Rosemary and Sage begin their first day of classes. However, they are met with unexpected circumstances as they adjust to their new school life.
Tropes
- Break the Haughty: Amaryllis has been an Alpha Bitch to Sage the entire day. During Redbud's class, she initially refuses to drink Country Mouse's antidote, but has to swallow it along with her pride since she failed to make one herself.
- Comically Missing the Point: The students are required to give a Well their vow as a future Guardian by the end of the day, even if it's a placeholder. Sage struggles to come up with anything and wonders if she's doomed for failure, and Rosemary suggests making that her vow. Sage comes up with a proper one eventually.
- Heroic Vow: The Triad asks the students to come up with the Guardian's vow, any is fine. At the end of the day the three recite the proper vow about responsibility and respect.
- Informed Ability: Parsley's blacksmith teacher Phlox commends Parsley on her skills and promotes her to an advanced class. However, the audience only sees her hit the anvil only a couple of times and pulling two daggers from off-screen, rather than her actually crafting the weapons.
- Passing Notes in Class: Rosemary quickly gets bored by the ethics class and passes a drawing of the two demonstrated critters to Snapdragon. Who crumbles it and throws it at her face.
- Sadist Teacher: Redbud starts her class off by giving her students poisoned tea that transforms their faces and limbs and telling them to create an antidote with minimal instructions. She nonchalantly mentions that either someone completes the task or there will be a funeral.
- Violence is the Only Option: Wyverna Dretch shows the class two critters, one is a predator and the other is a Ridiculously Cute Critter, and asks Rosemary how to make them trust each other. Rosemary, who wasn't paying attention, suggests giving claws to both of them. While the answer is technically acceptable, the teacher tells it would be correct if both parties didn't have weapons.
