Welcome to Gaia! ::

~}Raygourn{~

Raygourn stopped reading the tomes and closed the books. he decided to go take a look at the class room he would be using. as Raygourn entered he looked around, there were desks on one side for lecturing days, he decided to call those theory days, he looked at the other end where there was a matt, magic absorbing targets and an empty corner sort of secluded, he would use that side of the room for days they practice spell casting, those would be practical days he thought. Raygourn started taking spell tomes and books and placed them on shelves he put posters of unnatural creatures only known in summonings and conjuring, he looked at the corner and summoned an obilisk that went from the floor to just under the roof of his class. the obilisk was to make spells almost harmless for even the most harmful spells inside this classroom. he looked around happy that it was a safe and nice looking class and sat at his desk for a moment to catch his breath.

Veith entered the somewhat empty classroom. There was a lone figure in the classroom, but Veith didn't know him and he just didn't care. He was just glad to get away from the idiot Kamil and all the chatty people that surrounded him. For once it was quiet and that was good. Veith found a desk and slid into the seat. He set down his favorite tome on his desk and leaned back on his chair and stared out the window. Normally he would do some studying and would read, but he felt too exhausted to think or read.

Fortunately he was out of the Battle Strategy class. He was never one for physical exertion anyways. Besides, it was difficult to take anyone seriously in that class since everyone there were all idiots.

This class better not be another waste of time. If the teacher was an idiot, Veith would just get up and leave.

Sonneillon lifted his head and looked at the teacher. So this school could not even find a real teacher to teach a class this important. They had to find someone who did not have any experience to teach and yet just maybe this was how the world really was. He clenched his hand and release it slowly. He was tempted to hurl a shadow ball at the man. He was tempted to show the class what it means to wield true power. But he held himself in check. He will not lose control of his anger today as he was doing good all day and he wanted to keep that up. Instead maybe he should ask the teacher a question and see if he could answer it. Yes that would have to do for now.

" Teacher do you know anything about Dark magic ?. Or what its now called shadow magic ?. I am really eager to learn about such magic and was wondering if maybe you could teach the class. I mean since you are not the regular teacher why not right ?. You get to show off your abilitys and maybe you can replaced this teacher in the end. " Sonneillon held back a laugh as he waited for the teacher to respond to him. This was not for the teacher to look good. No it was for himself to look good in front of his peers and what better way to do that then to have the teacher teach something you already know.

Sonneillon glanced at the other students before returning his attention towards the teacher. maybe this school will be interesting after all. He remember jack and wondered briefly if the man has class also or was just a worker in the cafeteria. He hoped he was a student himself.. The kid seem really nice and helpful. one could hope cant he ?.

Don't be naive enough to think you're unaffected
The conversion has already begun...

Severin blinked. Darn. A student was asking a question. Severin had hoped the two would be quiet so he could look over some of the other teacher's things. After all, this was a job given to him on short notice.

He just smiled at the student.

"I know some of it. However, the school counselor uses dark magic if you're really interested to know more about it. But we won't be getting to deep on dark magic in this class as the curriculum only requires to teach students the basics of the class." Severin answered.

And Severin wasn't one to show off in front of the class. Being a spotlight hog was troublesome and he wanted nothing to do with it. He preferred to just mind his own business. That way annoying people wouldn't come to him and ask questions. He was here to teach anyways, not show off in front of kids. It's not like he wanted to impress them anyways. There were more important people to impress. Severin sure hoped that he wouldn't be stuck as a teacher for this class though.

"We will be dealing with spell books first. It's a basic spell casting technique and can easily get extremely complicated. As I said before, we'll only be doing the basics of this so we won't be going too in depth." Severin answered as he started to take roll so he wouldn't waste class time doing it.

Veith glanced up at the sound of spell books. He was one that used a spell book and this guy was going about it all wrong. He didn't feel like waiting for the teacher to answer. Veith might as well correct this guy. He obviously didn't know what a spell book was. It was only natural since he didn't seem human to begin with.

