[The video opens at first to a glorious view of Manuela's chest. There's some messing around and you hear her click her tongue before she angles the camera up to her face. After studying it for a moment, she brightens.]

There! That's better.

[She smiles and smooths her hair before sitting back in the chair she's sitting in.]

Hello, everyone. My name is Manuela and I decided to take this chance to let you know that we have another option for schooling here. I have recently opened a school called Casagranda's Grand Castle Academy. We have worked hard this past month in preparing it to open and look forward to having students join us for lessons.

[She adjusts the camera a little again then rests her hands in her lap.]

We currently offer some of the basics of reading and writing as well as languages. However, our courses extend into that of combat training as well. We even provide lessons and instruction on magic use for healing and combat. There is no tuition to attend and we welcome those interested in a classroom experience or private tutoring. Simply let us know your interests and we will do our best to help you achieve the lesson requirements for the task.

And for those interested in teaching or helping to maintain the school, there are still positions available. I would be glad to speak with you privately about opportunities.

[A wink and she wiggles her fingers to wave.]

I look forward to seeing your beautiful faces, dears.



[ooc: For those interested in looking into things more...Here is a link to the information for the Academy!]

Very nicely done, Manuela.

To everyone else: I hope that you will consider our school. We have no restrictions based on age or previous education level - no matter what kind of world you come from or what your circumstances are, we welcome you.

[searchingforlove]

Thank you, dear. It really means a lot to have you helping me with this.

Wait! No restrictions based on age? I don't know what you're trying to do but you cannot trick me into going to school again.

[ Doesn't this feel nostalgic already? The return to routine in this world would be nice. ]

I look forward to working with you once more, Manuela.
Do you need any further help in getting the school ready for its opening?

[searchingforlove]

I think we have everything as ready as it can be. I am greatly looking forward to working with you though, Professor.

I look forward to teaching with you again. This feels nostalgic, in a way.

[searchingforlove]

It will be rather fun seeing if you really are just as attractive teaching as your counterpart. Though I do have high hopes.

Congratulations on your efforts, Manuela.

To borrow an old line, I expect great things from you.

[searchingforlove]

Thank you. That really means so much coming from you. I hope to make you proud.

[ It took Juno a long time to come up with a screen name. She figured she needed to, to protect her identity and to also blend in with the rest. So this message came a little later. She also took some time deciding and weighing her options before coming to a decision ]

I'm sorry if this is reaching you very late, Ms. Manuela. But I am interested in becoming a part of your school! I have not been able to attend school for many years now due to difficult circumstances, so I hope I won't be a burden! It's just, I long forgot what it's like to be in a classroom after being away from it for as long as I have

[ She's nervous, and she's not denying it. ]

[searchingforlove]

You won't be a burden, dear. And you can call me Manuela. Though, if you will feel more comfortable with it, Professor Manuela is also fine. Ms. just seems so old don't you think?

Are there subjects that would interest you? We can make sure we craft something to your needs.

[Speaking of faces, a rather pale one stares back from the video feed, wispy tendrils streaming from his hair marking him as an Iris (even if it isn't the correct time of month).]

Why? [He asks, though he knows how broad a question that is, so he continues before she can respond to it.] You say you desire to provide an alternative option for education--In what manner is Casagranda's Grand Castle Academy intended to differ from the current curriculum provided by Lunatia Academy?

[searchingforlove]

As mentioned before, we do offer classes in combat as well as magical studies. I would hardly suggest one should pick my school over the other. People should find the education that suits them the best.

However, my school can offer classes that Lunatia doesn't provide and can assure that all necessary items will be provided free of charge.

I am glad you decided to organize this, Manuela. It truly does feel like a return to normalcy, doesn't it?

[searchingforlove]

It does. I feel so much more myself now that I have classes to teach again.

Oh, that sounds fun! (*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)
But, er, combat training... ＿|￣|○
I’m not very athletic in the first place, is that okay...? (・・?)
I’d like to learn self defense!! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ

[searchingforlove]

If you would like to learn self defense then there is no reason you shouldn't. And there will be other classes available as well if you would feel more comfortable there.

[Well, someone did mention Rin could go back to school, and another brought up continuing his training...

He still wants to open his own business at some point, but maybe getting some further education and having something to do in the meantime will actually be helpful.

Even if he really does not like going to school.]

Soooo... I was goin' to an exorcist school? But like over a year ago now? The last place I was in, school wasn't really...

There wasn't one, actually.

But I'm also kinda really bad at school? I was actually a drop out before I started my exorcist trainin'. I'm probably not gonna be a good fit, heh...

[searchingforlove]

I'm really not sure what goes into an exorcist school but if it is anything like combat training then I feel there will still be classes suitable to your interests.

un: undyingsoul

[necroyalty]

Well, this certainly brings back memories.

I've got my hands tied a bit too much with the bookstore to offer to teach full time, but if anyone's in need of private tutoring for magic, do let me know.

[searchingforlove]

Are you offering to teach part time then?

[aegir]

[ thankfully her description of the school's offerings was long enough that his face isn't red anymore by the time he responds! ]

Congratulations, Professor Manuela! This is a truly great accomplishment! I am glad that others here will have the opportunity to study under you.

[searchingforlove]

Oh thank you, Ferdinand. You are, of course, welcome to attend if you like. It would be lovely if I could have you in my class again.

[Manuela is here as well, hmm? Interesting. It takes Hubert awhile to respond, and that's not just because he's unfamiliar with texting. Figuring out what to say and how to say it when anyone can see is a bit difficult, after all.]

Congratulations, professor. I'm interested in learning more about the school, would you be available to meet with me at some point?

[That's... not entirely a lie, he is curious about the school and who all is involved with it. But mostly it's to get an idea of what Manuela remembers and whether he should be seeing her as a potential threat or not, so you know. Just Hubert things.]

[searchingforlove]

Oh Hubert. I wasn't aware you had arrived.

Would you like to meet today? I have some free time before classes begin tomorrow. Perhaps you can let me know how Edelgard is doing. I do worry about her.

[And who would know better than Hubert himself?]

[ oh my god this was not a good video to open while at work... his boss saw his phone when he clicked on it and she smacked him upside the head????

samatoki only looks a little bothered, though... ]

The magic lessons're pretty interestin'. Can you teach someone who's normal, though?

[searchingforlove]

Normal? Well I'd say one is normal whether they can use magic or not. Still, we can see what your potential is. Even if we find you can't learn it then perhaps we can help you use any Moonblessing magic you might end up with. Otherwise it can be useful to know the strengths and weaknesses of magic to protect yourself and combat it.

[A pause and then she tilts her head some.]

I suppose perhaps the best answer is that not everyone can use magic but that's no reason to stop people from learning all the same.

( Look, for the better or the worst there's only one thing Isabela's paying attention to here. )

Ah, the good old 'chest pic' trick. I approve!

[searchingforlove]

[Aha! Someone who realized her ploy. She smiles brightly at the beautiful woman and definitely preens a bit. When you've got it...flaunt it.]

Why thank you. I thought it would be just that right touch to really grab attention.

[Because sometimes you need people to get distracted by tiddy only to realize they've been roped into something else.]

Thank you, dear. Would you like to attend some classes? I would be honored to teach you.
