"Welcome back! I'm glad! I'm really really glad!" [Marianne]
"You really are prone to make trouble! You worry us all!" [Tio]
"Tio... That pinch hurt" [Diana]
"That's what you get for worrying us all!" [Tio]
"It's not my fault..." [Diana]
"True, it's not yours, but you still make us worry about you" [Adnan]
"I'll join you too... How many times do I have to worry about you?" [Kara]
"Neloufa, don't you want to join the pinching?" [Mara]
"I'm just glad that Diana is safe. I already had my fair share of reunions with her yesterday" [Neloufa].
"Oh... You met her yesterday?" [Marianne]
"We did. We met at the opera house together with Madam World Tree Priestess" [Neloufa].
"WHAT!" [Marianne, Tio, Adnan and other students]
It's a school day, and all my classmates are gathering around me, happy to see me safe and sound. We last met during the Sudeen camp conducted by your truly Master Merlin. Of course, when a student suddenly disappears during a school trip, the trip is canceled.
They tell me how worried they were during that time, and how the adventurers and teachers all dragged the elves responsible for trying to kidnap me. Master Merlin was furious, only held back by the equally furious Teacher Tiara and Ms. Linda, otherwise I'm sure these elves will be turned into one of Master Merlin many Marionettes. Sister Khamisah and Dana's worried looks at that time made other students uneasy. Who wouldn't be? Sister Khamisah is the highest ranking adventurer, SS rank, and Sister Dana is known as one of, if not the strongest student here. Surely looking at their worried faces makes others worried. Kat and Randy are a bit calmer, but they are also quick to volunteer to search me at another area as soon as they get the chance.
"I'm sure she's beautiful!" [Stacy].
"She is. Her voice and especially her singing, even Diva Vita couldn't help but praise her, saying that her voice during a song is much better than hers" [Neloufa].
"I'm so jealous! I wish I was there! Madam World Tree Priestess singing at the Opera House, I would definitely pay no matter the price" [Marianne]
The discussion then turned to Grandma Farhah. I told them about our relationship. I also tell them about the World Tree, as they are curious about it, and as I am about to begin.
"All right, tell them more about it, it's not often that someone gets to see a World Tree" [Merlin].
"Say the one who gave me my wand!" [Diana]
"What do you mean, I am nothing more but a humble teacher. How could I possibly get the sapling of a World Tree that is about a thousand years old? It's not like I'm friends with a Queen of Dyrad of the Fairy Queen to get one" [Merlin].
"She pretty much tells you everything about your wand" [Kara].
"At this point, Master Merlin couldn't even be bothered to hide her true identity" [Diana].
"Master Merlin, tell us more about the World Tree from a thousand years ago" [Neloufa]
"Master? Ohh! Looks like one of you finally recognizes me" [Merlin]
"I am... I'm..." (So embarrassing, I'm just one of her students, not an apprentice, but, I couldn't help but respect her and call her that just now...) [Neloufa]
"But tha is indeed interesting. Teacher Merlin and Diana both saw one, so I'm sure it will be interesting to compare their results" [Kara]
"Can we please?" [Marianne]
"Alright, since you're so interested in it, change of plan, I'll do exactly as you requested" [Merlin].
At Neloufa's request, Master Merlin takes out one of his wands and uses a mirage spell to create a representation of the World Tree based on her memories.
"Is there even a change? This is pretty much it" [Diana].
"How tall is it when you saw it?" [Merlin]
"I'm not sure, but I guess about the size of a hill or mountain. Maybe a little taller than the height of Adamantoise. Maybe. Should I ask Grandma Farhah?" [Diana]
"No need. The World Tree seems to have grown that tall... Okay, quiz for all of you... No... Never mind. Unless the World Tree Priestess wants to tell it herself, I guess this should be buried" [Merlin].
"What should be buried?" [Auger]
(I guess she's going to ask them about the part where the World Tree records and stores all the information of this world, or is there more to it?) [Diana]
Slowly, our class moved from the World Tree to the history of the elves to the ecological system that the elves maintain. Since I was there, Master Merlin asked me to tell the class about their parks and even the importance of the Adamantoise to the ecological system.
"I feel like I want to visit there one day. So much potential item to be discovered and sold" [Tio].
"That is a unique way to see it" [Neloufa].
"Knowing Tio, that's exactly what I expected her to say" [Adnan].
"Alright, next question, I'm sure you've heard about it already, but who is in the delegation from the dwarven kingdom and what is their contribution to the elven kingdom?" [Merlin]
"Easy, that's..." [Kara]
Master Merlin skillfully changes the subject from one topic to another. She does it in a way that we all find interesting. I'm sure none of us are distracted by her during this class, but
(Dwarf Kingdom... Should I visit their delegation? I'm sure Brokkr and Oreforged have a connection to their royalty) [Diana].
