Charm School

Ben 10: Omniverse Season 7 - Episode 3

Setting: Friedkin University

[ Indistinct Conversations ]

Random Student: I heard his class is full for the next five years

Random Student: I heard even the waiting list has a waiting list.

Helena Xagliv: As always, we will do our best to accommodate as many of you as possible. But the fire marshal will enforce a cut-off point at maximum capacity.

[ Students Murmuring ]

[ Cheers and Applause ]

Together: [ Cheering ]

Hex: Welcome once again, all you eager young minds, to history 310 -- Magical Artifacts and Antiquities!

[ Cheers and Applause ]

Hex: Allow me to introduce myself. I am Professor Hex. If you excel with me, you will unlock the hidden secrets of the Eldritch Arts. As well as earn one general-education credit. Of course, some of us have more of a head start than others. Welcome to the Big Leagues, Miss Tennyson.

Gwendolyn Tennyson: [ Laughs nervously ]

Hex: Gwendolyn Tennyson.

Gwendolyn Tennyson: The stone of Giramphiel!

Hex: Gwendolyn Tennyson.

Gwendolyn Tennyson: The Mesopotamian tablet of destiny.

Hex: Gwendolyn Tennyson.

Gwendolyn Tennyson: Um, um... King Ramses III.

Hex: Very good, Miss Tennyson. But can you tell me which piece of Medieval Jewelry is known to cure blindness?

Charmcaster: The ring of Mudarra

Gwendolyn Tennyson: Charmcaster?

Hex: [ Clears Throat ] Yes. The charming new student is correct.

Charmcaster: I have a question for you... professor. [ Giggles ] What is the most powerful focusing Talisman ever set among the nine realms? Oh, come on. As if you don't know [ Chuckles ] The Staff of Ages. Ring a bell?

Hex: Class dismissed.

Gwendolyn Tennyson: Charmcaster, wait! I-I-I just want to talk.

Rook Blonko: For the last time, Suemungousaur, you are 17 feet tall. You make a terrible shoplifter

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Ben Tennyson: Gwen! Hey, how are y-- [ Sighs ] Fine. "Gwendolyn." Happy now? Don't move. We'll be right there

Rook Blonko: We will? What about Suemungousaur?

Ben Tennyson: We've got bigger fish to fry.

Rook Blonko: This hardly seems like a good time to meet Gwendolyn for a meal.

Ben Tennyson: It's just an expression, Rook. No fish, no frying.

Rook Blonko: Who made up your language?

Kevin Levin: Are you sure it was Charmcaster?

Gwendolyn Tennyson: Am I -- [ Scoffs ] Of course I'm sure! What kind of question is that?! I-I-I think I know Charmcaster when I see her.

Kevin Levin: A lot of kids try out different looks when they go away to college.

Gwendolyn Tennyson: Ha Ha.

Kevin Levin: I'm just sayin'.

Gwendolyn Tennyson: Fine. Then don't believe me. Ben and Rook are on their way here, anyway.

Kevin Levin: Aaaaand I'm done. It's just gonna get trashed when Ben gets here.

Rook Blonko: Why would Charmcaster come to this university, of all places? There is nothing connecting her here that I know of.

Ben Tennyson: Except Gwen.

Gwendolyn Tennyson: Yeah, about that...

Students: There he is! [ Screams ] I love you!

[ Indistinct Talking ]

Helena Xagliv: Hey! Disperse! This is a place of learning, not a malt shop. Go!

Hex: [ Sighs ] Thank you, Helena.

Helena Xagliv: Such a Tomfoolery. Little girls and their crushes. What you need is brains, not youth. A mature woman has its advantages. [ Chuckles ] Say, Tea, tonight, my office?

Hex: [ Shudders ] Oh... look. -- One of my students.

Ben Tennyson: Gwen! Look out! Hex! (Ben transforms into Kickin Hawk)

Gwendolyn Tennyson: Ben, no! It's not what you think! Professor Hex is the best history of magical artifacts and antiquities teacher we've ever had.

Kickin Hawk: "Professor Hex"?

Rook Blonko: Gwendolyn, with due respect, you and the student body are obviously under the influence of Hex's spell.

Gwendolyn Tennyson: A little credit. I checked for that. Full sweep of the campus. See? No sign of any spell, mind control of otherwise. Now do you believe me?

Kickin Hawk: Or Hex is just magically making you think there's no spell.

Kevin Levin: [ Scoffs ] Come on. Gwendolyn would never fall for the old "I used to be bad, but now I'm good" routine. What?

[ Omnitrix powers down ]

Ben Tennyson: All right. So, I may not know what you're up to, but you're up to... something. Admit it!

Gwendolyn Tennyson: Ben! You're being rude!

Hex: That's all right, Gwendolyn. There will always be people who don't like to give second chances. I had to donate my entire collection of rare books to the university to even be considered for this job. Never get a tattoo on your face, children. It severely limits your career choices. By the way, an excellent job in class today, Gwendolyn -- as always.

Gwendolyn Tennyson: [ Chuckles Nervously ] Thank you, Professor. But what was Charmcaster doing here?

Hex: I have no idea. I hadn't seen or heard from my wayward niece in a very long time before today. I'm just relieved to know she's alive.

Rook Blonko: Mr. Hex, it is my unfortunate duty to inform you that your niece is both unstable and very dangerous.

Hex: Unstable? In what way?

Ben Tennyson: [ As Charmcaster ] What's that, magic talking bag? You think I should try to kill Ben and Rook, even after they helped me get my rune back? Okay!

Rook Blonko: Ben is correct. To put it gently, she was a few Amber Ogia Bushels short of a properly sized harvest.

Hex: [ Sighs ] I was afraid of that. Charmcaster always had a tough life, but she was family, and I believe there is good in her... somewhere. If you'll excuse me, Gwendolyn, today has left me quite fatigued.
