“They’re not coming lad” says the dwarf sadly “messenger just arrived; they’re holding at fall-back positions and digging in.”

“No” you say, shaking your head again, the fatigue making it feel like your head is wrapped in thick cloth “They wouldn’t-”

“They just did!” yells the dwarf “start the spell – we’ll hold ‘em for you!”

He lets go of you and runs towards the front line, just as the drow cavalry starts their charge, maybe this time it’ll be different, maybe this time you can-

You wake up with a start as someone shakes you. You open your eyes to see the elderly lightning rail conductor standing over you.

“Brand Town station lad” he says “your stop right?”

You look around; the short carriage is empty except for the two of you, seems this line doesn’t get much business in autumn.

“Right” you say, rubbing your eyes as the conductor heads down to the luggage rack and hefts your heavy trunk down for you.

“Visiting relatives?” the old man asks as you drag your heavy trunk out onto the platform.

“Here to find work” you reply as you look around the tiny lightning rail station; a single track and one platform; with a now-closed ticket office. Judging by the sinking sun, its currently early evening.

The conductor gives you a dubious look “tis all farms ‘round ‘ere lad” he says “and yer don’t look like a farm ‘and.”

No, in your well-cut travellers clothes, a skinny man with smooth hands, you probably don’t look like a farm hand.

“Teaching job” you say, pulling the note from your pocket “at uh, Egwen Girls Convent.”

The conductor looks a little worried “ah well, that’s out of town, up th’ hill” he says, pointing “an’ good luck lad” with that he gets back in the lightning rail carriage, closes the door, and then it pulls slowly out of the station, the row of carriages pulling past you.

Well, no time like the present. You cast a spell on your luggage to reduce it weightlessness, and then drag it behind you as you walk away from the town and up the indicated hill, towards some buildings in the distance.
---
As you walk up the long lane towards the school, you have plenty of times to admire the stately buildings. You regret not knowing much about architecture; it would probably tell you a lot about this place. Still, you can recognise that this place has been modified and changed over the years.

You walk past a sign proudly proclaiming this to be Egwen Girls Convent – under which some wit has added *and lunatic asylum* in red paint.

Ahead you see a collection of buildings, some of stone, some of wood, all of different sizes and shapes; rising out of the midst of the other buildings is an intimidating cathedral of stark stone.

As you proceed up the well-used track, with hedges and trees to either side you hear a rough voice bark out “That’s far enough lad, now reach ‘ands up an’ turn round .”

You hear the familiar creaking of a crossbow string stretched to its limit. You served alongside the dwarves long enough to know what sounds like.

Fourteen, if you count Sandersons, 11 if you don't

There’s no point in rustling any feathers, and you always do your best to get along with people anyway.

As instructed you raise your hands over your head and turn around. Standing behind you (where was he hiding?) is an old, grumpy-looking man in patched trousers and a long rain coat, holding a very-well maintained crossbow loaded with a steel bolt inscribed with symbols.

The man himself looks like he has seen better days: he has plenty of scars on his hands and face, and as he approaches, both his legs wobble.

“Who’re you?” asks the old man

“Sallazar” you say, your hands still in the air “Master Sarum asked me to come, offered me a teaching job.”

The old man looks you up and down, gives a harrumph! And then unloads his crossbow and points the empty weapon away from you before loosing the string and shouldering the weapon.

“Groundskeeper Master Sergeant (ret.) Ben Answick at yer service” he says, tugging a wispy forelock with his free hand “pleasure ter meetcha sir.”

“Likewise” you say “is it alright if I lower my hands now?”

“Yes, ah well, sorry” says Groundskeeper Master Sergeant (ret.) Ben Answick, as you lower your hands “Can’t be too careful, the local lads like ter come up round ‘ere an’ ‘ave fun, try and scare the girls an catch them in the altogether like.”

“Well” you say politely “It’s good that the girls have you to protect them.”

“Oh no” says the groundskeeper with a wide gap-toothed grin “I’m protecting the lads – the last time one of them got inter the girls showers he got a right hiding; couldn’t walk right fer weeks.”

“Oh” you say, a little nonplussed, exactly what sort of girls are you going to be teaching here?

“Anyways young Sir, if you would follow me” says the groundskeeper “an I’ll show yer t’ ‘Edmaster.”

“Lead on” you say, following the groundskeeper as he limps up towards the main building. With darkness falling around you, you don’t have much chance to see inside the windows of the smaller buildings you pass, and you don’t see anyone around other than the two of you.

The groundskeeper takes you away from the large double doors of the main building and knocks loudly on a side door, yelling “Boney, Boney are you awake?!”

