1. Miresa has not learned (and will not learn) anything overnight--it took her a lot of blood sweat, and tears to learn how to wield a sword, and she is still learning (albeit somewhat slowly) how to wield magic.
2. Shokiyan kids that wield swords usually start with wielding daggers before moving to swords--Miresa did this too--making the switch to a sword at age ten (she is thirteen when the story begins.)
3. Miresa is definitely not a know it all at every subject--music, history, writing and swordfighting are her best ones, while magic and math are her worst.
4. The High Mage is not a Gandalf-type--he wants all his students to succeed, even if that means giving them tough love.
5. Miresa does have a rival in Halliwen, but not every student is a bully or groupie.
6. I will try to come up with a reasonable about of time for skills to be learned.
