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?

no subject
I... you think so? Azimov back at QUILL always said I did, but... it's different hearing someone else say that.
But... I know I have a long way to go. After the first time my powers woke up, it's been harder to get them to do what I want them to. And I can't just keep relying on my enchanted equipment to cover that weakness forever.
no subject
Sounds like your abilities are growing... could I take a look at the equipment you use? So I can get an understanding of how they interact with your abilities.
no subject
[Fortunately, he still had the major one with him. His Dart Leader pistol, which he removed, holster and all, and placed on the professor's desk. Of course, there's an odd looking plug where the weapon's hammer would be as well.
The weapon is inert when not in Gunvolt's hands; it needs electricity to function, but Ky's own magic would be enough to make it work too.]
It's a customized weapon that fires metal darts that are highly conductive. It makes it much easier to snap my lightning to those targets if I hit them with this first.
no subject
So kind of like...
[He pauses, fishing for the word and then deciding it's not important right now. Pointing the business at a clear wall just in case, he channels some of his own magic out into it, just a small amount to see how the device grabs and channels it]
Anyways. So they are guidelines, accuracy is an issue with this kind of magic. So I think that will be our first focus, to improve your aim so you don't need guides.
no subject
That's something I definitely need. I've been trying on my own for months to take control of it, but... I dunno. It's like trying to grab and throw a handful of sand?
no subject
[he dissipates the magic, the Dart Leader powering down, reaching back for his schedule book]
What times would you be available for lessons?
no subject
[And really, any time he was out of his dorm room, the better for him.]
