Heat blossomed in her cheeks again. She hated her face.
Trying to NOT think 'blushy' thoughs...Ves focused on a number...Any number.
"23."
Was that okay?
"Mmhmm! Okay! Yes, great work!"

to say she was confused was an understatement but she really couldn't help herself, looking over to west she said "is this a joke or something" quietly cause if so it was Funny and whoever was pulling it on them was Winning. she let out a chuckle as the guy was saying Odessa gave an invisible number.. really
those didn't exist...
but really she was amused... really just really amused.
"You there? I didn't hear your number, yes please thank you."

And random number calling? Okay. "12!" The blonde offered when she could. Was she going to have to interpret this too or?
"Great, Hufflepuff work. Just great, thank you."

Invisible num...

"You only need to give your number ONCE, please and thanks. No need to keep at it."

"Professor, isn't Arithmancy a science? In Science, questioning and doubting is key to progress. If one is told to listen, to never doubt or question a subject then it is called PROPAGANDA or BRAINWASHING! All the students present in class are humans, with intellect of human" although the professor teaching seemed to have the intellect of a Troll
"they are not Sheep. It is not healthy to blindly listen, in order to know, one must interact and ask questions". She should not confuse the class.. eh.. "
Exactly, I am not confusing the class. Making up rubbish confuses them, yet stating facts is not called confusing them. I can prove to them what I am saying as it is in books, they are able to ask questions about what I said. That means that what I am saying is the truth. By the professor being defensive, shutting down queries it is proof that the Professor does not have truth on their side.". Why was West Odessa not speaking? About invisible numbers, usually things that are invisible exist yet are not hidden. Yet this professor's brain was not invisible.. it did not exist.
"You have still not said a NUMB3R. Can I have a volunt33r to please explain to this confused young woman what a NUMB3R is? Yes please? She may need the nurse."

Cue why she was here staring at the new Professor who probably was the reason she had showed up. Curiosity you know.
The fifth year sat silently trying to figure out what they were doing. They hadnt started the lesson yet, right? Juuust checking.
Umm did he say invisible number? Ok, stop everything right there she had never heard of those!!!! Did everyone know about them? How come she did not. blond moment
" zero." She said after a very long pause. That was a number still, no?
"Yes, okay, okay. Zero is excellent, great job."

However, now she wasn't ENTIRELY sure if this was one of those people who would teach her something useful.
Err.
Somebody liked numbers, eh?
And they had to shout numbers? Was she in the right classroom? She glanced around herself, even turning around fully in her seat to make sure she was able to take everything in. No, there were a couple of people she recognized. Some of which were actually shouting numbers at the professor. He couldn't be serious, could he? What on Earth? She was NOT going to go about shouting numbers. That was so NOT why she'd come here.
Maybe she could just write it on a piece of parchment and hold it up like a judge in one of those Muggle Topmodel TV-shows.
"More Hufflepuffs. I knew you'd excel in this, yes yes! History doesn't lie or fail, thanks!"

No pancake left behind. 'Kay? Good.
He dashed through the halls until he arrived at his destination, skidding in and flopping on a seat on the back near some older students. He hadn't missed anything, right? Nah.
Shouting numbers? OKAY. "Three-point-one-four-one-five-nine..." They got the gist, right? He'd liked that number ever since...well, since the professor that was his dad mentioned it.
"Decimals are good, great work, very good yes thanks."

"Sixty Eight"
Even numbers were always nice.

Listening along, Abbi sniffled some giggles at the way this Professor spoke. EVERYTHING was just revolved around numbers, but hey it suited his subject so nothing wrong with it.
"TWO THOUSAND MILLION BILLION GAZILLION!" She shouted at him...politely?
There. That was her random number.
"Exactly! Yes! Yes, yes yes, you are doing it exactly right!"

"Yes, I think so, I think that is exactly right. Random number, thanks yes!"

Joining in with the other students, she stood up from her desk and called out a number. "Fifty seven!"
Oh. The oddities of this task suddenly dawned on her. Why were they shouting out random numbers? Eh, she supposed she'd find out soon enough...
"Solid number, great work, good job. Anyone know if it's prime?"

Now, what was this on the board? W3lc0m3 2 AR1THMANCY. That was cheesy. But Schuyler liked it anyway. In fact, she regarded the number-words for another second and came to the conclusion that it would look much cooler written all graffiti-like. It was a shame the prof hadn't thought of that.
And this old man's first instruction was to stand up and shout a random number. Did they really have to stand? That seemed unnecessary. But if he wanted some numbers, Schuyler would give him one. She opened her mouth to say 'seven,' when some little girl stood right up and beat her to it. Pfft. Figures. "Nine." She'd settle for a nine.
"A little louder please, yes? Okay."

She slipped into a seat... but then the professor wanted them to stand and shout a random number so she did, "2!"
"Two to you, t00! Yes thank you too!"

Professor French cleared his throat to begin again,
"I'm going to need someone to perform the ancient Egyptian art of ADDITION on all the numbers shouted! What RANDOM NUMBER have we created here today as a class??? Anyone? Please perform the addition." OOC: No more shouting numbers, K? We're ADDING the random #'s now. Add the #s. HAVE FUN WIH THAT LOL. But you may still arrive if you want. OPEN DOOR CLASS.
