Default Basic Arithmancy Lesson 1

As you step through the Arithmancy classroom doors, you see wooden desks and chairs arranged in a circle. Professor Shackleton has provided a number of cushions in a myriad of colors and textures that are stacked by the door for you to choose from to match your comfort and liking. Two walls are filled with thick wooden shelves, filled with a seemingly endless number of Arithmancy texts and the occasional Ancient Runes and Divination reference. The other two walls of the room are covered in framed pictures and posters of a very old man doing mathematical calculations, a map of the Mediterranean, a witch carrying a large wooden number seven, a chart converting letters to numbers, and many more pictures with a number at the top and people exhibiting various qualities below.

When you look to the front of the room, you see a tall, blonde-haired woman in powder blue knee-length robes sitting behind a desk made of dark angelique wood. On the desk is a small placard reading "Professor Macadrian A. Shackleton - Arithmancy," as well as a small stack of thin, leather-bound booklets, an assortment of papers and quills, several copies of the class textbook, and a small pouch that she keeps very close by her left hand. She smiles welcomingly at you as you enter the classroom and makes a small gesture for you to take a seat in one of the many desks in the circle.

OOC: This lesson is for first, second, and third years ONLY. Any students in fourth year and above who post will be dismissed.

Theo listened, he was on 3 points now. Only one behind the dreaded sister. He would beat her. He kne whe could. He frowned when Mac started talking about numbers and names. He had a horrendously long name. That would take forever and lots of fingers to add up.

Sakura turned the page of her textbook, while writing down the answer that she'd given to the previous question. Looking over at Jack she was tempted to ask if he wanted help after the lesson, however she didn't dare even risk smiling at him at the moment. After all he had told her to leave him alone.

Jake tried hard to write all that down from before, his left hand dragging the ink as he wrote. As Professor Shackleton mentioned chapter 2, he quickly turned the page and read through it. This was all hard to understand, he hoped to pick it up soon.

Slowly walking along the desks of the circle, Professor Shackleton continued, "We are now going to move on to the mechanics of Arithmancy - the calculations. Many people think that Arithmancy is difficult because of the math, but I completely disagree. The complexity of Arithmancy truly lies in the interpretation and application of the information we get from the calculations. The math is just basic addition or subtraction."

Walking back into the center of the circle, Macadrian asked, "How many types of addition do you think there are?" She was curious what the students thought and how many would guess correctly.

Lina glanced over to Sarah, who seemed to be doodling as well. Small and silent she managed to move over next to Sarah and peeked at her image.

Jack saw Sak, he shrugged her way "Help?"

Oh whoopeee! Another two points. Slythies were getting a lot of points today which was awesome. With his quill he decided to write down a few notes of what the professor said. The spiritual energy and all made him feel all kung-fu monk-ish or something. Cam went back to his textbook and went on to Chapter 2 of the book.

He was a bit surprised on hearing that Pythagoras added numbers to the alphabet. That. Was extremely odd. Arithmancy was starting to get veeery confusing for him. It was like a mix of numbers and magic. Well... no duh. But it was all very interesting.

Lina looked up at the next question and raised her brow. What kind of question was that? "There's only one. No matter how you try to add two numbers, if you're coming up with something different, you're doing it wrong."

Natka looked up at her Professor, confused. Types of addition?

"Um... one?" she ventured, lifting her hand.

James had been listening intently and taking notes. This was definitely a difficult subject, but it was still pretty interesting. When the professor asked the question, though, he raised his hand and said, "Well, one, right?"

Cam raised his hand but kept on a confused face. Types of addition?

"Isn't there... only type of addition? Like adding...?"

That made no sense... it had to be a trick question.

"Erm, I agree... only one way..." he tried to explain. "That I know of. Your question didn't really make sense to me, Professor."

Miranda was confused, but raised her hand anyway. "Proffessor? I think there's only one kind of addition, just different types of things and number you can use. But addition is addition, right??"
Maybe she should just go back to taking notes.

Professor Shackleton fought back a snort, as she grinned, quite pleased with the trickery of her question. Turning toward Theo, Professor Shackleton explained, "You are right in that there is more than one method of addition, while your reasoning, though entertaining, is incorrect. Two points for thinking outside the box though."

She explained to the class, "How would you feel if I told you there were, in fact, four ways to add in Arithmancy?"

Four ways? Sakura asked.

Looking over at Jack she noticed his look and motioned for him to come over, she'd help if she could.

"Umm is there four due to the fact that there are letters as well as numbers being used?" She asked, desperately wanting to know the answer.
