After Dam Son’s skilful display of crafting a level-3 Augmented Weapon without prior knowledge or experience, the students began viewing Wordsmith Mastery in a new light.
Ms Philosopho asked her students, “Now that I’ve demonstrated to you the basic brilliance of Wordsmiths, do you still think that they are only good for refining Mundane Letters?”
“No ma’am!” Answered the students in unison; some were even trembling as they spoke.
“I had no idea a Wordsmith’s abilities would be so terrifyingly amazing! Imagine if I could craft myself a legendary Augmented Weapon.”
“Then it would save your family a whole lot of Q-currency!”
“I know right? Plus it would save me a fortune in having somebody else refine Mundane Letters for me.”
“Now I am considering to choose Wordsmith as one of my main masteries. Who cares about strength in this peaceful age? Money is what matters. If I could craft such high-tier items and sell them, I would become very rich! Ha-ha-ha-ha!”
“Tsk, how shameless.” Cinder Burn scoffed at a neighbouring student whose eyes were consumed by greed. “Q-currency isn’t all that matters.”
“Hm?” As the students continued to pass conversation amongst themselves, Dam Son realized something strange. “How can this be…?” To find an answer for his puzzlement, he garnered the attention of Ms Philosopho. “Teacher, may I ask a question?”
“Hm?” Ms Philosopho glanced at Dam Son then washed her icy gaze over the rest of the class for them to be quiet. “Go ahead, asked your question.”
“Alright.” Dam Son stood while caressing his head. “I don’t know if this is a side-effect of assimilating with that script but I ah… I can’t remember how I crafted that blade.”
“What? He can’t remember?” The students stared at Dam Son fixedly.
Ms Philosopho clarified to the entire class by saying to Dam Son, “Don’t wear such a worrisome expression. What you are experiencing is a common side-effect of utilizing an inferior Script Engram. Once it wears off the knowledge and experiences acquired will also disappear with it. This is intentional programming done by Wordsmiths to prevent others from stealing their knowledge to use for their own benefit.”
“Oh, so that’s it? For a second there I thought I lost important bits of my memories.” Dam Son shrugged off the matter with a soft grin. He sat back down in his seat; awaiting further instructions.
Ms Philosopho put away the Arcane Bath along with the Augmented Weapons. “Now then… huh?” As she opted to continue her introductory lessons, she noticed Ms Enjoy returning to her office while notifying her of the time. “Already?”
Ms Philosopho turned to her students. “Okay, it appears that due to the lack of time, I will have to stop the introductory lesson here for the day. That’s it. You can take your leave with Ms Enjoy.”
“Thank you for your instructions, Ms Philosopho!” The students offered their gratitude toward Ms Philosopho as they got up from their desks and followed Ms Enjoy out of the room.
Seeing the students leaving her office, Ms Philosopho remembered something vital. “Wait!” She stopped them abruptly, picked up a few pamphlets from her desk then tossed them forwards. “Don’t forget to take one for each person.”
The floating pamphlets found their way toward each of the students. Ms Philosopho explained their usage. “On there, you will find general information about my teaching schedule. For those of you who wish to spend more time owning your Wordsmith attributes, fill out the required form and submit it. After it has been reviewed successfully, you will gain access to bonus lessons that won’t be thought in general. Ok, that is all I wanted to say.”

“Alright, teacher.” Each student took a pamphlet as they exited Ms Philosopho’s office.
“I hope those brats don’t turn down my offer. Wordsmith is the best mastery after all.” With a flick of her fingers, Ms Philosopho freed up some space in her office by transforming the desks back into portable Noun Scripts.
…… Sometime later,
Ms Enjoy brought the students to another area of interest where they would get accustomed to the next Word Mastery. Unlike the huge refinery where Ms Philosopho’s lessons took place, this next locale was at the centre field within Caromine Institute, surrounded by lush vegetation, stone formation, also a protective barrier. This subject of mastery required a vast, moreover, adequate environment for proper training.
