Can't help but think that we'd be that one teacher that's really uptight about safety measures. If it wasn't against the articles I could easily see Mathilde occasionally counterspell Eike's magic just to teach her how to deal with miscasts.
You need to test for:
...is the plot hook that finally brings Mathilde's family back going to be Wilhelmina deciding to find out why Mathilde never got visitors?!
Pretty much. On the one hand, she needs to know how to deal with things when they go wrong. On the other hand, a large part of that is having proper safety measures in place.
And if she hangs out with Mathilde for long, she's very likely to pick up a few personal projects by then anyways. She could start her Journey and be done in a couple years just clearing out her own backlog.
...That would be hilarious. Sad, but hilarious.
Since Gehenna ( the second ) graduated from battle wizard to Lady Magister I believe Johann had a LM master.
Look I need the 'see how far she's come and how little this Hero Of The Empire needs you pathetic bigoted bumpkins' scene, okay?
Reminder that the Journey is meant to put them into real environments, make do with limited resources, and develop themselves independently of their Master.
Must you use my heartstrings as a harp?
We really need to customise that thing. Plush seats. Soundproofing. Unlimited fuel. Death rays. Just the basic amenities.
Presumably the same would apply to pagasi.
And all of them are invariably overworked.
Title drop.
And she takes a moment to remind herself that Mathilde had a Very Bad Time when she awakened to magic.
Ha! There are few things as worrying for a low-to-mid level bureaucrat as having your ultimate boss stroll in and demand you ledgers.
This is a surprisingly touching moment. Too often magic is reduced to just spell lists and stat blocks. It is good to get a more… intimate perspective once in a while.
What did I say about heartstrings?
I'm pretty sure Antion has a lot more connect with her, he lives closer and is the type to invite friends over evey chance he gets.
On top of that a large part of this update was just how rare are wizards.
The muse has not been cooperative for anything in over a month, so you'd be waiting on that for a while. The last decent omake I managed for any quest was... checks ...literally last year, fuck.
I'm reminded of those fireball rings that the Brights lent their Journeymen.
Okay, that's a fair point. On the other hand, I really don't want her blowing up. Or rolling on the Arcane Marks table and picking up something nasty.
... Holy shit, we're already getting hugs. This is going to be awesome.
She'll definitely be able to always afford Windsoak mushrooms, if we were so cruel as to make her buy them.
...You do that, and it is one hundred percent going to be a familiar animal. Ranald would never miss the chance.
Pretty much, and like 90% or whatever of the Brights went straight into the army. Probably far riskier than anything other journeys involve.
The thing with Tehehauin is that he's explicitly weird, and they aren't even sure if it's actually the same skink every time he pops up.
Wait it is?
