Not too surprised about the request to see Sissay later, Kaiser simply nodded and replied with a clearly unconcerned, "Yes, okay."

He wasn't anything close to alarmed; it wasn't like he could get into trouble for being bad at maths, or giving wrong answers. Even that one Creatures lesson earlier in the term, when de Nostredame took points for particular answers, it had been more because they were offensive rather than because they were wrong. Kaiser's arithmetic couldn't be offensive (unless you were really, really into maths), it was just just numbers.

Anyway. Calculators. Mechanical calculators. What did Kaiser know about them?

Nothing. Not a thing. This, right now, was the first he'd ever heard of one. Naturally, he opted not to answer, instead scribbling a little doodle in the bottom corner of his parchment; a tiny, crude drawing of a thestral.
