Vera cocked her head at the teacher's mischievous smirk, foreseeing that her answer to Lyra's question wasn't going to be simple. Sure enough, it seemed rather vague to the Light Elementalist, implying that there wasn't a fixed, step-by-step guide for Wind Elementalists on how to fly. So it was something quite special for them, and apparently so was Lyra's potential sound ability.

"Ms. Catherine Hargreaves," Vera repeated with a light smile after the graceful woman introduced herself. "It's a pleasure."

She then turned to Lyra. "Yes, it's you doing that, love. You should really check out this sound gift of yours, it'll probably be really interesting."

Vera was curious about the different areas that Light Elementalists could possibly specialize in. She could produce white beams of light from her fingers, but they always came out as short bursts, flickering excessively and somewhat irregularly. They were also really bright. Perhaps her gift was causing temporary blindness. Hilarious.

Vera addressed Catherine again. "Oh, would you happen to know anything about the light element? Or is there anywhere I can go to get some help on that?"

"All the best, kiddo..." Xavier trailed off as the girl left. Ah well, she'll be fine.

He strolled off in the opposite direction, finding the first day to be rather uneventful, or perhaps he simply wasn't where the excitement was. He only passed by three teenagers talking along the corridor. One of them was coughing, but he just took a second glance and then decided that the boy would be alright. He then spotted one of his colleagues going into the restroom further down. Manilow... wasn't he the one who was stuck with giving that welcome speech this year? That would be interesting. After all, the guy was pretty good at umm... motivating the students. Maybe he'd go back to his office for now and do some lesson preparation, or take a short power nap.

Zafiriel

As the smog unveiled the now ashen-tinted hallway, Firiel saw Silas crouching on the floor, couching and spitting the vapour out of his lungs. For reason or another, Firiel’s lungs did not protest the unhealthy chemicals entering her intestines. At the sight of her new friend turning as pale as a young birch tree’s trunk, all signs of emotion escaped from her face.

”Broken? Not a chance, at least not yet. Alright? That depends on what you see as alright, you see I did just get shot in the face at close range by a wave of smoke and fire.” – ”Okay, hopefully that was the last of it. But seriously, I'm alright.”

Silas spoke in an edgy tone, that of matching his fiery look. The edge cut its way through to Zafiriel’s conscience. As she had stood there, mortified, unable to move, she now felt a prickly sting poke her brains. Her usually pale cheeks turned to a beautiful rosy hue. She almost considered running away from the situation. But as Silas turned to look at her, the edginess was gone. Zafiriel couldn’t stand to look at him after what she had done. He may still be displeased at her. Why was he still here? Why did he not lash out at her?

Feeling defeated, Firiel slouched down beside him, resting her head on the rough wall behind her. She threw a quick glance at Silas. He hadn't noticed he had some ash stuck on his nosetip. Firiel felt a sudden urge to swipe it away. Just as she was about to do that, a female voice echoed in the emptied hallway.

”What in the...”

A sudden burst of wind threw Firiel’s short hair backwards, making her look like a badly trimmed poodle. If she was surprised, it didn’t show on her face. She just watched nonchalantly as the girl in question approached them, looking extremely worried.

”You two alright over there?!”

Unconsciously, Firiel secured her hands around her mother’s pocketwatch in her pocket. She felt guilt sting her again, making her hug her knees tightly. When the girl reached them, she saw something she would rather not have seen. Her face turned bright red with a puff of steam erupting from the top of her head.

The girl’s skirt was somewhat windblown, exposing her panties. Firiel buried her face in Silas’s shoulder, hiding from the unchaste sight. She didn’t realise she was sitting awfully close to him, nudging her face behind him to hide herself from the girl and the whole world.

Zeke put his camera's strap around his neck, grabbed Icy and Yellow's hands and started pulling them forward. "You don't think, Icy, you just go," he smiled at them, and stayed right where he was. He wasn't strong enough to move them. At least, not Yellow.

"You're supposed to start walking," he explained, going around to Yellow's back and pushing. "If you start walking, you'll end up somewhere different. And in different places, you find different things, and different things are what we're looking for." He huffed. Walking back ahead of everyone, he folded his arms. "Let's go."

