hey everybody how's it going before we get into today's video I want to ask to see if you're subscribed real quick if you're not it's free and it will let you know whenever we post new videos without further Ado why am I even doing this anyways I could be anywhere else right now I could be covering a shift at yies I I could be chilling by the old bridge enjoying a vape I could be at my friend's house playing games he's cool like that I could be doing anything but attending this boring ass school with
these boring ass teachers learning boring ass nothing important who who needs to know the exact atomic weight of hydrogen a scientist sure I mean I ain't a scientist I ain't a historian I ain't non of whatever the hell these teachers think I am or can be I don't need to know any of this garbage it won't keep me fed won't pay my mom's medication won't pay the bills for the house and given the actual research I've done it doesn't even land you a job either I my shifts at jockeys are worth more to employers than
a college degree let alone a high school diploma it's pointless worthless garbage that Society wants to shove down my throat because they did it and their parents did it and their parents before them you I had to suffer so you have to too [ __ ] maybe I actually wouldn't skip school so much if it was actually useful at least not boring Spirits why do it have to be me I decid to distract myself while the teacher drones on by looking at outfits on r/g gooth I don't exactly need any more ideas I've got a
wardrobe already but I need something to keep myself sane speaking of outfits since I need to distract myself today I decided to go slightly less Punk than usual and more goth found a really nice scale paint that some human made that is supposedly the darkest black ever conceived and really lives up to the name it's toxic to human skin but my species scales it's just fine sticks around a long time too even through multiple showers but if I really need it off I can use a paint thinner I went with some cool ancient culture designs
from some place on Tera called Europe specifically the culture humans called the Kelts they all fought naked well my species doesn't wear the skin of other animals or woven plants I thought it was a good fit not to mention that my people apparently look like something the humans called dragons except for the whole being upright on two legs so I spent the better part of my morning painting these cool lines all over myself and the other parts of my morning being smug as I got near full from the monitor at the school gate yeah but
nothing came of it the school wants me attending and they know I'm already working so they know damn well they can't threaten me with suspension or expulsion oh no I don't have to go to school anymore whatever should I do make money I guess [ __ ] suddenly I'm snapped Back to Reality by Mr thin skin himself Miss yorg would you please put your phone away and pay attention at least when I ask you a question his name isn't actually thin skin but that's what he is him and most everyone else in the Galaxy VAR
and humans are the only species that actually know what it's like to struggle or at least knew I guess my dead beat dad used to tell me that kids these days didn't know a damn thing about true battle as if he could understand when he St being a play for other clans while I stuck here keeping mom breathing as if he could ever understand my struggle poser the teacher man gave me the look you know the one part frustration part disappointment part pity I hate him for it he thinks he knows me him and his
stupid time stupid glasses human fashion is really all over the place but at least I know which parts of it are actually cool in goodlooking I mean this guy went with the most plain boring drab outfit I could ever possibly imagine and he wears it literally every day perfect to compliment his thin gray skin and featureless eyes Miss yorg he insists Spirits save me I stand up if only to avoid holding up the class Mr fo Will Keep Us locked in here if he asked to get me to answer a question I didn't care to
spend any more time here than I absolutely have to yeah yeah what's your question Mr fo can you tell me the definition of Venom he asks turning to begin writing on the board I respond venomously you mean besides Society in this school or parents yeah I know it a poisonous substance secreted by animals and typically injected into prey or aggressors by biting or stinging as I say the words the actual definition that is he doesn't even dignify my snark with the response he writes it down on the board I sit back down pretending not to
hear The hushed Whispers of other students how is she so smart she skips almost every day it's so unfair there goes hookie Savant again idiots there's nothing you can learn from this place in years that you couldn't learn in a handful of hours from a decent search on the net take past the propaganda advertisements and dumbass AI fake [ __ ] and you actually find useful information on just about anything Venoms in particular are cool and therefore useful to me I might need them if Dad starts coming home drunk again not that it'll actually kill
him as much of an [ __ ] as he is he's still a royal guard got his own personal Clan with mom had me then proceeded to prioritize work over his own Clan leaving me to fend for her and myself while he blows all the money on drugs parties and political gifts so he can keep living his high life at the court oh well I wallow away barely scraping by only reason I haven't ditched school completely is because he needs to keep up an image badly enough to threaten me over it bastard yes Miss yor
