Chapter 232: Syllabus
By way of introduction, Kir said almost nothing about himself. But he did manage to fill five minutes talking about the course he would have taught if more students had signed up.
"Now, if all of you will be patient, my first policy is to go over the schedule for the semester." He picked up the stack of papers he’d brought with him. "Miss Lihros... or do you prefer Keiya?"
"Keiya is fine," the elf replied.
"Please hand these out for me. Just take one and pass it back. There should be one for everyone." Kir was giving up his copy for Encke, but he didn’t really need it. It was rather simple, actually.
"First and foremost, know that, depending on what we discover together, the syllabus might change. Tomorrow, I will begin formulating hypotheses on each of your unique circumstances. Afterward, I will discuss with each of you the potential factors of those circumstances and we will determine a methodology for research. Then afterward I will have each of you write up your own experiment proposals to submit to the Chancellor."
Keiya and Daisy’s eyes widened. The rest of the class just looked confused or, in the case of Bailey, hostile.
Daisy raised a hand. "Yes, Miss Recca?"
"Magic research proposals are fifth-year stuff."
"Rest assured I am working closely with the Chancellor on your behalves."
"But if it gets put into a book, who gets the royalties?" Daisy continued.
"I will bring it up with her. But I see no reason why each of you cannot receive a portion should the results be published."
