Vlad was certainly not overly fond of this. Teaching was the one thing that those involved in casting did only once they were Old which was something that was Vlad was certainly most not! She was a young woman in her prime. Not that it would matter. She would stop aging at four hundred and would be young until the day her organs gave out. A deep breath in. A deep breath out. Retirement from adventuring wasnt so bad? Was it?

She wore what could of nearly passed as a Victorian dress.. If it wasnt altered to fit her unique frame. The shirt had a high collar of lace that then dipped down low to show her ample cleavage full of light ruffles that made up the texture of the gunmetal grey top. The back of which was large enough to allow her wings to pass through with ease. Her skirt was layered and it also held the mock Victorian style of the bustle, but instead of a full one it was done in a way that allowed Vlad to stick her tails through. The skirt was black in color and went down to her mid calf and it like her top appeared to be made of silk. She wore sip on sandals that contradicted but they were comfortable and matching black..

With the few minutes that she had remaining she put her hair up in a sloppy bun as she waited for her first students to arrive. Looking around the room her eyes settled on two skeletons at the back of the room.. One was a large one of a minotaur while the other was a semi crushed one of a human that appeared to be held together with screws and bits of metal.

The rest of her room had various remains, jars, and vials, and lots and lots of books. The largest of which was a dark grimoire with a stitched cover and what appears to be a skull under the actual cover.

Taking a deep breath she turned and began writing on the board in sweeping decorative letters.

'Magical Studies: Necromancy'

Despite Rosetta being intelligent, sometimes she couldn't stand her classes. Today happened to be one of those days. Her favorite class, Spellcasting, was right after her required class, Magical Studies of Necromancy.

Rosetta has tried to learn more about Necromancy on her own, but to her it was very confusing. She'd be one page in a book about it and she'd already be lost. So of course Rosetta was not excited for this required class. However, being the person she is, she decided to still try her hardest at it even though it's probably going to make her want to rip her hair out.

As she walked down the crowded hallway, she finally found the classroom with the correct room number outside. The door was open, so she walked in and sat in a desk that was in the middle of the class (not front or back).

When she placed her school supplies on her desk, she looked up to see a young woman, who looked to be the teacher. She never expected the teacher to be so young (especially in something like Necromancy). She politely said good morning to the teacher.

Hopefully the class won't be as bad as she thought.

Wesker glanced down at the small slip of paper he was holding, it depicted the room number as well as the name of the class. 'Magical Studies Necromancy.' He scratched his head as he tried to remember why he'd signed up for this class. What would he gain from learning necromancy? Was it even possible for him to use it? He'd exhibited no ability with magic thus far, would it be like learning an instrument or something?

Regardless, he was in the class now, so he'd best be sure to be on time. He stepped through the door only a few minutes before the class was to begin, but now that he knew where the room was, he could be earlier in the future. His unsettling smile was aimed around the room as he took it all in. His notice was first drawn to Rosetta in the middle of the room, and he began to walk towards her before he was stopped when he glanced up at the teacher.

This was odd... Not unpleasant, but there was something... What was this? For whatever reason there was something profoundly interesting about this teacher. Wesker slid into the seat next to Rosetta with the greeting he would have given her. He just kept staring, examining Vlad intently in an attempt to figure out this anomaly of a feeling.

It was Le-kzen's first day as an official Magic major!

Along with her Political Science requirement list, Le-kzen had a customized list of Magic classes that she needed to take in order for her to graduate. Necromancy was part of her majors. She needed to take at least two units of Necromancy, according to this list.

The concept of studying Necromancy was greatly exciting to her. She didn't think anything could ever spoil the experience... until she found out that her 'Professor' was the woman that sang under common at the Picnic.

Her first thought: Shit.

Before the woman could recognize she was a drow, she pulled her bunny hoodie up, wrapped a bandana around her mouth and covered her eyes with sunglasses. She needed — she needed to get out of here without drawing too much attention. She stayed at the seat at the back row, hoping not to get noticed.

As Rosetta entered she smiled warmly and nodded in response to the greeting that she received. Only once everyone has piled in did Vlad clear her throat and stand taller than what she was prior. Turning she wrote her name on the board.

"Good Morning Everyone. My name is Vladahlia Shialeavar. You all have permission to call me Vlad. This is Magical theory of Necromancy. This is the sister class that is directly linked to Magical Application Necromancy After dark. As you can guess, the other class that I teach takes place after the sun has set."

With a snap of her Fingers.. One of the many ravens that were sitting up on the high cabinets flew to Vlads desk and picked up a stack of papers before flying over to everyone's desk and dropping a paper on each persons desk.. It then stops and lands on Zen's desk before snuggling against her.

"That paper that I delivered to your desks is a list of ingredients, errands, and of course events that I will be holding that if you are in need of extra credit for either course of mine then you will be able to participate in them."

With this said she stood and walked around between the rows of the room and looked at her students as she passed. Upon walking past Zen she pulled down the younger elves hood and, upon seeing the silver hair and dark ears of the drow she asked softly in under common.

Why hide young one?"

With a clearing of her throat she began to speak to the entire class once again.

