I'll be double posting for Iraleth soon, if that's alright.

Chunji jotted down notes into a spare notebook and followed along Alto's words. A broader understanding had been obtained and would be put into practice when there was time. PB, or Personal Barrier, sounded easier to master now that it wasn't exclusively emotional magic. While it was an integral part, Chunji could empathsize with the idea of "I do not like getting hurt," and use that for his essence.

Although Alto's words concerning using prime essence for any type of spell seemed concerning. Chunji doubted there would be a need to utilize that method, espescially since his prime essence was unknown, but who knew. "In the case of using Prime Essence, would Personal Barrier become stronger?" It may seem obvious like the reasoning why an apple would fall from the tree, but Chunji wondered how strong would using Prime Essence to fuel a spell would be.

Other than that, it was time for application. Rio and Chloe seemed to be sticking together and Davil was homing onto Otis. That left Chunji the three possible choices of Hildegrunde, Ciara, and Iraleth. It was obvious who the choice was. "Would you like to partner with me?" Chunji said upfront to Iraleth.

Chunji wanted to minimize interaction with Hildegrunde out of respect and he had a bad opinion of Ciara thanks to their terrible first impression. Naturally, it left Iraleth as the best possible option out of the trio.
"Hmmm... This taste disgusting." Shun mumbled to herself as she ate an insect. The wanderlust curiosity had soon faded as she finished it up. It took her a few minutes to down one of the critters and she wasn't going to do it again. The last thing she wanted to have a meal in this world was a bug. There were several suspicious looking mushrooms that looked somewhat edible. She picked a few but did not eat them. They would make do for dish along with the other plants she'd found.

Even if the events of foraging seemed to be mudane, it felt liberating for Shun. Without any worry about her future and only focusing what was in front of her was the ideal life she'd imagine.

That was until she stepped three foot lower than what she should have. Animal tracks and ones that Shun were familiar with. The same animals- No monsters that crushed Yuudai when he was still in the bus. What was once desire for adventure soon became a thirst for vengeance. She needed to kill it. For Yuudai, for herself.

That monster would become her prey.

Shun thought to herself and formed a simple strategy. If she crippled one of its legs, then she'd have an easier time killing it. No matter how thick the hide, a blunt attack will strike true to the bone. "Ah..." As she knelt down to conceal herself, a sharp pain stabbed into her leg. She had forgotten but Shun knew instictively what it was.

Ayana/Oro's rock.

This rock was a good charm or whatever. Perhaps it would give her some luck in return? "Please give me strength..." Shun muttered. She clutched the rock before putting away back into her pocket.

All or night.

The engine in her soul breathed out life. Her body accelerating, the promised thrill was envisioned. In one moment, Shun was within the bushes.

Until she wasn't.

A Shun sized projectile shot forward towards the hulk-phant. The metaphorical meteor that would wipe out the monster out from existence. Sun was giving it all she had.
So that's what their names were. Chunji took mental note of those who fought with him at the auditorium. Otis, Ciara, Iraleth, and Hildegrunde. Along with their mannerism based on their brief introductions, this group was an odd group. Nonethenless they were going to see each other for a year. Forming connections would make future interactions more fluid and concise, which would be helpful in situation where a fight may be incurred. That was a smaller priority however. Chunji wanted to focus on his studies before all else.

When the word 'empathy' was said, Chunji immediately reminded of the librarian. Empathy seemed to be a recurring theme, he'd need to find a way to better understand that word. Chunji's eyes followed Alto's movements. The moment Alto drew out his sword, Davil suddenly came out of his seat in a sprint. Only for the sword to bounce off of Alto's head. Out of courtesy, Chunji focused on the demonstration rather than the circus- his peer that was returning to his seat.

Now it was time for questions. Personal Barrier, or PB, seemed troublesome to learn. Chunji would need to make a few adjustments to suit Personal Barrier for his own needs, but it'd be best if he experimented with the original technique. "While I understand the fundamentals, I'm inexperienced in the application of it." Chunji informed the instructor. There were a few spells that he knew that performed the same function as Personal Barrier, so he'd have to borrow some of that experience and try to combine it with emotional essence.

The process of employing faculty seemed to be a difficult job for Principal Raja. Regardless on what Chunji thought about Alto, the man in front of him was Professor Alto. Chunji had to respect him as a Professor and Alto may have some capacity to teaching if Principal Raja was the one to employ him. Alto was considerably younger, when compared to Professor Lumyr, with the age gap being four year. Was there some sort of commonality?

Though they were not jumping straight to learning rather than an introductory course on what to expect from the class. Chunji presumed this was normal as he hadn't been to school before. Either way, what Alto said about Personal Barrier seemed to be a useful skill to learn. Personal Barrier would allow some room for error in the heat of battle. As Chunji had learn during orientation, skill and dexterity weren't enough to avoid injuries. Learning to block more efficient may prove useful.

Seeing Alto prompting his peers and himself, Chunji looked Alto dead in the eye. "Chunji Yi, 18, the average human body consists of 207 bones, I was once bitten by a snake and was bedridden for a month, my goal is to become a doctor." The former information was spoken in a dry tone, which may hint in indifference. While some part was true, Chunji saw that introduction were essential to camaderie. The problem was that Chunji didn't know what to say. His life wasn't particularly interesting and all he knew was anatomy. So Chunji did his best and relayed information that he thought was suitable.

Chunji wanted to ask a few questions but reserved them for later. Would there be more students in the classroom? There seemed to be a lot of vacant seats. Furthermore, how would one refine their ethos? Chunji was fairly curious on what Alto was referring to.

Chunji didn't particular mind with the current setup with the classroom. Students had already taken their 'seats' as the bespectacled student searched for his name. Whoever assigned the classroom roster made it clear that they would've like a certain dynamic. Having Ms. Steeler be with the knight and marksman in the same room was no doubt a deliberate choice to create competitiveness amongst students. There was also the five of them, including himself, who were ones that defeated Gullivier. Perhaps they thought the group developed some sort camaraderie.

Taking a seat in the front row on the left side of the room, Chunji picked up the sticky note. The seat was to Chunji's preference. Up close to where he could hear the Professor and his point of view would give him a good angle to see. It was also fairly isolated from everyone else. The only one who would be on the same row would be the Shadow Witch who was positioned on the other side of the room. It was unknown if the Owl boy would sit there as he had taken his sticky note and walked to the back of the room.

As for the overflowing essence in the room, Chunji decided not to bother with it. Friviously use of his Ethos, as low maintenance as it demanded, would only make him slack and unprepared for situation where he wouldn't be able to use it. For now, Chunji took out a book that he had borrowed from the library and placed it down on to the table. Flipping the book open, he read it until the Professor would enter into the room.
I can probably get a post after today.
Going to have to sit out for a few days. I have exams.
That may prove a little diffucult. I have my hands a little tied right with things, so it'd have to wait until Friday.

EDIT: I'll try to get it done.
