I thought it over for a moment. I;d be late in charges of two or three hours. I’d hate the punishment for being two or three hours late…

But on the other hand, I could learn the art of magery even earlier than the minimum graduation age of 17.

The blue flames sunk into my skin again. “Good night, Master Sephith!” I shouted as he walked back to his own quarters. “Same to you!” he shouted back, and I walked into my cottage. After a small meal comprised of potatoes, I went to sleep, awaiting a new day.
