After hellish training with Horus it was to take magical lessons from isis as well as academic ones from Thoth. As a god of knowledge he has a lot of knowledge about various things.
Currently the little student was learning about magical beasts from Thoth in the god realm. As an imaginary space created by gods it was a magical place where the deities rest. While the mortal realm was mostly desert, in the god realm, water was aplenty and where in hundreds of fountains and miniature ponds
The buildings were made of white marble in rectangular structures. Various mystical plants were used as decoration and grew in droves. If a mortal were to see this they would be in ecstasy as the magical plants they so desperately want can be turned into elixirs with divine effects, but to gods, they are regarded as nothing but weeds and pretty little trinkets.
Pointing at projection, there were various depictions of majestic birds in various brilliant shades of red. One little bird was perched on a bird stand in a dark room with a man who had a long neck and petite narrow head or a ibis bird.
"As you can see phoenixes are a top tier magical beast that ranges from all different realms."
"While they take on several different forms a true phoenix has the iconic ability of rebirth and control over flames."
"There have been cases of their tears to have magical healing properties as well, but it is only reserved for the purest and noblest of lines."
"While they are capable of rebirth their regenerative powers are not unending or invincible...."
As Thoth rattled on and on about how majestic these magnificent birds are, the little student couldn't help but look at itself.
Its current form was that of a little bird similar to a flinch. Unlike the vermilion shades of red it saw in the projection, its lettle body donned on dark brown shade. It compares it self to the picture Thoth was lecturing one and looked at itself. The gap sure was huge!
"OF COURSE- you cant even compare to them as your bloodline is relatively thin and mixed.", suddenly a very mean comment jolted the little mutt.
Seeing the little ingrate not paying attention, Thoth decided to take a jab at the little brat.
"Do you know how many mortal magicians and even gods seek for my guidance! And this little sh!t wont even pay attention in class!"
In the past, champions chosen by Thoth received personal lessons from and eventually became extremely powerful magic users.
While it was insulted it already had built quite a bit of resistance and no longer reacted strongly, on the outside of course...
"Will ever be as powerful and beautiful as them, chirp?"
Hearing this, Thoth softened his tone. He thought that the little thing wanted to become more powerful.
"It must really want to become stronger for the sake of his new home", thought Thoth.
So patriotic, so loyal, he even felt a little pride. Out of all his champions they were naturally geniuses and silently listed to his lectures. Seeing his cute little student being lazy and goofy, it felt a new kind of sensation that it has never felt before while teaching others before.
What the little pompous thing was actually thinks,"Damn I really am ugly compared to those pureblooded ones..."
"Of course your chances at improving your strength will come in time. Methods can range from gathering faith in massive quantities and using it to modify your form, obtain god tier elixirs steal a bloodline, or help from a higher being"
"The last methods are only viable if Isis was a higher god and she is still far from reaching that stage. Not to mention Horus is just a little brat"
"And YOU are even further. I surprised the meager amount of faith you receive is actually sustaining you."
"What you need to focus on right now is your lessons with us. The more you know about the universe, you will be able to be more calm and able to deal with risky situations. Knowledge is power."
The little chick felt moved and seemed to be enlightened. It was indeed to rash and foolish, thus leading it to nearly go insane in that endless space. Perhaps if it were to have some more prior knowledge it wouldn't have been forced to endure that hell.
"Come to think of it have you regained your memories?"
"Not really, chirp. I just remember floating in space for the longest time, chirp"
"Well if you remember anything do tell one of us", and with that they continued on with their season.
Perhaps due to the little chick determination was not strong enough it started to doze off again...
Seeing his student falling a sleep, Thoth angrily slapped the little chick awake. How I have judged you wrong!
"Lets move onto the physics as well mythological history, oh and let increase your homework by 2 fold."
"UHHhhhhhhh!!!!", groaned the little chick. Professor Thoth was just as bad as the PE teacher, coach Horus!
