[center][h3]Liam Pyne[/h3][/center] As soon as the Noah problem was resolved another far more mortal issue presented itself in the form of the Academy’s queen bee, Paulina Benson. It wasn’t that Paulina was an awful person or brought with her a host of problems. It was just that she seemed to think that he was the solution to some problem that vexed her. No doubt it had to do with the fact that his powers and hers seemed to interact in a rather exclusive manner. She couldn’t affect ghosts as far as he could tell and his powers were largely confined to the spirit world.

The combination of the sudden fatigue from the use of his powers and Paulina’s comment left him speechless for a moment as his brain tried to recover from the unexpected approach. What came next was a botched attempted recovery which only made him a brighter shade of pink. “Her name is Korie. This is her first year here. Which is why you haven’t met her yet.” was all he managed to get out. Still rather flustered he flicked his gaze towards Alister when Paulina addressed him.
