Kyria pushed the heavy book away with a loud sigh. Lilla, her roommate, looked up from her own scribblings and frowned slightly.

"It's no use," Kyria said, rising from behind her desk and stretching her cramped legs. "There's no way I'll pass the test."

"You don't try very hard," said Lilla acidly and returned to her own work, long blonde hair curtaining her face from Kyria's view.

Kyria said nothing. There was too much truth in what Lilla had said. Unlike Lilla, Kyria hated math. Last year, she had barely made it through first-year Calculus. This Vector Calculus was impossible. It made no sense at all.

"You'll be expelled if you don't pass." Lilla's voice emerged from under the mop of hair. Kyria glared, but Lilla took no notice.

"There has to be a better way to cast spells than calculating the flux of energy fields." Kyria continued. "Think about it, Lilla. Think about all the ancient wizards. Calculus wasn't even invented until the twentieth century."

Lilla rolled her eyes. "The seventeenth."

Kyria shrugged. "Who cares? Merlin, Morgana, Dayfed of Oran--any of them have Calculus tests? There must be another way. Why doesn't one of our time-traveling faculty members find out how they did it and teach that instead of these wretched theorems."
