‘We can’t? I thought we were in charge here!’
‘Yes, but you have to be extremely careful when dealing with Master Tugelbend. He’s an expert on procedures. So what I thought we could do is give him this paper in the finals tomorrow.’
The Archchancellor took the proferred document. His lips moved silently as he read it.
‘Just one question.’
‘Yes. And he’ll either pass or fail. I’d like to see him manage 84 per cent on that.’

In a sense which his tutors couldn’t quite define, much to their annoyance, Victor Tugelbend was also the laziest person in the history of the world.
Not simply, ordinarily lazy. Ordinary laziness was merely the absence of effort. Victor had passed through there a long time ago, had gone straight through commonplace idleness and out on the far side. He put more effort into avoiding work than most people put into hard labour.
He had never wanted to be a wizard. He’d never wanted much, except perhaps to be left alone and not woken up until midday. When he’d been small, people had said things like, ‘And what do you want to be, little man?’ and he’d said, ‘I don’t know. What have you got?’
They didn’t let you get away with that sort of thing for very long. It wasn’t enough to be what you were, you had to be working to be something else.
He’d allowed himself to be sent to the University because it was easier than not going.
He tended to smile a lot, in a faintly puzzled way. This gave people the impression that he was slightly more intelligent than they were. In fact, he was usually trying to work out what they had just said.
And he had a thin moustache, which in a certain light made him look debonair and, in another, made him look as though he had been drinking a thick chocolate milk shake.
He was quite proud of it. When you became a wizard you were expected to stop shaving and grow a beard like a gorse bush. Very senior wizards looked capable of straining nourishment out of the air via their moustaches, like whales.
It was now half-past one. He was ambling back from the Mended Drum, the most determinedly disreputable of the city’s taverns. Victor Tugelbend always gave the impression of ambling, even when he was running.
He was also quite sober and a bit surprised, therefore, to find himself in the Plaza of Broken Moons. He’d been heading for the little alley behind the University and the piece of wall with the conveniently spaced removable bricks where, for hundreds and hundreds of years, student wizards had quietly got around, or more precisely climbed over, Unseen University’s curfew restrictions.
The plaza wasn’t on the route.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of being a student wizard? You got quite a lot of free time, a certain amount of licence in matters like drinking a lot of ale and singing bawdy songs, no-one tried to kill you much except in the ordinary, everyday Ankh-Morpork way of things and, thanks to the legacy, you also got a modest but comfortable style of living. Of course, you didn’t get much in the way of prestige but at least you were alive to know this.
So Victor had devoted a considerable amount of energy in studying firstly the terms of the will, the byzantine examination regulations of Unseen University, and every examination paper of the last fifty years.
The pass mark in Finals was 88.
Failing would be easy. Any idiot can fail.
Victor’s uncle had been no fool. One of the conditions of the legacy was that, should Victor ever achieve a mark of less than 80, the money supply would dry up like thin spit on a hot stove.
He’d won, in a way. Few students had ever studied as hard as Victor. It was said that his knowledge of magic rivalled that of some of the top wizards. He spent hours in a comfy chair in the Library, reading grimoires. He researched answer formats and exam techniques. He listened to lectures until he could quote them by heart. He was generally considered by the staff to be the brightest and certainly the busiest student for decades and, at every Finals, he carefully and competently got a mark of 84.
It was uncanny.

The Archchancellor reached the last page.
Eventually he said: ‘Ah. I see. Feel sorry for the lad, do you?’
‘I don’t think you quite see what I mean,’ said the Bursar.
‘Fairly obvious to me,’ said the Archchancellor. ‘Lad keeps coming within an ace of passin’.’ He pulled out one of the papers. ‘Anyway, it says here he passed three years ago. Got 91.’
‘Yes, Archchancellor. But he appealed.’
‘Appealed? Against passin’?’
‘He said he didn’t think the examiners had. noticed that he got the allotropes of octiron wrong in question six. He said he couldn’t live with his conscience. He said it would haunt him for the rest of his days if he succeeded unfairly over better and more worthy students. You’ll notice he got only 82 and 83 in the next two exams.’
‘Why’s that?’
‘We think he was playing safe, Master.’
The Archchancellor drummed his fingers on the desk.
‘Can’t have this,’ he said. ‘Can’t have someone goin’ around almost bein’ a wizard and laughin’ at us up his, his – what’s it that people laugh up?’
‘My feelings exactly,’ purred the Bursar.
‘We should send him up,’ said the Archchancellor firmly.
‘Down, Master,’ said the Bursar. ‘Sending him up would mean making spiteful and satirical comments about him.’
‘Yes. Good thinkin’. Let’s do that,’ said the Archchancellor.
‘No, Master,’ said the Bursar patiently. ‘He’s sending us up, so we
‘Right. Balance things up,’ said the Archchancellor. The Bursar rolled his eyes. ‘Or down,’ the Archchancellor added. ‘So you want me to give him his marchin’ orders, eh? Just send him along in the morning and–’
‘No, Archchancellor. We can’t do it just like that.’

