How. Could. This. Be. So. Boring.

When Crew was younger, if someone were to come to him and ask "Would you like to attend a school for mages?", he, like any other child, or person, really, would have jumped at the chance. The opportunity to learn spells? Commune with spirits? Maybe even ride a dragon? Sign him the hell up. It would've been a once in a life time chance. Now, if you offered the present day him that chance, he'd tell them to go find so kid with a wand and a wicked scar on their forehead for the school. Because this was so. Damn. Boring. For a class called "Magical Theories and Applications 102", one would think it would be the least bit interesting. Maybe your teacher talks about how magic works, or how to use it. Maybe how some people can basically break reality, without actually doing it? You'd think right? Well, you'd be wrong. Instead, it consisted of an old guy who, he kids you not, looked like Gandalf, rambling about a different topic each day, some pertaining to the class, others not so much. One day he talked about a certain breed of caterpillar for about an hour, then another day he talked about how gravity worked. As one might imagine, this left the class in a constant state of confusion. About a quarter of them tried to take notes, another portion could feel their sanity slipping away piece by piece, a few had either had given up trying to understand and simply sat there, and still others used the class a napping spot.
Crew was in the last group. Since the first day, he'd given up on the class. Partly because of the not-completely-a-lesson plan, and partly because he had a bad habit of staying up late. Or whatever counted as late here, since outside of the Academy, time was all but gone. He been back on Earth, his Earth, the one with electricity, hanging out with a few acquaintances. He couldn't exactly call them friends, since they weren't, but he tolerated their company, sometimes.
Back to the present, he was leaned back in his seat, his head tilted backwards and his arms drooping to his side. He was out cold, as some would say. Clearly he was going to get the most he could from this class, even if that meant a hour or so of rest.
