A Thought:
As Emrys, Merlin is a very powerful sorcerer.
However, his utter lack of any formal training means Merlin is not a very good sorcerer.
The magic he does should be theoretically impossible, but he's got enough raw fucking power to just make it work. Infant demigod smashing blocks together and creating a Lego Death Star.
Merlin: *does magic that Should Not Work*
Other sorcerers:
AND THEY ARE RIGHT TO FEEL UPSET
IMAGINE YOU'RE A SORCERER. YOU'VE BEEN PRACTICING YOUR CRAFT, SHOOTING THE SHIT, LAYING LOW, PLOTTING PLANNING.....THEN THIS FARMY BOY TWINK SHOWS UP AND NUKES THE FUCKING PRIESTESS OF THE LAKE OF AVALON
I'D FEEL PISSED TOO
like, bro, you meet him, you're apprehensive of him bc 'shit that's emrys'. the emrys. the dude that's said to be the greatest sorcerer to ever walk the earth. you meet him. you can feel his magic and like holy shit, what the fuck was that??? you ask him how the fuck he gained so much power by the age of 21????
merlin: you mean....y'all don't also just have magic doing shit when you're a toddler
you, the sorcerer who has had to spend years getting control to fucking heat up a teapot: .........no.......no our magic doesn't do that
goddamn do you wanna just chuck this adult child into the lake and be done with it. better yet, you wish for the sprites to just pick you up and use your body as a sacrifice for entrance into Avalon.
and then, and then
you see how this motherfucker fights against bandits and "WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU JUST PUSHING THEM AWAY??? WHERE'S THE SHOWMANSHIP??? THE PIZZAZZ??? HOW MANY SPELLS DO YOU KNOW???"
merlin, who forgot he can freeze time and space and can launch lightning bolts at people: uh....3???
it takes the triple goddess to restrain you from murking the prophesized warlock right then and there.
"NO, NO, FUCK THAT, FUCK THIS, FUCK ALL O' Y'ALL!" you scream as you jump on a ship and move to a place that doesn't have op young adult children who didn't study shit and yet still get an A+

Ride 736: The night of the training camp
Pag 1
2: Who is it? Someone is there....
3: …. rain
At the training camp.....
4: An umbrella....
Pag 2
1: Yo, Onoda
3: …. Te
…. ah..... Te
Pag 3
1: Teshima-san!!
Have you been well?
It's been a while, we haven't seen each other since my graduation
Pag 4
1: Waa- Teshi- Teshima-san! Di you come here on puropose to see ho-how things are going!?
Have you- have you been woll too, Teshima-san!?
Yeah, as usual – woll? (haha)
2: So-sorry this is so sudden and I'm so surprised! Co-come in!!
You do seem very surprised
3: You can put your shoes here, and your umbrealla here
Yeah, I know. I've had the training camp here for three years, too, after all
4: Ahh... but, it started to rain so suddenly
Good thing I had a spare umbrella in the car
5: Sorry I came here so suddenly
Pag 5
1: I thought you guys would have “prepared” if I had contacted you beforehand
2: Training camp is busy, you can't waste even one minute of these four days. I know how busy you are
When a senpai comes in the middle of that, it makes you waste too much time
3: … Teshima-san
4: Bu.... but, it's not a waste
Uhm- ah- we really owe you so much, Teshima-san!
5: And alos, at last year's Inter High.... uhm
6: I think we could win thanks to you, Teshima-san!!
Pag 6
1: Thank you
When you say it with such earnest eyes, I'm happy to think you really mean it
2: No no, I mean, it's true!! On the mountain during the first day... and of course the mountain stage on the third day...
Ahh, I did win that
Yeah well, it's beacause of that....
3: Ah- uhm, dammit I forgot to offer you some tea.... is the tea from the vending machine okay?
Ehi ehi, it's okay. You choose
Huh!?
4: I came all the way here, let me be your senpai
Pag 7
2: Teshima.... san
3: Than-
4: yo-
Waa- Onoda!!
5: My- my bad
So- sorry, this kind of things....
You're really not good at them... I forgot....
Pag 8
1: I see, so Danchiku.... and Sugimoto, too....
2: Yes
3: Well, you have no choice but to watch over them
Yes
6: That's what I intend to do!!
Pag 9
1: You got the “face of a third year”, Onoda
You change like that, when others count on you as a “third year”, your face....
2: Taking good care of the others isn't the only role of a third year
Sometimes, turning them down, or turning your back to them is also important
Just like Makishima-san once did
3: with you
6: Even so, you chased Makishima-san's back and admired him
Pag 10
1: Kohai watch their senpai's back and grow!!
2: If you slack off, they slack off
3: If you work hard, they imitate you
Pag 11
1: If you smile, they smile
2: Who's that guy, teh
He's talking with senpai.... here in the back
How can I know!!
But, he's smirking and has long hair, he's suspicious
4: Earlier, you said that last year's Inter High was thanks to me- what about this year's Inter High?
Thanks to whom will they work hard this year?
6: You
Pag 12
1: This time, it's your turn to become the object of their admiration
Pag 13
1: Onoda
3: That's what brings Sohoku together!!
4: That guy his Onoda-san!!
Do you think we should go there and help him, teh!?
No, wait, now he's stroking his neck!?
5: Honestly, choosing the members is hard
You trouble yourself, pace around, and still you'll have no answer
Ah-
6: But the important thing isn't how it was decided but “who you decided”
Pag 14
1: If you find the answer to “who” after worrying about it a lot, everyone will accept it and move forward
2: …. Teshima-san....
3: Uhm... how did you know that that's what I was worrying about....
I'm the former captain, am I not? Also, it's written on your face
Ah-
4: He wants to strangle him ike that!? That guy with shaggy hair!!
Ahh- this is bad, teh, we have to protect Back-gate-slope-san!!
5: Let's go!! Don't hesitate, Rokudai!!
Yeah, teh....!!
6: Eh!?
Huh?
Pag 15
2: Huh!?
Senpai, let's get away
3: Who are you!? Back-gate-slope-sa.... What do you want to do to Onoda-san!!
Pag 16
5: In the confusion I called him by his real name, “Onoda-san”, teh!! Sorry!!
6: Unathorized people shouldn't be able to enter, it's reserved!!
Right!! Shaggy-hair!!
Rokudai-kun!? Kinaka-kun!?
7: N-no, you two got it wrong-
8: Onoda....
Pag 17
1: You're really protecting your team members with all your strength
2: Eh-
3: Since you're protecting them, they're protecting you, too
4: What's your name
Yessir, my name is Rokudai Renta- no wait, that's not right!!
5: Huh
6: Since I'm protecting them.... with all my strength.....!!
Pag 18
2: Rokudai, if
Huh!? What
If you clear this training camp and get chosen as a member for the Inter High
Huh!?
3: Protect Onoda like this with all your strength
Pag 19
1: Huh
…. yes
2: Idiot, Rokudai, don't let your guard down just because of those sweet words!!
Ah!! That's right, teh!!
I'll introduce you: this is Teshima Junta-san
You have some goos first years!
He graduated last year and is now an university student, but
3: He's the former Sohoku captain
4: Cap....
I was nominated captain by Teshima-san
5: ta....in?
Pag 20
1: We- we- we're so sorry!!
It's nothing
2: We did that, teh....!!
To- to such an important senpai!!
3: Ah.... uh... thank you for your work!! What brings such an important senpai like you here?
He came to encourage us
4: Ah also, I brought
6: some new pedals for Onoda!!
