"Nothing like that, no. Don't worry, you're not in trouble."

Professor Estelle clears her throat.

"Well, you see, we've seen your test results. Your combat scores and theory tests are among the highest in the second year. Professor Greyhame speaks highly of you."
"As it happens, one of the students in Class 3-F has had to transfer to the general course for personal reasons. A shame; she was talented enough to graduate with the others."
"However, Professor Greyhame has been petitioning for a while to have you transferred a year upward, since he feels he has nothing left he can teach you. Seeing as you're also among the oldest in the year, you'd be right at home among the third year students. Having reviewed your performance throughout the year, I agree with his assessment."
"However, I should warn you that we will be expecting you to perform at the standard of a third year student, not a second year. Should you choose to take this opportunity, we will be expecting great things out of you. You will also need to decide quickly, because the headmaster would otherwise like to offer this place to a transfer student."
"So. Are you up for the challenge, Astrea?"

"That's the thing about people, no? Always wanting to find something to believe in. Worshipping someone who's probably not all that interested in worship. Not that I'd know, but the Sculptor seems like the humble type."

Professor Ververs shrugs.

"Well, 'knowing' is an interesting word for it, but yes, I'm familiar with Sculptor studies."

Lin
As Lin arrives at the forges to help forge the new weapons, she sees Freddie, already hard at work. He motions to some weapon parts left in a neat arrangement on a nearby workspace.
"Heya, Lin. The Professor told me to leave the harder stuff to you, so he told me to set aside the more intricate works. Said you'd appreciate the challenge. So, you folks beat Class 3-C pretty hard in training, huh?"

Reeve
Reeve finds that the statue of the Sculptor is, as always, pristine, depicting a tall, slender hooded woman, immortalised in marble. Something about it seems to imbue her with strength, as if the very visage of the Sculptor herself could reinforce one's very being. Given her power as a Goddess of Creation, why not?
"You know, they always make them too tall."

Professor Ververs leans against the doorframe leading into the shrine area.

Arnett
"Heya, Arnett! Nice to see you out of your room for once!"
Annika cheerily greets Arnett as he walks into the greenhouse.

Kruger
As Kruger trains at the training rooms, he notes Steven practicing his swordwork on a well-used dummy. The Harrigan scion nods back curtly, before going back to his training.

Orrel
As Orrel makes his way to the training rooms (the most likely place to find Theodora), he finds her in mid-spar with Katarina. The grey-haired rabbit girl seems to have been put on her back foot from the moment the fight started, and crouches on the floor, wielding a training dagger in one hand, as Theodora wields shield and spear.

"....you're quicker than I expected."
"You're not so bad yourself."

Katarina makes for a swift slash upwards, attempting to duck an attempted thrust by Theodora, only for the spearmaiden to deftly lock Katarina's knife with her shield in a fluid motion, before sweeping the rabbit girl's legs out from beneath her. Almost as soon as she finishes, Theodora frowns, before putting down her shield and offering Katarina a hand up.

"You need to be a little less predictable on the offense. Your weapon isn't designed for that kind of assault."

Katarina, after a moment of wiping some dirt off her face and staring at Theodora, exhales and takes her hand.
"....thanks."

Astrea
As Astrea wraps up her work, she finds Professor Estelle at the door, waiting for her.

"Astrea? May I have a word?"

"Good to hear. Class dismissed."
"Sounds good, Rika! Mind if I help out?"
"If anyone else requires medical treatment or would just like to speak, I will be in the infirmary."

As Master Seals are, technically, badges of achievement, they don't actually confer any real power. Regardless, Keith crushes his and feels....empowered.
Quote from: Keith
Keith promotes to Pugilist!
Keith is now a Pugilist!

The hooligan seems to recognise Keith, and makes to attack him as he poses heroically, only for the wrong end of Jarvis' spear to smash him down into the floor. You can barely make out a "For Sensei" as he leaves consciousness.

Yliss is somewhat successful at beating down one of the drunken merrymakers. She is even more successful at irritating the lady in white, who simply shoots her a sharp glare, unable to retort.

"Oh, don't be so dramatic, I know what dying people look like! Even if you were dying, I could just resurrect you! You're fine, you're just......wait. Is that even possible for an artificial person?"
"Huh? What is?"
".....you're kidding me, right? For a supposed genius engineer, you're not very smart considering it just HAPPENED to you."
"....oh."

1626
"Now that you mention it, I could really go for a meal myself."
Kaya nods.
"'sides, Class 3-C owes us a pot of cash, don't they? Maybe we could put that to a celebratory meal!"
"Yeah, I suppose we do. Even if I'd have liked that to have been a LITTLE less one-sided."
Kaede grumbles and scrounges up the money.
1000 thalers have been added to the class allowance for this Free Time period.

