Suvoshi Wonderland.
At first glance one would see a well set, beautiful, young woman that was the advisory teacher for classroom B-12 and a chemistry teacher for various sections. She was a predominately admired woman and that wasn't simply because she was easy on the eyes, but because shew as one of the staff members that was in on the school's little secret. That this school was gathering some of the most gifted of power users and training them to tap into their innermost powers so that they could carve their own futures with their own tiny little hands. Recently, however, things have changed. Rumors of a dark guild of power users, with extraordinary talents, have come to be a threat to the rest of the school and, potentially, even the whole world. Still, they were mostly just rumors....Though Ms. Wonderland did not intend on dismissing them as just that.
Due to her suspicions, she developed a unique group known as the Counter. Their purpose was to act as somewhat guardians of the school under the guise of ordinary students. She used her precious students to investigate matters that she could not and, through the many months, she found that the shadowy group was more than just a rumor. They were more than that and she knew, immediately, that she would have to stop them.
Even if that meant that she was possibly putting those innocent youths in unprecedented troubles.
It was all for the greater good, she knew.

Ms. Wonderland was uncharacteristically late today. It was so unusual for her to be anything but 10 minutes early. The more senior members of the Counter most likely would have been a little confused that she wasn't already waiting in the classroom for them. However, exactly 15 minutes late, the familiar sound of high heels tapping on linoleum echoed up and down the hallway beside the room. The woman would walk in, holding a cardboard box at her side. The box was a fair size, about 4x4x2, making it look like some sort of board.
"Hello everyone," She'd greet, her voice a melodic chime. She had a high voice, able to reach the sharpest octaves with the slightest syllable, and it was caked with her Russian accent from her homeland, "Welcome to those of you who have never been here before. I think you for taking the interest to see just what we are all about," She'd grin a moment before turning around and opening the box she set down on the front desk. "We have a small mission for today. A simple training exercise. I know everyone has been trying hard, but this exercise will be to further your powers and practice your sparring aptitude. For some of you, this will be a simple task, however, for a few," She'd reach down into the box and pull out a doll, "This will be very difficult."
The doll had curly red hair, freckles, black button eyes, and a creamy peach colored skin. It wore a checkered dress of dark red, gold, soft pink and mahogany brown that fell down to it's ankles and on its feet were a pair of black, strapped flats. Most likely there wouldn't be a single student familiar with these dolls, but if there was someone who knew of them they'd know to refer to the doll as a Blitzkreig and they were not lightly named either.
Ms. Wonderland held for any questions, holding the doll in hand. If no one asked any she would begin the demonstration.
She pressed her finger into the belly of the doll, which caused an electric spark. The doll twitched a moment before it turned it's head to her. As it turned to look at her the doll's hair faded to brown, it's clothes matched the stylish brown dress Ms. Wonderland wore and the matching black heels, and it's skin tone, eye color and even curvature warped to match Ms. Wonderland. In an instant she was holding a duplicate of herself.
Putting the doll on the table it would stand on its two legs and look over the classroom.
"Now, everyone come up and grab a doll and do exactly as I did," She would instruct, motioning a hand towards the box of dolls.
As everyone came and picked one up she would place a finger on it, causing a spark, and the doll would warp to match whomever picked it up. John and Houston would have their own little duplicates before long. The doll would follow after them, typically standing or sitting in a matching position as them, and they would look at the original each time the original looked their way. Despite looking similar they did not have mouths, ears or a nose, so they were only so much alike their original.
When everyone had their own and were either back behind the computers or standing, Ms. Wonderland would begin the next part of the test.
"You all have by the end of today. The only goal is to defeat your doll. You may use any means to defeat them. Do not rush or be hasty, else you will end up harming yourself. Just...Think it through. This is not a test of brute force," She would say, leaning back on the front desk with her doll on the ground in a similar position. The two were looking over the class curious as to how they were going to go about this test.
"As you all contemplate doing that, I also want you all to know that we have heard," By we, she meant Counter's vast resources, "That the dark group has started moving again. They've been quite a while, but that most likely is only going to be trouble for us. For the next couple days be sure to be extra careful always. Do not let them find you out and, should you find them, be sure to come to me immediately."
