The next, and final, girl to be called up was a girl of above average appearance and standard height, and her hair was tied back into a long, singular, braid of a deep reddish-brown hue.
As she came forward, instead of speaking to Elspeth, she instead addressed the class as a whole, much to the shock of everyone. “I figured I’d cap off the lesson with something fun. And big. And something I’ve been practicing. I’m thinking of trying a..... physical space reassignment incantation.”
These four words strewn together had little if any effect on James, whereas the rest of the class seemed highly interested, albeit cautious. “Miss Dawson, are you positive you are able to..... handle something of that caliber?”
The girl nodded. “I know I’m new here, but isn’t the school’s motto “confidence given upon any student”?”, the girl smiled. Elspeth opened her mouth, but merely smiled.
“I suppose it wouldn’t hurt, so long as you have me failsafe it with a precautious limiter spell. I’m all for my students pushing themselves to new heights, but risks are to be taken into account!”
Claire nodded, and turned to the class. “So, what would you like me to transform the class into, everyone?”
Multiple voices cried out at once. “Someplace quiet”, “someplace fun”, “somewhere relaxing”, “somewhere warm”, and “someplace nice” were among the most requested pleas, along with a few more specific ones such as “a zoo” from Chloe or “a grassy field” from Molly.
Claire seemed slightly overwhelmed by the multiple different requests, and turned to Elspeth. The old witch chuckled, and looked over at the naked, soot-covered James.
“Well, James, seeing as you have been our guest of honor and a VERY good sport, what do you think Claire here should transform the class into?”