Eventually the door opens to reveal...a skeleton, in a long cap and nightshirt.

“Right” says the groundskeeper “Boney take Mister Salzer here to the ‘edmaster would yer, ‘e’s expected.”

The skeleton turns to you, and then heads inside; with a mental shrug, you follow.

The skeleton leads you into the building, on a long winding journey and up a steep flight of stairs that has you panting for breath. Finally it stops in front of a large wooden door and knocks.

From inside a voice says “come in”

The skeleton opens the door and motions to you, you walk inside.

Inside is a large room with an ancient-looking wooden desk, a fireplace with a cheery, crackling fire in it, and a seating area with several old chairs in them. And books, books everywhere; on the desk, piled on the floor, on shelves around the room, even some stacked on some of the chairs.

An old man with long white hair and a white beard reaching past his waist pulls himself up out of one of the chairs “Ah you made it my boy, that’s wonderful” he says in a sonorous, deep voice.

He staggers forwards to meet you, clearly feeling his age “Sir Christoph Sarum” he says, shaking your hand “thank you for coming, I trust your journey went well?”

“No complaints” you say, holding his frail and papery hand in your own.

“Sit, sit” says the Headmaster “can I offer you a drink?”

“Coffee if there is any” you say, not wanting to appear uncouth you don’t ask for Soldiers Brew as the two of you are seated.

“Boney a pot of coffee and two cups” says the Headmaster “now, I imagine you are wondering why I offered you the job?”

Ok, writing

“Master Ganfir mentioned you sir” you say politely, refraining from mentioning *what* Ganfir told you about his old friend Sarum “I expect he recommended me.”

“Not Ganfir exactly” says Sir Sarum “but one of your old teachers yes. I was looking for a new teacher and asked around, your name came up.”

“I’m not exactly teacher material” you protest “I’ve never been a teacher, or even an assistant, I’ve been away from academia for years and-”

“I wanted a teacher who met a number of requirements” says Sir Sarum, cutting you off “you met all of those...the teaching skills I and the other members of the faculty here can, aha, teach you.”

“What requirements are those?” you ask suspiciously

“All in good time” says Sir Sarum “Now, humour an old man would you; why did you become a wizard? Why not leave the army once the war ended - why did you go to the wall?”

Reasons for becoming a wizard?

closing and counting

>>40837696
I would have voted for the second reason, the first one just sounds dumb.
It doesn't even make any sense in the context of our backstory.

ok, by my count *poor* and *friends* just won.

Writing this, but please do check my count

>>40837894
Worst combo
Even love one was better

>>40838005
Eh, not particularly happy about friends, but poor was the better of the choices we had.

>>40838024
It's why anyone who serves and is worth a damn sticks around.

>>40838024
It wasn't.

>>40838076
It was better than power or girlfriend, and nothing else was in the running.

>>40838070
Maybe I don't want us to be worth a damn, huh, did you think about that?

>>40838070
There are things known as duty and loyalty
They're kinda obscure but you could learn about them

>>40838070
I liked duty better, to be honest.
Though I can see the sentiment.

>>40838118
Why would it matter to him what you want?

>>40838109
You are wrong. Poor was the least attractive one. It lacks ambition and willpower, it's nothing more than desperation.

>>40838122
>There are things known as duty and loyalty
How does staying for your friends not fall under loyalty?

>>40838140
Your a silly guy, anon.

>>40838140
Power was literal garbage as a character trait in my eyes and Girlfriend just seemed weird and nonsensical, though the second reason was okay.

>>40838140

we're about to start teaching at a girl's school. An option having ambition is frankly a mark against it.

>>40838170
>Girlfriend just seemed weird and nonsensical
Undersexed youths have been known do a lot of weird and nonsensical things that they but literally no one else think will help them out with that.

>>40838140

>min/maxxing motivation

I have high hopes for this quest.

>>40838170
>Power was literal garbage as a character trait in my eyes
I could have seen it as some backstory character development, if we had chosen Power and Friends, that we learned better while actually studying magic.

Probably not what the power-voters intended though, so its probably for the better.

>>40838198
>Undersexed youths have been known do a lot of weird and nonsensical things
True enough, but considering we are just 23 right now, it seems unlikely to me we entered the school after childhood.

>>40838246
Yeah but we spent some time in the army, and it would have been even before that when even younger even dumber us decided becoming an army wizard was a great way to get laid.

>>40838285
>and it would have been even before that when even younger even dumber us decided becoming an army wizard
I think you confused the questions.
The first one asked us why we started studying magic to begin with, which would have been when we were very young, most likely in childhood.

