I would say Eris x Nyx but both could care less for each other.

We’ve got a shipper in the class.

Ty really dodged a bullet from Eris. Or a bolt in this case.

A solid two weeks or so had passed from that fateful first day and, thankfully enough, nothing too out of the ordinary happened. Professor Nyx, shrewd as he appeared to be, wasn’t too grueling of a teacher. Nor was Class-C as rife with bad luck and ill omens as their rumors gave them credit for. Truly, at least to Kiara, the greatest challenges came in trying to negotiate between her roommates. She could still remember that first night when she came home, only to find Sekhandur had moved all their stuff to one side of the dorm. She could also faintly remember Sanhan was already passed out, leaving only her to explain decent spacing.

Over the course of their tutelage, she ended up having to go to the student resources center within the academy to replace her tome. Oddly enough, they seemed all too eager to follow with accommodations once she explained what class she was from. Thus, she held now a new Mytal Tome, one composed more so of reactive metal that would harmonize and unleash her mana. Considering their recent classes in mana flow, it seemed appropriate enough, though she couldn’t help but feel the book was…hollow…

Those thoughts aside, it was a never a dull day for Class-C, especially now. Apparently, their professor thought it was fun to give them all some real-world experience, signing them up to catch two thieves hiding out somewhere in Genelogia. Supposedly, they stole a rather important magical artifact straight from the school itself. How two meager thieves were able to slip past Avalice's defenses and guards, Kiara couldn’t even begin to imagine, and she honestly thought this was just another one of Professor Nyx’s tests at first. Or pranks.

“At least this will help us put practice to what we’ve learned,” Kiara said to herself as she headed to Genelogia Station. She packed the bare essentials, just like she was told, though the Mytal Tome still felt…wrong in her hands. She chalked it off to its different properties more than anything else. As the class rep, it was natural for her to arrive early, but all the same, she was pleasantly surprised to find some students already waiting at the station. She recognized both and soon enough, she was passing into the crowd to meet the two.

“Hello Sophiel, Ty,” she said to the pair with a small smile. Her hand clenched over her new tome and she looked directly at Sophiel. “Avalice covered the handling of my tome but I appreciate the effort you put in. Please, don’t trouble yourself about it,” she said. Granted, she still wasn’t sure why Sophiel seemed to resent her, but she hoped taking the burden of the smashed tome away would help. As for Ty, she gave him a nod. “By the way, Ty, I never got the chance to thank you. Er, it was the first day of class. About Eris? I’m glad you defended her back then, especially when she can be a bit…yeah.” She let those words hang for the obvious.

Although the good doctor appeared to be sleeping, she was actually staring blankly at a spot nobody else could see. Slouched over her desk, she was no stranger to taking creative blank periods of rest as she numbly stared at…something. Either way, her reaction time wasn’t impaired in the slightest, snapping to McNair with a speed that might have been acquainted to a GMG’s behavior. After all, no one knew such creatures inside and out better than the good doctor.

“Why can’t it be both,” she asked simply, already sitting up and stretching in her seat. Despite her minutely disheveled appearance, her tone didn’t fluctuate or change from its normal pace. And despite the dark circles growing under her eyes, she stared at McNair just as intensely as ever. “Think of it. Consider the possibility outside of your sights for once little loyal ‘general’. Goomie is nothing extraordinary. In fact, from our data studies, we can conclude she’s nothing short of average among GMG-kind.” A pause to see if McNair was catching on. Probably not.

“Therefor we can conclude that, if Goomie can change her size enough to fit into cave entrances, then it is an ability commonly shared by other GMGs. Thus, the possibility of a GMG who can do precisely that should not be ruled out.” Kusanagi reclined back in her chair, eyes unmoving and unblinking as they stared forward. “Furthermore, it is highly likely this third group is involved given their efforts to cripple us before. Striking so suddenly again will be their weakness.”

A snap of her hand and she was on her feet, standing from her desk and moving briskly past McNair. The pinkette shouldn’t have been surprised for the good doctor found it rather fun to drag her around and lecture her about the inner workings of her studies and MFF command; if one could say Kusanagi had an idea of what fun was. “There’s something else I’d like to bring into your attention. Your missing cadet aside, I believe there may be a key to linking this mystery together. A missing link, you could say.”

The MFF base layout was no stranger to them and as such, they were led back to the ramp that was above the segments sectioned off for GMG containment. Kusanagi stopped, turning away to peer through the glass and straight into the cage sectors. “Tell me commander, what exactly do you make of that,” she mused, pointing out Utena in proximity of Terrorkeat and Schrodinger’s cells. “This isn’t the first time I’ve caught her doing this, as you will remember. Nor is it the first time I’ve seen Terrorkeat behave like that either,” she spoke, narrowing her eyes right onto Utena.

Tomes are made from materials that are reactive to mana so once it has been fixed, Kiara would use her mana to recover her spells. Magic ink ftw. However, her spells will take a hit in potency as she adjusts to the newly fixed tome.

@Blu

I remember you mentioning something about tomes taking different forms other than a book. What sorts of forms were involved and what separates those from a might weapon?

World Beyond the Lexicon

Remind me again, how are tomes fixed @Blu?
