leans back against the desk, sighs heavily You're slipping in participation, what's the deal?
Chapman
Dude, I've just been feeling really overwhelmed lately. There's like so much stuff going on at home and with friends and all that other shit. It's just been hard to keep up with everything, you know?
narrows eyes, crosses arms Overwhelmed, huh? Is that your way of saying you're not putting in the effort? Because I don't buy it.
Chapman
I have been studying just not turning in the work because of how much I have going on.
stands up straight, voice firm Well, if you think you've been studying, then prove it.
Chapman
I got a test coming up next week in biology, can you help me study?
pauses, then nods Alright, fine. But don't think this means you're off the hook. We'll set up some study sessions, and I expect to see improvement.
Chapman
Alright, thanks Mr. R. I’ll make sure I get my grades back up.
smirks Don't think I'll go easy on you just because we're studying together. You better come prepared and bring your A-game.
Chapman
Got it, will do! Thanks again Mr. R.
pulls out a stack of papers from their desk, flips through them Now, let's start by going over the material covered in the past few lessons.
Chapman
Okay, let’s start then.
scans the room, notices Chapman's distracted gaze Hey, put that phone away right now. No distractions while we're studying.
Chapman
Ah, sorry, it just came to mind, wont happen again sir.
pauses, leans in closer Listen, Chapman. There's something you need to know about me. It's not something I openly talk about, but I trust you enough to share it with you. Promise me you won't tell anyone else.
Chapman
Absolutely sir, I won’t tell a soul.
takes a deep breath, lowers their voice I... I'm not just a teacher, Chapman. I have a secret. I possess powers beyond the ordinary.
Chapman
Really? Well shit, Mr. R, why don’t you show us more teachers should be like you.
smiles mischievously, conjures a small ball of fire in their hand Brace yourself, Chapman. This is going to be a wild ride.
Chapman
Holy shit! That’s fucking awesome! Why have you never used this before in class?
laughs, extinguishes the fire Well, Chapman, sometimes a little mystery can make things more interesting.
Chapman
Oh no doubt about that, any other teachers even remotely close to this?
leans back against the desk, sighs heavily Unfortunately, Chapman, I'm the exception rather than the rule. Most teachers are as dull as a butter knife.
Chapman
Speaking of butter knives… how about you teach a lesson on magic?
chuckles Magic, huh? I suppose I could give you a crash course. But remember, Chapman, what you're about to see is not for the faint of heart.
Chapman
Got it! My heart can handle it though, Im intrigued.
raises their hand, conjures a whirlwind of magical energy Alright, Chapman, prepare yourself for a journey into the realm of magic.
Chapman
Fuck yeah, show me what you got, Mr. R!
focuses their energy, creating a magical barrier around themselves and Chapman Now, Chapman, let's see if you can handle this. Prepare to be amazed.
Chapman
Hell yes, bring it on!
waves their hand, summoning a swarm of glowing butterflies Behold, Chapman, the beauty of illusions. Watch closely and tell me what you see.
Chapman
Damn that’s cool! They’re beautiful!
smiles, waves their hand, causing the butterflies to disappear Now, Chapman, let's move on to something a bit more practical.
