Kai's morning class with Master Alden concludes. He gathers his notes and materials, still processing the vast knowledge about Spirit Elixirists.
Grateful to Master Alden for his guidance, he looks forward to revising the material at home.
"Kai," Master Alden addresses him. "For today, this is enough. Make sure to revise the content at home. It will help you comprehend the material better."
Kai nods earnestly. "Thank you, sir. I'll definitely revise it thoroughly."
"Excellent. Now, off to your next class," Master Alden replies, offering a warm smile that reassures Kai. As he leaves the room, he is left with a sense of gratitude and excitement for his future as a Spirit Elixirist.
Outside the Spirit Elixirist Department, Kai stands in contemplation. "Time for the Diyakar Department," he thinks.
The memories of searing heat and fiery forges from his last visit to the department rush back, and he braces himself for the impending discomfort.
Walking through the picturesque campus, he soon reaches the entrance to the Diyakar Department.
The imposing door stands in front of him, and the memory of the heat that welcomed him during his visit comes rushing back.
Inhaling deeply, he exerts force to open the door and enters the room.
Instantly, an oppressive wave of heat envelops him.
Beads of sweat form on his forehead, and he feels the stifling warmth in stark contrast to the previous classroom's comfort.
Kai takes a moment to observe his surroundings. People are scattered around the workshop, wearing light vests, and diligently working near roaring furnaces.
They seem entirely unfazed by the intense heat, and Kai can't help but admire their resilience.
Navigating through the bustling workshop, Kai makes his way toward the group of students huddled around an imposing figure.
Master Alice is overseeing the students' work, offering guidance and instructions. Her aura exudes authority, and it's clear she holds an extensive depth of knowledge.
Master Alice, her eyes sharp and calculating, notices Kai's arrival and greets him with a warm smile. "Good afternoon, Kai."
Kai reciprocates the gesture with a respectful nod. "Good afternoon, Master Alice."
Acknowledging her students' presence, she begins her address. "Welcome, all of you, to the world of Diyakar.
You've embarked on a path that is demanding yet profoundly rewarding. We, the Diyakar, are the creators and artisans, crafting raw materials into purposeful and artistic forms."
She continues with an encouraging tone, "Before we dive into the fiery forge and the anvil's dance, let's get to know each other better. Please, let's start with introductions."
The students take turns sharing a glimpse of themselves. The first student to speak is Miyuki, a petite and somewhat meek girl.
Her soft voice barely audible, but her determination is evident.
Next is Riku, a young man with a warm smile. Despite his friendly appearance, an air of self-doubt surrounds him, as if he has much to prove to himself.
Then there is Haru, a young man who introduces himself with infectious enthusiasm. His outgoing nature quickly breaks the ice among the students.
Kai can't help but feel a sense of familiarity about him.
Finally, it's Kai's turn to introduce himself. Absorbing the personalities surrounding him for a moment, he begins with a greeting; "Good afternoon, everyone."
"My name is Kai, and I look forward to learning alongside all of you."
Kai's introduction is met with polite nods and friendly smiles.
Master Alice nods in approval, guiding her students into the intricate world of Diyakar. The roar of the furnace and the clinking of metal fill the room as the students work on their craft, showing dedication and resolve.
Kai looks forward to learning from both Master Alice and his fellow students, each of whom brings their distinct qualities and experiences to the world of crafting and creation.
