Yeah — you should be proud. This kinda magic is nothing to sneeze about.

[ Percy isn't considered a newbie anymore by any means, but he has kinda tried to put in the effort in magic wielding as of late. Partly so he could keep up with Annabeth, and partly because one of his teachers had put him on the spot, hoping that the added pressure of trying to demonstrate his abilities to the fresh faces would inspire him.

Unfortunately, that's not super the case.

Chiron would have a field day trying to explain how impossible it could be to teach Percy anything he didn't want to learn on his own. ]

I'm still kind of flunking out of my magic studies, and the tutors here keep telling me to stop cheating when it comes to the water-magic.
