Alvin had begun to take down notes from both the information that Ms. Naruha had given as well as the answers from the other students filling up most of the paper in his notebook as he sat the pencil down and continued to listen. Grabbing his book to the proper page and smile knowing just a bit on the copper age and two of the weapons used that made many of the nomads suriviors. Standing up for a moment he would finally speak up," Another popular weapon that had been around in the copper ages was the bow and arrow which replaced the traditional sling shot. The reason for the bow and arrow being a popular weapon was that it allowed nomads and the like to hunt more sufficiently and from longer ranges," after answering he would slowly sit down and write something down in his notebook before looking around to see if anyone else would answer.

It was a little silly that she didn't even consider the fact that the body was the weapon that was being looked for, but at the same time she had given a good answer with what she did write. But now she had been listening to what was going on, listening to the answers and to what the teacher had been saying. The Copper Age was one of the first ages of weapons and everything kinda fell into place after all of that because of what was made and done with the copper. But that wasn't really the point right now in fact she was listening and then when she heard one of the males more or less repeat what the teacher had said, she just looked at them with a rather...Unimpressed sort of look. Well since that wasn't really going to help matters much she thought on it for a moment and then it clicked. She knew what was going to be looked for, or rather what she thought was going to be looked for, so she rose her hand to signal that she knew the answer, or wanted to answer again and after that she started to write down the answer, or what she thought it was.
"The weapon that you might be asking for is the Trident. It was something that was used a lot as a fishing tool because of the three prongs and the shape. It was also used in gladiator fights. They would catch their foes in nets and then would finish them off with the tridents. Its also shown in the hands of some of the Gods of the time. Usually the gods of the sea because of the tie in with the fishing." And with that, she went and handed the teacher the paper that she had written in and hoped that it was right, and hoped that she did better than what she did with the other answer. Sure it was a good answer, but she wanted to help the class and the teacher. So...hopefully this was what the teacher was looking for. |

 No idea how many words. | "Khopesh... from Egypt. Because they could be used as an axe, a sickle or a sword. It eventually became a symbol of power to be able to wield one." Noe smiled and she stood up.
"Nice answer Creed!" She stated with a smile. She was in a good mood until she heard the next answer someone gave. Alvin, he even stood up.
," Another popular weapon that had been around in the copper ages was the bow and arrow which replaced the traditional sling shot. The reason for the bow and arrow being a popular weapon was that it allowed nomads and the like to hunt more sufficiently and from longer ranges, She simply sat there and stared at him
"You know..." She started.
"That isn't a very good answer... You know why?... Because if you had actually been paying attention mister Solince! You would have heard me already state that the bow and arrow rose in popularity and replaced the spear. You get detention for trying to be a smart ass, you also get minus marks for paying no attention in my class and we've only just started. Please note everyone else, do not do what he did and pretty much repeat what I said like a parrot only applying a sling to it or you'll find yourself with minus marks." She stated with a sigh before she pointed to the door. There was some anger and her eye twitched for a moment before she looked at Sera and her demeanour changed.
"The weapon that you might be asking for is the Trident. It was something that was used a lot as a fishing tool because of the three prongs and the shape. It was also used in gladiator fights. They would catch their foes in nets and then would finish them off with the tridents. It's also shown in the hands of some of the Gods of the time. Usually the gods of the sea because of the tie in with the fishing." Now Noe smiled and nodded.
"Top marks miss Astear. Yes, the weapon I was looking for specifically was the Trident. The Triden has three pongs as the head and was popular with gladiators, a gladiator would use a trident to kill another gladiator who lost the game and deal the finishing blow. The trident was also used by mythoglogical gods such as Poseidon the sea god." She smiled and now she looked at Alvin.
"Before I continue, if you're not going to pay attention to my lessons Alvin? You may as well get out and pick a different class to take, because I'm not going to waste my time teaching someone who really has fuck all interest in my class... So go on... Get out and don't bother showing up to the next lesson unless you genuinely want to learn. If you do want to learn? Pay. Attention. Or you'll fail. Do I make myself crystal clear?" She was harsh but it was true, if the kid wasn't going to pay attention? Why the hell was he in here?
"Okay! Moving on! The Copper age was pretty much a huge time for people in the world to develop their weapons. Now The Sumerians also did something else they had devised a strategy to attack their enemies while riding chariots. They domesticated animals and used them to pull the chariots and the bow and arrow and even the spear were used on these chariots mostly because they were the perfect guided weaponry that was needed to keep enemies away from their chariots. Each place has different weapons that they preferred to use in combat, however, the reasons for this? Culture, their life styles and most of all... Religion. You wouldn't believe how many wars are started because of religious influence or because one group or tribe believes their religion is right and everyone else is wrong and should be changed... By force." She carried on and then she sighed as she looked at the time.
"Well seems we've actually gone overtime on this. Todays class is only thirty minutes long. Next class will be an hour and a half long but there'll be a twenty minute break in the middle. Now then. I hope you actually learned something today. For next lesson? I would like you to write two or three paragraphs on the Egyptians and how they used Ancient naval weapons, War Chariots, the kopesh Sword as Creed mentioned and Tridents as Seraianna mentioned. If you can find any other information about what weapons they used and how they progressed? Feel free to use that to show you have a deeper understanding of the subject at hand!" She smiled and then she sighed. Well. That was that class over. One down and one to go.
[[OOC:- Leaving posts, if you actually wanna do the work? Please feel free just PM me the paragraphs. x'D Two or three paragraphs shouldn't be too hard, you can use wiki or other online sources for it~ ;D]]