1627
More crashes issue. The Chiefs that accompanied Junius stand up.
"Boss, are we fighting?"
"Do you Warriors have this side handled?"

1628
"As it happens, yes. The first years all broke the training weapons when one of them used their Arte by accident during an exercise. We have a large amount of new weapons to be making today. If any of you would like to come by to assist, I'll compensate you for your time."
"I'll drop by when I can, Professor."

1629
"About the only person I've heard who's beat her in a straight fight was Steven. That is, if you can catch her when she's not doing the thousand other things she's doing. Like running training classes for the first years, or sparring with Katarina. Or 'training' with Andreas. Dora's a real jet-setter."
The tone with which Idunn says 'training' with Andreas is the same sort of tone one might say 'make-out session' or 'romantic slow dance'.

1630
"Your preferences are not necessarily ever going to work out. In any case, Olivia here will remain the only model of her type for a while. The expense in the creation of her intelligence core and the armor plating used to make it difficult to break her means mass production of her would be too expensive, even for the Order. At least, until it's cheaper."

1631
He spies Theodora as she seems to be having her wounds patched up by Andreas. A strained look crosses Andreas' face and he falters, prompting her to say something, presumably along the lines of "Don't strain yourself".

She looks back at Orrel and nods curtly, before turning back to Andreas and helping him towards Olivia.

Idunn smiles approvingly.
"Dora, huh? You've got your eyes set high. Her combat class scores are better than yours and she's won....how many tournaments now? You wanna spar with her that bad?"

1632
Idunn takes Orrel's hand. Despite her hand being rather larger than Orrel's, she's...surprisingly gentle.
"It's all in the posture. Can't punch if you don't know how to move when you punch, right?"

"I will administer treatment to Miss Chatgeant. Please hold still. This may sting just a bit."
Olivia wheels herself over to Cattleya, placing her hose before spraying a cool, orange-tinted spray onto Cattelya's wounds. A sharp, tingling sensation emanates from the areas sprayed upon, followed by a cooling one, as if mint had been rubbed over the wounds.

The pain begins to fade away, along with the wounds.

Olivia wheels herself back.
"Treatment complete. I would recommend visiting the infirmary later to see if there are any internal injuries I missed."

Professor Ramsay walks over to Olivia, patting her on the slab. He seems almost proud,
"Olivia is a personal project of mine. A learning Automaton, one with intelligence equal to that of a person. As you know, Hiroshi Toshiba created the Automata. He and I have been collaborating on creating sentient Automata for a while, given my experience in Alphinite work and, of course, he and I are old friends. Olivia here is the result of our efforts, a medical Automaton able to dispense healing Alphinite bursts as and when necessary for first aid purposes. When we send you on the field, she'll be deploying with you to gain more field experience."

1633
Professor Ramsay looks....well, he doesn't look much of anything with his helmet still on, but you get the distinct feeling he's torn between irritation, genuine concern and exasperation.
"...we can't wait for the medical staff. Olivia, we'll need you here."

"Is there someone in need of medical assistance?

The sounds of wheels trundles over the wooden floor behind the group, accompanied by a faint hum. Should anyone be looking to see what was approaching, they'd see what looks like an Automaton on wheels, exposed gears whirring across its back, a hose attached to the front, and a slab of white steel housing a single, red Alphinite eye. A small speaker to the side projects the sound of a young woman's voice, soft and pleasant to the ear.

The automaton wheels itself up to the group. Its eye seems to be studying you, despite it being inanimate crystal, and the hose attached to its front waves around, as if in greeting.

"Medical Automaton Model Curette at your service. Please, call me Olivia. Where is the patient?"

Wind or Anima?

1635
Orrel, putting up a confident front while realising what exactly would happen if he put himself right next to a very strong Andvar, takes the range advantage.

Idunn is defeated!

As Idunn falls back, rearing back to strike with her fist-
"Halt! Sturlusdottir, you're done! The exercise is over!"
"Huh? That quick?"

Idunn looks almost....disappointed. She lowers her fist.

"Guess that's game. We're having a do-over sometime, Orrel."

Despite the threatening words, Idunn seems to be jesting.

Professor Ramsay doesn't move from his position.
"Class 3-C, you put up an admirable fight. Ballesteros, you made good use of the terrain with your vines. Sturlusdottir, your tenacity is....admirable. Kokkinos, you held out well."
And then he turns to Class 3-F.
"Class 3-F, the victory is yours, but.....that was incredibly risky tactics with Chatgeant. If it weren't for our facilities here....you cannot rely on using her as a bomb in the field. Regardless, Sokolov, your performance was as expected. As was yours, Weylan, despite your unfortunate stumble. All of you did well, and there are also lessons to be learned. I will call in the medical staff shortly to patch up any residual injuries. Clear the floor. We're done for today."
