Hadley flicked her wand as the following appeared on the board:

XOBWEIXSDZ DXS CQ AOXDWBDXP!

"Write it down in your notes as you work through solving it and let me know when you get it. A hint to get you started is that the D in the puzzle equals C."

Lex began to grumble when the professor started talking about some word that sounded too complicated to be understandable. It should have been illegal to have first years in a class like this. How did anyone expect them to know anything???

She scowled a bit as the woman began talking about some books that she had that could help. At first she thought to argue this but then she remembered that Ancient Runes class where Kurumi told her to look in the textbook and suddenly everything was clear. Okay. So she'd give it a try.

Alexa looked at the jumble of letters on the board then flipped open the book. Quill held just a bit from the parchment she began gnawing on her lip as she tried to figure it out.

SPOILER!!: First Attempt

She looked to the book and began reading for a bit before trying again.

SPOILER!!: Second Attempt

She Squinted her eyes and her brows furrowed in concentration. It actually seemed like she could do it and she wanted to give it a shot. Lex stared a little harder at the letters while mentally trying to switch them out in her head. Slowly the answer hit her.

"Yes!" She blurted, momentarily forgetting where she was. It was just...SHEACTUALLYFOUNDOUTTHEANSWER!!

SPOILER!!: Parchment with answer
