welcome to Eldritch Academy
In a world of myths and mysteries, the pinnacle of the magical academies exists. Eldritch Academy offers education to all ages and species but specializes in the study and training of one's innate mystical capabilities, often called Eldritch Energies, Powers, or Unknowns, but more formally known as their Talent. However, tensions run high with the nations only holding a fragile peace as the Talents that rival the epitomes of technology change the balance of power.
With the more recent uprising of evil Shades and introduction of combat-oriented programs into Talent-focused schools, nations grow more aggressive towards one another. The demand for resources grows, and skirmishes at the border of Arka and Mistere become more frequent. Monsters run into the nations from the Wildes, terrorizing villages and cities. The need for trained or in-training Hunters and Guardians has never been more urgent.

The classroom for Merlissa's classes has always been vastly different from her fellow staff members. Her subjects can be easily taught on paper, which surprised the Yu Fu when the school agreed to her hands-on live demonstration classes instead of the usual books. While the teacher was still relatively new, her natural talent and charisma allowed her to shine. Plus she had a great friend by her side, a Cernun named Beatrice, who was also the school nurse.
So Merlissa thought it would be a great opportunity to have Cernun be the topic of today's class. Merlissa had a fair share of Cernun culture, since Beatrice only made vegan meals and sometimes her friend's hulking dad would come by and visit his daughter, often bringing Merlissa into the mix and giving her really strong muscular hugs. However General classes would be more on the overview of the race itself. With so many out there to cover, her curriculum had no fixed race list to teach, so Merlissa was free to choose at her discretion.
Merlissa checks her watch. Her friend will arrive soon. Making sure everything was in place, the classroom was set up to let her Cernun friend take the stage. While she was confident in her friend's control of her powers, Merlissa made sure a protective barrier was set up to protect the students. The center stage had five circles, each containing something different. There was a pile of coal, a pool of water, a flower pot with dirt, and a simple small windmill. The students will understand the reasoning behind this set up soon. So as the students flood in, Merlissa sets the rules like she always does.
"Good day class! I am Merlissa, your teacher for Species Studies. While waiting for my guest to arrive I ask those hear to listen, and inform any late comers of this as well," Merlissa cleared her throat. "When in this class, I expect no racism. I have eyes and ears everywhere so don't think I won't catch on. Everyone here is to be treated with respect. You as students are here to study the species that are part of our society, not belittle our foundations. With that out of the way, do not worry for attendance for I have golems on said task, check with them after the lecture if you aren't confident that they took you down. Late comers even if they come today will be marked absent after 10 minutes of grace period to arrive." Merlissa stared sternly, with two things on her mind. One was that she hoped she got her message and rules clear, the second was were was Beatrice... |

Ryse Azar stepped into the classroom, notebooks in her arms. The class hadn't required any textbooks, but she would take notes on what was taught nonetheless. She would never be able to remember all that she learned if she didn't write it down. Thankfully, it appeared as though she was on time, and perhaps a little early as she seemed to be the first student in the room. Part of her couldn't help but be relieved. It spared her from curious eyes that would be on her. Nobody knew what she was - except for the teachers perhaps - but that didn't make the uneasiness she felt fade away any quicker.
The seventeen-year-old gave the Professor a shy smile; she was never good at introducing herself to people she didn't know. Professor Merlissa kind of reminded her of a species her mother had mentioned before called a mermaid, with her fish tail. She wondered if that was what she was. According to her mother, mermaids had lovely singing voices. Would she get to hear her Professor sing? That would definitely be interesting.
She gaze immediately went to a desk that was by a window, and she sat down in the seat. As the warm sunlight hit her, she felt some of her anxiety ease away. Her shoulders relaxed, and her anxious thoughts ceased for the moment. Sunlight always did wonders for her nerves. And she always preferred sitting somewhere where she could look outside if she needed to. After she opened her notebook and took out a pen, she looked around the room, taking note of the shield around the desks and chairs. Was the class going to be dangerous? The teenager certainly hoped not. It was then she saw the circles holding different items around the stage. She noted that there was a pile of coal, a pool of water, a flower pot with dirt, and a small windmill.
Giving a small hum, tapping the pen against her chin in thought, she looked at the items with intrigue, drew each into her notebook, and wrote:
Different Elements?
- Coal= Fire.
- Pool= Water.
- Pot of dirt= Earth.
- Windmill= Air.
Would the lecture for today show how different species controlled different elements, she wondered? It was possible.

Tonight I'm gonna come alive |  Words: 000 Tags: @name Notes:  Stuff | Adjusting to a school life was nothing short of an accomplishment if anything to Sakura. It wasn’t really too hard considering she’d done it before and odds were that she wouldn’t have to worry about such endeavors or being a misfit in the surroundings of this school as compared to any prior one she’d attended before. But back then, she was one of two things; normal and dying. As.. normal as you want to consider dying of course, but still to the point. Still, not many of her classes required text books, and the ones that did she had made sure to use light books or the classes provide them for her.
Unfortunately, the small doll was unable to hold much weight aside from a couple pens and a notebook to write in, and even then she found writing was a chore to do with her hand. Thankfully, she had her ways around doing such things and with a bit of practice, she made her calligraphy even better than she could do with her own two hands. It made note taking and multi-tasking a much easier chore as well. The teachers words spoke out as she popped her way into the classroom so suddenly following the bell ringing and thanks to her small stature, she wasn’t sticking out to other students to have been coming a little late to the class or just in time... maybe fashionably late?
Trying not to really abuse her curses power in order to fly or float her way into the class was a bit more tedious, but it was what helped her feel more comfortable in a newer setting, so for the time being she’d continue to just do this until maybe her class distances were too great for a porcelain doll to travel by her own foot. The first thing she managed to getting to a desk was to place her supplies on top of the desk before having to climb up onto the seat and letting out a small sigh. Brushing off her dress and assuming it left no part of her body free to the sight of others. No matter how much time passed, Sakura could never feel comfortable enough to stop hiding the doll like body underneath her Victorian style clothing and assorted dresses she kept. After spending so long in them, one tends to feel more comfortable in them than normal attire, but that was purely her feeling. She couldn’t say much for the Yokai that resided inside of her currently blacked out from a drunken escapade. | be your friend past 9 to 5 |

