Mary And The Witch's Flower Page #2

---

And he called Tib a familiar!

Not a familiar?

Black as he is,

and with eyes like emeralds?

Next you'll be telling me

you're not a witch, won't you?

A witch?

Come now, hurry! You can't be late

for classes on your first day!

Like I said, I'm not a new pupil...

And here we are.

I'm out of breath...

Tib!

Familiars must be leashed on campus.

That's the rule.

Campus?

Yes, of Endor College.

Endor College...

This is the main gate.

Many a fine witch has

passed through this gate.

It's a prestigious school

dating back to the days of dragons.

Oh, yes.

I need to read you something.

Endor College Rule Number One.

Remember this, or you will pay dearly.

Pay dearly?

Ready? Ahem!

Trespassers will be transformed."

Now, repeat.

Trespassers will be transformed.

Those who enter wrongfully

will be transformed into

some other form.

New pupils get a tour from

the Headmistress herself.

Wait!

So long, until later!

He abandoned me.

Am I supposed to enter?

How strange...

This must be a mistake.

They'll let us out.

It's okay, I'm not scared...

Welcome to Endor College!

You must be a new pupil.

No, actually, I...

Look at this black cat familiar,

and this hair!

No, I'm...

You aren't, of course, a trespasser?

I'm a new pupil, Madam.

Excellent, excellent!

I am the Headmistress,

Madam Mumblechook. Your name?

What? Oh, Mary Smith, Madam.

Welcome to Endor College, Mary Smith.

This is the single finest

college of magic,

open only to the chosen ones.

College of magic...

Come, now. Let me

show you around the campus.

Sunlight is collected to

illuminate the campus day and night.

It's beautiful.

You like what you see?

It's Madam Mumblechook.

Look, Tib!

Hello, Madam.

Good day to you.

You have elevators, too.

They run on electricity.

Electricity is a form of magic, you know.

What? What's happening?

Let's tour the classrooms first.

This is the First Year classroom.

They're taking broom-riding lessons.

It takes over a year to gain

true mastery over a broom.

I see.

But you won't be needing it.

I noticed you were quite adept

with the broom.

You need to see our

more specialized fields.

Specialized?

Magic aeronautics,

magic history, magic chemistry...

We offer various majors in magic.

But we are perhaps best known

for transformation magic,

considered the most difficult.

Transformation?

Wow.

But it's an awful lot of studying.

Don't you have sports

or field trips?

We have our recreations, of course.

Indeed, this is a place for cultivating

excellence in both body and spirit.

We have ample facilities

for physical training.

This is amazing.

This is the dining hall.

We allow our students to eat

whenever and as much as they please.

They're using magic to cook!

Looks delicious!

It seems you have a remarkable talent,

Miss Mary Smith.

Truly phenomenal.

A talent? For what?

What else? For magic, of course!

The insignia on your hand is proof.

Oh, this...

I can already see it.

You're a once-in-a-century prodigy!

Mastering the broom already,

and taming such a perfect familiar

as a black cat with emerald eyes!

I'm not used to getting

compliments like this.

Oh no, it is indeed remarkable!

This flaming red hair of yours!

Red-haired witches have always

been the most superior.

No other hair color is

more coveted by witches.

Only prodigies possess this hair.

This is our laboratory.

In Second Year, you'll also

conduct chemical experiments.

Chemical experiments? Not magic?

It's Doctor Dee's class.

The renowned wizard,

the pride of our college!

You haven't heard of him?

Oh... of course!

The Doctor, right?

I'll introduce you to him.

Doctor! Doctor Dee!

Yes, Madam Mumblechook?

I was just about to analyze

the results of the earlier tests.

What warrants this interruption?

Magic experiments must be analyzed

with precise calculations,

on top of which we must

devise meticulous plans.

Allow me to introduce you to

Mary Smith, a new pupil.

A splendid talent with great potential.

And do look at her red hair!

Red is indeed a marvelous color.

Red is the most mature form

of a Philosopher's Stone...

though I wonder if it was

first black, then white.

In any case, nice to meet you, Miss Mary.

Nice to meet you, too.

Doctor Dee has long studied

the fusion of chemistry and magic.

A question for the able one.

If we call virtual reality worlds

from the Interbaila language turtle

and the approximate value of magic

in the ancient Eltel language crane",

which of the two do you think

is the more effective approach

in terms of the Alphalabozome

nucleic acid anti-Entatium reaction?

- Uh...

- The turtle or crane?

Turtle... I think...

Turtle, you say? Impossible!

No, you may indeed be right!

You've carved a new path!

Madam, this child is splendid!

You're well versed in chemistry, too!

Well, I'm not so bad at science.

Very well!

I shall show you

our most advanced class!

Great!

This is our most advanced class.

But...

There's no one here.

I see the class is going well.

Wow...

They're practicing invisibility.

Let's see you try it.

You, Grizel!

Let her borrow yours.

But there's no way!

I've never done this...

Here!

Sorry, Tib.

Now look into the ball and concentrate.

The flower insignias!

Now dissolve your cells down

to the level of unconsciousness!

Then use magical fusion

to cloak yourself!

Fine, whatever happens will happen.

Disappear, disappear, disappear,

disappear, disappear...

She's doing it!

Superb!

What's happening? Wait...

Could it be?

She's already surpassed invisibility!

What? What's happening?

Tib!

Tib!

Excellent!

Most sublime, Mary Smith!

Where did you acquire such skill?

That was a very advanced spell.

How unexpected!

You may be a prodigy the likes

of which we've never seen!

What? Oh, no no...

That is the power of

a red-haired witch!

- No wonder.

- A red-haired witch!

She's amazing!

I suppose that was only about

40 percent of my power.

Unbelievable!

We're hoping to reach

even loftier heights here.

And we're truly honored to welcome

a gifted witch such as yourself!

I'm looking forward to it.

A round of applause for the enrollment

of this rare prodigy. Mary Smith!

Don't worry!

I think I'd make a fine witch!

My heart's still racing.

Come to my office so I can

give you an enrollment form.

Yes, with pleasure.

Well now, I must tend to my

experiments in transformation magic.

Transformation magic?

That's the strongroom.

It's where we keep the subjects

of our transformation experiments.

Oh...

A young specimen. This one

will make a great teaching aid.

These are wonderful experiments

that turn powerless animals

into magical beings.

Transformation experiments?

Tib!

What's the matter, Tib?

Hold on to your familiar.

I'm sorry.

What was that?

The progress of science and magic

is built on countless failures.

Failures?

Precisely! Failures are valuable!

Well, farewell for now, Miss Smith!

I shall see you again after