Silas Asara

Once the last of the oppressive ash had left his airway, Silas sat back up against the wall of the corridor, which was now coated in a fine layer of soot. Even if it was... quite bad for your lungs, he had to admit that the appearance of the settled ash muting the colours in the hallway was pretty friggin' cool. Unfortunately, Zafi was once more back to her stoic self, and his own conscience was busy berating him Maybe you shouldn't have been such a jackass when she asked if you were alright!

"Alright, enough with the hopeless look. Didn't I just say that I was alright?!"

His words may have fallen on deaf ears though, as Zafi's piercing gaze seemed to shoot straight past Silas. A thought from earlier welled up in Silas's head returning with new curiosity, Did she do this on purpose? I don't think so but... there's always a chance... If Silas left this question to fester in his head it would likely bother him for at least a few days, so he decided to be curious no longer.

" Look Zafi, you didn't MEAN to cause... this, right? I mean if it was an accident we're co- "

Without warning, the door just across the hall shot open and the girl from earlier, stood at the new threshold. A squall emitted from her position, knocking the ash and smoke away from a small area, in a few moments the smoke had been scattered. Silas's hair, already being short and quite messy wasn't affected too badly by the winds so that was a nice gift from fate, albeit a small one.

In the carnage, somehow Zafi had ended up closer to Silas than he remembered, stranger yet was their positioning. Her head was hidden behind Silas himself as if he was shielding her from some unspeakable horror, and how exactly did they get this close? Not that Silas was opposed to it... The other girl had also blundered, in the fact that while she was getting rid of the smoke, Silas ended up getting a rather close up shot of her panties.

Unable to stop himself, Silas face grew quite a bit pinker as he involuntarily blushed. It was not clear when Silas had started blushing, or what caused it, but it is a safe assumption that both girls had an impact. A quick question from the other girl brought Silas back to reality.

"You two alright over there?"

...Or at least it would have if Silas wasn't completely stunned by what had just happened. After a few painstakingly long seconds Silas shook off the stun and finally gave an answer.

"Um Y-yeah we're fine, thanks for coming along when you did."

@Aiyanna@Hammerman

Dia moved forward with a smile. That weird confidence was back. Where did it help coming from?

"You're right, Zeke," she said in that soft way she seemed to always speak in. "Thank you for that."

Dia came between the two boys, reaching out and grabbing both of their hands. "Let's see where these feet take us?"

She squeezed their hands, hoping her cold wasn't bothering them. Almost without realizing it, she started humming a tune her mother had always sang.

This is.... Nice. she decided.

Kanako had no idea that the pair had just gazed upon what shouldn't be gazed. And thank the spirits for that as she would probably turn red and get angry all over again, even though this time it's totally her own fault. She would be fine with a girl looking them up as she was no stranger in nudity among other females thanks to the changing rooms she had to utilize every time there was a gym class in her old school but a boy was another matter entirely. If she had known that at her old school the boys liked to peep on the girls changing from a small hole on a wall that none of the girls knew about, well, let's just say there would be a storm coming their way.

When she got close to the two, she noticed the girl burying her face on the boy's shoulder, with steam coming out from the top of her head. Wait, steam? That looked like something that came out of an anime, but it was very much real. Could it be that it was a case of her elementalist ability activating on its own? So the girl would be what, fire elementalist?

"Um Y-yeah we're fine, thanks for coming along when you did." the boy said to her awkwardly. Kanako also noticed that the boy was blushing a bit as well.

What is up with these two, she thought.

"Yeah, I'm lucky I was born a wind elementalist so I could just blow all that smoke away with my power," she answered. "Though it seems it wasn't a fire that caused it, as I didn't see any smoke coming out from anywhere else."

Kanako then looked back at the girl who was still puffing steam out of her. Putting two and two together, she finally had an idea on what just happened.

"Uh, were you the one that made all that smoke, miss?" she asked her. "Was she the one who did it?" she also asked the boy. "I-it's alright, I won't be mad. Just asking, that's all. I can't control my power fully either. You should be able to feel a small breeze of wind circling around me right now." Like before, her hair was gently swaying around even without a wind blowing. The hem of her skirt as well and once again Kanako thoughtlessly stood in front of them, exposing her panties once more thanks to the fact that the two was sitting.