Correspondent li dual rich August 18, New York than 92 to 76 Puerto Rico 16 points, any familiar with China group of world situation for such results estimated preoccupied. Puerto Rico, has not to small is a big win. Again, the world is impossible in opponent team out-played. DengHua DE seems to have this kind of feeling, the game Chanel bags ends whistle rang, he stood up from the bench, a face easily to Puerto Rico's bench, he even with interest and a player a few words of Puerto Rico. The DengHua hoardings, beginning to press conference, he almost as an abrupt end to interview with the China travel journalists nose, say they are not professional. Germany has never before DengHua, so rude, at home, he is almost answer their questions. No one knows why suddenly DengHua DE, nobody knows how the abacus DengHua DE dozen, only is sure, though, although already warm-up fourth world's future is uncertain, only DengHua DE can still laughing. Aimed at the Chinese media China and the world, because Puerto Rico many Chinese reporters were not only by common interview certificate (the), the identity of the audience at the news FaBuShi reporter requirment. Puerto Rico coach Manuel, Aaron, take lead in ayodhya cable news briefing spot. But clearly, Chinese media focus in their body, symbolically answered the questions, they went away. Before long, DengHua DE wears a white short-sleeved national T-shirt, with the sun came FaBuShi news. DengHua's face no loss, leaving no trace of what ever scold, just losing game, he didn't seem to take it seriously. Nobody thought, he is a field and the USA. A journalist asked, through this a few games, China have to learn something? The reporter haven't finished, DengHua DE is forced to interrupt. "I learn first thing, you can report back to China, how exactly do bad. What do you think?" DengHua, said that this could be a little weight, he said later or seriously, "added the second thing is, the process of our good exercise. The first game play Brazil, they are before the 18th, in no case (yi to Nike activities, we also), and I give active combat to play many young people, so that I can know what people will leave for America. Next, I still don't think we could play a better performance, the Coco Chanel last part is very bad points in the third quarter of (8-35 single day), may lose 27 points for me," DengHua exercise, "said the game, we with Puerto Rico made some mistakes, but it is exactly what we need, even find these errors in the world championships, we won't do it again. We need to do is summarized from several games, then learn step by step forward." A reporter ask: "a dozen states, China brigade game than the progress in where?" DengHua DE again questioned the Chinese media. "The game yesterday (with the United States is very interesting, I first) at the back of the Chinese media reported that all you say we have a more in, but I think our team in the former two spell very tough, and also won the fourth quarter. But in the third quarter, I spent five children (fivebabies) on the court, but not the Chinese media attention to it, but I put a 19-year-old YuShu (dragon) and a 17 year old (GuoYiLun) children while playing on the court," said, "that DengHua game is actually a similar to the team composed by college students by the NBA star against a team composed of Chinese media, but you didn't mention this to yesterday. The players on the pitch, I could not feel more proud, they have been fighting on the pitch." Say that finish, DengHua DE touched my head, then continue, naturally, evaluation of his subject to the controversial refereeing. "The first part of the match we can defend slower pace appears some in the third quarter, but we found state, also once lead very close DengHua," said, "I think the game on the DingJinHui decision was a turning point, it is his fifth foul (out), with the decisions of the momentum after, we seem to have no." DengHua DE right. The third quarter when the team played spurt of several times, DingJinHui offensive impressive, he even staged "steal -- -- -- fast-break dunk" dragon type, the team morale goals. The bench is DengHua DE jumped, waving hands encourage pupils. But the fourth quarter before long, DingJinHui will receive individual fifth foul, but due to the referee did not timely discovery, stopwatch also run for a few seconds. See, the disciple was sent off DengHua DE quit, he ran to the other side, while holding the final explanation, as did not translate. Losing confidence in four games still After the defeat DengHua world group opponents, no show no pessimism, on the contrary, he saw the positive things. "The world championships and Puerto Rico, so we can group to Turkey in a warm-up before them, and for us, it is a good exercise. And I also know that they are on the team. We can go to the team, should try to win, they said, we have the opportunity DengHua," said, "they are a very strong team, especially in today's game, their defender completely controlled the game, two defenders were got surprising 19 assists (Barry and 10 times, arroyo 9 times), fully activate the team's attacking team. We are trying to put the whole evening they fall speed, but the effect is not obvious. That he is ready to put down the speed of each other? In the DengHua motionoffense (attack) system, smooth the defender is particularly important, offensive air, liu wei in England now enjoy unlimited power, he had opened the game in Canada and put a team-high 19 points. Want to let each other down, liu wei should focus more on defense? And so, yue Puerto Rico, his defense is greater than attacking role? GuoYiLun, YuShu dragon Chanel jewelry these young players should how to use? These are placed in front of DengHua DE. "They really let our guard, and our own miserable little cringed, also become the striker will seize the opportunity and they sent out the defender has cast into a ball. If the defender to us, they can post rampaged through today, they would do, then we will overtake score is really difficult," said, "DengHua next and they play, we must do better, and must bring the two defenders control, control their breakthrough." Conference last, American journalist please DengHua DE compare the difference between China and the media is to open China's media: "very interested in England, which I like very much, they like to write stories, like stars team spying. Unfortunately, sometimes they can't see, don't know what is the scene, so coverage will not too real."
