Looking as beautiful as ever with her bronze skin almost glistening, and dressed in a shape-flattering gown with high-heeled shoes to match, was Professor Cynthia Kragsten who talked animatedly about the topic of the day; Mage Formations and how to work in a Team.
According to Cynthia, she had observed in their class last week that the majority didn’t know yet how to act in sync. She acknowledged that this was normal since most, if not all, of them were meeting and cooperating for the first time but decided to teach them how to further the battle chemistry she wanted them to develop.
There were various codes of formations that were largely accepted as official in the Acheron Empire with each formation detailing well enough how each individual within a team was to operate so they could synergize well together.
Kaya was taking notes feverishly. Eloise looked mostly uninterested. Caius was in the middle which referred to his physical position (he was sitting between the two girls) and his attitude to the class. He just didn’t see himself caring all that much about codes but he did pay attention. It’s hard not to when Cynthia was speaking. Her voice was just so pleasant to hear.
And then she smiled at him.
Ordinarily, Caius would have been glad for the attention and he was a bit, but he also could tell she wanted something.
"How about an exercise to put this lesson in Teamwork to the test? Two teams each composed of three students. Competing in a drill you are all fairly familiar with."
