[center][h2][color=0072bc]Shou Zheng[/color][/h2][/center]With a grunt and a few escaped air bubbles, Shou managed to wrench his sword free before he pushed it too far into the pressurized zone. Tapping at border in front of him was almost like pressing his fingers against a film of sort. He could push into it, but it wasn't pleasant at all. His body adjusted to the intensifying pressures as he dived deeper and deeper, so just suddenly being exposed to the stark difference was actually a bit painful. He was reasonably sure he could survive being shoved into the zone, but it wouldn't be without injury. 

He shook his hand after he pulled the finger free and huffed before he continued to dive even deeper. Plumbing the depths beneath Bermuda for anything of interest revealed that the island seemed to be situated above an even deeper trench of sorts. Of sorts because it clearly didn't seem to be natural given how it was precisely the shape of the island and allowed the pressurized zone to extend even deeper. There was no way for him to know just how deep at the moment, and his head was starting to hurt a bit from the constant electric buzz. Given the scope of the island, he must have been diving for at least an hour or two by now. Discovering this strange pressurized zone was a start and meant he hadn't just wasted his time. Maybe there was something being trapped at the bottom of the zone? He'd have to see about finding some sort of container that could withstand the pressures and some sun rods. For now though, he swam back up to warmer and clearer waters.

Thankfully the beaches weren't just an afterthought, and some of them had clearly been meant for the students to enjoy. Beyond the various palm trees that provided some shade and greenery to the area, there was also access to fresh water via fountains and a few shower heads. It saved him a trip back to the dorms to get changed as he simply rinsed and rung out his clothes right then and there. Between the sunny afternoon and the warm tropical breeze rolling through the island, he'd be dried off by the time he found a place to eat for lunch. 

There were naturally a few spots by the waterfront for the beach-goers, but Shou found himself wandering into the more built-up sectors of the island in search of fare. It also gave him the opportunity to swipe a copy of the newspaper being hawked and he blinked a few times at the headline. [color=0072bc]"Damn, you [i]are[/i] as bad as the rumours,"[/color] he muttered with a shake of his head as he skimmed over the paper for any other noteworthy news. With his eyes glued there, he started to test out just how best to get his echolocation to function out of the water. As he was in public, he began with a few higher pitched clicks. Something beyond the normal range of human hearing so as to not bother the other students around him.