>>40838198
How is it a mark against? He had ambition in the past, that does not mean he still has it.
And being ambitious is still good for teaching. An ambitious professor will want his students to be grade A material and help them learn better.

>>40838320
I'm more wondering about what makes you think wanting power is the only way to have ambition.
When wanting a better life can speak of just as much ambition.

>>40838310
No I got that, I guess I just have a different image in my head of "when does someone start studying magic"

The skeleton, Boney, returns with the coffee as you answer.

“I grew up poor” you say, as Sir Sarum pours for you both “it was either train as a wizard or live and work in the slums all my life, it wasn’t much of a choice.”

“I see” says Sir Sarum “and why did you stay on the Walls so long?”

“My friends” you answer, closing your eyes as you see their faces again, as if they’d never- no, no, don’t dwell on it. You force your eyes open and continue “many were dwarves, they went to the wall, and I stayed when the rest of the human armies left.”

“I’m sorry to open old wounds” says Sir Sarum with a concerned look, clearly aware that something is wrong.

You avoid the topic “You said you had requirements?”

“Ah yes” says Sir Sarum “what do you know about the Soulborn?”

“Not much” you say, wondering where this change of topic came from “not much more than the ordinary person I suppose: children of the Soulbound, possessed of some of their powers, sometimes with unstable results, supposedly with severe mental issues.”

“That last one isn’t correct” says Sir Sarum, taking a sip of his drink “though the rest is, simply put: This is a school for Soulborn.”

Oh

“Oh” you say, blinking, and wondering if its possible to catch up to the lightning rail if you run fast enough.

“But” says Sir Sarum, holding up a finger “they’re not what you’ve heard, they are young women with innate magical powers, no more and no less. The unstable monsters the news sheets talk about are a pure fabrication.”

“And yet they have a special school” you counter “with thick stone walls”

“I did specify they were young women” says Sir Sarum, with a yellow-toothed grin “with magical powers, why else would I hire an abjurer?”

“And the other qualifications?” you ask, giving him a distrustful look.

“Whilst you were at the guild you were involved in the Dungeoneering Club were you not?” asks Sir Sarum.

>>40838342
They way the option is worded.
>I was offered a chance at a better life, that’s all there is too it
He didn't pursue magic, it was given to him. Not to mention the dismissing tone.

“I was, yes” you wonder where he’s going with this “but it was just a few of us fooling around back then, and the Silver Blade Company only used the dungeons we built a few times, no matter what anyone says.”

“The Silver Blades praised your dungeons as excellent training tools” says Sir Sarum “soon a lot of free companies were building their own and eventually they made it into a competitive sport.”

“I didn’t know that” you say “On the Walls we didn’t get much news.”

“Oh, my boy” says Sir Sarum enthusiastically “it’s grown, oh how it’s grown, the last championship games attracted tens of thousands! And next year the first Selam-wide Junior Championship is going to take place!”

You have a bad feeling about where he’s going with this.

“Now, we have a number of girls” Sir Sarum picks up a piece of parchment with a list of names on it “who would do well in an adventurers club I think, and-”

“No” you say

“No?” he echoes “but I haven’t even told you about them yet.”

“No” you say “I’m not doing this, I’ll be a teacher, but not this.”

“Why?” asks Sir Sarum, looking at you intently.

“I’m done with war” you say “and violence.” Too many dead faces when you close your eyes...

“That’s a pity” says Sir Sarum sadly “These girls would really benefit from this, and really it’s just a game, I thought with your skills, your leadership-”

“I’m no leader” you say harshly “I never held rank.”

“But you were personal mage to the dwarven prince” objects Sir Sarum, leaning forwards “sure you must have-”

But you can’t hear him anymore. All you can recall is the face of your dead friend, and the words on leadership he told you “we lead not for power, but to show others the way.” He wanted you to be a leader; he believed you could do it.

“Alright” you whisper “I’ll do it.”

Sounds good.

I'm somewhat hyped and have full confidence in you, OP!

Also I think we'll get along with the headmaster just fine

Rather than question your change of heart, Sir Sarum hands you a slim volume titled *Egwen School Rules and History* with the parchment with the names folded inside the cover.

“Welcome to the school” he say kindly “you’ve had a long trip, do you want to get some rest? We can talk in the morning. Or if you’re feeling up to it, would you like to meet some of the girls?”

He hasn’t said anything about what you’ll be teaching, or where you’ll be hosting this *adventurers club*.

Yes.

The second one

FUCK YEAH! This look pretty fun so far pally!

“I want to talk about lesson plans” you say “and grades, I’ve never been a teacher before, how does it all work?”

“Here” says Sir Sarum, handing you a much thicker volume “The grading system, abridged.”

