Fortevera was still on the table, both upset that the professor chose the wrong answer and because the sun wasn't shining anymore. Though she doesn't look at Andrael, there's no need to intimidate him. But she did have a little bit of a dreamy stare at Celine, as she gave the dolls and her a little friendly wave. At least she made one friend in the class.

"...of course, It was me."

The professor flicked to the next page of his book.

"...In this society, everything is determined through the rank of your Edeya. I've seen many-a talented hunter be crushed by society due to their poor Edeya. It's a shame, really."

The professor sighed.

"Which is why I'm here to help you. I don't believe any of you have a bad Edeya, mostly due to the fact that an Edeya cannot be bad. I'll be helping you rise in the rankings of this school. How does taht sound?"

Perfect, Andrael thought, supressing an evil grin. But she wasn't supposed to be evil anymore...

Oh well. She could be evil for two more years.

But you need to be a role model now...

She shoved the thoughts out of her mind, and met Professor Wright's eyes. She gave a single nod, listening intently.

Fortevera just raises her arm, a thumbs up. That is... all she did, still staring at Celine a little. Though when the clouds started to go away, life returns to her face and she sat up straight, smiling brightly. "Wonderful!" She exclaimed all of a sudden.

Celine was now doodling in her notebook, as Professor Wright had paused for a while, to get responses. Upon closer observation, one would notice that Celine had doodled the members of Class 2-4. Andrael was on the left, face set into a half smile, arms folded and looking serious. Kinoko and Soo-ah were next, Soo-ah’s arm draped over Kinoko, the two smiling and posing. Next was Sunghan, who held a bubble tea in her hand, partially caught off guard by the camera, hers a look of half smile-half shock. And then Alea, looking slightly nervous but overall happy to be here. Celine herself was next to be drawn, posed like a doll. Then Fortevera and Saeha, both with wide smiles on their faces, a faraway look in Fortevera’s eyes while Saeha looked mildly concerned. When she looked up, she noticed the actual Fortevera gazing at her, to which she gave a cheery smile. She gave a quick nod to the professors question, before leaning back in her chair, done with note-taking and doodling (for now).

Kinoko had her arms crossed and her eyes down. The pushed the arm around her shoulders off of her. As the Professor and the rest of the class droned on about Edeyas, she pulled out a scrapbook and began reading the bits of newspaper articles that were neatly applied to the pages.

Andrael waited for the professor to speak again, taking in her distracted classmates with annoyance. Couldn't they understand that they were already on the bottom? Every single one of them claimed to have been hurt and belittled; every single one of them had something to prove. One would think they'd be doing everything in their power to change their fortunes.

Kinoko's eyes scanned across the horrible words on the newspapers that had been glued in her notebook last. As she shut the book, she looked at herself through a small pocket mirror in her hand. As her eyes flicked from her mirror to her baton and back again. Suddenly, she snapped to attention and straightened herself, squaring her shoulders.

"Professor, as much as I believe in your words, I believe these ranks were made to have people at the bottom rise to their full potential, as broken they could be."

"explain, Cadet."

The professor calmly nodded, urging Kinokoto speak.

Kinoko swallowed, anxiety kicking down the front door of her mind.

"Well, as far as I've seen, the people I've interacted with and have had low ranks were incredibly impressive. Although it is possible that I've only seen people with low ranks, I do know that I've seen the darker sides of this area. The people there were all ranked pretty high, but the people I've seen take them down were much more impressive, although lower ranking."

She took a shaky breath, her hands delicately wrapped around the baton. Man. I suck at public speaking.

"Plus, being the best also is not thinking and working too hard at things. It could be possible that the best people are just ones with lower rankings that aren't concerned with raising their ranks. Confidence is key, right?"

"...that is an interesting statement, cadet."

The professor tugged at his gloves.

"While you may have a point, realistically, how many people are like that?"

"Very... few. Even those that view their rankings as a challenging motivator eventually realize that the ranks are a poor reflection of society's opinions. Depression, anxiety, and mental illness are related to rankings. Rankings aren't even based on hard work; they're based upon eventual predicted potential at the onset of the talent. One could train for years with their Edeya, and only ever increase from a D to a D+, a C to a B-. Your outlook is far too optimistic." Andrael responded primly.

