Kunjiro learns magic
"Aaaah! Not again," said Kunjiro to himself in a frustrationg tone. "I followed what the book wrote and nothing works," he continued, flipping the pages of the book. The boy then closed the book and sat on the floor, pouting.

Rex adjusted the books in his arm, and reached out a hand to knock on the door of his friend's room. Then he took a step back, took a deep breath and waited.

"Hmm?" said Kunjiro, as he stood up and head towards the door. He then rubbed his nose as he stood in front of the door and turned the doorknob to open the door. His mood changed after seeing his friend.
"Hello, Rex! I didn't expect you to come," he said, standing beside the door so that his friend could enter the house.

Huh?
"Hi Kunjiro!"
Rex blinked at his friend's strange statement before entering, bending a little so he wouldn't knock his head against the top of the doorway. As he passed Kunjiro, King managed to reach out and give the mushroom boy a quick but slobbering lick in greeting, happy to see his friend again.
Once inside, Rex turned around, grabbed his books and patted them twice, grinning at Kunjiro.
"I'm here for our group study, remember?"

"Study group?" said Kunjuro in a puzzling tone. He thought hard as he closed the door and managed to recall that. "Oh, yes yes yes," he said. "I forgot," the boy continued, scratching his head slightly. Kunjiro then lead his friend into his room, before offering Rex a glass of water.
"So, what are we going to study today?" the boy asked.

"Uh... magic?" Rex answered in slight disbelief, and a little disappointed. So Kunjiro really forgot...
"You really don't remember, huh? We agreed to study and practise our magic together?"

"We did?" replied Kunjiro, puzzled. "Then I really forgot about that. Sorry about that," he continued, feeling dissapointed. "I have a book here that teaches some spells. If you want to learn something that's not in here then I'd like to watch."
After some time the boy managed to flip a page that teaches a spell he was interested in."Let me try this one, after that you try," he said, reading the contents on that page. "Hopefully this works." he thought. The boy then followed what the book said and waited to see what happens next.
...
...
Nothing happened. There was a soft pop sound in the room temporarily, followed by some rustling of the leaves. Kunjiro lost his patience and stamp his feet. "Argh, it's not working again!"

King wasted no time in laughing unforgivingly at Kunjiro's failure, his laugh a hoarse, barking roar. The tyrannosaur stopped after awhile, but started his queer laugh again as he remembered the 'pop' and the accompanying rustles.
King, don't be so cruel! Rex reproached his twin(to which the reptile conveniently ignored), horrified that he could be so... heartless. And cruel. Towards Kunjiro. His friend.
Coughing slightly, Rex's face returned to the ever present smile a moment later, and he smiled sympathetically at the mushroom boy. "It's okay, maybe you can try again in a bit?" he said, and peered over Kunjiro's shoulder at the book in the boy's hand. Rex furrowed his brows and tilted his head while reading the book, then tore himself off it.
"Well, it's kind of a rather difficult spell... Would you like to try some simpler ones from my book?" Rex asked, scratching at itching spot on his neck and offering one of his notebooks to Kunjiro. "There are some intermediate ones Uncle Gryff and Andi taught be towards the end, if you'd like to try them out later."

"It's okay Rex," said Kunjiro, weakly. "I can always try again. I just need more practice, I guess," he continued, closing his book.
As he was about to get another spell book out from the bookshelf he saw Rex's spell notebook. He took it and flipped the pages, seeing that all the pages has spells that he was interested in. "You have a teacher to teach you these? You're lucky," said the mushroom kid, without taking his eyes off the book. "I have no teacher to teach me magic."
"My mom discourages me to learn magic. She said I should focus on kung fu, but I'm too young to learn any right now. That's why I learn magic when she's not in the house. Abigail, who is living with us, will teach me some kung fu when I'm older. She normally dresses like a pirate, but she's not one."

