Ivar sat in the classroom, his focus entirely on the words of the professor at the front of the room. The day was not unlike any other, but this particular class was different. Today, they were set to start learning about the hitch which was a skill known for its mystique and trickery.
The professor, an older man with a balding head and thick glasses, talked excitedly about hitch. He explained that it was a tricky skill, one that allowed an individual to manipulate the spatial pathways between themselves and an object. With the correct mental command, a magician could make an object vanish from one spot and appear in another.
The professor made it seem fascinating. He discussed the quick mental calculations and adjustments that a successful hitch required. He emphasized that because of the speed at which the spatial pathways needed to align, the technique was highly limited in its applicability. But, he assured them, a wellexecuted hitch was nothing short of astounding.
Ivar's mind swirled with thoughts. He'd always been captivated by the various magical abilities he'd learned at the academy, but hitch seemed especially intriguing. It wasn't just about moving objects it was about manipulating space, essentially pulling off an astonishing magic trick.
He imagined himself, standing on a battlefield, a sword disappearing from an opponent’s hand only to reappear in his own. He'd always had a bit of a dramatic flair, and the image appealed to him greatly. Plus, it sounded like a solid strategic move in a fight, which could be handy considering his line of work.
His thoughts were interrupted when the professor called his name, asking him a question about the theoretical basis of the hitch ability. He quickly responded, earning a nod of approval from the professor. He couldn’t help but feel a small thrill at that.
Classmates around him were chatting excitedly, eager to learn and practice this new ability. The energy in the room was contagious, and Ivar found himself caught up in it, his mind buzzing with excitement and anticipation. This was a new challenge, a new skill to master, and he was eager to tackle it.
Despite the professor's words of caution about the difficulty of the hitch ability, Ivar was determined. This was what he was here for to learn, to grow, to become a better magician. And so, with a spark of determination in his eyes, he listened intently to every word the professor spoke, committed to mastering this new ability.
Little did he know, the hitch ability would prove to be a more interesting and challenging journey than he'd ever anticipated. But he was ready, ready to take on this new challenge, to prove himself, and maybe even to impress a few people along the way. The class was just getting started, and Ivar was ready to hitch a ride on this exciting new adventure.
As the lesson continued, the professor moved on from theory to practice. He presented a series of small objects, inviting each student to attempt a hitch. Excitement bubbled in the room, anticipation tangible in the air. Now, it was time to put words into action. The professor’s words echoed in Ivar's mind as he approached the front of the room.
With a small stone in front of him, he concentrated on the task at hand. The aim was to manipulate the space around the stone, causing it to disappear from its current location and appear in his hand. He knew it wasn't going to be easy. But he was willing to give it his best shot.
His first few attempts were unsuccessful. The stone remained stubbornly in place. Undeterred, Ivar took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing thoughts. He remembered what the professor had said about the need for focus and precision.
He recalled the professor’s words about visualizing the spatial pathways, the connections between objects. He forced himself to see, in his mind’s eye, the invisible link between himself and the stone, the path it would travel through space to reach him.
It was tricky, of course. His mind was full of doubt, the thought of failure looming over him. But there was also the exhilarating thrill of trying something new, of pushing his boundaries. He couldn’t deny that there was a part of him that enjoyed this.
Every now and then, he’d glance at his classmates. They were struggling too, their expressions a mixture of determination and frustration. It was oddly comforting to know that he wasn’t the only one finding this difficult.
Gradually, he started noticing changes. The stone seemed to shimmer slightly before returning to its normal state. It was a small, almost imperceptible change, but it was a start. Ivar felt a surge of excitement. It was working. He was starting to get the hang of this.
By the end of the class, Ivar had only managed to hitch the stone a few inches off the table. But it was a significant achievement. He'd made progress. He had started to understand the complexity of the hitch ability, to appreciate the combination of focus, visualization, and spatial understanding it required.
This was just the beginning. There was still so much more to learn, so much more to practice. But Ivar was ready for it. Ready to take on the challenge, ready to push himself, ready to master the hitch ability. After all, he was here to become the best magician he could be, and he wasn't going to let a little challenge like this stand in his way.
Class ended with applause echoing in the halls as some students successfully hitched their objects across the room. It was a joyous moment, a testament to their effort and patience. Ivar clapped along, cheering on his peers while he was still high from his small but notable success.
After the class, Ivar chatted with some classmates. They shared their experiences with the hitch ability, discussing their struggles, successes, and everything in between. It was a comfortable camaraderie, born out of shared challenges and common goals.
