The Magic of Teaching

Is everyone alright? There were so many injuries... I'm still not very good at healing, but I will be dropping by the hospital again to check in.

[She pauses, as if wondering whether or not she should continue. But after a moment, she begins speaking again.]

With everything going on, I didn't notice but... I received something from my home! It's the teacher's uniform I was given when I started working at the Kamisaid Magic Academy. It's still big for me, but it's nice to have another reminder of then!

[Come to think of it, that would explain why her clothes are a bit different from her usual green cloak. Still, she looks happy to have them back!]

I hope everyone is okay at home. Misaki-san would probably yell at me if she found out I was here instead of teaching, eheheh... And Ahito-kun is probably causing trouble during class again... Oh! And I hope someone is looking after Shi-chan, too. Maybe Yutsuko-san? She would probably do a really good job at it...

[She trails off, eventually swiping an arm across her eyes.]

B-but, um. I should get going now! Bye-bye!

Lookin' good, Hibiki. [He's definitely teasing, but at the same time he's a bit surprised to hear about her teaching.

Also, hey. Long time no see.]

How old are you, anyways?

[saving_sound]

Ah- Kiri-san!

[She looks even happier to see a familiar face after so long!]

Me? I'm ten.

[flareuplife]

Isn't ten a little bit young to be a teacher? [He suspected that much about her age, but still...]

What kind of stuff do you normally teach?

[saving_sound]

Ah... probably. I teach an ordinary class, so... Magic and history and things like that.

[flareuplife]

So you knew magic before you came here...?

[saving_sound]

A little. I wasn't very good at it, though.

[flareuplife]

You sure? If you're a teacher, then that probably means you know enough to be able to teach it.

[Aka "Stop being modest".]

[stungun]

Ah, ah it was no big deal~!

[ Shion you got stabbed... ]

[saving_sound]

Not really... I don't have the talent for it.

[...It doesn't help that the teacher position was basically a demotion, either.]

[saving_sound]

Were you hurt then, too?

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

I'm alright... m-my friend and I didn't get injuried, miss... [She speaks very quietly from the audio...not wanting to ask why such a young girl can be teaching at all.]

[oresamazing]

[... That was new.]

A teacher at your age?

[seventeenpills]

I'm glad you got a gift from home, Hibiki. And I'm not surprised to hear that you're a teacher, either - You seem cut out for that sort of role.

[histories]

Ah, child. I hadn't thought you were a teacher as well!

[starryguyed]

Teacher...?

U-um, how how old are you?

[flareuplife]

...Okay, okay. [He just thinks she's being overly modest though.]

You were talking about the stabbings earlier, right? How many people were hurt? I...somehow missed out on all that. [And he feels a little guilty for not being there to help.]

[Audio]

[saving_sound]

[Phew. She's relieved to hear that!]

I'm glad. It's scary how many were hurt...

Is your friend from here or from home?

[saving_sound]

Ah... yes.

[Even she was surprised, to be honest...]

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

[Pause] ...Home?

[saving_sound]

[She blinks a few times, tilting her head.]

...You really think so?

[saving_sound]

[She gives a small gasp.]

So... are you a teacher too?

[seventeenpills]

Of course. I wouldn't say it if I didn't think so. When I needed help learning something, you were very quick to offer up good advice. I think Teaching is a natural fit for you.

[saving_sound]

I'm ten...

[saving_sound]

[Her expression becomes grave at the thought of the stabbings. It was not a very good time, and she feels even worse because she and a few others had figured out the connection long before it ever happened.]

I don't know. It was all I could do to check for more messages after I helped another person.

And you teach?
