Classwork - Open for All

[one_bullet]

The appearance of a wizard on campus was news, as Rinko strode to the pedestal of the lecture hall.

"Good morning class, and welcome to Ring Magic 101." She was a bit nervous but confident she could pull this off, as she held up her hand with an ornate ring on the middle finger.

"This special elective for the school is something new, something I've been asked to teach. My name is Rinko Daimon, and I am a wizard."

She picked up another ring from the podium and slid it onto her right hand. "We wizards use magic stones set into rings, and I will be teaching you the basics on how to handle, encounter, and deal with a wizard if they ever go rogue, or a phantom who might appear."

Placing her hand at her waist, a male voice proclaimed "FLOWER NOW."

Flowers bloomed on each persons desk. "Ring magic is very versatile, and comes in many forms. From utility to battle magic."

"So, be prepared to learn."

"As I said, rings come in many forms and shapes," said Rinko, picking up another ring. "A medium is used to transform as well, which is the belt I wear."

Moving into view, she wore a hand-shaped buckle as she placed a ring on her hand. "One of our powers is very simple actually."

"TELEPHONE, NOW!"

As one, someone's cell phone would go off in the room as Rinko holds a magic circle to her ear. "My world had no use for technology once this ring was discovered."

"Ah!"

Towa jumps in her seat when the teacher yells, looking around in confusion as someone else's cell phone goes off. Oh, it was...it was just part of the lesson. Silly her.

Cheeks flushing, she makes a note about the belts, then presses a hand to her chest and sighs. That had really startled her....

"As you can see, our belts are very energetic," said Rinko, placing the telephone ring on the table.

"They announce the ring in a very energetic voice, and it's often customized to our own voice."

Trying to look very small, Towa puts her notebook down and folds her hands primly atop it. One finger twitches as she thinks of a question, but would that be discourteous?

"Now I know that some of you must be dying to know what exactly this can do. So I'll open the floor. Raise your hand and ask, c'mon don't be shy."

Rinko hoped she was doing a good job with this too.

"In that case..." Towa's hand raises gingerly into the air. "How widespread is the use of this power?"

This is the first she's heard of it. But there are so many things in the world that she doesn't know, so she really needs to prepare for everything!

"In my world, everyone has the power to use magic. It's very common across the ages and the professions. However, there are some who are born without the power to use magic."

Like the prince for example. "I haven't been on normal earth for a while, so it's unsure how many people have magic right now."

[almostanthy]

"I see." Towa lowers her hand, satisfied. Perhaps she simply hasn't noticed the magic. She'll keep an eye open. "Thank you."

She sits up a little straighter at that on instinct. Princesses will be Princesses even if they're trying to learn self-reliance.

"Well then, before we get into the course, I'll do some handouts," said Rinko, going to her case and opening it up.

"Here's a list of known rings. Your task is to find five that you like on the list, and they will be your beginner rings."

[almostanthy]

Retreating into more student-like introspection once she receives her handout, Towa begins looking it over. She'll be drawn to any rings involving fire, light, warmth, or music, and will mark them with her pencil almost without realizing it.

"The ring chooses what it wants to be in our world. A magic stone holds a spell, but there isn't any definition to the spell. Ring-makers are but one of the professions we have," said Rinko.

"Some of the people in our world specialize in divination of the rings, to see what kind of spells a magic stone holds. Others, simply prefer to cut them into rings, and let the ring guide the user."
