Module 4: A Short Story
"Suga, we must head out now," the village of Karasuno's head wizard, Master Bloise, says to his young apprentice, Sugawara Koushi. "I thought you would've been more excited to see where I get all my ingredients for potions."
"Sorry, Master Bloise-sama!" Sugawara apologizes, hopping over his cluttered desk and running up to his mentor. Bloise has been Sugawara's mentor for only about a year now, but Suga's learned so much in that time.
The average wizard apprenticeship is approximately eight years long; nine years if the Master Wizard decides to take the apprentice early (Apprentices have to be 18 years old to officially graduate. Taking the apprentice early would result in them being only 17 after the eight years are over) …show more content…
"I just get caught up with my readings most of the time," Sugawara replies, rubbing the back of his head as he follows Master Bloise out of the small cottage in the woods. "I'm currently reading about the ancient Dark Incantations!"
"That's good and all, but tidiness is essential to a wizard's work," Master Bloise explains. "If you lose just one scroll, well then...... good luck. You're on your own when that happens."
"I'll clean it up immediately when we get back," Sugawara says, smiling widely as he stands at the top of the hill with Master Bloise, looking out at the town in the distance. "It's going to be amazing to be in the village again~"

"Yep. This is Sugawara Koushi, son of Sugawara Eiko," Master Bloise says.
"Hello!" Sugawara greets. "This is a very nice shop!"
"Well, he's sure got his mother's politeness." The man behind the counter, 'Hachiro', smiles. "And he's got his mother's looks." Sugawara smiles back at the man. He's always being compared to his mother's looks and attitude, but he didn't really mind it. His mother, Eiko, was a nice and dependable woman.
"Dad, I've finished restocking the shelves," a voice says behind Sugawara. He turns to see the boy from earlier holding the same box, but it was empty this time.
"Great. You can go set the box in the backroom and have the rest of the day to yourself," Hachiro says. "Unless you want to study up on the different herbs." Sugawara, completely ignoring his mentor and the counter guy, stares at the young boy. He had to be about the same age as Sugawara and with his darker skin, almost black, short hair, and brown eyes, he had a certain beauty him. And he seemed reasonably built for his ago too, his muscles slightly showing through his shirt. Oh...... and Suga just noticed the best part about