Emi

Location
Central square

First school day, the assembly every students had waited for the past couple of months had ended resulting in an activity free day for all of the students. The could each do what they wanted to do to their own free will. Most students would go off to do some exploring or go into the city for some food or either more exploring yet, our blonde light elementalist Emi had different plans. She had arrived a day earlier than the others for her own safety. It had to do with her sleeping disability, if her train broke down or she was lost and could not find a place to sleep before she actually fell asleep very scary things could happen to her, like getting robbed or worse. But clearly nothing happened so she had some free time to spare alone on the school grounds. Flabbergastedly she had already entered some of the teachers offices and lazed around in them asking silly questions to the teachers preparing for the new school year. Most of them didn't seem to mind though, there were more students with quirks like that so they had gotten very used to this kind of happening.

Emi stretched out her body moving her upper body from side to side. The sun was nice again today, her body was warming up nicely. She unbuttoned the second button of her white sleeveless blouse. Furthermore her other clothes consisted off denim shorts and some white sneakers with short socks. Emi was mostly wearing short clothes like this, during midday she would easily sweat if she had too much clothes on. She silently moved away from the assembly happening off towards a somewhat quieter place. It was a big academy so it had plenty of space to share anyway. After a short five minute walk she ended up at a big outdoor area. It seemed to be like the central area of the school, there was a big fountain and large patches of grass surrounding with some students already trying to train their abilities with others. Emi silently sat down at the edge of the fountain looking out over one of the grassfields and some pathways leading to other facilities and places. Light drips of water hit her back from time to time giving a relieving feeling of coolness in this overly hot weather. Emi sat her time away having fun seeing the others enjoy themselves too while her skin got plenty of sunlight.

Zafiriel

Firiel winced at Silas’s sudden outburst, drawing her knees closer to her chest. She had not meant to erupt like that. She had little idea why it had happened. It may have been due to all the feelings she had locked up in her heart. After she had left her Grandfather’s villa in Paris, all sorts of thoughts had drifted in her mind. Guilt, shame, fear. She had not wanted to let them out. It would have made traveling alone all the worse.

Seeing the headmaster’s ghastly wound had stirred something in her heart. Tears had started to flow before she had realised it. All the feelings locked up suddenly demanded getting out, being expressed. Although she had not noticed it, they were still there. As she had tried to force the fire out of her fingertips, the lock on the gates of her heart had broken. She had momentarily forgotten about her pain chatting with Silas.

Now that the feelings had quite literally exploded out, Zafiriel felt oddly calm. Maybe it was the presence of other people. She took in a few deep breaths and let them out as a continuous stream. As she calmed down, the colour of her face returned back to what it had been, almost as pale as marble. You could still see a hint of rosy tint on her cheeks.

”Um Y-yeah we're fine, thanks for coming along when you did.”

Silas’s words drew Firiel back to reality. Suddenly she became aware of how close she was to him. She could almost feel his breath on her neck. As the other girl started to speak, she quickly perked her head up to look straight forward trying to prevent that damned blush from creeping back on her face.

”Yeah, I'm lucky I was born a wind elementalist so I could just blow all that smoke away with my power,” said the girl. ”Though it seems it wasn't a fire that caused it, as I didn't see any smoke coming out from anywhere else.”

Firiel felt her gaze burn her forehead. ”Uh, were you the one that made all that smoke, miss?” - ”Was she the one who did it?”

”I-it's alright, I won't be mad. Just asking, that's all. I can't control my power fully either. You should be able to feel a small breeze of wind circling around me right now.”

There was something about the girl that made Firiel feel at ease. Maybe it was because she seemed to be as nervous as Firiel herself was. As the girl mentioned the smoke accident, Firiel had a good first look at the barren hallway.

The walls, before so vibrant in colour, were now coated under a thick layer of soot. The windows were patched with ash, letting occasional flashs of light escape through themselves. It was like a whole different place. Firiel could see the darkness she had dwelled in all around her. It was almost fascinating. However, she felt extremely guilty that she had drawn Silas in the fog of her heart for a moment. Firiel threw a quick glance at the boy sitting beside her. She was relieved to see him breath with ease now that the ash had settled.

Firiel brought her attention back to the girl still awaiting answer. Not wanting to cause Silas more trouble, she firmly decided to answer the girl herself. She locked eyecontact with Kanako, and, moments after, opened her mouth.

”I was broken. It was me – ”

She stopped for a moment to find the right words in English. It took her awkwardly long to finish her sentence. She could feel both of the other teens stare at her in anticipation. The girl was shifting her gaze between Firiel and Silas, as if contemplating what was going on between them. Firiel broke the awkward silence.

