“Discuss, debate, There are no wrong answers in my class.” Nana added, petting the thorax of the spider now comfortably seated on her forearm.

So, basically, from what Genny could tell so far, ALL the fun and interesting guesses were a no and it was something boring and fundamental and blah blah blah. The disappointed look (that they were not learning how to transform into fish) was visible on her face as she folded her arms on the table and leaned forward on them, already giving up on the theoretical part of this lesson. Discuss and debate as if it was an interesting topic in the first place, pft. Sigh.

She looked sideways at the water tanks, her eyes gave the beautiful flora inside a sorrowful look. What a waste of such beauty on studying insects and such. In fact, she didn't even understand what they were discussing, she didn't pay much attention after the professor turned all the guesses down and started using long words with vague meanings. Why did professors have to make everything sound so difficult and un-fun?

No matter. Genny could find fun. If she looked hard enough...the little boy's answer made her groan quietly. This class was obviously for crazy boys. Hmph.
