Mr. Squall looked at the child who was sleeping and made a mental note of him, another child not worth his time to teach, at least he wasn't disturbing the class.
Squall than moved his hand across the board, and five symbols appeared. Two where side by-side near the top of the board, the one to the left looked like two interloping circles with a line through them, the other was three connected "X" shapes with a line through them. Below those two symbols where two others, the left being an arrow pointed to a small line, and the right was upward pointing arrow with two lines drawn on both sides of the arrow and connecting to it. The final one was below the other four, and appeared to be a very complex scribble and it was hard to figure out quite what it was.
He then addressed the class, "Does anyone recognize these symbols?" he said, knowing most would not have a clue about them since it was a rather rare type of magic that not many people used. However, he liked to start with this type of magic to scale up his students.
