[ WP ] A kid doodling in a math class accidentally creates the world 's first functional magic circle in centuries .

Everyone stood and stared at the minotaur in the centre of the room, holding a towel at it's waist. 
 
 `` Well this is awkward'' said the minotaur 
 
 `` Uhm…ah…i…uh…ah'' the teacher tried to form words, failing each time. 
 
 `` Oh, sorry'' said the minotaur, wrapping the towel all the way around `` So…uh, math, that's... that's good. It's good to get an education'' 
 
 The class kept staring except for who Max looked down at the piece of paper on his desk. 
 
 `` Look, if you're going to scream could you just get it out of the way now?'' said the minotaur 
 
 `` I…I do n't think anyone's going to scream it's just…well this is new to us'' said the teacher 
 
 `` Tell me about it. I mean I had the in front of your class while naked nightmares, but I always assumed…'' 
 
 `` That it would be your class'' said the teacher, who then looked surprised they had just finished the minotaur's sentence 
 
 `` Yeah. I mean you think you're shocked but at least you're still in your world. And also dressed'' 
 
 `` Uh…Mr…uhm…Minotaur'' said Max 
 
 `` Yes Mr. Human?'' 
 
 `` I get it'' said a random student 
 
 `` I…uhm…do n't quote me on this but I think you came out of my piece of paper'' 
 
 `` Huh?'' 
 
 `` Well I was doodling-'' 
 
 `` In class'' said the teacher `` Sorry'' 
 
 `` And then the doodles started glowing and the lights started flashing and there was a puff of smoke and then…uh you showed up'' 
 
 `` Let me see. Huh…yea…uh…yup. Yeah, no this would do it. Where did you learn these symbols?'' 
 
 `` I was just doodling'' 
 
 `` Well I guess with all the students in all the math classes that are doodling eventually something like this would happen. That's a little math for you'' said the minotaur, looking around `` chance. Anyway yeah, could I use your…'' 
 
 Max handed him his pencil which snapped as soon as he closed his hand. 
 
 `` Oh shit sorry sorry. Do n't swear kids does anyone have…thank you'' 
 
 He took the offered pencil in two fingers and crudely drew on Max's piece of paper. A portal opened. 
 
 `` Well I hope you've all learned a very important lesson about paying attention and not doodling in class. And also that there's multiple worlds and that magic is real. Oh…crap. I left the water running. That's just wasteful and I'm going to get hammered on the hydro bill. Do n't worry…human'' 
 
 `` Max'' 
 
 `` Max pleased to meet you. You did n't know, but just to be safe I think I might take this piece of paper. With your permission'' 
 
 `` Uh ok'' 
 
 `` Believe me there are things that would do some pretty nasty…stuff, for this piece of paper. Well anyway, goodbye'' 
 
 The minotaur stepped through the portal, it stayed for a second and then disappeared. Everyone turned to the teacher. 
 
 `` Uh…class dismissed''