that's correct Mr F confirms with the same tone of disappointment he usually has towards me a Venom is often secreted as a weapon and typically requires some kind of injury which means it's usually only effective if applied intravenously where a poison is anything that is toxic or harmful whether ingested or merely touched animal or otherwise it can be intervenous too hence the common confusion I actually pay attention this time sort of half maybe only because this is the one subject that I think is actually worth listening to though I doubt he'll say anything I haven't
already read he continues now in general this subject isn't very well researched idiot of course it is the humans have done tons of research on it at least not its effects on non-human species the humans themselves of course live on the most toxic planet the Galaxy and have done extensive research in this regard but in the context of most species in the Galaxy that research isn't very applicable because humans evolved on their own world and are as a result shockingly resilient against most organic varieties of toxic substances only potent chemical toxins like acid or heavy
metals or the deadliest organic substances in the Galaxy such as neurotoxins or lethal pathogens can truly threaten a human's life oh I didn't read that that I knew that tarot was the most toxic planet in the galaxy but what did he mean their research isn't applicable and since Humanity doesn't make a habit out of using live test subjects even of themselves let alone other species the exact effects of most toxins on most species are largely unknown save for the fact that uh nearly all of them are far far more severe on any one of us
than it would be for a human the common exception are recreational drugs or medications which of course are extensively tested for all species and and one thing we can say for certain is that humans often require anywhere from 2 to 20 times higher dosages for most medications to function VAR by contrast are known to be particularly sensitive to most toxic substances primarily because their first line of defense against toxins is their scales to simply not be poisoned in the first place again of course accepting things like recreational drugs the VAR are in fact just as
resilient against ingested toxins as humans are but only the ingested ones now that's interesting research papers humans wrote didn't mention this probably because they wanted to keep it a secret tricky humans hiding their weapons against the Galaxy making sure that the galnet doesn't know that they're so armed but now I do spirits damn it because I came to class today but that does mean the small amount of poison I put on the handle of that snargle Blast bottle in the fridge might actually kill kill him oh [ __ ] he was supposed to come home
the day say that's the real reason I decided not to skip mom's in the hospital for a regular visit and not because she's scheduled for regular visits but because every day is a coin flip and two days ago she got in a bad way and I'm here which means he'd have no one to vent his frustration on better he destroyed parts of the house than either of us but that also means that there's no one there but him it was a simple trap I set up I used his connections to discreetly acquire a special type
of very small bug from Earth it's called an ant when one small enough to fit under varg's scales so I set up a farm at home and may or may not have slipped a few into a thin piece of paper and wrapped it around the handle of the bottle just so anyone grabbing it would get a handful of them they're called fire ants apparently because a bite makes you feel like you're on fire I just thought it would be a funny way to get payback I even set up a camera in the kitchen to see
his reaction caught somewhere between concern and curiosity I opened the stream to that camera on my phone still listening to the teacher since it seems today's lecture might actually be useful Mr foe makes space on the hollow board and starts writing down a list as I watch my hidden camera apparently just in time to see Dad home merrily opening the fridge and grabbing a bottle I have to stifle a laugh as I watched the almost immediate reaction you get what's coming to you [ __ ] now you come home to pain common side effects for
most toxins when accounting for the dramatic increase in severity will include pain I watch as he throws the bottle to the ground and starts trying to crush and Pat away the the ants the camera doesn't have audio but I can see him yelling dizziness or a headache he stumbles putting one hand on the counter right next to my ant farm he sees it realizes what I did and slams it with the fist bad idea now he's covered in them nausea he's rolling on the ground now losing lunch diarrhea oh not looking forward to cleaning that
up swelling I can see that one of his eyes are practically shut he looks like a balloon difficulty breathing oh oh well that one's actually pretty bad yeah he had a hand on his throat he's fling around now going to have to stay away from home after school a while and if left untreated death oh [ __ ] that's not good very very very not good I watch in horror as it liling slows even if I called now it it might already be too late the camera feed is a 2minute delay [ __ ] [
__ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] that's not good [ __ ] not because it's a crime to kill or at least in most parts of the Galaxy in fact on VAR specifically it's only a crime if you kill dishonorably which means without a formal duel or when not first aggressed technically speaking dad has aggressed both me and my mother on several occasions actually kept recordings as proof for when the day came that I was uh ready to face him but I I didn't think if it would happen like this I didn't want it
to be like this I wanted to be there I wanted to do it myself although in I guess in a way I did the real problem now is the law for what happens when a royal guard is slain specifically what happens is that his Slayer becomes their replacement so long as it was an honorable Kill by someone who's not an enemy of the throne and I have proof that he started and and if I don't present that then I dishonor assassinated my own father on accident the teacher must have seen the shock on my face
because he calls on me again miss yorg finally taking an interest I see is this information really so shocking to you I thought you didn't share in the typical VAR ideal of invulnerability finally convinced that school's worth attending smug bastard I stand almost cracking the wood of my chair frankly Mr fool shut up I have to go now something big just came up he is not having any of it miss yorg you may be VAR but in this place I am the author but I ignore him pushing past and actually breaking down the door with
a full-bodied kick in my rush to get out of there before the real authorities figure out what happened and show up every royal guard has a heart monitor and the second he draws his last breath they will know and they will investigate immediately since he didn't have any duel scheduled and His Image is one of honor and not a dead be beat prick that beats his own blood I passed by several people on my way I barely even acknowledge their looks or glances a few of the school's guards try to stop me but I give
them my look and then turn away I've beaten their asses a handful of times and they know that they can't stop me if I really really don't want to be stopped I'm not the daughter of a royal guard for nothing dad didn't train me a day but he didn't need to I trained myself with the hopes of one day beating him in a more traditional fashion but right now I need to get there so I can stop whatever authorities go to investigate from getting in the house and getting themselves caught in the swarm of fire
ants that are Loos in it oh did you think I was concerned about my father's death hardly I'm concerned that it'll go to several dishonorable kills if I'm not there to warn people away and start fumigating the house when I got the ants I spent a couple of months secretly modifying the security shutters to be airtight so I could kill anything in the house with a press of the button if I needed to for the ants of course I get there hours before the investigators do by the time they've arrived I've already activated the shutters
and turned on the air pump the inside hit vacuum a while ago and the sensors I put in aren't detecting any more life signs I ruin some of the food but that's a small price to pay for ensuring this goes smoothly how interesting the interrogator said I'm not sure of their identity interrogators always wear a special garment that that hides their true self and disguises their voice every interrogator is a faceless wall of fear at least of the guilty and in this case I knew I had no guilt to show so you claim your clan
patriarch your direct father would frequently aggress you and your mother dishonorably and that you have only now responded to his dishonor by killing him why not plead to a higher authority why wait this long the interrogator pressed but I knew tricks I've been practicing for this moment since I first decided that I would kill my father though it was earlier than I was expecting I claim nothing I've already submitted video and audio evidence of my father's dishonor and my honorable retaliation I must remain adamant and consistent I also have to fully enunciate my words I
pick up a habit of ignoring certain sounds and syllables from my human friends on the galet one I cannot risk falling into before this VAR any changes in my story will smell of Deceit even if they're made by accident he retorts with a not unreasonable perspective honorable retaliation you say you weren't even there he died to small insects where is the honor in such a kill but I know the perfect response one that has been tried and true in ages past insects that I placed there knowing that he would encounter them it was by his
action that I and mother was suffered the dishonor of an attack unwarranted it is by my hand that his Dem eyes was rot that is all that matters unless you would claim that the commander of an army holds no honor for having been at the war table rather than the battlefield or that the emperor would hold none for sitting upon the throne As He commands his Legions I can't see it but I detect the hints of a rise smile from beneath his Veil so you are as witty as the rumors say rumors I'd understand if
there were rumors about my being a delinquent rumors my father rallied against No Doubt not because he cares for me but because of how badly it affects or rather affected His Image but I can't respond to his comment I answer questions idle discussion is not appropriate in this situation and would be viewed as a sign of immaturity and thus a disqualification from Ascension to Royal Guard of course I want his position just because my father was one doesn't mean that the position itself is befit only of cowards and bastards I will be a better guard
