Friedrich Ross, our professor, entered the room a minute before the class was due to start. He was a large man with a dignified presence and had the appearance of someone in his thirties.

His three assistants quickly distributed papers with questions and answers: example problems along with the magic sequences for solving them. I shuddered as I tried to understand the written solutions. This material was frighteningly complex.

I heard others mutter around me.

“What the hell is this...?”

“Damn, this year looks tough. It’s way worse than last time.”

“No way... I spent a year preparing and everything...”

It sounded like everybody else shared my feelings.

“It’s okay. Even if we can’t handle it, Noelle will manage somehow.”

“Right! Noelle, we’re counting on you to save us!”

They meant to encourage me, but I only felt like throwing up. I tried my best to listen to the lecture despite how little of it sank in. I was shocked. People were depending on me and I wanted to live up to their expectations, but I was utterly helpless. Magic sequences had always been among my favorite subjects, but now it sounded like the tongue of a distant land.

I don’t understand a thing! It’s no use! I’m sorry, everyone. I just can’t do this!

Just as I was about to give up, a memory from my school days crossed my mind—back when I first got really stuck during my third year at the academy of magic. I’d been preparing for an exam on enchantments, a subject I’d always struggled with.

Straining to keep up with the lessons, I’d been totally at a loss. I had been running out of ideas when I reached for my final option and spoke to the boy I’d hated so much back then.

“Hey, you’re the last person I’d want to ask for help, but there’s something here I just can’t figure out.”

Luke had sounded impatient when he’d answered me then, but it’d been easier to understand than the teacher’s explanation.

“You try to solve the whole thing in one go without taking your time, don’t you?” he’d observed that day.

The part that left the strongest impression was his solution for dealing with a problem he couldn’t understand. “Try to break it into smaller pieces. Work methodically to work out each part one by one. Do that, and you can close in on the right answer, no matter how difficult the problem is.”

Calm down, I thought, back in the classroom for the special training program, looking down at the question paper. I took a deep breath to soothe my nerves. I just needed to break down the problem and carefully work through it a bit at a time, starting with what I did understand. It certainly wasn’t easy—it was hard work and I struggled to follow it—but I patiently approached the question.

I lost track of time, so who knows how long it took me, but I eventually came across the barest hint of understanding. Hmm? Could this be...?

On closer inspection, I realized one part of secondary support sequences
