She sat back in her chair and listened as the Professor explained to the other students. Maybe she would learn something new, or some new way to apply the knowledge if she listened to the explanations and questions of the other students.

Macadrian hadn't been expecting Saylie to come back with a clever comment, so when she did, Macadrian nearly choked on her cocoa from snorting into laughter. As she tried to regain control of her breathing, Shackleton levitated some peppermint extract to the table and added two drops to Saylie's mug. She then added two drops to her own and rested the extract on the table.

Once the cocoa was settled, Professor Shackleton asked curiously, "Are you studying Ancient Runes and Divination in addition to Arithmancy?"

"So in your philosophy, ideally, you tend to analyze the numbers that show what tools you are in possession of, and use the information on other numbers to address your own path to personal growth? Am I understanding that?"

Shackleton was pleased that Xana appeared to be satisfied with her explanation and was more pleased that Xana was becoming aware of the true benefits of Arithmancy. "You are understanding quite right! After all, what is the point of learning and studying anything if not for personal growth, right? Everything I get from the numbers, I apply to my conception of who I am now and who I want to become. I use the information as a guide to help me get to where I want to be and who I want to be. Personally, I find it a rather useful tool. Perhaps you will too as you advance your understanding and acceptance of the subject."
