But his plans were cut short by the bullies that cornered him every day as he left school and there were three of them, and all of them were cutting his escape and routes and ways off, and in the front facing him was the leader.
“Hey there Swirly, you had some strange thoughts and ideas in class today, care to explain them to us?” Carl said using the terrible nickname he had.
“No, I would not care to explain it to those who bully the one who knows it, and while I am happy to teach those willing to learn, you are not willing or able to.”
“Yeah, well me and my friends think differently,” he said pointing to Cliff and Pete, his two ‘friends’ that were more of assistants, “Tell us what you meant, otherwise you’ll get a nice trip and visit to the toilets with your head in first.”
“Fine then, what I meant was that walking is a pointless pursuit if one can simply travel faster, and in this case by means of teleportation instead.”
“That makes no sense to me, but tell you what, how about I let you off easy today, and then you can pay me twice what you usually do tomorrow?”
“You might as well do what you plan to do now, it doesn’t matter when or where it happens, what matter is that it is done, and done very quickly too.”
“Well boys, you heard him, let’s give him our usual treatment today, shall we?”
And with that said the boys swarmed in on him and started casting their spells, and as it happened every single time, Star Swirl had a flash back and remembered his first day when he came to school all alone with no pony else.
