Thank you. I appreciate that. I mean, technically I'm here to study healing magic. Most of my heroes practiced non-violent means to effect change. The idea that the 'best' way to get anything out of this school is through dueling and force is very strange to me.

Then again it's one of the reasons I did sign up for the dueling club. I wanted to challenge myself to think outside of my comfort zone.

They really over-emphasis the Dueling Club here. Really, the academics shouldn't take such a back seat to something that's actually pretty useless for 95% of the students. I mostly do it since I want to get into law enforcement.

Still, you do have a point about it making you think differently than you are used to.

Maybe, instead, you could start a dance club?

Start my own club? Now that's an idea. I wonder if anyone would be interested in learning to dance. Of course most of what I know is Bollywood or tradtional Hindu. I wonder if there's anyone here who knows a few other styles to help round things out.

Sometimes I wonder if it was a good idea to come here or not too. I came here to study magic but .. it's like the more I'm here the more involved I get in other things.

I don't know..

Starting your own club is a good idea.
