	The silence in the room lingered for longer than Salem cared for. Anxiety began to well up inside of him wondering if he had done something wrong already, his mind was stuck between two ideologies that contradicted themselves. One had told him to remain silent and not speak until spoken to, as is what Aaron had told him previously with Lucan. The other told him it was impolite not to introduce oneself, and he fought himself hard earlier before having said a word. The vampires heels clicked on the floor as he walked toward the plant mage, dread still filling up within him, it would seem he would have his answer soon. Salem felt a slight tug on his shirt and immediately knew he had messed up, ok so he may be one of those- The thought was cut off as Salem was flung into the air and on his back, his head hitting the wall behind him. He slowly and silently got himself up and into a kneeling position, silently listening and observing his instructor as he spoke to the room.

	When finished, Salem said nothing, fighting back the urge to even acknowledge what had been said to him for after all, Count Noila never permissed him to speak nor did he request an answer. He merely asked him to try again. Salem clenched his fist, his knuckles now white from the tension. He quickly fought in his head on if he should present his hands for his failure, but the Count had already walked away amidst the chaos of him being tossed. He stood up and walked out of the classroom and just outside the front door, closing it behind him. His hands trembled with anger as he choked back words and reluctantly knocked on the wood with his middle knuckle. [b]Knock knock knock[/b] Just three times and then silence, awaiting permission to enter the room once more. Salem would either be punished for not asking for punishment or for poor performance once more in potentially not understanding the meaning of try again.
