School of Wizardry-Part 3 (Apprentice)


APPRENTICE

Prologue
You know what they say - practice makes perfect. Let's see if you can hone some of those magic skills!

Chp1: Learn to ride a flying broom
Uncle Mortimer has promised that tomorrow he'll start to give you flying lessons on his broom. In the non-human world, an enchanted broom with an invisibility charm is pretty much the fastest way to get around!

Chp2: Back to non-wizard school...
You've never been so happy to be back at school. Math is no fun, but at least it's better than being chased by goblins and getting lost in the Mystical Forest.

Chp3: Practice magic - practice makes perfect!
You can safely levitate objects, but its time to conjure some fire! Uncle Mortimer reminds you that wizards all possess different levels of magical ability and all mature at different ages. Can you do it?

Chp4: Read more History of Magic - Portsville
Turns out that Portsville is the gateway between the wizard world and the human world. For centuries the Elder Wizards have guarded this gateway.

Chp5: Practice flying on Uncle Mortimer's broom
You're a little unsteady at first, but after a few passes in the sky on your broom, its almost second nature. It's a clear day so you decide to take a swooping pass over the Mystical Forest. To your amazement you can see unicorns in a clearing near the Wizard Gateway.

Chp6: Do homework Uncle Mortimer assigns you about magical creatures
After you tell Uncle Mortimer about the unicorns, he assigns you some reading on magical creatures. Near gateways between worlds, sometimes creatures accidentally cross over. These unicorns have wandered over. Likewise, there have been stories in the wizard world about these mystical human creatures called squirrels that have been spotted from time to time.

Chp7: Learn to duel
Uncle Mortimer shows you the basic spells and wand techniques that you need to defend yourself in the event that you're attacked by another wizard. You try to stun your Uncle, but for an old man, he's faster than he looks! Somehow you end up dangling upside down numerous times.

Chp8: Go to the secret magic shop in the middle of town on the way home
In the corner of the town square is an old small shoe repair shop. You and Uncle Mortimer walk in and continue to the back of the shop. To your amazement the small looking shop is actually quite large. A spell has been put on the shop to appear tiny from the outside!

Chp9: Buy wizard robes and head home after a long day out
According to Uncle Mortimer, a wizard always needs a nice set of wizard robes. On top of looking quite snazzy, the robes, depending on the material, provide a layer of protection against most basic charms. Most offer invisibility from non-wizards at night. Now that you have a robe, maybe you'll get your own broom for Christmas.

A Wish Come True (A Short Story)

I woke up with a start when I found myself in a very unfamiliar place. The bed I was lying on was grand—an English-quilting blanket and 2 soft pillows with flowery laces. The whole place was fit for a king! Suddenly the door opened and there stood my dream prince: Katsuya Kimura! I gasped in astonishment for he was actually a cartoon character. I did not know that he really exist. “Wake up, dear,” he said and pulled off the blanket and handed it to a woman who looked like the maid. “You will be late for work.” “Work?” I asked. “Yes! Work! Have you forgotten your own comic workhouse, baby dear?” Comic workhouse?! I…I have became a cartoonist? That was my wildest dreams! Being a cartoonist! I undressed and changed into my beige T-shirt and black trousers at once and hurriedly finished my breakfast. Katsuya drove me to the workhouse. My, my, was it big! I’ve never seen a bigger place than this! Katsuya kissed me and said, “See you at four, OK, baby?” I blushed scarlet. I always wan...

To A Beautiful Person

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring. He sends you a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, he listens. He can live anywhere in the universe, but he chose... your heart. Face it friend, He is crazy about you! God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

Choking on Ink

My grandmother told me when she was in high school an old math teacher in his 60’s named Harold Davidson was teaching math and one of his students wouldn’t stop tapping his pen during class.  The teacher went berserk and lost his mind. He snatched the pen and attacked the kid, lodging the pen down the child’s throat while his classmates looked on screaming. While struggling, the kid kicked the teacher in the chest with the little energy he had left. The teacher collapsed and they both died at the same time. When school was back in session and math class began with the new teacher, the class noticed that a weird symbol appeared on the chalk board. The symbol had lines inside of a circle. All the lines within the circle were the common math symbols = + x and division.  If you outline certain parts of the symbol it looks as if a pacman shape has a line going through its mouth or maybe a head getting choked with a pen. The teacher asked who drew it but no one came f...