”Pardonnez-moi. I did not do it. I did it. C'était un accident.”

When she raised her gaze, she saw another close-up on the girl’s panties.

”Mon Dieu!”

She was so shocked at the view that she lost hold of the arm that she had balanced her weight on, causing her to drop her upper body in Silas's lap. All too soon, she found herself staring up at a pair of golden eyes. Quickly, she tried to get up, only to end up crashing down again. A giant puff of steam threw itself on Silas’s face as her face exploded to a bright crimson colour yet again.

@CriticalHit @Hammerman Cringy af but hey, got it done..

[Stern Algorithm]

It took her a second before she could hone back to the real world. She glanced at her new friend, who was still waiting patiently. "Oh, right! I'm Lyra, and this is Vera. We're, umm, my friend and I are thinking of exploring the academy. Do you know of any interesting place, err, Ms. Hargreaves?"

@Pseudo Stygian

Vera addressed Catherine again. "Oh, would you happen to know anything about the light element? Or is there anywhere I can go to get some help on that?"

@Raptra

"It's a pleasure to have you both at this academy," Catherine said, glad to see the look of wonder and curiosity in their eyes. "There are many natural biomes to explore around the campus, from forests to cliffs to lakes, even tunnels, active lava zones, and hot springs. While air elementalists tend to prefer places with some altitude to practice their art, it is only your first day here, and nobody is expected to start training before having had any instruction. Personally, I like visiting the hot springs after a long journey; it does wonders for the skin and will keep you young and healthy." Turning to Vera, "Light is a fascinating element. You might want to seek out Mr. R. Hellor, our resident, venerable lord of light. Although, I've personally found that understanding the scientific principles behind an element can help a student grasp the concepts of elemental manipulation in innovative ways that are sometimes better than direct mentorship. For example, both light and sound have wave properties, imagine what unique ways you two could express your gifts if you collaborated with each other?"

---

As the headmaster turned to show off his regenerative abilities to another student Jake turned to ShiZhen "Don't worry it's just the head master I heard he's not really a living person maybe he's held together by his elemental power. That would be pretty awesome and don't worry if someone tries doing anything like that to you I'll kick there ass." Then Jake heard the head master speaking and turned back around still in between ShiZhen and the head master. After the head master welcomed the students Jake bowed as well "Thank you head master your freaking awesome dude I wanna be able to spare with you one day so I guess I better get good at regenerating." Jake smiled while putting up his fist with a rock on gesture.

Then Jake turned back around to ShiZhen. "So where do you wanna go first?"

@KRAZY J

"Eehh? Not really alive?!" ShiZhen cringed, worried that she had signed up for something that was far beyond her. She didn't want to fight, she didn't want to encounter undead, she just want to get her dripping under control. In response to Jake's question, ShiZhen said, "I don't know, J, maybe someplace with some fresh air." She knew she could sure use some to get over her mounting anxiety. Then she remembered something, "J, do otters have pockets?"

@Zelosse@Lord Orgasmo@Aquanthe

[KRAZY J]

"Well we could go outside if you want, maybe explore the forest and look for a river, and otters don't have pockets normally but I'm sure they could grow one as a....wait did someone say 'otters pocket' or 'pocket otter' to you? If so you show me who because I need to have an unpleasant conversation with...." Jake started getting more and more peeved the more he thought about it until he noticed the moisture all over ShiZhen and stopped.

Then he started whispering "Your doing that thing again, drawing water from the air and covering yourself with moisture. I can't make the moisture stop but I can do this." Jake then warmed the blood in his body raising his temperature and causing him to sweat...allot... Then he spoke a little louder then his normal vocals "Hey Shi there's allot of bodies in here raising the temperature and I'm sweating all over the place even the floor let's go outside and get some fresh air." Jake then turned to the head master "I will challenge you to a duel sometime for the best way to learn is to put yourself in a position where you have to and I'm really good at adapting, but for now I must cool off so I'll catch you later Master Kano"

Silas Asara

As his composure returned to him, Silas was finally able to suppress the blush that had overtaken his face moments ago. He didn't know exactly what had caused it, but Silas did know that he wanted nobody else to know of it happening, two witnesses was already two too many. I swear, if either of these two try to use this as blackmail... He already had his short stature working against him, Silas didn't need anything kind of rumours floating around, on the first day no less!

