10th Rise of the Phoenix ஜ Action/Voice

[Filtered from Selphie | You can probably hack this by just sneezing]

How many of you have gone to school? I don't mean studying about something specific like magic to be a sorcerer or however that's done. I mean a general school, with several classes and a lot of hours sitting on a desk doing nothing but listening to the teacher. Do that type of schools even exist in your world?

[No, he hasn't been thinking about the whole school thing since his talk with Selphie about it. No, he's not asking because she seemed to find it kind of important or at least useful. And that filter doesn't mean he doesn't want her to know that he's starting to be interested, because he isn't. Definitively.]


[After making that post and talking with whoever cared to answer, Ikki will be found wandering around town. He doesn't seem to be in a great mood, which isn't unusual but those that know him even a bit will probably notice that he seems to be in a worse mood than normal. He will be accompanied by his per, the wolf cub Hyoga, which will be running around happily and playing with him.

He will also end stalking wherever Selphie may be. As well as those he knew and the people from the "family" he got for ten days, but you won't see him bothering to go to talk to anyone unless they notice him first. Really, he had decided to pay no mind to the experiment and just throw it to his back, like everything else that bothered him. It was easier that way, to keep moving forward and not look back. Don't worry about the stalking, it's nothing serious, it's basically just that if they are outside and around Ikki will spend several minutes somewhere around them in a radius of ten meters doing virtually nothing besides being there.]

Schools like that certainly exist in my world, but I never went to one.

[uccellodifuoco]

[That makes two, him and this girl.]

Have you ever thought of not going to them as a bad thing?

[intangible-girl.livejournal.com]

Well, I always wished I could go. But I... couldn't. So my father taught me at home, and I studied a lot on my own.

I did go to a year of college, before I came here, but that was graduate work, so it was mostly doing research instead of listening to a teacher all day.

So to answer your question... sort of?

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

No, it isn't quite like that...or even here. Children learn a trade early, where I'm from, so their training is pretty focused. The rest is taught at home.

[Voice]

[uccellodifuoco]

Hn, that sounds similar to what I had. We were trained specifically for a job, so we didn't need anything else. We did study the alphabet and numbers for the basics but nothing beyond that.

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Summoners have to hone their talents early, so there isn't that much room for anything else.

I went to school in my world. I enjoyed it.

[Voice]

[uccellodifuoco]

For how long did you go?

[Voice]

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

Ever since kindergarten. Thirteen years.

[queenly-valiant.livejournal.com]

I went to boarding school--in fact, I was there right before I found myself here.

[uccellodifuoco]

How old were you when you started school, Lucy?

[voice]

[magicwarding.livejournal.com]

I went to that kind of school, but it's been a while...

[voice]

[uccellodifuoco]

A while? How long?

[You don't sound extremely old...]

[Voice]

[semper_cogitans]

I was educated, as nearly all Terrans are, in a comprehensive scholastic setting for much of my lifetime.

[Robert pauses slightly, before adding:] Ah, but it was rarely sitting there and listening to a teacher. Rather, classes were far more immersive and intuitive than that.

Does your world lack an educational system? [It's a sincere question, though it probably comes off as pedantic.]

[Voice]

[uccellodifuoco]

"Immersive and intuitive"? How was that?

[Honestly all he knows from school is from when he was at the orphanage and how they imparted lessons there. Oh, and the times in which Guilty wasn't beating the crap out of him and leaving him almost dead. But those lessons were more exciting if only for the issue of Ikki getting them after another beat down -though not as bad as to almost kill him-.]

Not really, I know there are schools and all. I've received basic education on the alphabet and numbers, but ever since I was little I was picked up to be trained for a specific job. So I never had to attend to school or learn anything else than what I needed to know to fulfil my given duty.

[Ikki doesn't care if the question came off as pedantic or not. If he cared about people judging him for this he wouldn't have bothered to ask.]

[Voice]

[consultmybooks]

For well over ten years.

It drove me absolutely insane by the end.

[Voice]

[uccellodifuoco]

[Ikki can't help but laugh at that.]

With the things you have told me about your world I'm not sure if I should take that literally or not.

[Vincent is similarly attempting to put that time behind him, so he hasn't actively sought anyone out to discuss... that experiment. Still, upon noticing his former 'son' around, he pauses in his tracks.]

...Ikki?

[uccellodifuoco]

[Vincent could have ignored him, Ikki wouldn't have minded. He's not there to be noticed, he wouldn't be there if it wasn't because of the stupid powercap which makes him unable to track a specific Cosmos as fully as back home. There he didn't need to even be in the same country to know how Shun and the others were doing exactly.]

Hn, good day.

[He would add the name but... Honestly he never really got it, did he? Other than "father" and he had never met him before so he can't know.]

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

Oh, there are a few. But they were hardly for everyone.

[uccellodifuoco]

Not for everyone? Are they just for rich people or something like that?

[godbent]

Of course I did. It's a fact of life in modern Japan.

[uccellodifuoco]

A fact.

[Ikki snorts.]

Sure it is. At which age did you start it?

[lost-koneko.livejournal.com]

Kirimi go to kindergarten!

[uccellodifuoco]

How old are you, kid?
