"So um..." Jenny started, but she forgot what she about to say next. She was too concentrated on figuring out where to go next. So only numbers huh? And do something when you see the number 2 and 7...that's ridiculous. "I'll go first." Jenny said after a while. She started walking straight down the path in front of her. She wondered if Kurumi liked doing mazes too.
Kurumi was never happier to see somebody she knew and she hugged Jenny purely out of reflex. "
S-s-s-sorry," she whispered once she had calmed down a bit. The chocolate in her mouth had completely melted now and she took Jenny's hand as they slowly made their way through the maze. They went straight for a while, turned left, turned right, went straight, turned right again and continued to walk until they found a blue stone wall with text carved on it.

Agrippan once told me that you have to be able to count to spell.
(B)+(Q-1)+(Y)+(K) / T =
Kurumi looked at the wall and felt a bead of sweat run down her chin. They had been walking for what seemed like a long time. She would have to thank the professor later for the chocolate. Maybe some cookies were in order. Mint cookies... "
Agrippan," Kurumi said aloud. What was that supposed to mean? She scratched her head and concentrated hard for several minutes. "
Oh! It mean's the Pythagorean Method!" Kurumi dropped to her knees and pulled out a spare piece of parchment and wrote the sequence on the paper and then looked back at the wall. "
Ok...so B means 2...Q-1 means P which means 7...Y means 7...and K means 2...slash T? Oh, that must mean divide! So then the answer 9...What was it that professor said? it is a combination of two...I think we both have to do something," Kurumi said taking out her wand. "
Jenny, let's both cast PINGO WHITE and write the number 9 together. That should make the wall vanish." She looked at Jenny - this was getting exciting. "
On the count of 3...1...2...3! PINGO WHITE!" and Kurumi began to paint on the wall.
