Emmanuelle's curiosity had been piqued after reading the note on the noticeboard. Alchemy was not a subject that had been offered at her old school nor lectured about. In fact, it had never even been mentioned at all. So, she was pretty clueless about what alchemy even was.

With this in mind, Emmanuelle walked into the room that had been set aside specially for the lecture and was instantly mesmerized by the scrolling text. Or was trying to read it, more like. She shook herself out of this when the lecturer professor began to speak. Then she quickly found herself an empty table, hoping that the seat beside her wasn't taken by a young pipsqueak. Ugh, they were the worst!

"Hello, professor!"
