Kasawa Lanford:
Sasha smiled. "Follow me," she said to Andy and the others. She brought them through another garden and across what appeared to be a park then past another building before arriving at a large field. "This is our exercise field, but we also use it to play sports, well, sports that the Elders allow that is. Soccer, volley-ball, dodge ball, those types of sports is what we have here amongst others," she told Andy.

The field was laid out before the group and cut into several squares much like how the practice field was. However, each field was roughly the size of a football field, and had goal posts on either end. Some had volley ball nets in the center's while others had walls to b used for dodgeball.

"Take your pick," she told him.

Director of Music:
"Soccer's my sport."  Andy slowly walked over to the green.  He inhaled deeply.  He had missed this, he just hadn't realized this until now.  He grabbed a soccer ball that was nearby and started kicking the ball around, his skill, amazingly good for a 10 year old.  Andy's face was furrowed in concentration as he became lost in his own little world.

The Elder looked at Phineas.  The boy was clearly distraught.  The Elder was about to put a hand on Phineas, but realized, that human contact, would rather scare the boy.  "Do you...miss the man?"

Phineas looked appalled.  "NO.  Of course I don't!"

Kasawa Lanford:
"Then why fret over him? He isn't here in this place,. he isn't around you or your friends," The elder said. "However, I feel something 'else' happened.. perhaps at the park?"

"Not bad," Sasha said, clapping her hands. "He's pretty good."

Rin smiled. "Andy is the soccer captain at our---- err.... was a soccer captain of our old school," she said and looked partially at the ground before shaking her head. "Do you know when we'll be allowed to do these things?"

"You make it sound like all we learn is magic, on school days before lunch we usually have several recess hours. The teacher will tell you, but... class starts at nine like normal. Then we have our first break at ten, then we have class until twelve and have another break. Basically each 'period' is two hours. We have six periods a day, two hours each period, but we have recess every now and then depending on who is teaching. Sometimes, like during math or language class, the teacher might have us only do work for an hour then take us out for recess," she smiled at Rin.

Rin nodded. "Recess.... is it the same for everyone?"

"First, second, third and fourth years. The Elders do treat us like kids, but then again, we 'are' kids so...." Sasha shrugged her shoulders, hands up to show her discomfort. "It does seem like no one minds how we are treated; it just makes life easier on us since we don't have to worry about to much responsibility, other than controlling our magic and the occasional academy chore's," Sasha said.

Director of Music:
"I..he just...I...he got arrested."  Phineas looked away, concentrating more on a spot on the ceiling.

Andy stopped kicking the ball around.  His face, flushed.  "Awww...y'mean we still have math and science and all that boring stuff?"

Kasawa Lanford:
Sasha nodded. "Science and Math do play a part in our magic believe it or not. It's not like a video game where you can point a mouse at a location and hit enter," she said.

"Not to mention that we need science since it's needed for us to create our own spells. Once you start your third year here you'll be allowed to create your own spells, and for that you need to know science. You need mathematic's in order to know how much of a certain material to use, but we don't use any of the complex math here, mostly just the simple stuff. Plus, Minus, Times, Fractions, Geometry, Algebra, that kind of math," she smiled at Andy. "You'll find it won't be so boring since our teachers make the classes rather fun," she winked at him.

"How long ago was he arrested?" The Elder curiously asked.
