Sure, you chirp as you graciously lean into your new professor role, what’s happening on campus today anyways? Any big events?
The receptionist stares at you for the briefest of moments… Did you say something wrong? Is that a weird question?
“Well off the top of my head…” She muses as she retrieves one of those tablets from her side of the desk that TT loves so much, “Two new sections opened up for Applied Illusions… or did they? Erm, the planned excursion to the Deepcrags has been postponed due to projected instability within the Molegg Independent Burrows… the Beastology Department reported that the Kuugutii egg clutch they were tending to finally hatched this morning–two-thousand healthy young, each boasting fine venom viscosity and appetites… aaaand it just so happens that the Beastology Department has several new openings for research assistants!”
“D’aww…” Purrs Toppel with a flick of her tail, “They’re so cute when they’re still teething~”
“Adept Planar Studies Classes are canceled for the day–or at least until Senior Staff can ascertain where the wing was transported to–Student ranking updates are set to be posted at the end of the school day,” Guuchri adds with a sigh, “Euch… so much catching up to do…”
Rankings, huh? Who’s #1? The Chytree shoots you a chiding glance.
“Come now, Professor–you know we don’t publish names publicly anymore!”
As if on cue, the lobby is <span class="mu-s">ROCKED</span> to its very foundations as a spell rings out across the room behind you! Whirling to face the source, you watch with wide eyes as a wild-eyed Durher floats amidst the scent of freshly-seared meat, his eyes flickering with residual magic as heavy breaths leave his lips!
“P-<span class="mu-s">POWER!</span>”
His victory speech is cut short as a sound akin to a crack of lightning rips across the room–rending through a faint vibrating defense the mage had around him! The victor has but a second to put on a goofy expression before he <span class="mu-s">ERUPTS</span> in a shower of viscera that drenches everyone in the immediate vicinity!
From above comes a menacing cackle, followed by an abrupt gurgling as the caster is caught by another unseen assailant! Meanwhile the rest of the students go about their leisure while Teksouls descend from above to dutifully sweep up the fresh messes!
Still trembling as the chaos continues in the wings above, you turn your attention back to the desk with a forced smile as the receptionist barely looks up from her list!
“Oh, and today’s PULLGMA DAY in the Gastronomic Wing! Good thing I skipped breakfast!”
Err, you mutter as you take in all the info, any news on, like, Teksouls? Or, um… that Toppel person?
Guuchri barely stifles a giggle as the Durher next to you shoots you a glare that could carve through diamond! “HAH! So you heard, did you? Never liked her much. Between you and me I was just pretending to be her friend… she didn’t have many here, y’know.”
>CONTD.
