A little too healthy, if you ask me, answered Wagul, his speech now devoid of the inflections unique to the Lulus. Is your grandfather, rather, the chieftain doing well? Ludwig drew in a breath, moved by the profundity of it all.
That young boy was now standing before him as a young man, sparkling with nothing but potential. Ten years had passed since he’d walked into that forsaken district with Mia and witnessed its decrepitude. Suddenly, he was back in the old Newmoon District. The words sent a flurry of scenes spinning through Ludwig’s mind. He bowed toward the grandson of the Lulu chieftain, Wagul, who smiled bashfully at the deferential greeting. It is an honor to have my name remembered, Mr. Ludwig, said the young man.Īh, long time indeed. He was clearly from the forest tribe of Lulus and, more importantly, Ludwig knew him. He stopped and turned to find a young man with a strong frame. As he walked down the hallway, a voice called out to him. But anyway, that was the reason for Ludwig’s current visit to the academy.Īfter delivering a long lecture in which he passionately pontificated about Mia’s greatest achievements, he left the classroom feeling the pleasant fatigue of a job well done. She had not in any way asked him to take charge of the project, much less start teaching classes himself. When she’d gone to Ludwig, she’d told him to handle it accordingly, hoping he’d find some way to scrap the idea without upsetting anyone. Deeply honored by this show of trust, Ludwig had taken it upon himself to realize her vision, going so far as to deliver personal lectures to the academy’s students a few times a year.įor the record, when Mia had first heard the word Mialogy, she almost choked on her own spit. She’d immediately gone to Ludwig, deeming him suitable for the task.
It had come about a few years prior when Mia received a proposal for its establishment. The academy’s most important subject, Mialogy, was the study of Empress Mia’s feats and accomplishments, ensuring that future generations would remain informed about her historic exploits. One of Mia’s chief vassals, Ludwig Hewitt, had also received a direct order from her.Īs a professor of Mialogy, you are to teach the children about it. In adopting this ideal advocated by Empress Mia, the academy produced a great number of capable graduates. Enrolling young and talented students from across the empire without regard to their status or heritage, it brought nobles and commoners alike together under its educational banner, training them to become future leaders of Tearmoon. Saint Mia Academy, located in the south of the Tearmoon Empire near the Sealence Forest, was an educational institution that served as a symbol of the Tearmoon Empire.
