“Apologies again, if I made you uncomfortable. I know a thing or two about duties as well. I imagine how it must feel,” Eris explained herself after hearing the other girl's comment, holding back the urge to chuckle after seeing her skittish behavior.
“Yes, the irony of power is a tragedy worth of the grandest stage. And, if I didn't knew this to be real, I would think I'm before a character penned by the greatest playwright to ever live,” Eris sai after Hana'O introduced herself. She couldn't help but add a bit of theatrics to her own speech, bringing a hand to her chest and speaking in a dramatic voice.
“I'm pleased to meet you. I must admit that I find it very exotic to bear a name of such weight as yours, but it too has a kind of nostalgic beauty.”“Time flies when you're having fun, indeed,” Eris said to herself as the other girl made her leave known.
“Farewell, Miss Hana'O. I'm sure we'll come across each other more than once. This academy isn't so expansive, after all,” she added before following her own path.

“Excuse me,” Eris said once their teacher finished his explanation of the things to come.
“I'm not saying that this tournament is... ill-thought, so to say. But, isn't it quite excessive to throw a hundred-or-so students out of the door all at once? Furthermore, isn't it a little more accurate to say that they throw away Class C plus for others? Since this class has always been considered the worst as far as I remember from my studies.”“Not saying that I plan on losing or anything like that but it's certainly quite inconvenient and sly,” she commented to herself.

“I prefer to think of it like a pool of mercury. Formless, yet heavy, it's just a matter of pouring it on a vessel fitting to do one's bidding,” Eris commented once their teacher began giving a lecture that sounded more like he was bragging than trying to impart any knowledge upon them.
“In fact, combining this lecture plus an earlier encounter from today gave me quite a few interesting ideas,” she added as she made her way to a corner of the arena.
She reviewed some points in her tome as she waited for her opponent, already preparing a trick or two.
“My my, aren't we eager with the expellings? I imagine the paperwork for that much be truly exciting,” she said, casting a spell that had seeming no effect at all but was indeed an illusion, making her invisible while leaving a formless clone in her place.
“I at least assume we aren't going to do this with lethal weapons, are we?” "Eris" said, hoping that at least they could have some training gear on hand. Controlling the power of a spell was a thing, but going all out with a bow or a blade wouldn't end well.