Almost immediately after receiving her first answer the new girl decided it was time to play the dual roles of investigator and interrogator, delving into a mystery that was in truth, quite simple. Silas threw a glance over to Zafi as the new girl began her questioning.

"Uh, were you the one that made all that smoke, miss?"

The look on Zafi's face told Silas almost nothing, she seemed calm but was she really? In an instant the one of the girl's questions was aimed at Silas.

”Was she the one who did it?”

Dude, don't be that guy. You can't just sell Zafi out to some random chick. What if you had accidentally soaked the hallway? Wouldn't she keep your secret safe? His conscience questioned. Silas resolved to say nothing, if Zafi wanted to say something and risk more embarrassment, she could do it herself.

”I was broken. It was me – ”

Orrr... she could do that. Goddamnit Zafi, you just admitted to blowing up the hallway on day one!

”Pardonnez-moi. I did not do it. I did it. C'était un accident.”

What are you even saying right now? You can't just go from "I didn't do it" to "I did it" in one sentance! If it were possible to mentally facepalm Silas would have done so many times over the course of this conversation.

”Mon Dieu!”

Silas traced the gaze of the now thoroughly shocked Zafi to its rather unexpected source, the panties of the new girl were once again in full view at quite a close range. Zafi's reaction was priceless, first turning bright pink once more, then flopping her way into Silas's lap. Silas couldn't do anything but laugh his ass off at this comedy of errors. Once he had quelled his laughing fit enough to talk Silas looked up to where the new girl stood.

"Not sure if you've noticed but your panties have been showing this whole time. My advice? Invest in something a little less short. But hey, you do you."

Falling into another laughing fit due to the general hilarity of the situation, he looked down at the now crimson faced Zafi in his lap. Mustering his own willpower he stopped just long enough to ask her,

"How you doing down there?"

Kano Hargor

Kano simply smiled as the young redhaired boy expressed his joy, the Headmaster offering a token nod of acceptance to the proposal of a proper spar (Which Kano would gladly accept), and waved the boy off. The rumors Jake heard were absolutely correct on that regard. The Headmaster of the academy was not a living breathing human, but instead a powerful elemental creature. Years of meditation and bonding with the elements had allowed him to discard his flesh and blood body and become living water.
The fiery young girl billowing smoke had left a tad flustered at the sight of the 'wound' so he made a note not to be so dramatic around the poor girl. Traumatic events on someone so young would only have a negative impact on her ability to learn.
He would find her later and apologize for making her so clearly uncomfortable.

But first.. @Arya10108909

Kano turned on his heel to stare at the newest entry to the growing number of students filtering into the infirmary. One after another, drawn to noise.. The newest speaker was one Hailee Dormin. Another new student. Earth element.

"Tardiness will not be acceptable in the future." The temperature began to noticably drop again as Kano addressed the young girl sternly. "You will be receiving your dorm room number when the school day is over, so I do not expect to have this conversation with you again. Please do try to be more punctual in the future, Miss Dormin. Your education is just as important to your personal growth as your element is."

Kano idly reached out and gently patted the girls head.

"Now," Turning again to view those still left in the room, "I must be off. Good day to you all, everyone! I will see you at the ceremony tonight in the main hall. Miss Stargazer, if you would be so kind as to show them off when you're ready. Your office this may be, but it is still for the sick or injured first and foremost."

With a lighthearted wave Kano exited the room, the door closing softly behind him. Off to find more trouble most likely..

[Hammerman]

”I was broken. It was me...” the girl said.

Kanako looked at the girl. So it was indeed her, she thought. But then, she said ”Pardonnez-moi. I did not do it. I did it. C'était un accident", making her become confused even more.

"So, was it you or not? You said it's an accident so it was you but you didn't mean it? If that's the case, then I don't really mind. We're all just starting to learn--"

"Mon Dieu!”

Without any rhyme or reason, the girl suddenly lost her balance and fell into the boy's lap. She tried to get up only to fall down again. Her face soon turned red and she produced the familiar steam once again, right at the boy's face.

What is wrong with this girl, Kanako thought.

She looked at the boy and noticed his face also had turned red, though his was more of a pinkish color.

And then, he laughed.

He laughed and he laughed and he laughed, making Kanako even more confused to what's going on.

"W-what's so funny?" Kanako asked, her face flustered. She hated being the only one left out in this whole conversation.

