When the members of his group for a class project express concern that Sebek will not be able to use a specialty spell for their group assignment Sebek responds, “I spend my days practicing a vast breadth of spells!,” and his reasoning for not wanting to make friends with the other first-year students is that he already has more than enough training partners between Silver and their fellow Diasomnia students.
During Book 7, however, Sebek comments that his “lack of real-world experience is painfully apparent.”
Sebek says that a training exercise in his practical magic class is “intriguing,” as he would have struggled in a simply test of magical prowess but he has “AMPLE experience fighting people” and the target of the task was to attack a dummy that was designed to mimic a person.
Deuce says that Sebek was possible the only one to destroy it in one hit.
The Harveston event is a busy time for Sebek: he chops a month’s wood of firewood for the assembly hall and then volunteers to chop more for Epel’s family. A villager asks him to see to their woodpile as well and he concedes (“I see the humans in Harveston are woefully out of shape”).
After chopping wood at a fifth house Sebek says that he has chopped all the wood in the neighborhood but he still has energy to burn, and ends up taking a crate of apples to the local market (“It never ceases to amaze me how you find such basic tasks difficult…”)
Back at Diasomnia Sebek reflects, “I suppose l’d go back if Epel invited me again. SOMEONE has to chop wood and help out in the orchards.”
Sebek also mentions clearing snow at the school being great training.
During Port Fest he drags his food stall’s candy machine to Idia so that he can repair it.
According to Jade, Sebek has expressed interest in testing himself against the son of a god known for their superhuman strength.
