Why do we have to take etiquette classes? It’s not even magic, it’s just knowing what to say to certain people and for the most part I will never see those people, but for some reason it’s part of the required courses. I would’ve spent the extra time studying but no, I have to sit in class and listen as some non-magical spellcaster goes and pander off about how we should always be polite to others above our “standard” and to grovel like dogs.

It’s just a simple waste of time. I understand that to keep my scholarship that I have to pass all my classes, but it’s just a hassle. Master Magnolia never mentioned how much of a pain in the ass this would be. Although I do remember now that he mentioned etiquette classes but only in passing, when we were going over classes I’ll end up taking a while ago.

It’s been a while since I last saw Master Magnolia but I’m sure he’s exploring, looking for new magic for the college. Since it’s his job, it’s not unreasonable but sadly we never really speak to each other now, since he’s off wandering.

At the very least I’ve found a new friend. His name is not in Common though, but through one of my newer spells, Comprehend Languages, I’ve been able to get a sense of what his name is. Although I find his nickname, Scribbles, funnier so I use that more often. He’s rather unique, a Warlock instead of a normal wizard, so his spells are often limited yet powerful.

He’s also not human, nor one of the usual races that inhabit the college. He’s what is called a Teifling, which in broad terms is a human with devil characteristics. He hides everything under a lot of baggy clothes, but after hanging out with him long enough I was able to learn Abyssal, with the help of Comprehend Languages, and grew closer to him, enough for him to show me that he is a tiefling. I heard stories about tieflings but Scribbles didn’t really feel like anything bad, just some kid like myself getting through college.
