My name is Julius Wells. I am currently standing awkwardly in front of the manor where my pupil lives.

I do not have any context as to what I'm doing here besides a friend of mine offering an unusually nonspecific job opportunity in teaching.

How should I carry myself? The first impression is the most importent.

"I'll look around first."
>"Yessir."

The halls are a pleasant shade of red. The butler doesn't say a word, save for punctuating the end of the first hall with "kitchen". At the end of the second, he made an unpleasant face.

>"This is the young master's room. Avoid it unless he's tired. You see this eye? He impaled it with a broom the last time I opened that door."
"O-oh."
>"Don't worry, you don't have to deal with him, just his sister."

He stops again halfway through the fourth hall.

In the garden, a young by I'm assuming to be the young master is sparring with another man. They both appear to be distracted.

>watch for research
Despite his fierce expression, he's not very fluid. His footwork is stiff, and he looks like he got hit by a truck whenever he blocks. I'm a bit concerned he's going to break a limb if he doesn't loosen up.

His attacks are extremely straight-forward, but they're strong and quick. There seems to be some raw potential there.

His instructor, on the other hand, moves in a very fluid fashion. It's a bit odd to see a swordsman navigate like a path of water. He's dodging all the blows easily, and dancing about in an extremely unpredictable manner.

The power difference is a bit too much to really analyze much.

Not yet.

Let's practice with a sword on our spare time.
Since we identified what was wrong with his stance and fighting style so easily, I must assume we at least have a basic knowledge of swordsmanship.

We are, after all, a tutor.

But we aren't specialized in combat. That doesn't mean we can't practice.

Ask if there's a library room, and take stock of what's available in this, uh, learning space. The boxes need to be inventoried for teaching materials, and then go somewhere else. The beam needs to go. You need a table and a couple of chairs at least. And an easel or chalkboard or something.

Good plan. Clearing first.

There are two benches and a blackboard, so that will be all I need to set up. I need to get rid of the rug by the door, the bag by the second bench, and the boxes in the way of the blackboard.
There's a door behind the boxes as well.

This is barely a challenge.

There should be roughly 20 minutes left once I'm done clearing. I could examine the balcony without a staircase, check the door, rifle through the boxes, or go look for a library.

I won't be able to do written work without desks, so I'll have to be teaching magic first.

Creature: Skull Centipede.
Like to burrow deep underground and live in the damp moist soil, but occasionally will end in basements and dungeons. It's diet mostly consists of corpses, but it is known to eat living things if the opportunity is presented to it. Called Skull Centipede due to the fact that its white skull shaped head is usually the last thing people see. It's one notable weakness would be its soft underbelly, but due to the sharp legs, striking there would be difficult. Defeating one would usually require a small army, but to take one alone would be considered suicide unless you have a way to pierce it's thick carapace. Like most things that dwell in the dark, light tends to ward them off, but if there is nowhere for it to run, it will just charge. Some have tried to ride it since it doesn't appear to have any way of riding things on top of it, but none have been able to reach up there unscathed.
Suggested course of action: Become a legend and be the first to slay one by yourself.
