 Hey, what's going on everyone? Welcome back to the Cropbox. Welcome to episode 32 of the Road to 110 Ipiva series. Today, we're gonna start with Stereo. I'm joined with Fen. So yeah, let's begin with Stereo. Let's not. It's just the hat. So we're doing to the registrar. As you know, the other faculty members and I are quite impressed with your performance here at Ravenwood School. So much so. That we would like you to travel abroad as a representative of the best wizard city has to offer. You will compete in a magical tournament, dueling students from other magic schools for the ultimate prize, the Spiral Cup. Sadly, Ravenwood hasn't taken the cup in a long, long while, but we can't give up trying. Please report to Mr. Lincoln in Gollum Court. He can provide you with all the details. Mr. Lincoln. I'm gonna use the hex way to go through the store. Well, you can moosh you when I'm ready. Don't go to moosh you though. Just change your quest to... Mr. Lincoln, yeah. I went the cheaty way. That's quicker. And go through Gamma's room. Oh, it's so cheaty. Yeah. There's another door in there to get out. So, you know, it's cheaty. I'm already there. The other thing is you're riding on a frickin... Hello there, young wizard. Oh my god, I hate his voice. Listen to his voice. You've got dialogue on, right? Listen to his voice. It's annoying. What school of magic must send a student wizard to participate in a spiral-wide tournament? This tournament is a very prestigious event. A chance for students across the spiral to compete for their school's honor. The tournament is held at Pigswick Academy, a rival school to Ravenwood, located on the world of Wisteria. After reviewing all eligible students, Headmaster Ambrose and the other professors chose you to be our representative. You will need this ring to show that you're our champion. The student to defend Ravenwood's honor in the tournament. Mr. Lincoln hands you a heavy ring with an emblem of Bartleby inscribed upon it. Be sure to put that somewhere safe, mind you. Perhaps lock it away in a drawer. It's too precious to carry around loose. Now the spiral door will take you to Wisteria. When you get there, see the Pigswick Academy registrar, Mrs. Dowager. She'll get you set up and see that you're taken care of. Good luck. To Wisteria. Go complete, explore, Murshuu, Loll. Loll, you're not even in Murshuu. Wow, how did you... That's a bug, right? Surely that's a bug. Could be. I'm pretty sure that's a bug. I'm not sure about that. I'm 100% sure that's a bug. Oh, hey, Mr. Pigswick. Her face, though. It's a Pigswick Academy. Let's do this. Hello there. You must be our visiting wizard. Welcome to Pigswick Academy. I'll need to see your Ravenwood ring. Just a formality, of course. You show Mrs. Dowager the ring Mr. Lincoln gave you. She is excellent. Be sure to put that somewhere safe. You're here, of course, to build a sense of community between the different magic stories. And to try to win the spiral cup. Go to the tournament hall to take a look at it. Then speak to Benedict Glenn Dimming. He is both master of arms and our judge. You will probably need to demonstrate your skills in a qualifying match. So, be on the ready. When you've passed the qualifying round, return to me and we'll get you sorted out. How exciting. She talks a lot and it's annoying. Her voice is annoying and she talks a lot. It's one thing that I had about this place. There's too much talking. Let's see spiral cup. You expect the spiral cup. The greatest prize in all the spiral. It looks like it's been here a while. Benedict Glenn Dimming. Get ready to get ripped scruffed. Are you fighting someone already? Yeah. Benedict Glenn Dimming. Master of arms of pigs. For years I have taught magic and dueling with my training. Pig students have won the spiral cup again and again. I'm also the judge of this fine competition. My decisions are as fair as they are final. You come from visit city, no? You have my sympathy. Let us see if that charlatan Diego has taught you anything of worth. To qualify for the tournament, you must step into the chamber of the basilisk, if you will. And defeat blaze. There is no shame in defeat, so do not feel too badly if you do not succeed. Perhaps next year, no? Here's no hoping us. Like, honestly. It's kind of sad. I fizzled off so well. That's awkward. Well, well, well. A wizard of Ravenwood, huh? I'll go easy on ya. I'm gonna, um... Fix me deck a bit. That should be actually fine. All five acts. Watch out, wizard. Pigswick folk are cheaters. They'll break the rules whenever they can get away with it. Apparently pigswick folk are cheaters. Then they'll break the rules whenever they can get away with it. In other words, cheating bosses. You need cheating bosses. They're cheating. They cheat. Damn, the line is the... main person. I'm coming. 