Nilin looked over the group, the wary faces trying their best to hide the blossoming hope underneath.  Irina's attention was elsewhere, as it might be when one has several voices sounding off inside one's mind. By and large, it seemed that they were now prepared to listen, or move on.  At the very least, they were less suspicious and resistant than before her display so it had been the correct choice to display it in such a vivid manner.

"The first group session will involve everyone and from there we will assess you and divide you into smaller groups more applicable to your individual ability types.  Training in groups alongside your individual sessions has yielded rapid results in the past and should enable you all to develop and control your abilities faster."

Nilin strode up one of the aisles and through the auditorium doors, turning left and taking the door at the opposite end of the corridor to where the residents had been going for their individual sessions.  There was no need to tell the group to follow, they simply did so obediently although with some quiet conversation as they followed their new instructor with some small degree of hope.

After a few turns past the previously locked door Nilin came to a large set of double doors and pushed through them without pause, the group following her into a massive but empty room.  The walls were shielded with metal plates and there were none of the fake-windows in here, just an array of lights in the ceiling that were behind a fine mesh gauze, presumably for protection.

"This is the main training room used for group activities.  For now I'm going to split you all into pairs and you're going to work out a way to train your abilities together.  Then you'll rotate partners and experiment with each other to find what works and what doesn't."  Nilin had no pad or list from which to read, there was no need, so familiar was she with each of the individuals and their respective abilities.

"Your starting pairs are as follows: Irina and Stasya, Mara and Nikolai, Arthur and Uriel, Lucie with Christian.       As we have an odd number Abel will join Irina and Stasya.  I'll tell you when to switch partners.  Discuss where your powers overlap and test them against each other.  One thing though: don't do anything unnecessarily dangerous."  A slight, wry smile briefly flittered across her lips before promptly disappearing. "It's still early days for that."
