We made it to lesson early and I happily sandwiched myself between Horati and Silver just as Professor Peach arrived. The small, plump lady wrote her name in large cursive handwriting on the middle of the board as she could not reach the top and spun around, her eyes scanning the class. Seeming pleased with the turn out her previously stern face softened slightly. "Many of you would undoubtedly prefer to be fighting right now but let me tell you, even the greatest huntsmen need a basic grasp of science. Without it we would not have the understanding we currently do about semblances, how they are passed down and where in the body they come from. We will also learn the science of dust and how combining it can create new, more powerful effects. These combinations can be then used in fights and even in the upcoming Vytal festival that you will informed about soon enough."
A few people around the room already seemed like they were nodding off which I couldn't understand! What could be better than learning how to improve our fighting styles with science? I pulled out my notebook and pen and as the Professor began going over the basics I jotted down every word.
"Horati how do you spell glyphs?" I whispered and got no answer. "Horati?" looking to my side I saw that he was watching a newtons cradle which sparked with fire dust every time the marbles were hit. On my other side Silver seemed to also be occupied with watching the little marbles hitting each other and to my horror they hadn't written down anything!
"It's G-L-Y-P-H-S." Noir muttered in reply from Silvers other side and I sighed slightly happier now that I knew someone in the team was listening. I was considering copying my notes up for the boys when Professor Peach crossed the room far too quickly for someone so short.
"Mr Diamond, Mr Cloud." She shouted in front of me but at the boys. They both jumped up in their seats, backs straight and trying to look inconspicuous. "Yes Ma'am." They spoke in unison and I could tell that Noir was, like me, supressing laughter.
"What am I currently covering? Which family's hereditary semblance?" They were completely stumped by the looks of it so I circled the page where I had written Glyphs in different ways trying to find the spelling and slid it over quietly to Horati. He didn't have time to look down at it as Noir must have somehow told Silver who then answered first. "Those girls won't always be there to help you boys." She spun on her small heel and tottered back towards her desk. "Whilst everyone else goes on a trip to Forever Fall next week," She pinched one of the marbles between her fingers so it stopped clicking. "Team HRSN over here will stay to write up the possible uses of Red Sap that is found there. I would like you all to listen especially carefully now as I will explain why we need this sap."
We all groaned in opposition but I kept hitting Horati and Silver's arms when they seemed to get distracted. The lesson dragged on forever but we found out that every in our year, except now for us, was going to Forever fall next week to collect the sap. We could use it for healing as an antiseptic and we were going to use the collected sap and watch how it gets affected when combined with types of dust and perhaps even if we use certain semblances with it.
As a Team we would be finding other experiments we could do with it and would be required to come up with at least 5 more experiment before they return.
By the end of the lesson I looked down to see that I has finished drawing a picture of Horati's Gauntlet, this time from memory but there was a part of the mechanism I couldn't quite remember, it was all blurry in my memory. I considered using some part of my semblance to see if I could jog my memory as the Professor walked out of the room and Horati slammed his hand on the table quite dramatically addressing the team.
"Team Horison! Our first quest has begun! Operation decorate room begins now!" he shouted and Noir looked quite upset "But what about lunch?" she moaned but was ignored as Horati and Silver had already run out of the classroom and down the hallway. I held my Hand out to Noir and tucked my equipment into my belt. "We can grab a sandwich on the way out don't worry." I reassured her and we followed the boys.
The cafeteria was pretty full but we managed to quickly sneak out with some food since I was small enough to be ignored, before taking the many stairs up to our room. We fell into the room as the boys had heard us coming and opened the door just as I leant on it to catch my breath, holding my food up so It wouldn't get squashed and rolling onto my back. "We brought food." I said breathlessly and just let the plate lay on my chest, tipped up so I could grab grapes from the side as I got my breath back.
Silver had sat down on his bed, having dragged his suitcase from beneath his bed, and was sat going through his things whilst Horati just looked at me laughing as I struggled to grab the last grape. Noir unfortunately grabbed it so I stood up sulking.
"Hurry up guys we gotta unpack!"
I'm back finally! No Greek this time so no translations, hopefully we can meet the villain soon now wouldn't that be lovely? As always I'd love to hear your thoughts so review and i'll give you cookies! (::) -Tchüss
