I have decided that one of the scholars may be due for the executioner’s axe, as his intelligence level does not make him a benefit to the king’s land. He has often, for the past few months, cited the gold coins he paid to take the class as a reason he should automatically receive a passing grade. It has been explained to him that, verily, this is not the case. Today, I didst send out a question in the Blue Fairie Box that asked for a scroll containing a single word to be sent to me. The single word was contained in the scroll that was delivered by this box with the day’s agenda. Forsooth, he could not figure out where to find this word and thought I would gift it to him if he asked. Thus, he didst prove that he had not read the scroll, but did not see his error.
Meanwhile, the head master didst send a scroll to us. In that scroll we didst have to swear, by blood and oath, that we would continue to serve him through the end of the month into the next. If we did not swear by blood and oath our funds would be cut off. I didst send it the scroll with my blood on it, back to them. Whast this not the plan all along? Did we not already have a duty to our scholars to ensure they learned during this time of Plague and isolation.
After sending the scroll, I didst go back to my battle and dragon hunting simulations, for my day with the scholars was done. Although, scrolls have arrived since then.
