Elijah looked at Oliver it wasn't clear whether his face was scrunched up or in pain from Oliver perspective, but Elijah kept giving him the Bad Eye, while Paul beamed at him waving his hand towards him saying
"come over, there's plenty of space here for anyone to seat, and don't mind Elijah, he lost something dear to him today"
Making Elijah face already scrunched, even more squeezed
Oliver nodded his head then walked and sat down next to Paul, who kept smiling at him, seeing the smile Oliver felt strange wanted to say something but kept quite as the teacher had begun speaking.
On the board, he had written a single long word in large, clear Latin letters.
Professor Elias his finger pointing at the words
"Don't look at the letters yet. Look at the bones of the word. We have so many hero's who rose up against the tides in legend's it is because of them we have the barely maintained semblance of peace we have today, now we know their achievements, their glory but do we know the most fundamental thing present which is found present in many of those hero's and after research we believe to be a key factor which led to their success, so today we look at the word "Enthousiasmos"
the moment he said word "Enthousiasmos", Oliver felt a shift in the air, as if some things where trying to say something to him, though he couldn't hear the words, nor whispers, just a feeling.
The Teacher writes out the word; 'EN - THOUS - IAS - MOS' on the board,
Oliver looking at the words felt strangely familar to them but could not place where the feeling came from, not that he had seen the word before, the feeling came from his bones within him, he was in thought when Paul called out
"Enthusiasm, Like being excited" Paul said to the teacher
"Exactly, in 2nd Century of PT Calendar, it wasn't just 'excitement.' It was a state of being possessed, let's break it down step by step"
the Professor said in a state of excitement with energy which wasnt present before the lecture started talking
His finger pointing to the first part of the word as he began speaking
"EN, this is simple, It means 'In' , To be inside something,
'THOUS', this is the core, 'T-H-E-O-S', this means 'God', think of theology or theocracy,
'IASMOS', this is a suffix indicating a 'State of being',"
