( Well. It's not every day a post on the network catches his attention in such a way. He doesn't have much of a use for Ratio's services, not really. But he cannot help but lend ideas to flesh out the curriculum. )

Would you have any use for another tutor?
I may be able to lend my expertise.

[curingidiocy]

That depends. What subjects are you capable of teaching?

@vessel

[eyescar]

👍😨😭

✌️✌️✌️

[curingidiocy]

Have you sufficiently prepared yourself?

[eyescar]

i've done sooo much studying!!

[curingidiocy]

Good. I hope to see favourable results.

[ You might be hoping for too much, Ratio... ]

[eyescar]

i'm really going to do my best

[ignoreher]

[ exams...... ]

Sooooooooo what year bracket is this for, Professor? Is it just high school, or higher education, or...

[curingidiocy]

It is intended for individuals undergoing high school level education.

Are you perhaps interested?

[ignoreher]

Nope! I'm good! I am a university student and I'm barely making by as it is! You can count on me not being around at all, unless to help pass out water and stuff during the exam period!





[ whew!!!!!!!!! ]

@kijyo

[saudadist]

what reading level is required?

[curingidiocy]

[ You've just piqued his curiosity even more, Malkuth. See the titles he signed off with? University professor. That's his real job. ]

What is the subject of your study? Perhaps I could offer supplementary lessons if you are struggling.

@greatvalue

[newphew]

Yes! I love exmas!Please let me participate!

is that all of them? No battle classes? Magic?Potions?Abominations?

Are we going to have to find our way out of a maze with deadly traps??

[ so normal.... ]

[ignoreher]

[ yeah she realized it was a mistake after she sent it. ]

Architecture and the engineering that goes with it. My main issues are the general classes, actually -- it's been a long time since I was in an educational institution, and so I've been playing catch up since I woke up here a few months ago.

[ along with LILITH's occasional demands and her own hobbies and whatnot, ]

[curingidiocy]

Ideally, you should be reading at twelfth grade level, but as these exams are diagnostic, failing to understand certain terminology will be inevitable. The exams have been written to assess knowledge on each subject from eighth grade to first year undergraduate level.

[curingidiocy]

I have expertise in engineering, mathematics, physics, biology and philosophy, among others. I would be able to provide tutoring in any of these subjects, should you require the aid.

[saudadist]

oh

next time then I guess

[ That time limit would easily be half her reading the instructions, she's certain. ]

[curingidiocy]

[ ...what kind of education have you had, young sir. ]

No. I am no combat instructor. My expertise lies in the academics. These are written exams.

I have noted your desire to participate. You need not bring anything with you. Writing materials will be provided.

[ignoreher]

[ .............

it would be useful......... and he is offering........ he seems like a nice person..... ]

You sure are talented, Professor! If you really don't mind, then I'd be glad to take you up on that offer. We'll figure out how I can repay you later.

[curingidiocy]

If you are interested, I am willing to arrange accommodations, including orally delivering the exam should that be required. It will have to occur on an alternate date, however.

[saudadist]

[ She almost writes out "oh" again but stops herself. ]

that would work, if you have the time
my schedule is very flexible

[curingidiocy]

[ He's picking up so many students already! It pleases him, even if he's been relegated to teaching the very basics of each subject instead of the high level courses he usually teaches. ]

If it were a bother, I would not offer.

A forewarning: though I may be simply tutoring you, I am a strict teacher. Do not expect me to go easy on you.

[ignoreher]

That's fine! I'm not the fastest learner, but I'll work hard to make up for that -- you won't see me throwing in the towel.

So, are all those titles things from back home? You sound like a pretty important person.

[newphew]

[ don't worry about it ]

Okay I understand.

Is there a punishment for failure?Not that I'll fail!!

[ but just in case...... are we talking like light maiming or death ]

[curingidiocy]

That is correct. I am a tenured professor at the University of Veritas Prime, a high-ranking member of the Intelligenstia Guild, and often represent and advise the IPC on various matters, as the Intelligentsia Guild and the IPC share a close relationship. It would not be a stretch to say my words bear a significant amount of weight.

That is why I expect you to do your best under my tutelage. My time is precious, as is yours.
