I got a letter from my son a few days ago. It described his cssmates. Normally this is not somethihers me with, but despite being in the same css as the prince, I have beeing told by my own son that apparently the css is filled with the monsters our Empire fights against! I demand to know what is going ohere!-A letter sent by a worried parent to the principal of the imperial academy
Gazing upon my fellow cssmates I tell that the joke is written by reality. There is a dwarf fiddling with a crossbow, who quickly locks unto my crossbow with a hungry gaze. There is a pale woman with red eyes looking with a different kind of hungry gaze. There is a skeleton that looks pletely out of pce with the school uniform. There is an orc crammed into the male school uniform, with a goblin covered ihers and bones sittio him. A huge Lamia with the school uniform, but also a headdress straight from the a Azte her head. There are two others with religious clothing, one of which is wearing ptes under white robes, the other one is a cow woman type Mazuriaeeth remind me of the British, no matter hht her smile. A set of Arabian twins are whispering loudly to each other, most likely from the far south. There is also another royal mermaid, and who I'm pretty sure is Alicia, sittio someone who kind of looks like her.
"There is some spa the back. Go sit there and don't disturb my css any further than you already have." I move to iween the dwarf and Alicia. The tter of which looks at me in surprise. The dwarf doesn't hesitate to go for what he wants.
"I'm Urist, mayor of Crystalspear. That's a mighty fine piece of work you are carrying around. Mind if I take a gander?" With everything I heard from dwarves, this wasly ued.
"I'm Esstrey, and yes, I would mind. I killed the person who made it to keep the design hidden after all." The dwarf grumbles, and I think Alicia overheard since I notice her going slightly closer to her other neighbor.
"Now, on to what I was saying before. Mana is a fual force of nature. Improper wielding will result in uable results. Basia manipution easily be achieved by feeling the mana within you, and then moving it around. As for aptitude of magic, you don't o worry too much about that. Anyone is capable of magic, but not everyone bee a mage. Some people just have a bigger fuel tank for mana than others, or just cast more effitly. Make sure to practice plenty in your spare time, mana manipution is the most important css in this entire school without a doubt." Shit, I think I already missed some major bits. Whatever, I'll just ask Ky ter if I don't know something I guess.
"Professor, every teacher here says they teach the most important css. The dueling teacher said the exact same thierday." Some dude with blonde hair says. Yet again, I am impressed by some people, as most of the human popution is still staring at Cathy and Ky.
"The dueling teacher is entitled to his own opinions." The professor is clearly not happy with said opinion. "Now to the knows. Since we have some new people in the css, I will go over them again. Nearly all magic has an opposing force, it is with that force the most, to the point where the weakest light barrier spell still has to be destroyed for dark magic to effect you. All magid their opposing side are as follows: light and dark, water and lightning, heat and cold, life ah, earth and air, sound and sight, spad time. There are some other forms of magic of course which do not fall in this category, some examples being the uable agic or the magieffit pure magic. These forms of magic however are generally not good for bat. There's also a whole heap of sub-elements, and unique magic spells which are harder to define. Blood magid the transmogrification spell being some well known examples." The pale erks up slightly at the st bit, clearly not expeg her slight movement to be noticed.
The css goes on for about half an hour, by the end of it the professor points us to the backyard training area. From what I see, most of the Mazurians of the css are all crowding Ky, who is clearly overwhelmed by all the attention. The exceptions to that rule are Cathy and me.
"e, dy Esstrey, I look forward to watg you [punch/apply physical force/beat] to the spawn of the northern nobles." Cathy is from the north? That actually makes sense if she is the product of some cult trying to reach beyond themselves. Urist walks o me.
"I'll cut ye a deal, let me improve some of your works, and in exge ye let me pick yer brain on some things ya won't kill me over." Clever little man, I'll bite.
"Sure, that seems like a lovely idea." Especially sidering that if my assumptions on most of these students being closer to diplomatic delegations being correct, I would need all the allies I get. What I certainly don't think is a good idea is letting all the delegates fight.
