From her spot in the middle of the web where Kari had been trying not to garner attention while keeping her eyes locked on the spiders surrounding the edge, she heard the teacher speak once more. from the sounds of it, she was explaining their task.
It sounded simple enough, leather was sturdy, but required killing an animal to procure along with knife skills. Bark was easy to obtain and light, but also brittle. Metal was sturdy, but heavy. Spider silk... nope. Kari couldn't do it, no matter how strong the teacher claimed it was. The idea of confronting a spider for its web was beyond her. Her heart dropped into her stomach when the teacher began assigning spiders to each student with claims that they would be attacking their selected material. As an eight foot spider came crawling up to her, it took everything in the reaper's power not to swat it away. She really wanted to, though.
"Y-y-you... you b-better not t-try a-a-anything!," the ghoul stammered, keeping the spider in her sights and her staff close to her chest. First... something that could withstand an attack. Bark was out, it was far too brittle. Spiderweb was out too. That left leather or metal. Metal appealed most since it could be manipulated with fire. She could to that easily, being a fire mage and all.
Backing towards the pile of steel while keeping the arachnid in front of her, her hand reached back for a sheet of metal. Grasping it tightly, she set to work on molding it into a breastplate. Keeping the spider in her peripheral vision, she heated, bent the metal, and let it cool. repeating the process over and over, she eventually had a breastplate that she felt would pass the test.
Placing the armor on the dummy, she backed away a good ways before giving the go ahead to attack it. The spider was relentless in its attack, slicing through the armor with ease.
"Fantastic... it can cut through metal...," Kari groaned as the need to cry began surfacing once more.

Astra had spent much of the professors discussion sobbing quietly, thankfully quieting her wailing so she wouldn't disturb the rest of the class. She had been distraught before when she found Yuki with those two frog ghouls, and had hoped that he would have come to her and apologized. Been nice to her, taken her out for a romantic dinner, things like that. But nope, he didn't see her once. and was now in a class with a third ghoul. Did he even care about her at all?
She ignored the both of them until Tajana has finished telling them what to do, somehow having listened to it even through her crying. Glancing back at the duo her eyes glowed threatening when it looked like the ghoul was going to speak, and she hid her smirk of satisfaction when she saw her scamper away. Serves her right.
Instead of going over to Yuki however, she choose to approach her new 'partner', and was even happy enough to hop onto it's back. Astra may have been frightened by large fire breathing dragons, but spiders didn't bother her, considering she lived in a forest where there was plenty of them. Just as long as she wasn't trapped in a web with one hanging over her face she was fine.
Slowly the spider descended from the web on a strand of silk, landing on the ground and then heading towards the dummies at Astra's direction.
"If it's okay Mr spider, could I use some of your spiderweb? She asked politely, and when the spider obliged, the fae quickly throwing the freshly spun webbing onto the dummy, then flew back and indicated for it to attack.
"Aww" It didn't appear she had placed it on properly.

"Hmm... maybe... no, that would just make it more brittle...," the reaper pondered, holding the sheet of metal in her hands. How could she meld it into a proper breastplate while still maintaining the solidity? It certainly didn't help her concentration when the spider following her kept looming in the background. Not to mention the other spiders crawling about around her.
As Kari began to put the steel back onto the pile in resignation, a spark of inspiration hit her. What if she overlapped the material? She would have less surface area to work with, but it would double the strength. Setting herself to the task, the determined ghoul began heating the metal so it would fold together to create an additional layer. Some heat here to bond the edges together... a bend there... some more heat to soften the kink in the armor... let it cool.... and done!
The finished product was smaller than she would have like, but it felt solid. It took a bit of effort to fit it onto the dummy, but eventually it fell into place. Backing away once more, Kari gave the signal. The spider flew into action, attacking the armor with as much force as before. Unlike last time, however, there was only a sizable dent left behind. It had survived!
"Yes! it worked!," she cheered. The cheering turned into screaming when the spider attempted to approach her in what she could only assume was its attempt to congratulate her. "Oh, no no no no no, y-you stay over there! I appreciate your help, but not enough to get all touchy feely!"
There was no way she was touching, much less hugging, a spider. Leaving the spider behind, Kari made her way back up the tree to the web. At least it seemed to be more spider-free than before.
