Following the morning session with his magically inclined students, and Marie, Guy took a quick break within the RoK to formulate his lesson plan for his regular students. (You've secured your third student,) Mast commented as he instantaneously materialised next to Guy. 'Just three?' Guy muttered in confusion. He falsely assumed that Marie would have been tagged as the fourth student. Apparently, the girl was still unconvinced about Guy's capacity as a teacher. 'Makes sense. She should probably be a…-

Guy's intention with a preliminary assessment was to understand the breadth of his student's basics. Without a standardised curriculum for education, Guy needed to understand how much Jean and Marie knew already, and to what extent their prowess was in those topics. While Guy didn't mind teaching them only on an individual basis, the strategy wasn't scalable. As his class strength increased it would be more efficient to first establish a baseline as a starting point and then build up from there. "The…

Being put on the spot like that, Jean was rendered speechless. Why was she so eager to learn magic? 'Do I even want to learn magic?' She asked herself. #Right! Just give up already!# *But what about our dreams?* 'What dreams?' Ever since that "fateful" day, all Jean ever dreamt of was her mother's savage demise. Jean's composure shattered as the weight of the question and its implications dawned upon her. Learning magic and walking the path of magehood was a foregone conclusion to the heirs of…

Markus arrived at the classroom much earlier than the scheduled morning lesson. He would spend the additional time before the start of the lesson to clean up the classroom and prep it for his Master. Although Guy had told him that it wasn't necessary, Markus felt that it was his responsibility to make his Master's life easier in any way possible, given how Guy was teaching him for no fee. Besides, Markus had heard through secondary sources that it was often a Disciples task to perform such trivial tasks to…

Jean woke up earlier than usual. Although the new environment was quite tranquil and soothing, it was always uncomfortable to be pulled out of one's comfort zone. It was twice as hard for Jean since even back in her own bed she would struggle with sleep, given her frequent nightmares. In the end, rather than laying on the mattress and staring blankly at the ceiling, Jean figured it would be better to take a walk and familiarise herself with her new home. That is, as long as Teacher Larks would have…

Goran's emotions fluctuated from one end to another as a series of thoughts and conclusions ran rampant through his head. "Hahahahaha!" He laughed fanatically as he waved an arm, pulling a chair from the classroom behind him towards himself. "I want you to explain to me your rationale," Goran declared inquisitively as he sat down. "Father..." Jean pleaded. "This is... inappropriate," she reasoned. "Nonsense! The boy said that he has never seen a Red Dragon before, I believe him. He said that he read…

Goran's exclamation drew the attention of the twins. Once they noticed the three new faces, the two cautiously retreated behind Markus and peeked out from behind his legs. "Little Boy. Did you paint this?" Goran asked with some excitement as well as mild amusement. Kano looked up at Markus, who returned a smile and said, "That is Jean Rasmus. She is Master's newest student. This Sir is her father, Goran Rasmus." Kano nodded in affirmation and spoke with a low hum, "It's Smaug..." Goran started…

Guy and Al split up from the group and left the orphanage. Guy walked listlessly as his mind was preoccupied with cobbling up a decent way to break the news to Grace. He knew for a fact that she wouldn't be particularly keen on having another individual, especially a mage, living in her orphanage. Through observing and getting to know her through infrequent, yet charged, conversations Guy found out that the woman wasn't that fond of mages. At first, he thought it was just him she was averse to, but he…

Guy coughed and smiled wryly after hearing Goran's question. 'How am I going to answer that?' He could say yes and agree with whatever Al just said before. But was it the right thing to do? 'Al is literally stretching my BS story to its limits by deriving such a conclusion...' Guy thought to himself. But then something struck him. 'Wait a minute! This whole interaction... The misunderstanding... A character showing his ignorance after performing a feat that most would consider extraordinary or…

After registering the question Guy went on to explain everything that had occurred, barely an hour ago, with enough detail to enlighten Al's doubts. Sure, there were parts Guy wasn't "allowed" to reveal such as the existence of The Church, since it would inevitably point towards the presence of the RoK inside him, which would, in turn, make it evident that he wasn't from this world. "After Markus' loss against Gaige, he had been holing up in his room coming up with spells to counter the wave of darkness,"…
