[h1][center][color=crimson] Diana Schwarzwald [/color][/center][/h1] [center] Academy Grounds; Underground [i][b]The Life Of A Teenage Pyro[/b][/i][/center] [@Zelosse][@Kalleth] [hr] As the cavern she was walking into suddenly began to cool, the fire user flared up her powers to dry herself, and her clothes by extension, off to avoid another potential disaster with her wardrobe. That and the potential issues of hypothermia and assorted things that went along with the extreme cold and ice and something that had initially felt like below-zero temperatures. Though after drying herself, Diana kept up an aura of heat just over her clothes and skin, like a thin blanket it didn't take too much effort at all to make for herself, to maintain her body temperature and avoid freezing. It was just another step to help her try to better handle this challenge, at least mentally since she wouldn't be distracted by the cold now. Looking over the gap at the great glacier sitting before her and overcoming this challenge, the redhead thought for a moment as she watched the outer layers being shuffled off of the glacier and into the crevasse below. Moving over, Diana sat near the edge of the crevasse, adopting a bit of focus as she had in the first test. Albeit, this would not be aimed for the same overblown effect as before. She didn't need to focus to use her element, but in this situation she had the time to focus on the task ahead, and so could use this sitting to focus and hone what she was going to do. It was something, at least, and she began to cause more heat to rise up, moving from her core and into her body as it grew and grew with her focus and control. She channel it to her arm, down to her hands, to her palms, and then- [center][i]FWOOSH!!![/i][/center] Extending her arms out from her person, Diana let loose hot but long jets of flame from her palms, aimed towards the outer layers of the glacier. This was her initial idea for solving the issue, melting off the outer layers to expose the stronger stuff. Then she could make her way to the next part of her plan in handling this. But for now, she was going to see how melting off the outer layers rapidly would affect things. Not that it would give her a lake to swim over to the hard ice with, but hell she wanted to be careful instead of rushing this stuff like a moron.

Curse you Breath of the Wild game mechanics![/s][/i][/center][/b] [hr] Headmaster Kano. that was the only individual she felt would be sitting there and stopping her creation like that, the only teacher able to do so anyways. The brown haired girl frowned slightly that she couldn't at least make a tiny bit of room for herself. She wouldn't destroy the whole place, just....trim the trees a little. But apparently this option was unacceptable, even more unacceptable than her trying to be confident in using her element apparently in the headmaster's eyes. The earlier frustration began to bubble back up, but the teen did her best to push it back down again. No. Not here. She wouldn't loose her cool here, and especially not while using her powers to warp darkness somehow. Sure she was also curious about the voice, especially with how much it had struck her mentally that even now she got a chill thinking about it barely any time later, and hell there was a lot still unanswered for her after the earlier incident with Mr. Manilow during gym class. However, tackling this challenge now would be her first priority. It needed to be, and it might give her something to focus on as well. The teen began to focus again on shaping the power around her, the darkness that inkily stalked where the light dared not touch. Where it sat, waiting, watching, before she began to pull it into herself and project it outwards into a construct of her own. Another construct, this time not a damned lawnmower that the headmaster would just pop away again. She felt the darkness wrap around her arms and legs, like extensions of herself forming into existence around her already existing limbs. And indeed, this was the aim of her efforts, to form a darkness-constructed extension of her arms and legs attached to her actual ones. She felt herself stand taller a little bit, and her arms stretching out distinctly longer than they had been before. these "darkness extensions" were attacked on her arms and legs all the way back to her shoulders in the case of her arms and upper thighs in the case of her legs. Smirking for a moment with some pride in her handiwork this time around, Leanne moved forwards towards the wall. Using the darkness limbs, and the thorns and roots and such as handholds for these supernatural extensions to grasp onto, Leanne began to climb the wall, bit by bit, bit by bit, aiming to get up and over this wall that she was facing. She would reshape the feet and hands as needed as she climbed, extending the feet even to keep climbing whilst keeping herself back from the thorns on the wall themselves, in order to grab onto things as securely and safely as possible in her ascent. However, she kept an eye on the crack in the wall, and did her best to climb [b][u]around[/u][/b] the hole in the wall to avoid getting in line of sight of...anything potentially lying within it that could potentially spring to life and lash out at her if she got too close to it. As an added precaution, Leanne tried to form a small cover over the gap in the wall, made of darkness no less, to hopefully buy her time for climbing if her potentially odd suspicions were proven true. With that, she continued her climb, keeping a steady pace as she ascended upwards to avoid wiping herself out physically. Here was something. But if this construct was "popped" on purpose then she'd have a problem by falling on the thorns from an elevated position.