15%. This is gonna hurt. Oh, he's using a lit popcorn vile. I thought it would hurt, but then I realized that it's life on lit popcorn. So it's not actually gonna hurt. Let's see... What are you gonna do? What's the worst you can do, eh? Fire. Are you doing fire blade? Have you done? You defeated him? You wrecked him, aye? Yeah, yeah. I'm about to get him wrecked. Are you refreshing it? Oh my god, your OP. Refreshing your auras like that? Wow. Who do you think you are? Do you think you're good or something? I'm about to defeat him. You know, just two blades. Two flames. Are you out of your mind? No, you just died. Good. Get wrecked, mate. They got wrecked. Rooked, let's see. Hello. No, they just don't play. See Mrs. Dowager outside. She will see to your accommodations within the student dormitory. They're cheeky, aye? They're very cheeky. They're very up themselves. They're school. It's been so long since a Ravenwood student competed. I was worried they'd given up teaching magic there. Now that we've determined you'll be staying to compete in the tournament, it's time to get you squared away. You should report to the student dormitory. There, you can meet the student she will be matched against and... You'll be sharing quarters with Beatrice Wildwind. Kisai Shugenja. Nallia Doonstrider. And... You should also take the opportunity to put your Ravenwood class ring away. There's a small dresser. It should be safe there. That's so obvious. It's not because they're... It's not because they're like, oh, you're too good. It's partly another reason, but you'll find that out when you listen to the story. I'm not sure how long this episode's been, but it's been a wee while, so we'll do a couple more things. I think. Hello, people. I'm here. I have longed to pit my magical skills against one of the Ravenwood school wizards. So this is fortuitous indeed. Who's next? Nallia Doonstrider from Mirage. It's a pleasure to meet you, student of Ravenwood. I am called Nallia Doonstrider and I come from a place called Mirage. I am unsurprised you have never heard of my world. It is a subtle place. An oasis in a desert of mystery. Perhaps we will speak more before the tournament. We probably will. You're the wizard city representative. The tournament has really lowered its standards this time around, I suppose. You don't think you have a chance of winning, do you? The spiral cup isn't going anywhere and I'll be the one to win it. Use the dresser. Because that's safe, right? That should be safe here. I'm just not reassuring you. Wow, poor thing. There we go. He walked into another building. He walked into another building. Shot them. Oh, it's the ice professor. Oh, yeah, you meet all the professors in a sec. I trust you had no trouble settling in. Oh, they don't call it the same. Are they like the Christ College? You'll see soon. You'll see soon. This guy's really failing to make him look slow. He is. He's very bad. Very bad. Very bad indeed. Bella Donna Crisp. Poor thing. The first order of business will be for you to go and meet the professors here. They're a top-notch group, without exception. I hope they can straighten out some of the foolishness Ambrose and his cronies may have passed along. The classrooms are located throughout the city. You should speak to everyone in whatever order you please. They are as follows. Professor Thaddeus Price, who teaches Tempest Magic. The Earth Professor is of very own Chester Draws. Chester Draws. Just wait for me over here. Do we get to go on? No. No. Why bother looking? Because we need to learn about them apparently. You know, it's just like what we did in Ravenwood when we first got there. Yeah, but we learned from them. We don't learn anymore. And that's a matter of course. It's not a matter. It's weird. Me. Lice. Welcome to the School of Earth Magic, young wizard. From the look of the soil on your boots, you're from Wizard City, right? I am Professor Draws. Chester Draws. Why are you smirking? At any rate, I teach Earth Magic here at Pigswick Academy. Magic of ground. Your boots are like the ride of my face. Because my school is that of the earth, I find it stifling to teach inside. So I lectured outside whenever possible. Yeah, that's why. Myth. I mean chaos. Oh my god, look at him. I know. Is that a Yeti? Teaching? I'd never expect that. Chaos. That's