It's mid afternoon at the DWMA. It's a Friday and many of the students are either already checked out mentally, or happily chatting away with one another. Below them, in the lecture space, a young woman, late twenties to mid thirties at most, is trying to get the attention of the class. She's dressed sharply in a brown business suit, matching hosiery, and dark heels. Her piercing blue eyes, seemingly stuck in a permanent scowl, survey the students before her from behind a pair of round rimmed glasses. Not  a single blond hair sits out of place on her head. She once more tries to get the attention of the class with a sharp, "everyone settle down now!", to no avail. Suddenly, the corner of her mouth twitches up in a semblance of a smirk. Suddenly, her right arm melts into an envelope of red light.<br/><br/>WHITASH!<br/><br/>WHITASH!<br/><br/>WHITASH!<br/><br/>She snaps her arm, now a long whip. at the row sitting closest to her. Not quite close enough to hit anyone, but close enough to silence the class.<br/>"I said, everyone settle down now," she says in a much sweeter voice, satisfaction evident in her smile. "That's better. I'm your substitute teacher for the day, Kaori Howaru, and todays lecture is on...oh, let me see, where did I put that lesson plan..."<br/>She rifles about for bag for a couple of moments before shaking her head. "Well, looks like I somehow misplaced my lesson plan, (again) so I guess we're just winging it today," she announces, before turning to the board. She then proceeds to teach a lesson, albeit not the one that Sid had intended. She manages to effortlessly jump from topic to topic but still manages to teach a cohesive lesson. By the end of the lesson, the board is covered in topic matter from at least 3 subjects, including the one she was supposed to be covering.<br/><br/>"At least she showed us how it's all related," Sheila whispers to Rey.<br/>WHITASH!<br/>"Quiet during class," Ms. Howaru declares with another dramatic snap of her whip. She glances at the clock and shakes her head. "Looks like we're almost out of time. Before I go, you have a homework assignment. Each of you are to select a mission to complete with another team.  This is supposed to be a team building exercise, so consult with your partners about who you want to team up with." she declares. "Oh, and don't pick any of the red starred missions. Those are for teachers only."<br/><br/>Suddenly, the bell rings, announcing the end of class. "Alright everyone, Ms. Paws will be in shortly for todays Witch History lesson. I'll see you in class on Monday. Be safe out there!"<br/><br/>As she walks out of the class, the students burst back into conversation.  Eclair's partners look at her from either side. "I'm not against working with anyone, how about you," Kirsch asks Aria.<br/>"I'm good with whomever Eclair chooses," she replies with a shrug.<br/>"Well. You heard the girl, the choice is yours, Eclair," she remarks.<br/><br/>