You flip through a few pages “this makes no sense” you complain “the amount of *credits* varies for different classes, there’s no consistency and here” you jab your finger at the page “girls can earn credits by doing *useful tasks for teachers*?! This is open to abuse - its utterly nonsensical and arbitrary!”

“Ah good” says Sir Sarum “good, not everyone grasps it that quickly, you’ll do well here.”

You give him a rather unhappy look “why does the grading system make no sense?”

“Because it doesn’t have to” says Sir Sarum “it was made deliberately complex to stop students exploiting it, and it was made more so when the Albia government inspected the school. I won’t have stupid government clerks telling me how to run my school!” he half-rises from his seat before sinking back down.

“Anyway” he continues “just remember – officially you’ll be teaching Arcane Theory and Basic Magic, leave the other topics to the rest of the staff. No girl is allowed more than 200 credits from each separate class topic alone; so no more than 200 all year from Arcane Theory, no more than 200 from History and Politics and so on. But the total from all a girls clubs can be up to 300 credits – use that to motivate them. As long as a girl has 500 or more credits at the end of the year, she completes the year. Now normally a girl can only gain 50 credits from a single club in a year – I’m removing that limit for the Adventuring Club, I think you understand why.”

“Indeed” you say, snapping the book shut, this old loon must want to win at any cost, and so is going to let you bribe the girls with academic success in order to recruit them.

“And the lesson plans?” you ask

“You’re a wizard” says Sir Sarum with a wink “you’ll manage.”

Right...

“Now” he says “it’s getting late, did you want to check out the club facilities?”

Outside the window night has fallen, and you’re feeling tired, you have the chance to do one more thing before going to bed.

Mimic-chan is waiting~

>>40838917
>See the club facilities

So, do I understand this right.
Each class can give a single girl up to 200 Credits?
And they can accumulate up to 300 for the clubs they participate in, but only 50 per club normally.
So normally they would have to go into 6 different clubs to get all possible club credits, except for Dungeoneering.

>>40838917
>Meet some of the girls (options in next post)

>>40838980
Correct

>>40838951
The "See the club facilities" is more likely about seeing what we already have, which makes sense to do, so we instantly know for each girl we meet what we have to work with and what we might need to adjust.

We got a whole club house? Fuck yeah!

“Let’s just see what we’ve got for club facilities” you say “I can meet the girls in the morning.”

“Good idea” says Sir Sarum “Follow me.”

He leads you out to one of the smaller buildings and illuminates it with a simple light spell. “There. It’s all yours.”

“It’s not much” you say, looking over the variety of equipment, suitable for all sorts of training; training dummies, wooden weapons and weights for warriors, some beginner-level books on magic for wizards, even holy books if anyone feels up to relying upon the fickle generosity of the gods. Even...

“Music?” you say, picking up some sort of stringed instrument “for what purpose?”

“Essential for bardic training” says the headmaster.

“Um, sir” you don’t know how to approach this topic “I have no idea how to teach someone to be a bard.”

“Not a problem my boy” says Sir Sarum happily “The school can afford to hire trainers for the club – Ben the groundskeeper used to be a soldier, he can teach the girls to fight.”

“You want me to hire a bard” you say flatly “to teach his skills to a group of young, impressionable teenage girls.”

There’s a pause.

“Maybe hire a female bard?” suggests Sir Sarum, shrugging.

[Clubhouse added to club pastebin]

You pinch the bridge of your nose “Ok, I’ll think about that in the morning, when do I start teaching?”

“The day after tomorrow” says Sir Sarum “Tomorrow you can just walk around and talk to everyone, just remember to be at morning assembly at a quarter to nine, to introduce yourself.”

“Right” You say, wondering how that will go.

Sir Sarum has Boney the skeleton show you to your room, and hands you a small silver bell that summons the skeleton servants that work here. Your trunk is already there and...huh, seems like someone has tried to open it – there’s scratches all around the lock, but you’re a master abjurer; beating your lock spells is no easy feat.

You place the books and notes you’ve been given on the bedside table and start to undress in the dim candle light.

Then you hear a giggle.

What do you do?

Have boney remove the intruder, after scolding her and penalizing her 5 credits for being in our room and attempting to break into our chest.

We can do that, right? Penalize credits arbitrarily? I figure if we can award them we can also remove them.

Since we've established ourselves as mr nice wizard, I don't think deducting credits before we've even introduced ourselves is something we should do.

Then again, we'll probably need to build some sort of facade to command respect...

Let's try and keep cool in any case.