The school nurse was finished with her last patient. Most of the more likely to have injuries happen classes are over and luckily that meant she could casually stroll to her friend's class. Beatrice then receives a notifcation on her phone. It was the Golem again. Beatrice wondered how Merlissa was still so independent despite using her talent almost twenty four slash seven. The message was a simple one, and it threw Beatrice into a panic. The nurse was suppose to be there now. Beatrice was about to slam her face on her desk when she remembered her precious horns. Giving them a gentle rub and apologizing to her precious horns for nearly harming them needlessly soothed her guilt before the nurse got up and went out with break neck speed. Halfway there the school bell rang, Beatrice cursed to herself. Merlissa was going to kill her.
Upon reaching, the Cernun breaks through the door and surprising a golem who stood there. Patting the big guy she pants and makes her way to her friend, who she believes is unhappy with her late arrival. At least ahe made it before the ten minute grace period was up. They had rehearsed the procedure before. The Cernun takes the fifth circle, the largest and the one surrounded by the four items in their own circles. The nurse gives a bow before removing her lab coat. She would not need this for the demonstration. Giving her friend the nod, she braces herself, and takes deep breaths as she waited for her cue. |

Merlissa watched as students begin to flood in, but no sign of her friend. So in the meantime, Merlissa checked out who she has as students. The one in the Victorian frills looks rather different. To Merlissa's memory that sort of fashion went out dated till its revival as a popular gothic style of clothing. However that was not the thing that bugged the Yu Fu. The girl felt fake, as if made from a synthetic material. It was too hard to tell from a glance. Another already seems to be taking notes. Merlissa looked at her laptop and found the camera that gave her the best view before she smiled. The girl was on the right track with her notes. About one minute before grace period ending, she hears a loud thud. What was a face of surprise turned to a face of slight irritation. Merlissa would not give this sort of face to any guest, but this one eas a special case. This guest was her roommate and best friend, not to mention the school nurse.
"Really Beatrice I thought you would arrive early for free lunch!" Merlissa spat. The students would not hear it, part and parcel of the Yu Fu's amazing throat, but the expression would give it away. At lesst her friend remembered what to do. Merlissa looks back at the class, rubbed her nose slightly before addressing the class.
"Today our subject will be the simple aspects of a very special race," Merlissa could feel her friend beaming out of view. "Today's class will be the basic studies of the Cernun, a race of horned people." Merlissa taps jer laptop key and a presentation slide of a male Cernun appears. "The males are large, strong and have the muscles to show for it. Compared to their softer looking gender counterparts, Cernun have a notably sexual dimorphism. Sexual Dimorphism refers to how the same species of two different genders differ in terms of appearance and other factors." Merlissa nods at her friend before facing the class again.
"However the Cernun are not known for their appearances, but by their prowess. I shall let my dear friend here," Merlissa gestures towards Beatrice. "Beatrice, Eldritch Academy's school nurse, do the demonstration for this part." |

Ryse had been just about to jot down more notes when she heard a sudden 'thump', causing her to nearly jump out of her seat. She gave a startled "Eep", before quickly glancing around to assure herself that the other student in the room hadn't heard her. Relaxing a bit as it didn't seem to be the case, she turned her attention back to the front of the classroom.
There was a woman with ram horns standing in the fifth circle on the stage, whom the professor introduced as the school nurse, and that she was a species called a Cernun. She took a few notes on the species and their appearance differences, then looked back at the nurse. Did Cernun have a special ability of some sort? Perhaps something involving the elements? She would only have to wait and see.

Notes:
Stuff | It took the doll a good moment to get herself comfortable in a position such as a hard chair like this. Normally, she has cushioned seats, couches, or her own bed to sit in, but despite the issue of feeling no pain what so ever.. or rather having the inability to feel physical things, the only discomfort came from her sight. If things seemed to look even the slightest bit tilted or off balance, she would know. Still to the point, it took her a moment to almost squirm in her seat until she could find a point where she felt most comfortable sitting on the chair to be able to concentrate and focus the most. It then seemed without further ado, the teacher would begin with the class studies without so much as a moment’s wait for anyone else. Oh well, the loss was on them.
A faint black aura would lift Sakura’s pen and she would manually open the book with her own hands. Opening it to a perfectly blank page in her book titled at the top as “Species Studies”, has started to jot down notes in it as her eyes kept to the front of the class. Part of the ‘blessings of a curse’ she assumed? Minuscule things such as being able to write like she used to, or even more so perfectly than before she lost her ability to use everything. Yet, she couldn’t help but be a little enamored by the penmanship she could achieve sometimes.
The very sound of the demonstrating nurse gave her chills. She figured at some point she would have to get a physical as well as anyone else, but the idea of having to be open towards her was the more frightening part. Sakura quickly shook that idea from her mind and tried to regroup herself on the classroom topic, the doll raised her hand, the pen freezing in place just above the notebook. ”Assuming aside from the horns and possible more nature-esque personality depending on how one is reared, would they say.. have the same lifespan or a maturity cycle as normal rams or the humans they appear to look similar to?” Her question would only utter should she be called on, but between the few students currently in the room topped with her tiny reach, she wasn’t sure either way if she would be called on, but it was worth a try. | be your friend past 9 to 5 |