"Spell books are tomes and we do not use them in the midst of battle. Most of the words are memorized but spell books act as a guide or a reference for the castor. As a human, I don't have magic in my blood so I gather my magical ability from spell books." Veith answered. "You're allowed to show off your little tricks only because magic is in your blood. All you need to do is wave a little hand and make magic appear, but for humans like me who don't have magic, we have to work harder than you. We have to learn a completely different language and memorize the correct words for spells just to cast magic. It's just the cruel hand of fate, for me, I suppose." Veith answered.

He glanced at the teacher. He was surprised to find that his English professor was also his spell casting professor. It was an odd thought.

"Professor Novaire, I think we've waited long enough. Let's get started with the class. People are getting impatient and want to do a show and tell."

Sonneillon listened to the classmate speak. What made this man so sure he was not completely human ?. People do not understand what it means to be a shadow human. On one hand they are cursed because of the shadows and what it does to people who can not control it completely. But on the other hand they are far better than humans because of what the shadows provide for those that follow its path. Humans are weaker than shadow humans but regardless they are both humans in a way. He looked at his fellow student and studied him. Magic trick eh.. This man had no idea how wrong he was about that.

" Magic did not always run in my book. In fact magic for the longest time did not run in my blood. I was not always like this and for the most part I use to be like you. i use to be a normal human until I followed a path that would make me what i am today. " He said in a dark tone as he got to his feet and walked towards the front of the class room. Once he got to the front of the class room he turned to face his fellow classmates. He was controlling the shadows around his body. But he did not know for how much longer he would be able to do so. That was the one part he did not want to show anyone yet.

" You say it was easy for me to learn magic. That is far from the truth.. I had to train all hours of the day to learn the basics of magic. I had to train ever harder to learn how to create a simple ball of energy. Yes hours to learn such a simple task. But once i finally mastered it.. I was able to do many things with my new found magic. " He then heard the teacher was about to start class and that he will go around the room asking everyone to share a little of themselves to the class. But now the rage had kicked in and he no longer cared about everyone else except the one student who spoke.

" Teacher i would like to show the class something. If you do not mind class i want you to look outside the classroom for second at that tree in the distance. This is what took me so long to master. Its called a shadow ball and it wont be found in any of your textbooks. This power comes from the shadows alone. Now look at the tree please." He clenched his hand and a shadow ball appeared in his hand. He turned towards the window and released it at the tree. He watched the shadow ball as it hit the tree. He then turned around and looked at the class.

" That is just a fraction of the power the shadows could give you. But since class has started and i pretty much introduced myself. I will be taking my seat " He slowly walked back to his seat and sat down and sat back in his seat as he waited to here from the rest of the class.

What a troublesome class. The only students in the class happened to seem to have a dislike for each other. One was a grouch and the other liked to show off his power. Great...

Well at least these two were competent with whatever magic they are doing. "Thank you for that... display." Severin said. He just asked them to talk about themselves, but there's not much they can do. Hopefully the headmistress doesn't get mad that a student of his destroyed a tree. Hopefully it didn't count as school property.

"But rather than destroying a tree, I think it would be best if you didn't. There's an underground training area in this classroom and there are some magic proof targets there that won't break when you hit them. Trees have spirits in them and you've probably killed one. Which the elven kind probably won't take very happily." Severin said to the student.

"I've never really heard of this shadow path that you've taken, but in this class, we'll be sticking with the traditional ways to use magic." Severin said. Not to mention the basics.

But what was more annoying than the presentation was the grouch Veith. He hardly said much about himself. It was a two second speech and he was done. Severin wanted to facepalm for being stuck with these two kids. But he just kept his pleasant smile on his face.

"Alright then. I suppose I will set up different lessons for the both of you to take." Severin said. "But I suggest you tone down the bickering, or I'll probably have to step in and force the both of you to behave. If you don't have anything nice to say, then... Shut up and don't say anything. But Severin didn't say that. He was frustrated with them, but he was doing the best he could to control his frustration. "...don't say anything at all. You won't learn much if you spend most of your time bickering."
