Vera's head snapped up sharply when she heard a crisp female voice address her from above. She did not recognize the older blonde, but from her words, it was clear that she was a new instructor for light students. The seemingly stern young woman had complimented her on her skill, but was pushing her to do more. Vera herself had not thought about how far she could take what she was doing, merely desiring enjoyment from it all. Create mirrors? That sounded interesting. She gave the teacher a pleasant smile and nodded.

"I'll do my very best, Ma'am."

Attempting to dismiss the fact that she was being watched like a hawk, she took a deep breath and began to concentrate. What she had done before had seemed like her reflections on the walls, though, she knew all too well that they were in fact projections thanks to the light she had been emitting. She had to go about this a different way. A mirror would be a flat panel that reflected light, which meant that she had to imagine a two-dimensional surface in midair where light would not be allowed to pass through. Vera could somewhat 'see' the general activity of the photons around her, directing the light to reflect off of the area she had decided on. The reflective surface grew into a neat rectangle, resembling a mirror.

Once she had figured it out, she did the same for an area behind her. She had somewhat completed the given task. However, if one squinted, they would see that the reflected images were slightly blurred, indicating that the surfaces were still rougher than those of actual mirrors. She strained for even better control over the light, and the images sharpened a little more. She would maintain that control until the teacher spoke again. Vera could only hope that she had shown her what she had wanted to see, but having had countless fulfilling moments ever since she had stepped into the academy, she should not be fearful of disappointment.

Valeria's eyes lit up as the girl spoke about her experience. "Excellent! I must say, not many embrace the gift of fire control like you at your age. You've clearly learnt to appreciate the strength and beauty of this magnificent force. I truly look forward to seeing what you do next."

Some laughter from above then caught the attentions of both redheads. A teenage boy had caught sight of the scene and was making fun of the girl. How horrible! However, to her pleasant surprise, the girl took it rather well. She played along, teasing the boy back. Valeria sighed in relief, thankful for the girl's sense of humor and the fact that she was not going to have a scuffle on her hands. She then pulled out the cohort list that she kept with her and searched for the girl's name. She could also find out which dorm she was assigned to from there.

"Ah, Schwarzwald. I'll be right back with something for you to wear."

Out of curiosity, she took another glance at the boy and checked for his particulars on the list as she walked up the stairs. [i]Williams... and this one is a fire elementalist as well, interesting...[/i] Reaching the top of the stairs, she patted his shoulder as she passed him.

"I'd like to see what [i]you[/i] can do too, my boy."