"There are going to be some expectations that I have for everyone and I do urge that you obey these restrictions some are meant for your safety. First, any food that is brought in will be confiscated and potentially eaten. Secondly, slang will not be tolerated. I am from a alternate dimension and I do not fully grasp slang from this world. Thirdly, technology devices will be taken and tossed into a mimic until the end of the day. My mimics are trained to bite and if you try stealing your device before I request it... You will join your device.. Inside of said mimic.. Fourthly, DO not and I repeat.. DO NOT touch my grimoire otherwise known as my spell book. There are spells in there that can and will do massive harm to people. I am a powerful caster and my spells are not meant for young ones like yourself. Lastly, Do not destroy the things within my classroom. Many of them explode, while others like the skeletons in the back of the room.. They are precious to me."

Walking back to the front of the classroom she sits down upon her desk and sighs out a bit softly. Looking up she traced her eyes along the barely held together human skeleton and the minotaur skeleton a frown on her features for a moment before it faded. With another clearing of her throat she got a bit comfortable.

"Now then. We are going to go around the room and say a little about ourselves. Like what we are, who we are, goals, aspirations, likes and interests... Family."

Her last words trailed off as she looks at a picture upon her desk and puts it down without another word about it. Before picking up her class roster.

"Starting with you Rosetta."

Sebastian was late, he had decided to go for a run in the morning and completely lost track of time. He had only gotten a chance to quickly dip into the shower and get into his singlet and jeans before racing off to class, grabbing an apple on his way out of the room. Dipping through the other slackers who were late for class he finally made it to the room with the number on it he was looking for. He patted himself down and put the apple in his mouth as he opened the door, being a History Major he had a few electives and this class seemed to be something interesting and something that could maybe help him with his powers in the long run.

He walked into the class biting down on the apple as the young looking lady who seemed to be the teacher was talking about electronics, moving across the outskirts of the desks he made his way to the back of the room taking a bite out of the apple and taking a seat. "Sorry" He said setting his books out on the desk and putting the apple on the corner of his desk.

From the way the teacher spoke she sounded like an old woman trapped in a young girls body, saying she was powerful which lead Sebastian to believe she had many years of experience. He looked around the class to see only three other students, it seemed that Necromancy was not something everyone enjoyed.

"Mr. Sebastion so kind of you to join us. As you have missed out upon hearing If there is food brought to my classroom it will confiscated."

She paused only long enough to reach snap her fingers, causing another raven from flying from atop one of the many shelves towards his desk and snatching up his apple before bringing it to Vlad. Whom promptly takes a bite out of it.

"And eaten before your eyes."

She stated before chewing and then swallowing. The same raven fly's back to his seat and drops down a piece of paper before going back to its original starting position.

"Before I forget. That paper is a list of things that you can do, participate in and of course do for me for extra credit."

Vlad stated before continuing to eat his apple until it was gone. Not even the core remained as she waited for Rosetta to speak.

She didn't know what to do. Vlad had just asked her to talk about themselves, and Rosetta isn't the best when it comes to talking in front of a class. However, from how she handled that other kid, Sebastian, she knew she had to say something.

It seemed Vlad didn't play.

Rosetta slowly stood up from her seat and started to speak, "Well, my name is Rosetta Souline. And..." She felt stares from other classmates, and it made her even more nervous. "And...I guess you could call me a Mage; I also like to practice my abilities to get stronger...when I have spare time..."

She thought that it was enough information, so she quickly sat down and looked down at her desk, trying to avoid eye contact.

Damn, why do I have to be so nervous?

Wesker blinked and looked away from his teacher as Rosetta began to speak. His unsettling smile quickly resumed it's place on his face as he let her speak. A quick glance around told him there were two new arrivals, though it occurred to him that he'd already noticed them just... not registered that they were there, how odd for him, he was usually acutely aware of his surroundings.

A glance at Rosetta revealed her discomfort at being the center of attention. Once she was finished, he stood himself taking a moment to straighten his clothes as well as roll up the sleeves on his shirt. Perhaps the sounds and voices would help ground him from this odd feeling. Placing a gloved hand across his body, he bowed slightly to the class.

"I am Wesker Straundlin. My abilities are of a transmorphic nature. I aspire for many things, not the least of which is to be as well informed as possible. I am interested in Whatever rumors are drifting around, while I do realize they aren't the most trustworthy sources, as well as the origins of many of the individuals and creatures here. Hobbies include dancing and the violin."

He thinks for a moment, taking in the faces of his classmates while doing so, lingering slightly on each on through the rest of his introduction. "I... was, heir to the Corporation of my parents, my standing now is indeterminate." He then sat down, folding his hands and glancing back at the two behind him.

Almost immediately when it was pulled down, Le-kzen pulled her hoodie up again and crossed her arms, thinking of multiple escape routes and weighing the pros and cons of each one.

Here was a list of things Le-kzen hated: Drows, and personal questions. While Vlad wasn't exactly a drow, she could speak like one, and she knew exactly how they functioned. If Vlad was an assassin hired by the mercenary companies or the families she swindled out of important contracts, she should kill her already and stop playing this damn game.

This was bad.

This was so bad.

Her anxiety began acting up. She couldn't really focus under these conditions. She covered her mouth with a hand and began reciting the spell for her mind-influencing spell. There was a flash in his mind, so she knew that when she talked, people with no great magical or mind influencing resistance would be influenced by her words.

"I'm sorry to cut this short..." She picked her backpack up and did a bee-line for the door. "But I just remembered, I have the wrong class. Silly me! I signed up for Pyromancy, not Necromancy! See you guys later!"

She was listed in the class list. She didn't care. Maybe if she didn't say anything, she wouldn't get noticed.
