The Art of Organised Cheating Part 1

Previous ChapterNext Chapter“Damn.” You mutter to yourself. “I guess I have no choice.”
You brew yourself some coffee and think about the good side of these assessments.
On one hoof, you’ve got the grueling hours, the hard ground, the overly crowded streets, the difficult tests, the anxiety, the risks, the terrible food (thus resulting in the hunger), the loneliness amongst the masses, the time away from home, and the time off of your vacation.
On the other hoof…
*TING!*
Your coffee maker has completed its task. The fresh smell of coffee has broken your train of thought. You walk up to the machine and levitate the kettle over a cup and pour yourself some wake-up drink. That’s when it hits you.
Travel plans.
Getting to Canterlot seems easy. One minute you’re here, the next you’re there. Usually you take the train, but ticket prices are ridiculously high during this time of year. You can surely afford yourself a ticket, but it’s just so expensive, you’ll be skipping meals.
There’s always your balloon. You haven’t checked the burners in a while, but you definitely have enough fuel to travel to Canterlot. This method is free of charge, so it seems like a better option.
One thing that’s definitely out of the question is teleportation, due to the fact that your accuracy seems to diminish the farther you travel. Teleporting across town is no problem, and you usually end up in a meter’s proximity of where you want to be. However, traveling all the way to Canterlot, you may just teleport yourself off a cliff, or into somepony’s hotel room, or into a heater-
“AHHH!” You scream in pain. You step back and notice that you’ve been pouring hot coffee onto yourself. You sigh and clean up the mess.
After an hour, you buckle down and think about travel arrangements.
