The mana-integration curriculum started on the first Monday of month three.
Master Siru had said almost nothing during the first two months. She had attended the shared theory sessions, sat at the side of the hall while Yeon Daesik ran his lectures, and watched. Not passively. The way a person watched when they were building a complete picture of something and didn't want to form conclusions before they had enough of it.
Now she had her own dedicated session block, three mornings a week, in the inner forge hall where the stations were built for sustained heat work rather than analysis. She walked in ahead of the cohort and was already standing at the central demonstration forge when they filed in, which told you the same thing her platform posture at orientation had told you: she was already working while you were still arriving.
