Cassia was speechless. Her letter was correct. Like she didn't make any mistake. Really? Was he sure? It was possible that old men overlooked or didn't notice things. Totally normal. Though, come to think of it, The Professor spent his LONG life doing this so he probably read in runes like he read in English. Maybe even better. Oh, well. Maybe she'd just accept the fact that her letter was correct.

The snake sat slid back into her seat and waited for others to finish. Then she watched as the captain scribbled his letter on the board. Though it wasn't right to call both hers and his a letter. Hers was like a signature. She still was proud of it.

Staring up at the runes, Cassia reached for her text book and started comparing them against the ones on the board. She was going to try and decipher one word and preferably the shortest one. It took her a while but she came up with something.

Raising her hand, she spoke, "Last word in the first line is team?" She half-answered, half-asked. Was that correct. "First rune is Tiewaz which presents the letter 'T'. Second rune is Ehwaz, the letter 'E'. Third one is Ansuz as in the letter 'A'," She took a breath squinting at the board then continued, "Last one is Mannaz, which's the letter 'M'," According to her analysis.

Was she right? Don't laugh if she wasn't, she'd get mean.
