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?

Questions
Did you ACTUALLY spend a lot of time fighting a secretive order of assassins?
[She's played Assassin's Creed, and that's basically her only exposure to the Knights Templar. She gave a helpless shrug as her classmates laughed at her.]
What? He said we could ask him stuff.
no subject
The order you're referring, while they had been a terror to the Crusaders, and the Muslim forces, they were wiped out when I would've been... a year old. Though it didn't stop the rumors in Acre.
no subject
[Ubisoft why have you lied to her?]
no subject
[He might be a bit biased there]
no subject
Can I ask one more question?
no subject
[Now he wants to know what kind of question this will be]
no subject
What's the best thing about the present? Or...the future? I guess?
What's the best thing about the 21st century?
no subject
Information. Or rather - how easy it is to find stories, answers to questions... books were rare when I was growing up, it had to be all done by hand. My own family only had about three books, and they were our most valuable possessions.
Being able to easily find the answers to questions you might have and to get details on things you only heard of in passing is an amazing thing.
no subject
[She would have guessed cars or video games or something. Unless she actually gave the question more than a few seconds thought.]
no subject
[Guess who stayed up until the crack of dawn upon being taught how to use it - it's this guy]
