So, was it time for class? He thought it was. That was what Mozart said, or at least tried to. The Nightmare had pushed him, literally, to the training grounds and made him stay there. Escape was futile, it seemed. Mirun yawned and nestled into Whispering Death's sharp coils, eh, he could wait for students to show up he supposed. He was supposed to be teaching how to care for your dragon properly or something like that? Yeah, that sounded like his job alright. As long as students learned or something. Right? Right. That was why he got payed, after all. Queen moved a bit, sending a sharp spike right into Mirun's side, but he just shifted away from it. He could never yell at his precious Whispering Death. Mozart was nestled over in the shade, keeping his eye on the human, in case Mirun made a run for it again. Sebby was somewhere, probably with his pack, but Mirun could hear the calls of the Speed Stingers in the distance, they would be fine. And if not, he could send one of his Terrors after them. The only Terror he had, to demonstrate with, was Lucy, who was currently nestled in his lap, purring softly. Hopefully this wouldn't be a total disaster, Mirun didn't take any crap from his students and was rather fond of odd punishments for disobedient children. He moved a bit, staring up at the clouds. Now the question was, when students were going to show up.

Malin made her way towards the training grounds, idly scratching the neck of the terror on her shoulder. Veli had been insistently nudging her half-way through the walk from the dorms, eager for her attention. She had finally given in just short of the little dragon using his fire breath on her. She had to learn what his threshold for waiting on attention was very quickly. it turned out to be, at least for the moment, very short indeed, and she now had the scorchmarks on a spare skirt to prove it. Luckily, though, she'd managed to put the flames out before it had done any major damage or spread-and luckily, she had brought more than one skirt with her. Veli seemed to be drifting off to sleep, now, lulled by her repetitive affection, so perhaps at least he'd stay out of trouble during class.
Malin took in the impressive sight of the Monstrous Nightmare and Whispering Death, letting out a soft gasp of awe. She had seen dragons many times before in her life, certainly since her arrival at the school, but they were still such an extradinary sight to behold, at least as far as she was concerned, especially up close as she was now. She supposed, sooner or later, that would no longer be the case, but for now, she was more than happy to marvel at the beautiful creatures.
Her gaze soon shifted from the large dragons to the man who sat between her and them, with a curled up terrible terror in his lap, who she assumed was the teacher. "Good morning," She said, before glancing around her, noticing a distant lack of other students around. "This is Dragon Species 101, isn't it?"

A soft growl from Mozart warned him of someone. He peeked open one of his eyes to watch them approach. He gave a bright smile, his trademark one as some said, and sat up, stepping away from Blue Queen. The Whispering Death hissed softly at him for not giving her a warning. Lucy scrambled up to his shoulders, giving a small growl in welcome. His tiny size was made up for in his big heart. "Mm, yup. Species 101, care 101, whatever you want to call it. First one to arrive to actually learn something," he said, Lucy nodding. Mozart gave the child a look before moving over to Queen, the two settling down for class. They wouldn't be used, probably, but they were there if any Terrors tried to take a bite out of their trainers. The fact there was an actual student he had to teach was slightly worrying to Mirun. he was a Master Breeder Professor, one of the top in the school. But due to the lack of teachers for the lower ranks floating around, he had to give up his usual duty of caring for the school dragons to teach. He wasn't very happy about it but hey, as long as he got payed, right? And this kid didn't seem too bad.
"Now, we can either start now," he began, rocking back on his heels while tilting his head to the side, Lucy copying him. "Or wait for others. Your call. I'm Professor O'Hannegan, but call me Mirun. No need for formality unless ya wanna suck up." Yes, there were ways to suck up to Mirun, but that never helped people to pass the classes he taught. He was more of the 'show what you have and try your best or get the hell out of my sight' sort. he liked students that tried, even if they sucked. He knew they cared then. But if they didn't want to learn, they were going to get some good old exercise running away from his Speed Stingers, Venus in the lead while he held good ol' sweet heart Sebby back. The lead Stinger would snuggle anything, literally. Mirun was sure he would snuggle a cactus if he was given the chance.

