Dialogue

(First interaction): Stagira: Is that all you've got? Run a few steps, and you're huffing for your life? Don't go telling anyone you're my students, as you'll bring me nothing but shame!; Student: ...S—Sir... Phew... We've—We've already done... t—twenty... laps around the... Marmoreal Palace...; Stagira: Pfft, fine. Take a quint, then finish twenty sets of push-ups!; Student: Ahh... S—Sir... They normally take their students' money for the lectures... N—Not their lives...; Stagira: What, too much to handle already? Ah, if you weaklings don't start taking training seriously, you might never make it into the academy!; Student: That's not what I mean... Why do we have to do this? I never saw any entrance exams for the other Schools... And that sling is way too heavy to swing...; Stagira: It goes without saying, a powerful soul must be paired with a strong body, or it will never reach the pure truths!; Student: But we came here to learn... With such intense training, I'm afraid we would become arena champions instead...; Stagira: I will say this one more time! Our bodies are the vessels of our souls! Just as the growth of crops relies on the soil's nourishment, the nourishment of the soul cannot be separated from the abundance of the body...; Stagira: If you simply pursue abundant harvests and spend all your time reaping without nurturing the land, one day the very foundation of our survival will dry up and wither.; Stagira: For the soul to wither and decline before achieving elevation because of a debilitated body... What a tragedy that would be!; Student: Even so...; Stagira: Very well! As you've got the energy to argue, finish another five sets!; Student: Huh!? No — Please, Sir, I was wrong!

(Subsequent interactions)

Stagira: My friend, you look competent. Are you interested in learning more about our school?

Introduce your school?

Stagira: Gladly! First, do you know about the Grove of Epiphany?

Who doesn't?

Stagira: Very good, we'll dispense with the preamble and get straight to business...

Tell me about it?

Stagira: In short, a long time ago, the ThalesusFirst Scholar led the masses and built a garden and grove over where the Bough of Rift, Cerces'Reason Titan divine shell laid.

Stagira: The garden and grove later became the Grove of Epiphany — an academy where people awoke their minds, sought knowledge, and invoked enlightenment. A sanctuary where academia embraces inclusivity and teems with diversity.

Stagira: In Amphoreus, people usually refer to these structured and influential academic groups as Schools, and I belong to the Helkolithic school, one of seven in the Grove.

Stagira: We are proficient in the practical study of physical and mental acuities. We don't just pursue the limits of humanity in physical training and competitive activities, but also exercise our prowess in felling our opponents in battles of wit.

Felling...

Stagira: That's right! Like a storm felling a great tree — hand clutching a slate, punching a hole through your opponent's fallacious argument!

Stagira: Of course, it's okay even if you're not carrying a slate at that time. Our lessons also include improvised close quarters combat with weapons and hand-to-hand fighting. Our students are well-equipped for any situations thrown their way.

Where are the guards? I want to make a report.

Stagira: Haha, you're funny, friend!

Knowledge is indeed power!

Stagira: Exactly! I knew you were perfect for our school!

Stagira: I've recently been strolling about and lecturing nearby. If you are interested, you can have a listen.

I want to hear about other schools.

Stagira: About them... If you still want to know more about the other six schools, I wouldn't mind giving you a brief intro...

Stagira: The Lotophagist school primarily studies plants and their products, but those fellas are all boring ascetics. Even a normal person would eventually turn into a vegetable after being in there for too long.

Stagira: The Caprist school focuses on the propagation and protection of bizarre beasts. But really, isn't that just simple breeding...?

Stagira: And the Nodist school. Those guys are haughty exclusionists clinging on to their status as the first school to be founded, and turn their nose up on everyone else. They might as well hang a sign over their entrance that writes, "No dogs or geometrically-challenged people allowed!"

Stagira: And all the Venerationist school knows is to fiddle with rituals and delve into politics all day, and create messy knick-knacks. They're a right headache.

Stagira: And those Erythrokeramists going on about stuff like "there's no physical shell beyond the soul," "existence is to be perceived." And performing all those "leaps of faith" like they've got nothing better to do. Too many scholars have cracked their bones because of that.

Stagira: As for the Nousporist school... Tsk, ignoring the blasphemous rantings of that AnaxaNousporist Sage for now, just that yapper of his... For your own health, please stay far, far away from them.

Stagira: How about it? Having compared them all, our Helkolithism is still the best, aren't we!

I'm busy, so I'll be heading off.

Stagira: Farewell. A walkabout helps with clearing your thoughts. Try it out when you get the chance!

Beyond Time: An Eternal Page

Gaia: As researchers, we can't shy away from hard work. We must take things step by step and throw away all those unnecessary formalities!

Stagira: I see great potential in you, my friend. Perhaps you'd be interested in Helkolithism?
