Rune watched the class fill up, closing his eyes with a sigh as the first sign of disruption occurred before the class even started. He didn't mind if students talked in his class so long as they weren't disrupting or distracting those who actually wanted to learn. He didn't react any further to this since the group hadn't start a fight yet and he hadn't officially called the class to order since students were still coming in. Turning back to the doorway, Rune nodded briefly to a student coming in and saluting him, watching him take a seat. He wasn't surprised when the same student raised a hand to ask a question, and asked before being called on. Before he could answer these questions, another student from the opposite side of the room interjected. Rune cast a cold glare at said student, making a mental note to speak with him as he proceeded to knock two others from their seats. He than turned his attention back to the questions asked.<br/><br/>"Rune." He answered for the lack of a name. "And as for why you're here, well that leads into your question of whether or not this is a 'gen-ed' as you so put it." The man moved to stand before the student's desk, resting his fingertips on it. "You will see that this is not just an English class but one of Literature as well, studying the texts and stories of people long since gone. Tales lost to much of the world or written in ways one would never think of." He turned and walked back to lean against his own desk once more. "And you would be surprise how few young people know proper English now a days anyway." A smile on his lips as he looked at the student.<br/>"Does that answer your questions?"<br/><br/>"And if there are any other questions please do ask, I will be here after class as well if you would prefer to ask privately." He addressed the whole class. "Provided there are no other incidents, I would like to begin." He started by reading the mandatory letter from the headmaster explaining what was expected of students at the school, as well as welcoming them to a new year. Setting the paper back down, Rune proceeded with his own agenda.<br/><br/>He described the Romantic period of history, pulling up illusioned paintings, sculptures, and various other visuals for the class. He knew other teachers would likely just use a computer slide show but he preferred the more magically inclined approach. Assigning the reading of a poem of their choice from this period for next class, Rune closed the class.<br/>"If there are any periods of literature that interest you, or that you would like to study please let me know. The class is fairly flexible in terms of content."
