As expected, the overload of sheer energy almost overtook him within mere moments. Most students dipped a toe in the pond and panicked, refusing to enter. The first mistake. Luke had disregarded that caution and placed full trust that his tasks would be safe or that he could find a way to stay safe, passing the first hurdle. Amused at the conflicting emotions playing across the boys face, Kano watched his struggle for not just control but balance. Not long after entering the pool the boy was already matching his own body to the subtle flow of the waters. [color=0072bc]"You have skill. Most students are hesitant to stay in the waters after tasting it. Very impressive display." [/color] Kanos raised his right hand and casually pointed his finger at the pool and felt his own connection with the pool. Kanos finger flicked from side to side and the waters responded in kind by throwing themselves wildly in every direction. Worst of all, the temperature took a slide into almost freezing temperatures. Even as he spoke, the waters continued to churn violently, tossing its occupants in every direction like ragdolls with waves that threatened to submerge them entirely. Keeping your head above water as it thrashed was a challenge it itself. [color=0072bc]"Find a way to regain your balance and control. Soothe the waters."[/color] Controlling your own energies in the midst of a greater flow was often difficult at times. Faced with overwhelming difference in power, the waters could turn into a raging hell of its own. The first test displayed control in tranquility with still waters. If Luke wished to overcome the hurdle it would need a.. deeper connection. Flowing with the water didn't just mean letting the waters do as it pleases. Subtle guidance granted the best results. To soothe the waters would take time. [color=0072bc]"Try to hold your breathe."[/color] Was the only hint Kano gave as he walked away from the pools to check up on the lightning students. ----------------------------- [@Dark Light][@Jangel13] Kano slid across the dry field on a platform of ice, flowing at his command until he reached the distant students spitting electricity with every step. As he caught up, one of the students faltered and fell onto the ground. Kano raised his left arm and a cold patch of water flowed onto the boys leg with a soothing relief. [color=0072bc]"Do not give up. You can fall a hundred times and still win the race. Adjust your output and try again." [/color] The water flowed back into Kano who simply smiled and urged the student on. The longer they ran, the better. If they fell, he would pick them back up.
