Druao led Rorschach into the hallway, speaking as they walked.
"First thing: the midterm exams are coming up. We're hoping you can prepare a test paper for the curriculum group before next month."
"I have to write the entire test?" Rorschach remembered there were other basic Alchemy teachers. 'Why am I always the one stuck with the work?'
The two of them headed toward the faculty offices, walking against the flow of students. Because Rorschach looked so young, the students all greeted Druao as "teacher."
Druao explained to Rorschach, "It's because your class scored exceptionally well in the teacher evaluations. The curriculum group wants you to handle the core material." 'Of course,' he thought, 'you leave right after class every day. When your colleagues get together to discuss things, they just end up piling the work onto you.'
"Fine, I'll give it a shot. But if it gets sent back, I'm not responsible for revisions."
