The heck? How am I even supposed to memorize that?!

[Nagi madly flips through his spell book, flopped out on a mushroom on the third floor, wearing his black shirt and pants. More like angrily laying on it, unable to keep this stuff in his mind long enough to memorize it. It took him years to memorize his lightning spells. Having to relearn to ice was just as difficult. And yes, his pronunciation was horrific and stilted in a way only a person with a English accent could pull off.]

Does Greek really need to be that hard??

Fine, next! Latin...

....god, I'm still bad at Latin too.

Immitte. Okay, I can remember that word. Immitte. Immitte. Immitte. Got it.

Maybe?

[He finally gives up, yelling loudly to anyone who can hear.]

Tell me someone around can speak Latin or ancient Greek! I'm about to die over here!

Comments

[2wei]

I don't know how to speak either of those. [ Hi, Nagi, it's your new student who's just managed to stumble upon this... ]

But is it really that hard?

[bestworstdad]

You know what they say in school. Latin is a dead language and learnin' it will kill you.

[Yes, it's really that hard. Thankfully, he's just teaching her how to use magic in combat and not new spells. Lord.]

[2wei]

Fujimura-sensei never said anything like that at school... though I only know two languages. [ They kind of taught her German when she was young. ]

[bestworstdad]

Oh yeah? What two languages does this kid know?

[2wei]

Just German and Japanese. Fujimura-sensei's been teaching me English, but I don't know that much English...

[bestworstdad]

Oh? I can speak Japanese and English. Test me, test me!

[2wei]

Well, I've been speaking in Japanese this whole time. [ As far as she knows. Shit's weird. ]

So... maybe... hello? [ Yes, she just said 'hello' in English. Because that's one word she knows. ]

[bestworstdad]

[Everything he says right now is in English.]

Hello! How are you?

[2wei]

Um. Um...

[ She's shuffling rather awkwardly, muttering under her breath in Japanese: ]

What was it again..? I am doing okay. [ Her English is stilted, but at least it's pretty decent. ]

[bestworstdad]

[He starts laughing and patting her head. And speaking in a language she can understand.]

Good, good! You're like a proper student!

[2wei]

But that's because I am a proper student. [ Though she slightly flinches away at the headpatting. It makes her feel a little uncomfortable and reminds her of something that she doesn't want to be feeling right now. ]

[bestworstdad]

...can you even do your multiplication tables yet?

[2wei]

I do! I know how to do it! [ She may not be as smart as Miyu, but this much she can definitely do. ]

[bestworstdad]

What's 13 times 27?

[2wei]

Double digits?!

[ Thanks for being so kind, Nagi. ] Um, let's see...

[ Give her a moment. She's going to grab a stick and draw some lines on the ground. It seems to be something of this nature. ] So that's one ten, three ones that way-- and then there's two tens and seven ones that way. If I count the intersections of this one...

[ She counts on her fingers and writes it all out with an inquisitive hum. ] It's 351, right?

[bestworstdad]

Beats me! I failed out of school when I was six so I don't know that stuff.

[Don't ask how he managed that so young.]

[2wei]

... Why would you ask a question you don't know the answer to?

[bestworstdad]

Just to see if you'd complain or not, I guess!

[2wei]

... That's why?

[bestworstdad]

I don't see the problem with that.

[2wei]

... I suppose. [ She shrugs her shoulders wide without a care in the world. ]

So, are we going to train today, Nagi-sensei..?

[bestworstdad]

What, you'd like to start now? I can do that, kiddo.

[2wei]

Yeah! I've been training every day since I got here, so I'm always ready.

[bestworstdad]

Alright then!

[Nope, no warning at all. He just swings a punch at her face.

Yeah, if she can't react in time, he'll stop himself but it's all part of the test.]

[2wei]

[ Illya wasn't ready for that, so she has no chance to transform. However, she does manage to jump back right at the split second of that punch before invoking a partial Prism Trance only causing her hair decorations to change slightly. ]
