Professor Peryton- Welcome to class. Where did we leave off?
Marcus- You were telling us about how Daniel needs to learn how to listen or he’ll be eaten by a Trap Ghoul.
Professor- That wasn’t what I meant. Where is Daniel?
Lucy- He was eaten by a Trap Ghoul while asking the rest of us why were being quiet in the forest.
Professor- That’s the fifth child this school year. The king really should put up a sign or hire some paladins. Now, what lesson were we on?
Joseph- You were teaching us how to enchant a sword with fire magic.
Henry- Then Penelope tried it on her quill pen.
Professor- Ah yes, the burn marks are still on the ceiling. I hear they finally put her out at midnight and she’ll be given new skin over the weekend. Let that be a lesson to all of you. Until you master a spell, you cannot do a variation.
Melody- I brought you cookies, Professor!
Yancy- Somebody forgot her homework again.
*Melody casts a spell and transforms Yancy into a cookie*
Professor- Change him back.
Melody- I don’t know that spell. Want a cookie?
Professor- Maybe later. Open up your books to the History of Parrying. This will teach you how important blocking is.
Grunter- Why block when have armor?
Marcus- Because armor has holes and it can get dented. Armor doesn’t solve everything, orc.
Lucy- What about being too fast to get hit? I have Cheetah Boots at home.
Professor- Those are useful, but it doesn’t hurt to learn the basics. After all, knowing how to parry can lead to knowing how to stop your own attacks from being blocked.
Henry- That’s why I’m going to be an archer. *throws a ball of paper at pail and misses by several feet* I’ll be better when my family can afford to get my eyes uncrossed.
Joseph- Can I sleep until you get to our magic lessons? I have a healer’s note that says I’m allergic to swords.
Professor- Yesterday it was a note about how you had a deep terror of battle axes. Why are you in this academy?
Joseph- Because I want to be a wizard and they don’t need swords.
Professor- Fair enough. Now . . . are we missing ten other students?
Melody- Want a cookie, Professor?