“Wow, this place is strangely decorative.” Dam Son had never seen something so miraculous before. He spotted some students having friendly sparring matches within the supernatural classroom. “So those people are known as Word Augmenters…?”
“Follow me inside, everyone.” Ms Enjoy directed her students downwards a mystical stairway that led them to one of the main entrances of the training grounds.
“Oh, you came earlier than expected.” A male student who was waiting by the entrance greeted Ms Enjoy as she approaches. “Teacher is expecting you. This way…”
They followed the student towards a secluded area within the naturalistic classroom which was out of reach of surrounding distractions. There, Dam Son along with the others became aware of their Word Augmenter teacher.
An alluring woman enrobed in sexy warrior apparel which caressed her body as if they were inseparable lovers, was standing on the centre stage surrounded by training contraptions. Her tall tresses were beautifully swaying according to the motion of the wind. Intertwined within the tip of her dark strands was a light object which resembled the form of a dumbbell. For a Demi-Human, she possessed an invigorating visage that could revitalize the virility of an aged man. Yes, she was gorgeous beyond reprieve, moreover, her unparalleled looks could diversify the premise of standard beauty. Albeit, a sensual dame she was, her expert abilities as a Word Augmenter sought no comparison with her colleagues.
Teacher Enjoy came over and greeted the idle woman. “Ms Ever Moist, I’ve brought the new students as instructed. I implore you to go easy on this bunch.”
“Hmm…” Ms Ever Moist reciprocated Ms Enjoy’s warm greeting then directed her sharp eyes toward the students. “Huh?” When her eyes landed on Cinder Burn's imperious demeanour, her gaze went peeled.
“Interesting, that child has great potential.” With a single glance, Ms Ever Moist surmised Cinder Burn’s latent abilities. She finally made a move by stepping forwards.
“Good afternoon students and welcome to my classroom. You may address me as Ms Ever Moist. Until the term is up I will be your default Word Augmenter instructor, that is, if you chose otherwise. From my brief overview, I can already tell that they are some potential Word Augmenters among you. I’m looking forward to seeing your substantial growth.”
“Hm…?” Cinder Burn’s eyes met with Ms Ever Moist for the first time. She felt startled. “Could she have figured out my identity? No, that’s impossible. I managed to fool even those great elders, so even she can’t… huh?” Cinder Burn noticed a slight grin formed on Ms Ever Moist’s serene visage and quickly averted her gaze.
“Wow, that teacher is smoking hot!” The lascivious students of the group passed secret whispers amongst themselves.
“No doubt about it. She’s even prettier than my mom.”
“I wish to be in her class all day long. Probably some of her beauty will rub off on me.”
“Nonsense! There is no way for an ugly girl like you to steal Ms Ever Moist’s beauty.”
“Even her name is lewd! She must be a very naughty person behind the scene. He-he.”
“What are you grinning about? There is no way my sweet Ever Moist would do such an obscene thing!”
“Since when did she become yours? You don’t even have a worm in your pants to impress her.”
“You bastard! What did you just say?” Their friendly conversation turned into a quarrel very quickly. Teacher Enjoy had to intervene to silence them.
“That is enough of you! Be more respectful in the presence of your seniors.”
“We’re sorry, teachers!” Finished with their formal apology, the students gave their attention ahead.
Ms Ever Moist just smiled at them then turned around. She went further onto the spacious stage; specifically where a group of training dummies were present.
“What is she going to do?” Dam Son asked himself secretly.
They all witnessed Ms Ever Moist flashing her tall tresses to her anterior. Additionally, she grasped the dumbbell intertwined within her lacks. The moment she disentangled her strands from the mystifying object, it began expanding by vast proportions. The dumbbell-shaped Augmented Weapon grew to the height of its wielder.
With her revealed ace now poised at her side, Ms Ever Moist acquired a serious expression as she prepared for battle. While glaring at the students, she drew a large circle with her feet and spoke commandingly. “Come! Anyone capable of making me take a step outside this circle will be acknowledged by me. A prize will also be given.
