[class] Advanced Summoning Week 7

Characters: Nyo!England and YOU
Format: whatever you like, I will follow
This log is: open, Monday and Thursday of week 7
Location: conquest classroom
Summary: England is finally ready to start teaching. Are you ready to summon ~~cute little creatures~~ monsters?
Warnings: probably PGish, unless there is searing

England had not taught classes the first week she was here, mostly because she was still getting used to the idea of this world and its rules. Once she found out she was forced to teach classes, she had been angry. It seemed as though everyone was forced to do things around here. She hated it.

Sunday evening, she prepared her curriculum so that she was ready to teach by Monday afternoon. "Here goes nothing," she murmured as the bell began to chime. She had very little experience teaching classes, though she was a good speaker and excellent negotiator... but that was when she talked to adults. Hopefully, this wouldn't be too bad.

Upon entering the room, you will find it completely dark except for a few candles lit around the perimeter. All the desks have been pushed back, and there is a magic circle drawn on the floor in black marker (don't worry, it's not permanent!). England is at the front of the room, hands on her hips. She is wearing the green cloak Prussia bought her, as well as the five rings on her left hand, which are unseen.

England is not a very tall or busty woman. She has blonde hair that curls at the ends, and today it is pulled into a low ponytail. She looks serious, old fashioned, and she will most likely single you out if you make fun of her room's decor.

Anything you want to ask?

England is a little nervous today.

Suzaku frowned at the set up but stood near the back of the classroom. He had never seen such a symbol or circle before but there was something about it he didn't trust. He waited for instructions.

It seemed there were not too many students signed up for this class. Well, that was alright. Gwen didn't mind giving her attention to one person who wanted to learn. She walked over to the human, smirking softly. The less students, the better, as far as she was concerned.

"Well, it looks like you're going to be my apprentice! What is your name, young man?"

Suzaku hated being called out in class, but he stepped forward and stood to attention. At least she wasn't Cornelia. Wasn't Britannian at all he didn't think.

Apprentice? That sounded... dubious. Since he still wasn't sure what this class even was. "Suzaku Kururugi ma'am." He told her formally.

England's smirk softened a little. Was he nervous? She probably frightened him. "My name is Igirisu." The Japanese word for the United Kingdom. It was weird speaking another language than her own, but as long as she could understand other people, that was fine. "And you're allowed to call me that."

She moved away from him then and walked to the other side of the circle. "This is a magic circle. With different incantations, it is possible to summon creatures from other worlds."

"Igi...risu," Suzaku sounded out the word that had no meaning to him even though it should, fog filled his mind as he tried to work out what it meant and he had to drag his thoughts away before the pain got too much. He concentrated on the lesson instead.

"Creatures from other worlds?"

((OOC: Yeah... Suzaku forgot Japanese... I am so nice to him...))

England nodded. "I do it all the time back home. It's not easy to teach, but I'll do my best." Perhaps summoning monsters would be useful in this school. Any strong beast could attack enemies, possibly free everyone. "Today I'll just teach you a few simple things to get started."

[ooc: i... thought everyone spoke japanese lol i wonder how he gets long ;3; come here and let me hold you suzaku bb]

Suzaku nodded, he supposed it could be useful, after all any advantage they could have to help get them out of here was useful. He waited, wondering how they were to even summon these creatures.

[ooc: they speak magical translated language unless they specifically say a word in a specific language intending for it to be only in that language. Currently everything is being translated into Britannian. He is sad that he's forgotten Japanese though :(]

Still staying on her side of the circle, England reached to her desk and grabbed a small bag. It looked as though there was something inside it. "When summoning, you must always remember that something from your world must be sacrificed. If you want to borrow something from worlds beyond, you have to pay for it!" She opened the little pouch. Inside was some sort of powder, and she went about moving and sprinkling it around the circle. "Depending on what you want to bring over here—a weapon, a companion, or even a demon—the sacrifice you make must equal that of which you want to summon."

She raised her head and gave Suzaku a mischievous smile. "Do you believe in magic, mister Kururugi?"

[ooc: oh, oops... i meant for it to be, uh. whatever language was spoken then... never mind, sorry 8( ]

"Magic?" Suzaku frowned. The closest to magic he knew was Geass and he did not trust that, he wasn't sure about the talk of payment either. What did they have to pay with? What did they have to sacrifice, things always came with a price and Suzaku already knew that somehow no matter how justified you thought the price was, it was always painful.

"I guess after being stolen to a different world and meeting animals that can talk, magic is a small thing to believe in."

