Description:
Lawmage Academy is a school for training mages that act as law enforcement and monster exterminators. Some see this institution as a force for good while others see it as a means for the government to limit humanity's magical potential. As your silent protagonist studies here, they find that there are things worse than monsters and school schedules.

=======================================================
0:00 Combat Basics
Before starting this class, I recommend bringing at least one Enaqua Shard and making sure you don't have the tired status. If you have Enheal, you should buy more mana potions than health potions. You should also have some means of casting earth as well, but you don't need a means of casting fire, since you'll find a shard for that in the combat zone.
Three of the students are smug about how superior they are to the rest of the class, which angers, Alyssa, a student who looks a lot like Juna Crawford from Trails of Cold Steel III.
The teacher, Zelka, will teleport everyone to the combat area, where they need to find Arashiya Flowers.
4:35 Arashiya Forest
The majority of monsters are bats, which are weak to lightning and pierce. Even if you don't have those, they should be fairly easy to beat. I wish there was a more even distribution of enemy weaknesses for this dungeon, since a lot of people would probably not pick the spear due to how Ein already has one equipped.
The forest uses map depth to hide paths, so you might want to clear an entire map of its enemies so you can safely search every nook and cranny. Also, many of the resources here respawn for when you return at a later date.
You'll encounter three elemental obstacles. Bushes can be burnt with fire magic, boulders can be broken with earth, and bouncy plants can be grown with water. I already have earth from studying the spellbook and there's an Enburn shard, so the Enaqua Shard is needed for one of the chests. However, if you only have one Enaqua Shard, you should skip the chest for now, since there is a more important missable use for it.
11:46 Sylvia's Gang
Sylvia, Julius, and Basi are occupying the Arashiya Flower grove in order to prevent any other student from getting the flowers, since they have a sadistic fetish for seeing their classmates fail. They claim they're "helping" their classmates avoid the terrors of being a lawmage, but their willingness to injure Ponpon with lightning magic and leave us to die in a forest fire speaks otherwise. I suspect they may be terrorists.
Be sure to put out the burning Arashiya bush. It won't get you a flower now, but it apparently makes it easier to farm them later.
Once you escape alongside Alyssa and Ponpon, you can choose to report the incident, but there isn't enough hard evidence of the trio's crimes and Zelka blames us for being too weak and complacent to stop the terrorist bullies. Which is fucked up because the forest fire risks killing all the students, and not just us.
Oh, and you lose two days for that.
20:42 Allies
Past suggests making allies to grow strong together, allowing you to stand up to the bullies. You have to choose your first partner, and I chose Ein. The next day, you have to answer Ein's prompts in a way that pleases him, allowing you to recruit him and raise his invisible relationship value. Unfortunately, doing so uses up an entire day, somehow.
29:15 Combat Basics Retake
Talk to the student outside the school building for a quest to find his book.
It's confirmed that Sylvia prevented everyone else from passing the class, so we're not the only ones retaking it. The monsters in Arashiya Forest are stronger now, but you have an ally.
A gnome has the quest book, but he wants to keep it and offers to trade you a different book. I chose to fight the gnome for the original book.
40:15 Boss: Gnome
41:24 Back to the Mission
The Gnome is forced to give up the client's book. At the flower grove, you find that the flowers grew back, but now there's an angry fire spirit due to the forest fire.
45:43 Boss: Fire Spirit
I chose to spare it for the Flame Dagger.
47:34 Mission Complete
Be sure to answer Zelka's question correctly about weaknesses, since that will permaboost your magic.
