"The entrance to the academy was surprisingly busy today, so I was slowed down trying to avoid stepping on all the extra little people. Anyway, take your seat," Litnagdor said.
"Y-yes professor!" Melona took a sigh of relief. Turns out her teacher was just as late as her. As she sat down, Litnagdor would continue her lecture.
"As I was saying, now that we've completed air and water magic, my personal favorites, we'll now cover the third element: Earth. Any questions?"
A student raised her hand. "Yeah, why are we learning EARTH magic from a STORM giant?" she said rudely. "I thought you guys could only do air and water magic." The student's friends laughed at her insulting remark.
Litnagdor inhaled calmly and started rubbing two of her fingers together. "You thought wrong. Storm giants are natural at air and water, meaning we know it from birth. Other elements though..." Some flames started forming in Litnagdor's fingers. "We can still learn just fine."

Through context clues throughout the semester, Melona learned that 'crii-baabii' roughly meant 'weakling' in giant language.

It didn't help that her culture was one based on strength and toughing things out on your own. Sure there were some human societies that emphasized that too, but giants could take it to the extreme.
