[ Robin can't say that operating the video recording device came naturally to her when her world was medieval in terms of technology, but she's always been a quick study. She was never above asking for help, and it wasn't hard when she literally lived next to a myriad of instructors. She sits at her desk with the posture of a noblewoman who had been trained by Maribelle for awhile, but her shoulders are noticeably slacked - a habit that nobody could really drive out of her ]
Hello! I'm the new tactics instructor at Smash Academy. It's good to - ah, meet you all. I have to say, all this equipment is pretty impressive. Almost like magic, really. Not that I really got this...er... 'keyboard' figured out, so you'll get to hear me talk for a bit instead.
[ Is it really a meeting if there isn't face-to-face interaction involved? Setting foot at the academy was a lesson in learning not to question everything that she experiences. Not for now, at least. If Robin wasn't really sure of what she was doing, then she certainly didn't show it. At least she's not the overly fidgety type ]
You can call me Robin, but feel free to attach any titles that you personally feel comfortable with. I don't really mind. If you want me to call you anything in particular, then feel free to speak up. I'll be starting to teach next term, but it would be good to acquire some familiarity with potential students and colleagues by then. I'll see some of you soon, hopefully!

Tactics? What kind of tactics will you be teaching?

[ Robin learned quickly that apparent age wasn't necessarily an indication of enrollment or employment. Especially when the headmaster was...a gloved hand and half the students didn't even appear to be human ]
Ground-based and aerial, mostly. I'm going to have to come clean and say that I don't have as much experience at sea, but that is something that I am trying to improve during my time here.
[ Setting half a fleet of ships ablaze didn't seem like a viable strategy for every situation, after all ]

But what KIND of tactics, though? Liiike.. one on one fighting tactics? Or military tactics? Or Pokémon battle tactics? There are lots of things that you can use tactics for! I came up with a whole big list of tactics for successfully raiding the cookie jar, for example!

Tactics from the eyes of the chessmaster, of course. I usually leave the physical training to the senior knights. There's no need for a gifted tactician to be a master in everything, just enough to understand the capabilities of those under their command. But yes, you could certainly use the things that you learn in my class to plan such...endeavors.
[She's just grateful that supplies weren't as rationed here as they were in the army ]

I'll try my best! I can't wait to see you in class!
