CLASS TIME!

[Welcome to class with Myers! It's easy to feel intimidated by her, and if you aren't intimidated by her, the sound of her whip cracking will probably send a chill up your spine.]

Just because you're new doesn't mean I'll go easy on you! Drop and give me fifty push ups, and I don't want to see any bent knees, you hear me? You don't want to be a sixth level kodor forever, do you? Because I'll make you pass the iktiyar if you like it or not!

[She walks around more, cracking her whip again. Maybe she almost whipped your character.] Don't you dare even think about being absent tomorrow!

[That whip cracks down right to the left of him and Russia fights the urge to jump, instead finding it prudent to study the scandalously dressed person in front of him. Well, he had to guess she was strong, and if she was talking so highly maybe she could even back that--!

Doesn't mean he does the push-ups immediately though.]

And what do you think you're doing? If daydreaming made you stronger, we'd do it, but it doesn't, trust me! [She cracks her whip again a little of its static possibly being felt by him.]

[Maybe it's his soldier training, and his time period, but Russia snaps to attention at her voice and the crack of the whip (though it doesn't draw a flinch) has him side stepping. That said, it clearly looks like she's not afraid to use that and he warily drops to do his push-ups.

It's a good thing he's in pretty good shape, Tannenburg wounds all healed up for the most part.]

One, two-- [Looks up at her, curious, as he keeps on keeping on.]

Good. Stepping in line in this classroom will save both of us a headache and troubles ahead.

[Look at him being a good nation---!!! Gonna work through those push-ups easily.]

Is this our daily training?

Yes, and you better prepare yourself for some more if you know what's good for you. You want to level up, don't you?

[Latvia couldn't help but let out shrill squeak at the whip. This seemed more like abuse than education, weren't there rules against using physical punishment? Either way, he didn't feel like he was in any shape to give that many push-ups]

U-um... Can I be excused? My arm's still healing and I don't want to agitate it.

[He pulled up his sleeve, hoping to show the light scar that had formed there. Of course it had been completely healed upon arrival with only a light mark as proof of its existence but even that should have faded quickly for him. All in all it was just a convenient excuse]

Let me see that. [She looks at it, adjusting her glasses. It's hard to read what she's thinking, but she doesn't look happy.] If that one arm hurts, I suggest you do one armed push ups instead!

[That's really not an improvement at all. Maybe it would be better to just go with what he was offered first but he feels like he's annoyed her enough already and Latvia would rather just come back another day. He started to tremble a little, avoiding eye contact]

A-actually, could I be excused instead? I-is there a nurse on campus I could see?

[Myers doesn't appear to be very impressed with these excuses and she holds her whip loosely in front of her and orders again,]

The nurse isn't going to be able to help you. Don't think I'm going to go easy on you just because you're a little guy-- [And she tightens it with a snap. Was that lightening crackling? ] --because that is exactly why you need to strengthen your body!

You can be excuse after class! Now, start counting.

[Latvia flinched at the crack of the whip and without thinking started to count. Nothing else, just counting as he stood there and trembled]

One! two! three...!

[She cracks the whip again.] Don't look so scared! Do your push ups proudly and strongly! You're training to become powerful, and being physically and mentally powerful is important!

C-could you just give me a moment? I don't do well under pressure like this!

Don't work well under pressure? Well this is your chance to fix that! Now hurry up, work hard, and don't you dare give up! [She cracks her whip again.]

[And with that he droped to the ground, giving a meager display of upper-body strength. He could already tell that this would be one of his most hated classes]

[There was so much here to be intimidated by, Poland's not sure what he should be terrifying him first.]

...oh my god forget being absent tomorrow, I totally want to be absent today.

[But ditching tomorrow sounded good. And ditching the day after that. And the day after that...]

What was that!? [She cracks her whip near him.] Well too bad. We're here to learn and become strong, not lounge around and become the next king of the couch!

A-ah! [That whip landed a little too close for Poland's comfort.]

Watch where you swing that thing!

My aim is spot on for your information, but it's time for you to start acting like a proper student.

I refuse. [ no hesitation there - none at all. ] I don't really get what you mean by kodor, but being sixth doesn't sound all that bad.

Being a sixth kodor isn't so bad? And that you refuse to participate in class activities? [She starts to laugh, which is a warning sign. It all changed when she gets a terrifying look on her face and she cracks her whip.] There is no such thing as the word refuse in my class unless it's refusing to not work hard!

[ scary as this lady is, Rin is hellbent on not doing this!! ] Idiot, just because I'm refusing doesn't mean I don't work hard! I just don't wanna do fifty pushups - that's too many!!

That's right! Refusing means you aren't doing any hard work at all!

Give me fifty or give me fifty more! I don't hear you counting!

