The teacher is (kind of) in

[frozenloyalty]

Potions (Any year)

[Aidou had been a teacher since the start of the term. He still didn't quite get it why he had been sent to this world, but he had managed to adapt and make up a background story for himself. The biggest problem was that he still hadn't made his bloodtablets good enough... which he would have liked to focus on instead of classes.

Well, nothing says he needed to be in the classroom...]

The rest of the lesson is now going to be self-taught. I stayed up all night working on these classes, so I need to take a quick nap... I'll be back by the end of it to see how you did.

[In other words: figure things out yourselves. Of course he can be called from the backroom, where he is either napping or really working on those bloodtablet recipes. Especially any explosions would alert him.

And yes, he intends to leave even the 6th-7th year students by themselves with the advanced potions.]

Outside classes (wild card option)

[Aidou is usually seen patrolling around the dungeons whenever he needs to be. Sometimes, he does leave the dungeons (to eat and to visit the teachers' lounge) but mostly he's very secretive and not very visible in any way.]

Comments

[frozenloyalty]

[This time, Aidou was about to take a nap when the knock effectively woke him up. Ah, of course someone would need him at some point. Quietly he walks over to the door and opens it.

Oh, at least it's the cute girl.]

What is it?

BSing this because there isn't enough info on the draught itself...

[enchantressofore]

It's this passage, about how you're supposed to brew it -- I want to make sure I'm not misreading it, since potions can be really finicky about how they're prepared.

[ Better to be careful than to let it blow up on them, right?

She's holding up the instructions in question, indicating where she's having trouble understanding since it just seems worded poorly for her. Hopefully he can at least clear up that much so that she can brew the potion well... ]

[frozenloyalty]

[Aidou looks down at the text, nodding to himself a few times before sighing.]

Looks like it's a misprint on authors' part. If you change the wording a bit around... like this. [He uses a spell on the book and the words go into another position.] That is how it should be done.

I will make a note of it for the whole class so we avoid catastrophes. A good discoveri, Miss Milani.

[enchantressofore]

You'd think someone would work on these more carefully.

[ Adela frowns, feeling one of her eyes twitching before she sighs and shakes her head. ]

Thanks... I mean, you have to be careful with potions right? I pride myself over it being one of the few things that won't blow up in my face.

[ And she doesn't intend to give him the chance to ask, instead going back to her workstation and pointing out the text fix to her partner so that they can get on with brewing. It should turn out okay from this point, with finely prepared ingredients thanks to steady hands.

By the time class is done, Adela ends up bottling the potion from her own cauldron as well as her partner's, labelling them accordingly so that they know whose is whose. It's about time to grade them for the day too, and their potions should be perfect, but that's really up to the professor isn't it? And she doesn't know how he grades things yet... Hopefully it'll be at least an E, if not an O. ]

[frozenloyalty]

[The result of Adela's is definitely O. Aidou smiles at her, as he hands her the grade.]

Observant, and skilled. You truly are a fantastic student, miss Milani.

[enchantressofore]

I... Not really, it's just easier than other subjects.

[ Ack. She has to look away, a little embarrassed before shaking it off. It's true though, she's never really had problems with potions even when she fell behind... ]

There's still a lot to learn about them, too. So, uh, right. Bye.

[ She's going to leave the class in a real hurry now eep ]
