CLASS TIME!

[rukhacademy]

[Welcome to class with Myers! It's easy to feel intimidated by her, and if you aren't intimidated by her, the sound of her whip cracking will probably send a chill up your spine.]

Just because you're new doesn't mean I'll go easy on you! Drop and give me fifty push ups, and I don't want to see any bent knees, you hear me? You don't want to be a sixth level kodor forever, do you? Because I'll make you pass the iktiyar if you like it or not!

[She walks around more, cracking her whip again. Maybe she almost whipped your character.] Don't you dare even think about being absent tomorrow!

[Latvia couldn't help but let out shrill squeak at the whip. This seemed more like abuse than education, weren't there rules against using physical punishment? Either way, he didn't feel like he was in any shape to give that many push-ups]

U-um... Can I be excused? My arm's still healing and I don't want to agitate it.

[He pulled up his sleeve, hoping to show the light scar that had formed there. Of course it had been completely healed upon arrival with only a light mark as proof of its existence but even that should have faded quickly for him. All in all it was just a convenient excuse]

[rukhacademy]

Let me see that. [She looks at it, adjusting her glasses. It's hard to read what she's thinking, but she doesn't look happy.] If that one arm hurts, I suggest you do one armed push ups instead!

[balzams]

[That's really not an improvement at all. Maybe it would be better to just go with what he was offered first but he feels like he's annoyed her enough already and Latvia would rather just come back another day. He started to tremble a little, avoiding eye contact]

A-actually, could I be excused instead? I-is there a nurse on campus I could see?

[rukhacademy]

[Myers doesn't appear to be very impressed with these excuses and she holds her whip loosely in front of her and orders again,]

The nurse isn't going to be able to help you. Don't think I'm going to go easy on you just because you're a little guy-- [And she tightens it with a snap. Was that lightening crackling? ] --because that is exactly why you need to strengthen your body!

You can be excuse after class! Now, start counting.

[balzams]

[Latvia flinched at the crack of the whip and without thinking started to count. Nothing else, just counting as he stood there and trembled]

One! two! three...!

[rukhacademy]

[She cracks the whip again.] Don't look so scared! Do your push ups proudly and strongly! You're training to become powerful, and being physically and mentally powerful is important!

[balzams]

C-could you just give me a moment? I don't do well under pressure like this!

[rukhacademy]

Don't work well under pressure? Well this is your chance to fix that! Now hurry up, work hard, and don't you dare give up! [She cracks her whip again.]

[balzams]

[And with that he droped to the ground, giving a meager display of upper-body strength. He could already tell that this would be one of his most hated classes]
