Finding the teacher isn't hard, since despite him saying that you should 'figure it out yourself, suckers', he's still giving advice to the students all over the campus. You signal that you'd like to talk to him, and he creates a clone of himself to talk to you so he can keep helping the other student, something he can apparently do pretty casually. You did forget that despite his jovial attitude, he's good enough to do something like that without breaking a sweat.
"Hello young one! Please don't ask any questions about the existential nature of a clone, just treat me like I'm an Anbee! What's your question?"
"Uh, I was wondering if....uh..."
Shit, what was it? It was something really important? Something about the assignment? Which was to-
"Table!" You exclaim
"Yes," Table answers from behind you. "That's my name."
Despite the sarcastic tone, you can tell she appreciates you remembered it by yourself.
"Yes, I need a spell to remember her better, otherwise it's going to be really hard to practice with her."
The teacher has a thoughtful, serious look on his face, something you're not used to seeing. Then again, you haven't known him that long.
"Yes, that'd be an issue, wouldn't it? I don't actually use a spell myself, I'm just used to go to uninviting places that require a good memory. I don't think I can throw you into the realm of madness under the pretext of building character, so we'll have to find another solution. It's a hard problem to solve, but I know someone from the job."
He waves his hand, and a portal opens above him and drops a tall wraith woman from the sky. Literally from the sky, you're pretty sure it was a 30 feet drop.
"Ninaaaa, we need your expertise!"
Surprisingly, the woman doesn't look that bothered by the fall. "I juszt nneeed a fewmore mm-minewt?" She slurs, you're not sure if she's tired or drunk, maybe she's both? Can wraiths get drunk? Can they get tired? You're not asking Ivy that's for sure.
The summoning teacher summons a bunch of water on her. After what feels like hours of floods, the woman finally gets up and closes the portal herself. She still looks tired, but at least she's awake now.
"You're...insufferable...little one," she looks back to the two of you. "It's this present, isn't it? Aaaah, why is free will a thing, makes divination so hard. Whatever, just..." She touches your forehead with her finger, and pushes until you almost fall over, then lets go. "Spell won't last long, and it's not foolproof. It's just a simple clarity spell, one that your other teacher can cast just fine, may I add."
