Mentorship

"Don't be so shocked," Professor Whitaker chuckled, finding Adam's reaction very amusing. "In fact, all graduate students, at some point, have to mentor undergraduate students."

"Really?" Adam asked with deep skepticism.

"Of course." The old professor nodded matter-of-factly. "It's been a tradition in Saratoga for centuries now. You see, us Rank 3 magi don't have enough time to be teaching every student that resides here."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "We can only allocate so much time to properly educate you graduate students. As for the Rank 1 undergraduate students, they are mostly taught by you lot."

Adam felt that this indeed made a lot of sense. It would be very inefficient for the Rank 3 magi at Saratoga to be teaching Rank 1 students when the same can be done by Rank 2 graduate students.

But still, he didn't feel good about this. Adam knew nothing about teaching. Moreover, he also felt that he wouldn't be a good teacher.
