Region: The Alliance of Dictators

Vespergale wrote:"Great to meet you all! It's so wonderful that so many foreigners such as yourselves have taken interest in our academy on this day!" Her whole body leaned to the side, and leaned towards the other side while nodded at each of the three guests, softly saying to herself with each nod, "Nephyx... giant hat Sakada... metal one Rhakely." She did it once more in the opposite direction, though this time in her mind. Lisa stood straight and tall once more when she was finished, raising her voice to her original level, "Alright! Now that I have your names memorized I think we should begin with the tour! For the first destination I think you three should decide on what interests you the most!" She began counting with her fingers, looking off a bit to the sky, "There is the wards for all the different specializations: Enhancement, Emission, Transmutation, Manipulation, Conjuration, and Specialization. The lecture rooms where the professors go over magic history and famous mages throughout Vespergale and how magic has changed society for the better. The tutoring hall, where students help each other with subjects or try to aid in forming the student's unique magical ability. Classes on how you can mix multiple magic specializations efficiently to play off of your natural mana type. Even special courses where instead of making a unique magic you try to make something applicable to industry. For example nearly all of the lights on campus and even around Vespergale I'd like to say have been made by mages of that sort. Oh, and there is also Mr. Tops. He's requested to meet foreigners interested in magic for some kind of business proposal thing... I don't really know, he blathers on a lot." Her eyes finally returned to earth. "Anywho! Any of those things interest you? If not I have even more on my trusty pamphlet!" She pulled out a pamphlet from her jacket pocket, one that she strangely didn't have out when listing off things they could see.

"Interesting, different specialties, and different mana types." Nephyx mused. "We only have the one, though we have certain inclinations that somewhat align with your specialities." The group became immersed in silent conversation before Nephyx spoke again. "We'll go see this, Mr. Tops. No need to bother the professors while they have magelings to teach." Sakada seemed to give her a look. "Sorry, students, not magelings. You'll have to pardon my phrases, I don't typically go outside the laboratories, never mind the monastery. Sakada's really the only one here with much experience in the outside world."

Sakada spoke, his voice has a soft, brassy texture to it. "What is your specialty, young one? From what you've told us, precious few here have any sort of broad skill set." The tapping of his staff on the floor was metronomic in consistency, his steps precisely placed. Rhakely had the same sort of precision in her movements, though Nephyx did not.
