Hey, you never know with this place.

[He's learned not to assume much of anything, OK?]

And yeah, I know adults go to school too, though they usually do it willingly. And... not quite like this. It was less that anyone actively forced us to attend, and more that if we didn't learn how to use and control that world's magic, the magic energy that everyone who was brought there had in them would backfire and kill them in a very icky and painful way. So given the choice between 'learning magic' or 'painful death'... yeah, no much choice there.