Al was thrilled to bits. She genuinely liked the classes here - sure, she wasn't the best at them, she really wasn't, but it was super fun, and the teachers had been great so far! Well. Better than the ones that were back home, which wasn't saying much. Either way! The Maid bolted to the training ground, running at break-neck speed, forever relishing the fact that she could wear pants here, as Harvey flew alongside her, having now figured out that it was best not to ride on her when she was running. All was super well! Especially as she approached the people and realized, skidding to a stop, Harvey plopping on her head, that she recognized the professor and his dragons, face lighting up in an utter grin. "Master Mirun!" she greeted happily, waving with her bandaged arm - give it just a bit more. "I am here wi' Harvey who listen! And 'ank you for given me lessons!" That was right, right? Maybe. She wasn't quite sure on the past stuff, just yet. That done, she promptly turned to the other girl, sticking out a hand and surveying her with curiosity - Harvey did, as well, but she had talked to him about attacking others before class. "Hello! I am Honourable Alfonsine Unger, Maid of Lubeck, you can call me Al! Nice to meet you! What is your name?"Whirlwind, thy name is Al. She wasn't quite slowing down just yet.

Both the fact that choice of whether to begin or wait for others was on her shoulders, and the informality with which Professor O'Hannegan-Mirun-expected to be addressed, surprised Malin quite a bit. She was more used to the more structured classes back on her home island, and she wondered if it was merely this class, or if all the classes and professors at the academy would have the same tone.
"I'm quite alright with waiting a while," Malin told him. She was patient enough, and it seemed rather selfish of her to hog the teacher's attention to herself. Besides, she really would rather not be the total center of attention.
They didn't have to wait for long for another student to join them, another young woman suddenly bolting towards them, skidding to a stop and greeting the instructor excitedly, before quickly extending a hand towards Malin. She took a brief moment to collect herself, a bit overwhelmed by the girl's speed and enthusiasm. "I'm Malin Rinne," She said, shaking the girl's hand. "And this is Veli," She added, quickly moving her free hand up to catch the napping Terror as he started to slide from her shoulder.

And there was the most enthusiastic child Mirun had ever seen shooting at them at about the speed of a young Stinger just learning to run. He wished he had that much energy. Ah, and it seemed her devil dragon was actually not trying to eat her alive, that was good. "Great, maybe now you won't have to get stitches any time soon," he hummed in response. Lucy gave a happy welcoming growl to everyone, nestling on Mirun's shoulders. The man leaned back on his heels, now how was he supposed to teach a beginner class? He was the Master Breeder, not the Beginner Breeder. He was supposed to be breeding dragons, checking eggs, and running away from sheer death while the angry parents tried to take a bite out of him. "Well, since we have two people here, let's start. Anyone else that shows up late can just catch on, hm?" He held out a hand, Lucy crawling down his arm to put his front claws on Mirun's palm, balancing on his forearm, his tail wrapped around his bicep so he wouldn't fall. "The class might say Dragon Species or whatever, but here we learn about the species as well as how to care for them. Since all of you are beginners and this is probably your first dragon care class, we'll start with Terrors," he hummed, Lucy nodding his head.
"It is important to know that each dragon is different, but each species has the same general care. For example, you will always need to brush a Whispering Death's teeth, but my darling Blue Queen only likes her teeth brushed after a meal, never at any other time. Get it?" He hoped the example would work. Lucy liked everything done at once, but he felt that might not get his point across. "Caring for a dragon is just as important training and taming them. If you care for your dragon, they will see you as a means of that care and will probably be more inclined to keep you alive~," hopefully that was true for their Terrors. Mirun had no idea how to explain this to freshmen. He was used to kids that had their dragons already and were ready to go out hunting for other dragons. Those kids. "Let's start with feeding your Terror. Dragons eat fish, right?" he gave a soft whistle, Mozart walking over to them to drop a barrel full of fish on the ground, before sitting back, watching the students. "Let's see which fish your dragon likes the best. Take one of each species in the barrel and let your dragon smell them. Try not to let them eat them all yet. It is important to know which food your dragon likes and will respond to. It is a better way to train them as well, if you offer them their favorite." Lucy jumped out of his arm to snag a perch from the barrel before flying back up swallowing the fish before settling back down, purring.
Mirun gave a bit of a smile. Lucy did like his perch. "While dragons can hunt for themselves, it is your job to make sure they stay well fed. A hungry dragon is an unhealthy dragon. So, feeding is the first step in care." He was pretty sure that was self explanatory, but he waited to continue to see which food the Terrors liked best. There was salmon, perch, trout, brown trout, catfish, and sardines in the barrel. Also one or two eels, in case the little Terrors got the bright idea of trying to steal more fish than what they were given. Mozart gave a huff when he spotted one of the slimy creatures but stayed still. It was dead, so there was no harm in it. Even a big dragon like him hated eels.
