That got them hyped!  Alexandra caught blade after blade after that, but it appeared the island-man had won long before she was done.  Still, young wizards could be quite motivated by exotic eros; Alexandra knew how to keep the motivation coming!  When all was said and done...<br/><br/>"Alright, that's enough for the first class; keep practicing, figure out what works, and if you need to spar - which is a good idea - I recommend buying one of those wooden toy knives kids like to play with.  Regardless of being toys they work miraculously well for sparring and practice purposes... Class dismissed!"<br/><br/>And Alexandra would stay behind to pack up the axe and the knives, before sighing at the end of her first class.  Better than it could have gone, worse than she'd envisioned.  It was easy teaching monks and martialists; this was... something else... she needed to get things sorted for her next class; she couldn't remember her schedule yet, again it was different.<br/><br/>Before that though, maybe she'd go to her office.  And by 'her' office she meant go see the headmistress wizardess and her friend!
