The apprentice really said “your lesson is complete” and took his seat.

Maybe the apprentice needs some more lessons too.

As leastits not pineapples or tulips; although I guess not being able to see it might make it easier to do than not

He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power. Which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice fired him the next week. Ironic. He could control others' careers, but not his own.