There was this guy who was quite the joker. He kept everyone laughing with his attempts to hitch an apple straight into his mouth. He hadn’t succeeded yet, but that didn’t keep him from trying. It was that kind of spirit that kept the atmosphere light, that turned this grueling process into something fun.
Then there was a girl who was quiet and focused, who had managed to hitch a small feather across the room. Ivar admired her. He admired her patience, her calm demeanor. It was as if she had a natural affinity for this ability.
Listening to them, Ivar realized that they were all in this together. They were all striving to understand this ability, to control it, to master it. Each one was taking a different approach, learning at their own pace. It was a unique journey for each of them.
Despite the competitive nature of their field, there was a sense of unity. They were all magicians in training, all working towards the same goal. That common purpose created a bond, a sense of belonging that Ivar hadn’t expected but was grateful for.
As the day ended, Ivar found himself alone in his room, reflecting on everything that had happened. It had been an intense day, a day filled with learning, struggle, and small victories. But it was also a day that had brought him closer to his classmates, that had given him a sense of community.
The hitch ability was complex, more than he had imagined. But he was willing to learn, to practice, to improve. The road ahead was going to be difficult, but Ivar was ready to take it on. After all, the road to mastering any magic was never easy. But that’s what made it worth it, right? The challenge, the struggle, the eventual triumph. That’s what being a magician was all about.
And as he lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling, a small but determined smile graced his lips. He was eager for what tomorrow would bring, eager to continue his journey. This was just the beginning.
After the excitement of the day, Ivar figured he needed more practice. Just because he managed to hitch a tiny object didn't mean he'd mastered the ability. Far from it. This stuff was complex, like trying to solve a math problem while juggling flaming torches. But that's what made it interesting, right?
He chose a spot in the common area, away from the chatty bunch. He didn’t want to be distracted. He set his sights on a small rock, barely larger than a marble. He stared at it, focusing, trying to align the spatial pathways in his mind, to visualize the rock appearing at a different spot.
It was all about visualization the professor had said. You had to see it in your mind before you could make it happen in reality. But man, it was easier said than done. It was like trying to imagine a new color. How do you do that?
But Ivar was nothing if not persistent. He kept trying, kept focusing. His eyes never left the rock. He could almost feel his mind stretching, reaching, trying to grasp the concept, to understand it, to control it.
Minutes passed. His forehead was scrunched up in concentration, his eyes were burning, but he didn’t care. He was so close, he could feel it. It was right there, just out of reach. He just had to push a little further.
And then, it happened. The rock blinked out of existence and reappeared a few feet away. It was such a small, inconspicuous event, but for Ivar, it was a victory. His heart pounded in his chest, his eyes wide with shock and elation.
“Yeah!”
He was grinning from ear to ear. He did it! He actually did it! He hitched an object across a room. Okay, it was a small room and an even smaller object, but hey, baby steps, right?
The joy of that small success was infectious. He was grinning like an idiot, his heart doing a victory dance in his chest. This was why he was here, why he was learning magic. For moments like this, moments of triumph, of discovery, of pure joy. This was what it meant to be a magician.
Classes finally ended for the day, and Ivar was left to his own devices. His mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, still buzzing from his little success. He’d hitched an object! A small object, sure, but it was a start. He couldn’t help but replay that moment in his mind, grinning like a goof.
He had thought about sticking around and practicing more, but he was exhausted. Mental fatigue was a thing, and boy, was he feeling it. All the focusing and visualizing had taken its toll. So, he decided to call it a day.
As he made his way back to his room, he couldn't help but think about the day’s lessons. About hitching and spatial pathways and teleportation. It was mindboggling stuff, stuff that sounded like it came straight out of a story. But it was real, and he was learning it. Him, Ivar, an average guy. It was kind of crazy when he thought about it.
Once back in his room, he flopped onto his bed, staring at the ceiling. His mind was still racing, still buzzing with excitement and ideas and possibilities. He was learning to manipulate space, to move things with his mind. It was insane! It was amazing! It was… magic.
And even though he was exhausted, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement. This was just the beginning. He was only scratching the surface of what he could do, of what magic could do. There was so much more to learn, so much more to discover.
As he drifted off to sleep, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation for the next day, for the next lesson, for the next discovery. This was his journey, his adventure. He was a student of magic, a Traverser. And he wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
After all, who knew what tomorrow might bring?
