic itself almost felt like an extra an invisible and right now impossible to explain limb, but this was also incredibly easy so far.
“Aha! I did it!”
>Celestia claps her hooves looking at you impressed “Very well done! Believe it or not a lot of unicorns on your age usually find this kind of basic spells really difficult to perform”
>Now this actually got your attention “Really?” You ask legitimately curious.
>She nods “Weeeell, I don’t know how was in your old… home” the last part being said with a hint of sadness
>“But usually is at your age when foals starts to actually get a grasp on how to control their magic instead of just displaying random magical strikes… and of course, some are better than others depending on how much talent and magic they have inside them… this is usually determined by…” she then stops realizing something and let out a small giggle
>”Sheesh…” she rolls her eyes “for a moment I almost sounded like my faithful Twilight there” she chuckles “Aaanyways, what I want to say is that everypony indeed learns basic spells such as the one you are displaying when they are young… but not anypony can learn as fast as others.”
>You raise your head and look at the ceiling, starting to rationalize what she has told you… hmm… you bring the fork to your eye vision and start rotating it… it felt so… natural, maybe... just maybe you do have a natural talent for this.
“So… what you are saying is that magic or more like what one can do with it is dependent on how much talent and the raw quantity of magic that I store inside me, right?”
>Celestia was becoming more concerned about you, or more like what you didn’t know. She nods and answers your question “Yes, but it also depends on how hard you study the science of magic… Anon, I need to know... did they ever teach you the basics of magic?” she asks legitimately concerned
>The science of magic? Heh, that would be considered as non-sense back in your world… but maybe these ponies has actually mastered this… magic by using the scientific method.
> You shake your head  ”Nope, nothing at all” you answer her, still inspecting the rotating fork… a new thought passing through your mind.
>Celestia didn’t like what you said in the slightest ”That’s… terrible!, I’m so sorry… nopony should be neglected from learning about magic… much less a unicorn!” she says  in a tone that ranged from concerned, to indignation to angry.
>But you don’t take concern in that; this train of thought could actually lead to some truly interesting “experiments”
> You shift your gaze from the fork to Celestia whose happiness was now gone… and it indeed distracts you a little, you really can’t stand to see her like that... but this would probably like her.
“Then… I have an idea that probably will fix that… let’s see how good I’m at this” you say with a proposing voice
>” Mmmm so that’s why you were spazzing out, thank heavens, I thought that you were starting to get depressed” Celestia says with relief on her voice, before suddenly being hit by the implications on what you just said
 >A sly smile is drawn on her face as she seems to catch where you were going “Anon, before you say anything else, please allow me to get ahead of your idea…”
> Now you were the one who was curious… but also excited at what Celestia could bring to the table.
“How so?”
>She looks at you with a confident smile "You see, Anon...” She clears her throat “There are a number of ways to test the magical skill of a young unicorn, but one of the most basic is well… to have the foal do a more complex spell, but since that would take a night of hard study at the very least, and the only spell I know for a fact you can use is magical levitation…”
>Celestia was now more and more starting to sound like one of your college professors… which as a matter of fact you liked a lot since you thought that this kind of experiment designing wasn’t going a thing in this new world.
>So if the question is How to test your magic capabilities given that you can only levitate things, then the hypothesis would be…
“What if we take this basic spell to another level? If grabbing a with my magic takes x amount of energy and y amount of skill. Then increasing the number of the variable a should also increase the required amounts of x and y. So increasing the amounts of things that I can levitate should give us a good idea about what my limits are in both terms of skill and raw quantities of magic”
>Celestia claps her hooves looking genuinely impressed “That’s simply amazing my dear! You have lots of intelligence inside that cute head of yours, did you studied a lot in your old world?”.
>This makes you smile… an arrogant smile… study a lot? That’s an understatement, you don’t get to the position that you had on the scientific community with just lots of study… No… You need to pour your very soul into what you do.
“Well… that’s a way to put it… he he he… I didn’t know anyo- err anypony that were on my level when it came to school” You say as “humbly” as you could.
