Recollecting the environment around her Vinno finally got around o reading the hint on the pillar. This hint seemed like nothing but simple directions, and not a riddle. Yet it was perplexing, the Sphinx's song was nothing to scorn at. "Looks like we'll be playing an Oedipus this time, not the best motivator, aye?" Vinno whispered to herself as she finally managed to process the contents of the sign, as she recalls the story with the Sphinx that sang perplexing songs.
Vinno leaned against one of the pillars and tried to refocus on the general world around her, she gazed at the wandering students calmly with sullen eyes and an occasional raised eyebrow. To be frank, she was still a little shaken from being blashed a dozen feet by what ever rebound spell she triggered, and she didn't want to repeat the experience. Pulling out a small notebook with the words
"Trigonometry and Casting" she scribbled down a few words:
'Fliege, 30. Overlay method decoding attempt failed, unable to gather information, recalculate circle.' Vinno took a deep sigh, her attempts at cheating out the trial failed, just like previous years, expect this time was her last. Saddening, but not the biggest of deals.
Most of the students she had made her way with has scattered already, as more and more others started to flood into the area from various layers Vinno was a little lost for options. She wanted to try and decode the trail site's restricting spell again, but looking at the height of the beanstalk that seemed like a bad idea. Instead she kept on scribbling on the notebook:
"Adjust reference point, revise rounded numbers", but a voice and a hue that appeared in the corner of her eye cut off her trail of thought.
"Quite interesting and intriguing, huh?"
"Of course, with the amount of resources this school has, I won't be surprised if the limitation spells of this place is a perfect quadrigeminal." Vinno muttered, almost instinctively, as a comment about the riddle was made somewhere right beside her.
It took a second for Vinno to react, something really, really red was beside her. Vinno never did well with bright colors and lights, so this was quite a noticeable thing for her. Looking to the direction Vinno realized that it was someone's hair, it was a girl who can only be described as "she looks like she's on fire or something". It was also worth noting that the red tinted girl was also wearing a swimsuit top and shorts, something that Vinno cannot empathize within the slightest as she pulled her dark long coat tighter to keep out the wind. She was talking to a blonde tall young man, and they seem to be in the middle of something. "Oh." As Vinno finally realizes that she might have accidentally butted into someone's conversation, unlike most people she didn't really see an issue, honest mistake wasn't it?
"Oh, I apologize, didn't mean to interrupt." She snapped closed her notebook and look up at the two with a faint smile. "But yes, intriguing indeed."
