[Text] How are you holding up amongst all these nerves? -Ken

Text: It’s a hard line to toe between being there for the students and reminding them of why this punishment is necessary, isn’t it? I always struggled with that part, but at my old Institute, it was a lot more black and white. Wide Punishments were very frequent in that school, but almost always deserved by the majority of the student body. Here, the majority of them are innocent, but it’s still a valuable lesson for them all. How are you doing?

[Text] It’s quite a fine line, yes. It sounds like your previous Institute had quite the behavior problem. Truthfully, I don’t understand the rule itself. It’s alcohol. They’re adults. They should be able to make the decision to drink in their homes if they want to. However, it is a rule, and Mr Hart shattered the rule into pieces. The innocent students will have the value of a solid rules system reinforced with the wide, and that can only ever be a good thing. I’d say I’m looking forward to when I stop having my students jump at the slightest unexpected movement, though I imagine it will take several weeks for that to be the case.

Text: My previous Institute was in a low income neighbourhood, and students could only attend if they met the low income government subsidy requirements. They were often kids straight out of foster care, or prison in some cases. Many of them had issues that went far beyond what we were equipped to help them with, and I’m sorry to say that the successful claim rate out of that school was very low. I did my best to help the students there, but there’s only so much help you can give to someone who does not wish to help themselves. 

Having come from that school, I can very much see why alcohol is not allowed on campus. Mixing alcohol with scenes is a very poor idea, especially for those who are still learning. Even if alcohol was allowed, spiking the punch was a very stupid and dangerous thing to do... Mr. Hart will be joining my class next semester, I can only hope I’ll be able to help him.

PM from Mika: Hello, Archer. It's been a while since I've heard from you and I wanted to check in and see how you were making out with that homework assignment from our last session.

[PM] Hi, Mr. Hill. I haven’t exactly started it yet.

@mr-mika-hill

[mr-mika-hill]

archer-clarington​:

[PM] No, Mr. Hill. Just haven’t felt like it.

PM: I see. Have you changed your mind then about our tutoring sessions? 

[archer-clarington]

[PM] No, Mr. Hill. I just thought I was supposed to do it whenever I got around to it?

[mr-mika-hill]

PM: True enough, but it has been well over a month since our last appointment. I trust you have enough on your mind with the impending Wide punishment, but I would like it if you could touch base with me afterward. If you are waiting "until you feel like it" then I assure you, Archer, this assignment will never get done.

Welcome to Lima Heights, Aaron. My name is Mika Hill and I’ve recently taken over the position of Submissive Studies Instructor here. While you last name indicates to me you likely don’t need a tour or the likes, but I like to make it known to all of my students that I am available for any help you may require.

Hey, Mr Hill. I guess that means you’re going to be one of my teachers, right? I definitely don’t need a tour, but thanks. I’m not really sure what other kind of help I’d need, though.

[mr-mika-hill]

Well you are coming in halfway through the semester, there's going to be material you'll need to catch up on. I'll be emailing you a list of suggested readings from the text book, and I'm available through office hours every day after classes if you have questions.

[aaronsylvester-deactivated20210]

The moment you’ve all been waiting for is here. The first of the next generation of Sylvesters is walking among you! The name’s Aaron, the mark is submissive, the attitude is perfection.

Now, who’s going to take me to this dance so I don’t have to serve?

Because I know far too many of you care, and by “too many”, I mean mostly the submissives I teach, I have decided to shave, and I’ve gone back to being a blonde. My boy loves this look on me far too much for me to ever deny him it for too long.

Plus, there’s nothing better than getting to re-incorporate a little service with a straight razor into Stan’s morning routine. Dominants, never be afraid to teach your submissives how to pamper you.

[mr-mika-hill]

I think I have to agree with Stan, Sir. This is a very good look on you.

PM: Oh? And why’s that? Do you need any clarification or assistance? 

[francofogarty]

PM: Hello, Franco. Administration has informed me you are a returning student here. My name is Mika Hill and I'm the new submissive studies instructor. You may call me Mr. Hill. I've attached some resource material from the semester so far for you to peruse, and I expect you'll come and talk to me if you have any questions or need any assistance. Welcome back.

PM: Hello Sir, I am a returning student and I will be starting from the beginning again. I am grateful for the resources Sir and I look forward to whatever it is gotta cover going ahead. I did do this course once before but my parents decided it would be better for me to relearn  a few things due to stuff that happened when I was away Sir. 

@mr-mika-hill

[mr-mika-hill]

PM: Sometimes the best place to start over is the beginning. I run office hours every day after classes let out and I do offer private tutoring services as well. Please don’t hesitate to book some time with me if you’re struggling or need help.

I did Mr. Hill! It was super full of events. I’m feeling really good though. I even got little hair starting to grow back. Pretty soon no one will see the scars at all. And Sir Kirin and my brother and sister made sure I had lots of rest. I don’t know. Do you think so Mr. Hill? I’ll try really hard. 

