Synna couldn't help it this time, she just outright gawped at Aoi in disbelief.  "There are people who do that?  Since when?"  She had never heard of any mage who had done anything similar.  Her own training in the physical had been done to supplement her magic but...  "I guess it would be a bit vain to think I'm the first actually...  I suppose there must have been others in the past."  She gave a grin.  "You'd know all about that wouldn't you, being a history person and all that?"<br/><br/>The question was a rhetorical one and Synna carried on talking without waiting for a response.  "I have next to no mana, and I've had to work hard for what little I do have...  I barely belong here as is since my spellcasting is so weak.  I just don't really have anywhere else to go at this point." A more pertinent question occurred to her.  "Come to think of it you never did answer me.  Do we have uniforms or not?"
