Weaponry; Wednesday, Second Period [04/06].
"Morning, everyone," said Amaya, getting the class started with her usual firm nod, a pound of her fist into her palm to show that, now that the air was clear and there were no awkward children situations to deal with, it was obviously time to buckle down and get back to serious work. "We've talked a little bit about a few range weapons, namely ballista, the classic bow and arrow, and some spear-throwing, but today, we're going to turn our focus onto the crossbow, which is sort of like...bridging the gap, a bit, between the more rudimentary bow and the more modern gun, though it's also quite a bit of a thing all on its own. Let's get into it."
And into it they got, as Amaya started out with the most basic of the designs available on the tables, and moves through the history of the weapon's development through the ages until she got to the contemporary equivilent with all its shininess and bells and whistles. Of course, the history, while extensive, still had nothing on the lecture once Amaya got into explaining how the crossbow actually worked and the exploration of its various parts.
She was, as usual, not about to leave any bolt unbolted! "Simple enough, right?" she concluded proudly. "Let me know if you have any questions," because who knows, maybe she did leave something out?, "and if not, then we'll turn it on over to Detective Diaz with the practical lesson."

Re: Class Activity: Crossbows - Weaponry, 04/06.
The same couldn’t be said about the other type of crossbows though and she found that instead of destroying the target, she kept breaking the crossbow, so it was going to take a while.