I’m glad you’re feeling good, Skylar. I know so, and I also know you’re going to try your hardest. But I want you to be honest and tell me if it starts to be too much, okay? To start with though, I think we should schedule some time after class tomorrow to help you catch up on the things you missed. 

[mr-mika-hill]

sunnysky-evans​:

Hi Mr. Mika. I’m a little scared to go back to class. I’m soooo behind! 

How are you feeling, Skylar? I heard you had a rather eventful Holiday break. Don’t be sacred about being a little behind, I’m sure between the two of us we can catch you up, don’t you think? 

[mr-mika-hill]

I do hope all of you are prepared for classes tomorrow. I understand it’s hard to get back into school mode after such a wonderful trip, but we must not lose sight of why we’re here.

“I know what my mark is, Mr. Hill. That’s why I’m here talking to you,” Archer snapped, though he knew Hill didn’t deserve it. “Sorry,” he said, looking down at his lap for a moment before returning his gaze to the other man. He nodded. “I do want to continue,” he said quietly. “I can do that. What should I ask them?”

Mika didn’t acknowledge Archer’s minor outburst except to give him a stern stare. He knew that Archer knew that wasn’t appropriate behaviour in front of a teacher, and that much was made clear when Archer immediately apologized. Good. No harm done, Mika would leave it and move on. “Ask them things about their mark. Things like what their day to day life is. Ask them how they felt when they first got marked compared to how they feel now. Ask them anything you like, really. Within reason, of course. Don’t go forcing them to share anything they’re not willing to divulge. You can either interview one person or a few, I’m not picky. When you’ve done that, contact me and we can arrange another time to meet. There’s no deadline, so do it at your own pace.”

“Yes, Mr. Hill,” Archer replied respectfully. “I always do give everything my best shot.” He licked his lips, his eyes narrowing a bit in confusion. “Submissives are an important part of our society,” he said. “Our marks are an integral part of the system and how we function within it. I don’t have anything against submissives. It’s just not what I was supposed to be.”

It definitely seemed like that answer was almost like it was from a text book. Archer understood the important role submissives played in society, but he didn’t see himself playing that role. Mika could sympathize, he knew it must be hard to play a role you didn’t feel meant to play, but he also knew it was imperative that this young man learned to see himself in that role and accept it. It was unreasonable to expect him to get there in just one session though. “But it is what you are, now.” He reminded gently. “Are you open to a bit of a homework assignment before our next session? Assuming you want to continue, that is... but I’d like it if you could interview a submissive you feel is a really good example of the mark before we meet next.”

Archer gave Hill a tight-lipped smile, grateful for the compliments even if they didn’t help him feel better in the slightest. “It’s not impossible, Mr. Hill, no. Submissives enlist quite often, but it is extremely rare for them to advance in rank very far. I am able to enter as an officer due to my ROTC participation, but I may not advance to even first lieutenant at all, even after the seven years that I’ll be there in order to meet my scholarship’s requirements. That’s hardly a success story to share with other submissives.”

“Hm, well I suppose all you can do is give it your best shot, right? You never know. There’s a first time for everything.” He cleared his throat and straightened a piece of paper on his desk. “I want to circle back, if we can, to your impression of the submissive mark as a whole.” He said, being careful about how he phrased that question. He felt it was important for Archer to evaluate his feelings about the mark apart from himself.

“I’m supposed to be a Dom,” Archer explained, though he quickly made a face at how the sentence felt, hanging in the air. “I mean, that’s what I always thought. But I guess with my mark and everything, I’m supposed to actually be a sub. It’s just… hard to really wrap my brain around, I guess. I have a job waiting for me as a Second Lieutenant as soon as I’m out of here, but even that’s laughable since how many people have ever heard of submissive Army officers?” He chuckled darkly and shook his head. “Sorry, Mr. Hill. I know I’m probably not what you were expecting when you came here.”

“Au contraire, Archer, students like yourself are the exact reason I love teaching. I can see life has dealt you some cards you weren’t expecting, but here you are in my office at least attempting to figure out how you can play that hand successfully. That shows me initiative, and ambition. Both of which are traits I’m sure will make you a fine officer in the military, regardless of your mark. Perhaps it’s rare to find submissives in the military, but it’s not impossible, is it?” Mika pointed out. “I think that you may end up paving the way for future submissives who wish to join the military but feel they cannot because of their mark.”

Archer was feeling distinctly uncomfortable as the conversation started to dig into his insecurities about himself and his mark. He knew if he got up and left now, though, he wouldn’t come back. “I wasn’t supposed to be a sub, Mr. Hill,” he explained. “I don’t like feeling weak. I don’t like wanting to be hurt. It’s… not who I’m supposed to be,” he repeated lamely.

Mika’s eyes narrowed slightly, wondering what had happened to make this boy believe submissives were meant to feel weak. He tucked that conversation on the back burner though, for a moment. “Who are you supposed to be, Archer?” He asked.
