[ Between weeks 3 to 4 of lessons in REAL magic and Kaito is struggling along at an average pace. He's not the least bit shy about throwing himself into a new skill and practising until he gets it right, but real magic is a far cry from the physical skills he has currently honed. It's an entirely new sense - one which he first has to grow accustomed to before he can even begin to learn how to apply it.
Today he's in the library nose-deep in several beginner tomes. For his first spell, he wants to master the basic 'detect magic'. It makes his heart leap every time he thinks he sees a glimpse of what he presumes to be other people's magic. Yet it never sticks. Frustrated, he finally throws up his hands and slumps over the back of his chair, earning himself a few annoyed looks from those within hearing. ]