>Celestia finds this cute as she giggles at your answer “Then I think you won’t have any trouble when you go to school then…”
>Her expression changes to a more serious one… like a professor “But remember, this will only serve just to give us an early idea of what your magical potential would be… but…” she softens
>She flies towards you and sits by your side, covering you with her wing “I’m sure that whatever happens, you will make me proud”
>You nod, feeling confident on yourself and the fact that Celestia believed in you
>You close your eyes… and remember Discord’s words… focus… feel the world around you… concentrate on the magic inside you…
>You feel your horn being charged more and more with energy… it felt… warm
>You start to feel the plate… not only in touch, but actually a representation of it on your mind… then the table… then your bed… then the room as a whole.

>”Very good, now focus… let your magic flow… let the magic be a part of you… don’t be afraid… you can do this” You hear Celestia speak to you in a soft voice.
>Right… let your magic flow… relax… you feel how you grab every piece of the room… how your magic is becoming more and more like another part of your very being
>With each thing you started to grab with your magic you could also feel how more taxing it was becoming for your brain… nothing too great… but it was increasing more and more, sweat starts to run through your forehead.
>You hear Celestia giggle “Open your eyes... my sunshine”
>You obey and slowly open your eyes…
“Whoah”
>You made every object including yourself and Celestia float… not much, maybe two feet or so above the ground.
>But holy blazes this was awesome!
>Thanks to your impression your concentration goes down the toilet, making you break the spell… and in turn making every object fall to the ground.
>Except for you, Celestia and the table with the breakfast plate thanks to your “mom” that makes descend gently with her own magic
>Celestia gives you a gentle pat on the head and a little kiss on the cheek… you look to her… yeah she’s proud of you, and goddamn it feels nice!.
“Well… What did you think? Do I have a chance at this?”
>You ask somewhat arrogantly… but also nervous… you start to realize how important her validation is becoming for you.
>Celestia rubs her chin with her left front hoof, thinking hard about what happened “Hmmmm… Nah”
>And just like that all your confidence crumbles and feel your heart sink
“W-what? But why?”
>But as soon as you start thinking for possible answers she breaks into laughter, taking you into her front legs, rolling on the floor so she’s belly up with you resting on her chest, hugging you tightly.
>”I’m just kidding my dear!” she giggles staring deeply into your eyes with a loving, motherly gaze “That was quite impressive, even more considering that you didn’t have any prior knowledge of magic…” she gives you a little kiss in your muzzle... which makes you felt like if you were in heaven.
>You didn’t know anything about magic, but you sure as shit watched the empire strikes back like a million times, and magic seems to work like the Force…
>“But I’m sure that you’ll want the specifics… and well… I can conclude that you indeed harvest a great magic potential in both skill and amount of magic… but”
>Her words fills you with hope, every inch of your body was getting excited at what she’s going to say next
“Buuuut?” You ask, swinging your tail like an excited puppy.
>She gently strokes your mane, rolling her eyes in amusement “But remember that this experiment was to just give us a very early idea about your magical capabilities… Only time and hard work can tell us how far you can go”
>Well, that was disappointing, but she was right, science can’t be learn in just one sitting, is a hard process… but still, damn you were hoping for a more accurate answer.
>Celestia taking notice in your disappointment puts her hoof under your chin, raising you head so you look her in the eye “Don’t be sad my sunshine, if anything you have proven yourself as a more than capable student for my school”
>She has a school? So she’s a ruler and an academic… holy fuck, she’s goddamn awesome!
“Your… school? Like you actually own one?” You inquire
>She gives you a nod, still gently stroking your mane “Mmhmm I founded a school dedicated to the teachings of magic to the most talented unicorns in Equestria, so that way their talents won’t go to waste”
>She’s the goddamn Professor Xavier… And she said that you are apt for it! Fuck yeah, you goddamn lucky bastard!
“A-and you said that”
>Celestia puts her hoof on your mouth sushing you “Yes, congratulations my sunshine… You just were accepted to be a student in my school for gifted unicorns” after she finishes her sentences she hugs you tightly once more before putting you on the floor.
>”Me and Luna will give you the details later, but for now you need to finish your breakfast, we have a fun day ahead of us and we better not keep it waiting”.
>You nod without questioning more, in part because she already told you that a more in depth explanation would come and in other… because after that trick you were starving.
