Thank Merlin, I thought he'd never leave.

Are you talking about your father?

[makachopgo]

Yes, sir, I am.

[numbersnfigures]

You're... happy he's leaving?

[makachopgo]

Well, he won't be around to terrorise my friends, so yes I'm quite happy he's leaving.

[numbersnfigures]

I see. I didn't realize that he was irritating you.

Although that's fairly typical of most teenagers, to be irritated by their parents. It's indicative of the cognitive and emotional changes teenagers go through as they progress through adolescence-

Erm, anyway. I hope I can be as effective of a teacher as he was.

[makachopgo]

Yes...it's definitely annoying to me when he tries to cut my friends up with a scythe.

Um, but I look forward to you taking over for him.

[numbersnfigures]

Yeah that's... I can see how that might be... disagreeable...

Oh? Will you be taking the class next year?

[makachopgo]

I'd like to, if you're still allowing fifth years in the class with permission.

[numbersnfigures]

Sure. I would assume your marks are good enough.

That's great, Maka. I look forward to having you as a student.
