ShiZhen followed the others from homeroom to gym, though stopping by the locker room to change into her gym clothes. Today's gym format was unusual to say the least, and the thought that they might be here to the point of being late for their other classes caused her anxiety to spike. But the thought of bringing Mr Manilow down early and ending the class prematurely didn't sit right with her either. [i][color=a187be]What if it was a test? If they brought him down early, was it a sign that they didn't like classes and that they were bad students?[/color][/i] The other students started eagerly throwing 'balls' of their element at Mr. Manilow, but ShiZhen hesitated. However it suddenly hit her that there were methods to make him come down that didn't have to be immediate. A nasty thought passed through her mind. [color=a187be]"S-sorry, Mr. Manilow..."[/color] ShiZhen whimpered as she pointed at him with an index finger, directing Kracko Sr., her cloud 'familiar', to float up above Mr. Manilow's head. She didn't have to knock him down, she just had to make him uncomfortable enough to let go of his own volition. After all, ShiZhen had enough personal experience to know how bad it felt to be soaking wet. Kracko Sr. began letting down a light but relentless drizzle onto the gym teacher.

However, as Dia began to cool the surrounding area, ShiZhen meekly walked over to Felix to partake in his protective warmth. [color=a187be]"P-please excuse me..."[/color] ShiZhen nodded. She was a bit intimidated by the aggressive boy and wasn't sure if it was ok to be this close to him. Fire and water really didn't mix, but then again, neither did fire and ice.

What ShiZhen hadn't considered though, was the fact that if Dia continued to freeze the area around Manilow, if Kanako continued to hurl air blasts, and if Havish continued to electrocute the bar, Kracko's light drizzle might turn into something else, something a little less friendly.

Part of the reason she had not arrived at this potentially dangerous conclusion, was because someone had come in and started calling Mr. Manilow a hobo. Appalled by any sort of disrespect towards authority and potential for heated confrontation, ShiZhen decided to clear the matter up so as to prevent escalation,[color=a187be]"Th-that's not a hobo! That's the gym teacher, Mr. Manilow. Our exercise for today is to get him down using out powers."[/color] ShiZhen hoped that it was all just a misunderstanding, and that upon realizing the truth, Kris' rudeness would melt away.
