As Calamitos was at something of a stall with his own research, you soon found yourself pulled into helping Dr Black with some medical experiments.
The one the two of you were working on at the moment? Well...
"Are you sure we need a whole live chicken for this?"
"Yes. If we tested on anything smaller the rotting cures would spread to quickly for me to see if the new cure works."
The 'rotting curse' as it was called in laymens terms, was a special type of dark magic that as the name suggests, causes rapid decomposition on living tissue.
Officially it's supposed to never be used ever. In practice generally it was overlooked so long as it wasn't being used in tandem with/for other criminal activities such as murder and the use wasn't blatantly public and showy.
You carefully strapped the test chicken down and quickly jumped back so the good doctor could cast the spell.
"corrumpite carnem malam"
She cast it quickly and without passion.
You watched the chickens leg turn a disgusting shade of black as Dr Black pulled out a syringe and stabbed it into the birds thigh.
It did nothing.
Within minutes before the both of you was a barley held together chicken skeleton.
"Back to the drawing board."
"Hmm."
"Yes?"
She turned to you.
"Have you considered mabey talking to Calamitos about this?"
"I thought I made my thoughts on that abomination quite clear."
Irritation crept into her voice.
"Yes you did, but if there was anybody who could be an expert at dealing with decay, it would be him."
She looked away silently.
"Just food for thought."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Alright everyone! Come on down!"
You called, signaling the team back to group level to listen to you more closely.
"Now, you've all done really well. And I say without hesitation that I'm quite proud of our little team."
This got a light cheer out of the kids.
"Alright simmer down. So anyways, after the break racing season will officially begin, meaning you'll finally be competing in real races against other schools!"
"YES! FINALLY!" Tai called, pumping his fists in the air.
"Yeesh man! I'm excited too but ya don't need to be so loud about it." Lewis admonished, holding his ears in clear mock pain.
"Now, now. Tai can't help being indoor voice challenged." Alexander added in with a small smirk.
Kairi burst out laughing while Lidia tried to hide her giggles behind her hands as the short blond soon found himself trapped in a headlock by his taunted teammate.
"Alright team! Rest up but stay sharp!"
"Yes ma'am!" Was the chorused response.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a good bit layer that day that you found the usual enchanted sky obstacles the team uses for practice back up with a crowd seemingly flying through them.
Of course cursory further look around the area soon found the cause was actually one Lidia Salvi, who seemed to be puppeting what, to your eyes upon a second glance, seemed to be a crows corpes.
You walk up to her. "Hello Lidia, what're you doing?"
She quickly turns around startled. The bird falling from the sky lifeless thanks to her broken concentration.
"A-ah, Headmaster! S-s-sorry for taking the equipment out without permission!"
She replied, her face as red as her hair.
"Relax, your not in trouble, let me guess? Necromancy homework?"
"N-no, extra credit. Mr Calamitos said I was far enough ahead that the main homework would just amount to busy work..."
"Really? That's impressive."
"Not really. His class is mostly basic things and intro for people who don't already know anything..."
"Oh? So you have experience in necromancy?"
She looked away nervously
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ok! You didn't hear this from me, but appearantly Star Beard is actually the Merlin and just changed his name so no modern mages would relize!"
"Dude, that's dumb even for you..."
Nothing to report.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
You decided to expand on your previous maze training with a little end of semester surprise test.
The goal?
For the students it's get to class on time when the whole school's inside is cloaked with layered illusions.
For you it's maintain such am exhaustive spell till the end of the day.
You passed. About half the students didn't.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Choices!
