After a few minutes of walking, the forested part of the academy grounds comes into view. At the edge of the forest is a long table with an assortment of different paintball guns and paintball containers. Mimic quickly goes over how to load and fire each one, then turns to the class and says, "If you get hit by three paintballs, you're out. All powers are allowed as long as they don't seriously injure your classmates. Last one standing wins. You may form groups, but know that you'll have to turn on one another eventually. I'll give you Agee minutes to discuss."

Anthony scans each of his classmates, his eyes turning grey as he mentally evaluating just how useful each would be.
