Sigils, Biffle & Henwy. Apparently, they teach swordfighting. I hope I can remember this for tomorrow. It's quite a lot.

"So we are going to demonstrate what you could learn in our class, okay?" I nod, because I really am excited.

I watch carefully, because as much as I would like to be only watching because it's cool, how they fight is crucial to how we can defeat them. Some of it seems kind of simple though, so I'll just focus on how they swing, not what they're doing.

"So, any questions?" It's Henwy who speaks, and for some reason he looks pretty darn proud. Though to be fair, all of them look proud.

"Whyisyourbit'MeIdiedforhim'whenyou'realive?"

(Yikes sorry about that)

The moment I blurt it out I want to disappear. Since when do I just blurt things out?

✨Henwy POV✨

I watch carefully. I don't normally mind being asked this question but she is a spy. A pretty darn good one at that. She seems to like here a lot and fit in. But somehow I doubt those are her intentions. I decide there is no harm answering.

"Well I did technically die, but Ian brought me back so here I am." I resist the temptation to say next question! because I don't think she would take it very well.

Sapphire POV

"With magic?!" I ask slightly horrified. As soon as I say it, I know I am an idiot. Nobody here has an aversion to magic, so I've likely ratted my self out. I hold my breath. Well not literally, since that would be very tell tale. Does that even make sense? Probably not. Hopefully these guys are all idiots.

"Yup, with magic." It's Sigils who speaks, but for some reason, he looks more glad then Henwy himself. Weird.

I decide to risk another magic question. "Do you use magic in swordfighting alot?" I hope not. I don't want to do magic at all.

"Well, if you're in magic at some point you learn how to do some of it with a sword, and Nico does a spell so that it simulates being slashed with a sword without actually hurting them. But apart from that, not really." Biffle explained.

I remember now. The tour guy told me about that. It makes sense as well. More sense than I would expect from here. But at the same time, this place has been pretty sensible.

I thank them for their time and the next teacher comes in. Some of them are cool, like alchemy? Come on, but I still only want to do swordfighting.

Finally, in comes Nico, the magic teacher. I am honestly kind of nervous because I really don't want to be in magic. If I hide my ability, hopefully he won't see any reason to put me in his class.

"Right, I want you to close your eyes and hold your hands up above your head." I do as I'm told. Surprisingly, it takes more effort to hold it back than usual.

"Now just relax for me and let whatever happens happen." What happened next wasn't my fault. What I meant to do was just relax what people can see, while still holding back the magic. Instead, I apparently relax enough to let the magic through. I hear writing. Hopefully it isn't enough to put me in his class.

Eventually he speaks.

"Right. You can stop now and open your eyes." There's a bit more, but it's just niceties at this point. I thank him, and I wait once more.