You know, I'm not sure about the uniform, but I think I'm starting to feel a little better about this whole experience.

[Roy cheerfully drops to knock out the fifty pushups with good rhythm and efficiency.]

Louder! I want to hear you counting. One, two, three...! [Have a loud crack of the whip over Roy. Was that thunder cracking somewhere or was that her whip? ]

That's... slightly less encouraging. Can I emphasize again that I'm completely on-board with all this physical training?

[Nevertheless, Roy -- familiar with the sort -- starts his pushup count at 1 as he continues to perform them. He's not particularly intimidated by the whip, since he's got way more hit points than that thing could ever deal as damage, and a whip cracking overhead isn't much when you're used to a mace cracking in your flesh.]

Then let the dream of becoming stronger encourage you. Maybe you could help some of your fellow classmates, too.

I'm still a couple of levels off from advancing a stat, but I'll keep that in mind. So long as it won't be considered an encroachment of authority, I'll be happy to help where I can.

Don't worry, you're nowhere near encroaching any of your teachers' powers. What's your name? I should remember the name of an ideal, model student.

Roy Greenhilt, ma'am. Sixth kodor... uh, Strength magic.

[ FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD. Why does this woman have a whip...?! Saber's face doesn't budge as she doesn't want to show any sign of being intimidated... In reality, she definitely isn't. Though it's true to say she's wondering if these are similar to the classes Shirou and Rin take. Even with some general idea of what school is, would they have to deal with teachers of this degree of deviance?

Being obedient due to her position and her mind set on refining her skills, she gets down to do... Push ups.

Except she doesn't have the strength her prana would give her and this new magoi thing isn't as efficient. Either way!! Practice makes perfect, but her small frame isn't fit for doing this kind of work. The cracking whip isn't exactly a good benefactor at the moment either.

She... definitely isn't in a good mood after having to take orders and noticing how subpar her physical abilities are at the moment. ]

( Myers is fully aware that these exercises aren't easy for everyone but obviously, getting down on your knees and doing them isn't enough, )

I don't hear you! Is this what your voices sound like? Show me your best! One, two, three...!

[unfortunately, Tazendra was out drinking and picking fights when 'sensible caution around skilled and armed authority figures' was being handed out]

And what is that supposed to teach us?

You, of the sixth kodor, are the first in line to drop out of this academy. If you don't improve, you'll be gone in two months!

I will teach you the things you lack so you can succeed and what you lack-- She holds her whip in front of her, pulling it tight,-- is physical strength.

Now drop and start counting!

I do not lack physical strength.

Then prove it! I'm waiting, and trust me, I'm not patient when it comes to these matters.

Well, then, I will!

[and starts doing pushups while counting -- she does seem to be in good physical shape, and have enough upper-body strength to manage a decent pushup.)

[She watches, looking rather satisfied, but she cracks her whip anyway.]

You can do better than that, can't you?

I can most certainly try!

[Tazendra is now taking this as a challenge. It may be dangerous]

[Oh, this can't be good for his back at all. He can feel the pain coming already and it hasn't even been ten minutes into the first class. He tries to put up a show, making it look like he was doing fine, but every now and then he pauses to place a hand on his lower back.

Still, that outfit... If he wasn't in the situation he was now, he'd suggest that she wear less obscene clothing.]

[Yeah the chainmail battle bikini is kind of horrifying, Hama will have to agree with you there. But she does do the push-ups, if only to avoid drawing attention to herself in a hostile environment. She doesn't have any trouble with it, but soon notices the man next to her struggling. In between Myers' crazy shouts, she pauses to ask:] Are you all right?

[Between the two of them, there will be a loud crash as Myers' whip strikes the ground, leaving a steaming, destroyed patch of earth.]

I didn't say you could take a break. Fifty push ups and I want to hear you counting!

[China turns to look at the unfamiliar face. He puts up a shaky smile and laughs nervously, keeping his hand at his back.]

Ahaha... I'm perfectly fine, it is just a little sore, that's all, aru.

[But really, he's not fine. Then the crazy woman had to go and crack her whip, making him jump. Not wanting to risk getting another scar on his back, China reluctantly goes back to doing his push-ups.]

十五. 十六. 十七. 十八. 十九. 二十...

[Only thirty more to go.]

[Hama also jumps at the nearby whip crack, but the steaming earth where it struck catches her attention. That's no ordinary whip - she can imagine that steam coming off some unfortunate student's skin, if it were to hit them. Discipline is one thing, but threatening your students with flogging and burning? Some of whom, like the one next to her, may already be injured? ... Unacceptable.

Although perfectly able to continue, Hama stops altogether and moves to a kneeling position.]

I will not.

[She cracks her whip when she catches him slowing down.]

Tired already? We can't have that!