>>40839554
>ince we've established ourselves as mr nice wizard
We haven't.
We have estalished we are a decent person, at best, more a polite person that was attached to his friends.
How we are as teacher, is completly open.
And considering we are used to the army for most of our life, we can easily be the very harsh but fair kind of teacher.

>>40839593
Well, we haven't been formally inducted yet either.
Anyway I'd take that as an opportunity to see what we're up against rather than dispense liberal amounts of punishment.

>>40839554
Nah
We established ourself as guy that gets flashback at though of creating dungeon and has willpower of wet straw

>>40839638
It can just as well be both.
First impressions are important and all that.

>>40839652
I'm sure you'll put effort into it to raise that at every opportunity and vote to have mental breakdown when situation warrants it.

>>40839692
Frankly I still like that guy better than the faggot whos already obsessing about his pre-chosen waifu.

“Who’s there?” you ask with your shirt off, but your pants still on.

Silence

“Reveal yourself or else” you threaten, as you look around the room for the source of the giggle. You catch sight of yourself in the small mirror atop the dresser on the other side of the room, except...your reflection has blue hair.

You wave one hand at the mirror, after a seconds delay, your reflection waves back.

“Nice illusion” you say sarcastically “but...woah!”

You take a step back as the mirror grows a grinning face “Thanks!” it says in a young feminine voice “but its not an illusion, I do shapechanging; I’m Chame, are you the new teacher?”

“Sallazar” you say, holding your shirt in front of you “what are you doing in my room?”

“I just wanted to meet you” says Chame “don’t mind me, pretend I’m not here.”

That one is probably some sort of defensive maneuvre to keep waifu off screen.
Noble gesture, but as OP already said, a wasted effort. There will be no waifuing for teacher so there is nothing to worry about.

>>40839715
>>40839715

If so deduct 25 credits

Otherwise just 5 and tell her to leave.

Obviously

This one, if she 'just' snuck into the room thats not too bad.
But if she tried to break into the luggage, then she gets punished.

You are one shit teacher.

So is this setting from some book or what?
>>40839715
>Deduct some credits 20
>Other (what?)
Throw her out of window
She's a shapeshifter she should survive this

>>40839838
Alright, I'll change it up. Deduct 25 if she admits, and 50 if she doesn't.

>>40839715
>Ask if she tried to break into your luggage
>Tell her to leave, and deduct 5 points if she tried to break into the luggage

There will be plenty of waifuing the other teachers.

Although I have already decided on the Groundskeeper as my husbando of choice.

>>40839858
that's the spirit!
except for the part where we don't know if she did it.

>punishing the mimic for doing mimic things
You guys are horrible.

Most of the *deduct credits* votes appear to be conditional upon her attempting to break into your luggage.

Meta: She didn't

Plus asking/telling her to leave.

So going with no loss of credits + pls go and stay go

But please feel free to check my count.

>>40839940
>pls go and stay go
;_;

>>40839940
Sounds fair enough.

Pretty clear to us that she didn't I think. She wouldn't have stayed in the room if she did.

>>40839959
I agree man
We should lock her form and give it to some other student

Locking her form with a spell and giving her to someone would be both a good lesson for mimic and student that dispels the lock

I though that this place is teaching students for more that one year
And if they can't do research this place sucks at teaching anything

Traumatize?
At most it will give her some nightmares and push her to study casting dispels without movement or sound

“Did you try to break into my luggage?” you ask Chame.

“I wouldn’t know how” she says “Amara did that, but your lock was apparently *really tricky* and she couldn’t get in, which is weird because Amara is really good with locks and-”

“Thank you” you say “now if you would please leave before I start deducting credits from you...” You’ll talk to Amara later...

Chame gives a frightened “eep!” and quickly transforms into a slightly chubby girl in a school uniform and flees your room.

You check around to ensure there are no other intruders and then you go to bed.

Before you go to sleep, you browse the list you’ve been given, as well as the book on the school itself.

[List of girls added to pastebin]

---
The next day you enjoy a hearty breakfast and meet some of your fellow teachers; there’s over thirty here and all are women, apart from you and the Headmaster. With all these new names and faces it will be a struggle learning all of them. One thing is very clear though: many are former students themselves – and are obviously Soulborn.

At a quarter to nine as requested you are at the school assembly, where all of the students attend to hear the morning messages

And then Headmaster Sarum calls you up to the stage. You stand next to him at the lectern and look out at a crowd of young girls, all staring at you curiously. Most are tieflings, but there are all sorts of strange girls you can see.

You realise you haven’t prepared any sort of speech or anything, damn.

What do you do?

Useful? What? You want to be boring and bland, that's it?

Sort and to the point it is by my count, but please do check.

>>40840444
>You want to be boring and bland, that's it?
No, I don't want to clown around for no purpose as first impression.

