Fredrich knew since he was very little what he wanted to do when we he was older. From his earliest memories, Fredrich had wanted to run a joke shop. He had been practising all sorts of experiments on his fellow classmates, harmless little gags to test his skills. Was it a feasible dream? Verdict was out, and the jury was saying yes. Kids were coming up to Fredrich on the playground asking for one of his home-made gags. Being the son of the science teacher certainly had its perks. While he wasn't allowed to learn magic yet, Fredrich was able to raid his mom's supplies back at home. And occasionally steal her keys for the locked up goods in the science room and make some really cool, explosive stuff. Not to mention that Caliper also had a pretty impressive stash that Fredrich could swipe stuff from, but that was far more difficult to steal from. Caliper kept a far tighter inventory of his goods, completely and 100% distrusting kids. And he was right to distrust them. Fredrich was the distrustful type, and stealing from Caliper successfully brought the baphomet great joy. Not to mention that it brought in quite the profit. Fredrich was getting all sorts of goods from the other kids, including the best imported candies. Only his the best of the best would due for Fredrich's tastebuds. And of course, his magic pills and glitter bombs were worth every candy traded. Really, Fredrich was doing them a favour and clearly giving them a discount they didn't truly deserve.

Yes, Fredrich's success on the playground would surely mean he would succeed in adulthood. Wouldn't it ... ?
