[excuse yooooou???? offensive!!! And yet still completely and totally accurate.]

Yep! Taako and I kicked ass in magic school, came out at the top of our classes. Which is why we were a shoo-in to join the Institute after the Academy. Totally took the world by storm as the most bomb-ass arcanists of the time.

[until, you know, an actual storm came through and took the world away from them. whatevs] If you don't have magic in your world, what did you even study in school?
