Elysia looked at Ethalis, then, noticing a seeming paradox within the taskmaster's demands she spoke up. "Sir, Permission to speak sir."

"Wwhat is up, my friends?" Caligula asked, striding up to Josh and Leo.

Preoccupied with examining the machine, Leo replied with a distracted air. "We're considering what this device does." He placed a hand atop the machine and pressed his ear against the body. His knuckle beat a quick tap into it.

"I see that your pain tolerance is low," Stefan observed. "This is rather pitiful, don't you think? Just several minutes ago the spellbreakers were subject to pain less severe than the torment you had gone through by a fairly small margin - yet they all faced it with dignity; none of them mewled like a babe.
Get up; you still have your pushups to do and laps to run. And if you are not fast enough, if you are late to the lecture that comes after the breakfast, there will be more punishment - and you will have no one to blame but yourself."
The taskmaster turned away from the gasping elf, replying to the other one, "Granted, Flameheart."
Siber walked out of the Hall, his breath heavy but not excessively so; the running took its toll on him, but it was not that far off from, say, the times he had to wake at breaking dawn and fetch fresh water from a spring back in his days on his family farm. The scarred boy shuddered at the wails coming from the punished elf; he thought she had brought on herself with her own stupidity, but judging by the sound of her voice, that punishment was the stuff of legend. Then again, it could be that the knife-ear was all talk and simply too sissy to endure the pain.
In the end, it seemed inevitable that he and his fellows would be pitted against the bearers of blue rings, so such information could prove useful. Siber rolled his shoulders, making a note in his mind, and held his head high as he passed the Common Hall and walked into the Mess Hall.
Immaculately clean and utilitarian, the eatery was all tile, glass and metal - all of light colors. There were numerous long tables with benches, plenty to accommodate everyone on the course. Hugging the wall opposite of the entrance stretched a line of stalls with food, with the railings attached to put the trays on.
Siber's eyes widened at the sight of the staff behind the stalls - to the man they were all artificial constructs, likenesses of dwarves carved out of metal. The scarred boy whistled, but did not dally long; he was very much aware he had precious little time to fill his stomach.
The food served was bland, doubly so compared to the delicacies of the previous day's feast, but it seemed he could eat as much as he liked, and given the situation, Siber was content.

The smell of food immediately made Kim aware that she was, in fact, very hungry. She scooped herself a decent helping and, seeing that no one had yet to "crack open" a table, went to sit down in the middle of one.

Elysia stood at attention and asked the Taskmaster. "Sir, our Battle Magic instructor requests we refer to him as Curator, instead of Sir, would this supersede your order or vice versa sir?".

"There is no contradiction here; still, that you wish to remedy any possible ignorance is commendable," Stefan steepled his fingers in front of his mouth.
"In his joyous manner, Varathrien Malaghast has told you lot that it is not proper for you to address him so patronizingly. Simply 'Varathrien' is not proper. 'Curator Malaghast' is his title, and while I would expect such form to be used between persons of equal standing, far be it from me to discourage him. Thus, if you are to speak with him, 'Curator Malaghast' and 'Sir' are interchangeable and appropriate. Consequently, 'Varathrien', 'Malaghast' and simply 'Curator' are not.
Whichever form you use, the key detail is respect. He is your superior and you will adhere to that. If something remains unclear, I would advise asking him for clarification.
Ignorance in and of itself does not warrant a punishment, and pursue of knowledge is in most cases admirable; it is the willful decision to remain ignorant that is despicable, as is the disregard for rules."

"Well, this could have gone so much worse," Siber chuckled as he sat down across from Kim with a bowl of porridge, a loaf of bread with a slab of unidentifiable meat on it, and a glass of water.

Elthalis began with the impossible task of performing no less than forty pushups.
After doing seventeen pushups , the elf fell hard to the ground panting for air. But with the use of willpower the elf continiued.
But willpower did not save her from failing on her twenty-third pushup when she once again got to close to the ground for comfort.
When she managed to do thirty-one pushups the elven arms was unable to bear the weight of the body and Elthalis colapsed, her face dreanched in sweat and she gasped for air.
She tried to make another pushup but her arms was like yelly and failed.
The high elf lied on the floor unmoving with her face up, her arms are aching and her defeat was obvious after a mere quater of an hour after she began on her first pushup.

"He's lulling us into a false sense of security," Kim chortled and scooped a spoonful of something resembling bubble and squeak into her mouth. "You know, this is not too bad," she commented the dish after chewing it down. "Not half as bad as he made it out to be."
She reckoned about five minutes had passed since they were dismissed. Twenty for breakfast was plenty of time.

"Pitiful," Stefan remarked with disgust. "I am beginning to wonder if you were meant to be in the Arcane course after all, as you are clearly not even remotely in shape. Maybe if you have paid more attention to other parts of your body than your clever mouth, you would not find yourself in this situation. Would you not agree, Elthalis Azuresong?"

"Nostalgia aside, this isn't at all worse than what I've eaten back home. The bread is definitely finer," Siber nodded, "And the portions are huge, too. If anything, we got ourselves a good night's sleep in a clean bed and we're definitely not going to go hungry."
He wiped his mouth with a paper napkin and leaned back in his chair.
"I'd say we got a sweet deal for ourselves," the boy continued, then flexed, "And for what it's worth, maybe when the year's done I'll actually look good doing this," he finished jokingly.

Androw filled his tray and retreated to a far corner of the eatery, apparently content with being all by himself.

"I don't think the taskmaster approves of that as a goal, but I don't disagree with you. We'll be fit as fel," Kim said, with extra emphasis on the last part. "It's definitely not home, but we're kept fed and occupied. The majority of people our age only have one of those," she added and finished her meal, also leaning back in her chair with plenty of time left on the break.
Eating quickly was not a problem when you were hungry and newly exercised, she thought contently.

Siber steepled his fingers in front of his mouth, narrowed his eyes and hissed maliciously, in an obvious imitation of Stefan.
"I would advise against finding out what exactly nets our
lauded
taskmaster's approval aside from abiding to the rules, Kimberly Fraser."

"Sire, why did you task me with forty pushups and only mere five laps?" Lyshalis said with pants mid sentence glaring with narrowed eyes direcly to Stefans eyes. "Perhaps sire should not lie, you knew my advantages and my disadvantages. You just wanted me to fail. Probably to state your own sadistic needs, it's a wonder why and how you became a teacher." She hissed.

Kim shuddered - the imitation was decent enough. "I'm
not
going to find out," she said and grinned, "and for all our sakes I hope
you're
not trying to find out what he
doesn't
like."
She didn't mean to burst any bubbles; she just felt that losing her only new acquaintance at this strange place to the whip wouldn't be worth a few seconds of childish laughter.

"I don't see one," Josh said with a frown, inspecting the outside as well. "Wait!" he said, lifting it. It lifted only an inch or so off the table, considering the boy had only an average musculature. "I think I see one on the bottom," he remarked, setting it carefully back down.

Popping up on the other side was Leo's bright expression. "Really? Can we flip it over?"

"Pretty much," Octavian agreed. "I could benchpress both of you, but running a mile..." he trailed off meaningfully, scarfing the rest of his porridge.

"Alright. You get that end, I've got this." Leo grasped the device on the top and the side not to be flipped onto its side. "Say when."
