 +{{ :readable:saga:demised.scholar:anaxa2-1.png?200|}}
 +This is a tale buried in history:\\
 +One day, a student elated in victory,\\
 +Dashed around the Grove's territory —
 +
 +//<color #993333>"I saw the spell the professor carved on his body!"</color>//[(Spoken by Phainon.)]\\
 +The youth with white hair was beside himself in joy,\\
 +//<color #993333>"It must be a power most secret, a means for one man to stand against a thousand!"</color>//
 +
 +That spell was rare indeed, for it was —\\
 +A secret way to overturn a cart of hay.
  
 ---- ----
  
 ==== 2-2 ==== ==== 2-2 ====
 +The scholar was still a mortal body,\\
 +As yet to snatch life from death,\\
 +Or to reforge a new flesh through a god's remedy.
 +
 +Various minute tricks and parody,\\
 +He studied them all, crafting schemes, oh so busy.
 +
 +For everyone knows —\\
 +He wishes not to use the divine power that is his, refusing rightful custody.
 +
 +And in that unwitnessed moment of his death, final tragedy,\\
 +He still held the hay cart spell steady,\\
 +Standing alone, facing the evil enemy.
 +
 +Now, that craft is regarded as a magnificent study,\\
 +Not because of what it was,\\
 +But because of its purpose, known to everybody.
  
 ---- ----
  
 ==== 2-3 ==== ==== 2-3 ====
 +In fact, he once crafted "miracles" —\\
 +Forging silent servants, using soil as a vehicle.
 +
 +Though no sentience, they do their job without obstacles,\\
 +Rivaling Titankin in spectacle.
 +
 +However, one day he suddenly changes his tune —
 +
 +//<color #993333>"Creation is the Titans' work,\\
 +And slavery is the Titans' manacle."</color>//
 +
 +//<color #993333>"When imitating divine evil,\\
 +There's no need to invest reason most pinnacle."</color>//
 +
 +When the servants have all been recycled,\\
 +He deigns not to explain,\\
 +Fearing to waste his reason or muscle,\\
 +So he jokingly concludes the questioning with a chuckle —
 +
 +//<color #993333>"If it's just for odd jobs, students are a better gamble."</color>//
  
 ---- ----
  
 ==== 2-4 ==== ==== 2-4 ====
 +The way he addresses himself comes from elsewhere,\\
 +An imitation of a divine machine, with some flair.
 +
 +He happily answers "five questions" for those unaware,\\
 +Knowledge seemingly given with stingy care.
 +
 +//<color #993333>"For a wise one,\\
 +Five answers reveal creation's secrets, the truth hidden and bold."</color>//
 +
 +//<color #993333>"But a fool,\\
 +Learns but naught and is left in the cold."</color>//
 +
 +//<color #993333>"Now, inquire."</color>//
 +
 +{{ :readable:saga:demised.scholar:anaxa2-4.png?200|}}
 +That is in fact the scholar's crafty snare —
 +
 +He hides the answer he seeks behind questions posed by those unaware,\\
 +Doling breadcrumbs as bait to lure and compare,\\
 +Whether the inquirer may be worthy of his wisdom to share.
  
 ---- ----
  
 ==== 2-5 ==== ==== 2-5 ====
 +The scholar never looks at laws and measurements,\\
 +Ignoring the flow and shift of time's passage,\\
 +And uncomprehending students gossip in eager regiments.
 +
 +//<color #993333>"Why? Obviously to drag out class time as a statement."</color>//[(Spoken by Phainon.)]\\
 +The student's answer seems rather adamant.
 +
 +//<color #993333>"He is panicked by the flow of time,\\
 +For his work is yet done, yet to implement."</color>//[(Spoken by Hyacine.)]\\
 +The stubborn assistant interjects in a rare display of testament.
 +
 +//<color #efe4B0>"This man is too arrogant,\\
 +{{ :readable:saga:demised.scholar:anaxa2-5.png?200|}}
 +And he intends to desecrate Oronyx's accomplishments."</color>//\\
 +The passing sage from another school brings admonishment.
 +
 +Outside the courtyard, the gossip flows into the scholar's ear.\\
 +He silently gives a grade to every question and argument,\\
 +But none know the true answer, according to his judgment.
