"Exactly." Olivia gives Felicia a sharp nod. "Let's get into the details about Aristotle's rhetorical system and how to use it..." The class, for today at least, is mostly review for Felicia, barely requiring any new notes or memorization. ----- "You will all be required to perform at least four speeches of differing types and goals this semester. The first of these, an informative presentation, will be in a couple of weeks. Start thinking about what you want your subject to be." Olivia advises. "Dismissed."
[It's fine. I didn't give you much to work with.] Angelica is the first student who enters the room. "Hello, Miss Meri." Her somewhat ill-fitting uniform struggles to contain her bust. She sits in the front row, far more awake than the last time Julia saw her a few hours ago. "Can you...get me in touch with Doctor Kelsey? I forgot to ask earlier this morning." She rubs the back of her neck plaintively. A button threatens to fly from her top due to the strain.
Felicia was idly listening to the class, How are any of these supposed to help you duel... I mean, I know professor Itou said they're also preparing those that won't make it... but... haah. She lets out a small sigh, though she understood what they meant, she was still a bit disappointed due to her thinking a Duel Academy would be focused on duels. During class, she looks toward Mia and Adam wondering what their reactions might be. But as the class finished, Urgh, we even have those, huh. She grumbled to herself, though she does start thinking about what she'll be basing her speech out of. Felicia heads to her next class, giving her professor a thanks for her class, then bidding her good bye as she heads to her next lesson.
You did not need me. You know how to duel. When it comes to thinking, however... The mage trails off. The girl is not likely to intentionally harm anyone. She has remarkable self-control. You could stand to learn from her. Phoebe finally notices Adam. "Hello Adam. Saved you a spot next to Haunani, here." Grinning, she pats the desk beside the white-haired girl.
Yeah, well... Touche. Adam chuckles internally, not really able to counter the charge. "Oh? And why would you do that, I wonder?" He plays innocent. "After all, I did beat her. I wouldn't want her to feel...sore."
Mia and Alex mostly pay attention to the lecture, though Alex tends to daydream. "Only two weeks..." Mia mutters, already dreading the prospect of giving a speech. ----- Arriving to the next class, Anatomy and Physiology, fifteen minutes early, Felicia finds the room deserted aside from the professor--a handsome man adjusting his tie. Spoiler: Professor "Someone likes to make sure they're on time. Call me Giovanni, please." The man smiles as he tightens the tie. "You're here for Anatomy, yeah?"
"I definitely can. And I'll also make sure she can get you a uniform that fits you." Julia didn't really it as too big an issue exactly, but she was doubtful Angelica was really looking for that kind of attention right now. Pulling up her phone, she still only had Sayen's work contact info to use, but she sent an email relaying the message, and wrote down the office number for Angelica. "Set things up for when feels right for you. You can also talk to me about anything you need too."
Phoebe laughs. "Haunani here told me about how well you got it on--got on, sorry--" The professor grins. "so I figure that I need to keep an intimate watch on you two." Adam hasn't seen Haunani look anywhere close to this embarrassed before now.
"Don't worry, you can handle it." Felicia gives Mia a smile, before splitting up. Arriving a bit early, she finds the classroom empty save for an attractive man, "Oh, uh, yeah, I'm here for Anatomy. I take it you're the professor... Giovanni?" The red-head asked in a polite manner, "I'm Felicia Matthews, though I suppose you already knew that from the class list." She introduces herself with a smile.
"Oh, I am used to clothes which don't fit me properly." She stares off blankly before coming back to herself. "Thank you." Angelica finds her phone and presumably sends a message to Sayen. "Professor, have you--" She's cut off by Haunani entering the room. The white-haired girl bows politely but stiffly. "Good morning." She also sits in the front row, leaving a chair between herself and Angelica.
He nods. "That I am, Felicia. The list of students doesn't give me pictures, sadly. It would be hard to miss yours." Giovanni smiles brightly. Spoiler: Perception Roll 61+20(Perceptive)=81 success Rather than an attempt to insult Felicia's appearance due to her scars, she gets the impression that the professor's trying to flirt with her.
"Did she now?" Adam raises an eyebrow at Huanani. "How indiscreet." He grins at Phoebe, before taking the seat next to Huanani. "It's true - the two of us became pretty fast friends after our duel. Surprisingly, we have a lot in common. In fact, we're such good friends that you might have to keep an eye on me to ensure I don't distract her during class - I admit I'm not very good at reigning in my impulses. If I get the urge to...talk...to my friend, I might just do it, no matter what the setting."
"She witnessed us." Haunani huffs. "I told her nothing." "No, you were very vocal, sweetie." Phoebe grins before turning to Adam. "I don't know...It's pretty hard to pay attention to these two corner seats while I'm up at the podium talking away." She winks. "Just don't be too loud. Oh, and I want to talk to you both after class if you got the time." Shaking her hips for the pair's benefit, the professor saunters in front of the blackboard, waiting for the clock to roll over so she can start class.
"Ah, I suppose that's true." Felicia replies to the part about pictures, though with how fancy the academy was with everything else, she wondered if they cheaped out on that part. But as she realize that Giovanni was trying to flirt, the red-head's eyes go wide. "O-oh, uh, right, I mean, how many students have scars over their eyes, right." She stuttered a bit, turning cheeks flushing a little bit. Though she's also shocked that a professor was openly flirting with a student, "Sorry, you must still be preparing, I'll go find a seat so you can finish up." Felicia tries to escape, but the fact that they're all alone in the classroom hasn't changed how awkward she felt.
"I wouldn't miss it, professeure." Adam smirks, eyeing the teacher up in her tight pants as she shows off. "Sorry - I should have closed the chapel door. In my defence, I only went inside because I was afraid you'd had a heart attack, and afterwards you seemed pretty insistent that we get to business right away." He chuckles, preparing his notebook for class. "How have you been, priestess?"
"That's not what I meant. If anything, they make you look fierce. Strong. Brave. They suit you." He tries to salvage what he thinks is a misunderstanding, though he doesn't pursue Felicia as she goes to sit.
"Morning, Miss Ren." While she wanted to her what Angelica was going to say, it seemed like it would have to wait as class began. Julia couldn't really think of much to say to Haunani yet. She wasn't doing anything that was obviously threatening, but she was still difficult to access.
"It is not your fault, sorcerer. I was careless. We are lucky she is the one who discovered us." Haunani picks up a pen as Phoebe introduces herself to the class. "I have been well. It took most of a day to recover fully from you." She says neutrally.
"Oh, uh, thanks." Felicia replied, Is he really hitting on me? She thinks to herself, now a lot more conscious of sexual stuff, thanks to what happened yesterday... and last night with Carley. Though thanks to her prudish nature, she still makes a hasty escape as she sits down all the way at the back. Giving Giovanni a shaky smile to prevent making it seem like she's avoiding him.
Michio sprints into the room as the clock turns to 11:00 AM. "Not late!" She manages, short of breath. She takes the first open seat she sees, one of the ones in the back of the half-full class. She waves. "Hey, Professor."
