Hey guys! Has anyone tried the waffles at the waffle place by that mailbox we're being told to pick things up at now? The chocolate chip pecan waffle is FANTASTIC if you haven't! 10/10, will have again!

Oh, and speaking of the mailbox, what's with the weird hints that they're giving on the packages you pick up there? How's a fancy walking stick supposed to 'ease your pain' anyway? The waffles do just as good a job after a long day with the books!

Probably is. The note did say that a little magic would ease your pain...

But that REALLY makes no sense. From what I can tell, Other Felicia was good enough at fighting that she trained with a knight, but she didn't want to work with a ninja...
Why would someone who catches the eye of knights and ninjas use magic?

Magic knights, maybe? Other Felicia, just as skilled with a sword as with a staff... That's pretty impressive.

Knives. Other Felicia didn't wear armor, either--
so that's extra confusing.

Still, it's also cool. I wonder how I'm supposed to make it work?

I'm going to guess you probably don't heal people by hitting them with it.

Then how do I do the magic if it's not hitting them with it?

Wave it around and say 'abracadabra'?

Are you sure something so cliche will work?

I'm not sure at all, but it couldn't hurt to try.

So you're saying I should just wave it around shouting nonsense words?

That's what I'm saying. Even if it doesn't work, it'd still be fun?

It'd be more fun with someone else. Do you wanna help me?

Normally I would, but haven't you only got one wand to wave?

I do, but maybe we can try taking turns with it?

I'm up for that whenever you've got time.

Well, there's no big tests for another week or so,
so there's plenty of time now.

Shouldn't you be studying if it's in a week?

I should, but sometimes a person needs a break...

I'm not going to be an accessory to your bad study habits.

Okay, I'll be good....

I do the same thing sometimes and I always regret it. Not the exact same thing with the magic wand, but you know what I mean.

Okay, sir. I'll do my homework first, like a good student would.

You can celebrate passing your test with magic spells, at least?

Yeah, that's actually a good way to look at it.

There you go. It's motivation to do well.

That's right, thank you!

I'll do my best!