>>40840460
10/9, yes.

>>40840462
For no purpose? Positive first impressions are very important, no matter what the situation is. Impressing the students early on would make them more eager to study with the MC. Even if you didn't want to do a magic trick, there was "be friendly" for that.

>>40840534
>Positive first impressions are very important
Of course they are. We just disagree on what sort of first impression we find positive.

>>40840462
So what you're saying is you want to be boring and bland as the first impression.

>>40840553
What I'm saying is that I want to be respectable and to the point as a first impression.

>>40840593
So, to the student body, boring and bland.

>>40840609
If they feel that way. You don't get anywhere as teacher if you try to be hip and popular with the students.
A teacher like that might be easy to get along with, but you won't take him serious and don't learn well from him.

>>40840553
Better than being known as some clown
And being friendly to group of girls with that probably never seen battlefield with our social skills and experience is asking for being disliked

>>40840636
Your role models for teachers are terrible. Successful professors engage the students with more than "What is the answer to X?", they motivate the students and make them like the class. Being boring and strict is not going to motivate anyone to study harder.

>>40840660
>Better than being known as some clown
There were other options than using magic, you idiot.
The second line in your post makes no fucking sense.

>>40840553
Anon. Have you EVER in your entire life, sat in a assembly where some dude introduced himself, and thought to yourself "Gee, I sure hope he makes me sit her for much longer than I have to to make a good impression".

No you fucking haven't. You would hate that guy. No one gives a shit about the stuff you do or say here, they want you to get done with it.

Since this is your first time meeting everyone, you decide to stick to the basics.

“I’m Sallazar” you say “I’m a trained wizard; for the last seven years I’ve been serving on the Walls of the Northern Landbridge. I have just joined Egwen Girls Convent as a teacher. I look forward to getting to know all of you.”

You stop, and there’s an awkward pause, as if they expected more. Then dozen of hands go up, and the girls start asking questions.

“Do you have a girlfriend?”
“Are you part dwarf?”
“Chame says you have lots of scars, can we see them?”
“Is it true what they say about wizards staffs?”
“Will I get extra credits by being your personal assistant?”
“No, me, pick me!”

“Alright girls” says Headmaster Sarum “now off to class, plenty of time to pester Professor Sallazar later.”

With some disappointed groans, the assembly breaks up and the girls head off to class. You follow the Headmaster as he heads back to his study “Oh I forgot to mention to you last night” he says conversationally “a bit obvious I know, but there is to be no *fraternising* with the students or I’ll turn you into a skelet- yes Suzie?” this last is addressed to a young student who has approached you both.

She gives you a shy smile before saying to the Headmaster “Professor, Jan has locked herself in the toilets again.”

The Headmaster sighs “Thank you Suzie” he says “now off to class” as she scampers off, he says to you “Well I had intended to give you a short tour, but duty calls. Please use today as you wish; meet the staff or students, recruit for your club, or just explore.”

“Who is Jan?” you ask

“Janrael” says the Headmaster “has a few issues, I’ll handle this. We’ll talk later.” And with that he heads off.

What do you do? (please pick only 1)
>Follow him; maybe you can help him with this girl

Your job as teacher isn't to make the students like YOU.
Which is what this would have been about.

>>40840761
>Follow him; maybe you can help him with this girl

>>40840772
The two usually go hand in hand, to be fair. Being approachable is fairly important, and Friendly would've helped encourage that.

>>40840732
No, I would not hate him, I would't mind spending a little more time if he impressed me and made me like the lecture/speech/whatever.

>>40840804
No they don't. Respect is important. Not popularity.
And you don't get that by speaking friendly words, you get that by doing things.
Such as not wasting everyone time with your personal show.

>>40840761
>Follow him; maybe you can help him with this girl

>>40840767
>>40840772

>>40840761

Oh yeah, well, lets mee the worst case first.

>>40840714
I am saying that we spent most of our childhood learning magic and being in army
Unless these dwarves were all females I doubt we had much experience with socializing with fair sex
>>40840761
>Other (what?)
Find one that tried to steal our stuff
Take away 50 credits

>>40840852
>No one likes a class with a boring professor

Again, no one wants his life wasted by having to listen to some dude talk about himself.

>>40840846
>No they don't.
They have in my own experiences and in my knowledge of the experiences of others.

>Respect is important. Not popularity.
Yes, but it's not the only important thing for being a good teacher.

>Such as not wasting everyone time with your personal show.
Though some of the options would've taken quite a while longer, Friendly alone would've just set a tone to the speech. Unlikely to extend it by more than a minute or two, if at all.

