Fourth Year Botany Class

The Fourth Year Botany Class wasn't being taught by Burne, but it was, unsurprisingly, being taught by a Thistle. Maybe this was only natural. Of the noble families, the Thistles had the closest relationship with herbs and nature.

Of course, it was a family of Soul Mancers—the Gianni Dukedom Clan—that truly monopolized herbology, alchemy, and things of the like. But the Thistles weren't all too far behind.

Unlike the other Thistles in this branch of Imperial Academy, though, Teacher Vibra Thistle had been here from the start. She was an old woman that looked like she had a closer foot to the grave than even Burne, but she had a sharp shrillness to her voice that made her sound decades younger.

The class took place in a field rather than in the normal classroom setting. All around them, there was greenery and shrubbery. However, if one took even the most ordinary of leaves too casually, one would suffer.
