Chemistry

The man stood up and said "I am sorry to have heard what that brat said to you. I thought that maybe I could persuade you both to make an announcement later, about telling everyone your names? It would mean less imbeciles insult the two of you."

Daedalus just nodded and so did Andromeda. The headmaster then said "In that case I will call for an assembly later, after your class. Thank you for your time."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Daedalus and Andromeda then left and along the way had a good laugh about the incident. As they reached the classroom Daedalus and Andromeda told the teacher why they where late. The teacher just nodded and said "Well then, this is the chemistry class. I hadn't started the lesson quite yet so you haven't missed anything."

Daedalus and Andromeda nodded and sat in chairs toward the back. As they sat down the teacher began talking "So as you know this is chemistry, here are your books."

She waved her hand and the books flew to their desks. She then continued saying "In chemistry you will be learning how to better blend mixtures and learn about the very make up of the things you will work with as an alchemist in the future!"

A few of the other students raised their hands. The teacher looked over and said "Yes, what is it?"

One of the students who raised their hand then said "Umm you never said your name?"

The teacher blushed a little and said "Oh yeah, umm my name is Sherry. Anything else?"

Another student who had a slightly derisive smile then said "Yes, what does having the knowledge of chemistry have to do with alchemy? I have never even heard of chemistry!"

Sherry frowned and said "Chemistry has a lot to do with alchemy as all things can be related to how certain parts of chemistry work. Also if you understand and incorporate chemistry into your alchemy you can make better potions more efficiently!"

The student was scowling with a red hue to is face by the end of the small lecture as he sat down.

The lesson continued on without any more people getting in the way with questions like that student. Every now and then Daedalus and Andromeda would ask questions about what they are doing which the teacher answered with gusto every time.

By the end of the lesson Daedalus had learned that with enough understanding of chemistry it was even possible to change one substance into something entirely different. He also learned that it was possible to give the properties of certain metals to other metals with enough knowledge and experience.

With this new found knowledge Daedalus began to study chemistry like a madman. As the lesson ended Daedalus was constantly sighing softly and as he walked past the teacher he said "Umm Sherry could you teach me some more in your spare time? I am very interested in chemistry."

Sherry heard him and looked over, then she looked like she was thinking before responding "Sorry Daedalus I am afraid you will have to work with the books my schedule is too busy, sorry."

Daedalus sighed but said "I thought so, oh well, thanks anyway!"
