Nikki was surprised when she heard the two more pacifist folk were being signed up for combat courses "Self-defense." Nikki summarized it "The thing is that you don't have to be planning on going into the military like I am to learn how to fight. Lots of people learn casual martial arts in order to protect themselves."
Nikki looked towards Chii "Let me put it this way. Here's how you should think of it. You should learn how to break the concrete under your feet, or how to make some big psychic lights show. I don't know which one you'd be better for. If you can do that, most people are going to get the memo, and run away to find clean underwear." Nikki chuckled "Plus the thing is, the stronger you are, the less desperate you have to fight. Being strong doesn't just mean you can wipe the floor with people better. It means you get a better ability to dictate just how an enemy loses."
She then looked towards Kate. Didn't that one demon say Kate was a 'perfect little sister' type? Well, that gave her a way to convince her "You know, you'd make the perfect real-life magical girl. I mean, you have the personality for it. Maybe there's some fighting style like that."
She thought for a moment "I don't suppose my father or anyone else has signed me up for anything in particular." Honestly, she was a bit curious. Nikki was a bit of case of like father like son... well, like father like daughter. They were both military-types, after all.
Come to think of it, as the only other dryad around here aside from Greta, she was wondering if her teacher had picked a few.

Katelyn's eyes brighten a bit at that.
"O-oh, a magical girl? That sounds cool....I could be a magical succubus!"
She giggles.
"I'd have to take lots of magic and combat classes, but...being a magical girl would definitely be cool!"

Greta's head hits the table. "We've created a monster. An adorable, adorable monster."
And, one of the trolls promptly tosses a piece of bread at her. "Hey! That's our word!" He has a smirk on his face, clearly not offended.
And, now, the Meta Club is formed...and what things shall it accomplish?
(Okay, moving this thread to Downtime. Remember Downtime uses LIQUID TIME, along with classes. You can post everywhere.)

Chii manages, finally, to calm down and collect her thoughts. She does smile at Kate's enthusiasm towards the 'magical girl' comment....but only has a vague idea what a magical girl is. Something from manga about girls who get magic powers in the name of the stars or something? She hadn't read many manga, mostly a few Portuguese- and English-translated titles made their way to the markets in Lichinga.
She sighs and turns to Nikki. "I suppose there is value in being able to defend patients from whomever hurt them in the first place. Still, ALL the classes would seem to be the coursework for a soldier, not a doctor, no? I was hoping to have more time to look into the Races of the world and their history and biology, as well as how to expand and improve magic associated with my realm. Too many combat courses would make a crowded semester."
She then turns back to Greta. "Perhaps this is a demonstration of the necessity of some of those courses, but I think I will need to request help - I do not think your typical cultists are easily dissuaded by threatening to withhold painkillers."

Xue bows her head for a moment and says a quiet prayer before getting to eating. It takes her a moment to catch back up in the conversation, and her eyes go to each person as they speak. Of course, the idea of not wanting to fight was a bit... odd. "Fighting is fun." She finally tips in, "Kind of like a dance. A lot of people do it as a sport, for competitions. Others for fitness. Only a small number of people that actually know how to fight ever have to use it."

To Xue, Chii raises an eyebrow. "So, a bit like hunting, then? That seems strange to me, though it would explain why people still do it, no?" She pauses, remembering something rather gruesome she came across as a medical orderly. "For the most part, I have seen the consequences of fighting more than fighting itself. Have you ever seen the result of a fight with glass bottles as weapons? The end results are unpleasant."
