Kano turned from Kain the moment the scream came out and practically exploded into motion, his physical form incapable of maintaining appearance during the sheer force of his movement. From a seemingly fleshy appearance the headmasters lower body turned to a tidal wave as he flew across the open field to his screaming student. Both of the markings on his arms flared like the sun, even turning a deep yellow, as Kano firmly placed both his hands on Markus and began a process of not just absorbing the lightning, but breaking it down into a simpler energy form to be further accumulated into his body. The process was precise and fast as the lightning threatened to destroy both of them, but years of experience always made the difference. 

Over the course of a few minutes the sputtering display of lightning turned to a dull jump of static electricity over Marcus' body. The output of power made it almost a light tickle. Both arms ablaze with power, Kano turned to stare at Eria from across the grounds as he put on yet another trick of Aether magic. Absorbing energy into the body and changing it was good to learn. Another was to absorb energy and send it back out. 

Kano took caution and moved a dozen feet away from the boy before he let his grip of the energy go.

The resulting thunderclap was deafening as a focused bolt of concentrated electricity momentarily blinded the area before the electricity was gone harmlessly into the sky, dissipating every inch it took away from its source of origin. Unhurt, and ultimately unphased, Kano turned about and returned to Markus. Picking him up and moving him closer to Kain, he set him down on a sheet of ice, doing the same for Kain.

"Rest for now. When the pain is gone, please exercise caution in getting up. Your muscles might have tensed up a bit and I do not desire another injury."

His tone was soft and affectionate, similar to a father addressing his children. For Kano it was almost exactly that. Every generation of students that entered the academy were his children, to mold and teach, to help grow. For a brief moment he felt the memory of his wife flitter through his mind but shut it out. Now wasn't the time.
Kano nodded and stood up, returning to Eria.

[color=004b80]"You are doing excellent. Even sand is an accomplishment, my dear. With the wind, try to aim for a desired effect. Picture it in your mind and try to mold it with your hands. When you have the desired effect, release the energy or directing it at something to start."

Kano waved his hand to form a tall thin sheet of ice as a target. Another flick of his hand had the waters in the pool with young Luke further its thrashing.

Another late student? Do they think we are so lax that we will allow every last student to show up thinking they need not fear the rules. Kano hid his sudden, if minor, irritation, and turned to stand in front of young Chen.

"I find my generosity to those I care for has been taken advantage of today. Chen, my boy, do you think so poorly of me that you believe yourself above my request to be on time on the first day." Kano put his hand up to stop the reply. "Of course you don't. Fear not, you are the third to be late today but at least you bothered to show up."

Kano didn't need to mention the Darkness students who were nowhere to be seen. Every moment they did not arrive only made the punishment so much worse. At the moment he figured they would be forced to dig holes in the hot sun for the rest of the day. Maybe well into the night, if they took any longer. Brushing off the thought for later he returned attention back to Chen.

[color=0072bc]"For now, it will be standard control. You can't use water but you can still feel it. Without learning your base element I fear you may not gain the mastery I desire to instill in you. That being said, strip to your underwear and get in the pool. Try to calm the waters in your own way..."[/color] Kano stuck his hand into his lightless hood and presumably scratched his chin before changing his mind. [color=0072bc]"Actually, no. You'll probably just freeze the water with Luke in it and cause me more trouble. Keep your pants on and see if you can do something for the boys over there. I know you can use ice so lets see how far you can go with your powers. I want you to work on the creation aspect. I want to see a detailed house made of ice by the end of our session here. Without using the pool behind us."[/color]

The challenge here was finding a way to get enough ice to even begin forming the absurd request, considering the fact that the bright sun in the sky had cooked what little water energy there was available so it would likely fall to the reserve of power Chen had in him at the moment.
