His role as Headmaster was absolute so he could mete out punishment or reward as he saw fit but at times like these, even after a thousand lifetimes worth of dealing with students, he never really knew the exact answer that should fit the scenario. Every case was unique to the individuals involved and it seemed like he would in fact need to dispense a very mundane bit of discipline but on the lighter spectrum of things. It was only when he had begun to speak his peace on the subject that he had been interrupted by his student, Luke, entering the facility. The boy showed great talent to have bested the challenge of the water dragon in such a short time, even with a teammate he had rarely seen a student overcome the challenge in such a small window. The boy had wasted no effort to overcome his adversary. Ambitious and good fortuned seemed to define this crowning achievement. Though Kano inwardly wondered if his momentary anger had distracted him and thus weakened the dragon. The headmaster banished the thought as quickly as it had come, refusing to doubt his own prowess or diminish the achievement of his student. [color=0072bc]"Not so fast, Mr.Thames."[/color] Kano caught him as the boy tried to shyly leave the room. [color=0072bc]"Congratulations are in order for your fine demonstration. If you would, please, attend me for a moment." [/color] The boy had excellent timing. The girls were looking for the dorms, and Luke was likely returning to his own room anyways. That just left the matter of what to do with these two. [color=0072bc]"Miss Averill, you are excused from any formal punishment regarding the intrusion into my inner office. But any other issues that arise in the future will carry extra weight from the warning today. You may leave."[/color] Kano turned to address Luke. [color=0072bc]"Mr.Thames, if you please. She was lost and could not find the dormitory. Please escort her on my behalf. Afternoon classes are not in session today, so enjoy your time to relax."[/color] He left unsaid that there would still be a challenge for the water students in the next few days. Changing his sights to that of young Yoshino Hirasawa, he spoke with a more stern tone. [color=0072bc]"Miss Hirasawa, while I accept your curiosity as harmless, you will still be serving a minimum disciplinary punishment."[/color] There was a sinister feel to his aura as the idea suddenly came to him. An answer to his problems, and perhaps an opportunity for the girl as well, to settle both their troubles. [color=0072bc]"For the next month I will ask that you assist me in my work here in the offices. There is a great deal of paperwork piling up and some issues about the school on the regular, and it would be of great help to have someone to run letters for me. Will you assist me?"[/color]
