This was a real knight's academy. After graduating from this high institution, you became a real knight of the realm. Depending on the connections you made during your time, you might be offered an invitation to join a specific knightly order. Otherwise, you were an errant knight. That meant that your job was to go all around the realm to be useful. Doing noble courageous deeds would be the way you would justify your monthly stipend and respect in the kingdom. Alice was a big centauress. She had the lower half of a racehorse. This country had lots of things to do. There was magic, melee combat, archery, artillery, equestrian fighting, tactics, cartography, classics, and piloting. Mechas and planes were used by the elites of society. As a centauress, there was no way Alice could fit in a cockpit. Her lower half was already a horse, so their offered equestrian fighting class would be the same as the regular melee combat. It was fine with Alice. If anything, she could make those strong bonds with the pilots. In this giant school, there had to be some losers that could pilot it that she could manage a bit.
Her schedule had restoration magic, melee combat and archery on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Alice also had lessons on artillery, equestrian fighting and tactics on Tuesdays and Thursdays. That was fine. Each class was an hour. For the Players, that was really just a minute. Instead of listening to a long lecture, you got to play a small minigame. You had to do well on them to get the exp. for the day. There were also days that were devoted to sparring. This was used as their school's assessment process. It was because they wanted to be very hands-on. It was a Monday in-game. That meant restoration magic, melee combat and archery classes. The teacher was a female nature fairy. She flew around the room and was no bigger than Alice's fists. It was then that she gave a few introductory remarks before the minigame began. It was the beginner course so all it involved was a very big pose simulator. A pose was shone in front of Alice and she had a certain amount of time to get in that position. A really easy task when it was just hand motions. Those were somatic components for spells.
After Alice was done, she got the exp. for the exercise. She was able to level up. There was some time to herself before the next class. It was the time you were meant to explore an do stuff with others. All NPCs were able to be quest givers based on how they were treated and what motivations they had. Alice was pretty curious about the piloting courses. She made her way over to the part of the campus where the hangars and classrooms for those courses were. Just like she had initially thought, there were both genders taking the class. Some guys in the class that were getting lessons on how to pilot the transport helicopters looked like they were not getting it. After a hour, the class was over. There were some guys that looked really pitiful as all the others filed out. Alice would come back to see what they were up to later on. She was plotting here. Alice needed guys she could manage and get to a higher level. Losers were one thing. There was already was a big dichotomy between the nobles and the regulars. Alice needed some with potential. If there was none, they would be dead weight.
