A young woman runs into the Mainhall of the Student dorms. She stops, with a look of panic in her eyes. Her eyes move across the room. Her face becomes a bit red. Her panic expressions clam down, as another girl aproached and hugged her. The two exchanged a few words, before the other girl grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her softly back. She shook her head and walked away.

You wonder, what they were talking about. Face clamped down a bit, but you could still see the panic in her eyes. Something about her got your interest and you kept following her around, she went from one girl that was sitting alone to the next. Each giving her the same reaction.

Her panic turned into a pure sad expression, as she talked with the last girl in the room. She wipped a tear away, as your eyes locked. So, she took of running, but the only way for her out, was the door next to you. So you reach out and grab her shoulder. Stopping her in her tracks.

She looked at you. "Can i help you with any thing?" she said and tried to step back. You let go of her and ask her what happened. Her eyes went to the ground. "So, you really saw that. guess, i cant lie now." she said and stepped from one foot to the other. "I missed my last class in Property Magic. And now i need to Perfom some kind of spell, that could be classified as old school stage magic. What ever that means. The Teacher said, that they went over it, during the class i missed and everyone else got a partner. Which is why i am on my own. I know, thats not the worst thing. but -"

You step forward and grab her shoulders again. You remember that teachers name. Seeing the bookback, in the girls bag, let you count 1 and 1 together. You open the book and point a certain spell. The girl looked at it, it was 5 pages behind the material she learned in class.

A smile formed on the girls face as she read the Spells function. "Did you have that class before?" she asked. You deny it, because it was open secret between the older Students, that the Teacher in question always used that spell, to teach new students a lesson.

"In that Case, can you help me? i want to practice something." Looking at your schedule, you see, that the next three hours, were free to play games. considering the odds of the girl needing support. You go along with her.

On the way, to her dormroom, do you two pick up cardboard boxes up, that a about 70% of the girls size. See quickly cuts five holes in one. Two on one side and three on the other. "Can check, if i tempered with the box, except those holes?" she asked. As you check the box, do you notice her unscrewing a paper cutter, that stood on her desk.

She returned with its blade and handed it to you. Before you can say something did she jump into the box and pushed her head, hand and feet through the holes. Noticing, that she has nothing tape the box, did she demand to be turned on her stomach.

Leading to her face landing the magic book, she lifted her head and read the spell for herself a few times. "Can you esitimate where my hipes are?" she asked, you nod. she gathers her breath. "So, if i understand it corretly and get what stage magic, sawing me in half with that cutter, should count as classic, right?" she asked and you agreed with her.

She closed her eyes. "Then lets do it, but do me the favor to stop when i say it. I rather fail and retry later, that making sure that there is no next time." she whispered. Following her instructions, do you start to saw through the cardboard. Making sure to take your time.

A gasp escaped the girls lips, as the blade scratched her back. you stopped, but no stop followed, so you keep going. Feeling how she tries to fight her urge to move away from the blade. once you are through her spine, it becomes to easy. the Blade near instantly hit the floor of the box.

You notice, that she finally breathed out, after keeping her breath in for to long. "Did i do it right?" she asked, looking rather pale. in shock, do you push the two halves apart. showing the mess that happened inside the box. Her eyes lost colour, as she expected an answer from you. But you froze, her eyes closed and her face dropped to the floor. The mess inside the box, made the cardboard wet and weak.

Not knowing what to do, you take a blanket from her bed and throw it over the liveless body. A slight giggle came from under it. You pulled it away and looked at a smiling face, while more of the mess came out of the box. The legs in the other half, started to kick up in excitment. "Did i get you?" she asked. You walk over to her severed legs and pull them along to her face.

You point at the cross section at her hips and the mess coming out. she looks at it and then back at you. "oh, thats not good." You start to laugh as she touched the green fluid coming out of her lower half. "I would have gotten you, if i didnt mess up the color, right?" she asked.

you tickle her feet, till you stop laughing about it and agree with her. Once you are done, you push her two halves and most of the mess back together. She reversed her spell, leaving only a red marking, where the blade cut through her skin.

After that, you spent the rest of your free time, turning her fake green blood into the right shade of red. You give her a hug and wish her good luck, with her teacher.
