Interacting with: Everyone
Location: the room viewing the underground range
One after another, the students went, they all did as instructed and Francis smiled and gave each student an approving nod as they displayed their gifts. Now the only student that was yet to display their gift to the class was Sophie, and she was clearly uncomfortable with this notion.
Francis looked at her and grinned.
"Saving the best for last are we, my dear? Care to share with us what you can do?" He chuckled softly as he casually went and got the nearest fire extinguisher.
Sophie flinched and tensed up when Francis addressed her.
"And by 'best', you mean 'most unstable ', right?" She said as she eyed Francis, then sighed and stood up as Francis returned with a fire extinguisher in hand.
"Alright.... Seems I no longer have a choice in the matter... My name is Sophie Blackthorn, codename: Pyro. Pretty self explanatory as to why but I am obligated to show you why anyways."Sophie opened the heavy steel door to the range and stepped inside, then shut and locked the door behind her; Francis stood at the ready. Suddenly, the range erupted in fire and the room was enveloped in a blazing inferno of hellfire. The steel door quickly turned a bright, glowing white and a heat radiated from it that could still be easily felt a good 5ft away. Inside the inferno, Sophie stood unscathed by the fire that surrounded her and and crawled up her body. She extended her arm towards the giant window overlooking the range and a sudden, roaring ball of fire coiled around her extended arm before shooting and attacking the glass.
That's when Francis intervened, Francis phased through the glass and out the flames with the extinguisher, and in a matter of about 5-10 minutes, the flames were put out for the most part. The large steel door was unlocked by Sophie and the two finally exited the range.
"Use of the range is off limits for the rest of the day and don't touch this door for at least another two hours or you will get burned." Francis instructed then turned to Sophie, then sighed softly and gently grinned.
"Well done, dear. You may sit down now. " Sophie nodded and sat down in the nearest open seat, looking down at the ground.
Meanwhile, Francis clapped his hands together and shifted his attention to the remainder of the class.
"Now then! Onto the next order of business! As some of you may know, I usually do not take on this many students and this is still very true. However, I have chosen an advanced student that will help me in teaching all of you. Bao Lu, please stand and be recognized." Francis gestured to Bao Lu.
"Bao Lu will be taking on half of the class for the time being in training them, while I will be taking the other half. Raylan, Sophie, Loki, Katherine, and Danielle. You will be on my team. Grace, Casey, Taylor. You will be on Bao Lu's team. I am expecting you to all work hard and I will be regularly receiving reports on your progress. If I am being informed that you are not making the progress needed, you will either be put through a version of mutant cram school, or.... you will be expelled and sent home. Any questions? If not then you are dismissed to familiarize yourself with your new team members and classmates."
