"Of course, headmaster" Refia nodded, indeed having something in mind.

"Why not raise our students to become our own fighters, as well as defenders? The Mages Guild of the Second Era did that before, in collaboration with the Fighters Guild, except we don't have Fighters Guild members to help us train with blades and subterfuge.

My senior students can teach what they can regarding the two fields aside magic, and I can teach Alteration to the other students as you see fit.

To be short, we need to have our own official private army, but we need to keep it neither too small nor too large, or we'll either lose to the opposition or attract the wrong attention. Even so, we can't let the big ones bully us into submission.

I can help with training and research and development, but others will have to handle the other three important logistics that keep a faction running: Provisions, the Medical/Restoration field, and finally the Intelligence.

I know this, because my father formerly served in the Imperial Legion before. He taught me all this before he died. If you may, I'd like to put those lessons to use."
