ＢＥＦＯＲＥ ＣＬＡＳＳ
( Why are you in class? Oh, does this mean class should be starting already? Unfortunately, it looks like your teacher is running very a little late. )

ＤＵＲＩＮＧ ＣＬＡＳＳ
( About fifteen minutes later, Spain will waltz into class, unaware of how late he is. It isn't until he's half way into the class that he'll notice that everyone is pretty much settled down and ready to which he'll remark, )

Ah, good! Everyone is ready.

Today in class we'll go over. . . ( Staring at the board. And at the map posters on the wall. ) Oh, well, this is a bit embarrassing.

( You see, he hasn't really thought this far ahead. So he turns around to the class with a smile and says, )

What do you want to learn today?

ＡＦＴＥＲ ＣＬＡＳＳ
( Class really shouldn't be over yet but it is. It looks like Spain has ended class about twenty minutes early and he insists he ended class on time. You can talk to him after class or mingle with others. Spain will be cleaning up the room as everyone leaves.

Also, there is no homework tonight. )

[Teddy has been waiting since the real start of class. He's pretty excited even though the teacher is really late, because this is one of the first classes he's seen that's an actual school subject. His hopes are pretty much dashed once Spain finally shows up and starts talking.]

[he raises his hand.] Excuse me, Mr... Uh. Um, are we going to use, like, a curriculum or anything?

[koyo]

( Grk. Called out already. . . )

Fernandez. ( That sounds so formal though. ) Or Antonio. You see, it's Antonio Fernandez-Carriedo but either or works.

( As for the second point though, )

Sí! Of course! What kind of teacher do you think I am?

AFTER CLASS...

[countryofassholes]

[Guess who's poking her head in to look upon you disapprovingly, Spain.

Hint: she's freakishly tall and looks like a certain obnoxious nation you know.]

[koyo]

( Erasing the boards and beginning to put away any maps that he's used. He doesn't even notice until he turns around, )

If you're here for class, you're rather late.

[countryofassholes]

I'm actually here about Exaclan. It's been 5 days, y'know.

[koyo]

Huh? That many days already? ( It seems like less. ) I suppose a lot has happened.

[countryofassholes]

[Well it might have been four. ... I'm going by the game counter.]

Aren't you planning to fight anyone soon?

[koyo]

Planning? ( Spain doesn't plan, Britannia. He acts! But. . . ) No.

. . . Are you?

during class

[traces]

Is... isn't that up to you, Mr. Antonio, sir?

[koyo]

I suppose in the end, it is, sí. But if yo u're the ones learning, shouldn't you get a say too?

[traces]

I suppose so... I hadn't thought of it like that.

[koyo]

( Yes. Nice save, españa. )

Well, that's why I'm here, no? To help you think!

( Or are you here to help him think. )

[traces]

Ah! That's a good point, too. You're very smart, Mr. Antonio.

Um... As for what I'd like to learn... I'm very interested in European history.

[koyo]

( no one ever really calls him smart. spain is quite surprised and in a good way! )

Ah! Well. . . ! Yes! You're in luck because I happen to know a lot about Europe. ( BRB, struggling to pull the map down. Stay, stay-- there we go. ) There's a lot to know because there are so many of us but we'll start with some of the more important ones, hm? Do you know about Italia?

[savedbyasong]

[Oh look another school subject Shion knows nothing about, or at least he is assuming he wont. He knows his own world history, or at least the history he was taught in No. 6 and the history of the six cities. But looking up at the maps he doubted that it was his own world history he was to learn.

He blinked at the teacher when he finally came into class late. But raised his hand]

What world are we to learn the history of sir? [So he could go look it up in the library if all the lessons were going to be this unorganised]

[koyo]

( Motioning towards the different maps, )

This one, of course. Unless there are other worlds out there then, well. . . I don't know if I can tell you much about those.

[savedbyasong]

Shion nodded, "What is the world called?" He nodded, wondering how the teacher hadn't noticed yet. "As far as I can tell there are a few different worlds, since many people here come from different worlds that one another."

[koyo]

Spain paused as he thought about the question. It was a strange one and he couldn't really figure out what it meant. While he had conversations with people from other worlds, it was not something that came up in conversation. And then Shion explained.

As he listened, Spain took a seat on the desk and nodded as he listened. "Is that so? Are you from another world. . . Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't get your name."

[savedbyasong]

"Oh!" Shion grinned, "I am Shion." He nodded, "I seem to be, at least from what I have heard of the worlds others come from, they are not the same as mine."

[koyo]

"Good morning, Shion." Spain says once he learned his name. "How is your world different?" He asked. Spain was very curious to find out more. Even in the past he had had an interest in new places and that hadn't changed.

"I have an idea; what if we all talk about where we're from."

During Class

[drawsdeath]

[Becca rolls her eyes at the question. This school is really ridiculous, but at least it's easy.]

I'd rather learn useful stuff, not stupid subjects I'll never use.

[koyo]

Haha, of course, no one really wants to learn about a bunch of old places and people, no? ( He leans against the board, hands supporting him, and smiles. CENTURIES AGO, Spain was also a student and back then, it was much more boring. ) What is useful to you?

[drawsdeath]

I need to be able to take good care of my baby brother. Cook to feed him, steal to get food and clothes, raise him right, that sort of thing.

[koyo]

. . . Why do you have to steal?

[drawsdeath]

There's no money.
