Dear Princess Twilight,

In the past days, quite a lot has happened. A new session about magic, taking exams got started, having more of Pro. Skull Mustache, but more importantly was the story I want to tell you now.

So the day after Flaming Star and I got kidnapped, I got up late and I don’t think I need to tell you why. I got to school a little late. I literally ran into the classroom, but surprisingly I did not see Cranky Doodle as the teacher. But I did see Pro. Skull Mustache!

“Uh, sorry, I think I’m in the wrong class.” I said.

“I think not,” Professor said. “Mr. Cranky Doodle was not able to attend the class, so he asked me to take his place today.”

“Oh.” I couldn’t think of anything else to say.

He looked at me, and then pointed his finger at me and moved it up and down. “Are you going to stand there for the rest of the class?”

“Uh, no, can I take a seat?”

“I’m afraid I am not aware of your capabilities!” Now he was teaching me grammar.

“May I?”

“Indeed!”

I just took a seat. I knew that the class was almost over, so I didn’t expect to follow things too closely. But what registered with me was how he taught Cranky Doodle’s class, which was Math and Calculus. Unlike Cranky Doodle, he explained the whole topic first, then gave example to us and solved them while explaining, and at the end he wrote some other examples for us to do for ourselves as homework. It was a nice way to teach something, but considering that Prof. Mustache’s subject wasn’t mathematics, he handled it well.

But even with all of that, I still couldn’t learn a thing. Keep in mind I pretty much didn’t get any sleep the night before and I didn’t have anything to eat, so it’s no surprise that I could barely focus on the lesson at all. I think I started nodding off when suddenly I saw Flaming Star and Flash Sentry seated next to each other, arguing with each other, practically nose to nose.

“It is too radical,” Flash said.

“No, it’s not, you got it wrong, dummy.”

“What did you say?”

“What did you hear?”

“Something I didn’t like.”

“So what now, you gonna cry?”

It was then that Flash Sentry stood up and went to fight Flaming Star. This had bad news written all over it.