Rex could not help but sympathise with Kunjiro as the boy explained his predicament. Rex rather liked magic himself, though it was not so much as basketball. Still, it was still fun to be able to wield magic and manipulate the elements however he liked.
"Sorry to hear about that," Rex said, putting a hand gently on his friend's shoulder. He could not understand why his friend's mother would discourage learning and practicing magic, but things clicked in his head as a plan was formulated to help Kunjiro, whether it was wrong of him to do so or not. He couldn't just sit there and watch.
"Would you like to join me in Uncle Gryff's 'lessons'? There is a magic class here in the HQ, but if your mom doesn't allow you to join it, you can come over and practise with me anytime." The boy offered, smiling. "I'm sure Uncle Gryff won't mind having you at all."
"Besides, it'll be fun, both of us learning magic together."

"Really?" said Kunjiro excitedly. "I can practice magic when my mom's not in. And I bet it would be intersting."
"Oh, and where will the lesson be held? At your house?" asked Kunjiro as he put the notebook on the table.

Rex grumbled, looking from Kunjiro and... the room. The tyrannosaur's eyes scanned the place for signs of anything edible, as he felt himself slipping into boredom at the topic of magic and magical how-to's. Looking down at Kunjiro, King huffed and shrilled lowly in a rather commanding tone, despite knowing that the kid probably would not be able to understand him.
Give me something to eat.
"It is, believe me." Rex nodded enthusiastically. To Kunjiro's next question, he replied, "No, not exactly. Andi tutors me English and... and... divination! at home. For magic, we usually do it at my other home."
"Speaking of which," Rex went over to his notebook and flipped it open. The boy flipped through the pages until he came to the desired page, and pressed along the center of the two pages for the book to stay open, then removed his hand, pushed the chair aside and settled himself on the floor.
Shifting his weight to one side, Rex reached into his pocket and withdrew what seemed to be a large, empty glass marble. The boy placed said marble on his left palm and looked to Kunjiro. "Watch this."
Rex lowered his gaze to his book, tracing a finger across and down the page as he read. As he did so he mumbled, barely audibly, an incantation. Meanwhile, the marble on his palm glowed warmly, swirls of forest green and earth brown smoke emanated from it. The aura moved in to envelope the marble, and as soon as Rex lifted his finger from the book(a sign he has finished reading) and shifted his gaze to his outstretched palm, seeped into the marble.
Grinning, Rex offered the enchanted orb, within which swirled an earthly wisp, to the mushroom boy. "Here. Take this, when you're ready."
"It's a teleportation orb," Rex started to explain, when the marble started glowing a soft mavy blue and black. "Oh, and uncle Gryff's calling. He might start class sometime soon."
The boy grinned, beaming at Kunjiro. What timing, but of course, with someone like Gryffenc, nothing's a coincidence.

"That's cool," said Kunjiro admiringly. He then stared at the reptilian head behind Rex's. "Is something wrong? He doesn't seem to be happy..." said the kid, without turning at Rex.
Kunjiro stared at Rex's demonstration as his friend do magic and the effects really amazed him. He opened his mouth in awe as he took the teleportation orb from his friend. "I have a question. Do I use this orb to teleport myself to anywhere I like or I can only teleport to your home? It's really awesome, now I'll have to find a good place to hide it or my mum will be angry," he said, smiling broadly.
Upon hearing that his friend will have to leave soon, the smile disappeared from his face. Just when things starting to get interesting his friend will have leave. Before he bid farewell to Rex a question popped into his head. "Is anyone teaching you any other subjects? If not, you can join me for the science class here if you like, my mum is planning for one."

"Well.... you can only use it to teleport to my room," Rex said, grinning sheepishly. Sticking his tongue out towards King as the reptile snickered, the boy huffed, and returned his attention to Kunjiro. "My magic's not strong enough to make strong magic like that, so my room will have to do."
Rex laughed nervously, then coughed and promptly changed the subject. "I think Unc Gryff said he's gonna teach me more things in a few night's time, so I'll call you then, and you can come along to Criffelance through my room."
The boy nodded, beaming at the thought of magic lessons with his friend. At the mention of science classes, the boy shook his head.
"Nah, no one's teaching me that. Andi said she might arrange for the centre teachers to come give me a private lesson, but she haven't so yet. I'd love to join you though, I heard the science teacher's got a nastily strict brother stuck to him.."
Just then, Rex made a face, and got up to go. "Gotta go, Uncle G's calling. Sorry we didn't get anything done... anyway, hope to see you soon!"
