Stephanie gave Wolfe a dirty look at the suggestion of tucking her in for an afternoon nap, so he placed her on the table and got out the Adventurers Handbook, his guide to useful magic.
A lot of the early spells in the book were wind and water elements, which Wolfe couldn't use yet, and the book assumed that readers had received combat magic training at an academy, but there were still some useful spells, and the knowledge of the outside world was invaluable.
So valuable that Wolfe completely lost track of time and was still reading when Cassie and Ella returned after class.
"What are you up to? You missed class." Ella greeted him as she walked in.
"It was an unavoidable delay. But I got everything that was on the list and some extra stuff. Stephen ran into some trouble with the Headmistress, though, and I'm told he was sent back to the city." Wolfe explained.
