Sophiel Sargute

The past few weeks for Sophiel were filled with disappointment. Not for the class, Professor Nyx was a good teacher despite his general cold demeanor towards everyone and everything that wasn't himself. It was her performance in class. While she did well in the physical aspects of it, the mana flow meditation training went as expected. To put in a simple, casual way she was shit as it. It would seem that Professor Nyx shared that same sentiment by the looks he gave her whenever she failed at a simple mana flow exercise. It was the expected result if anything, though she did feel like she was getting a small smidgen better.

Aside from class, she tried to help Kiara with replacing her book but it seemed like she had it handled. Perhaps, she could help Kiara at another point of time. Nothing of a note happened aside from that. She went out with her roommates to buy ingredients and tools for the kitchen, she did some maintenance in their dorm room, and she joined the Yearbook club. While there other clubs that she would have liked to join, she wanted to check out the club for personal reasons.

Awaking very early in the morning, she got up from her bed. Today was an important day as today was their first mission. Professor Nyx had announced it yesterday in class. They were to pack any essentials that were needed for the trip, which Sophiel had managed to obtain yesterday after class was dismissed. The mission was simple. Find the thieves, apprehend them, and deliver them to the city guards. Granted, it was going to be easier said than done. They did manage to steal an artifact from the academy and got away with it, for now, which was a great feat itself. "Though, they won't get away from me," Sophiel muttered to herself with a smile of confidence as she continued to pack her things.

After finishing up dressing up, cataloging their necessities, and eating a good morning breakfast, Sophiel decided to practice her mana flow meditation the way that Professor Nyx taught her. There was a still plenty time in the morning, Yvain and Mandi shouldn't be up any time soon. Walking to the common rooms she shifted about a little. "Okay, step one..." Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes. "Envision the mana within yourself," She muttered in a trance. The light green of her mana flowed within her, this was the step that she always got right. After a few minutes she proceeded with the next step. "Now reach deep inside," Sophiel muttered, her voice tracing a small amount of doubt. Inching closer as if she was approaching a small animal, she proceeded to tap into her mana. But, just as soon as she tapped into the it, it retreated away. She opened her eyes and sighed.

"What am I doing wrong?" She asked herself. "I listened to what the professor said, yet I'm still at a loss?" No matter how hard she tried, no matter how hard she sang, it always came out with the wretched failed song. She could only perform 'Inconsistent Chorus,' and nothing else. She was doing something wrong and she didn't know what. "I guess, I'm just a lost cause," Sophiel said with an uncharacteristically deprecating chuckle. As much as Sophiel would like the mope on her failure, she noticed that it was almost time. Well, almost time for her. She had to run a few errands and would like to arrive at the station ten minutes before the actual time. Leaving a note behind to tell Yvain and Mandi she was departing, she left the dorm after she grabbed her coat and essentials.

Soon arriving at Genelogia Station, she decided to wait at the entrance to meet up with her classmates or the professor. The place was crowded. She had to wait perhaps an a hour and, exactly, ten minutes before they departed, but didn't she mind. She could practice, and fail, at tapping into her mana pool. With that, she waited for anyone else to get here.

Sophiel Sargute

Sophiel gave a sad smile and shook her head. "Unfortunately, I did not manage to beat Ms.Bastion. While I did manage to trade blows with her, she managed to get the upper-hand over me." Not to mention that she had accidentally broke Kiara's tome in the first place, but then again it was her decision to use it as a shield. Nonetheless, Sophiel felt obligated to help Kiara replace her tome. Aside from that note, Yvain was now here. A smile crept onto her face as the girl bounded over, her cheerfulness was rather infectious. Though there was a sudden pang in her heart, which made her smile fade.

"Ah, Yvain, We- Woah!" Slightly stumbling back from the force known as Yvain, she straightened her posture immediately. "Yvain, please do be careful, as much you are happy to see us it doesn't mean you have to throw yourself at us," Sophiel said with a sigh. Someone could have been hurt. "Though, I agree, we should be happy that was passed." After separating herself from the mighty hug of Yvain she found herself arm to arm with her, along with Mandi who on the other side, Yvain proposed they'd have dinner together. When asked what she wanted, Sophiel shook her head. "As much as I would like to have dinner, aren't you tired from your match, Yvain?" Though there was another problem alongside with cooking dinner. "And, I don't think we'd have the ingredients to cook."

As they made their way into the dorms, Sophiel spotted Yvain waving at the frog. Paying it no mind, she continued forward with her three friends arm to arm. Looks like the Class Camelia Dorm wasn't as luxurious as the one for Class Marigold. She didn't find any pest anywhere near the dorms, but it would look like she would have to take more precautions for them now she was in Class C. Entering inside the dorm with Yvain, and Mandi, the dorms looked like a poorly kept apartment if anything else. "We should change our clothes. Especially you, Yvain, your clothes damp." Sophiel said before departing to her assign dorm room.

Looking at the names listed underneath the room number, it was oddly convenient that all three of them were roommates. Opening the door, she entered into the room and checked it out. The room itself had everything that her previous room had aside from it being downgraded due to lack of maintenance. Spotting her belongings laid in a corner of the room, she picked them the bag containing her clothing before locking herself inside the bathroom. Not before long, she emerged out of the bathroom with a new set of clothes on her with her, now wet, hair undone.

Heading towards the kitchen, she made way to check if they had anything in the kitchen cabinets."Perhaps the next time we get together, we can cook dinner together. I've done a little cooking in my spare time." She looked towards Mandi, "How about you?" Sophiel asked the water mage curiously. Cooking was an essential skill in life. If Mandi didn't know how to cook, then she would teach her what limited knowledge she had in the field.

Scratch every thing out, I am dumber than a bunch of bricks.

World Beyond the Lexicon

Oh gosh, I need to name them all quickly.

World Beyond the Lexicon

Okay, here I go.

World Beyond the Lexicon

Y'know, Blu, how many students were expelled? I want to give them generic names.

Speaking of which I was thinking maybe we should redecorate the dorm and then I realized we have the perfect person for the job!

We have Kress! With his creation ability, this shabby little dorm will no doubt be changed over the year.
