"The leaves in my clothes are annoying..." I said as I walked through the mostly empty hallway. Carefully eyeing all the rooms I passed as everyone was refusing to leave the doorway until I had passed. Each passing gifting me with whispered insult after whispered insult before I finally reached where I wanted to go.
"And as you can see from the diagram I have posted..." a teacher was saying to the students in the room before he stopped when I came in. A look of disgust coming over him before he gestured me towards the very corner of the room. Something I complied with without issue as hopefully this corner was far away enough that I could not hear the student gossip. Soon looking on with curiosity at what was being shown.
I could not read the notes, obviously, but, it seemed to be about magic and the magic aura. I think I heard it be called Internal and External at one point by either Rose or someone else. Carefully jotting down what notes I could in Tobaballian in hopes of maybe being able to piece it all together later. It was awkward because my hands were not made for writing.
In fact, I was contemplating if I should just use my claw to write with as the means I was given were all slabs of earth and stone. Very magical stone going by how it formed shapes largely on its own, even converting what I was trying to write into another language for some reason. It was very annoying having to go back over my notes every now and then. But, soon, maybe I will be able to write in this language.
"You! Stop interrupting my lecture!" the teacher down at the front demanded to someone. Something that caused me to raise my head up to see what was going on. Only to be confused by the fact it was directed at me rather than the students coming in making all this noise.
"I'm no-"
"Do not speak back to me!" he suddenly said to me before sighing and placing his face against his palm, "Well, let us see if you have been paying attention, what is the difference between External-Magic and Internal-Magic?"
I think I knew this? Yeah, I think I did, "Internal-Magic is what your body holds while External-Magic is..." soon being at a loss for words before I gestured around me.
"Can I now have an answer from someone who is not clearly younger than twenty." he then sneered out at my expense. Was he calling me a child?
"Yes, Lecturer Brutano. The difference is, simply put for our learning disadvantaged students, is that one is magic stored within the body to reinforce its structure while external is what it lets out and controls."
"Thank you!" this Brutano said with a clap before he stared at me and at the people making noise because none were willing to sit near me, "Get out of my lecture." he then demanded of me.
Something I just went along with, making sure my hand was tightly on the handlebar at the side. Just in case as many were sticking their legs out and intentionally guiding them towards my legs.
