Philosophies of Mana (Extended Edition), Thursday Per 3
There were four mana pairings left to cover and only two classes left to do so--and, while nothing at Fandom was so kind as to happen on schedule - Liliana hypocrisy at its finest, considering her staunch refusal to be bullied by clocks - she was fairly certain that no one would be in a fit state to pay attention to class next week. She had absolutely no idea how she still nearly had half the pairings remaining, but here she was.
Clearly, she needed to adapt, and she needed to adapt on the fly. Sure, she was mourning her notes, but she genuinelyloved respected teaching, and that meant focusing on helping students learn, regardless of how much effort and preparation she'd put into other things.
"Welcome to your second to last class, students," she said crisply. "Quite possibly your last, depending on what the island gets up to next week."
It wouldn't be a spring semester if there wasn't pollen attempting to sabotage a class period.
"Again, by this point, you should be able to look at mana pairings and explain what their concepts are, their similarities and their frictions. So consider this your early final. We have four more pairings to discuss: blue/green, black/red, black/green, and red/green." Next time she taught this course, she was definitely starting with black. Talk about the best color first. "Rather than waste everyone's time with additional lectures, let's put what you've learned into practice."
