[color=#c9a0dc]“Alright!”[/color] Ankaa answered with a grin, pumping the air in victory, even though only Misaiya had agreed so far. Then she was distracted by the boy’s question. [color=#c9a0dc]“I was hoping I could ask them to draw a mythical beast of some sort,”[/color] she commented, rather eagerly.

[color=#c9a0dc]“Hmm, I’ve only been in some on a trial basis last year, since I wanted to try out many,”[/color] she answered, her shrug and smile for once hinting at a slight embarrassment on her part. [color=#c9a0dc]“However, I did not commit to any. I intend to do so this year, though I’m still undecided,”[/color] she noted with a shake of her head. [color=#c9a0dc]“There really are a lot, you know! Sometimes I think there are more clubs than students,”[/color] she chuckled, obviously exaggerating. 

[color=#c9a0dc]“Any activity you can think of, there will likely be many clubs dedicated to a specific aspect of it. For example, there are several clubs for hand-to-hand martial arts, each dedicated to specific techniques and philosophies. Then there are some that focus on arranging duels or tournaments, others are concerned mainly with self-improvement, spirituality, or health, and so on. It’s tough to pick just the one, and you’d have to be very efficient to be in multiple ones,”[/color] she explained.

Ankaa was so absorbed in the conversation with her classmates, she was rather startled at professor Nyx’s voice resounding in her head. [color=#c9a0dc]“Aww, we were just about to get in front,”[/color] she complained, though her tone was light and not deeply regretful. Orders were orders, after all, and there would always be other opportunities to see those students paint. 

As the trio made their way back to class, Kress orated a short but concise lesson on the matter of Arcane paints, to which Ankaa listened attentively without interruption. Only when it was clear that the blue-haired boy was finished, did she comment. [color=#c9a0dc]“That’s fascinating! I had no idea that a portrait could actually be some useful. You know a lot,”[/color] she offered with an appreciative nod to the shorter male. 

[color=#c9a0dc]“I wonder how specific the information about a person can be,”[/color] she muttered, more so to herself, though still loudly enough that her companions could hear. [color=#c9a0dc]“It could be a decent alternative to the standard check-ups of patients, especially for those with chronic conditions who choose to stay at home…Though I wouldn’t be surprised if the existent runes and charms couldn’t be surpassed by a painting. Especially if the painter’s perspective muddles the accuracy,”[/color] she rambled quietly, inhaling audibly once she was done.

Ankaa finally registered Alstein’s last question with a slow blink. [color=#c9a0dc]“Oh, ah, yes, definitely,”[/color] she said, regathering her thoughts to the present situation. [color=#c9a0dc]“I’d love to, I have plenty of questions,”[/color] she agreed with a firm nod.