than he could ever hope to and now is the only opportunity I'll ever have and I will put the money toward our mother's treatment and with it recovery is possible High School's worthless anyways no matter what the humans say the interrogator stands it is already finished so quickly that will be all then matriarch yorg you are dismissed he gathers some papers as he makes to leave the room but I stand myself doing my best to keep my frustration under control what what do you mean all I slew a royal guard in honorable self-defense surely you
are as aware of the law as I am he turns to me and surely you are aware matriarch yorg of your own streak of Disobedience you regularly ignore the Commandments of authority you ditch school you break laws and illegally imported toxic animals from Earth did you truly believe your actions came with no consequence that you had been somehow subverting the system no consider yourself lucky that you are not being punished for your usage of an illegal weapon in an honor killing it is the greatest Mercy I can grant in light of your father's dishonor in
any case none can be royal guard who cannot be trusted to heed the commands of the emperor you are dismissed his words Echo finality and Truth he's right I don't know why I was expecting to be given such a duty Rd role when I myself regularly sh even the most basic of responsibilities I kick myself I kick myself for having been so foolish but at least I'm free of him at least we are free of him my clan such as it is with just myself and mother will receive father's honorable death pension should hold us
for a while but if I'm to continue paying for her medication I will need some other path in life it's time I do um something the interrogator leaves the room first as honor etiquette dictates but before I can begin to Leave Myself another VAR meets him at the door the interrogator nods to him as if confirming some kind of secret question then passes and walks away the other V that enters also wears a veil but not that of an interrogator rather it is that of royalty immediately I must bow my head kneeling as I do
so to present the soft reversed scales at the nape of my neck our most vulnerable weak point and that which we must show to express respect trust and Defence an ancient greeting used only when met my royalty by those of the VAR bloodline or their most trusted subordinates stand yourself matriarch York your honor is recognized now sit with me he speaks his voice is not disguised but in truth I've not seen enough Royal broadcast to tell if he's true royalty or just a subordinate though he is to be given respect either way I do as
he commands he begins speaking and I listen with more wrapped attention than I have listened to anything in my entire life we are not about to have a conversation in fact I am not in this room you have already left departing for your freshly fumigated home to enjoy The Spoils of your Victory The Honorable death penion has already been delivered and as a token of sincerity from the royal guard themselves in for forgiveness of their oversight of your father's actions your mother's treatment has been paid for in full she will receive the operation she requires
and the doctors have already assured a full recovery I am reeling from shock but I can't allow it to show on my face and my posture or even in my own thoughts I must control myself for once in my life I must be under absolute control I am sure this comes as something of a surprise but it is only right you see matriarch York I have been watching you paying very close attention at first you were little more than a name on a list of figures to keep tabs on the daughter of a royal guard
and a delinquent your searches in the Gown that frequently touched upon intriguing topics very intriguing your actions and your situation though regrettable could not be a iated so easily thankfully you took matters into your own hands and proved your worth he continues on fully in control of the entire situation and so keenly aware of my true self despite my attempts to stay calm but what does he mean by proved your worth He leans in his arms bending the table under his technologically enhanced strength creaking with the low thrumming moan of a space vessel contorting from
thermal expansion and contraction his voice is of a similar Timber and I cannot truthfully say that I had the purest of thoughts about it I need you matriarch York to be more specific the VAR Empire needs you Mr fo was not lying the subjects of toxins is ill researched so much so that you with little more than your skill in perusing ancient articles of text are currently the most well informed on the subject of anyone in the Empire save a handful of scientists scientists who lack the proper mindset do you understand me he pauses I'm
clearly meant to respond I I I think I might be but could you be clear just to assuage my uncertainties he leans back now the table creaking again as it tries and fails to return to its former shape I'm saying matriarch that exactly as you so boldly spoke to the interrogator earlier not all honor is found upon the field of battle there are other ways to serve ways that the public would not look favorably on for they ignorance of course sometimes A Warrior's true place is in the shadows I I am being made an offer
