Heaven or Hell, Let's Rock the Mythril Cage!
Who: Ky, any faculty and students
Where: Classroom, Mythril Cage, etc
What: It's class time.
Date: Early February
The Questions prompt
[Whether he's clad in armor standing in the cage, or leaning against the desk in his language classes, he knew with new students and rumors, he'll have to knock a few things out of the way - and to keep the older ones from messing with the newbies.]
You might have heard, but yes - I was a member of the true Knights Templar, and yes the order was destroyed in the early 14th century - and I was born in 1276. It's a long story, but I've been in... what I believe is called 'suspended animation' until recently. I know that I am not going to get you to focus until your curiosity is satiated, so ask away.
Elemental Battle
[They were warned to dress appropriately for the weather, by the time the students arrive in the Mythril Cage, they will be greeted by a man dressed in full armor, who raised his sword to the heavens, before he suddenly unreleased a bolt of lightning from the tip of his blade and right up into the clouds to immediately get their attention. Soon he unhelms himself, shaking off his now shoulder blade-length hair]
Now that I got your attention. Welcome to the Combat Elemental Magic class new and returning students. I am Ky Alard de Kiske, and I will be be your instructor. I am a specialist in lightning magic, so if you need help with that particular area, I can offer extra lessons.
On that note - it doesn't matter if you obtain your abilities from the flames of a candle, a higher - or lower being, from a mage's lineage, or enchanted gear, the elements themselves have consistent properties, and their effectiveness will always be influenced by the environment you find yourselves in. Knowing how best to apply the properties of your particular element, and how to encounter an enemy's is the difference between living and dying.
Before I let you practice - here is a small quiz, for everyone, so my veteran students didn't forget anything during break and the new ones to be on the same page:
How many elements of magic can you named? And true or false: does water magic always defeat fire magic? This is not for a grade, but to assess your knowledge.
Fight-! Kinda?
[Once the quizzing and basic lecture on safety was finished, several enchanted dummies, wreathed in elemental magic: fire, ice, lightning, darkness, wind, etc. And the students are allowed to fling their magic at the dummies, with Ky assessing their technique and stepping in if some gets too wild or to offer suggestions.]
Office is open
[When he isn't busy, his office is open to visitors, it's relatively simple, the only things that would mark it as any different from a typical teacher's office is the suit of armor and weapons press up against the far wall, a huge stack of french encyclopedias on the side of his desk, and a china hutch full of tea cups in a wide variety of shapes and patterns.
Whether it's a student taking up his offer for magic lessons, faculty looking to coordinate, or someone just wanting to chat - he will accept all visitors with a smile]
Wild Card?

Wild Card?
[Hit me up on
no subject
What... what?
[He holds a hand up, before shaking his head]
Non, no - nothing like that. I am human. It was a spell that put me into basically a long sleep - hibernation.
no subject
But if you're human, how could you hibernate for like a thousand years and not die of starvation!? Why would someone use a sleeping spell; what good does it do them for you to wake up so many years later when they're probably dead!?
no subject
[Because he had discovered Barbarossa was too obscure a reference]
And I put the spell on myself. I have my reasons for it.
no subject
What reasons? Weren't you scared of never waking up!? Or that the future would so horrible beyond imagination that you would be better off dead!?
no subject
It's nothing like that, I can assure you. I had a mission that required me to take such drastic measures, and I had faith that I would be awaken when I am needed.
no subject
no subject
It's nothing like that,
[Lord help him, he is bad at reassuring people who aren't professional soldiers]
but - Nightfall is - [don't say probably, that will make it worse] - the reason, and no matter how dire it seems like, it can be overcome.
no subject
I knew it! It's not at ALL likely to be overcome if you WOKE UP AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS JUST TO BE HERE FOR IT!!!
[He's gotten up from his desk at this point and is starting to hyperventilate. He's never going to any class again ever. They're all about preparing for the very slim possibility students may live through a horrible monster war.]
no subject
Rikugou - follow my instructions: close your mouth, and cover one nostril, and breathe slowly through the open one.
no subject
[It takes him a second to register the words, because it was a deviation from the Nightfall discussion. He attempts to do as directed, but it's not helping much. The realization this is happening in the middle of a class is increasing his panic... and he's now imagining the other students being attacked on campus by Outlands monsters and lycanthropes and vampires and daemons and they're all dying and being eaten and shredded and ripped apart and there's blood everywhere... The edges of his vision darken and he leans against his desk for a moment before losing consciousness entirely.]
Calling Dr. Bones
Damn... Everyone. stay in your seats.
[Carefully he picks up Toki to lay him out before calling for Ekkehardt with a voice to text program]
Gehring, one of my students just blacked out. Come immediately.
no subject
Which student.
And why
[ It's not strictly necessary information, but it helps if he knows what the general shape of the problem is going to be. ]
no subject
[He'll be checking the kid's pulse]
no subject
Yes that seems to be his reaction to stress
I'll be right there
[ And true to his word, he shows up promptly. He checks Toki's pulse again just to see if there's anything erratic, then checks for injuries. ]
Well, he hasn't hurt himself in passing out, at least. Would you like me to take him to the infirmary?
no subject
[He breathes out]
He's just a child and yet -
[To be traumatized to that point, his expression darkens at the thought]
no subject
[ He lifts Toki with little trouble, careful to support his head. He gives Ky a little nod. ]
I'll see you later, Mr Kiske.
[ And off he goes. ]
