So, as Professor Tanner had mentioned before, he'd be repeating the surname calculation for both 'Mental' and 'Spiritual' transit cycles.

....which meant that...Yes, Gabe would devote more time to helping her understand this 'Transit' business.

Accepting the offered parchment, he looked it over and nodded toward the calculations bit. Her math and number-letter correlations were right...but the years were slightly off. It wasn't a big deal really...The important information was taken care of. Just to be safe, however...Gabe dipped his quill and went about switching them around.

Text Cut: Her Parchment!


Gabriel Phrixus Banner

P - 7 [ages 1 - 7]
H - 8 [ages 8 - 15]
R - 9 [ages 16 - 24]
I - 9 [ages 25 - 33]
X - 6 [ages 34 - 39]
U - 3 [ages 40 - 42]
S - 1 [age 43]

7 + 8 + 9 + 9 +6 + 3 + 1 = 43

There.

"Good job." Really...Pride colored his voice. "Ready for the Spiritual Transit, now?"

SPOILER!!: His Parchment!

Mental Transit

Coral-Bay Aldrich
A - 1 (age 1)
L - 3 (ages 2 through 4)
D - 4 (ages 5 through 8)
R - 9 (ages 9 through 17)
I - 9 (ages 18 through 26)
C - 3 (ages 27 through 29)
H - 8 (ages 30 through 37)

1 + 3 + 4 + 9 + 9 + 3 + 8 = 37


Spiritual Transit

Coral-Bay Aldrich
A - 1 (age 1)
L - 3 (ages 2 through 4)
D - 4 (ages 5 through 8)
R - 9 (ages 9 through 17)
I - 9 (ages 18 through 26)
C - 3 (ages 27 through 29)
H - 8 (ages 30 through 37)

1 + 3 + 4 + 9 + 9 + 3 + 8 = 37
Oops.

The slightest frown appeared when Gabe corrected her work, but she replaced it with a smile when his gaze fell on her and that tone followed through with his words of encouragement.

Her hair was tucked behind her ear as she piped up, "and that was ... Mental Transit?" she squinted and double checked her notes to be certain, even though he'd be giving her the thumbs up or down in a moment.

She nodded, ready to start the next bit, and turned her gaze away from him after a moment of watching him. hehe. She didn't really want to look away. But THERE WERE ONLY FIVE MINUTES LEFT. EEK.

Trying not to rush too much that everything would go terribly wrong, the girl scribbled down what she thought to be the next correct sequence.

Text Cut: parchment!

2 + 1 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 9 = 27

She looked over at the clock, a frantic expression flashing across her face, and slid the parchment back over to him. "Did I do it this time?"

Did she get it?

She had the best boyfriend superhero teacher in the world, right answer or not.
