Mercer was intent on that dummy up at the front of the class, mostly because Milo had instilled a healthy sense of mistrust in him and he fully expected it to spring up and attack them. Even if it was already injured, it didn't really make it safe, y'know? It made it motivated.
He almost missed it when the Professor began the lesson, but since the dummy still hadn't even wiggled a digit, it seemed safe to turn his attention to the task at hand. First aid. Mercer was keen on first aid. Plasters and stinging antiseptics and magical stitches and... he'd had his fair share of mishaps. But the three most IMPORTANT? His mother and father had an endless supply, so how was he supposed to pick the top three?
When it was his turn, Mercer flapped his bit of parchment full of scribbled ideas and more than a few helpful diagrams. "So my first thing is a wand, right? Because you can't do the healing spells without a wand, and you can't scare off the bear that attacked your friend without it, and you can't send up sparks to call the search party. So you definitely need a wand. And then second, I have... a stick? Like NOT a wand but just a big old stick. You can use it as a crutch if you twist your ankle hiking or you can use it as a splint if you fall off a cliff and break your arm and you can bite it if you are in so much pain that you just want to scream and cry and carry on." Ahem. He was doing so well. "Carrying on is not helpful in an emergency, just so you know. And then my last one is antiseptic potion, because my dad always says that most injuries just need you to kill the germs, slap your shirt back on, and get to work."
