He managed to get a compliment from Viktor. Or, at least his attempt at one anyway. It was a start, but Zach knew he was going to have to come up with a spell that would knock his socks off! What kind of spell that would be, he didn’t know. He sat down to eat the meal he had magically prepared. The rest of the day was relatively uneventful.

Who decided they had to wake up early to do combat training? They had 24 hours in the day, did it really need to be first thing in the morning? Zach considered himself a night owl more than a morning person. Why couldn’t mornings start later? When they got there, they were greeted by Black Canary and Green Arrow who were going to teach them to fight. Zach was less than amused. Not only was he going to have to get his butt handed to him several times over (he knew he didn’t possess any fighting skills. His cousin always insisted he should learn martial arts in case he was in a situation without magic, but how often was that going to happen?) He also had to deal with all the heteros going gaga for Black Canary. He didn’t even get an attractive male superhero to ogle. Green Arrow did not do it for him. Why do straight men think ridiculous facial hair is attractive? It’s not. Who wants to kiss a hairy face? He didn’t. Yuck. Why couldn’t it have been Nightwing training them? He was certainly a better fighter than the Robin Hood knockoff, and handsome to boot.

Canary and Arrow sparred, which did not last long. Canary bested her partner with ease. Then asked what Arrow did wrong. Viktor and Talon were the first to answer. [color=darkviolet]“He was beaten that’s what he did wrong.”[/color] Zach casually replied. [color=darkviolet]“For the record, telling jokes is not a waste of time. It takes enemies off guard. I’m a magician, catching people off guard is my gimmick. Granted, she’s used to his shenanigans by now. Ugh, I’m a sorcerer, not a brawler. Is there a point to this?”[/color]