"Not sure if you've noticed but your panties have been showing this whole time. My advice? Invest in something a little less short. But hey, you do you," the boy replied, before resuming his laugh once again.

Kanako, as you would expect. didn't take too kindly of this revelation.

She quickly pushed her skirt down with both hands as her face turned red as well. She couldn't believe this! She had flashed her undergarments twice today! First with that light-elementalist boy and now this boy!

"I-I-I-I-It's not my fault, you pervert! This skirt is an uniform from my old school so the length is totally normal! Y-y-y-you're the one looking up indecently! Y-y-y-y-y-you should know not to look up in the first place!"

Kanako said that but she didn't really mean it. She knew she was really to blame, being so careless that she stood right in front of a kneeling boy. But she simply couldn't accept that conclusion. Her pride couldn't take that. And speaking of being careless, she remembered that one time where she confiscated a photobook taken by a bunch of perverted boys containing pantyshots of pretty much every female student in her old school. When she sorted through it, she was amazed on how many angles and situations the boys could take the shoot. Of course, hers was in there as well so those boys pretty much ended up receiving quite the beating from her. From that incident, she knew just how susceptible her uniform was to creep shots. She would gladly wear a longer skirt if not for the fact that she loved wearing short skirts and dresses.

N-no, it was not because of some perverted reason. It's just because she loved the feeling of freedom it gave with the breeze going through her legs and thighs freely. She suspected it was because she was a wind elementalist, so it would be natural if she loved the feeling of the wind blowing to her skin. Long skirts just felt too stuffy for her.

H-honestly, if he had not mentioned the fact right to her face, she wouldn't be too mad at him looking at her panties. But for him to laugh about it, she felt terribly humiliated by the matter.

T-this didn't mean she's an exhibitionist or anything! It's just that she knew she was wearing a (relatively) short skirt so panty flashes could happen occasionally. Just... please don't mention it so she wouldn't be ashamed about it.

Zeke led the other two through a short corridor and ended up in an open, grassy square. A fountain stood in the middle, and that immediately attracted Zeke's attention, and he ran forward to stare. The light shone wonderfully through the streams and reflected off the ripples. There was even a little spray, and maybe he could find an angle where that spray split the light into a rainbow. He crouched down, and started crawling along the edge, looking for that point where the spray was thick enough and the angle was right.

He loved painting rainbows, but he needed more practice. They never had the right look. The borders between the colours were always too abrupt. If he could find another- Zeke bumped into something. He turned to his left to see a pair of legs. He followed them up, past a short pair of shorts and a thin blouse with curves to a girl's face. "Sorry," he said, then put his hands on her knees and kept moving. She blocked a part of the fountain, so he looked past her other side to make sure she wasn't blocking that perfect angle.

Vera listened, intrigued as Catherine listed the academy's places of interest in response to Lyra's question. No wonder the students were dismissed at noon everyday. There was simply too much to explore. She could only imagine the work that had been put into building the place. What kind of school fees were her parents paying for her to study there? She also payed careful attention to the teacher's advice regarding her own element, particular interested in what she suggested about Lyra and her using their abilities together at the last part.

"Thank you so much for your advice, Ma'am, I'll keep all of that in mind," Vera replied cheerfully. "It's a pleasure to be here too!"

She then turned to Lyra, excitement lighting up her amber eyes. "Lyra dear, we should totally try to come up with a combo move or something once we learn to control our powers well enough!"

@Stern Algorithm @Pseudo Stygian

[Pseudo Stygian]

"For example, both light and sound have wave properties."

Of course! Lyra remembered her grandmother used to tell her stories about waves and sound. "Sound," she used to say, "is made of vibration. That means moving back and forth, dear. So the vibration causes the tiny parts that make up air to also move back and forth, rhythmically, like they're dancing, see. And this dance, we call it a wave. This dance is what reaches your ears, dear." "Oh! But grandma, I heard somewhere that light is also a wave? So does it mean that if this wave reaches our eyes, that's light?"

Her grandmother had laughed at that. "Oh no, dear. Light is something different. Light is a dance of two waves, electronics and magnetic. Light is also a beast that's very hard to explain. Why don't you run along now, your mother is looking for you."

He violin was playing something, still very quietly. A jaunty little rhythmm. Lyra blinked and tuned herself back to the present. The sound stopped.

Vera was saying something. Combo move? "Oh, yes! Yes, that'll be great once we can figure it out!" Different kinds of waves. How do elementals get into the figure? "Maybe we can make lights dance in the air? Err..."