he's offering me a position as a shadow Shadows are mythological as the name suggest they're often seen as little more than a vague impression people rumor about them think they exist but there's never any proof no one truly knows but they are feared enough that people act as if they do anyways just in case a shadow is a trained killing machine a warrior of unmatched skill and prowess should it not be another should it not be one who's been trained from birth the interrogator just mentioned my disqualification from Royal Guard times are changing matriarch Humanity
poses a genuine threat one that our Empire has not faced since varg the First's repulsion of the Conquering and founding of the Empire even their most small and pathetic of creatures is dangerous enough to threaten our greatest warriors as you have so directly shown we need not just a defense against these toxins but await turned them to our use while I do not believe that true war will break it is a possibility that cannot be ignored a human associate of mine once told me to maintain peace you must be prepared for war a very apt
way of putting it he reaches under his Shaw as if to stroke his own chin and thought before continuing humans are highly resistant to toxins but not invulnerable the best way to catch a foe off guard is to defeat them with what they believe to be their greatest strength for it is there that they shall expend the least effort in defense as a daughter of a royal guard your potential is assured you will receive training but it is your specialty that I require you will receive all the resources you need to become more versed in
it than even the most diligent of humans you will live amongst and besides them we're better to learn of a hunter's prey than by observing The Nest this is my chance this is it this is how I escape this is how I save Mother this is how I save my clan I open my mouth I I but he shushes me say nothing if you are willing to become my shadow then all you need to do is attack and school tomorrow [ __ ] and I give you a special pardon that allows you to forego the
legal education requirement and immediately enter the workforce properly your path will be your own to choose attend and you will find that a special transfer request has been made for you and you will be sent home early to pack your bags so that you may begin attending the most prestigious Academy in the Galaxy newly founded and already hailed as the single greatest institution of Education ever conceived oh Spirits he means the council Institute he speaks with appropriate grandiosity the place of higher education fashioned after the universities of Tara where the brightest youths of all species
gather to learn from the greatest Minds the galaxy has ever seen you will be among the first V to attend alongside the sons of the princes and several other of the retainer Clans representing your own Clan as its matriarch with a singular Mission he stands and speaks with with an amused tone become friends with the humans there get close to them and study your specialty toxicology they call it learn from the best so that when I call upon you you may answer with a new form of Weaponry farewell for now matriarch York when next we
meet you will be worthy of being my shadow I sit in stunned silence as he leaves the room his presence has left an indelible Mark upon my soul as it did upon that poor table first day of class at the council Institute the greatest Academy ever founded already sporting the most prestigious professors from all over the Galaxy and enrolling the best and brightest students from schools of every species on the council it starts with the junior level of high school at least by the standards of how my school's back on Earth I'm so Tara is
the official name now the UN decided that it rang better I I guess that doesn't matter anyone can apply although it is quite expensive if you don't pass the test for scholarship and even if you pay the price you still can't get in without an incredible academic record I'm sure that the rest of my time in school will be spent surrounded by intelligent Minds worth talking to I cannot contain my excitement at the prospect of making new friends that truly understood human the tall brutish female varg says she pins Me by an arm to a
wall in an empty hallway she's tall covered in white scales painted with strangely Celtic looking black pain is that vant black she has very pronounced eyes thanks to van and a number of very invasive looking piercings although she's pinned me to the wall she didn't actually do it hard enough to hurt from now on you and I are friends got it she commands she she she wants want be friends is this how VAR make friends I have no idea I mean she's a bit aggressive but she technically hasn't hurt me and I did want want
to make friends but I don't know I mean I'll ask just in case uh are you sure I don't think this is how friends I begin stammering a bit from nervousness but the other hand slams into the wall shut up now that we're friends tell me where the biology department is the layout of this place is confusing and I'm going to be late for class specifically I need room 12b 12b that's that's toxicology with professor kooch that's my next class ah dear I answer before she decides to apply any more pressure raising my hand to
correct the position of my glasses before the lens warping makes me dizzy okay well uh that that's toxicology with Professor Coke right I I happen to have that class as well I guess you can uh follow me there good she barks before dropping the pin and letting me go tentatively I begin to walk and she does does in fact follow so much for making like-minded friends
