Professor Eisner's Advice Box



I am Byleth. Academy Professor. I am not a robot:



Back in the monastery in my world, professors would answer questions left in the advice box. So here's the advice box online. Leave your questions below, and I will answer.

Like this:

Q: Professor, can I have Manuela's home address?

: ❝No❞

Professor!

[ Gosh just typing that takes her back. Negi never did anything like this, but she could imagine the chaos that would have happened if he did. ]

You ever teach anyone older than you? How many, if you did?

[byleth]

I have.
Too many to count.
Even teachers need teachers.

Are you someone older than I am who is looking to be taught?

[ That's why she's asking, right? ]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Oh no! Unless you're younger than 19. I was just curious, because you reminded me of someone I know at home. He taught me despite being 4 years younger. Child prodigy!

[ When satisfying her own curiosity, Konoka doesn't think about time sinks. ]

But anyway, I'm so busy these days. I have my work and rest of my life balance under control, but I keep running into new things I want to learn and try out during my free. How do I keep myself disciplined enough to stick to a few things?

[byleth]

I'm not.

[ Considering his long 5-year nap, age has become more of a construct at this point... ]

Prodigy? I'm not anything like that.
Just a former mercenary.

[ As for her question, well- ]

Establish a routine, practice and train regularly, force yourself to stick to it.
I can be a reminder and disciplinarian if you need.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

I'll consider it! I guess work is routine enough that I have that under control, guess I gotta schedule my free time too!

Thank you!

[byleth]

What were you hoping to learn in particular?
I could help tutor, too.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Oh, I'm a mage! How much do you know about magic, and the general self-defense using such?

[byleth]

A bit.
I teach magic as part of the curriculum.
Do you focus on healing or offensive?

[im_gonna_heal_u]

I'm primarily a healer! I've dabbled in other arts, but healing is what I'm best at.

[byleth]

We could work on that if you want to refine your skills
or improve your distance healing.
There are even support techniques I can show you.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Distance healing? Oh, that sounds interesting!

How often do you teach?

[byleth]

Every day of the week.
Except the "weekend."

That's fishing time.

You can find me in the academy otherwise.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Great! I'll keep that in mind!

Thank you for your time!

[byleth]

It was no trouble.
Your name, if you don't mind?

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Konoka Konoe.

Nice to meet you, Professor!

[byleth]

Nice to meet you, too, Konoka.
I'll remember it if we meet again.
