My favorite teacher is Cyrus Drake. I have always enjoyed his enthusiam for teaching. The one thing that I looked forward to when CL came out was to visit him for my lvl 58 spell. I worked extremely hard to get to that point just for that.
I kept wondering what sarcastic remark he would say or critism he would give. So, imagine my surprise when he was actually helpful and on the nice side. What happened to his condescending attitude?
I thought he would say something like; "Why I am surprise that you actually made it this far. Well, since you are here, I imagine that you have earned another spell. Just be quick about it, so you don't waste any more of my time."
Instead, he tells me I've earned the right to the spell and explains to me what it is. I was so hurt and disappointed. I always enjoyed how he never cuddled you and made you prove him wrong.
Besides that, and this may be my imagination, he was talking faster than usual, instead of that cool, I really don't care (but you know he does) mono tone voice of his. Didn't like that either.
I hope that KI brings the old Prof. Drake back for the next world and not this tea happy one.
At that point you had already defeated his brother. It is something Cyrus could not do, something no one could do. When you fought Cyrus for the right to go to Dragon Spire, do you think he was holding back? You defeated Cyrus with his own element, then defeated the most powerful necromancer the spiral has ever known. Cyrus has more experience, but you are more powerful. Cyrus is also greatful that his tormented brother is finally at peace. You have lifted a great burden from Cyrus's shoulders. So I do expect him to drop the condescending apathetic act.
Like it or not, you have earned his admiration and respect.