the sort of thing I teach here. I am Professor Heronimus Bunch, and Chaos Magic is my school of specialization. Chaos is the magic of the unexpected, the unusual, the unpredictable. It defies logic and turns things downside up. Anything and everything you can imagine can be found in chaos. Except order. Order is boring. You don't want to find that. We'll talk more later, I'm sure. Or am I? Oh my god. Why do they call them different things? Yeah, it's quite cool. Storm. Tempest. Storm. Tempest. Look at the pillars, go back. I know they call Tempest. Now go back and look at the pillars and walk into their classroom. I'm going to a Frost. Look at the pillars. It's water, it's so cool. A Gobla. Have you already talked to him? Well, hello there. I'm going to this one first, I don't know why. You want to learn about Frost magic? You should talk to someone who knows then. Oh, that would be me. Caught me off guard, you did. Right, where was I? I am Professor Quentin Purple at your service. You may have surmised that I am not from around these parts. I teach Pigswick Academy students about the nature of frost. Frost is fleeting and quick. A fragile and delicate thing. It appears rarely, but when it does, it forms crystals of amazing beauty and complexity. Frost is like magic in that. Do you understand frost magic now? Because I'm afraid I don't know more than that. I'm behind in my lesson preparation. Wow, some of these teachers are very subjectable to knowing much about their subject. Looking at you, Quentin Purple. Here's the next equilibrium. Hello. Who are you? Why hello there, young wizard. You have a look of a newcomer to Pigswick Academy. Welcome to my laboratory. I am Professor Velma Pepper and I teach the magic of equilibrium. My school represents bringing order to the spiral. The natural world is full of confusion and disorganization. And thus it is the role of the equilibrium wizard to create harmony. Use whatever tools we have. How dare you not even know what my school is. All are equal so long as they perform the task at hand. I trust that what I've taught you instills a semblance of order to your own world view. Now though, I must return to work. Caden, who am I going to next? Thaddeus Price. I've already spoken to you. Do you have something for him? Yeah, you can steal that. Actually no, it's on the table. It's a clock I think. Thanks for the clock mate. Soul of spirit I mean. Which is death. Yeah. Yeah. It's not as cool as Dwarven though it's a raven. Dirty raven. Oh my gosh. Look at this. A, another of those tiresome meet the professors to let me introduce myself then. I am professor Edna and I instruct pigswick students in spirit magic. Spirit magic concerns the ghostly state that exists after life. We are students of the immaterial world. I've heard of problems with professor Malastair back at Ravenwood. Maybe his assistant Dwarven will be better. Yup, he's definitely better than Malastair. Don't you agree? Dwarven. Yeah, better than Malastair. Um, what? This is the hidden master. Hidden mistress. Yeah, wait for me there because we're going to end the episode. We're going to end the episode there. I just need to talk to two more people. Tempest and Flame. This has come for an adventure. Hello. Greetings young wizard. I am professor Thaddeus Price professor of Tempest magic. I suppose you're interested in learning something about Tempest magic, right? Tempest magic is about duality in hidden meaning. Like the tide it's about the ebb and flow of life. The surface is stormy to be sure but beneath it is dark and quiet and the waters are deep beyond imagining. I gather they teach a slightly different approach at Ravenwood but I'm fairly certain that here we have it right. And Flame and then I'm done. Or is it Flame or what is it called? Ember. Ember, sorry. Sorry. Dance. Dancing fur crowns. Hello. I like how there's a like torch or floating. Pretty cool. The floating dish. Torch. Ember wizards are crafters, doctors and cooks using Flame to forge artifacts, treat injuries or bake cookies. So from the Ember we can learn much. Better to be safe and patient than to leap into action. I hope that explains things. Yay! Talk to Belladonna Cris. Crispy. Crispy cheese. Wow, nice dance moves there. You said you're not dancing. Lol. No, it's not. Wow. Wow. Oh, hello people in the episode here and next time we will go look at the fount of magic because apparently it's not just what she said that they shouldn't believe in. But anyway, thank you for watching. We'll see you next time and remember. Thank you for watching. Bye. Bye.
