Only in a school with an exceptionally talented teacher can magic be made to sound so BOREING Merddyn thought as he sat in Magic Theory, as the instructor droned on about things like The total output of a spell is equal to the amount of power put in the spell per second squared, times the amount of time put into it, to the power of X, divided by the number of targets, and all of this multiplied by Y, where X is the "Spirit" of the caster and Y is based on the environment. The "Spirit" of the caster is how well the caster can manipulate magic, Y is based on the environment, such as a person useing fire magic in a tundra would be weaker than if they used it in a volcano. As such, the equation is written like this: O=Y((P^2*T)^X/E)
Wait a minute, that cant be right. they dont know any such formula for the output of a spell... am i listening right? oh well, its not like it will be on a test
After a couple more minutes of the instructor droneing on, Merddyn heardAlright class, it is now time for the test over everything i just covered
Sonofa! Merddyn thought outloud
Mr. Aladar, please refrain from useing that kind of language in my class.
Awright, this cant be all that bad, right? Lets see, question number one: What event occured on the 14th day of the first month of the year 42 at 13:48? How am i supposed to know that?! Question number two: what is the formula for determineing the output of a spell and what do the variables mean? Dear gods! i cant believe thats actually on the test! since when did they have such a formula?
After about 50 minutes, the instructor said, The highest grade in the class was a 102/95 by Miss Katheryn Emily. the lowest grade in the class was a 2/95, by Mr. Merddyn Aladar, who i noticed was NOT paying attention during class. If you get another grade like this you will be kicked out of the acadamy
For the love of! i cant believe he said that in front of the entire class.
Master Ace had heard that there was a new magister at the academy. Ace wanted to get tknow the new magister, but Ace was annoyed to find out that he would have to do that after the man's class which started shortly. Master Ace asked what the magister was teaching in his class. The messenger winced when he said it was a class on magic theory. It was well known amongst to the few magisters that were around that that was Ace's least favorite subject. Ace had studied it on his own though he preffered to practice old spells and learn new one more. Ace beleived most magic theory was useless and contridictory.
A thought came to Ace's mind. When he came in to a magister's class, he ussually gave his name and title, perhaps he would get different results if he gave neither. There was ofcourse only one way of finding out. Once in a private area, Master Ace changed his form into that of a human girl. Now all he needed was a name. Katheryn Emily came to mind. A student who quit the academy a long time ago, but Ace was sure the magister would know nothing of this. Ace quickly made his made to class where he gave out his false name and took a seat near the front.
Ace tryied to keep a smile on his face, but it was quickly wiped away when the man's monotone voice began to lecture. Master ace was about to fall alseep, but certain words came to Ace's mind from the lecture. Ace was sure that the last statement the man made was as false as the name Ace had given him. Master Ace was about to blow his own cover, but he rembered it might be better to just consult him after the class was over. Anger at the errors the man made kept Ace from falling alseep or zoning out as was ussual with babbling magisters. The test the magister gave was an easy one, though Ace was sure the moron didn't cover over half of it.
Ace had taken his last straw when the magister picked on poor Merddyn. Ace disliked the idea of stooping to the man's Level, but Ace simply could not contain himself any more. Ace quickly returned to his form to the surprise of some of the students. A few even knew who he was. "Mr. Petanalus Venger, I am must say that you are error to treat a student in that fashion. That was very heartless of you, but the lad wasn't paying attention so I shall put that aside for now. Your test must have been the worst I have seen in this acadamey to date, and shall likely stay as such for a long time. I am asssured you did not even cover half the test in your lecture. More so, I am very curious as to what sources you are collecting your babble from. You have contridict yourself once or twice. Lastly you class is rated very low on the academy's list. I am sure Merddyn has nothing to worry about after your own pitiful display. I think I have covered enough for now, but we will continue this conversation in the magister's lounge," Master Ace said bitterly. The instructor seem ed to be able to do nothing save stand with his jaw dropped. A few of the students pointed and laughed at Mr. Venger and some cheered glad to see the teacher put in his place.
