It had been some time since Simon’s last Summoning class with Professor Aaron. Today’s topic was Restoration—specifically, dismantling the Island Ratman Skeletons they had previously constructed and reassembling them. “A skeleton’s greatest strength is its ability to be restored,” Aaron declared. He had shown up for work in his usual shabby shorts, his hair a disheveled mess. He raised a single finger. Fwoosh! Whoosh! Bones scattered across the classroom floor shot into the air at incredible speed. The skeleton, assembled in mid-air in mere seconds, landed gracefully and offered a stylish bow, drawing a wave of cheers and applause from the students.
