Because it is being given to you [Action]

[former_endboss]

[Mir has made good on her threat, and is now teaching classes-maybe you have been fortunate enough to sign up for this strange tuition, or maybe she's just grabbed you out of some fucking around you were doing and hauled you in to sit at a desk and be bored.

Oh, and the classes she's teaching? Everything from some strange language called Hymmnos, to choir and band, and advanced mathematics and quantum physics/the magical Theory of Everything. Heaven help you if you fall asleep durring the lecture-but some of her stuff is rather innovative and interesting, so maybe you can remain attentive.

Indicate if you've been hauled in, are here of your own volition, or just passing by. And maybe even what class you'd like a lecture on. Though due to small class sizes, it's more like tutoring.]

Hey, you're just starting out. No shame in forgetting how to capitalize a letter. At least you haven't drawn it backwards.

[dragon_moe]

R-right. You showed me how to draw the letter, after all, so it'd be weird if I did it backwards...

[Then why'd you miss the dot, Ixie?]

[former_endboss]

And you're no child, so there's no reason to make such a childish mistake anyways.

[The dot is pretty important, but Mir won't say anything right now.]

[dragon_moe]

Right, exactly. [nod nod]

[former_endboss]

...Hmmm, I wonder if we should move directly to full-immersion training then. I could just speak nothing but Hymmnos to you.

[dragon_moe]

Huh?! That...

...

I... I don't think that's...

[former_endboss]

I'm joking Ixthalluz. You're being even more jumpy than usual. Is something bothering you?

[dragon_moe]

That's...

...

...

D... did you know there's a real knight here? A real knight in armor and everything?

[former_endboss]

Well, no, nobody had mentioned it. I wouldn't be surprised if there were though, this place would be a ideal place for them to seek glory or death I suppose.

[dragon_moe]

The nurse would probably bring her back no matter how many times she dies, though.

[former_endboss]

Yeah, but you'd be brought back if she tried to kill you to. And in any case, you've got the blood of a can-opener running through your veins.

[dragon_moe]

E-even if that's true, that doesn't mean I'm as good as mom is at killing knights.

And... I'd prefer to not feel what dying is like...

[former_endboss]

Yeah, but that whole knight-dragon dynamic doesn't make sense. You've got size, magic, acid, claws like shortswords and teeth like daggers. All they have is a pointy stick. So unless it's a really magical and pure knight or something, what is there really to fear? Unless they have a dragon proof shield and dragon slaying lance or something. They don't have that sort of stuff, do they?

It's no fun, believe me. And I died relatively painlessly. There's no shame in that.

[dragon_moe]

I've heard stories about what knights were like in my world, they really did have powerful weapons and armor like that. The one I met here has a pegasus! Who knows what her stuff is like.

[former_endboss]

Not to sound ignorant or anything, but what's a pegasus? And I guess if they're kitted out to fight dragons, maybe we could use some of your cash to hire demons to fight and make a meat-shield for us?

[dragon_moe]

It's a horse with wings, but they're smarter.

... I guess I could hire some demons, but I think she has any problems fighting the ones around here.

[former_endboss]

You sure about that? I mean, I've seen some pretty impressive demons around here-there was one black haired one a little taller than you knocking over those angels like a bowling ball.

[dragon_moe]

The actually strong ones usually cost a lot of money, though.

[former_endboss]

Ahh, yeah. We'd probably need to be as strong as demons, or called something like 'the Mother of Demons' to get their services.
