I don't remember sweating this much whenever I prac- ticed my magic back at school. Now, the sweat is just pouring down my face and I'm constantly wiping it away. Miss Beat- rice stayed overnight wanting to get a practice in before me and my mates take on the tedious task of taking out a whole species, well, their magic anyway.

"Let's just agree to disagree." I chuckle.

"Finally! We at least agree on something."

"You can, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to answer." She grins.
