[@Stern Algorithm] Kano chuckled to himself politely at the first few attempts ShiZhen tried at attempting to repel the water. Indeed it was harder than it looked which was why he chuckled. So many students wanted to master everything quickly. [color=004b80]"The trick is directing the water. Not forcing it."[/color] Fingers closed in a fist the headmaster pointed his hand at ShiZhen, taking his time to spread his influence across a large area around the young pupil. The change of the water would not be very obvious but under his command it became almost motionless, until Kano extended his fingers. The water around ShiZhen, including the water on her outfit and hair, flowed out steadily until she sat on the smooth stones. All the water in the pool near her had receeded as if a sheet of glass had surrounded her. [color=004b80]"Perhaps repelling water might not be a good start for you just yet. Close your eyes and focus on the water around you, flowing free, until you can hear it in your mind. When that happens just imagine it collecting over your hands instead of away from them."[/color] [hr] [@Kalleth] Felix had taken his time showering, making sure to clean the cuts on his hand as thoroughly as he could before getting out and wiping himself dry. To his displeasure the cuts refused to stop bleeding after hitting the wall. Now all he had was dirty clothes and a bloody towel. Good start to the day. With an exasperated and tired sigh of annoyance Felix flicked the towel into provided laundry hamper before dawning his dirty clothes again. The feeling of dirt on clean skin had him scowling but there was nothing to be done for it. The morning progressed slowly as he took the opportunity of peace and quiet to have some plain toast and a glass of water, if only to stave off hunger, before sitting down on the couch. The door being all but kicked broke the steady calm he had nearly achieved and replaced it with anger once more. All he caught was "tough guy. Girlfriend. Score." Felix was off the couch and at the door in an instant, all but throwing it open. "SHUT UP!!" Not bothering to look at who was there or why he threw a left hook at the shouters chin, aiming to break their jaw with one good hit and shut them up.