She turned to the teacher. Lyra wanted to ask her about everything, but it was probably better to be patient, learn it all in time. She bowed her head. "Thank you, Ma'am."

To Vera, she said, "So... do you want to look around?"

Jake then warmed the blood in his body raising his temperature and causing him to sweat...allot...

"I-it's just something I heard some boys calling me from behind during the assembly. ShiZhen said, unsure what about the term was eliciting such a reaction from Jake. When he whispered to her, ShiZhen tried to calm her nerves, having noticed a correlation between being anxious and becoming wet, whispering back a 'thanks'. Going along with his bluff, she followed Jake outside. "I-I don't think you should spar with the headmaster; he seems...dangerous.

"You're both very welcome," Catherine replied. Seeing that the girls seemed to want to explore the grounds more, she let them go on their way, and resumed her patrol of the field. She would continue to do this, occasionally greeting students or pointing them in the right direction if they were looking for a particular location. Thinking on her responsibilities, she smiled to herself as the thought of Jordan Manilow's impending speech crossed her mind.

Jake back on the otters pocket subject "Ok what did they look like, how many of them were there, and would you know there names by any......." Jake noticed ShiZhen wasn't as near as concerned as he was and decided to explain. " An 'otters pocket' is another word for 'girl parts' and a 'pocket otter' is another word for 'boy parts' that is why this is a big deal. number one that is rude, disrespectful, and straight out bullying and number two they were being rude, disrespectful, and bullying 'you' and nobody messes with my Shi." Jake grabbed ShiZhen in a bear hug.

"And on the sparing with the head master note that's for when I get better with my element and besides I probably wouldn't win but it's better to learn when your put in a situation where you have to learn in order to survive. It's like when I learned to swim, I just jumped in the creek, it was swim or drown and so I learned to swim pretty quick. Now... Jake noticed they were still soaked and he was still warm."Ok you have ten seconds to take all the electronics out of your pockets if there not already soaked 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...times up!" A huge smile ran across Jake's face as he picked ShiZhen up, ran over to the fountain, and dropped her in. Jake nodded to the other students that were there and then jumped in the fountain as well. "CANNON BALL!!!"

Jideh walked in step with his friends, retreating back into himself for a spell. It had not been too bad of a day, making friends and learning about the abilities they all had- he had forgotten his luggage again. They reached a central square of sorts. A truly massive fountain dominated the space, and there was something... Funny, about the arcs and streams that the water made. Before Jideh could reflect any further on this, Zeke broke from the group and ran up to the fountain, nearly tackling some poor girl. Jideh guessed that Zeke was, as he had already demonstrated, merely looking for a good angle from which to draw with light. Jideh felt he should inform this girl that their Zeke was not in fact harassing her intentionally. Crossing the breadth of the square, Jideh was even more impressed by the fountain, seeing the long fingers of shade that curled deep underneath the fountain. This girl was older, and dressed like it. Jideh managed to maintain a respectable manner, only looking at her eyes, but even to him it felt a tad forced. Was she trying to get him to look? Not important, he needed to tell her, "Apologies, our breasts are just playin-"

Jideh turned carnation red on the spot.

Jordan was taking the mother of all dumps. He was pinching a loaf, dropping a brick, "fertilizing," as the boys in Texas used to say. Those poor kids, they're lucky they aren't in he-YAAAARGHHH!

...

Twenty minutes later, Jordan had arrived at the central square. He waited by the east side, glowering at the massive monument to Kano's idiocy. It was a well-known fact that Kano was one of a precious few elementalists with Dual Mastery. This fountain, with its perfectly placed streams and shades, was essentially a powerful reminder of Kano's power, and if you looked at it from the right angle, even resembled the sickeningly unnatural form of the Headmaster's current body. There had even been times when Kano sprung out of the fountain and nobody had been the wiser. He'd scared the hell out of Jordan to no end when he did that. This "statue" of sorts was Jordan's least favourite feature on the Academy grounds. And yet, Jordan thought he could see some students playing near the fountain. Unbelievable. He'd wait for Kanako here, where he could keep an eye on the most innocuous yet simultaneously dangerous location in the entire school, even counting Jordan's shed. Unfortunately. "It's a friggin' nuke sitting in the middle of our school," Jordan muttered, shaking his head.
