Wizard Cadet (Intergalactic Wizard Scout Chronicles, #2)

by Rodney W. Hartman

He had an above average intelligence,

No, he doesn't .

“Power, Nick?” “Eighty-seven percent,”

Why doesn't his HUD have a read out?

“You have a whopping four point six percent Power left in your reserve,” said Nickelo. “Don’t waste it.” Richard didn’t know what a ‘whopping’ was, but he assumed the word meant small.

Richard, with his "above average" IQ, is completely oblivious to sarcasm.

His clear mental deficiency is getting real annoying.