>>40840899
That option only had one or two votes.

>>40840974
>Friendly alone would've just set a tone to the speech.
If this were true it would not have been mutually exclusive with short and concise.

>>40840974
>They have in my own experiences and in my knowledge of the experiences of others.
Not in my experience and the experience of people I know. Guess we just have to disagree.

>>40840761
>>Go recruit some girls (options in next vote)
And no, we don't recruit the girl with issues.

>>40841091
We will definitly recruit the girl with issues.

>>40841091
All of them have issues.

Every single one.

Writing go with him

>>40840899
No one wants to have class with a boring, unimpressive professor. This is sabotaging ourselves, the recruitment will be hard as fuck, I'm telling you.

>>40841091
Then you can't recruit any of them.

Admittely she might be the worst case though, insofar that its the hardest to deal with.

>>40841122
No professor impresses anyone as authority figure to learn from by being verbally friendly.
You do that by acting in a fashion that makes students trust you and respect your ability to teach.
Trying to be their buddy doesn't help. No one respects those guys and learns shit from them.

>>40841176
I think the problem is that friendly in this context doesn't bear the same meaning to everyone.

>>40841133
I consider at least three, maybe four girls to be worse cases than her, and we'll probably want to recruit at least one of those.

Before even accounting the fact that we will be recruiting for a HIGHLY followed spot?

From what we know, won't the major difficulty be in recruiting people serious about learning and competing, not just people wanting to get in our pants/ desperate for attention!

>>40841249

>>40841215
>I consider at least three, maybe four girls to be worse cases than her
I imagine the Gem girl might have bigger issues, though I think those are easier to deal with.
Tisania has some bad issues, true, but again, easier to deal with IMO.
I can't really think of anyone who would be a worse case, except maybe Lucinda since we don't really know what her issue is.

>>40841298
Gem girl?

>>40841339
Safire.
To show what I mean, the entries for her special powers have all this little line:
>increasing her value to unscrupulous mages

You follow along “Janrael” you say “That’s the girl on the list you gave me, right?”

“Yes” says the Headmaster as you follow him through the corridors, “But if she’s locking herself away this early in a morning, she’s feeling pretty down, it might not be the best time to try and recruit her.”

“At least I can get to meet her” you say “find out a little about her.”

“I suppose” says the Headmaster as you both reach your destination – the girls toilets. Sir Sarum casts a spell you recognise: a Circle of Protection against Evil (for an angel, why?) and then knocks on the door “Janrael” he says gently “It’s the Headmaster, and the new teacher, can we come in?”

You can tell when Sir Sarum casts the spell that he’s a skilled wizard, but not an abjurer.

There’s a long pause, and then a voice says hoarsely “come in, I guess.”

Headmaster Sarum takes a key and unlocks the door and you both enter. The girls toilets are divided into cubicles. On one of the toilets is a young angel, her face red and the clear lines of tears having run down her face.

Janrael has pale white skin and long metallic gold hair. She’s hunched over, but when standing she’d probably be much taller than you.

Headmaster Sarum approaches and puts a hand on her shoulder, she relaxes a little as he gets close to her, as soon as his circle of protection covers her in fact.

“How’re you feeling?” he asks gently

“Better” she says in a voice that somehow manages to sound raspy from crying, and beautiful and musical.

“Do you want to take some time out of classes?” he asks in that same gentle tone.

“No” she says, shaking her head “I can manage, it’s just, all at once it was...”

“I know” he says, patting her on the shoulder “I know.”

To you he says “This is Janrael, one of our students, Janrael, this is Sallazar, our newest teacher.”

Janrael gives you a weak smile “Hi” is all she says.

The Headmaster continues “Janrael is quite badly affected by ambient magic, specifically that of the lower planes which gives of an emotional resonance that many describe as-”

“Evil” says Janrael hollowly “I sense evil, and with most of the girls being tieflings, I just can’t stand to be around them, its like filth on my skin, I can never get clean, even with your spell sir.”

“Now Janrael” says the Headmaster kindly “we’ve talked about this.”

“I know” she says, rolling her eyes “evil heritages are not evil actions Sir, I know but it still *feels* wrong.”

“Well then” says the Headmaster brightly “If you’re feeling up to classes...”

Janrael stands up and goes over to the sink, and splashes some water on her face.

[Knowledge check: Your Circle of Protection spells will likely be far more potent, and might give her some relief from what she’s sensing; option added]

writing circle + offer to teach

Boring teacher MC route is in effect and it sucks, DM agreed. Not as bad as one of the alternatives, though.

