"Katarina Exoritoph! Pay attention this instant". "Wha.. where... who... huh?". "Awake now, are we?" The thing quirked an eyebrow. "Don't just stare like the oaf you are, pay attention to what I am teaching you, you never listen..." it resumed its tirade which seemed endless. Soon the thing's waves of tirades ebbed,soon Kat and the thing stared at each other like total strangers, one dumbfounded and the other staring at the other as if it is a lower intelligence lifeform. "What? Are you done staring like the veerlik you seemed to be modeled after". A wave of giggles and chuckles seemed to creep in like a breeze of fresh air and was very soothing. Only then did Kat look around himself and saw that there were other, things, that looked like Ms tirade at the front of the? Whatever it is that looked like a futuristic screen. (Not that he had seen one before)."Psst Kat, say you are sorry" whispered one of the things, but this one looked like a bro you can count on. "I'm,am, I sorry" said Kat butchering the apology. "Humph when I am done with you, you will be" said Ms Tirade seemingly unwilling to let go of her grudge. "Now class, let us not stray any further due to some,Veerlings..." it said as if in disgust then continued "...disturbing our class.Ahem, now what is the composition of aether fashioned by cultivators?" Asked Ms, her highness,teacher extraordinaire, her holiness,Tirade (This is just Kat mocking her). One of the things stood up with much gusto that he swore a wind passed by the whole classroom and it answered "It is 2 parts mana, 7 parts spiritual energy, 2 parts primordial aether...." it continued for what was about 10 minutes stating what seemed to be a mad man's ravings. That the pretty thing had all that memorized was not only impressive, but was telling of the standards that the so-called school set. Soon, the class ended and the bro you can lean on, came to him as he was still seated. "Kat you should be careful with Ms Erinnater, you know she is a higher class god, she will cast you out into aether-space for insubordination next time do not even look defiant, look meek, like me" bro said with a quirky smile."What is a higher class god" asked Kat innocently. Bro exclaimed and hurriedly covered Kat's mouth as if he spoke some conspiracy. "Never, ever, ask stupid questions, now let's go home before you offend a god or something". Like that, two things, one not knowing he is the very same thing he calls a thing and the other filled with concern for the other, headed home.
