The Second Classroom

This classroom looked something like a library, for its purpose was to polish the Alchemy understanding of the fresh and young future Alchemists (yummy ^^). A long desk was in the middle of the book-filled place and many chairs surrounded it. The lecturer sat in one of them, waiting for his students, looking over his glasses.

The young Phoenix entered the Alchemy understanding classroom, looking casually around. She situated herself in front of the lecturer and leaned on the back of her chair, not before she nodded the man a greeting. Revi wondered what this Alchemy understanding was all about and was glad that she would finally understand.

"Good day, young lady." greeted the teacher who happened to be a handsome looking man, around the 30's. He closed the book in front of him and looked at Revi:
"May I ask you your name. If I am not mistaken, I haven't seen you before in my classes."

"Phoenix, Revi Phoenix, sir," answered the young woman and she continued. "You may meet later on my two twins, but you will most certainly be able to distinguish us."
The black-clad girl looked patiently over to the man and waited for his instructions after she asked what she would be doing.

"Two twins!? How amusing! I'll be waiting for them to show up, but until then, let us begin with your education. You will be reading books and for that you should come here. All you need is on the shelves. Your first book is called "Basics of the Alchemy" said the lecturer handing a slip of paper to the young woman.
"When you read the first book, come to me to give you the next one." said the man and opened up his book again.

Revi stood from her place and went to the shelves. She didn't look for the book a lot, since it was on the first shelf she checked.
'If I weren't myself, I would probably pity this thing,' thought the Phoenix as she picked up the old and worn book and sat back on her place, so that she could start reading it. The front cover read "Basics of Alchemy" and the blackhead opened the book, skipped the 'author-ramblings' as she liked to put it, and started with chapter one.
From time to time the girl stopped to rub her temples or yawn a bit before she buried her nose in her work again. When she had reached the end of the last chapter, Revi supressed the urge to fall asleep right there and then and looked at the lecturer with tired blue eyes after she coughed to get his attention. She put the book beside her and waited.

"Ready? Next is: "Alchemy through the centuries" only said the man, making a sign with his hand for Revi to leave the previous book back on its place.

The raven-haired girl complied and did what she was told; she walked over to the shelf where she had picked up the book and left it there. Her blue orbs studied a few more of the bookcases until she found the next thing she had to read: "Alchemy Through the Centuries". Grabbing the book, she sat down yet again and leaning on her right arm, she started skidding through the pages, skanning the text for important things she had to remember.
When she thought that the text couldn't get any more boring, it succeeded to prove her wrong, throwing her into the jaws of sheer boredom. Page after page, Revi kept herself from drifting off to sleep, her eyelids becoming heavier by the second. The Phoenix was about to really fall asleep when she realised that the boring passage she had just finished, was the last.
Revi couldn't help but sprawl on the desk and close her eyes for a little while. The young woman yawned and stretched herself and said with a groggy voice:
"Ready..."

"Good. Next is "History and development"..."

"What the F*CK?! Do all the books include boring explanations about what happened during the ages...' Revi bit her lip in order not to curse when she looked at the first page of the "new" book. She had already left the previous one where she had found it and was now sitting in her spot.
The Phoenix leaned back and pushed her chair backwards so that it was now standing on its two back legs and the girl had lifted her legs on the desk.
'Now that's more like it,' she positioned herself that the lecturer wouldn't have front seats to a show called "Revi Phoenix's Panties".
The blackhead flipped through the pages, reading boring facts and stuff like that. She would stand and stretch and after that she would take her previous position and resume her actions. Finally Revi was finished, put the book beside her and mumbled:
"Ne~xt?"

"First sit properly, young lady. This is a library, not a cafe." Said the lecturer with a frown and gave Revi another book, called "Roots of the Alchemy". "I see you like to read about the history, so go on..." smirked the man and went to leave the book he was reading up until now.

"Ha. Ha. Very funny, sir," Revi let the chair fall to its fours and took the book from the man.
'Like History? He's got to be kidding me,' the young woman was already skidding through the first chapter. 'He's doing it on purpose, I swear!'
Still her face remained devoid of emotion, though she was willing to tear the book apart. 'Keep your calm...' the blackhead had just read a passage she had already encountered twice. She rubbed her eyes and continued with her studying for some time until she needed a break again. And so, with a lot of trouble, the Phoenix was able to reach the back cover of the book. She put it on top of her previos one with a quiet 'thud' and looked at the lecturer.

"Well, now the last book for today shall be "Special researches and how they are made". I hope you will enjoy it, Miss Revi." Said the man with a chuckle.

'ALRIGHT!' thought Revi, who was extremely happy when she heard she had only one more book to read. Ahe picked herself up along with the books she had already read and started towards the shelves. She put the books on one of the bookcases and looked around for the last thing she had to memorize. When her blue eyes fell on "Special Researches and How They Are Made", she almost snatched the paper stack and went back to her seat. The Phoenix eagerly fell on the first chapter as desperation caught grip of her whole being.
'Another... boring... piece of... ugh!' the blackhead busied herself with the book, despite the urge to tear at all the pages. Chapter after chapter, page after page, passage after passage, sentence after sentence, word after word... The young woman couldn't believe her eyes when they stopped on the last ink spot of the book. She stood up, put her torture where it belonged, stood straight in front of the lecturer and said stiffly:
"All ready, sir."

"Well done! See you again in your next class here. Don't forget to bring your twins with you sometime." Waved the teacher and set Revi free. ( Free as a pink butterfly. XD)

You obtain 1-st level of Alchemy Understanding

Revi just nodded her thanks and exited the classroom without a second of hesitation.

"Huum, interesting young lady, indeed..." smirked the man again looking back to his book, waiting for new students.
