Like all the other teachers present it was often the case that they hovered around displays featuring their own element. Judging strength for something familiar ws far easier than making assumotions. 
So it was that Kano glanced down at the juvenile efforts of Yelena. The girls heart was in the right place but.. perhaps it was not steady.

"Try again, please. Try drawing from the streams flowing around this place until it creates a pool, maybe that would make it easier to form the desired effect."

Standing at the lip of the sunken area, trying to encourage positivity. Perspective. The objective wasn't to heap challenges on students. They needes to be coaxed, to think of new solutions when their efforts yielded poor results.

Willingness to try. 

"There is no failing grade. All we ask is honest display."

With that, Kano turned and viewed the others showing off their strength. Some manifested it with displays of control, or showmanship. While it wasn't what what he'd expected that didn't mean it ws wrong.

Multicolore lights drew his attention, the spray of water caught his heart. From down below was a peculiar student. Her control over Water was indeed very weak but a thriving mind was making use of other means.
A challenge that should be difficult, impossible even by the standards of it, was being aced before his widened eyes.
Thoras display of, for lack of a better term, 'military salute' style of showmanship was indeed very impressive. Using her gadget to make pressurized bursts of multicolored streams in the air.

Kano clapped enthusiastically, forgetting his usual calm analysis in favor of the enjoyment alone.

"Splendid, absolutely splendid!" 

As before, the Headmaster angled himself at the lip of the area to call down. If memory served the girl was very shy, or just quiet... mute? 

"Masterfully done, Thora. Most impressive given your limitations, but.. I would enjoy seeing more when I return. For now, take a breather. You've earned it."

Still clapping, genuinely pleased by the ingenuity of his students, he continued to patrol the area. Casually looking on as students tried their best to meet the expectations of strength.

Across the ways a golden radiance drew his attentionas Thora had done, but this time it wasn't a trick of he lighting. It was an actual light trick.

Jeanne d'Luc, the paladin. Angel of the academy. Adopted heir to the late Jax razor, retired again with his injuries flaring up. In his stead was this shining testament to a relentless pursuit of strength.
Maybe a bit too overzealous this time though.
Sitting quietly on the sidelines, Kano simply listened in on her speech and requests. Not even three months and already it felt like she was going to get them ready for war.

Just like Jax. 

"Miss D'Luc. I trust you are not pushing the students too hard on the first leg of the test? We don't need anyone getting hurt over a simple test now."

Zeke was a good boy. Timid perhaps, but talented in his own right. As it stood though it was far too early to pile such a strenuous task on the lads shoulders. Others might see the challenge but Kano wasn't so sure now was the best time.

The second leg of the test would be better.

"If it is alright with you, could we postpone the king Arthur trial for a bit? I'd like to see Zeke show us what he can make."
