"You're correct, yes, but a bit more technical." Not that those technical terms weren't important. They might need them for exam purposes, but everyday world? Laymen terms were just as, if not more valuable. Which of course was why they had to know both.

SPOILER!!: those who chose more layman terms like Pythagorean!

"Yes, the Pythagorean system is the more widely used terminology for the Agrippan Method," Fina replied as those who all added this to their answers instead of Agrippan. She was actually willing to bet that those who learned mathematics in the muggle world learned about good old Pythagoras, with little knowledge of who he really was, of course. "Due to the fact that the Pythagorean Method is more common, we will mostly be working with that. So unless I tell you otherwise, then that is the system we use."

"Those aren't methods..." Fina commented at hearing a rather different suggestion about the two methods. "BUT, I will say that numbers and letters are what you use when dealing with the methods of Arithmancy. As mentioned by some of your classmates, you assign the letters A through Z to the numerical values of 1 through 9."

SPOILER!!: And of course, always those who add way more to the question ;D

Then two students, rather than adding more about the Pythagorean method - in which they used - they elaborated about the Chaldeans. And Josephina had to smile at this because of how rare it was that students actually knew a bit about the other method. Perhaps if she did teach a lesson using that method, she would have to keep Keefer and Kurumi in mind.

"Yes, you're both correct. The Chaldeans used a method that is not as widely known and definitely doesn't seem to line up as nicely as things do with the Pythagorean method."

But moving on because they spent just a bit longer than she expected on the two methods. "The numbers 1 through 9 each have unique symbolic meanings that correspond to the evolution of a person's life. So does it really come as a surprise to you that on some days you might feel certain vibes? Whether these vibes are color related or characteristics, they might be felt at different times in each of us, which could perhaps be attributed to whatever number is yours that day." She paused a brief moment. "Sometimes you might not understand why your friend says they are feeling strong... or feeling blue... Which is of course due to the nature of numbers. They are affective to each of us on a personal level; sometimes we feel their presence and other times we don't. Times when you may wish to pay attention to these days are when your number that day matches your life path or soul number, as what is a subtle influence in your life will become stronger as its added to the stronger influences in your life."

She paused as her glance fell on a couple of the newer students in the classroom who probably thought she was speaking French right now. "So let's backtrack just a bit off the daily vibes for a moment. Soul urge and Life Path numbers; what are they? How do you calculate them?" You know, since they were all related, it was a good idea to go back and review, yes?

ooc: my apologies. I meant to post again last night, but for some reason I just couldn't muster the energy at keeping my eyes open. Tis happens <3.

She stopped taking notes and looked at the teacher in a confused way.
