One of the fairies who overheard Cassy's question flew over to her and began to answer her "Well they would, but since most of us don't eat regular food -or need to eat at all for that matter- the school expects you to take care of that yourself."<br/><br/>"Well this is weird..." Hubert said as they entered the room. There were several seats arranged in a circular pattern around the center of the room, which had a circular pool of some sort of shiny green liquid that clearly wasn't water in it and a podium to the left of it. As soon as the room had filled with all the students and everyone was sitting down, what looked like a root began to snake out of the pool of liquid. As the root snaked it's way toward the podium as it reached the podium, it began to twist and grow into a rather tall man made entirely out of what looked like a redwood tree. His hair was made up of leaves and even his clothing looked like it was made of a lighter shade of wood.<br/><br/>Opening his eyes, he smiled and said in a very deep voice "Welcome to your homeroom for the year, youngsters. You all may refer to me as Professor Birchwood. Those of you who wish to argue about the wood I am composed of may leave peacefully or be escorted out forcefully. I am the Nature Magicks instructor here. If you have any questions about the aspects of nature Magicks, or any questions about school in general, please don't hesitate to ask. Now that the pleasantries are out of the way, I would like all the first year students to give a thesis on what you know already about Nature Magicks so that I do not repeat the material you already know collectively. That is your assignment from me and it is due at the beginning of tomorrow's class. Those of you who are first years may go to your dorm until your next class starts in an hour. Those of you are returning for your second year, please turn to page..." He kept going as the first years filed out.<br/><br/>Hubert sighed as the five of them returned to the dorms with the other first years. "I honestly know very little about Nature Magicks. all I can do is trip people with magic roots and make flowers grow faster than normal. what about you guys?"
