Valvyr suddenly laughs. "A school of magic? What an absurd idea. Everyone knows that magic is taught by one, two, or maybe even three elder magic-users, per student that is. No, this is a school of martial arts."
"Of course there are magic users there, some of the teachers might be magic users, but the school doesn't teach magic. They teach martial arts like Boxing and Tae Kwon Do."
"Great! I've got a mean right hook I've been wanting to practice!" Merad jabs at the air with his left, then hooks with his right. A loud grumble echoes in the hall, louder than the patter of the party's footsteps. "Say... Is there going to be food when we meet the High Priest?" Merad asks shyly.
Morgran groans. "What is it with the whole food thing? I've gone days without food before. You ate some half a day ago! Oh, and yeah. That hook is nothing when you could do this." Morgran punches the air so hard that whoever's in front of him can feel what feels like a brief, soft breeze pass through their hair, or onto their spine depending on how tall they are.

Merad's eyes widen. "Wow! Don't start a bar fight with this one."Clearly impressed with the dwarf's combat prowess, he turns back around and catches a glance of Aridove's mistletoe flame. Merad says a quiet prayer to the Heavens, then continues following Valvyr, hoping a giant breakfast of breads, cheeses, and meats are around a corner soon.
"Not bad, my dwarf friend! I'm glad you are with us" - laughs Theron - "I always hated to brawl against dwarves. They are generally stocky and sturdy, with a low center of gravity that makes them difficult to knock over and also very resilient and won't give up even in a long fight."

Circi raises an eyebrow at Morgran's retort, "That sounds like a fair question to me. It's in our best interest to make a good impression on the people we're fighting for."
As you turn the corner of the street, you come across a massive church, similar to that of St. Peter's Basilica. The front gate is being guarded by two 3rd Rate Knights, as seen by the three stars on their chest plates.
As you walk through the gates, a hushed silence falls upon you. The church doesn't seem like anything special, but there's this aura about it that gives you a sense of calm.
As you walk past the rows upon rows of chairs, you approach the chancel.
You see a being standing by the altar, although you cannot see their face. They are hunched over the altar, appearing to be reading something.
Merad takes in the grandeur of the Cathedral and prays quietly to the Good Gods Above. He doesn't wish to interrupt the priest in his work and defers to Knight Valvyr or the rest of the party. He places a hand on his tummy and feels a little rumble. He nervously glances to each side and back to the man reading, hoping no one heard.
Theron stands in silence with straightened back, hands linked behind. The same stand he used while giving a report for his superior officer back in the militia.

"When then what was the magic you mentioned earlier? Like, as a potential danger?"

-Archie
(so they teach Tae Kwon Do here, huh)
"Huh. Well, in that case, I guess I'm fine. I can punch really hard, although I prefer to use my nails."
I was wondering if I could use my nails as unarmed strikes, and deal slashing instead of bludgeoning damage.

OOC: depending on the form of martial arts. There will be a lot of different types to choose from.
-Archie
OOC: You can do that when using open-hand techniques, not closed fist ones. But we'll get into that when we get to the academy.
-Archie
"Well, in that case, I suppose it's best if we get moving."

"Nice combat capability I see... I can work with that.
No, there will be no food. The High Priest is simply going to bless us.
Speaking of which, we have arrived."

Morgran shrugs. He quietly says, so nobody can hear, "that's what you think."
