Study for class

Even though you don’t have any impending assignments, you do find yourself thinking that maybe doing some studying would be a good idea. It’s not like you’re afraid you might fail your classes, but there is one in particular that you’ve been having some issues really understanding.

Heading over to your laptop, you bring up this week’s chapter on “Magic, Witchcraft, and Religion”. It’s in your field, and it sounded fun, but the teacher is actually really serious about understanding this kind of stuff.

That wouldn’t be an issue, except you’re more than a little skeptical of a lot of this stuff. Astrology, Psychics, crystals, it’s all nonsense in your book. Still, this chapter is specifically on Witchcraft, so you decide to give it a read through one more time.

It’s weirdly dense, going into exact types of beliefs in witchcraft over time, stuff like True Names and summoning circles. It takes you an hour to read through it again, and when you’re done you still don’t really feel like you understood any of it. Still, you did study, so you click on that Task on the app, and a pop-up window shows the effects.

Confidence 0->1

Magic 0->1

Humanity 34->30

Intelligence 32->36

You’re still not really getting the stat choices, but decide not to focus on that. Instead, you find yourself thinking back on the material...and it’s making sense! Your skepticism quietly fades away, letting you focus on what the teacher is actually trying to show you.

Opening up the file on the chapter again, you flip through it and feel like now you understand all of it! You should easily be able to bump up your grade in that class now! You can’t deny that this app is clearly damn good at its job. What you don’t notice is the small ways your mind is starting to change, knowledge filling your head that will soon be of much use.

Now that you’ve gotten that out of the way, maybe you should do another Task, maybe something to relax?