"Good answer," England nodded. "But you still look confused. Do you want to ask me anything before we move on?"

"The sacrifice, what do you mean by that?"

He didn't really want to do this until he understand what was needed and what was going to happen.

Ah.

"As I said, the sacrifice you give must be equal to that of which you want." England dusted off her hands. "It can be anything, whatever the other side requests. Money, herbs, even a small animal depending on what the other side wants. But we will not be summoning anything that valuable."

Suzaku nodded, "What shall we use for the sacrifice this time?" He was still cautious but more interested. After all this was nothing like he had ever seen or learned before.

"Just a drop of blood," said the teacher. "But only from me this time. You won't get to try summoning until Thursday. For now, a demonstration. You'll notice that I sprinkled powder around the circle. What do you think it is?" Suzaku did not have to be right or wrong. After all, this was just a class.

Suzaku nodded, blood... wasn't too bad. It wasn't like his blood wasn't spilled all the time in battles anyways. "Some kind of protection?"

England nodded again. "Good! It's a powder made from crushed rocks, actually. And that helps the barrier around the magic circle. We most likely won't need it in this class, but it is quite useful to trap very large or wild monsters. I always use it, just in case."

Suzaku nodded, he guessed it was better to be safe than sorry, he waited silently waiting for the demonstration. Curious about what was about to happen.

Alright, time to play. England adjusted her cloak and then held out her hands over the circle. She began to chant in a low, hushed voice, and her hands began to glow a bright green color. She was skilled in magic, so this part came easy to her. It would probably not be so easy for first time beginners.

After several times through the chant, the circle also began to shimmer. A beam of light shot up out of the center and something began to rise from it. When the smoke and light cleared, a little bunny-type creature flew up with tiny wings and cooed at Suzaku.

"Aha! There it is! A ferocious monster!" Hopefully, the human would be able to see it.

Well... that was impressive. Suzaku stood ready, in case whatever the teacher had summoned turned out to be dangerous.

He blinked... Because the creature didn't look ferocious... "What... what kind of creature is it?" Was it dangerous? It looked like a rabbit...

"That's a monster!" England said, practically beaming with pride. It flew back over to her and she began to nuzzle it. "Who's a scary monster? You are! Yes, you are~"

Right... Well... That was... interesting. Suzaku watched quietly, it was just like a cat. She reminded him of Euphie...

He pulled his mind away from that thought and watched silently.

After nuzzling the big, scary monster, England turned to Suzaku again, holding up her hand. The summoned creature rested there. "And those are the basics of summoning. Do you have anymore questions?"

Suzaku blinked again but shook his head, "No... I think everything was clear..."

He paused and frowned again before giving up and asking, "What... the creatures you summon, what is their purpose?"

"Purpose?" England repeated, blinking right back at her student. "Well, they can be for anything. You can fight other monsters with them. But, like I said, it doesn't have to be just monsters you summon. You can borrow strong weapons or items from other realms. Basically, whatever you summon is yours for an allotted amount of time."

"Oh..." He nodded understanding. "How long, is the time connected to the sacrifice you make?"

"It can be a day, a week, for life. It depends on the contract..." It was hard to explain. England thought she had been doing well today, but she was starting to realize that being a teacher was tricky. There were so many things to explain, rules that came natural to her. How on earth was she supposed to teach magic to humans?

It was at that time that the bell announcing the end of class rang. England let out a huge sigh of relief. "I will put together some examples for you," she said quickly. "Perhaps that will help."

Suzaku sensed that she was out of her depth and didn't push, after all she hadn't chosen to be a teacher no more than any of them had chosen to come here. "Thank you, that would be helpful." He gathered his things, "Thank you for the lesson."

The woman nodded once more and gave Suzaku a big smile. Then as he was leaving, she seemed to remember something.

"O-oh, wait! Your homework," she said, holding out her hand. "I'd like you to think of something small you might want to try summoning. It doesn't have to be alive, but it could be an insect. Or a pencil, a hair brush. Something like that!"

Suzaku paused as he was spoken to and nodded. "I will. Thank you."

Good, that was good. At least England had remembered that. She sighed loudly and then went to clean the classroom up. That didn't go so well. But, of course, she hadn't expected to be a teacher. Hell, she didn't want to be a teacher! As much as England loved children, she could get impatient rather easily.

The only way to triumph over this game was to play, no matter what it meant doing. England had no intention of being punished. She only hoped that her actions would help her earn enough points to leave...

It's getting slightly easier. Slightly.