>This is some start...
>It keeps being some start...
<Pally> you mean the Bland Wizard?
>Yep
<Pally> so far its either this or formlock mimic girl for giggles
<Pally> so I'll take bland
>Hype levels decreasing
<Pally> hopefully they'll go up when you talk to more girls
<Pally> so far anon wants to play perfect teacher
>but they don't know what perfect is
<Pally> oh so true
>I can't say I know, there is no such thing as perfection...but it sure as hell isn't being boring.
<Pally> yup
<Pally> >everyone rushes for angel girl
<Pally> just as planned
>Boo
<Pally> trust me, this recruitment is hardmode right now
>Can I quote this in the thread?
<Pally> not right yet, afterward the recruit attempt yes

And we totally can't recruit her anymore. In this thread, at least.

>Boring teacher MC route is in effect and it sucks, DM agreed.
Except he says the exact opposite in that?

>>40841792
I don't get it
We are voting to teach the angel girl
Like a fucking teacher should

>>40841792
Maybe if we go more boring we can make you leave. Wouldn't that be a dream.

Also
>And we totally can't recruit her anymore. In this thread, at least.
Is this supposed to surprise anyone? She is easily among the hardest recruitments by nature.

>>40841792
I'm gonna let you in on something, anon.

If you had read the pastebin before Pally removed it today you would already know how hard Janrael will be to recruit.

>>40841792
There are plenty of other girls to recruit. We are purely here to lead and be a good teacher.

This child obviously have some psychological issues so we will do nothing but help her

If an ordinary Circle of Protection provides some relief, then maybe one of yours will offer full protection? Or maybe not, there’s only one way to find out.

As Janrael is cleaning up, you cast your own spell quietly. Headmaster Sarum gives you a raised eyebrow, then you recall that to cast this one another person, you need to touch them.

You tap Janrael lightly on the shoulder and release your spell.

Janrael jerks upright as if you just electrocuted her and spins around.

“What did you do?” She gasps.

“Uhh” you say, you’re sure the spell worked normally.

“I can hardly feel any evil” marvels Janrael, no longer looking at you “just tiny whispers of it.” She gazes around in wonder.

“I can teach you the spell” you say “if you want to learn it.”

“Yes, yes!” she says excitedly, grabbing you in a hug before you can react, and squeezing the breath out of you as your feet leave the floor.

“Go to class young lady” says Headmaster Sarum in a mock-scolding voice.

Janrael releases you and you half collapse, wheezing.

“Thank you Professor Sally” she gushes, and then heads out, under the Headmasters watchful gaze.

“My...name...isn’t....Sally” you gasp out, but she’s already gone.

“Well done” says the Headmaster, patting you on the back “I think you made a friend there.”

You can only cough and wheeze as you both leave the girls restroom.

“Now” says the Headmaster “about that tour?”

You’re not really feeling up to a lot of walking right now; your ribs feel kind of tender.

What is your next action?
>Fine, lets go on a tour
>Go meet the staff
>Go recruit some girls (options in next vote)
>Go talk to the groundskeeper about how he can help you
>Just wander around (random encounters!)
>Other (what?)

I want to start teaching a class, far better way to meet students naturally.

I was talking about the part of it allegedly "sucking".

>>40841862
I think his point is that Pally perceives the MC as a boring teacher.

>>40841975
Considering we haven't acted as teacher until this update sofar, that seems like a dubious claim to me.
Especially since we haven't taught any classes yet.

>>40841996
Teacher/Wizard. And it can be argued that the speech was a part of being a teacher and of establishing character as one.

>>40842028
>And it can be argued that the speech was a part of being a teacher
You can argue a lot of things, in this case you would make yourself look stupid trying to do so.

The 1 copper piece tour it is

“I think a tour sounds great” you say with a grimace.

“Swings your arms” suggests the Headmaster “loosen those muscles a little.”

“How do you avoid getting hurt around some of these girls?” you ask.

“Undervest of Armour” says Sir Sarum serenely “never leave my room without it.”
---
You tour the building, and most of the grounds, with the Headmaster pointing out interesting features, talking about the history of the place and advising you of amusing anecdotes.

You also take note of a few places on the tour.

The alchemy labs are fully stocked and even have places for summoning circles, if you could use those to train wizards and sorcerers it would be easier.

The old chapels from days gone by still have lingering divine magic; if re-consecrated they could be used to train clerics and paladins more easily.

And on the edges of the grounds, deep in the forest is an old druids grove; like the chapel, with a little work it could be very useful,

You don’t spot any other locations of note and no other student assaults you, or calls you Sally.

Finally the Headmaster says “Well that’s everything, if there’s anything else you need, just ring your bell” and then he leaves you to your own devices. It’s mid-morning.

Next task?
