"Before starting the regular lessons, I'd like for the parents to introduce themselves to the rest of the class just like your children did on their first day in our school. Who wants to go first?" Nanth asked.

He had Filia's and Frey's classes "conveniently" merge for the day so that he didn't have to repeat himself.
"Hi, everyone. I'm Archmage Zogar Vastor, vice-Headmaster of the White Griffon and Head of its light department. These are my children, Filia and Frey. I hope we'll get along well." He wore a warm smile and his tone was that of the average man.

Their children were instructed to behave and those slow on the uptake learned the hard way that disrespect would be no longer tolerated.
