Biology Professor

[Lucius Celsus]

What is your business with me?

You must make a reservation a week in advance if you have any questions.

You don't know how busy person I am...don't you?

If you're a Sage, you're supposed to know about me by now.

You have too much time on your hands. Go explore some dungeons.

I think it will be more helpful than wasting your time on me.

What brings you to me, kid?

You'd better go out and play with your pals.

This is not a place where you can fool around.

Hmm? What brings you to me? Are you interested in watching monsters?

You're allowed to watch. However, do not disturb them by making any fuss.

And keep your hands off, some of these guys are way too dangerous to touch.

By the way, if you catch any rare monsters in future, let me know.

I am willing to purchase those at any cost.

Welcome to my class, did you earn good results in the practical exam?

My name is Lucius Celsus, the expert of Biology.

Huh...how rude of you! You're expected to introduce yourself to me as soon as I greet you!

What is your name, young one?

A fine name. It's nice to meet you.

So, are you aware of the subject you're studying?

As you know, your topic of study is monsters.

How many times have you fought with monsters?

Oh shut up, you brat. Don't be so sure about yourself.

Even if you have much experience with monsters, you will have a hard time comprehending my lecture.

Yes, that's what I guessed about you. You're just book smart.

However, I am sure you will encounter most of the monsters mentioned in my lecture.

Let's get started.

Make sure you're ready for the practical examination during my lecture.

Go bring the following items to me.

5 Tentacle,

5 Single Cell,

5 Fish Tail.

5 Nipper,

5 Clam Flesh,

5 Heart of Mermaid.

Go bring following items to me.

5 Tendon,

5 Sharp Scale.

I will proceed with the class when you bring those to me.

Have fun.

You showed great effort to gather all of those.

Well, I am not sure if you gathered them by yourself or bought them from shops...

Somehow the monsters that drop those items have something in common.

Can you tell me what that similarity is?

Yes, they possess water property and at the same time they are fishes.

Most fish class monsters live underwater, so they are attributed with the water property.

...I didn't know Phens were aggressive nowadays?

Or do Marina and Plankton team up to start a fight with you?

All the monsters from which you obtained these items are not agressive... get a grip.

They are all fishes and possess water property.

What...! What are you here for!? You are here to study about specific monsters, microcephalic moron!

Sigh...they are all fishes and possess water property.

Not all fish class monsters possess water property, but most of them do.

So which kind of magic would work best on most fish class monsters?

That's right, Lightening Bolt, which possesses the wind property, works best on water property monsters.

Although you might want to be careful of monsters that recognize magic casting.

What? Fire Bolt! Fire cannot beat water, you imbecile!

Most fishes are attributed with the water property. Therefore, they are weak to wind property magic spells. Don't you get it?

Yeah, Thunder Storm spell is fine... it's a wind property spell.

However, you will be in trouble if you use the spell in a poorly chosen spot.

I can't fathom such stupidity! This question asks you to choose a property that counters water! Don't you get it?

Logically, any magic spell possessing the water property cannot overcome the water atrribute monsters!

By the way, although some monsters such as Penomena or Aster are considered to be fish class monsters,

they have a different property than the others. You'd better be careful with them.

Okay, let me teach you about insect monsters.

Let's see... hmm... hmm...

5 Cobweb,

5 Shell,

5 Insect Feeler.

5 Horn,

5 Snail's Shell,

5 Moth Dust.

5 Mantis Scythe,

5 Worm Peeling,

5 Rainbow Shell.

5 Solid Shell.

What, you already forgot what I told you just a minute before?

What a nusance... listen carefully this time.

5

Well done. So, did you watch insects while gathering those items?

Oh well, I believe you did a good job with the task.

Insect class monsters do not share the same property most of the time,

You must think twice before you cast a magic spell on an insect.

It's remarkable that insects can detect hidden objects.

Therefore, any hiding skill such as the Hiding skill or Cloaking skill will not work on insect monsters.

Some insects form a group and live together.

They are controlled by the head of the group...

For instance, Maya the queen ant...

Mistress, the queen of hornets,

or Golden Thiefbug, the king of thiefbugs...

You cannot beat those boss monsters alone,

you'd better form a party if you want to fight with them.

That's the end of my class...it's time for you to write a thesis.

Bring me following items for writing the thesis.

1 Feather of Birds which will be used as a pen,

1 Animal Skin which will be used as paper,

1 Trunk which will be used to bind a book,

1 Squid Ink which will be used as ink,

1 Empty Bottle which will be used for holding squid ink.

I will help you in writing the thesis when you bring all of those items.

You're almost there. Isn't learning easy?

What, you already forgot what I told you?

What a nuisance...listen carefully this time.

Zzz...Zzz...

Hmph. Lucky brat brought all of the items.

Well, I don't expect you to write an outrageously great thesis though...

Well, if you really want to write it by yourself, I can let you handle it but...

I will give you a work of staggering genius. Just make a copy of it under your name.

You got a problem with that? Tough, that's my style.

Just do what I say.

..........

....................

.................................

.....Monsters vary by physical appearance,

...and possess various elemental properties.

You must be aware of each monster's properties,

...and be aware that certain spells work differently on different monsters.

You must be especially careful of holy property and shadow property monsters.

These monsters are most dangerous.

Are you done? Okay, then it's over.

You won't be able to write another thesis again, handle this with care.

Show this masterpiece to the dean.

Then, he will let you graduate from the academy. See you.

What, are you sure that you're ready? No, I don't think so.

Oh well... listen carefully this time.

You have been doing fine, I guess you can do this without a problem.

Go get them. Hurry up.

What are you doing here, Go show your thesis to the dean!

Don't wasn't any more time here.

It seems you have too much time on your hands. Okay, I will assign you some tasks.

Hahaha, did you say no? Alright then, fine. Scram.

Wah~! My brain is gonna blow up soon! Why must I have to prepare all of these things?!

Who are you?! Don't disturb me, I'm busy!!

If you just want to watch monsters here, fine with me...

Just don't ask me any questions.
