Summary

In the spring, Ged continues with his studies while Vetch and Jasper, who are now sorcerers, are in the Immanet Grove studying with Master Patterner. Ged continues to learn quickly and rumors go around the school that the master thinks he is the quickest students ever to attend the school. With Vetch gone, Ged mostly keeps to himself and his studies.