It wasn't funny when people gave up because they could never be enough. It wasn't funny when she had to watch society beat people down by telling them their soul was F-tier. That people were worthless, that people were dirt.
It was never meant to be.

Kinoko fell silent. Far too optimistic?

She swallowed and smiled brightly. "Well, I like to think that way. I don't want to give up on anything until it's truly gone."

"I disagree fully with that mentality, but I respect your commitment to believing in the best of people."

Was Andrael being sarcastic or not? The answer wasn't discernable from her tone of voice. She glanced back down at her notebook (blank, she could memorize basic schoolwork, thankyouverymuch), dropping the matter.

Fortevera suddenly raised her hand, looking around at everyone. "... Edeyas are usually formed from past traumas and the rankings' origin can be anything, from the upper class needing a barrier to distinguish itself over to an actual grading system." She takes a deep breath, basking in the sunlight that shined upon her.

"We have Edeyas for a reason, it reflects our souls, it is a way for them to express themselves. Even if you have an officially low-ranked Edeya, every single one of them has their use! I think what Kinoko means is that the lower ranks encourage them to be more inventive and creative with their abilities. We have a Combat Rank separate from the Edeya Rank for a reason, flawed as the whole ranking may be." Fortevera's voice became more powerful the longer she went on, at the end she even had to catch a breath.

“Society is stupid and blind. My Edeya is a blessing to me, ranking or not. It helped me get through some of the darkest times is my life. All Edeyas are unique in their own right, and stronger when combined with others. Each Edeya has its own benefits and weaknesses, but we live in a [f*****] up society.” Celine mumbled quietly, as she put her pen down with a flourish, having completed her sketch of Professor Brown, Wright and Doctor Satou, next to Class 2-4. It was very out of character of Celine to swear, and you honestly wouldn’t have caught it if you hadn’t heard her speak before.

Buttercup pulls out a small paint palette, before taking out a sheet of paper and painting something. She rolled up the mini parchment, now complete with a sketch of Saeha, before stretching out her little plastic hands and handing the sketch over to Saeha.

Sasha looked at Buttercup, before taking the paper, smiling gratefully.

The professor clapped, quieting them.

"...In the end, it doesn't matter. No matter what you believe, no matter how things are sorted, there is always the opportunity to grow."

Andrael's face remained impassive, her emotions hidden beneath her usual veneer of detachment. Yet, the Professor's words struck a chord within her, resonating deeply with the complex layers of her thoughts and emotions. For a fleeting moment, her guard wavered, and a single tear managed to escape the fortress she had built around her feelings.

The tear traced a glistening path down her cheek, an unspoken testament to the internal battles she waged within herself. She brushed it away with a swift and practiced motion, her movements almost mechanical as if she were programmed to keep her emotions at bay. The tear, a tiny betrayal of vulnerability, was swiftly dismissed, concealed once more behind the mask of rationality and control.

Andrael's gaze remained fixed ahead, her mind a whirlwind of conflicting emotions, thoughts, and memories. The weight of the Professor's words reverberated through her, touching the core of her identity. Despite her outward appearance of detachment, there was an internal struggle, a battle between her analytical mind and the deeper currents of her heart.

As the moment passed and the classroom settled, Andrael maintained her stoic façade, a silent witness to the profound truth that the Professor's words had stirred within her.
It was never meant to be.

Kinoko had been watching Andreal and watched the tiny droplet. When Andreal wiped it away, Kinoko quickly looked another direction. She started to feel guilty about yelling at Andreal, but she finally decided to dismiss the tear as a trick of the light. Her eyes landed on the closed scrapbook.

Room to grow? Huh.

"That's why I'm here. I'm here to help all of you-" He pointed at them with his pen. "-grow. Climb in the rankings."

His smile was wry, the first sign of emotion he'd shown since the start of class.

"But of course, we'll have to talk about Mana Theory."

He clapped.

"Your textbooks are in your desks. Flip to page ten, please."

Saeha groaned.

"Professor... But Mana Theory is boring..."
