After staring at his paper for almost a minute, he finally began to move his pencil as he wrote his first sentence.
"There are many favorite spells that a mage can 'use'... no, no, no, use isn't supposed to be spelled this way."
With the constant squeaking sound from the erasing, it quickly caught the girl's attention.
"Alex, you okay?" Mary asked, noticing his face looking a little frustrated.
"I'm fine."
Seeing Alex still writing on his paper, the other girls shifted their attention back to their paper.
"With the use of the fireball in a triangular shape, the wind blade opted to use a rectangular shape composed of pure wind elements..."
The essay started to come together as Alex wrote down his ideas about spell structure. Although it was much slower than before, there was no longer a mix-up.
An hour later...
As all seven of them finished writing, they quickly passed their paper to the person on the right.
